Definitions
- the invention relates to a piezoelectric actuator, which is preferably used as an actuating element, and a method for producing this piezoelectric actuator.
- Piezo actuators are used in many areas of fuel injection, for example as actuators or for actuating a nozzle needle, in particular in diesel injection systems.
- the actuator must provide a minimum force and a minimum stroke, so that the corresponding actuator, which is to be moved by the piezoelectric actuator, works properly.
- piezo actuators are used, which are constructed as so-called multi-layer actuators. These consist of a plurality of ceramic layers, which typically have a layer thickness of about 100 microns. Between the ceramic layers, layer electrodes are alternately arranged, which are mutually contacted to terminal electrodes. By applying an electrical voltage between the terminal electrodes, an electric field results between every two adjacent layer electrodes, so that the ceramic layer, which is located between the two layer electrodes, changes its thickness depending on the size of the electric field.
- the force of the piezoelectric actuator is determined by the active cross-sectional area, ie the area through which the applied electric field penetrates.
- the stroke is again determined by the relative elongation of the piezoceramic when the electric field is applied. It should be noted that a maximum electric field strength can not be exceeded since otherwise it would lead to breakdowns between the individual layer electrodes. eroden, which would lead to a short circuit and thus to a failure of the component. A Huberhöhung at maximum electric field is thus possible only by a higher number of ceramic layers and thus with a longer piezoelectric actuator.
- DE 199 132 71 A1 shows a piezoactuator which has two terminal electrodes applied to the outer surface of the piezoactuator, wherein the layer electrodes are mutually guided on the surface of the piezoactuator. At these external terminal electrodes, a corresponding electrical voltage can be applied to the layer electrodes.
- connection electrodes are known which extend inside the piezoelectric actuator. In this case, two longitudinal bores are introduced into the piezoelectric actuator and rod-shaped connecting electrodes are introduced, which alternately contact the layer electrodes in the interior of the piezoelectric actuator. As a result, the installation space of the piezoelectric actuator is reduced, and the connection electrodes are protected inside the piezoelectric actuator.
- the piezo actuators are made of a green body and sintered freestanding in the oven.
- the piezoelectric actuator becomes too long in relation to the base surface, there is a risk that the piezoelectric actuator warps during sintering and thus becomes skewed, which renders the piezoelectric actuator unusable.
- Supporting of the piezoelectric actuator with a guide is hardly possible because, on the one hand, there is the danger that material of the supporting device will diffuse into the actuator and thus defects will be built into the piezoceramic.
- the inventive method for producing a piezoelectric actuator it is possible to produce very long piezoelectric actuators in a single sintering process.
- a longitudinal bore is introduced into the green body for internal contacting, which forms the piezoelectric actuator after sintering.
- a tubular connection electrode is introduced, wherein the connection electrode protrudes beyond one of the end sides of the green body. The protruding end of the connection electrode is now supported so that the green body can not distort during the sintering process.
- the method for producing the piezoelectric actuator can be further developed.
- the green body can rest on its base surface, which lies opposite the protruding end of the connection electrode.
- the green body can be suspended from the protruding connection electrode during the sintering process. It is particularly advantageous if one of the terminal electrodes runs exactly symmetrically in the middle of the green body, so that no tilting moments arise on the green body, which could favor warping during the sintering process.
- a guide pin is introduced into the terminal electrodes during the sintering process, which leads to a further stabilization.
- the terminal electrodes are made of copper, they soften due to the high temperatures during the sintering process, so that further stabilization by a guide pin, which is preferably made of ceramic or of a high-melting metal, leads to an improvement of the process ,
- connection electrode is firmly connected to the wall of the longitudinal bore in the sintering process, so that a firm connection between the connection electrode and the layer electrodes results.
- connection electrodes which run in the interior of the piezoactuator, are designed as a thin metal tube, which are sintered into the longitudinal bore of the piezoactuator.
- These tubular connection electrodes can be - A -
- Figure 1 shows a piezoelectric actuator according to the invention in side view with a guide for the connection electrodes during the sintering process
- FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through a piezoelectric actuator according to the invention or green body.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a piezoactuator according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows the same piezoactuator in a longitudinal section along the plane shown in FIG.
- the piezoelectric actuator 1 has an end face 5 and an opposite base surface 7 and consists of a plurality of actuator layers 4, all of which have at least approximately the same layer thickness and which are aligned parallel to one another.
- the actuator layers 4 consist of a ceramic, piezo-active material which is present as a green sheet before the sintering process. Different layers of this green sheet are stacked on top of each other until a green body of the desired height results.
- a layer electrode 2, 2 ' is formed, which consists of a highly electrically conductive metal, such as silver or a silver alloy.
- the layer electrodes 2, 2 ' alternately have a recess, through which pass two longitudinal bores 10, 10' which run in the actuator body 1. This has the consequence that only the layer electrodes 2 come to the wall of the longitudinal bore 10 to the fore, while on the wall of the longitudinal bore 10 'the layer electrodes 2' emerge.
- Figure 2 illustrates the piezoelectric actuator 1 as a green body, that is, before the sintering process.
- a tubular connection electrode 15, 15 ' is inserted into the longitudinal bores 10, 10', so that the connection electrode 15, 15 'extends over the entire length of the piezoactuator 1.
- the tubular connection electrode 15, 15 ' in this case, for example, designed as a thin copper tube, wherein also another metallic material can be used.
- the tubular connection electrodes 15, 15 ' have In this case, a diameter which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the longitudinal bore 10, 10 'so that the terminal electrodes 15, 15' on the one hand easier to introduce and on the other hand, the shrinkage process of the green body during the sintering process is taken into account.
- the manufacturing process now takes place in that the green body, as shown in Figure 2, is introduced into a corresponding sintering furnace.
- the tubular connection electrodes 15, 15 ' are here for example on a guide 22, which ensures that the connection electrodes 15, 15' are only very limited mobility.
- a guide pin 20 can also be inserted into the interior of the connection electrodes 15, 15', it being important to ensure that this also has some play inside the connection electrode 15, 15 '.
- the green body heats up, whereby filler material evaporates and forms a hard ceramic body. In this case, the green body shrinks, and the individual actuator layers 4 are firmly connected to the layer electrodes 2, 2 'and also to each other.
- connection electrodes 15, 15 ' are pressed firmly against the respective layer electrodes 2, 2', which emerge on the wall of the respective longitudinal bore 10, 10 '.
- the terminal electrode 15 contacts the stacked electrodes 2, while the terminal electrode 15 'contacts the stacked electrodes 2'.
- the guide pin 20 can either remain in the connection electrode 15, 15 'and be designed so that it is firmly clamped in the connection electrode 15, 15'. It can also be provided to choose the diameter of the guide pin 20 so that it can subsequently be removed again.
- it can also be provided to introduce it into the connection electrode 15, 15 'only so far that one end reaches the height of the end face 5. This ensures that after cutting off the protruding terminal electrodes 15, 15 'and the guide pin 20 is removed.
- the piezoelectric actuator 1 or the green body does not rest on the base surface 7 during the sintering process, but is suspended on one or both connection electrodes 15, 15 '.
- one of the terminal electrodes 15, 15 ' runs centrally in the piezoelectric actuator 1, so that there is no overturning moment on the green body.
- the projecting end of the connection electrodes 15, 15 ' is not completely removed after the sintering process, so that the protruding ends can be used for contacting connecting lines.
