Definitions
- Device for force simulation on an actuating element of a vehicle preferably a pedal simulator, and device for actuating an electric
- the invention relates to a device for force simulation on an actuating element of a vehicle, preferably a pedal simulator, which conveys a haptic feedback via a predetermined force-displacement behavior, comprising a piston-cylinder unit, wherein the piston is connected via a piston rod with the actuating element which axially moves the piston within the cylinder and means for actuating an electrical coupling system.
- a pedal force simulator for a vehicle brake system with electronic signal transmission is known in which a, dependent on the foot force of the driver control of the braking torque, in particular by means of electro-hydraulic or electro-mechanical systems is performed, wherein the pedal force simulator generates a familiar for a driver's brake feel.
- the pedal force simulator comprises a pneumatically operated piston-cylinder unit whose piston delimits a compression chamber with a controllable valve and counteracts the compression direction by means of at least one first spring element, the piston with a force and is operatively connected via a piston rod with a vehicle brake pedal such that the piston rod during the operation of the vehicle brake pedal undergoes a change in angle relative to the piston-cylinder unit.
- This angular mobility makes high demands on the construction of the pedal force simulator.
- DE 10 2010 061 439 A1 discloses a brake system for a motor vehicle, in which a brake pedal, which can be actuated by a driver, is connected to a pedal simulator for generating a path-dependent counteracting or restoring force.
- the position of the brake pedal is detected by means of a sensor and its sensor signal is supplied to the control unit for evaluation.
- the control unit In accordance with the position of the brake pedal, the control unit generates control signals for a drive control unit and a brake control device, so that a regenerated braking component generated thereby generates, together with the friction brake portion, a braking torque or a braking action which corresponds to the position of the brake pedal.
- the pedal simulator is actuated by the control unit in such a way that an opposing force or restoring force acts on the brake pedal, ie, a travel force Depends dependency, which gives the driver a pedal feel as in a braking exclusively with a hydraulic brake system.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for power simulation on an actuator of a vehicle, which conveys the driver the same feeling as in a normal hydraulic system and still easy to manufacture.
- the object is achieved in that the cylinder is filled with a medium, wherein the piston has at least one through opening and / or at least one groove extends on an inner wall of the cylinder, through which the medium upon actuation of the actuating element from a, in Movement direction of the piston in front of the piston lying first working space in a, the piston downstream second working chamber flows.
- the device for force simulation simulates a force-displacement curve, wherein the force acting on the foot or on the hand of the vehicle user via the actuating element is caused in dependence on the path, which covers the, a resistance element forming piston.
- the size of the device for force simulation corresponds to the size of a master cylinder in a hydraulic clutch actuation system, so that no further requirements are placed on the space requirement in the motor vehicle, which is why the power simulator can be installed instead of the master cylinder at the same point in the vehicle.
- two continuous, axially extending openings are formed in the piston, which are arranged symmetrically about a piston axis. This ensures that the force transmitted to the piston by the medium acts uniformly on the piston, allowing a stable, approximately vertical guidance of the piston within the cylinder.
- a diameter of the opening is formed constant.
- the diameter of the opening determines the volume of the medium, which is separated by the piston. can pass through from the first working space in the second working space.
- the volume and thus the force felt on the actuator is adjusted by the number of openings in the piston.
- the at least one groove extends on the inner wall of the cylinder in a longitudinal direction of the cylinder, through which the medium flows past the piston from the first into the second working space.
- This at least one groove alone or together with the opening in the piston allows a sensitive adjustment of the force difference, which is perceived by the vehicle user on the actuator.
- the variation possibilities of the force differences are increased by distributing a plurality of grooves to a circumference of the inner wall of the cylinder at a uniform interval.
- the grooves have a different length and / or a different axial position, whereby the desired difference in force over the, covered by the actuator path can be set very differentiated.
- a larger force occurs when only a small amount of liquid passes through the grooves on the piston from the first to the second working space, whereas a small force is set when, due to the position of the piston, which depends on the position of the actuating element, a plurality be released from grooves on the inner wall of the cylinder, which releases a large surface for the exchange of the volume between the first and the second working space.
- a shape of the grooves additionally varies in terms of cross section and / or width and / or height.
- the medium is formed as an incompressible liquid.
- the incompressible medium is a hydraulic fluid which is forced through the piston from the first working space into the second working space. Due to the incompressible property of the liquid creates a counterforce, which can be felt by the vehicle user on the actuating element, preferably an accelerator pedal safely.
- a development of the invention relates to a device for actuating an electric coupling system, in which an actuating element is connected to a device for force simulation on the actuating element, wherein the position of the actuating element is detected by a sensor unit and electrically transmitted to a control unit, which with a clutch in an active compound is.
- the device for force simulation is designed according to at least one feature embodied in this patent application. This has the advantage that in an electrical coupling system on the actuating element of the vehicle user is perceived exactly the same force as in a hydraulic or pneumatic coupling system.
- control unit has a power unit configured as an actuator for controlling the clutch, which is mechanically or hydraulically or pneumatically coupled to the clutch.
- the device for force simulation can be used on an actuating element of a vehicle in any form of the actuating elements.
- FIG. 1 shows a basic illustration of an electro-hydraulic clutch actuation system
- Figure 2 an embodiment of a pedal simulator of the electro-hydraulic
- the electric Hydraulic Kupplungsbetatigungssystem 1 includes a pedal simulator 2, which is mechanically connected to a clutch pedal 3.
- the clutch pedal 3 actuates via a piston rod 4 a, in the pedal simulator 2 axially movably mounted piston 5.
- the movement of the piston 5 is detected by a displacement sensor unit 6, which is connected to the pedal simulator 2 and preferably integrated in this.
- Via an electrical line 7, the distance sensor unit 6 is connected to a control and power unit 8.
- the control and power unit 8 comprises an actuator, which controls the clutch 10 via a further line 9.
- the line 9 is formed in the present case as a hydraulic line.
- the arrangement of the coupling 10 may alternatively but also be pneumatic or mechanical.
- FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the pedal simulator 2 as used in the clutch actuation system 1 according to FIG.
- the clutch pedal 3 is fastened to the piston rod 4 via a connection 11.
- the piston 5 is moved axially via the piston rod 4 as a function of the position of the clutch pedal 3.
- the cylinder 12 has at one end a guide element 13, for example a seal or a wall opening, in which the piston rod 4 is mounted axially.
- the piston 5 is connected thereto and guided circumferentially on an inner wall 14 of the cylinder 12.
- On the circumference of the inner wall 14 of the cylinder 12 extend along the longitudinal direction of the cylinder 12 grooves 15, 16, which are distributed axially with different lengths. Both the cross section and the height and width of the grooves are different. Due to this different geometry, the cylinder interior has different flow cross sections.
- the piston 5 has symmetrically to the piston rod 4 each have an opening 17, 18, which are formed continuously and are aligned axially to a piston axis, not shown. In the direction of movement of the piston 5, a first working chamber 19 and the piston 5 is arranged downstream of a second working space 20 is formed. To the piston rod 4 and the cylinder 12, a return spring 21 is partially arranged.
- the described pedal simulator 2 works as follows: When the clutch pedal 3 is actuated, the pedal movement is converted via the connection 11 into a corresponding advancing movement of the piston rod 4.
- the return spring 21 is compressed and tensioned, whereby a restoring reaction force is formed. Except- the attached to the piston rod 4 piston 5 is moved relative to the stationary mounted cylinder 12 within this forward. As a result, a more or less large volume of the hydraulic fluid is displaced from the first working space 19 into the second working space 20 through the openings 17, 18 of the piston 5 forming a resistance element.
- the hydraulic fluid additionally flows through the at least one groove 15, 16 past the piston 5 from the first working space 19
- the desired damping behavior is determined by the geometric shape of the grooves 15, 16, such as cross-section, width and height, which are uniformly distributed on the inner circumference of the cylinder 12 ,
- the described pedal simulator 2 is intended for a non-hydraulic actuation system, in particular a purely electric vehicle clutch system. Alternatively, however, it can also be used for any other actuation systems, such as brake systems, for example, which may also have any other actuation element instead of a pedal.
