Definitions
- the first and second series of distribution ducts respectively define a first and a second sub-machine.
- the two sub-machines are active because their two groups of respective distribution ducts are respectively connected to the supply and to the exhaust.
- the two groups of distribution ducts of the second series that is to say of the second sub-machine being connected to the same main pipe.
- a hydraulic machine of this type in this case a hydraulic motor, is known from the document FR 2,673,684 .
- the displacement selector To change the displacement of the engine, the displacement selector must be controlled to switch from one to the other of the aforementioned configurations.
- the displacement selector comprises a slide that moves between a first position corresponding to the large displacement configuration, in which it connects the first and third speakers together by isolating them from the second chamber, and a second position which corresponds to in the configuration of small displacement, in which it connects the second and third speakers together isolating them from the first speaker.
- the third enclosure is connected either with the first enclosure or with the second enclosure.
- the displacement selector is blocked so that the third enclosure would then be isolated from both the first and the second enclosure. If the machine operates in such a blocking situation, the pressure in the third chamber may rise, under the effect of the fluid discharged into this chamber which can not escape from it because of the isolation of this enclosure .
- the hydraulic machine has a preferred operating direction in small displacement, since all the distribution ducts of the second series are then connected to the same main pipe by the connection between the second and third speakers. If this machine is a motor, this preferred direction in small displacement corresponds to that in which the main pipe to which is connected the first enclosure in a small displacement configuration is a main supply line. Indeed, in this case, the distribution ducts of the second series are all connected to the exhaust pipe by the connection between the second and third speakers.
- the distribution ducts of the second series are all connected to the feed in small displacement configuration so that the sub-engine corresponding to this second series of distribution ducts is inactivated since all its ducts dispensers are put at the same pressure, but it can exert a resistant torque on the engine.
- the high pressure in the second and third speakers can cause a partial displacement of the selector up to isolate the third speaker of the first and second speakers, and can thus lead to an increase in significant pressure in this third chamber since the fluid that is repressed can not escape.
- a pressure limiter is a valve calibrated at a given trigger pressure, from which it opens to connect the enclosure it protects to an evacuation, in particular to a tank without overpressure.
- pressure limiters are expensive and relatively bulky valves.
- the more the machine is designed to withstand high pressures and flow rates the greater the cost and the size of the pressure relief devices used to protect it against overpressure become important.
- the invention aims to improve the state of the art by avoiding as much as possible to damage the machine under the effect of overpressure, particularly in the third enclosure, with the aid of a solution which is substantially free from the aforementioned drawbacks.
- the safety valve is simply a valve that can be controlled between the first and second configurations above, without having to be tared at a particular pressure.
- this valve is both significantly less expensive and significantly less bulky than a pressure limiter.
- the safety valve avoids dangerous overpressures that can occur when the displacement selector is controlled to the small displacement configuration but that we are in a particular situation in which the machine operates in non-preferential direction in small displacement , or in which, although operating in a preferred direction in small displacement, the feed pressure becomes greater than the exhaust pressure (in particular by a hydrodynamic braking phenomenon, as when the machine is a driving motor of a vehicle that travels forward and downhill), or in which the selector is partially blocked during the passage from large to small displacement.
- the safety valve connects the third enclosure to the main pipe to which its first track is connected, which, even in the particular situations mentioned above, avoids the isolation of this third enclosure and therefore avoids excessive overpressure in the latter.
- the safety valve further comprises a third channel connected to said other main line and the second and third channels are connected in the first configuration of said safety valve.
- the second channel, and therefore the third speaker is connected to one or the other of the main ducts depending on whether the selector displacement is controlled towards its small displacement configuration or towards its large displacement configuration.
- the displacement selector is blocked when it is controlled towards its large displacement configuration from its small displacement configuration, the third enclosure is not isolated because it is connected to said other main pipe.
- this is consistent with the fact that, in large displacement, the third chamber must anyway be connected to said other main line by the displacement selector, if the latter operates normally.
- said one of the main lines to which is connected the first channel of the safety valve is the main pipe used for the exhaust in the preferred direction of operation of the machine.
- the first and second channels are connected to said one of the main lines by a non-return valve allowing only the flow of fluid in the direction from the second way to the first way .
- the check valve may be located between the first channel and said one of the main lines, in which case the first channel is permanently connected to said one of the main lines by this valve.
- the displacement selector is hydraulically controlled and comprises a selection control chamber connected to a displacement control duct for soliciting passage between one of the large displacement and small displacement configurations, and the other of said configurations, and a reverse displacement control, able to solicit the passage of said other configurations of large displacement and small displacement at said one of said configurations.
- the reverse displacement control may comprise another hydraulic control chamber, connected to another control duct, or other means, in particular a return means, such as a spring of antagonistic effect to that of the power supply. from the control room.
- the safety valve is hydraulically controlled and comprises a safety control chamber connected to a safety pilot conduit for urging the passage of one of the first and second configurations to the other of the first and second configurations, as well as an inverse safety command for urging the passage of said other of the first and second configurations to said one of the first and second configurations.
- the reverse safety control may comprise another safety control chamber, connected to another control duct to have an effect antagonistic to that of the aforementioned safety control chamber, or a return means such as a spring, of antagonistic effect to that of the fluid supply of the safety control chamber.
- cubic capacity control duct and the safety pilot duct are interconnected.
- the machine comprises an internal fluid distributor comprising the two series of distribution ducts.
- the displacement selector is disposed in the internal fluid distributor.
- the inner dispenser housing portion may be of standard or substantially standard type, suitable for several machines, while it is the internal fluid distributor and its displacement selector that would be specifically designed for a given machine.
- the displacement selector comprises a spool movable in a bore of the internal fluid distributor, and the first, second and third enclosures respectively comprise first, second and third grooves of this bore.
- the safety valve is disposed in a housing portion of the internal distributor.
- the safety valve is a very simple valve and of modest dimensions, and it can therefore be easily integrated with a standard or almost standard part of the internal distributor housing.
- the hydraulic machine represented on the figure 1 is of the fixed casing and rotary cylinder block type. However, it is understood that the invention could also be applied to a hydraulic machine of the type with rotating housing and fixed cylinder block. In the example shown, the machine, motor or pump, is of the radial piston type.
- This machine comprises a fixed housing in three parts, 2A, 2B and 2C, assembled by 2D screws.
- a corrugated reaction cam 4 is formed in the part 2B of the housing.
- the machine comprises a cylinder block 6 which is mounted in relative rotation about an axis 10 with respect to the cam 4 and which comprises a plurality of radial cylinders 12, which can be supplied with fluid under pressure and inside. of which are slidably mounted radial pistons 14.
- the cylinder block 6 rotates a shaft 5 which cooperates with grooves 7.
- This shaft carries an outlet flange 9.
- the machine further comprises an internal fluid distributor 16 which is integral with the housing with respect to the rotation about the axis 10. In other words, the internal distributor and the cam do not rotate relative to each other. to the other.
- the internal distributor 16 is housed inside the crankcase portion 2C, which is also referred to as a "distribution cover". This portion 2C may be of a block having a bell-shaped shape, or be closed at its axial end opposite the cylinder block, by an attached plate.
- the internal distributor 16 has a radial distribution face 16A into which delivery ducts, such as the ducts S1G1 and S12G2, open.
- the internal distributor 16 also has an outer axial face 16B which has a first main groove 18 and a second main groove 20, which serve respectively to feed and exhaust the fluid or vice versa. It will be considered in the following that, in the preferred direction of operation of the machine, the groove 18 is a feed groove and the groove 20 is an exhaust groove.
- the axial face internal 2C 'of the distribution cover 2C which cooperates with the aforementioned face 16B, has main grooves 18', 20 'respectively opposite the grooves 18 and 20. These grooves 18' and 20 'communicate with the main supply lines or exhaust, respectively 1 and 2, which are drilled in the wall of the distribution cover 2C.
- the machine comprises a displacement selector 21 comprising an axial bore 22 made in the internal distributor 16. This axial bore is in species centered on the axis 10.
- the displacement selector also comprises a main spool 24 which is axially movable in the bore 22 and a secondary slide 24 'which comprises an internal piston 25 disposed inside the main spool 24 and an outer skirt 26, integral with the piston and forming a return around the end 24A of the main spool 24.
- the displacement selector 21 is hydraulically controlled and comprises a selection control chamber 28 connected to a displacement control duct 30 which is shown in phantom on the Figures 2 to 4 .
- this displacement control duct 30 is formed by a bore of the internal distributor 16 which connects the chamber 28, formed at the end 22A of the bore 22 opposite the cylinder block, to a buffer groove 32 formed on the internal axial periphery 2C 'of the distribution cover, this groove 32 being connected to a pilot bore 3 of this distribution cover.
- the control chamber 28 is closed, in this case by a cover 34 retained at the end 22A of the bore, for example by a circlip or any other means.
- the bore 22 passes axially through the internal distributor 16 from one side to the other and the bottom wall of the chamber 28 is therefore formed by the attached cover 34. It could of course be understood that the bore is not through and that the bottom wall of the control chamber is formed by a solid wall portion of the inner manifold 16.
- This spring 26 is supported, on the one hand, on a shoulder of the skirt 26 or on the piston 25 and, on the other hand, on a bottom cup 38 located at the end 22B of the bore. The spring tends to permanently push the skirt 26 in the axial direction G indicated on the figure 2 .
- the skirt 26 is integral with the piston 25, via an inner flange 26A that has this skirt, and which is secured to the outer periphery of the piston 25, for example by a means such as a circlip.
- the spring 36 thus tends constantly to move the assembly of the secondary slide 24 'formed by the skirt 26 and the piston 25 in the direction G. Furthermore, this assembly is mounted to slide axially relative to the slide 24, the piston 25 being axially movable inside this drawer and the skirt 26 surrounding the end 24A of this drawer.
- the head 25A of the piston 25 opposite the skirt 26 forms a radially projecting flange adapted to cooperate with a shoulder 24B of the slide 24 to, when the piston 25 is moved in the direction F, also cause a displacement of the drawer 24 in the same direction F by the abutment of the collar against this shoulder 24B.
- the secondary slide 24 'formed by the piston 25 and the skirt 26 also has a stop adapted to abut with the end 24A of the main spool 24 for, when the secondary slide 24' is moved in the direction G, abut against this end 24A and thus also move the main spool 24 in the direction G.
- the aforementioned abutment is formed by the face of the flange 26A of the skirt 26 which is opposite the spring 36.
- the main spool 24 has a bore 27 which communicates the outer periphery of this spool 24 with the space formed between the shoulder 24B of its inner periphery 24 and the head 25A of the piston 25.
- the bore 22 has three grooves, namely a first groove 40 connected to the main groove 18 by a bore 41, a second groove 42 connected to the groove 20 by a bore 43, and a third groove 44 which, in this case , is located between the grooves 40 and 42.
- These first, second and third grooves respectively form the first, second and third speakers within the meaning of this presentation.
- the different distribution ducts are respectively connected to these grooves.
- the conduits of distribution have two sets of distribution ducts each having a first and a second group of distribution ducts.
- the distribution ducts of the first group of distribution ducts of the first series like the duct S1G1, are connected to the first groove 40.
- the distribution ducts of the second groups of distribution ducts of the first and second series are connected to the second groove 42.
- the distribution ducts of the first group of distribution ducts of the second series like the duct S2G1, only primed on the Figures 2 to 4 , are connected to the third groove 44.
- the two sets of distribution ducts each correspond to a sub-machine.
- a sub-machine corresponding to one series is active when the first group of ducts of the series and the second group of ducts of the series are set to two different pressures, respectively to the supply and to the exhaust or vice versa.
- the machine is in large displacement, the two series being active.
- the first groove 40 and the third groove 44 are interconnected by the connecting groove 23 of the slide 24 and are thus both connected to the main groove 18, itself connected to the main pipe 1, for example supply, while the second groove 42 of the bore is isolated from the first and third groove and is connected to the main groove 20, for example connected to the exhaust.
- the first group of conduits of the first series is connected to the main pipe 1 while the second group of conduits of the first series is connected to the main pipe 2, so that the sub-machine corresponding to this first series is active.
- the first group of conduits of the first series is also connected to the main pipe 1 while the second group of conduits of the second series is also connected to the main pipe 2, so that the second sub-machine corresponding at the second series is also active.
- the configuration represented on the figure 3 is a small displacement configuration. Indeed, in this configuration, the fluid supply of the chamber 28 has pushed the piston 25 into the F direction and this piston has driven the slide 24 in the same direction F until the abutment of its end flange 24C against a shoulder located at the end 22A of the bore.
- the second and third grooves 42 and 44 of the bore 22 communicate with each other by the connecting groove 23 of the slide 24, while the first groove 40 is isolated from the grooves 42 and 44.
- the first grooves and second groups of distribution ducts of the first series remain respectively connected to the main pipe 1 and the main pipe 2.
- the sub-machine corresponding to the first series of distribution ducts is therefore active.
- the two groups of distribution ducts of the second series are connected to the main pipe 2, by the connection of the grooves 42 and 44, so that the second sub-machine corresponding to the second series is inactive.
- the main pipe 2 is an exhaust pipe
- the main spool 24 and the secondary spool 24 'formed by the piston 25 and the skirt 26 are in the position shown on the figure 3 .
- the conduits of the first group of distribution ducts of the second S2G1 series, which are connected to the enclosure 44, are isolated from other distribution channels.
- This isolation of the groove 44 or, if the secondary slide 24 'is only partially displaced in the direction G, the restriction of the connection between the grooves 42 and 44, is in principle to avoid putting the groove 44 too much high pressure resistant and to limit the braking torque delivered during the mode of operation "engine brake", as set out in particular in the document WO 2011/048327 .
- this situation is prolonged, insofar as the fluid discharged into the distribution ducts connected to this groove 44 by the pistons of the machine can not escape, the pressure in these ducts and in this groove 44 can become very high principle.
- the configuration represented on the figure 4 may also occur if, during a control of passage of the large displacement configuration represented on the figures 1 and 2 to the small-displacement configuration shown on the figure 3 , the secondary slide 24 'formed by the piston 25 and the skirt 26 is locked relative to the main spool 24 without being able to move relative to it in the direction of the arrow F as desired.
- the drawers 24 and 24 ' move from the position shown on the figure 2 to that of the figure 4 , so that the third groove 44 and the distribution ducts of the first group of the second series which are connected to it can be subjected to very high pressures.
- a safety valve 50 To prevent this pressure from damaging the machine, it includes a safety valve 50.
- this safety valve 50 comprises a bore 52 formed in the distribution cover 2C and a slide 54 movable in this bore.
- the bore 52 is in this case made transversely to the axis 10.
- the safety valve comprises a first channel 56 connected to the main pipe 2 and a second channel 58 connected to the third groove 44 of the bore 22 the displacement selector.
- this groove 44 is connected to the outer axial face 16B of the internal distributor 16 by a bore 44 'of this distributor.
- This bore 44 ' opens into an enclosure 44 "delimited by two seals 17 between the outer face 16B and the inner face 2C' of the dispensing cover.
- the bore 44 ' is shown in its entirety for the sake of clarity of the drawing and explanations which However, it is understood that it is in fact not secant with the bore 43, these two holes being for example in different planes.
- This enclosure 44 “comprises a shoulder 17 'which forms a thrust surface and balancing for, under the effect of the pressure in the chamber 44 ", contribute to pushing the radial face 16A of the internal distributor 16 against the communication face 6A (see figure 1 ) of the cylinder block 6 in which the cylinder ducts 13 which communicate with the distribution ducts during the relative rotation of the cylinder block and the cam open.
- grooves 18 and 20 may also have thrust and balance surfaces, and that the machine may comprise additional thrust and balance means of the internal distributor 16, such as the springs 15 arranged between the bottom of the distribution cover 2C and the face facing the internal distributor 16.
- the bore 52 of the safety valve communicates with the enclosure 44 "by a bore 58, which forms the second channel of the safety valve 50.
- the first channel 56 of this valve comprises a bore which communicates with the main pipe 2.
- this communication is performed via a check valve 60 arranged in a bore 62 connected to the main pipe 2.
- This bore 62 is in this case made transversely to the axis 10 and closed by a plug 64 on the external face of the distribution cover 2 C.
- the non-return valve is, in a manner known per se, screwed to the end of the bore 62 opposite the plug 64, and comprises a movable closure member such as a ball 66 continuously recalled by a spring 68 against a seat 70.
- the holes 56 and 58 forming the first and second channels of the safety valve 50 are formed of the closed axial holes, on the side opposite the bore 52, by plugs 56 'and 58' respectively.
- the safety valve 50 is hydraulically controlled and comprises a safety control chamber 72 connected to a safety piloting duct 74 to urge the displacement of the drawer 54 in the direction I indicated on the figure 5 when the chamber 72 is supplied with fluid.
- the safety valve 50 also comprises a reverse safety control, to urge the drawer to move in the opposite direction J to the direction I.
- this reverse safety control comprises a spring 76 disposed at the end of the bore 52 opposed to the safety control chamber 72. This end is in this case closed by a plug 78, the spring 76 bearing between the plug 78 and a shoulder of the slide 54.
- the figure 5 shows the safety valve in a first configuration, in which the first and second channels 56 and 58 are isolated from each other. This first configuration is obtained by the return effect of the spring 76, the safety control chamber 72 then not being supplied with fluid, in particular when the displacement selector 21 is itself controlled in its large displacement configuration. .
- the chamber 72 is supplied with fluid, and it can be seen that the slide 54 has moved in the direction I against the return force of the spring 76, so as to communicate the tracks 56 and 58 by a groove 54 'of the drawer 54.
- the channels 56 and 58 are isolated, so that the safety valve does not interfere with the communication between the groove 44 of the displacement selector and the other grooves of this selector.
- This first configuration is in particular obtained when the displacement selector is controlled towards its large displacement configuration represented on the figure 2 , in which the grooves 40 and 44 communicate with each other while the groove 42 is isolated.
- the safety valve is controlled in its second configuration shown on the figure 6 when the displacement selector is commanded to its small-capacity configuration shown on the figure 3 .
- this second configuration the communication between the channels 56 and 58 communicates the third groove 44 of the displacement selector with the main pipe 2, via the non-return valve 60. If, while the safety valve is in this second configuration , the pressure in the groove 44 increases because of the positioning of the displacement selector in the configuration shown in the figure 4 this increase in pressure in the groove 44 and thus in the channels 56 and 58 opens the non-return valve 50 to establish a communication between the groove 44 and the second main pipe 2. In this case, the excess pressure is avoided since the fluid can be put under the pressure of the main pipe 2.
- the safety piloting duct 74 is connected to the pilot bore 30 described with reference to the figure 2 . As indicated then, this bore 30 serves to supply the displacement control pipe 30 of the displacement selector via the buffer groove 32. In fact, the pilot lines 30 and 74 could simply be both connected to the buffer groove 32, this groove being moreover supplied by pilot bore 3.
- the safety valve 50 comprises a drainage pipe 80, which is located on the side of the bore 52 opposite the safety control chamber 72 and which is connected to the internal space of the machine housing.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the operating diagram of the machine with the safety valve 50 which has just been described.
- FIG. 2 shows the two sub-machines SM1 and SM2 respectively corresponding to the two series of distribution lines, the displacement selector 21 and the safety valve 50.

Description
Le présent exposé concerne une machine hydraulique ayant au moins deux cylindrées actives de fonctionnement et apte à être reliée à deux conduites principales, respectivement d'alimentation et d'échappement, la machine comprenant :
- deux séries de conduits de distribution ayant chacune un premier et un deuxième groupe de conduits de distribution, le premier groupe de conduits de distribution de la première série étant relié à une première enceinte, les deuxièmes groupes de conduits de distribution des première et deuxième série étant reliés à une deuxième enceinte, et le premier groupe de conduits de distribution de la deuxième série étant relié à une troisième enceinte,
- un sélecteur de cylindrée apte à être commandé pour adopter une configuration de grande cylindrée dans laquelle la deuxième enceinte est reliée à l'une des conduites principales, tandis que la première et la troisième enceinte sont reliées à l'autre conduite principale, et une configuration de petite cylindrée dans laquelle la deuxième et la troisième enceinte sont reliées à l'une des conduites principales, tandis que la première enceinte est reliée à l'autre conduite principale.
- two series of distribution ducts each having a first and a second group of distribution ducts, the first group of distribution ducts of the first series being connected to a first chamber, the second groups of distribution ducts of the first and second series being connected to a second enclosure, and the first group of distribution ducts of the second series being connected to a third enclosure,
- a controllable displacement selector for adopting a large displacement configuration in which the second chamber is connected to one of the main lines, while the first and third chambers are connected to the other main line, and a configuration small displacement in which the second and the third chamber are connected to one of the main pipes, while the first chamber is connected to the other main pipe.
Les première et deuxième séries de conduits de distribution définissent respectivement une première et une deuxième sous-machine. En grande cylindrée, les deux sous-machines sont actives car leurs deux groupes de conduits de distribution respectifs sont respectivement reliés à l'alimentation et à l'échappement. En petite cylindrée, seule la première sous-machine est active, les deux groupes de conduits de distribution de la deuxième série, c'est-à -dire de la deuxième sous-machine étant reliés à la même conduite principale.The first and second series of distribution ducts respectively define a first and a second sub-machine. In large displacement, the two sub-machines are active because their two groups of respective distribution ducts are respectively connected to the supply and to the exhaust. In small displacement, only the first sub-machine is active, the two groups of distribution ducts of the second series, that is to say of the second sub-machine being connected to the same main pipe.
Une machine hydraulique de ce type, en l'espèce un moteur hydraulique, est connue par le document
Pour changer la cylindrée du moteur, le sélecteur de cylindrée doit être commandé pour passer de l'une à l'autre des configurations précitées. En général, le sélecteur de cylindrée comprend un tiroir qui se déplace entre une première position correspondant à la configuration de grande cylindrée, dans laquelle il relie entre elles les première et troisième enceintes en les isolant de la deuxième enceinte, et une deuxième position qui correspond à la configuration de petite cylindrée, dans laquelle il relie entre elles les deuxième et troisième enceintes en les isolant de la première enceinte. Ainsi, selon la configuration du sélecteur de cylindrée, c'est-à -dire en particulier selon la position du tiroir de ce sélecteur, la troisième enceinte est reliée soit avec la première enceinte, soit avec la deuxième enceinte. Il peut toutefois arriver que, lors de ce passage d'une configuration à l'autre, le sélecteur de cylindrée se bloque de sorte que la troisième enceinte serait alors isolée aussi bien de la première que de la deuxième enceinte. Si la machine fonctionne dans une telle situation de blocage, la pression dans la troisième enceinte risque de s'élever, sous l'effet du fluide refoulé dans cette enceinte qui ne peut plus s'en échapper du fait de l'isolement de cette enceinte.To change the displacement of the engine, the displacement selector must be controlled to switch from one to the other of the aforementioned configurations. In general, the displacement selector comprises a slide that moves between a first position corresponding to the large displacement configuration, in which it connects the first and third speakers together by isolating them from the second chamber, and a second position which corresponds to in the configuration of small displacement, in which it connects the second and third speakers together isolating them from the first speaker. Thus, according to the configuration of the displacement selector, that is to say in particular according to the position of the drawer of this selector, the third enclosure is connected either with the first enclosure or with the second enclosure. However, it may happen that, during this transition from one configuration to another, the displacement selector is blocked so that the third enclosure would then be isolated from both the first and the second enclosure. If the machine operates in such a blocking situation, the pressure in the third chamber may rise, under the effect of the fluid discharged into this chamber which can not escape from it because of the isolation of this enclosure .
Par ailleurs, on a indiqué que, dans la configuration de petite cylindrée, les deuxième et troisième enceintes sont reliées à l'une des conduites principales, tandis que la première enceinte est reliée à l'autre des conduites principales. Ainsi, la machine hydraulique présente un sens de fonctionnement préférentiel en petite cylindrée, puisque tous les conduits de distribution de la deuxième série sont alors reliés à la même conduite principale par la liaison entre les deuxième et troisième enceintes. Si cette machine est un moteur, ce sens préférentiel en petite cylindrée correspond à celui dans lequel la conduite principale à laquelle est reliée la première enceinte en configuration de petite cylindrée est une conduite principale d'alimentation. En effet, dans ce cas, les conduits de distribution de la deuxième série sont tous reliés à la conduite d'échappement par la liaison entre les deuxième et troisième enceintes. En revanche, dans le sens inverse, les conduits de distribution de la deuxième série sont tous reliés à l'alimentation en configuration de petite cylindrée de sorte que le sous-moteur correspondant à cette deuxième série de conduits de distribution est inactivé puisque tous ses conduits de distribution sont mis à la même pression, mais il peut exercer un couple résistant sur le moteur. De plus, selon la configuration du sélecteur de cylindrée, la pression élevée dans les deuxième et troisième enceintes peut provoquer un déplacement partiel de ce sélecteur allant jusqu'à isoler la troisième enceinte des première et deuxième enceintes, et pouvant ainsi conduire à une augmentation de pression importante dans cette troisième enceinte puisque le fluide qui y est refoulé ne peut plus s'en échapper.Furthermore, it has been indicated that, in the small-displacement configuration, the second and third enclosures are connected to one of the main pipes, while the first enclosure is connected to the other of the main pipes. Thus, the hydraulic machine has a preferred operating direction in small displacement, since all the distribution ducts of the second series are then connected to the same main pipe by the connection between the second and third speakers. If this machine is a motor, this preferred direction in small displacement corresponds to that in which the main pipe to which is connected the first enclosure in a small displacement configuration is a main supply line. Indeed, in this case, the distribution ducts of the second series are all connected to the exhaust pipe by the connection between the second and third speakers. On the other hand, in the opposite direction, the distribution ducts of the second series are all connected to the feed in small displacement configuration so that the sub-engine corresponding to this second series of distribution ducts is inactivated since all its ducts dispensers are put at the same pressure, but it can exert a resistant torque on the engine. In addition, depending on the configuration of the displacement selector, the high pressure in the second and third speakers can cause a partial displacement of the selector up to isolate the third speaker of the first and second speakers, and can thus lead to an increase in significant pressure in this third chamber since the fluid that is repressed can not escape.
Pour éviter que l'augmentation de la pression dans la troisième enceinte ne provoque une dégradation de la machine, on peut choisir de relier un limiteur de pression à cette troisième enceinte. De manière connue en soi, un limiteur de pression est une valve tarée à une pression de déclenchement donnée, à partir de laquelle elle s'ouvre pour relier l'enceinte qu'elle protège à une évacuation, en particulier à un réservoir sans surpression.To prevent the increase of the pressure in the third enclosure from causing degradation of the machine, it is possible to choose to connect a pressure limiter to this third enclosure. In a manner known per se, a pressure limiter is a valve calibrated at a given trigger pressure, from which it opens to connect the enclosure it protects to an evacuation, in particular to a tank without overpressure.
Cependant, les limiteurs de pression sont des valves coûteuses et relativement encombrantes. De plus, plus la machine est conçue pour supporter des pressions et des débits élevés, plus le coût et l'encombrement des limiteurs de pression servant à la protéger vis-vis des surpressions deviennent importants.However, pressure limiters are expensive and relatively bulky valves. In addition, the more the machine is designed to withstand high pressures and flow rates, the greater the cost and the size of the pressure relief devices used to protect it against overpressure become important.
Ainsi, selon un premier aspect, l'invention vise à améliorer l'état de la technique en évitant autant que possible d'endommager la machine sous l'effet de surpressions en particulier dans la troisième enceinte, à l'aide d'une solution qui soit sensiblement exempte des inconvénients précités.Thus, according to a first aspect, the invention aims to improve the state of the art by avoiding as much as possible to damage the machine under the effect of overpressure, particularly in the third enclosure, with the aid of a solution which is substantially free from the aforementioned drawbacks.
Ainsi, selon un aspect, l'invention une machine hydraulique ayant au moins deux cylindrées actives de fonctionnement et apte à être reliée à deux conduites principales, respectivement d'alimentation et d'échappement,
la machine comprenant:
- deux séries de conduits de distribution ayant chacune un premier et un deuxième groupe de conduits de distribution, le premier groupe de conduits de distribution de la première série étant relié à une première enceinte, les deuxième groupes de conduits de distribution des première et deuxième séries étant reliés à une deuxième enceinte, et le premier groupe de conduits de distribution de la deuxième série étant relié à une troisième enceinte,
- un sélecteur de cylindrée apte à être commandé pour adopter une configuration de grande cylindrée dans laquelle la deuxième enceinte est reliée à l'une des conduites principales, tandis que la première et la troisième enceinte sont reliées à l'autre conduite principale, et une configuration de petite cylindrée dans laquelle la deuxième et la troisième enceinte sont reliées à ladite une des conduites principales, tandis que la première enceinte est reliée à ladite autre conduite principale ;
the machine comprising:
- two series of distribution ducts each having a first and a second group of distribution ducts, the first group of distribution ducts of the first series being connected to a first chamber, the second groups of distribution ducts of the first and second series being connected to a second enclosure, and the first group of distribution ducts of the second series being connected to a third enclosure,
- a controllable displacement selector for adopting a large displacement configuration in which the second chamber is connected to one of the main lines, while the first and third chambers are connected to the other main line, and a configuration small displacement in which the second and the third chamber are connected to said one of the main lines, while the first chamber is connected to said other main line;
Ainsi, la valve de sécurité est simplement une valve pouvant être commandée entre les première et deuxième configurations précitées, sans devoir être tarée à une pression particulière. Ainsi, cette valve est à la fois nettement moins coûteuse et nettement moins encombrante qu'un limiteur de pression.Thus, the safety valve is simply a valve that can be controlled between the first and second configurations above, without having to be tared at a particular pressure. Thus, this valve is both significantly less expensive and significantly less bulky than a pressure limiter.
Cependant, la valve de sécurité évite les surpressions dangereuses qui peuvent se produire lorsque le sélecteur de cylindrée est commandé vers la configuration de petite cylindrée mais que l'on se trouve dans une situation particulière dans laquelle la machine fonctionne en sens non préférentiel en petite cylindrée, ou dans laquelle, bien que fonctionnant en sens préférentiel en petite cylindrée, la pression d'alimentation devient supérieure à la pression d'échappement (en particulier par un phénomène de freinage hydrodynamique, comme lorsque la machine est un moteur d'entrainement d'un véhicule qui circule en marche avant et en descente), ou encore dans laquelle le sélecteur se bloque partiellement lors du passage de la grande à la petite cylindrée. En effet, dès lors que le sélecteur de cylindrée est commandé vers sa configuration de petite cylindrée, la valve de sécurité relie la troisième enceinte à la conduite principale à laquelle est reliée sa première voie, ce qui, même dans les situations particulières précitées, évite l'isolement de cette troisième enceinte et évite donc les surpressions excessives dans cette dernière.However, the safety valve avoids dangerous overpressures that can occur when the displacement selector is controlled to the small displacement configuration but that we are in a particular situation in which the machine operates in non-preferential direction in small displacement , or in which, although operating in a preferred direction in small displacement, the feed pressure becomes greater than the exhaust pressure (in particular by a hydrodynamic braking phenomenon, as when the machine is a driving motor of a vehicle that travels forward and downhill), or in which the selector is partially blocked during the passage from large to small displacement. Indeed, as soon as the displacement selector is controlled towards its small displacement configuration, the safety valve connects the third enclosure to the main pipe to which its first track is connected, which, even in the particular situations mentioned above, avoids the isolation of this third enclosure and therefore avoids excessive overpressure in the latter.
Optionnellement, la valve de sécurité comprend en outre une troisième voie reliée à ladite autre conduite principale et les deuxième et troisième voies sont reliées dans la première configuration de ladite valve de sécurité.Optionally, the safety valve further comprises a third channel connected to said other main line and the second and third channels are connected in the first configuration of said safety valve.
Ainsi, la deuxième voie, et donc la troisième enceinte, est reliée à l'une ou à l'autre des conduites principales selon que le sélecteur de cylindrée est commandé vers sa configuration de petite cylindrée ou vers sa configuration de grande cylindrée. Ainsi, si en plus des situations évoquées ci-dessus, le sélecteur de cylindrée se bloque lorsqu'il est commandé vers sa configuration de grande cylindrée à partir de sa configuration de petite cylindrée, la troisième enceinte n'est pas isolée car elle est reliée à ladite autre conduite principale. De plus, ceci est cohérent avec le fait que, en grande cylindrée, la troisième enceinte doit de toute façon être reliée à ladite autre conduite principale par le sélecteur de cylindrée, si ce dernier fonctionne normalement.Thus, the second channel, and therefore the third speaker, is connected to one or the other of the main ducts depending on whether the selector displacement is controlled towards its small displacement configuration or towards its large displacement configuration. Thus, if in addition to the situations mentioned above, the displacement selector is blocked when it is controlled towards its large displacement configuration from its small displacement configuration, the third enclosure is not isolated because it is connected to said other main pipe. In addition, this is consistent with the fact that, in large displacement, the third chamber must anyway be connected to said other main line by the displacement selector, if the latter operates normally.
Optionnellement, ladite une des conduites principales à laquelle est reliée la première voie de la valve de sécurité est la conduite principale qui sert à l'échappement en sens préférentiel de fonctionnement de la machine.Optionally, said one of the main lines to which is connected the first channel of the safety valve is the main pipe used for the exhaust in the preferred direction of operation of the machine.
Optionnellement, dans la deuxième configuration de la valve de sécurité, la première et la deuxième voie sont reliées à ladite une des conduites principales par un clapet anti-retour autorisant seulement la circulation de fluide dans le sens allant de la deuxième voie vers la première voie.Optionally, in the second configuration of the safety valve, the first and second channels are connected to said one of the main lines by a non-return valve allowing only the flow of fluid in the direction from the second way to the first way .
Dans ce cas, c'est lorsque la pression à la deuxième voie, c'est-à -dire dans la troisième enceinte, devient supérieure à la pression à la première voie, c'est-à -dire dans ladite une des conduites principales, que le fluide s'écoule à partir de la troisième enceinte. Ainsi, lorsque ladite une conduite principale sert à l'alimentation (par exemple, en petite cylindrée et en sens non préférentiel de fonctionnement), la liaison entre la première et la deuxième voie de la valve de sécurité ne provoque pas de baisse de pression d'alimentation.In this case, it is when the pressure at the second channel, that is to say in the third enclosure, becomes greater than the pressure at the first channel, that is to say in said one of the main pipes , that the fluid flows from the third enclosure. Thus, when said main pipe is used for the supply (for example, in small displacement and non-preferential direction of operation), the connection between the first and the second channel of the safety valve does not cause a drop in pressure. 'food.
Par exemple, le clapet anti-retour peut être situé entre la première voie et ladite une des conduites principales, auquel cas la première voie est en permanence reliée à ladite une des conduites principales par ce clapet.For example, the check valve may be located between the first channel and said one of the main lines, in which case the first channel is permanently connected to said one of the main lines by this valve.
Optionnellement, le sélecteur de cylindrée est commandé hydrauliquement et comprend une chambre de commande de sélection reliée à un conduit de pilotage de cylindrée pour solliciter le passage entre l'une des configurations de grande cylindrée et de petite cylindrée, et l'autre desdites configurations, ainsi qu'une commande de cylindrée inverse, apte à solliciter le passage de ladite autre des configurations de grande cylindrée et de petite cylindrée à ladite une desdites configurations.Optionally, the displacement selector is hydraulically controlled and comprises a selection control chamber connected to a displacement control duct for soliciting passage between one of the large displacement and small displacement configurations, and the other of said configurations, and a reverse displacement control, able to solicit the passage of said other configurations of large displacement and small displacement at said one of said configurations.
La commande de cylindrée inverse peut comprendre une autre chambre de commande hydraulique, reliée à un autre conduit de pilotage, ou bien un autre moyen, en particulier un moyen de rappel, tel qu'un ressort d'effet antagoniste à celui de l'alimentation de la chambre de commande.The reverse displacement control may comprise another hydraulic control chamber, connected to another control duct, or other means, in particular a return means, such as a spring of antagonistic effect to that of the power supply. from the control room.
Optionnellement, la valve de sécurité est commandée hydrauliquement et comprend une chambre de commande de sécurité reliée à un conduit de pilotage de sécurité pour solliciter le passage de l'une des première et deuxième configurations à l'autre des première et deuxième configurations, ainsi qu'une commande de sécurité inverse pour solliciter le passage de ladite autre des première et deuxième configurations à ladite une des première et deuxième configurations.Optionally, the safety valve is hydraulically controlled and comprises a safety control chamber connected to a safety pilot conduit for urging the passage of one of the first and second configurations to the other of the first and second configurations, as well as an inverse safety command for urging the passage of said other of the first and second configurations to said one of the first and second configurations.
La commande de sécurité inverse peut comprendre une autre chambre de commande de sécurité, reliée à un autre conduit de pilotage pour avoir un effet antagoniste à celui de la chambre de commande de sécurité précitée, ou bien un moyen de rappel tel qu'un ressort, d'effet antagoniste à celui de l'alimentation en fluide de la chambre de commande de sécurité.The reverse safety control may comprise another safety control chamber, connected to another control duct to have an effect antagonistic to that of the aforementioned safety control chamber, or a return means such as a spring, of antagonistic effect to that of the fluid supply of the safety control chamber.
Optionnellement, le conduit de pilotage de cylindrée et le conduit de pilotage de sécurité sont reliés entre eux.Optionally, the cubic capacity control duct and the safety pilot duct are interconnected.
Ainsi, le pilotage du sélecteur de cylindrée et celui de la valve de sécurité s'effectuent naturellement dans les mêmes conditions, de manière synchronisée.Thus, the control of the displacement selector and that of the safety valve are naturally carried out under the same conditions, in a synchronized manner.
Optionnellement, la machine comprend un distributeur interne de fluide comprenant les deux séries de conduits de distribution.Optionally, the machine comprises an internal fluid distributor comprising the two series of distribution ducts.
Optionnellement, le sélecteur de cylindrée est disposé dans le distributeur interne de fluide.Optionally, the displacement selector is disposed in the internal fluid distributor.
Ainsi, la partie de carter du distributeur interne peut être de type standard ou pratiquement standard, adapté pour plusieurs machines, tandis que c'est le distributeur interne de fluide et son sélecteur de cylindrée qui seraient spécifiquement conçus pour une machine donnée.Thus, the inner dispenser housing portion may be of standard or substantially standard type, suitable for several machines, while it is the internal fluid distributor and its displacement selector that would be specifically designed for a given machine.
Optionnellement, le sélecteur de cylindrée comprend un tiroir mobile dans un alésage du distributeur interne de fluide, et les première, deuxième et troisième enceintes comprennent respectivement une première, une deuxième et une troisième gorge de cet alésage.Optionally, the displacement selector comprises a spool movable in a bore of the internal fluid distributor, and the first, second and third enclosures respectively comprise first, second and third grooves of this bore.
Optionnellement, la valve de sécurité est disposée dans une partie de carter du distributeur interne.Optionally, the safety valve is disposed in a housing portion of the internal distributor.
Comme indiqué précédemment, la valve de sécurité est une valve très simple et de dimensions modestes, et elle peut donc être facilement intégrée à une partie standard ou quasiment standard de carter du distributeur interne.As indicated above, the safety valve is a very simple valve and of modest dimensions, and it can therefore be easily integrated with a standard or almost standard part of the internal distributor housing.

La machine hydraulique représentée sur la
Cette machine comprend un carter fixe en trois parties, 2A, 2B et 2C, assemblées par des vis 2D. Une came de réaction ondulée 4 est réalisée dans la partie 2B du carter. La machine comprend un bloc-cylindres 6 qui est monté en rotation relative autour d'un axe 10 par rapport à la came 4 et qui comporte une pluralité de cylindres radiaux 12, susceptibles d'être alimentés en fluide sous pression et à l'intérieur desquels sont montés coulissants des pistons radiaux 14. En l'espèce, le bloc-cylindres 6 entraîne en rotation un arbre 5 qui coopère avec des cannelures 7. Cet arbre porte une bride de sortie 9.This machine comprises a fixed housing in three parts, 2A, 2B and 2C, assembled by 2D screws. A
La machine comprend encore un distributeur interne de fluide 16 qui est solidaire du carter vis-à -vis de la rotation autour de l'axe 10. En d'autres termes, le distributeur interne et la came ne tournent pas l'un par rapport à l'autre. Le distributeur interne 16 est logé à l'intérieur de la partie 2C de carter, qui est également désignée par "couvercle de distribution". Cette partie 2C peut être d'un bloc ayant une forme en cloche, ou être fermée à son extrémité axiale opposée au bloc-cylindres, par une plaque rapportée.The machine further comprises an
En se reportant également à la
La machine comprend un sélecteur de cylindrée 21 comprenant un alésage axial 22 réalisé dans le distributeur interne 16. Cet alésage axial est en espèce centré sur l'axe 10. Le sélecteur de cylindrée comporte également un tiroir principal 24 qui est axialement mobile dans l'alésage 22 et un tiroir secondaire 24' qui comprend un piston interne 25 disposé à l'intérieur du tiroir principal 24 et une jupe externe 26, solidaire du piston et formant un retour autour de l'extrémité 24A du tiroir principal 24.The machine comprises a
Le sélecteur du cylindrée 21 est commandé hydrauliquement et comprend une chambre de commande de sélection 28 reliée à un conduit de pilotage de cylindrée 30 qui est représenté en traits interrompus sur les
On comprend que l'alimentation en fluide de la chambre de commande de sélection 28 tend à déplacer les tiroirs 24 et 24' du sélecteur de cylindrée dans le sens axial F indiqué sur la
Du côté opposé de l'alésage 22, c'est-à -dire à son extrémité 22B située vers le bloc-cylindres, est disposé un ressort de rappel 36 d'effet antagoniste à celui du remplissage de fluide de la chambre 28. Ce ressort 26 prend appui, d'une part, sur un épaulement de la jupe 26 ou sur le piston 25 et, d'autre part, sur une coupelle de fond 38 située à l'extrémité 22B de l'alésage. Le ressort tend à repousser en permanence la jupe 26 dans le sens axial G indiqué sur la
La jupe 26 est solidaire du piston 25, via une collerette interne 26A que présente cette jupe, et qui est solidarisée à la périphérie externe du piston 25, par exemple par un moyen tel qu'un circlips. Le ressort 36 tend donc en permanence à déplacer l'ensemble du tiroir secondaire 24' formé par la jupe 26 et le piston 25 dans le sens G. Par ailleurs, cet ensemble est monté à coulissement axial par rapport au tiroir 24, le piston 25 étant axialement mobile à l'intérieur de ce tiroir et la jupe 26 entourant l'extrémité 24A de ce tiroir.The
Cependant, ce débattement est limité par des butées. En effet, la tête 25A du piston 25 opposée à la jupe 26 forme une collerette en saillie radiale apte à coopérer avec un épaulement 24B du tiroir 24 pour, lorsque le piston 25 est déplacé dans le sens F, provoquer également un déplacement du tiroir 24 dans le même sens F par la venue en butée de la collerette contre cet épaulement 24B.However, this travel is limited by stops. Indeed, the
A l'opposé, le tiroir secondaire 24' formé par le piston 25 et la jupe 26 présente également une butée apte à venir en butée avec l'extrémité 24A du tiroir principal 24 pour, lorsque le tiroir secondaire 24' est déplacé dans le sens G, venir en butée contre cette extrémité 24A et déplacer ainsi également le tiroir principal 24 dans le sens G. En l'espèce, la butée précitée est formée par la face de la collerette 26A de la jupe 26 qui est opposée au ressort 36.In contrast, the secondary slide 24 'formed by the
Enfin, le tiroir principal 24 présente un perçage 27 qui fait communiquer la périphérie externe de ce tiroir 24 avec l'espace formé entre l'épaulement 24B de sa périphérie interne 24 et la tête 25A du piston 25.Finally, the
L'alésage 22 présente trois gorges, à savoir une première gorge 40 reliée à la gorge principale 18 par un perçage 41, une deuxième gorge 42 reliée à la gorge 20 par un perçage 43, et une troisième gorge 44 qui, en l'espèce, est située entre les gorges 40 et 42. Ces première, deuxième et troisième gorges forment respectivement les première, deuxième et troisième enceintes au sens du présent exposé. Les différents conduits de distribution sont respectivement reliés à ces gorges. Ainsi, les conduits de distribution présentent deux séries de conduits de distribution ayant chacune un premier et un deuxième groupes de conduits de distribution. Les conduits de distribution du premier groupe de conduits de distribution de la première série, à l'instar du conduit S1G1, sont reliés à la première gorge 40. Les conduits de distribution des deuxièmes groupes de conduits de distribution des premières et deuxièmes séries, à l'instar du conduit S12G2, sont reliés à la deuxième gorge 42. Enfin, les conduits de distribution du premier groupe de conduits de distribution de la deuxième série, à l'instar du conduit S2G1, seulement amorcé sur les
Ainsi, les deux séries de conduits de distribution correspondent chacune à une sous-machine. Une sous-machine correspondant à une série, est active lorsque le premier groupe de conduits de la série et le deuxième groupe de conduits de la série sont mis à deux pressions différentes, respectivement à l'alimentation et à l'échappement ou inversement.Thus, the two sets of distribution ducts each correspond to a sub-machine. A sub-machine corresponding to one series, is active when the first group of ducts of the series and the second group of ducts of the series are set to two different pressures, respectively to the supply and to the exhaust or vice versa.
Ainsi, dans la configuration illustrée sur les

En l'occurrence, les perçages 56 et 58 formant les première et deuxième voies de la valve de sécurité 50 sont formés des perçages axiaux fermés, du côté opposé à l'alésage 52, par des bouchons respectivement 56' et 58'.In this case, the
En l'espèce, la valve de sécurité 50 est commandée hydrauliquement et comprend une chambre de commande de sécurité 72 reliée à un conduit de pilotage de sécurité 74 pour solliciter le déplacement du tiroir 54 dans le sens I indiqué sur la

En revanche, sur la
Dans la première configuration, les voies 56 et 58 sont isolées, de sorte que la valve de sécurité n'interfère pas avec la communication entre la gorge 44 du sélecteur de cylindrée et des autres gorges de ce sélecteur. Cette première configuration est en particulier obtenue lorsque le sélecteur de cylindrée est commandé vers sa configuration de grande cylindrée représentée sur la

La commande du sélecteur de cylindrée dans sa configuration de petite cylindrée par l'alimentation de la chambre 28 fait en principe passer ce sélecteur de cylindrée dans sa configuration de petite cylindrée C2, dans laquelle seule la gorge 40 est reliée à la conduite principale 1, tandis que les gorges 42 et 44 sont reliées à la conduite principale 2.The control of the displacement selector in its small displacement configuration by the supply of the

Selon ce mode de réalisation, la valve de sécurité 150 comprend trois voies, à savoir une première voie 156 reliée à la conduite principale 2, une deuxième voie 158 reliée à la gorge 44 du sélecteur de cylindrée et une troisième voie 159 reliée à la première conduite principale 1. La liaison entre la voie 158 et la gorge 44 peut être réalisée de manière identique à la liaison entre la voie 56 de la valve de sécurité selon le premier mode de réalisation à cette gorge 44. La liaison de la troisième voie 159 à la première conduite principale 1 peut être directe, via un perçage 159' du couvercle de distribution 2C. La liaison entre la voie 156 et la deuxième conduite principale 2 peut être réalisée via un clapet anti-retour 160 représenté sur la
La valve de sécurité 150 est commandée hydrauliquement et comprend une chambre de commande de sécurité 172 reliée à un conduit de pilotage de sécurité 174, lui-même relié au perçage de pilotage 3. Comme dans le premier mode de réalisation, le conduit de pilotage de sécurité 174 est ainsi relié au conduit de pilotage de cylindrée 30 via la gorge tampon 32. En l'espèce, l'alimentation en fluide de la chambre de commande de sécurité 172 a pour effet de déplacer le tiroir 154 dans le sens I pour le faire passer de sa première position représentée sur la

Lorsque le sélecteur de cylindrée est dans sa configuration de petite cylindrée C2, seule la gorge 40 est reliée à la conduite principale 1, tandis que les gorges 42 et 44 sont reliées à la conduite principale 2.When the displacement selector is in its configuration of small displacement C2, only the
