- the pin 63 and the second inner edge can leave a game to allow an adjustment of the parts during assembly of the assembly 1.
- the switching flap 10 is in a position opening the maximum channels 9 and 1 1.
- the flap 10 reaches the closed position of the channel 1 1 and the metering flap 12 remains in the closed position of the track 2.
- the pin 63 is based on the first inside edge of the cavity.
- the crank 21 remains stationary and the metering flap 12 remains in the closed position of the track 2.
- the actuating wheel 16 can continue to rotate so that a segment 30 in an arc of the interface piece 26 bears against the holding piece 33, and more specifically against the outer surface of the cylindrical portion of said piece 33.
- This holding piece 33 helps to maintain the shutter 10 in one position sealing of the channel 1 1, bearing against an arcuate segment 30 of the interface part 26.
- the rotation of the actuating wheel 16 continues to rotate the lever 24 which continues the movement of the lever 22.
- the pin 63 causes the rotation of the crank 21 and thus of the metering flap 12 which is secured thereto, by exerting a thrust on the first inner edge of the cavity.
- the metering flap 12 is here shown while it has an angular position of about 70 °.
- the rotation of the actuating wheel 16 can continue, always in the same direction, until the metering flap 12 reaches a maximum open position to allow the exhaust gases to pass into the track 2 with a maximum flow.
- the adjustment of the degree of opening of the metering flap 12 is effected by a pivoting of said metering flap 12 controlled by the actuating wheel 16, while the flap shutter 10 remains in a closed position of Lane 1 1.
- the actuating wheel 16 can be rotated in the opposite direction to adjust the open position of the metering flap 12 by reducing the flow of gases in the track 2.
- the maximum open position of the metering flap 12 is reached when the flap 12 reaches an angular position of 75 °. This position is reached when the actuating wheel 16 comes for example abuts on a stop not shown.
- the actuating wheel 16 can also be rotated in the opposite direction to the direction shown by the arrow 23 of FIGS. 6, 8 and 10.
- the switching flap is in the closed position of the channel 1 1, for example as in the position E shown in Figures 10 and 1 1, a rotation of the actuating wheel 16 in the opposite direction to the direction materialized by the arrow 23 rotates the lug 32 and the lever 24.
- the lug thus rotates in the direction allowing it to return to the groove 28.
- the lever 24 causes the movement of the lever 22.
- the first inner edge of the cavity 62 then exerts a push on the counter 63 less than the thrust exerted by the return spring on the metering flap 12.
- the flap 12 is actuated by the return spring 18 to reduce the section of passage of the gases in the track 2.
- the rotation of the actuating wheel 16 can continue in the same direction of rotation so that the metering flap 12 closes the track 2.
- the assembly then arrives in the position C.
- the actuating wheel 16 then continues its rotation in the same direction, the lug 32 enters the groove 28 and causes the rotation of the interface piece 26 and therefore the switching flap 10 which is integral with it, exerting a thrust on one of the two arms 27 bordering the groove 28.
- the pin 63 slides in the cavity 62 since the metering flap 12 is held in the closed position of the track 2 by the return spring 18 and the lever 22 continues its movement.
- the rotation of the actuating wheel 16 can continue in the same direction of rotation so that the metering flap 12 closes the track 2 and the shutter 10 opens the maximum channels 9 and 11.
- the assembly then arrives in the rest position A in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the cavity 62 includes a leaf spring 61, the spring 61 exerting a force on the pin 63 so that the pin is pressed against the first inner edge of the cavity.
- This plating of the pin allows, in addition to the force exerted by the return spring 18 on the flap, to define a single position for the flap, especially when the movement of the lever 22 is such that no effort is exerted by the second inside edge of the cavity on the counter 63.
- the lever 22 is described above very schematically.
- the fluidic control assembly 1 comprises:
- the device 15 for actuating the two members which actuating device 15 comprises an adjusting device 200 arranged to adjust the closed position of the metering member 12 when the valve is in the rest position, namely when this dosing member and the switching member are in the rest position.
- the invention makes it possible to overcome an uncertainty in the closed or closed position of the metering flap 12, which uncertainty is due to manufacturing tolerances that may affect different parts of the fluidic control assembly.
- Improper closing (or clogging) of the dosing device can cause undesirable leaks.
- the invention makes it possible to correctly adjust the closed position of the dosing member.
- the adjusting device 200 comprises the lever 22 having at its two ends two joints 201 and 202, and the adjusting device 200 is arranged to allow the adjustment of the distance between these two joints.
- the hinge 202 is formed using an eccentric member 205 arranged to allow adjustment of the position of the hinge 202, as visible in FIG. 13.
- the lever 22, in the form of a connecting rod, comprises a housing 206 for accommodating the eccentric member 205.
- the eccentric member 205 is formed by a separate piece of the lever 22, and attached to this lever.
- the eccentric member 205 comprises a circular outer periphery 207 and a circular opening 208 eccentric with respect to the center of the outer circular periphery 207.
- the eccentric opening 208 of the eccentric member 205 is arranged to cooperate with a hinge pin 17, as illustrated in FIG.
- the outer periphery 207 circular of the eccentric member 205 marries the housing 206 of the lever 22 which receives the eccentric member 205.
- the eccentric member 205 is arranged to be mounted in the housing 206 in a desired angular orientation. Three angular orientations are illustrated in FIG. 13.
- the eccentric member 205 is arranged so that once permanently mounted in the housing 206, the eccentric member is locked in rotation in the housing.
- the eccentric member 205 is inserted by force into the housing of the lever.
- the member 205 is glued into the housing 206 of the lever.
- the eccentric member 205 may comprise reliefs arranged to cooperate with complementary reliefs on the housing 206 to block the relative rotation of the eccentric member 205 relative to the member in the housing.
- At least one of the eccentric member 205 and the housing 206 comprises for example on its outer periphery reliefs, including grooves, to cooperate with the other of the eccentric member and the housing to prevent inadvertent relative rotation.
- the eccentricity of the eccentric opening relative to the outer periphery 207 is chosen to also take account of manufacturing tolerances, being for example at least 0.5 mm, for example close to 1 mm.
- the eccentric member 205 is made in particular of plastic, bronze, steel or stainless steel.
- the assembly 1 comprises the delay device 60, as illustrated in FIG. 12.
- the actuating device is devoid of a delay device, as illustrated in FIG.
- the articulation between the lever 22 and the part 21 is a purely pivot joint, without delay effect.
- the method of manufacturing the fluidic unit advantageously comprises the following steps (see FIG. 15):
- the method comprises in particular the following steps (see FIG. 16):
- step 310 Use a first tool to keep the metering member in the closed position (step 310), - Use a second tool to keep the drive wheel 16 in a position to align its axis of rotation with the hinge pins at the ends of the lever 22 (step 31 1),
