Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum hydraulischen Betätigen eines Auslassventils mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for hydraulically actuating an exhaust valve with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Vorrichtung ist aus der DE-PS 38 09 954 bekannt. Sie soll dazu dienen, Längenänderungen des Auslassventilschaftes aufgrund von Temperaturänderungen zu kompensieren, weil sich sonst die Position des Servokolbens relativ zum Servozylinder verschiebt, was eine Aenderung des Schliesspunktes des Auslassventils zur Folge hätte. Die bekannte Vorrichtung wird in Verbindung mit einer sogenannten "hydraulischen Stossstange" verwendet, die aus der in der Druckmittelleitung zwischen dem Servozylinder und einem nockengesteuerten Hubgeberkolben befindlichen Hydraulikflüssigkeit besteht. Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung sind deshalb die Druckmittelleitung und die Entlastungsleitung an demselben Ort am Servozylinder angeschlossen, d.h. beim Schliessen des Auslassventils entweicht Druckmittel in die Druckmittelleitung. Ausserdem ist im Servokolben ein gegen den Druckraum öffnendes Rückschlagventil vorgesehen und in dem von der Führungsbüchse umgebenen Abschnitt des Servokolbens ist eine axiale Nut angebracht, die zusammen mit der Stirnkante der Führungsbüchse eine bei der Schliessbewegung des Auslassventils kleiner werdende Drosselstelle bildet. Bei geschlossenem Auslassventil ist auch die Drosselstelle geschlossen. Mit der Drosselstelle soll während der Schliessbewegung des Auslassventils eine Bremskraft auf die Ventilbewegung ausgeübt werden. Um eine Längenänderung des Auslassventilschaftes zu kompensieren, wird die Führungsbüchse relativ zum Servokolben verschoben, wobei der druckmittelgefüllte Raum aus der Entlüftungsleitung nachgefüllt wird (Schaftverkürzung). Wie bei einer Schaftverlängerung eine Verschiebung der Führungsbüchse in geschlossenem Zustand des Auslassventils vorgenommen werden soll, ist in der PS nicht erläutert. Sie erfolgt offenbar nicht automatisch während des Betriebes der Hubkolbenbrennkraftmaschine.Such a device is known from DE-PS 38 09 954. It is intended to compensate for changes in length of the exhaust valve stem due to temperature changes, because otherwise the position of the servo piston shifts relative to the servo cylinder, which would result in a change in the closing point of the exhaust valve. The known device is used in connection with a so-called "hydraulic bumper", which consists of the hydraulic fluid located in the pressure medium line between the servo cylinder and a cam-controlled lifting piston. In the known device, the pressure medium line and the relief line are therefore connected to the same location on the servo cylinder, ie pressure medium escapes into the pressure medium line when the outlet valve is closed. In addition, a check valve opening against the pressure chamber is provided in the servo piston and an axial groove is provided in the section of the servo piston surrounded by the guide bushing, which together with the front edge of the guide bushing forms a throttling point that becomes smaller during the closing movement of the exhaust valve. When the exhaust valve is closed, the throttle point is also closed. A braking force is to be exerted on the valve movement with the throttle point during the closing movement of the outlet valve. To compensate for a change in the length of the exhaust valve stem, the guide bush is moved relative to the servo piston, whereby the pressure-filled space is refilled from the ventilation line (shortening of the shaft). The PS does not explain how a displacement of the guide bush in the closed state of the outlet valve is to be carried out in the case of a shaft extension. It obviously does not take place automatically during the operation of the reciprocating piston internal combustion engine.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe Zugrunde, die Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend abzuändern und zu verbessern, dass sie in Verbindung mit einer elektrohydraulischen Steuereinrichtung gemäss der EP-OS 441 100 verwendbar ist und dass sich Aenderungen der Schaftlänge des Auslassventils vollkommen automatisch kompensieren lassen.The invention is based on the object of modifying and improving the device of the type mentioned at the outset such that it can be used in conjunction with an electro-hydraulic control device according to EP-OS 441 100 and that changes in the stem length of the exhaust valve can be compensated for completely automatically.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass sich automatisch immer die Führungsbüchse bei Längenänderungen des Ventilschaftes in der gleichen Richtung und im gleichen Ausmass wie der Servokolben verschiebt, da auch bei einer Verschiebung der Führungsbüchse gegen den druckmittelgefüllten Raum Druckmittel aus diesem Raum in den Druckraum verdrängt wird, so dass die relative Zuordnung zwischen Servokolben und Führungsbüchse erhalten bleibt. Es werden also Schaftlängenänderungen des Auslassventils in beiden Richtungen automatisch kompensiert, so dass die Oeffnungs- und Schliessgeometrie der Servovorrichtung des Auslassventils unabhängig von Wärmedehnungen in jedem Fall gleich bleibt. Ausserdem wird mit der neuen Vorrichtung noch der Vorteil erzielt, dass in der letzten Phase der Schliessbewegung des Auslassventils eine Dämpfung dieser Bewegung eintritt, weil nach dem Ueberfahren des mit der Entlastungsleitung kommunizierenden Durchbruchs durch den Servokolben die Entlastungsleitung mit dem Druckraum in Verbindung bleibt.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. This ensures that the guide bush always automatically shifts in the same direction and to the same extent as the servo piston when the length of the valve stem changes, since even when the guide bush is shifted towards the pressure-filled space, pressure medium is displaced from this space into the pressure space, so that the relative assignment between servo pistons and guide bushing is retained. Changes in the length of the outlet valve stem are therefore automatically compensated in both directions, so that the opening and closing geometry of the servo device of the outlet valve remains the same regardless of thermal expansion. In addition, the advantage of the new device is that damping of this movement occurs in the last phase of the closing movement of the exhaust valve because after the passage through the servo piston communicating with the relief line, the relief line remains connected to the pressure chamber.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird in der folgenden Beschreibung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail in the following description with reference to the drawing. Show it:

a vertical section through the upper part of a working cylinder with an outlet valve and a circuit diagram of the control device according to EP-OS 441 110 and
Fig. 2
an axial section through a servo cylinder with servo pistons according to the invention.

Gemäss Fig.1 ist im Maschinengehäuse einer 2-Takt-Dieselbrennkraftmaschine ein Arbeitszylinder 1 und anschliessend an dessen oberen Ende in einem getrennten Gehäuse 10 ein Auspuffkanal 4 ausgebildet. Im Gehäuse 10 ist am Eingang des Auspuffkanals 4 ein Auslassventil 2 angeordnet, das in der gezeichneten geschlossenen Stellung den Brennraum 3 im Arbeitszylinder 1 vom Auspuffkanal 4 trennt. Im Arbeitszylinder 1 ist ein Arbeitskolben 5 auf- und abbeweglich geführt. Die im Arbeitszylinder zu komprimierende Luft wird über nicht dargestellte, im unteren Bereich des Arbeitszylinders 1 angeordnete Schlitze in den Zylinderraum eingelassen und beim anschliessenden Aufwärtshub des Arbeitskolbens 5 im Brennraum 3 verdichtet. Der Brennstoff wird mit Hilfe mindestens einer nicht dargestellten, in den Brennraum 3 ragenden Einspritzdüse zugeführt.According to FIG. 1, a working cylinder 1 is formed in the machine housing of a 2-stroke diesel internal combustion engine, and then an exhaust duct 4 is formed in a separate housing 10 at its upper end. In the housing 10, an exhaust valve 2 is arranged at the entrance of the exhaust duct 4, which separates the combustion chamber 3 in the working cylinder 1 from the exhaust duct 4 in the closed position shown. In the working cylinder 1, a working piston 5 is guided up and down. The air to be compressed in the working cylinder is admitted into the cylinder chamber via slots (not shown) arranged in the lower region of the working cylinder 1 and is compressed in the combustion chamber 3 during the subsequent upward stroke of the working piston 5. The fuel is supplied with the aid of at least one injection nozzle (not shown) which projects into the combustion chamber 3.

An dem dem Brennraum 3 abgewendeten Ende des Auslassventils 2 ist ein Kolben 6 angeodnet, der in einem Zylinder 7 des Gehäuses 10 geführt ist. An dem in Fig.1 unterhalb des Kolbens 6 befindlichen Zylinderraum 7' ist über ein Rückschlagventil 8 eine Druckluftleitung 9 angeschlossen. Die auf diese Weise im Zylinderraum 7' eingeschlossene Luft bildet eine Luftfeder, die auf das Auslassventil 2 in schliessendem Sinne wirkt.At the end of the exhaust valve 2 facing away from the combustion chamber 3, a piston 6 is arranged, which is guided in a cylinder 7 of the housing 10. On the in Fig.1 A compressed air line 9 is connected below the piston 6 of the cylinder space 7 'via a check valve 8. The air enclosed in the cylinder space 7 'in this way forms an air spring which acts on the exhaust valve 2 in a closing sense.

Auf die in Fig.1 obere Seite des Kolbens 6 wirkt über eine Stange 11' ein von einem hydraulischen Druckmittel betätigter Servokolben 11, der in einem Servozylinder 13 geführt ist, an dem eine hydraulische steuereinrichtung 12 angeschlossen ist. Die Steuereinrichtung 12 weist ein als 2/2-Wegeventil ausgebildetes, durch einen Elektromagneten 14 betätigtes Vorsteuerventil 15 und ein 4/2-Wegeventil 16 auf. Das hydraulische Druckmittel, z.B. Oel, wird der Steuereinrichtung 12 über eine Leitung 17 von einer als Akkumulator ausgebildeten Druckmittelquelle 18 zugeführt. Der Akkumulator 18 erhält das Druckmittel aus einem Reservoir 20 mittels einer Pumpe 19, die von der nicht dargestellten Kurbelwelle der Brennkraftmaschine oder elektrisch angetrieben ist. Im Akkmulator 18 befindet sich das Druckmittel unter einem Druck von beispielsweise 200 bar. Die vom Akkumulator 18 zur Steuereinrichtung 12 führende Leitung 17 gabelt sich vor dem 4/2-Wegeventil 16 in zwei Leitungszweige 17' und 17''. Der Leitungszweig 17' führt zum 4/2-Wegeventil 16 und setzt sich als Leitung 27 bis zu einer Anschlussstelle 21 am Servozylinder 13 fort. Der Leitungszweig 17'' enthält eine Drosselstelle 22 und führt einerseits zum Vorsteuerventil 15 und andererseits auf eine Stirnseite des 4/2-Wegeventils 16. Am Servozylinder 13 befindet sich eine weitere Anschlussstelle 23 für eine Entlastungsleitung 24, die zum 4/2-Wegeventil 16 führt und sich als Ablaufleitung 24' fortsetzt, die über ein Rückschlagventil 25 in das Reservoir 20 mündet. An die Ablaufleitung 24' ist ausserdem eine Entlüftungsleitung 26 angeschlossen, die vom Servozylinder 13 oberhalb des Kolbens 11 abzweigt und eine Drosselstelle 57 aufweist. Stromoberhalb des Rückschlagventils 25 mündet in die Ablaufleitung 24' eine Entlastungsleitung 28, die vom Vorsteuerventil 15 ausgeht.A servo piston 11, which is actuated by a hydraulic pressure medium and acts in a servo cylinder 13 to which a hydraulic control device 12 is connected, acts on the upper side of the piston 6 in FIG. 1 via a rod 11 '. The control device 12 has a pilot valve 15 designed as a 2/2-way valve and actuated by an electromagnet 14 and a 4/2-way valve 16. The hydraulic pressure medium, for example oil, is supplied to the control device 12 via a line 17 from a pressure medium source 18 designed as an accumulator. The accumulator 18 receives the pressure medium from a reservoir 20 by means of a pump 19 which is driven by the crankshaft (not shown) of the internal combustion engine or electrically. In the accumulator 18, the pressure medium is under a pressure of, for example, 200 bar. The line 17 leading from the accumulator 18 to the control device 12 forks upstream of the 4/2-way valve 16 into two line branches 17 'and 17''. The line branch 17 'leads to the 4/2-way valve 16 and continues as line 27 to a connection point 21 on the servo cylinder 13. The line branch 17 ″ contains a throttle point 22 and leads on the one hand to the pilot valve 15 and on the other hand to an end face of the 4/2-way valve 16. On the servo cylinder 13 there is a further connection point 23 for a relief line 24 which leads to the 4/2-way valve 16 leads and continues as drain line 24 ', which opens into the reservoir 20 via a check valve 25. To the Drain line 24 'is also connected to a vent line 26 which branches off from the servo cylinder 13 above the piston 11 and has a throttle point 57. A relief line 28, which starts from the pilot valve 15, opens into the outlet line 24 ′ upstream of the check valve 25.

Der Servokolben 11 weist an seinem der Stange 11' abgewendeten Ende eine Sackbohrung 40 auf, die an ihrem in Fig.1 unteren Ende im Bereich der Anschlussstelle 21 über Querbohrungen 56 mit einem Ringraum 58 in Verbindung steht. Im Bereich der Anschlussstelle 23 besteht zwischen dem Servokolben 11 und dem Servozylinder 13 ein Ringraum 59.The servo piston 11 has at its end facing away from the rod 11 'a blind bore 40 which is connected to an annular space 58 at its lower end in FIG. 1 in the region of the connection point 21 via transverse bores 56. In the area of the connection point 23 there is an annular space 59 between the servo piston 11 and the servo cylinder 13.

In der in Fig.1 gezeichneten Stellung ist der Strom am Elektromagneten 14 des Vorsteuerventils 15 eingeschaltet, und das über den Leitungszweig 17'' zugeführte Druckmittel wirkt auf die Stirnfläche des 4/2-Wegeventils 16; die Druckmittelzufuhr über den Leitungszweig 17' und die Leitung 27 zum Servozylinder 13 ist dadurch abgesperrt. Hingegen hat das 4/2-Wegeventil 16 den Durchgang von der Entlastungsleitung 24 zur Ablaufleitung 24' hergestellt, so dass der Servokolben 11 im Servozylinder 13 vom Druck des Druckmittels entlastet wird und das Auslassventil 2 von der Luftfeder unter dem Kolben 6 in schliessendem Sinne beeinflusst wird. Dabei wird Druckmittel aus dem Druckraum des Servozylinders über die Anschlussstelle 23 in die Entlastungsleitung 24 verdrängt. Wegen des Rückschlagventils 25 bleibt in dem stromoberhalb von diesem befindlichen Leitungsabschnitt 24' sowie in den Leitungen 24 und 26 ein Restdruck von ungefähr 10 bar erhalten. Wird der Strom am Elektromagneten 14 ausgeschaltet, so wird im Vorsteuerventil 15 eine Verbindung zwischen dem Leitungszweig 17'' und der Entlastungsleitung 28 hergestellt, so dass die Stirnfläche des 4/2-Wegeventils 16 vom Druck entlastet wird. Das 4/2-Wegeventil 16 unterbricht damit die vorherige Verbindung der Leitungen 24 und 24' und verbindet nunmehr den Leitungszweig 17' mit der Leitung 27, so dass unter Druck stehendes Druckmittel über die Anschlussstelle 21, den Raum 58 und die Querbohrungen 56 in die Sackbohrung 40 gelangt, wodurch der Servokolben 11 abwärtsbewegt wird und das Auslassventil 2 öffnet.In the position shown in FIG. 1, the current at the electromagnet 14 of the pilot valve 15 is switched on, and the pressure medium supplied via the line branch 17 ″ acts on the end face of the 4/2-way valve 16; the pressure medium supply via the line branch 17 'and the line 27 to the servo cylinder 13 is shut off. In contrast, the 4/2-way valve 16 has made the passage from the relief line 24 to the drain line 24 ', so that the servo piston 11 in the servo cylinder 13 is relieved of the pressure of the pressure medium and the outlet valve 2 is influenced in a closing sense by the air spring under the piston 6 becomes. Pressure medium is displaced from the pressure chamber of the servo cylinder via the connection point 23 into the relief line 24. Because of the check valve 25, a residual pressure of approximately 10 bar is maintained in the line section 24 ′ located upstream thereof and in the lines 24 and 26. If the current at the electromagnet 14 is switched off, a connection between the Line branch 17 '' and the relief line 28 are produced, so that the end face of the 4/2-way valve 16 is relieved of pressure. The 4/2-way valve 16 thus interrupts the previous connection of the lines 24 and 24 'and now connects the line branch 17' to the line 27, so that pressurized pressure medium via the connection point 21, the space 58 and the cross bores 56 in the Blind hole 40 arrives, whereby the servo piston 11 is moved downward and the outlet valve 2 opens.

Wie Fig.2 zeigt, ist erfindungsgemäss zwischen dem Servozylinder 13 und dem Servokolben 11 eine Führungsbüchse 60 angeordnet, die im Bereich der Anschlussstellen 21 und 23 jeweils einen Durchbruch in Form einer äusseren Ringnut 61 bzw. 62 und mehreren von dieser ausgehenden, über den Umfang der Führungsbüchse verteilten radialen Bohrungen 61' bzw. 62' aufweist. Die Führungsbüchse 60 ist im Servozylinder 13 axial beweglich geführt und weist an ihrem in Fig.2 oberen Ende eine Querwand 60' in Form eines lösbar mit der Führungsbüchse verbundenen Deckels auf. In der Führungsbüchse 60 ist der Servokolben 11 gleitend gelagert, der in der in Fig.2 gezeichneten Stellung mit seiner oberen Stirnfläche an einem Ansatz 63 des Deckels 60' anliegt. Von dem so gebildeten Druckraum 65 zwischen dem Servokolben 11 und der Führungsbüchse 60, 60' zweigen zwei den Ansatz 63 durchdringende radiale Kanäle 71 ab, die über eine zwischen den äusseren Stirnkanten des Ansatzes 63 und des Servokolbens 11 ausgebildete Ringnut in einen die Führungsbüchse 60 durchdringenden winkelförmigen Kanal 66 münden, der seinerseits in eine der oberen Bohrungen 62' mündet. Dadurch ist eine ständige Verbindung zwischen dem Druckraum 65 und der an der Stelle 23 angeschlossenen Entlastungsleitung 24 hergestellt ist. Im Servokolben 11 befindet sich etwas oberhalb der in Fig.2 linken Bohrung 56 ein radialer Kanal 72, der in eine äussere Ringnut 73 mündet, die während eines Oeffnungsvorganges des Auslassventils bei der Abwärtsbewegung des Servokolbens relativ zur Führungsbüchse 60 vor die Bohrung 61' zu liegen kommt.As shown in FIG. 2, according to the invention, a guide bush 60 is arranged between the servo cylinder 13 and the servo piston 11, each of which has a breakthrough in the area of the connection points 21 and 23 in the form of an outer annular groove 61 or 62 and several of these extending from the circumference the guide bush has distributed radial bores 61 'or 62'. The guide sleeve 60 is axially movably guided in the servo cylinder 13 and has at its upper end in FIG. 2 a transverse wall 60 'in the form of a cover detachably connected to the guide sleeve. The servo piston 11 is slidably mounted in the guide bush 60 and, in the position shown in FIG. 2, its upper end face rests against a shoulder 63 of the cover 60 '. From the pressure chamber 65 thus formed between the servo piston 11 and the guide bushing 60, 60 'branch off two radial channels 71 penetrating the shoulder 63, which pass through an annular groove formed between the outer end edges of the shoulder 63 and the servo piston 11 into a ring bushing penetrating the guide bushing 60 open angular channel 66, which in turn opens into one of the upper bores 62 '. As a result, there is a permanent connection between the pressure chamber 65 and the relief line 24 connected at the point 23 is made. A radial channel 72 is located in the servo piston 11 slightly above the bore 56 on the left in FIG. 2, which opens into an outer annular groove 73 which, during an opening process of the exhaust valve, lies in front of the bore 61 'relative to the guide bush 60 during the downward movement of the servo piston 60 is coming.

Die in Fig.2 obere Stirnwand 13' des Servozylinders 13 weist eine Anschlussstelle 67 für die Entlüftungsleitung 26 auf. Zwischen der Stirnwand 13' und dem Deckel 60' befindet sich ein druckmittelgefüllter Raum 68, der einerseits über ein gegen diesen Raum schliessendes Rückschlagventil 69 mit dem Druckraum 65 und andererseits über ein gegen die Anschlussstelle 67 schliessendes Rückschlagventil 70 mit der Entlastungsleitung 26 kommuniziert.The upper end wall 13 'of the servo cylinder 13 in FIG. 2 has a connection point 67 for the ventilation line 26. Between the end wall 13 'and the cover 60' there is a pressure medium-filled space 68 which communicates with the pressure chamber 65 on the one hand via a check valve 69 closing against this space and on the other hand communicates with the relief line 26 via a check valve 70 closing against the connection point 67.

Die Vorrichtung gemäss Fig.2 funktioniert wie folgt. Wenn sich der Schaft des Auslassventils infolge Temperaturerhöhung verlängert, so wird über die Stange 11' der Servokolben 11 in Fig.2 nach oben verschoben. Da die obere Stirnfläche des Servokolbens 11 am Ansatz 63 anliegt, wird mit der Verschiebung des Servokolbens zugleich auch die Führungsbüchse 60 nach oben verschoben. Durch diese Verschiebung wird Druckmittel aus dem Raum 68 über das sich öffnende Rückschlagventil 69 in den Druckraum 65 verdrängt. Das so verdrängte Druckmittelvolumen entweicht über die Kanäle 71, 66, die Ringnut 62 und die Anschlussstelle 23 in die Entlastungsleitung 24. Auf diese Weise bleibt trotz der Längenänderung des Auslassventilschaftes die relative Lage des Servokolbens 11 zur Führungsbüchse 60 erhalten, und es kann keine Veränderung des Schliessverhaltens des Auslassventils eintreten. Auch bei einer Verkürzung des Schaftes des Auslassventils tritt diese Wirkung ein, indem die Stange 11' der Schaftverkürzung folgt. Da der Durchmesser der Querwand 60' der Führungsbüchse 60 grösser ist als der Durchmesser des Servokolbens 11 sowie infolge des früher erwähnten Restdruckes entsteht im Raum 68 eine hydraulische Kraft, die die Führungsbüchse in Fig.2 abwärtsbewegt und den Anschlag 63 wieder gegen den Servokolben drückt. Durch Oeffnen des Rückschlagventils 70 strömt Druckmittel aus der Entlüftungsleitung 26 in den Raum 68 nach. Auch in diesem Fall bleiben also die relative Lage des Servokolbens 11 zur Führungsbüchse 60 und damit auch das Schliessverhalten des Auslassventils erhalten.The device according to Fig.2 works as follows. If the stem of the exhaust valve is lengthened due to an increase in temperature, the servo piston 11 is moved upward in FIG. 2 via the rod 11 '. Since the upper end face of the servo piston 11 bears against the shoulder 63, the guide bush 60 is also displaced upward when the servo piston is moved. As a result of this displacement, pressure medium is displaced from the space 68 into the pressure space 65 via the opening check valve 69. The pressure medium volume thus displaced escapes via the channels 71, 66, the annular groove 62 and the connection point 23 into the relief line 24. In this way, the relative position of the servo piston 11 relative to the guide bush 60 is maintained despite the change in length of the outlet valve stem, and it cannot change the Closing behavior of the exhaust valve occur. Even if the exhaust valve stem is shortened this effect occurs when the rod 11 'follows the shortening of the shaft. Since the diameter of the transverse wall 60 'of the guide bush 60 is larger than the diameter of the servo piston 11 and as a result of the previously mentioned residual pressure, a hydraulic force is generated in the space 68, which moves the guide bush downwards in FIG. 2 and presses the stop 63 again against the servo piston. By opening the check valve 70, pressure medium flows out of the vent line 26 into the space 68. In this case too, the relative position of the servo piston 11 relative to the guide bush 60 and thus also the closing behavior of the exhaust valve are retained.
