Description

L'invention concerne un actionneur électrohydraulique à pompe intégrée dans le piston.The invention relates to an electrohydraulic actuator with pump integrated in the piston.

ARRIERE-PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

On connaît des actionneurs électrohydrauliques comportant un corps définissant une cavité cylindrique dans laquelle un piston coulisse à étanchéité et divise l'intérieur de la cavité en deux chambres. Le piston est associé à au moins une tige qui traverse l'un des fonds du corps. L'actionneur comporte également une pompe bidirectionnelle qui est actionnée par un moteur électrique et qui comporte deux ports qui sont reliés chacun à l'une des chambres du cylindre. La pompe permet de transférer du fluide d'une chambre à l'autre pour faire bouger le piston et donc la tige, la quantité de fluide correspondant au différentiel de volume entre les chambres étant fourni ou absorbé par un organe de compensation, par exemple un accumulateur.Electrohydraulic actuators are known having a body defining a cylindrical cavity in which a piston slides sealingly and divides the interior of the cavity into two chambers. The piston is associated with at least one rod that passes through one of the fundus of the body. The actuator also comprises a bidirectional pump which is actuated by an electric motor and which has two ports which are each connected to one of the chambers of the cylinder. The pump makes it possible to transfer fluid from one chamber to another to move the piston and therefore the rod, the quantity of fluid corresponding to the volume differential between the chambers being supplied or absorbed by a compensating member, for example a accumulator.

Ces actionneurs électrohydrauliques sont en général relativement encombrants puisque le moteur électrique et la pompe sont placés sur le côté du cylindre.These electrohydraulic actuators are generally relatively bulky since the electric motor and the pump are placed on the side of the cylinder.

On connaît, par exemple du document FR 2 831 226 , des actionneurs électrohydrauliques longilignes dans lesquels le moteur la pompe et l'accumulateur sont placés dans le prolongement du cylindre. Des conduits percés dans les parois du cylindre permettent de connecter les ports de la pompe aux deux chambres.We know, for example from the document FR 2 831 226 , elongated electrohydraulic actuators in which the motor pump and the accumulator are placed in the extension of the cylinder. Pipes pierced in the walls of the cylinder allow the ports of the pump to be connected to the two chambers.

On connaît par ailleurs du document US 2 918 795 un actionneur électrohydraulique dans lesquels la pompe et le moteur sont embarqués dans le piston de l'actionneur, chacun des ports de la chambre débouchant directement dans l'une des chambres de l'actionneur. Cet agencement est très compact, mais le moteur est entièrement noyé, et une défaillance du moteur rend son remplacement complexe, car il faut désassembler entièrement l'actionneur.It is also known from the document US 2,918,795 an electrohydraulic actuator in which the pump and the motor are embedded in the piston of the actuator, each of the ports of the chamber opening directly into one of the actuator chambers. This arrangement is very compact, but the engine is fully flooded, and engine failure makes its replacement complex, because it is necessary to disassemble the actuator entirely.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

L'invention a pour objet un actionneur électrohydraulique compact, tout en restant néanmoins facile d'entretien.The invention relates to a compact electrohydraulic actuator, while still being easy to maintain.

BREVE DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

En vue de la réalisation de ce but, on propose un actionneur électrohydraulique comportant un corps qui définit une cavité cylindrique dans laquelle un piston coulisse à étanchéité et divise un volume interne de la cavité en deux chambres à volume variable, le piston étant associé à au moins une tige qui traverse à étanchéité un fond de la cavité, l'actionneur comportant une pompe bidirectionnelle ayant deux ports connectés chacun à l'une des chambres, un moteur électrique pour entraîner sélectivement la pompe dans un sens ou dans l'autre, la pompe étant placée dans le piston de l'actionneur pour être mobile avec celui-ci, chacun des ports débouchant directement dans l'une des chambres.With a view to achieving this object, an electrohydraulic actuator is proposed comprising a body which defines a cylindrical cavity in which a piston slides sealingly and divides an internal volume of the cavity into two chambers with variable volume, the piston being associated with the least one rod which passes through a bottom of the cavity, the actuator comprising a bidirectional pump having two ports each connected to one of the chambers, an electric motor for selectively driving the pump in one direction or the other, the pump being placed in the piston of the actuator to be mobile with it, each of the ports opening directly into one of the chambers.

Selon l'invention, le moteur électrique est placé en extrémité de l'actionneur et entraîne en rotation un arbre de section non circulaire qui s'étend dans le cylindre en traversant le piston, la pompe comportant un organe d'entraînement homologue glissant librement le long de l'arbre lors des déplacements de la tige mais entraîné en rotation lorsque l'arbre tourne sous l'action du moteur électrique.According to the invention, the electric motor is placed at the end of the actuator and drives in rotation a shaft of non-circular section which extends in the cylinder through the piston, the pump comprising a homologous drive member freely sliding along the shaft during movements of the rod but rotated when the shaft rotates under the action of the electric motor.

Ainsi, bien que la pompe reste intégrée à l'intérieur même du cylindre entre les chambres, le moteur reste lui en extrémité et peut donc être facilement démonté en cas de défaillance qui, statistiquement, est plus probable qu'une défaillance de la pompe.Thus, although the pump remains integrated inside the cylinder between the chambers, the engine remains at its end and can be easily dismantled in case of failure which, statistically, is more likely than a failure of the pump.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

En référence à la figure 1, et conformément à l'invention, l'actionneur comporte un corps 1 qui délimite une cavité cylindrique 2 s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal X. Un piston 3 est monté à coulissement étanche dans la cavité cylindrique et délimite dans celle-ci deux chambres hydrauliques A, B. Le piston 3 est associé à une tige 4 qui traverse à étanchéité un fond du corps 1. Les divers joints réalisant les étanchéités mentionnées ne sont pas représentés ici.With reference to the figure 1 and in accordance with the invention, the actuator comprises a body 1 which delimits a cylindrical cavity 2 extending along a longitudinal axis X. A piston 3 is mounted to slide tightly in the cylindrical cavity and delimits therein two chambers The piston 3 is associated with a rod 4 which passes through a bottom of the body 1. The various joints forming the seals mentioned are not shown here.

Une pompe bidirectionnelle 5 est disposée directement dans le piston 3. La pompe bidirectionnelle 5 comporte deux ports P1, P2 qui débouchent respectivement dans l'une des chambres A,B.A bidirectional pump 5 is disposed directly in the piston 3. The bidirectional pump 5 comprises two ports P1, P2 which respectively open into one of the rooms A, B.

De façon connue en soi, la pompe bidirectionnelle 5 comporte un organe rotatif (par exemple un barillet, un engrenage, un moyeu...) qu'il suffit d'entraîner en rotation pour provoquer un transfert de fluide d'une chambre à l'autre, et, partant, un déplacement du piston 3 dans la cavité cylindrique 2.In a manner known per se, the bidirectional pump 5 comprises a rotary member (for example a barrel, a gear, a hub, etc.) that can be rotated to cause fluid transfer from a chamber to the chamber. other, and hence a displacement of the piston 3 in the cylindrical cavity 2.

A cet effet, et selon l'invention, l'actionneur comporte un arbre cannelé 6 qui s'étend dans la cavité cylindrique 2 parallèlement à l'axe X est qui est entraîné en rotation au moyen d'un moteur électrique 8 disposé ici à l'extérieur de la cavité 2. L'arbre cannelé 6 traverse le piston 3 qui peut coulisser librement le long de l'arbre cannelé 6. Une rotation de l'arbre cannelé 6 sous l'effet d'une rotation du moteur électrique 8 provoque une rotation de l'organe rotatif de la pompe bidirectionnelle 5, qui provoqué un transfert de fluide d'une chambre à l'autre, et, partant, le déplacement du piston 3 dans la cavité cylindrique 2.For this purpose, and according to the invention, the actuator comprises a splined shaft 6 which extends in the cylindrical cavity 2 parallel to the axis X is rotated by means of an electric motor 8 disposed here at the outside of the cavity 2. The splined shaft 6 passes through the piston 3 which can slide freely along the splined shaft 6. A rotation of the splined shaft 6 under the effect of a rotation of the electric motor 8 causes rotation of the rotational member of the bidirectional pump 5, which causes a transfer of fluid from one chamber to another, and hence the displacement of the piston 3 in the cylindrical cavity 2.

L'actionneur comporte des moyens de compensation pour compenser une différence de débit entre les deux chambres lors d'un déplacement du piston 3 dans la cavité 2. Ici, ces moyens de compensation comportent un accumulateur 9 relié hydrauliquement relié à la chambre B. Le surplus de fluide qui transite de la chambre A vers la chambre B lors d'un enfoncement de la tige 4 est récupéré dans l'accumulateur 9. A l'inverse, le déficit de fluide transitant de la chambre B vers la chambre A lors d'une sortie de la tige 4 est fourni par l'accumulateur 9.The actuator comprises compensating means for compensating for a difference in flow rate between the two chambers during displacement of the piston 3 in the cavity 2. Here, these compensation means comprise an accumulator 9 connected hydraulically connected to the chamber B. excess fluid passing from the chamber A to the chamber B during a depression of the rod 4 is recovered in the accumulator 9. Conversely, the fluid deficit transiting from the chamber B to the chamber A during an output of the rod 4 is provided by the accumulator 9.

Comme cela illustré à la figure 2, la pompe bidirectionnelle 5 est, dans l'exemple illustré, du type à palettes. La pompe bidirectionnelle 5 comporte un moyeu central 11 intérieurement cannelé qui est entraîné en rotation par l'arbre cannelé 6 et qui porté des palettes 12 (seule une seule des palettes est référencée) qui coopèrent avec une paroi latérale interne 13 du piston 3 et des flancs interne de celui-ci pour définir des volumes permettant le transfert de fluide de l'un à l'autre des ports.As illustrated in figure 2 , the bidirectional pump 5 is, in the example shown, the vane type. The bi-directional pump 5 comprises a central hub 11 internally splined which is rotated by the splined shaft 6 and carried pallets 12 (only one of the vanes is referenced) which cooperate with an inner side wall 13 of the piston 3 and internal flanks of it to define volumes allowing the transfer of fluid from one to the other of the ports.

Selon une variante illustrée à la figure 3, la pompe bidirectionnelle 5 est du type à engrenage. Elle comporte un pignon moteur 21 intérieurement cannelé qui est entraîné en rotation par l'arbre cannelé 6, qui coopère avec un pignon mené 22. Les deux pignons 21,22 coopèrent à étanchéité avec une paroi latérale interne 23 pour définir des volumes permettant le transfert de fluide de l'un à l'autre des ports.According to a variant illustrated in figure 3 the bidirectional pump 5 is of the gear type. It comprises an internally splined motor gear 21 which is rotated by the splined shaft 6, which cooperates with a driven gear 22. The two gears 21,22 cooperate sealingly with an inner side wall 23 to define volumes allowing the transfer of fluid from one to the other of the ports.

Sur les figures 2 et3, le port P1, porté par la paroi du piston non visible sur cette coupe, a été indiqué en pointillés.On the figures 2 and3, the port P1, carried by the piston wall not visible on this section, has been indicated in dashed lines.

L'invention n'est bien sûr pas limitée à ce qui vient d'être décrit mais englobe au contraire toute variante entrant dans le cadre défini par les revendications.The invention is of course not limited to what has just been described but encompasses any variant within the scope defined by the claims.

En particulier, on pourra utiliser tout type de pompe hydraulique, du moment qu'elle soit intégrée dans le piston de la tige. En outre, bien que l'arbre 6 soit ici cannelé, il pourra plus généralement présenter une section non circulaire adaptée à provoquer un entraînement en rotation d'un organe d'entraînement homologue de la pompe avec lequel il coopère. En outre, il est possible d'ajouter une vanne électrique entre l'accumulateur et la chambre associée, pour éviter une mise en pression des chambres en l'absence de courant électrique.In particular, any type of hydraulic pump can be used as long as it is integrated in the piston of the rod. In addition, although the shaft 6 is here fluted, it may more generally have a non-circular section adapted to cause a rotational drive of a homologous drive member of the pump with which it cooperates. In addition, it is possible to add an electric valve between the accumulator and the associated chamber, to prevent pressurization of the chambers in the absence of electric current.
