IPC: F15B11/08
Filed: 1992-04-27
Abstract: For remote indication of the position of the movable member (7) of a double-acting, fluid-pressurized hydraulic setting motor (6) communicating with two control conduits (A2, B2) for the supply and removal of pressure fluid to actuate the movable element (7) for movement in an opening direction or in a closing direction, use is made of a volumeter (3) having a capacity corresponding to the stroke volume of the setting motor (6). The two control conduits (A2, B2) may be connected through a multi-way valve (2) with a pressure line (P) and a tank line (T) or, in a neutral state both of them may be connected with the tank line (T). The volumeter (3) is coupled to the multi-way valve (2) in such a manner that in both operating positions it is connected into the control line connected with the tank line (T), whereas it is barred in the neutral condition. The two control conduits are connected with the setting motor over pilot controlled non-return valve arrangements (4) each of which in the neutral state prevents pressure fluid from passing from the setting motor to the control conduits, whereas in the operating position return of pressure fluid to tank is being opened only after a sufficient working pressure has been established in the pressurized control conduit.

Abstract: Une voiture particulière ou un véhicule utilitaire comprend une unité constituée par un moteur à combustion interne (4) et par un générateur (6), qui alimente en énergie des moteurs électriques (12, 16) couplés aux roues motrices (14, 18) du véhicule par des éléments électroniques de puissance (8) distributeurs d'énergie. Un accumulateur (22) qui peut lui aussi être couplé par les éléments distributeurs d'énergie (8) aux moteurs électriques (12, 16) sert de source additionnelle d'énergie. Une unité électronique de commande (20) reçoit d'une pédale d'accélérateur (27) des signaux de conduite, notamment un signal de position et un signal de vitesse (alpha, alpha). Le signal de position (alpha) de la manette d'accélérateur (27) est interprété comme une demande d'un régime permanent déterminé à fournir par le moteur à combustion interne (4). La puissance de celui-ci est augmentée, par exemple lorsqu'un régime plus élevé est demandé, jusqu'à un nouveau point de fonctionnement "optimal" (par exemple à consommation réduite de carburant), alors que le générateur (6) est entièrement ou partiellement découplé de la charge. Entre-temps, l'accumulateur (22) met à disposition l'énergie requise pour accélérer le véhicule. Le signal de vitesse (alpha) détermine l'importance de l'accélération. Au moyen d'un sélecteur, on peut sélectionner un fonctionnement alimenté uniquement par accumulateur, avec moteur à combustion interne déconnecté, si des capteurs spéciaux ne sont pas prévus à cet effet.
