Title: Service Motor Operated by Liquid for Controlling the Parts of Mechanism.
IPC: F15B11/12
Filed: 1911-08-31
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 19,454. Itala Fabbrica di Automobili. Sept. 13, 1910, [Convention date]. Machines and apparatus.-Relates to a servomotor operated by liquid for controlling parts of mechanism, characterized by a piston sliding in a cylinder and kept in equilibrium by liquid under pressure, the piston being displaced by controlling the discharge of the liquid through the medium of a hollow cylindrical valve formed with helical grooves. The Figure shows a piston 2, the rod 3 of which is continuously pushed in the direction of the arrow by an external force. Ports 4, 4<1>, 4<11>, 4<111> are made in the wall of the cylinder at equal distances apart and lead to an adjacent cylinder 5. In the latter is a hollow cylinder 6 with two parallel helical grooves 8 formed on its outer surface and communicating by holes 9 with the interior of the cylinder 6 and the outflow pipe 10. The pump 12 delivers liquid to the end of the cylinder 1, and both ends of the cylinder are connected through non-return valves 16, 16' with a reservoir 13, so that, during any sudden movement of the piston, liquid may be drawn in to fill the cylinder. The width of the piston is equal to the distance between the two grooves 8, and this distance should be such that the two grooves register at the 'same time with two ports 4. In operation, if the pressure of the liquid continuously forced into the cylinder balances the external force, the liquid can pass freely through the port 4, as shown. If it is desired to displace the part that is being controlled against the action of the external force, the cylindrical slide 6 is turned so that the grooves 8 register with ports 4<1>, 4<111>; then, as the liquid cannot escape, it pushes the piston towards the right until the port 4' is uncovered.
