F02M2003/067—Increasing idling speed the valve for controlling the cross-section of the conduit being rotatable, but not being a screw-like valve
The invention is based on a valve control device the type of claim 1.
It is already a valve control device known (DE-OS 29 49 884), in which it is disadvantageous that starting from an open emergency opening, the regulation at Er excitation of the servomotor starts with a non-linear characteristic and a flow cross-section is always open, because at the same time with closing the emergency opening, opening the control opening cross cut occurs, which limits the possibilities of regulation are.
There are further valve control devices (DE-OS 28 12 292, DE-OS 30 01 473, DE-OS 30 19 167) known, but in which the night part exists that in the event of a power failure of the Stell motors or when used in a motor vehicle when parking the Internal combustion engine controlling the cross section of the control line Throttle body remains in the open position, which is just through the Actuator was controlled or in a completely closed or entirely open position is shifted, causing interference with Start or continue to run the engine. It is therefore a device has already been proposed in which Interruption of the power supply to the servomotor by the throttle element a spring element in a certain, the throttle cross section of the Control line opening position is movable.
However, such an embodiment requires a very precise adjustment tion of the spring element and carries the risk that during of continuous operation changes to the attachment of the spring element or in the spring element itself to an undesirable change in the Guide the throttle body when the actuator is not energized.
Starting from a valve control device with emergency running behavior of the known type mentioned above, the invention is the Task based on the control characteristics in particular to improve the lower control range.
This task is characterized by the characterizing features of the claim 1 solved.
The measures listed in the subclaims provide for partial further developments and improvements of claim 1 specified valve control device possible.
Embodiments of the invention are simplified in the drawing shown and explained in more detail in the following description. Show it
Fig. 1 is a sectional cross-section through a device for controlling at least one throttle, Fig. 2 shows a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1 with a position of the throttling member is not excited servomotor, Fig. 3 is a sectional long ent line III III in FIG. 1 with a throttle element blocking the control line when the servomotor is excited, FIG. 4 shows a section along line IV-IV with a throttle element blocking the control line when the servomotor is excited, FIG. 5 shows a section along line VV in FIG. 1 with a throttle cross section partially open throttle member when energized servo motor, Fig. 6 shows a section along the line VI-VI in Fig. 1 with a throttle cross-section of fully opening the throttle organ in excited servomotor, Fig. 7 a diagram Q, the flow rate of the operating medium via 8 shows the adjustment path s of the throttle element, FIG. 8 shows a schematic illustration of a further device according to the invention with an ax ially movable throttle element in the closed position, Fig. 9 is an illustration of the device of FIG. 8 in the open position.
In Fig. 1 flows in the direction of the arrow, for example, Ver combustion air through an intake pipe 1 to a throttle valve 2 over to an internal combustion engine, not shown. With the intake pipe 1 is a device serving as Steuerlei bypass line 3 , which leads to the throttle valve 2 and the passage cross section through a device 4 , by means of a throttle body 5 can be changed. The device b is controlled by an electronic control device 6 , at which the supply voltage at 7 , at 8 the signal taken from the distributor for the speed of the internal combustion engine, at 9 the signal for the engine temperature and at 10 a characterizing the position of the throttle valve 2 Voltage, which for example supplies a potentiometer connected to the throttle valve 2 , is present.
The device 4 shown in FIG. 1, for example, is provided with a cover 13 which axially delimits the device on the one hand and is designed as a casting with a section 14 of the bypass line 3 . The side facing away from the cover 13 of the device b is limited by a closing cover 16 . A tubular housing 17 provides the connection between the cover 13 and the connection cover 16 . In a nose 19 of the section 14 , an axis 20 is pressed, which on the other hand is mounted in a nose 21 in the connection cover 16 . On the axis 20 , an armature 22 of the servomotor of the device is rotatably supported GE. In the grooves 23 of the armature 22 , two windings 24 , 25 which are offset by 90 ° and act in opposite directions are seen, for example, in order to produce a reversible 90 ° rotary movement. The two windings 24 , 25 are controlled in a known manner by the control device 6 with current pulses of variable, mutually assigned duty cycle, so that the armature 22 assumes a position corresponding to the duty cycle in the magnetic field formed from two segment-shaped permanent magnets 26 . The electrical connection of the device 4 to the electronic control unit 6 takes place via a flat plug 28 with three plug connections 29 . The plug connections 29 are connected by strands 30 with contact elements 31 on the circumference of an insulating support 32 , which is rotatably coupled to a bearing sleeve 33 . The bearing sleeve 33 is rotatably mounted on the axis 20 and connected to the throttle element 5 and the armature 22 in a rotationally fixed manner.
The contact elements 31 are on the other hand with the winding ends of the windings 24 , 25 in connection. The clocked control of the servomotor reduces the frictional resistance.
The throttle element 5, designed as a rotary slide valve, partially penetrates the cover 13 and the section 14 in a control opening 36 with a control section 37 in the form of a circular section. The control section 37 opens depending on the position of the rotary valve 5, the passage cross section of the bypass line 3 more or less.
With the bearing sleeve 33 , a spring element designed as a spiral spring 38 is further connected, which is fastened to its outer end, for example on the cover 13 , with its outer end. The control line 3 opens in the direction of flow direction via a throttle opening 41 into the control opening 36 in which the control section 37 is rotatable. The throttle opening 41 is limited in the direction parallel to the axis 20 or almost parallel to the axis 20 on the one hand by a loading area 42 and on the other hand by a boundary flat 43 , as shown in Fig. 2. The coil spring 38 is now designed such that, according to FIG. 2, when the servomotor is not energized, the throttle member with the control section 37 is turned to a housing-fixed stop 44 in such a way that between the boundary surface 43 of the throttle opening 41 and a control edge 45 thereof facing the control section 37 a first throttle cross section 46 is opened, which is sufficient to provide a favorable power-air mixture in the event of a failure of the power supply to the device 4 for the continued operation of the internal combustion engine, or at the start of the internal combustion engine a predetermined, favorable air quantity via the control line 3 on the throttle valve 2 to flow past to the engine. In an equivalent embodiment, for example, as shown in dashed lines, the throttle opening 41 is completely blocked when the control section 37 adjoins the stop 44 . In this position, however, the control edge 45 'as the first throttle point 46 ' opens an opening 47 which is formed in the wall 48 between the control line 3 and the control opening 36 . The first throttle cross-section 46 'is also large enough to let a predetermined favorable amount of air flow through the control line past the throttle valve 2 to the engine at the start of the internal combustion engine or when the power supply to the servomotor is interrupted by a technical defect for the continuation of the To provide the internal combustion engine with a favorable fuel-air mixture.
In Fig. 7, the amount Q of the operating line to be controlled via the control line 3 is shown in a diagram, for example the air for an internal combustion engine, over the adjustment path s of the throttle element 5 or the throttle element 55 according to FIG. 9. In the case of the device 4 designed according to FIGS. 1 to 6, the adjustment path s represents an angle. Corresponding to the position of the control section 37 , in which it rests against the stop 44 in its rest position, there is a via the first throttle cross section 46 , 46 'Flowing emergency air quantity Q N. Now, if the actuator energized motor, so twists of FIG. 3, the control section 37 in a clockwise direction until, reached at a position s 1, the control edge 45 of the boundary surface 43 of the throttle opening 41 and the first throttle cross-section is closed 46th The control section 37 now completely covers the throttle opening 41 and only a leakage air quantity Q 1 can still flow via the control line, since the device 4 cannot be made absolutely tight for manufacturing reasons. The same applies to a control section 37 ', which blocks the first throttle cross section 46 ' in position s 1 .
With further excitation of the servomotor is rotated up to a position s 2 in a clockwise rotation of the control section 37 , 37 'into a position in which one of the control edge 45 facing control edge 48 of the control section 37 , 37 ' with the boundary surface 42 of the throttle opening 41 overlaps. During this intermediate adjustment path or intermediate adjustment range between the positions s 1 and s 2 , therefore, each throttle cross section remains closed and only the smallest possible leakage quantity Q 1 can flow via the control line.
The intermediate adjustment range or intermediate adjustment range between s 1 and s 2 is required in order to be able to use the parameter-dependent control of the equipment via the control line 3 in a suitable manner. During the control phase, the control section 37 , 37 'is rotated further clockwise via the position s 2 , so that the control edge 48 cooperating with the boundary surface 42 of the throttle opening 41 opens a second throttle cross-section 49 , as shown in Fig. 5. In the illustration of FIG. 6, the control section 37 when rotated 371 by the servomotor that it occupies a position s max, the throttle opening opens completely in it 41, so that via the orifice 41 in this position of the control section to the second Throttle cross-section 49 forms, the maximum air quantity Q max can flow. For the control section 37 ', the same applies as described for FIGS. 4 to 7.
In the further embodiment shown in FIG. 8, for example, a device 4 , a throttle element 55 is axially displaceable against the force of a spring element 57 by an electromagnetic servomotor 56 of a known type. The control line 3 opens into the device 4 with a throttle seat 58 . The throttle member 55 has a throttle part 59 and an actuating part 60 . On the actuation supply part 60 , which can simultaneously serve as the armature of the servomotor 56 , the servomotor 56 engages. The throttle part 59 is composed of a throttle paragraph 62 and a stop paragraph 63 . The throttle paragraph 62 has a diameter that almost corresponds to the diameter of the Steuerlei device 3 , so that the throttle paragraph 62 can protrude into the control line 3 . Is not excited servomotor 56, the throttle member 59 is displaced over the actuating part 60 by the spring member 57 so in the direction towards the throttle seat 58 out that the stop shoulder 63 arrives at the same time as a stop serving choke seat 58 to rest and the throttle section 62 in the control line 3 protrudes. This position takes the throttle part 59 in its rest position or in the event of failure of the power supply of the servomotor 56 . An open to the control line 3 upstream of the throttle seat 58 connec tion line 64 leads through the throttle part 59 to the circumference of the actuating part 60 downstream of the throttle seat 58 . The orifice or the orifices of the connecting line 64 to the circumference of the actuating part 60 forms or form a first throttle cross section 65 , which is fully open when the abutment 63 abutting the throttle seat 58 . In this position, an emergency running quantity Q N flows over the first throttle cross-section 65 , as already described for the previous exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7. When the servomotor 56 is excited, the servomotor 56 via the actuating part 60 initially moves the throttle part 59 until the adjustment path s 1 has been covered until the first throttle cross section 65 reaches the area of a sealing body 66 fixed to the housing, which covers the first throttle cross section 65 and prevents flow through the connecting line 64 . In this position, until the end of the intermediate adjustment range or intermediate adjustment path at s 2, only a leakage current Q 1 which is kept as small as possible but is assembly-related is possible. The throttle shoulder 62 is only pulled out of the cross section of the control line 3 during an adjustment movement beyond the position s 2 and, as shown in FIG. 9, forms a second throttle cross section 67 together with the throttle seat 58 .
The operation of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6 is thus the same as the device according to FIGS. 8 and 9, the difference being only that in the first embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6 the throttle member 5 performs a rotary movement, while in the second embodiment according to the fi gures 8 and 9, the throttle member 55 performs an axial movement.
