Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention has a fluid distributor which can be equipped with a valve and which has an internal fluid line.
A valve station for use in connection with the control of a fluid-operable device, such as an actuating cylinder, of the type whose fluid line communicates with a retaining valve.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A valve station of this type is also called a valve island, for example the German utility model G92 11 109.
Is known from. The valve station usually contains a plate-shaped fluid distributor equipped with a valve, which can be operated by an electrical actuation signal. A control unit, which may be arranged remotely from the valve station or integrated in the valve station, supplies the operating signals. The fluid-operable device to be controlled is operated from the valve station via a pressure medium line, which is in communication with the valve.
That is, for example, the control of the mechanical device can be carried out from a central position with the aid of the valve station, and by this centralization the installation costs are considerably reduced.

[0003]

Prior art valve stations must be equipped with a particular basic type of valve because the fluid distributor is structurally constructed for a particular basic type of valve. The basic type of valve is usually a selector valve with a specific construction size and line cross section, for example having only one or two actuating solenoid valves, so that it will be inferior in deviation compared to the associated valve drive. . Within the framework of all equipment,
If devices with different pressure and / or volume demands are to be controlled, then multiple valve stations must be provided, equipped with the one basic type valve required. Therefore, each valve station must be equipped with its own distributor unit that supplies the necessary operating signals to the valve drive, which requires relatively high piping and wiring costs and a relatively large floor surface.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a valve station that reduces piping and wiring costs and is more flexible in use.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a fluid distributor, which can be equipped with a valve and which has an internal fluid line, which fluid line contains. A valve station for controlling a fluid-operable device, such as communicating with a valve, constructed by different extension surfaces facing one another in at least one valve station, arranged in series in the extension direction. The valve station has at least two fluid distributors that are different from each other,
A valve station is characterized in that an adapter component is provided between two fluid distributors that are continuous with each other and connects the two fluid distributors and, when necessary, connects the pipe lines inside the two fluid distributors to each other. And

The adapter part has at least one connection for the supply of the pressure medium, said connection being in communication with the supply line inside the adapter part, said adapter part being an extension of the adjacent fluid distributor. It is preferable that the supply conduit faces the opening of the fluid conduit functioning as the supply / distributor conduit of the fluid distributor by opening at one or both connection surfaces of the adapter component facing the surface.

Further, it is preferable that only one fluid distributor added or both fluid distributors installed simultaneously can supply the pressure medium through the connection port of the adapter part.
The adapter part may additionally enable the supply of pressure medium for supplying pressure medium to the other connection ports as well.

The adapter part has at least one exhaust port, the exhaust port communicating with at least one exhaust line of the adapter part, and the exhaust line facing the extension surface of the adjacent fluid distributor. It is desirable that the exhaust pipe line faces the opening of the fluid pipe line that functions as the exhaust / collecting pipe line of the fluid distributor by opening at one or both connecting surfaces of the component.

Further, the adapter part has a first wiring penetrating between one or both connecting surfaces of the adapter part facing the extension surface of the adjacent fluid distributor, and the first wiring is a region of the fluid distributor. It is preferred to connect to a second wire for driving the valve, said second wire carrying an electrical operating signal of the valve and extending inside or laterally of both fluid distributors. In this case the first wire is permanently connected to the second wire, but in the extension area of the fluid distributor it may be equipped with an electrical connection such as a plug-in connection device.

The valve station has a distributor unit from which a valve receives an electrical operating signal, and said distributor unit is provided with any adapter part of the non-electrical fluid distributor. An extension surface may be provided on the opposite side. The distributor unit is preferably in communication with the wiring, and the distributor unit preferably has a programmable control unit or is preferably formed as a programmable control unit.

It is also desirable that the adapter component can be equipped with a controller and that the pressure of the pressure medium supplied by the controller be adjusted for use in fluid valve operation. Furthermore, the adapter part may be provided on the end face of the fluid distributor layout, only one connecting face facing the one fluid distributor and the other connecting face fitted with a cap-shaped sealing part.

The valve station may have a plurality of adapter parts, and the adapter parts may be provided between fluid distributors which are not the same, and the adapter part and the added fluid distributor are integrated. You may form a unit.
Furthermore, it is preferable that at least one fluid distributor comprises a plurality of distributor modules that can be added to each other in an adding direction, and the distributor module can be equipped with at least one valve.

[0013]

In the present invention, the valve station can simultaneously be equipped with different basic types of valves. Accordingly, fluid operable devices having different operating parameters are operated by the valve station. That is, it is not necessary to connect separate valve stations, and since a plurality of valve stations are substantially unified into a common valve station, piping cost and wiring cost are considerably reduced.

An essential feature of the valve station is an adapter part formed so that a variety of fluid distributors can be added to opposite connection surfaces. Each fluid distributor is designed to fit a specific basic type of valve, but the basic valve type attached to one fluid distributor is structurally different from the basic valve type attached to another fluid distributor. different. Since the connection surface of the adapter part facing each fluid distributor is formed in conformity with the extension surface, the connection function is secured on the one hand and the fluid connection and / or the fluid connection of the fluid pipeline existing on both sides when necessary on the other hand. Allows electrical connection of wires.

The adapter part has at least one connection for supplying a pressure medium, the connection being in communication with a supply line extending into the adapter part. Depending on the type of adapter part, the supply line itself may be supplemented by a supply in one or both fluid distributors to supply the working fluid distributed by the valve to the fluid-operable device connected as required. Can access the distribution line. If the supply line communicates only with one fluid distributor, said fluid distributor will have a different pressure level than the other added fluid distributors, for example receiving the operating medium, via the connection of the subsequent adapter. Is distributed. In this way, the valve stations can be divided into individual sections, the areas of the individual fluid distributors being dominated by different pressure ratios. Such a structure is effective when the pressure load capacities of the auxiliary valves are different from each other.

In case of already having a separate connection, additional pressure medium supply can be provided via the connection of the adapter part in order to meet the high air demand.

[0017]

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 2, the working cylinder 1 has a valve station 2
It is shown in broken lines as representative of any fluid-operable device that can be controlled by. In FIG. 2, the adapter is partially broken away and the valves of the fluid distributor have been omitted for clarity. Typically, the valve station 2 is connected to a plurality of fluid-operable devices, which at the same time may be mechanical devices or components of equipment. In the embodiment, the working fluid is compressed air.

The valve station 2 is a unitary object that is solid and easy to handle. Since the valve station 2 is excellent in its modular construction, it can be adapted to the operating conditions without problems. The valve station 2 can always be expanded or retrofitted. The valve station 2 comprises two fluid distributors 3, 4 which are arranged in series in the extension direction 5 in a straight line in the exemplary embodiment. Each of the fluid distributors 3 and 4 is provided with at least one valve, mainly a plurality of valves 6 and 7, and the valves 6 and 7 are selector valves (Mehrwegeventile), and the vertical axis of the selector valve is mainly the extension direction 5 It extends at a right angle to. Valve 6,
7 are operated by electrical operation signals and each have at least one valve drive 8, 9. The valve drives 8, 9 have at least one solenoid valve and are formed by electrically operable solenoid valves. The electrical operating signal is provided by the distributor unit 13, which is a component of the valve station 2. A control unit 14 is attached to the distributor unit 13. The control unit 14 is integrated in the distributor unit 13 or constitutes the distributor unit 13 in this embodiment. The distributor unit 13 outputs the operation signal of the control program stored in the control unit 14,
The signals are provided so that the individual valve drives 8, 9 can be received in a fixed order. The control unit 14 includes:
An interface 15 is provided to enable connection with a computer (PC). Other interface 16
Are the inputs and outputs of the fieldbus, which communicate with another valve station.

The distributor unit 13 may be a fieldbus communication unit that does not have its own control program. The fieldbus communication unit communicates with the control unit via the interface 16 and a control signal is generated from the control unit. Further, the distributor unit 13 is a simple 1: 1 signal distributor, and is connected to a control unit (not shown) via a number of electric wires selected by the number of valve driving units 8 and 9 which it has, and many electric wires are connected. It can also be referred to as a multi-pole valve station (not shown) because it is effectively concentrated in the multi-pole cable.

At least one supply line 17, 17 'extending mainly in the extension direction 5 extends in each fluid distributor 3, 4 and at least one supply line 17, 17' extends. A pressure medium can be supplied via the connection ports 21, 21 '. The pressure medium is used as a working fluid for operating the working cylinder 1 or for operating a separately operable fluid-operable device. The medium is, for example, the connection port 21,
21 'via a fluid line 22 connected from a pressure medium source.

Another supply line 23, which each fluid distributor 3 and 4 has, is an associated supply / distributor line 17, 17 '.
Out of the valve / mounting surface 24, 24 'of the fluid distributor 3, 4.
Open with. The further open exhaust line 25 likewise communicates with the exhaust / collection lines 26, 26 ′ which extend inside the associated fluid distributors 3, 4. Through this exhaust / collection line 26, 26 ', the device which can be operated by the connected fluid is exhausted. Eventually, the use device line 27 carried by each fluid distributor 3, 4 is opened on the one hand on the likewise attached mounting surfaces 24, 24 ′ and on the other hand on the connection surface 29, so that the pressure medium It can be connected to the conduit 28. The pressure medium line 28 leads to a fluid-operable device, in this case the working cylinder 1.

The conduit openings in the mounting surface 24 are grouped together. This group opens at the individual mounting positions 31, which are shown in dashed lines in FIG.
Since the valve line communicates with the line opening, valves 6, 7 can be added together with the valve drives 8, 9.

The valve drivers 8 and 9 send the operation signal to the second wiring 3
Received via 2, 32 '. Second wiring 32, 32 '
Mainly extend in the extension direction 5 and likewise effectively extend inside the fluid distributors 3, 4. The second wirings 32, 32 ′ are electrically connected to the distributor unit 13. When the valves 6 and 7 are added to the mounting surface 24, since a suitable electric plug-in connection portion 33 is provided, the second wiring 3 attached at the same time is attached.
2, 32 'can be effectively electrically connected.

In this embodiment, the distributor modules 34, 34 'provided with the fluid distributors 3, 4 and the valves 6, 7 differ in structure from each other. The fluid distributors 3, 4 and the valves 6, 7 are also structurally diverse. In this case, the structure of the fluid distributor is different because the valves 6, 7 are different from each other and different from the basic type. In the present embodiment, since the layout patterns of the valve conduits / openings are different, the layout of the conduit opening groups inside each mounting position 31 is also different. Furthermore, the valve 7 of one distributor module 34 'has a larger capacity than the valve 6 of the other distributor module and thus requires a larger valve conduit cross-section and supply conduit 23 cross-section. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the valve drive 9 of large cross section holds two solenoid valves at the same time, so that the second wire 32 'differs from the case of the small valve 6 of the first distributor module 34. ,
Another connection type is required.

Despite the differing distributor modules 34, 34 'from each other, the valve station 2 is an integrated functional unit. This means that the non-identical fluid distributors 3 of both distributor modules 34, 34 ',
It is attributed to the interposition of an adapter part 35 between the four, which mechanically and fluidly and electrically connects both distributor modules 34, 34 '.

The adapter part 35 of the embodiment is formed as an adapter block having a rectangular parallelepiped outer contour. The two connecting surfaces 36, 36 'on the opposite sides of the component 35 are brought into contact with the end surfaces of the fluid distributors 3, 4 which form the additional surfaces 37, 37' of the associated fluid distributors 3, 4 to be described later. Touching. The mechanical connection is made via suitable connecting elements. Although not shown, the connecting element is mainly a screw.

Since the adapter pipe 38 penetrates inside the adapter part 35 in the extension direction 5 and opens at the connecting surfaces 36 and 36 ', the opening of the adapter pipe 38 is the extension surface 3
7 and 37 'are aligned with the openings of the fluid pipes on the fluid distributor side. In the embodiment, the adapter conduit 38
Forms a supply line 39 which communicates with the distributor lines 17, 17 'of the two fluid distributors 3, 4 of the adapter. The other adapter conduit 38 is used for the exhaust / collecting conduits 26, 2
Form an exhaust line 40 connected to 6 '. In principle, the piping of the adapter conduit 38 is arbitrary, but it is desirable that the length of the adapter conduit is short.

The main point is that the expansion surfaces 37 of the fluid distributors 3 and 4 are
37 is a layout pattern of openings of the adapter conduit 38 of the connecting surfaces 36 and 36 ', which is determined by a layout pattern of conduit openings of 37'. In the present embodiment, in the area of the fluid distributor 4 equipped with a valve 7 which is larger than the valve 6 of the fluid distributor 3, the conduit openings are arranged with a large lateral spacing and within the area of both connecting surfaces 36, 36 '. At, the logical deviation occurs in the conduit opening of the adapter conduit 38. Therefore, extension direction 5
The result is that at least a part of the adapter conduit 38 passing through has a conduit portion 41 extending at a right angle to the extension direction 5.

In this embodiment, the outer cross-sectional contour of the adapter part 35 substantially corresponds to the cross-sectional contour of the larger fluid distributor 4 to which it connects, with the connecting surface 36 'overlapping the extension surface 37'. On the other hand, the cross-sectional area of the fluid distributor 3 on the opposite side is small, and the connecting surface 36 facing the extension surface 37 of the fluid distributor 3
, Of course, only partially overlap, so that the duct opening naturally exists in the overlapping region.

Although it is effective that the distributor unit 13 is directly provided in one of the distributor modules, it is arranged in the distributor module 34 having a small cross section in the present embodiment. The distributor unit 13 includes the fluid distributor 3
Is connected to the extension surface 45 on the side opposite to the adapter part 35 in the extension direction 5 by means of screws or other connecting elements. The distributor unit 13 is also used as a sealing component for the supply / distributor conduit 17 and the exhaust / collecting conduit 26 extending into the fluid distributor 3, and a sealing device can be interposed if necessary.

The penetrating fluid line provided on the opposite side of the adapter part 35 of the fluid distributor 4 is sealed by a cap-shaped sealing part 47 which can be attached to the extension surface 46. The sealing part 47 can be completely sealed, but it is also possible to connect the connection port to the sealed pipeline,
In this case, a pressure medium line, a silencer, etc. can be connected to the connection port (not shown). However, in the embodiment, the sealing component 47 is not directly attached to the extension surface 46, but another adapter component 48 is interposed. Adapter part 48
One end of the adapter conduit 49 penetrating therethrough communicates with the fluid conduit of the fluid distributor 4, and the other end is sealed by a sealing component 47.

By connecting the connection port 21 of the adapter part 35 arranged between two fluid distributors 3 and 4 which are not the same to the supply line 39 of the adapter part 35,
At the same time, the supply / distributor lines 17 and 1 of both fluid distributors 3 and 4
It is connected to 7 '. Therefore, both distributor modules 3
A pressure medium can be supplied to 4, 34 'via the central connection 21. However, in the case of a particularly long valve station 2, the entire central connection port 21 does not sufficiently overlap,
Air consumption may increase. In this case, the pressure medium can be additionally supplied via another connection port 21 ′ of the second adapter part 48. This other connection port 21 ′ is provided on the side of the supply / distributor line 1 opposite to the first adapter part 35.
An adapter line 49 is partially connected to the opening of 7 '. Since the second adapter component 48 is formed in a mirror image with respect to the first adapter component 35, another distributor module (not shown) corresponding to the first distributor module 34 in the basic structure can be added. Furthermore, the second adapter part 48 can be provided with a pipe that can be connected to any connection port of a distributor module that is already held, to a connection port of a different distributor module. By using multiple adapter components, a valve station can be constructed that holds any number of different distributor modules.

In the modular construction with the adjusting function, one or more distributor modules 34, 34 'can be associated with adapter parts 35, 48, respectively. The adapter parts 35, 48 are only associated with the distributor module 34, 34 'for at least one function.
Thus, for example, it is possible to supply the pressure medium only to one fluid distributor via the connection port of one adapter component and to separate the other fluid distributor. As a shape corresponding to this, the supply pipeline 3 shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG.
9 is sealed by a sealing wall 52 in the fluid distributor 4 facing the adapter part 48. The sealing wall 52 may be an integral component of the adapter part 35, but a separable formation, such as a screw plug, may also allow the part to seal or open the fluid passageway as needed. With the passage closed, the pressure medium is only supplied to the distributor module 34 via the adapter part 35.
The pressure medium of the distributor module 34 ', which borders in this case, is supplied via the connection port 21' of the second adapter part 48 or via the connection port 21 'of the connection 47. Also,
In the case of the extended valve station 2, the pressure medium supply takes place via a further subsequent adapter part. in this case,
The valve station 2 can be divided into individual sections and operated at different pressure levels or flow rates.

It is effective to connect all the exhaust / collecting pipelines 26, 26 'of the valve station 2 in series by the pipeline through which the exhaust pipeline 40 of the adapter part 35 penetrates. Of course, a plurality of such exhaust pipe lines may be retained if necessary. However, the adapter component 35 includes at least one exhaust port 53. Since the exhaust port 53 communicates with the exhaust pipe line 25, the exhaust silencer 54 can be directly connected. Of course, a pressure medium path may be connectable to the outlet 53 in order to discharge the collected air.

The second wiring 32, 32 'is connected via an adapter part 35 arranged between the distributor modules 34, 34'.
Electrical connections between them are also made. In the embodiment, the adapter component 3
5 has a first wiring 55 penetrating in the extension direction 5 and opening on both connection surfaces 36, 36 ′, the first wiring 55 being within the connection region for the fluid distributors 3 and 4, both second wirings 32. Three
2'is electrically connected. The electrical plug-in connection device (not shown) provided in the region of the connection point is automatically fitted to each other when the fluid distributor 3 or 4 and the adapter component 35 are added in the extension direction 5.

The first wiring 55 extends into the space of the adapter component 35 that penetrates in a pipe shape (not shown). Of course, in addition to the embodiment thus integrated, the first wiring 55 can be housed outside the adapter component 35, for example, in a separate case. The adapter parts 35 obviously allow the addition of components of the valve station 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the adapter component 35 may be equipped with a controller 56. To switch the valves 6, 7 by the controller 56, the valves 6,
The control pressure of the operation mechanism 7 can be set in advance. The controller 56 can be connected to the supply line 39 on the one hand via a pre-control line 57 extending inside the adapter part 35 and on the other hand to a pre-control line not shown in the fluid distributor 3, 4 by , The fluid distributors 3, 4 lead to valves 6, 7.

The structure of the valve station 2 including the distributor module 58 in which the fluid distributors 3 and 4 are continuously connected in the extension direction 5 is excellent as being particularly suitable for the user. Each of these distributor modules 58 is suitable for mounting at least one valve 6,7. In this embodiment, two valves 6 and 7 are mounted. The distributor module 58 preferably has a block-shaped structure with a rectangular parallelepiped outer contour. Distributor module 58 used
The length of the fluid distributors 3 and 4 is substantially determined by the number of The user can also build valve stations as needed according to the modular construction principle. In this case, different types of distributor modules 58 can be connected to each other by using adapter parts 35, 48. The distributor module 58 has the supply / distribution pipe lines 17, 17 ', the exhaust / collection pipe lines 26, 26', and the second wirings 32, 32 'that penetrate in the extension direction 5. These parts are automatically added in a continuous row at the time of connection, and the area of the connection can be equipped with a sealing device for the fluid line and an electrical plug connection means for the electrical wiring.

The mounting surfaces 24, 24 'of the fluid distributors 3, 4 are provided so as to face the same direction, and the adapter component surface 59 having the exhaust port 53 is also oriented in the same direction. The opening of the device line 27 used to connect the devices and the connection ports 21, 21 'likewise open in the same direction, the corresponding connecting surface 29 being perpendicular to the mounting surfaces 24, 24'. Extend to.
