    专利说明:

    [0001] The invention relates to a control valve for a fluid circulation circuit, particularly for a motor vehicle. It is already known from French patent application No. FR 2870313 a control valve comprising a plug rotating about an axis of rotation. The bushel is received in a housing of revolution arranged in the valve body. In this known control valve, the axial orifice constitutes an inlet channel for the fluid, while the lateral orifices constitute outlet channels for the fluid. The distribution of the fluid through the various output channels is controlled by the angular position taken by the plug which thus forms a regulating member. Such a valve can, moreover, in certain cases of operation of the heat exchange circuit, such as for example a cold start of the engine 20 of the vehicle, be put in a neutral position, that is to say in a position where all the output channels remain closed. Since this position is an exceptional position, which may be dangerous for the operation of the engine if it is unduly prolonged, provision should be made for safety devices in the event that the sealing segment remains, for any reason, blocked in this particular position. A valve discharge device has already been proposed, which opens if the temperature or pressure of the fluid at the inlet exceeds predetermined values. It has thus already been proposed in the literature, on the one hand, valves 30 integrating thermostats and, on the other hand, valves incorporating pressure switches. In practical applications, it is however desirable that the same valve be equipped with these two devices.
    [0002] At the same time, it is desirable to have equipment that is increasingly compact and in which the angular travel of the bushel is minimized. The invention aims to improve the situation and proposes for this purpose a control valve for a fluid circulation circuit, comprising a valve body, delimiting a housing of revolution, and a bushel, adapted to rotate about an axis of rotation. rotating and taking different angular positions to control the distribution of fluid through side ports on a side wall of said housing, said side wall including an opening for discharge of said housing, said discharge opening being configured to supply at least two safety devices of the valve, in particular two safety devices relating respectively to the temperature and the pressure of the fluid. Thus, said discharge opening is common for said two safety devices, which limits the gripping surface for the supply of these safety devices on the housing. In this way, the compactness of the valve can be optimized while ensuring the proper functioning of its safety devices. This configuration also allows to leave free a wide angular section of the housing for positioning the lateral orifices of the valve.
    [0003] According to features of the invention which can be taken alone or in combination: - said discharge opening is open radially on said housing, - said discharge opening defines a slot on said housing, - said slot is formed along a longitudinal extension of housing, - said discharge opening has a constant angular section, especially less than 20 °, or even 10 °, - said body has a cavity extending parallel to said housing of the plug, - said cavity is adapted to house a thermostat, which opens in particular in a first outlet duct of the valve, - said thermostat is disposed close to the housing, in particular vis-à-vis the latter, - said thermostat is disposed in a longitudinal extension of the housing, - said cavity comprises a fluid passage for a pressure switch, - said fluid passage for the pressure switch opens into said first conduit and / or a second d the outlet duct of the valve, - said fluid passage is provided in a radial extension of the housing, - said passage extends longitudinally parallel to said housing, - said fluid passage is adjacent to the thermostat, - said fluid passage is arranged opposite the housing, between said thermostat and said housing, - said fluid passage is defined by a concave flat surface on the valve body, between the housing and the cavity, - the pressure switch is disposed transversely to said cavity, - The pressure switch is arranged vis-à-vis the thermostat, especially just upstream of his seat.
    [0004] According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, said discharge opening has a section open to the passage of the fluid varying according to the angular position of the plug.
    [0005] Said plug preferably has an axial dimension that varies angularly so as to generate variations in the section of said discharge opening as a function of the passage of the plug in front of said lateral orifices. In particular, an upper edge, respectively a lower edge, of the plug 25 comprises number bearings corresponding to the number of orifices in said side wall. The bearings are connected to each other by segments inclined relative to the axial direction. According to another aspect of the invention, the angular sector covered by the plug is greater than or equal to 225 °. This configuration makes it possible to improve the robustness of the design of the valve and the sufficiency of the plating force of the segment against the housing of the valve, in particular by using a spring which makes it possible to move away from each other from the lateral edges. bushel. Advantageously, the lateral edge or edges of the plug are rectilinear, oriented axially. Other features, details and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the following description of an embodiment of the invention with reference to the appended drawing, in which: - Figure 1 is a perspective view of a control valve body for a motor vehicle fluid circulation circuit, according to one embodiment of the invention, FIG. 2 is an axial sectional view of the body of the control valve according to FIG. of its discharge opening, and Figure 3 is a view of the housing of the valve according to Figure 1, showing the plug of the valve partially obstructing the discharge opening of the fluid. It should be noted that the figures expose the invention in detail, said figures can of course be used to better define the invention, if necessary. In addition, like references are used to designate similar or identical elements. With reference to the drawing, in particular to FIG. 1, the invention relates to a control valve 1 for a fluid circulation circuit, in particular a cooling fluid for a motor vehicle, not shown. Said valve 1 comprises a valve body 3 delimiting a housing 5 of revolution for a plug 7, able to rotate about an axis of rotation d. The plug 7 is visible in Figure 3. Figure 1 shows the body 3 of the valve oriented towards the opening of the housing 5, opposite the bottom 9 of the latter. The housing 5 of this valve body, intended to receive the plug 7, is formed by a side wall 13 and a bottom wall 15 of the body, the latter being traversed by an orifice 17 for the passage of an axle. drive the bushel around the axis of rotation d. The side wall 13 is pierced by lateral orifices, or slots 19 which open respectively to the outlet pipes of the valve, not shown.
    [0006] Said plug 7 comprises a segment 21 cooperating with said housing 5. This segment 21 formed at the periphery of the plug 7 is in particular angularly open ring-shaped, as here. Said plug 7 is connected to the axis by means of a drive hub 23, here in the form of a finger.
    [0007] The plug 7 is adapted to take different angular positions in the housing 5 to control the distribution of the fluid through said lateral orifices 19 on the side wall 13 of said housing. Said valve is advantageously configured so that said plug can take any angular position between two end positions.
    [0008] In a preferred application of such a control valve, the side wall 13 has three lateral orifices 19 which form outlet channels and which communicate respectively with three branches that comprises the fluid circulation circuit associated with the valve.
    [0009] This control valve finds particular application in motor vehicle thermal engine cooling circuits. In this case, the axial orifice, forming fluid inlet, is connected to a cooling fluid inlet from the engine, while the three lateral orifices, fluid outlet, are respectively connected to three branches of the circuit. This circuit comprises a first branch which contains a cooling radiator of the engine, a second branch which constitutes a bypass of the cooling radiator and a third branch which contains a heater for heating the passenger compartment. The second branch may include other heat exchangers. According to the invention, said lateral wall 13 comprises an opening 25 for a discharge of said housing 5, configured to feed at least two safety devices 27 of the valve, in particular two safety devices 27 relating respectively to the temperature and the temperature. fluid pressure. This opening 25 is intended in particular to cause a discharge or evacuation of the fluid which is contained in the housing 5 of the valve, in particular when one of its pressure or temperature characteristics exceeds a predetermined value, corresponding to a safety threshold. . Thus, said discharge opening is common for said two safety devices 27, which makes it possible to limit the engagement surface for feeding these safety devices to the housing 5. Said discharge opening 25 is disposed in the the environment of the valve distribution valve 7, which makes it possible to respond rapidly to the need for discharging the fluid of the valve so that its pressure, or its temperature, does not rise excessively, especially in the zero flow position . Said discharge opening 25 is advantageously emitted radially on said housing 5, as here. It is therefore not necessary to provide additional driving for the supply of the safety devices. Said discharge opening 25 delimits in particular a slot on said housing 5, formed along a longitudinal extension of the housing, that is to say substantially parallel to said axis of rotation. Said discharge opening 25 may have a constant angular section s, especially less than 20 ° or 10 °, the housing 5. It extends instead in length, which reduces its angular section s. Such a reduced angular section thus provides space on the periphery of the housing 30 for said lateral openings 19. Said body of the valve comprises, as here, a cavity 29 suitable for housing a thermostat 31, which constitutes the first safety device 27 of the valve. Said cavity 29 can accommodate a mounting member of said thermostat 31.
    [0010] The thermostat 31 opens into a first outlet conduit 33 of the valve to allow said discharge of the fluid, especially in the valve fluid circuit, from the cavity 29 in case of excessive fluid temperature.
    [0011] Preferably, said fluid discharge tends to flow in a fluid circuit comprising a cooling radiator. This thermostat 31 is arranged close to the housing 5, so close to the plug valve 7 of distribution, which allows it to be particularly responsive to a condition of excessive temperature of the fluid in the valve.
    [0012] Said thermostat 31 is advantageously arranged in a longitudinal extension of the housing 5, which confers on said body 3 of the valve a general axial configuration which reduces its lateral dimensioning and therefore its lateral size.
    [0013] Said thermostat 31 is maintained in the cavity 29 by means of a seat 41 coming from the casing of the body 3 of the valve, and a device 42 of force recovery making it suitable for the reversible mounting of said thermostat 31. One of the ends of the thermostat bears against the seat 41 while the other end is connected to said effort recovery device 42. According to an alternative embodiment, the cavity 29 may comprise near the seat 41, a passage (not shown). of permanent fluid flow, of the type of a controlled leakage flow. Such flow tends to improve the thermal sensitivity of the thermostat 31 so that the latter is even more responsive to a condition of excessive temperature of the fluid in the valve, a valve without such a permanent flow passage. Preferably, but in a nonlimiting manner, such a permanent flow passage opens into a portion of the fluid circulation circuit which comprises, by way of example, a throttle body regulating the air flow or a supercharger of an engine, in order to improve the thermal regulation. Said discharge opening further comprises a fluid passage for a pressure switch 37 which constitutes the second safety device 27 of the valve. According to a first embodiment of the valve, the pressure switch 37 opens into said first conduit 33 of the valve outlet. According to a second embodiment of the valve, the pressure switch 37 opens into a second outlet pipe 44 of the valve, better visible in FIG. 2, for said discharge of the fluid, in particular in the circuit of the fluid of the valve forming the for example either a circuit bypass portion of the circuit or a portion of the circuit comprising at least one heat exchanger or equipment of the vehicle to be cooled from said fluid passage, in case of excessive pressure of the fluid. Said fluid passage 35 is formed in a radial extension of the housing 5, while extending longitudinally, which is in the direction of said axial configuration of the valve. Said fluid passage 35 is adjacent to the thermostat 31 and thus makes it possible to have a common supply with the thermostat 31 without its own duct.
    [0014] Said fluid passage 35 is disposed opposite housing 5, between said thermostat 31 and said housing 5, close to the latter. Said passage 35 is thus open on a fluid environment close to the plug 7 of valve distribution and thus conditions the reactivity of the pressure switch 37 to excessive pressure of the fluid in the valve, this in an optimized size. Said fluid passage 35 is defined as here by a concave flat portion 39 on the valve body 3, between the housing 5 and the cavity 29. This flat part 39 is substantially parallel to the axis of the cavity 29. The pressure switch 37 is arranged transversely to the thermostat 31, at the end of said fluid passage 35, as can be seen in FIG. 2. This fluid passage 35 advantageously extends in length to the level of the seat 41 of the thermostat. The pressure switch 37 is advantageously arranged vis-à-vis the thermostat 31, especially just upstream of its seat 41, which enhances the compactness of the assembly. According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, said discharge opening has a section 43 open to the passage of the fluid, see in particular FIG. 3, varying as a function of the angular position of the plug 7. It will thus be possible to provide that said opening in part or totally obstructed if the flow of fluid through the lateral orifices of the valve, in a given angular position of the plug, is sufficient to ensure the safety of the valve. Said plug 7 preferably has an angularly varying axial dimension so as to generate variations in the section 43 of said discharge opening as a function of the passage of the plug 7 in front of said lateral orifices 19. In particular, an upper edge or an edge respectively. lower, of the plug 7 has bearings 45 in number corresponding to both the number of orifices 19 15 in said side wall 13 and the predetermined flow rate of fluid through the outlet orifices 19. The bearings 45 are advantageously connected together to others by segments 47 inclined relative to the axial direction. The variation of the section 43 open to the passage of the fluid thus varies gradually according to the rotation of the plug 7, in particular according to the same progressivity as that of the opening of the corresponding lateral openings. It should be noted that the variation of this fluid open section 43 only affects the valve output rate through said discharge opening in the event of excess or excessive fluid temperature. The angular sector s covered by the bushel 7 is in particular greater than or equal to 225 °. This configuration makes it possible to improve the robustness of the design of the valve and the sufficiency of the plating force of the segment 21 against the housing 5 of the valve, in particular by providing a spring, not shown, separating one of the the other side edges of the segment, which may be provided rectilinear, oriented axially.
    [0015] The arrangement according to the invention makes it possible to secure and make reliable the operation of the valve. The invention thus provides a liquid dispensing valve, of rotary delivery type, which is of secure operation, particularly as regards temperature and pressure, and which is compact, simple, reliable and easy to use. achieve.
