Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve block and a method for cleaning medium supply to a plurality of consumers and a use.
  • the present invention relates to the field of supplying a cleaning medium in distributed systems.
  • Cleaning media such as a washer fluid or compressed air are required in modern vehicles, for example, to clean the front window, the rear window, headlights, but also to clean the increasing number of sensors that provide the vehicle with information about the safety-related driver assistance systems Provide environment.
  • sensors can be, for example, and not limited to, front cameras and rear cameras, distance sensors such as LIDAR (light detec- tion and ranging) or LADAR (laser detection and ranging), and possibly lane departure warning sensors, among other things.
  • LIDAR light detec- tion and ranging
  • LADAR laser detection and ranging
  • lane departure warning sensors among other things.
  • the number of sensors will continue to increase.
  • the safety of vehicle operation also depends on the functionality of the sensors.
  • the invention is based on the task of supplying distributed consumers with one or more cleaning media with high flexibility, low complexity and low overall weight to he possible, and to ensure the functional reliability of vehicle operation even with an increasing number of safety-relevant driver assistance systems up to autonomous vehicles.
  • a valve block for use in a cleaning medium supply to a plurality of consumers comprising at least one cleaning medium supply connection, a plurality of switching valves connected to the at least one cleaning medium supply connection, a control unit which is designed to alternate the switching valves individually and / or to control several of the switching valves at the same time, and a position detection unit which is designed to determine the switching position of at least one switching valve without a sensor.
  • the valve block thus has the functionality to detect the switching position of the switching valves without additional sensors.
  • the switching valves have two defined positions in which cleaning medium, for example a washing liquid or compressed air, is either passed on to a consumer or not.
  • the de-energized idle state is usually a closed state in which an armature is pressed against a valve seat by means of a spring and the valve closes in this way.
  • the switching magnet When a coil of the switching valve is energized, the armature is moved away from the valve seat against the spring force and the valve is thus opened.
  • the switching magnet With sensorless position determination, the switching magnet simultaneously functions as an actuator and sensor, since the change in the switching position and the change in the electromagnetic properties of the switching valve are alternately dependent on one another.
  • the position detection unit can measure the electromagnetic properties, in particular the inductance, of the valve system and thereby detect the switching position.
  • This functionality opens up the possibility of self-diagnosis of the cleaning system and thus the early detection of problems up to system failure.
  • the sensorless position detection in the valve block thus guarantees the functional safety of the vehicle with regard to the contamination of safety-relevant sensors.
  • the position detection unit is designed as part of the control unit.
  • At least one of the switching valves is designed as a switchable pressure relief valve contributes to operational safety.
  • the switchable pressure relief valve is used for safety Relief of the cleaning system when the pressure of the cleaning medium exceeds a pressure set on the pressure relief valve. The cleaning medium is then either released into the environment from the pressure relief valve or returned to a cleaning medium container. Since the pressure relief valve is designed to be switchable, the control unit can also open the pressure relief valve in other situations if this is necessary for operational reasons. Equipping the switchable pressure relief valve with sensorless position detection also enables the system to recognize when the pressure relief valve opens, for example due to excess pressure in the cleaning system.
  • the position detection unit is embodied in embodiments, in particular by means of an LED driver unit, in at least one current measuring circuit, which includes one or more of the switching valves, to feed an, in particular pulse-width-modulated, measurement signal with several pulses, which is dimensioned so that the Position of the switching valve (s) is not influenced, and measuring the course of the current intensity and comparing it with one or more expected values that form a measure of whether and how many of the switching valves in the current measuring circuit are in an open position. If a current pulse is fed into the current measuring circuit that passes through one or more of the coils of the switching valves, the current flowing through the measuring circuit increases with a delay due to the inductance of the coil and armature system.
  • the inductivity of the system also changes. This affects how quickly the measurement current increases in the measurement circuit. The greater the inductance, the slower the current rise. The course or the value of the current in the measuring circuit reached after a certain time is therefore dependent on the position of the armature in the coil and can can be compared with previously determined values.
  • the measurement signal should not be so strong that the armature is actually moved in the coil. Suitable pulse strengths can be determined by suitable measurements in advance of the use.
  • a particularly suitable form of a measurement signal is a sequence of fast and short pulses, each of which only causes a short increase in current, but follows one another so closely that their effect in the current intensity in the measuring circuit cumulates to a value that in the case of a single pulse would lead to a change in position, but not in the sequence of short pulses.
  • Typical values for this are 5 to 15 pulses, for example rectangular pulses, with a frequency of approx. 10 kFIz to 100 kFIz with a pulse duty factor of 20% to 70%. Suitable values depend on the selected coil and armature parameters and can be easily determined in tests.
  • the measurement signals can be superimposed on the actual switching signals from the control unit.
  • the system response of the measuring circuits to the measuring pulses does not depend on whether a switching valve is currently energized or not, but only on the armature position. This can deviate from the current state if the valve has a malfunction.
  • there is a separate current measuring circuit for each switching valve the measurement in each current measuring circuit being carried out individually, in particular in a cyclical sequence via the switching valves, or with regard to a sum signal from all current measuring circuits, with a separate current measuring circuit for at least one switchable overpressure valve is present, which is evaluated on the position of the at least one switchable pressure relief valve.
  • the different variants require different equipped position detection units.
  • the position detection unit can either have its own measuring circuit for each current measuring circuit, or a sum signal is generated from which it is determined whether 0, 1, 2 or more switching valves are open. Since it is known which switching valves should be open at the time of measurement, it can be determined whether these switching valves are also reliably open. Normally, no more than two consumers are supplied with a cleaning medium at the same time, so that this cost-saving embodiment can be sufficient.
  • the switchable pressure relief valve is, however, preferably monitored individually because it is security-relevant for the cleaning system itself.
  • valve block for use in a cleaning medium supply to a plurality of consumers, comprising at least one cleaning medium supply connection, a plurality of switching valves connected to the at least one cleaning medium supply connection and a control unit which is designed to individually control the switching valves to be controlled, the valve block being designed in particular according to an embodiment described above with sensorless valve position detection, the valve block comprising a valve distributor housing with the at least one cleaning medium supply connection and the plurality of switching valves connected to the at least one cleaning medium supply connection, as well as a cover in which the electronic control unit of the valve block is received and which can be assembled with the Ventilvertei ler housing to form the valve block.
  • valve block that centralizes the supply of the consumer with cleaning medium.
  • the valve block has a cleaning medium supply connection through which one or more cleaning media is introduced under pressure into the valve block, as well as a sufficient number of switching valves which distribute the cleaning medium or media to the various consumers.
  • a single high-pressure pump is therefore sufficient to supply all consumers with cleaning medium.
  • the switching valves are activated via the control unit. This is housed in the cover of the valve block, which can be removed from the valve manifold housing, so that maintenance and repair of the valve block can also be carried out easily.
  • valve block as the central switching point for the cleaning medium supply also reduces weight, since the valve block weighs less than the sum of the pumps saved. In addition, weight can also be saved in terms of cabling, since the pumps saved no longer have to be supplied with their own electrical cables.
  • the valve block according to the invention may have a switchable pressure relief valve.
  • the pressure relief valve is designed so that it opens when a preset pressure is exceeded on the side of the cleaning medium supply connection and thus leads to a reduction in the pressure in the cleaning medium supply.
  • it is formed out, for example, in the manner of a safety valve.
  • the pressure relief valve is also designed to be switchable, for example as an electrically operated solenoid valve, so that it can also be activated by the control unit.

  • the switching valves are preferably arranged essentially perpendicular to an orientation of the central supply channel. This ensures a clear and at the same time compact structure, which simplifies the handling of the valve block.
  • valve block Since there is no valve inside due to the two-row arrangement, all valves can be easily reached by hand in order to connect them with the hoses for supplying the consumer.
