Definitions
- the present invention relates to an accelerometric sensor and, more particularly, to such a sensor sensitive to knocking phenomena capable of affecting the operation of an internal combustion engine.
- a knock sensor known from the prior art, comprising a cylindrical metal base 1 of axis X formed of an axial shaft 2 projecting from an annular shoulder 3, the barrel and the shoulder being both traversed by an axial hole 4, the sensor further comprising a plurality of washers passed over the barrel 2 and stacked on the shoulder 3.
- a washer 5 made of electrically insulating material
- a washer 6 made of a piezoelectric material and its electrodes 1 ⁇ , 7 2 each attached to one of its axially spaced end faces
- a second insulating washer 8 a ground washer 9
- an elastic washer 10 and a metal nut 11 screwed onto a thread 12 formed on the barrel 2, the nut tightening all of the washers listed above against the shoulder 3 of the em based.
- the sensor described above can be fixed to an internal combustion engine using a bolt passing through the axial hole 4. It is known that such a sensor is sensitive to forces undergone by the engine along the axis. X, such as vibrations due to the rattling phenomenon, and delivers between the electrodes 7 ⁇ , 7 2 an electrical signal representative of these efforts, the signal resulting from the pressure exerted by the mass 9, accelerated by said efforts, on the washer 6 in piezoelectric material.
- the computer controlling the operation of the engine reacts by reducing the ignition advance angle in an attempt to eliminate this knock. , which could otherwise be responsible in the long run for mechanical damage to the engine.
- the use of a nut to hold the various washers of the sensor on the barrel of the base has various drawbacks.
- the tightening of the nut requires the use of a dynamometric tightening head to establish a predetermined prestress of the piezoelectric washer.
- the stress thus established may vary with the wear of the head and with variations in the geometries of the thread of the nut or of the thread of the barrel, which may in particular be distorted by impact.
- metal shavings can form during the machining of the thread and / or the internal thread.
- a chip 14 thus formed retained in the thread of the barrel or in the thread of the nut, can come off and be inserted between the electrodes 7 ⁇ , 7 2 of the piezoelectric washer 6, thereby establishing a short circuit of these electrodes, which makes the sensor unusable.
- the object of the present invention is to produce an accelerometric sensor, in particular a knock sensor, which is protected from the short-circuit faults mentioned above, and which has a precise adjustment of the preload applied to the piezoelectric washer, this adjustment being ensured by '' good repeatability in mass production.
- the present invention also aims to achieve such a sensor which is inexpensive to manufacture.
- the present invention also aims to provide a method of manufacturing such a sensor.
- an accelerometric sensor comprising a) a cylindrical base formed by an axial shaft projecting from an annular shoulder, all two crossed by an axial hole, b) a washer made of a piezoelectric material passed over the barrel, c) means for drawing the electric voltage existing between two axially spaced faces of said washer, d) an annular mass also passed over the barrel and e) a stop means cooperating with the annular shoulder to clamp between them said washer and said mass.
- the stop means consists of a bead projecting radially from said barrel and formed of the material of a predetermined edge thereof, deformed under axial crushing force of said base.
- this bead does not generate any metal chip capable of establishing a short circuit in the sensor.
- the position of this bead can be precisely determined, which makes it possible to precisely adjust the preload of the piezoelectric washer.
- the present invention also provides a method of manufacturing such a sensor, according to which the washer on the base of the base, around its barrel, the washer made of piezoelectric material and the annular mass, this method being remarkable in that 'is applied to the base, between these two ends, an axial crushing force capable of causing the radial expansion of a section of said barrel in the form of a bead for stopping stacked parts.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of a knock sensor of the prior art, described in preamble to this description
- - Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the manufacturing method according to the invention of an embodiment of the sensor according to the invention
- FIGS. 4 and 5 represent variants of the base of the sensor of FIGS. 2 and 3, and FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a variant of the manufacturing process illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 3.
- FIG. 2 represents the sensor according to the invention, in the stage of its manufacture which immediately precedes the formation of the stop means necessary for the assembly of the various washers stacked on one shoulder 3 of the barrel 1. The latter has then a substantially cylindrical outer surface of revolution.
- a section 2 : of this barrel is hollowed out internally so as to locally thin the wall of the barrel, which has a minimum thickness in a plane P perpendicular to the axis X, the distance D from this plane P to 1 'shoulder 3 being predetermined and fixed precisely for a purpose explained below.
- the plane P constitutes a plane of symmetry for the section 2 ⁇ .
- the various parts 5, 6, ⁇ , 7 2 , 8 and 9 described above are passed around the barrel so that they stack on the shoulder 3 of the base. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the base being placed on a bearing surface 15, a force F of crushing along the axis X is applied to this base, using a tool 16 , for example.
- the force F applied is adjusted as a function of the mechanical resistance of the barrel 2, preferably made of a metal capable of creeping locally under this force, and of the thickness of the barrel in the plane P where this thickness is minimal.
- this minimum thickness defines in this plane a line of weakness of the barrel.
- this precision can be further improved by using the electric voltage which appears between the electrodes 7 ⁇ , 7 2 during the application of the force F, to control the removal of this force when a voltage level predetermined is reached, this level being representative of that of the prestressing exerted on the piezoelectric washer 6 placed between the shoulder 3 and the bead 17.
- the formation of the bead 17 does not generate any chip capable of subsequently creating short-circuits between the electrodes 7 ⁇ , 7 2 .
- the present invention thus greatly reduces the rate of workmanship, which has already been improved by the good repeatability of the prestress adjustment which can be obtained by the means described above.
- FIG. 4 the section 2 2 has an axial section with a changing profile which eliminates the sharp angles from that of the section 2 in FIG. 1, this changing profile being present both on the inner wall and on the outer wall of the barrel.
- the section 2 3 has a straight axial profile on the outside wall of the barrel and an evolving profile on the inside wall, in accordance with that of the section 2 2 in FIG. 4.
- axial lights 18 ⁇ , 18 2 , etc. also distributed circumferentially in section 2 3 . It is understood that each of these lights creates a zone of weakness in the barrel 2 around its central part, zone which allows the collapse of the section 2 3 under axial crushing. It is also understood that the lights 18i can be used alone, in a section of barrel with a wall of constant thickness, or in combination with a wall with an evolving profile as shown in FIG. 5, to create the zone of weakness necessary for the collapse of the section in which they are pierced.
- the base 1 shown comprises a barrel with a constant thickness wall, having an end edge 2 4 which projects from the top of the stack of parts threaded on this barrel.
- a stop bead for the stack of parts 5, 6, 7 ⁇ , 7 2 , 8 and 9 is formed by folding this section 2 4 onto this stack, as shown in FIG. 7, using of a punch 19 having at its end an annular groove 19a whose internal diameter is slightly less than that of the axial hole passing through the base 1.
- the punch 19 penetrates this hole, the edge 24 is pushed back gradually towards the outside of the hole through the groove 19a of the punch, until the material of this slice is spread over the mass 9 in the form of a bead 20 for crimping the pieces threaded on the barrel, between itself and the shoulder 3.
- this embodiment of the sensor according to the invention is economical due to the simplicity of the geometry of the barrel 2 of the base 1.
