Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung mit einer Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung für eine Druckmittel-betätigbare Fahrzeugtüranlage gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an arrangement with a door actuating valve device for a pressure-actuable vehicle door system according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine gattungsgemäße Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung ist aus der DE 10 2007 056 349 A1 bekannt.A generic door actuation valve device is from the DE 10 2007 056 349 A1 known.

Derartige Fahrzeugtüranlagen werden beispielsweise im öffentlichen Personennahverkehr eingesetzt, z.B. in Omnibussen. Die Fahrzeugtür kann dabei durch eine Stelleinrichtung, z.B. einen Druckmittel-beaufschlagbaren Stellzylinder, geöffnet und geschlossen werden. Für die Druckmittelbeaufschlagung des Stellzylinders ist eine Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung vorgesehen, die neben Ihrer Hauptfunktion, dem Steuern der Druckmittelflüsse zum Öffnen und Schließen der Tür, noch eine zusätzliche Funktion zur Notbetätigung aufweist. Die Notbetätigungsfunktion ist gemäß europäischen gesetzlichen Regelungen derart vorgesehen, dass in dem Fahrzeug ein Notbetätigungsventil (so genannter Nothahn) vorhanden ist, der manuell betätigbar ist. Bei Betätigung des Nothahns, der sinnvoller Weise in der Nähe einer Tür im Fahrzeug angeordnet ist, wird die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung von einer Betriebsstellung in eine Notstellung gebracht, in der sie den Stellzylinder im Wesentlichen drucklos macht. Hierdurch wird einerseits jegliche Betätigung der Tür durch das Druckmittel unterbunden, zusätzlich ist die Tür dann mit nur relativ geringem Kraftaufwand manuell zu öffnen.Such vehicle door systems are used for example in public transport, eg in buses. The vehicle door can be opened and closed by an adjusting device, such as a pressure-actuated actuating cylinder. For the pressure medium of the actuating cylinder, a door operating valve device is provided which, in addition to its main function, the control of the pressure fluid flows to open and close the door, has an additional function for emergency operation. The emergency operation function is provided in accordance with European statutory provisions such that in the vehicle an emergency operation valve (so-called emergency valve) is present, which is manually operable. Upon actuation of the emergency maneuver, which is sensibly arranged in the vicinity of a door in the vehicle, the door actuating valve device is brought from an operating position to an emergency position, in which it makes the actuating cylinder substantially depressurized. As a result, on the one hand, any actuation of the door is prevented by the pressure medium, in addition, the door is then open manually with only relatively little effort.

Aus der eingangs genannten DE 10 2007 056 349 A1 ist bekannt, mehrere Notbetätigungsventile über ein und dieselbe Druckluftleitung an denselben Druckmittelanschluss der Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung anzuschließen. Hierdurch kann auf einfache Weise an verschiedenen Stellen des Fahrzeugs, z.B. im Innenraum und an der Außenseite, ein Nothahn vorgesehen werden. Zudem kann in einem sehr lang gebauten Fahrzeug, z.B. einem Gelenkomnibus, an verschiedenen Stellen des Fahrzeugs, nämlich in der Nähe der jeweiligen Türen, ein schnell erreichbarer Nothahn vorgesehen werden.From the above DE 10 2007 056 349 A1 It is known to connect a plurality of emergency actuation valves via one and the same compressed air line to the same pressure medium connection of the door actuation valve device. This can be provided in a simple manner at different points of the vehicle, for example in the interior and on the outside, an emergency valve. In addition, in a very long-built vehicle, such as a Gelenkomnibus, at various points of the vehicle, namely in the vicinity of the respective doors, a quickly accessible emergency valve can be provided.

Die DE4136593A1 betrifft eine pneumatische Türbetätigungsanlage für Fahrzeuge die ein Öffnen der Tür während der Fahrt durch Fahrgäste verhindert. Die Türbetätigungsanlage weist ein Türventil zum Überwachen der Drücke zumindest in der Schließkammer eine Türbetätigungszylinders auf. Das Türventil ist mittels Druckimpuls durch eine erste Steuerleitung schaltbar, in der ein fahrerbetätigt ansteuerbares Vorsteuerventil angeordnet ist. An das Vorsteuerventil ist eine zweite Steuerleitung angeschlossen, in der ein im Fahrgastraum angeordneter Nothahn zum Erzeugen eines Druckimpulses liegt. Es ist außerdem ein Sperrventil vorgesehen zum fahrergeschwindigkeitsabhängigen Sperren der Ansteuerung des Türventils.The DE4136593A1 relates to a pneumatic door actuation system for vehicles which prevents opening the door while driving by passengers. The door operating system has a door valve for monitoring the pressures at least in the closing chamber of a door operating cylinder. The door valve can be switched by means of a pressure pulse through a first control line, in which a driver-actuated pilot valve is arranged. To the pilot valve, a second control line is connected, in which a arranged in the passenger compartment emergency valve for generating a pressure pulse is located. It is also a check valve provided for the driver speed-dependent locking the control of the door valve.

Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung anzugeben, die eine größere Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Notbetätigung durch mehr als ein Notbetätigungsventil ermöglicht.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to provide a door actuation valve device that allows greater flexibility with respect to the emergency operation by more than one Notbetätigungsventil.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die mit Patentanspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst. Die Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung an.This object is achieved by the invention specified in claim 1. The dependent claims indicate advantageous developments of the invention.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, eine definiert trennbare, d.h. abschaltbare, Aktivierung der Notstellung durch verschiedene Notbetätigungsventile zu ermöglichen. Durch das Vorsehen eines ersten und eines zweiten Druckmittelanschlusses für Notbetätigungsventile an der Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung, die gegeneinander sperrbar bzw. drosselbar sind, wird eine vorteilhafte Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung angegeben, die aufgrund der Integration dieser Funktionalität in einem Ventilgehäuse eine einfache Einsetzbarkeit in bekannte Fahrzeugtüranlagen erlaubt. Insbesondere kann der Aufwand und die Kosten für eine zusätzliche Verrohrung mit Druckmittelleitungen oder Verkabelung elektrischer Leitungen vermieden bzw. erheblich reduziert werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung erlaubt damit eine kostengünstige Realisierung von Fahrzeugtüranlagen.The invention has the advantage of providing a definable separable, i. deactivatable, enabling the emergency position by various emergency actuation valves. By providing a first and a second pressure medium connection for emergency actuation valves on the door actuation valve device, which can be locked or throttled against each other, an advantageous door actuation valve device is specified, which allows a simple applicability in known vehicle door systems due to the integration of this functionality in a valve housing. In particular, the cost and the cost of an additional piping with pressure medium lines or cabling electrical lines can be avoided or significantly reduced. The door actuation valve device according to the invention thus allows a cost-effective implementation of vehicle door systems.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist der zweite Druckmittelanschluss für das zweite Notbetätigungsventil gegenüber dem ersten Druckmittelanschluss drosselbar oder sperrbar. Mit einer Sperrbarkeit wird eine vollständige Trennung zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Druckmittelanschluss bezeichnet. Die Erfindung ist jedoch auch mit einer nicht vollständigen Trennung vorteilhaft einsetzbar, nämlich mit einer gedrosselten Verbindung zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Druckmittelanschluss. Die Auswahl des Durchlassquerschnitts der Drosselstelle ist dabei je nach Auslegung der Kraftfahrzeugtüranlage vorzunehmen, wobei der Durchlassquerschnitt naturgemäß tendenziell relativ klein auszugestalten ist.According to the invention, the second pressure medium connection for the second emergency actuation valve can be throttled with respect to the first pressure medium connection or lockable. With a blocking capability is meant a complete separation between the first and the second pressure medium connection. However, the invention can also be advantageously used with incomplete separation, namely with a throttled connection between the first and the second pressure medium connection. The selection of the passage cross section of the throttle point is to make depending on the design of the motor vehicle door system, the passage cross-section is naturally tend to be relatively small design.

Die Verwendung einer Drossel statt einer vollständigen Sperrung hat den Vorteil, dass auch im Fall einer unsachgemäßen Betätigung des zweiten Notbetätigungsventils, z.B. durch spielende Kinder, permanent ein gewisser geringer Druckmittelfluss durch die Drosselstelle zu dem zweiten Notbetätigungsventil hin möglich ist. Hierdurch kann ein unerwünschtes Auslösen der Notstellung beim Aufheben der Sperrung bzw. Drosselung zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Druckmittelanschluss vermieden werden, wenn das zweite Notbetätigungsventil rechtzeitig vor dieser Umschaltung wieder in die unbetätigte Stellung verbracht wurde und die Druckmittelleitungen zu dem zweiten Notbetätigungsventil über die Drosselstelle wieder auf einen ausreichenden Druck, der nicht zur Auslösung der Notstellung führt, befüllt wurden. Hierdurch kann ein unerwünschtes Auslösen der Notstellung durch ein zeitlich relativ weit zurückliegendes unsachgemäßes Betätigen des zweiten Notbetätigungsventils und eine im Falle einer vollständigen Sperrung dadurch hervorgerufene "gespeicherte" Druckverminderung der Druckleitungen vermieden werden.The use of a throttle rather than a full stop has the advantage that even in the case of improper operation of the second emergency valve, e.g. by playing children, a certain small pressure fluid flow through the throttle point to the second emergency valve is permanently possible out. In this way, an undesired triggering of the emergency position when canceling the blockage or throttling between the first and the second pressure medium connection can be avoided if the second emergency valve was returned to the unactuated position in good time before this switch and the pressure medium lines to the second emergency control valve on the throttle again to a sufficient pressure, which does not lead to the triggering of the emergency position, have been filled. In this way, an undesired triggering of the emergency position by a time relatively far past improper actuation of the second emergency operating valve and in the case of a complete block thereby caused "stored" pressure reduction of the pressure lines can be avoided.

Gemäß der Erfindung weist die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung ein Sperrventil auf. Das Sperrventil weist eine Durchlassstellung und eine Sperr-/Drosselstellung auf. Insofern hat das Sperrventil die Funktion eines Sperr-/Drosselventils, soll aber zwecks sprachlicher Vereinfachung nachfolgend nur als Sperrventil bezeichnet werden. Die Verwendung eines solchen Sperrventils mit zwei Stellungen erlaubt eine einfache Realisierung der erfindungsgemäßen Sperrung oder Drosselung des zweiten Druckmittelanschlusses gegenüber dem ersten Druckmittelanschluss.According to the invention, the door operating valve means comprises a check valve. The check valve has a passage position and a lock / throttle position. In this respect, the check valve has the function of a shut-off / throttle valve, but will be referred to linguistic simplification hereinafter only as a check valve. The use of such a check valve with two positions allows a simple Realization of the blocking or throttling according to the invention of the second pressure medium connection with respect to the first pressure medium connection.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Sperrventil in das Ventilgehäuse der Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung integriert. Dies erlaubt vorteilhaft eine kostengünstige Realisierung der Erfindung durch Integration weniger zusätzlicher Bauteile in dem Ventilgehäuse, d.h. in einem Ventilblock einer Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung. Das Sperrventil kann beispielsweise in Form eines Membranventils realisiert werden. Die Integration des Sperrventils in das Ventilgehäuse hat weiterhin den Vorteil, dass keine externe Verlegung von Druckmittelleitungen oder elektrischen Leitungen erforderlich ist. Sämtliche erforderlichen Druckmittelkanäle, auch für die Betätigung des Sperrventils, können in dem Ventilgehäuse vorgesehen sein.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the check valve is integrated into the valve housing of the door actuating valve device. This advantageously allows a cost effective implementation of the invention by incorporating fewer additional components in the valve housing, i. in a valve block of a door operating valve device. The check valve can be realized for example in the form of a diaphragm valve. The integration of the check valve in the valve housing has the further advantage that no external installation of pressure medium lines or electrical lines is required. All required pressure fluid channels, also for the actuation of the check valve, may be provided in the valve housing.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung wenigstens ein Schließsteuerventil, ein Öffnungssteuerventil und ein Kraftlossteuerventil auf. Das Schließsteuerventil dient zur Auslösung des Schließens der Fahrzeugtür, indem die Stelleinrichtung in Schließrichtung betätigt wird. Das Öffnungssteuerventil dient zur Auslösung des Öffnens der Fahrzeugtür, in dem die Stelleinrichtung in Öffnungsrichtung der Tür betätigt wird. Das Kraftlossteuerventil dient zum schnellen Abbremsen einer sich bewegenden Tür, z.B. bei Erkennung eines Hindernisses im Bereich der Türschwenkbewegung. Bei einer Betätigung des Kraftlossteuerventils kann die Tür manuell bewegt werden, allerdings mit erhöhtem Kraftaufwand im Vergleich zur Notstellung. Insofern hat das Kraftlossteuerventil die Funktion einer Neutralisierung der die Fahrzeugtür bewegenden Stelleinrichtung, so dass das Kraftlossteuerventil auch als Neutralisierungssteuerventil bezeichnet werden könnte. Der durch die Betätigung des Kraftlossteuerventils eingenommene Schaltzustand kann für Sicherheitseinrichtungen zur Vermeidung von Unfällen durch im Schwenkbereich der Tür befindliche Personen oder Gegenstände benutzt werden.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the door actuating valve device has at least one closing control valve, an opening control valve and a powerless control valve. The closing control valve is used to trigger the closing of the vehicle door by the adjusting device is actuated in the closing direction. The opening control valve is used to trigger the opening of the vehicle door, in which the actuating device is actuated in the opening direction of the door. The powerless control valve is used to quickly slow down a moving door, eg when detecting an obstacle in the door pivoting movement. Upon actuation of the powerless control valve, the door can be moved manually, but with increased effort compared to the emergency position. In this respect, the powerless control valve has the function of neutralizing the vehicle door moving adjusting device, so that the powerless control valve could also be referred to as a neutralization control valve. The switching state assumed by the operation of the powerless control valve can be used for safety devices to prevent accidents by persons or objects in the swivel range of the door.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung durch eine Betätigung des Kraftlossteuerventils von der Notstellung in die Betriebsstellung bringbar. Das Kraftlossteuerventil realisiert damit eine Rücksetzfunktion für die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung. Vorteilhaft wird hierdurch die Funktion des Kraftlossteuerventils für eine weitere Funktion, neben der zuvor erläuterten Sicherheitsfunktion, mitverwendet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass keine zusätzlichen Elemente für die Rücksetzung der Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung von der Notstellung in die Betriebsstellung erforderlich sind, wie etwa ein zusätzliches Magnetventil. Vorteilhaft kann das Kraftlossteuerventil auch noch für eine weitere, dritte Funktion mitverwendet werden, wie z.B. die aus der DE 196 45 701 A1 bekannte Betätigung einer Auslassdrossel.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the door operating valve device can be brought by an operation of the powerless control valve from the emergency position to the operating position. The powerless control valve thus realizes a reset function for the door operating valve device. Advantageously, the function of the powerless control valve for a further function, in addition to the previously explained safety function, thereby used. This has the advantage that no additional elements for the reset of the door operating valve device from the emergency position to the operating position are required, such as an additional solenoid valve. Advantageously, the powerless control valve can also be used for another, third function, such as those from the DE 196 45 701 A1 known operation of an outlet throttle.

Das Schließsteuerventil, das Öffnungssteuerventil und das Kraftlossteuerventil können vorteilhaft als elektrisch betätigbare Magnetventile ausgebildet sein. Die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung wird dann vorteilhaft in Verbindung mit einer elektronischen Steuereinrichtung betrieben, die die gesamte Türsteuerung nach einprogrammierten Algorithmen ausführt.The closing control valve, the opening control valve and the powerless control valve may advantageously be designed as electrically actuated solenoid valves. The door actuation valve device is then advantageously operated in conjunction with an electronic control device which executes the entire door control according to programmed algorithms.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Sperrventil derart mit dem Schließsteuerventil verbunden, das bei einer Betätigung des Schließsteuerventils auch das Sperrventil betätigt ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass für die Betätigung des Sperrventils kein Aufwand an zusätzlichen Bauteilen erforderlich ist, insbesondere kein zusätzliches Magnetventil verwendet werden muss, sondern auf die in einer Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung ohnehin vorhandenen Ventile zurückgegriffen werden kann. Vorteilhaft wird dem Schließsteuerventil somit eine Doppelfunktion zugeordnet, nämlich einerseits das Steuern des Schließens der Tür und andererseits das Betätigen des Sperrventils. Die Erfinder haben nämlich erkannt, dass das Schließsteuerventil vorteilhaft für eine solche Doppelfunktion verwendet werden kann, ohne dass es zu Funktionskonflikten mit der ursprünglichen Funktion des Schließsteuerventils zur Steuerung des Schließens der Tür kommt. Ein Sperren oder Drosseln des zweiten Druckmittelanschlusses gegenüber dem ersten Druckmittelanschluss ist nämlich nur bei geschlossener Fahrzeugtür erforderlich.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the check valve is connected to the closing control valve, which is actuated upon actuation of the closing control valve and the check valve. This has the advantage that no effort on additional components is required for the operation of the check valve, in particular no additional solenoid valve must be used, but can be used on the already existing in a door actuation valve device valves. Advantageously, the closure control valve is thus assigned a double function, namely, on the one hand, controlling the closing of the door and, on the other hand, actuating the blocking valve. Namely, the inventors have recognized that the closure control valve can be advantageously used for such a dual function without conflicting with the original function of the closing control valve for controlling the closing of the door. A lock or throttling the second pressure medium connection with respect to the first pressure medium connection is required only when the vehicle door is closed.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung wenigstens ein Notsteuerventil auf, mit dem in Folge einer Druckverminderung an wenigstens einem der ersten und/oder zweiten Druckmittelanschlüsse die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung in die Notstellung bringbar ist. Das Notsteuerventil ist somit durch eine Mehrzahl von Notbetätigungsventilen betätigbar, wobei es eine von einem Notbetätigungsventil hervorgerufene Druckverminderung einer Druckmittelleitung umsetzt in eine Aktivierung der Notstellung der Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung. In Verbindung mit der erfindungsgemäßen Drosselung oder Sperrung des zweiten Druckmittelanschlusses gegenüber dem ersten Druckmittelanschluss versteht sich, dass im Falle der Sperrung oder Drosselung eine Betätigung des mit dem zweiten Druckmittelanschluss verbundenen Notbetätigungsventils nicht zu einer hinreichenden Druckverminderung in der Druckmittelleitung führt und somit das Notsteuerventil nicht zum Aktivieren der Notstellung veranlasst wird. Erst nach Aufhebung der Drosselung oder Sperrung kann auch über den zweiten Druckmittelanschluss die Notstellung aktiviert werden.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the door actuation valve device has at least one emergency control valve, with which the door actuation valve device can be brought into the emergency position as a result of a pressure reduction at at least one of the first and / or second pressure medium connections. The emergency control valve is thus actuated by a plurality of Notbetätigungsventilen, wherein it implements a caused by an emergency actuation valve pressure reduction of a pressure medium line in an activation of the emergency position of the door operating valve device. In connection with the throttling or blocking of the second pressure medium connection according to the invention compared with the first pressure medium connection, it is understood that in the case of blocking or throttling, actuation of the emergency operating valve connected to the second pressure medium connection does not lead to a sufficient pressure reduction in the pressure medium line and thus the emergency control valve is not activated the emergency position is initiated. Only after cancellation of the throttling or blocking the emergency position can be activated via the second pressure medium connection.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Notsteuerventil als 3/2-Wegeventil ausgebildet. Dies erlaubt einen konstruktiv einfachen und somit kostengünstigen Aufbau des Notsteuerventils.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the emergency control valve is designed as a 3/2-way valve. This allows a structurally simple and thus cost-effective design of the emergency control valve.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Notsteuerventil derart mit dem Kraftlossteuerventil verbunden, dass bei einer Betätigung des Kraftlossteuerventils ein Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig des Notsteuerventils druckbeaufschlagt ist. Vorteilhaft ist dem Notsteuerventil hierbei ein Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig zugeordnet, der z.B. gemäß DE 10 2007 069 349 A1 derart ausgebildet sein kann, dass der dem Druckmittelanschluss für die Stelleinrichtung zugewandte Anschluss des Notsteuerventils über eine Druckmittelleitung auf einen Druckmittelsteueranschluss des Notsteuerventils zurückgeführt wird. Sofern dieser Druckmittelzweig Druck beaufschlagt ist, hält sich das Notsteuerventil in seiner diesbezüglichen Schaltstellung. Erst durch die Druckverminderung in diesem Druckmittelzweig, beispielsweise durch eines der Notbetätigungsventile, wird die Selbsthaltung aufgehoben und das Notsteuerventil z.B. durch Federkraft in seine zweite Stellung umgeschaltet. Durch die Verbindung des Notsteuerventils mit dem Kraftlossteuerventil derart, dass bei einer Betätigung des Kraftlossteuerventils der Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig druckbeaufschlagt ist, kann in einfacher Weise eine Umstellung der Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung von der Notstellung in die Betriebsstellung erfolgen, und zwar durch die zuvor erläuterte Betätigung des Kraftlossteuerventils.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the emergency control valve is connected to the powerless control valve such that upon actuation of the powerless control valve, a self-holding pressure medium branch of the emergency control valve is pressurized. Advantageously, the emergency control valve in this case a self-holding pressure medium branch is assigned, for example, according to DE 10 2007 069 349 A1 may be formed such that the pressure medium connection for the actuator facing port of the emergency control valve is returned via a pressure medium line to a pressure medium control port of the emergency control valve. If this pressure medium branch pressure is applied, the emergency control valve keeps in this regard switching position. Only by the pressure reduction in this pressure fluid branch, for example by one of the emergency actuation valves, the latching is canceled and the emergency control valve, for example, switched by spring force to its second position. By connecting the emergency control valve with the powerless control valve such that upon actuation of the powerless control valve, the self-holding pressure medium branch is pressurized, a conversion of the door operating valve device from the emergency position to the operating position can be carried out in a simple manner, by the above-described operation of the powerless control valve.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung wenigstens ein Notsteuerventil mit einem Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig auf, wobei durch eine Druckverminderung in dem Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig in Folge einer Druckverminderung an wenigstens einem der ersten und/oder zweiten Druckmittelanschlüsse die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung in die Notstellung bringbar ist. Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung weist der Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig eine Drossel auf. Durch die Drosselung im Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig kann vorteilhaft eine definierte Auslösung der Notstellung durch die Notbetätigungsventile erfolgen, da die Drossel ein Nachströmen des Druckmittels mindert und es somit zu einem definierten Druckabfall an dem Druckmittelsteueranschluss des Notsteuerventils kommt. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Durchlassquerschnitt der Drossel im Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig größer als der Durchlassquerschnitt des Sperrventils in der Sperr-/Drosselstellung. Durch eine solche Wahl der Drosselquerschnitte ist eine definierte funktionale Abtrennung des Notbetätigungsventils am zweiten Druckmittelanschluss trotz Verwendung einer eigentlich eine Druckmittelströmung erlaubenden Drossel in dem Sperrventil möglich. Die Drossel in dem Sperrventil ist jedoch im Vergleich zu der Drossel in dem Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig so klein gewählt, dass bei in der Sperr-/Drosselstellung befindlichem Sperrventil das zweite Notbetätigungsventil keine ausreichende Druckabsenkung am Druckmittelsteueranschluss des Notsteuerventils hervorrufen kann und damit nicht die Notstellung auslösen kann. Der Durchlassquerschnitt der Drossel im Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig im Verhältnis zum Durchlassquerschnitt des Sperrventils in der Sperr-/Drosselstellung kann vorteilhaft im Bereich von 3:1 bis 4:1 liegen.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the door actuation valve device has at least one emergency control valve with a self-holding pressure medium branch, wherein the door actuation valve device can be brought into the emergency position by a pressure reduction in the self-holding pressure medium branch as a result of a pressure reduction on at least one of the first and / or second pressure medium connections. According to a further advantageous development, the self-holding pressure medium branch has a throttle. Due to the throttling in the self-holding pressure medium branch, a defined release of the emergency position can advantageously be effected by the emergency actuation valves, since the throttle reduces a subsequent flow of the pressure medium and thus there is a defined pressure drop at the pressure medium control connection of the emergency control valve. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the passage cross-section of the throttle in the self-holding pressure medium branch is greater than the passage cross-section of the check valve in the blocking / throttle position. By such a choice of the throttle cross-sections, a defined functional separation of the emergency actuation valve at the second pressure medium connection is possible despite the use of a choke actually allowing a pressure medium flow in the check valve. However, the throttle in the check valve is branched compared to the throttle in the self-holding pressure medium branch chosen so small that when located in the blocking / throttle position check valve, the second emergency actuation valve can not cause sufficient pressure drop at the pressure medium control port of the emergency control valve and thus can not trigger the emergency position. The passage cross section of the throttle in the self-holding pressure medium branch in relation to the passage cross section of the check valve in the blocking / throttle position can advantageously be in the range from 3: 1 to 4: 1.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung eine von dem Kraftlossteuerventil betätigbare Auslassdrosselanordnung zur gedrosselten Druckverminderung in der Stelleinrichtung auf. Vorteilhaft weist die Auslassdrosselanordnung eine erste und eine zweite Auslassdrossel auf, die über jeweils separate Druckmittelleitungen zu einer Drucksenke, z. B. einem Entlüftungsanschluss, geführt sind. Die Auslassdrosseln dienen der Realisierung einer so genannten Endlagendämpfung der Stelleinrichtung, was bedeutet, dass bei einem Betätigen der Stelleinrichtung die Verstellung zunächst mit hoher Stellgeschwindigkeit erfolgt, im Bereich der Endlagen (offene Tür oder geschlossene Tür) die Bewegung aber verlangsamt werden soll und somit zu dämpfen ist, um einen sanften Übergang in die jeweilige Endstellung der Tür zu ermöglichen. Eine solche Verlangsamung ist durch eine Dämpfung des Auslassens von Druckmittel über eine Drossel erzielbar. Vorteilhaft sind zwei separate Auslassdrosseln vorgesehen, wobei jeweils eine Auslassdrossel einer jeweiligen Endlage der Stelleinrichtung zugeordnet ist. Dies ermöglicht eine jeweils für die jeweilige Endlage angepasste Endlagendämpfung z. B. durch Justierung des Durchlassquerschnitts der jeweiligen Auslassdrossel. Hierdurch ist die erfindungsgemäße Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung noch flexibler anwendbar.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the door actuating valve device has an outlet throttle arrangement which can be actuated by the powerless control valve for the throttled pressure reduction in the actuating device. Advantageously, the Auslassdrosselanordnung on a first and a second outlet throttle, which in each case via separate pressure medium lines to a pressure sink, z. B. a vent port, are guided. The exhaust throttles serve to realize a so-called end position damping of the adjusting device, which means that when actuating the adjusting device, the adjustment initially takes place at a high actuating speed, but in the region of the end positions (open door or closed door) the movement is to be slowed down and thus damped is to allow a smooth transition into the respective end position of the door. Such a slowdown can be achieved by damping the discharge of pressure medium via a throttle. Advantageously, two separate outlet throttles are provided, wherein in each case one outlet throttle is assigned to a respective end position of the actuating device. This allows for each end position adapted end position damping z. B. by adjusting the passage cross section of the respective outlet throttle. As a result, the door actuating valve device according to the invention is even more flexible applicable.

Weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung betreffen eine Fahrzeugtüranlage mit der erfindungsgemäßen Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung sowie ein Fahrzeug mit einer solchen Fahrzeugtüranlage.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention relate to a vehicle door system with the door actuation valve device according to the invention and a vehicle with such a vehicle door system.

Die Erfindung kann vorteilhaft mit jeder Art von Druckmittel, wie z.B. Druckluft, eingesetzt werden.The invention may be used advantageously with any type of pressure means, e.g. Compressed air, are used.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Verwendung einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Im Ausführungsbeispiel wird von Druckluft als Druckmittel ausgegangen.The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment using a drawing. In the exemplary embodiment, compressed air is assumed as the pressure medium.

Die Figur 1 zeigt ein Schaltschema einer pneumatisch betätigbaren Fahrzeugtüranlage.The FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of a pneumatically actuated vehicle door system.

In der Figur 1 werden Druckmittelleitungen durch gestrichelte und durchgehende Linien dargestellt. Die durchgehenden Linien bezeichnen Arbeitsdruck führende Druckmittelleitungen, die gestrichelten Linien bezeichnen Steuerdruck führende Druckmittelleitungen. Durch strichpunktierte Linien werden ferner bestimmte Anordnungen einzelner Ventile gruppiert, die in einem bestimmten Zusammenhang miteinander stehen.In the FIG. 1 Pressure medium lines are represented by dashed and solid lines. The solid lines indicate working pressure leading pressure medium lines, the dashed lines indicate control pressure leading pressure medium lines.

Die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung 1 weist einen Druckmittelvorratsanschluss 11 auf, der zum Verbinden mit einem Druckmittelvorrat, z. B. einem Druckluftbehälter, vorgesehen ist.The door operating valve device 1 has a pressure fluid supply connection 11, which is for connecting to a pressure medium supply, for. B. a compressed air tank, is provided.

In dem Ventilgehäuse der Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung 1 sind die Druckmittelanschlüsse 22, 23 mit einem Türventil 13 verbunden. Das Türventil 13 weist ein Türöffnungsventil 14 und ein Türschließventil 15 auf. Das Türöffnungsventil 14 und Türschließventil 15 sind jeweils als 3/2-Wege Ventile ausgebildet, die durch jeweilige Steuerdrücke in die eine oder andere Stellung geschaltet werden können. Zusätzlich stehen die Ventile 14, 15 über jeweilige Stößel 19, 29 miteinander mechanisch in Wirkverbindung, derart, dass eine Betätigung des Türöffnungsventils 14 durch ein Öffnungssteuerventil 10 über die Stößel 19, 29 ein Stellen des Türschließventils 15 in die in der Figur 1 dargestellte Einlass-Stellung bewirkt. Umgekehrt führt eine Betätigung des Türschließventils 15 durch Steuerdruckbeaufschlagung von einem Schließsteuerventil 20 zu einem Stellen des Türöffnungsventils 14, ausgelöst über die Stößeln 19, 29, in die in der Figur 1 dargestellte Einlass-Stellung.In the valve housing of the door actuating valve device 1, the pressure medium connections 22, 23 are connected to a door valve 13. The door valve 13 has a door opening valve 14 and a door closing valve 15. The door opening valve 14 and door closing valve 15 are each formed as 3/2-way valves, which by respective control pressures in one or the other position can be switched. In addition, the valves 14, 15 via respective plungers 19, 29 with each other mechanically in operative connection, such that actuation of the door opening valve 14 by an opening control valve 10 via the plunger 19, 29 a place of the door closing valve 15 in the in FIG. 1 shown inlet position causes. Conversely, an actuation of the door closing valve 15 by control pressurization from a closing control valve 20 to a position of the door opening valve 14, triggered by the plungers 19, 29, in the in the FIG. 1 illustrated inlet position.

Zur Druckmittelbetätigung des Türöffnungsventils 14 dient das elektrisch ansteuerbare, als 3/2-Wege Magnetventil ausgebildete Öffnungssteuerventil 10. Analog hierzu ist zur Druckmittelbetätigung des Türschließventils das ebenfalls als elektrisch betätigbares als 3/2-Wege Magnetventil ausgeführte Schließsteuerventil 20 vorgesehen. Bei entsprechender Betätigung des Öffnungssteuerventils bzw. des Schließsteuerventils gibt dieses einen Vorratsdruck von dem Druckmittelvorratsanschluss 11 auf den jeweiligen Druckmittelsteuereingang des Türöffnungsventils 14 bzw. des Türschließventils 15, wodurch das Türöffnungsventil 14 bzw. das Türschließventil 15 in eine Auslass-Stellung gestellt wird. Zur Betätigung sowohl des Türschließventils 15 als auch des Türöffnungsventils 14 in die entgegengesetzte Richtung, d.h. zum Stellen in die Einlass-Stellung, ist ein Kraftlossteuerventil 12 vorgesehen, das ebenfalls als elektrisch betätigbares 3/2-Wege Magnetventil ausgebildet ist. Das Kraftlossteuerventil 12 ist ausgangsseitig mit jeweiligen zweiten Druckmittelsteueranschlüssen der Ventile 14, 15 verbunden. Durch Betätigung des Kraftlossteuerventils 12 werden das Türöffnungsventil 14 und Türschließventil 15 in ihre jeweilige in der Figur 1 dargestellte Einlass-Stellung geschaltet.For the pressure medium actuation of the door opening valve 14, the electrically controllable, designed as a 3/2-way solenoid valve opening control valve 10 is used. Analogous to this is provided for pressure fluid actuation of the door closing valve which is also designed as electrically actuated as a 3/2-way solenoid valve closing control valve 20. Upon appropriate actuation of the opening control valve or the closing control valve, this supplies a supply pressure from the pressure fluid supply connection 11 to the respective pressure medium control input of the door opening valve 14 or the door closing valve 15, whereby the door opening valve 14 or the door closing valve 15 is placed in an outlet position. For actuating both the door closing valve 15 and the door opening valve 14 in the opposite direction, that is, for placing in the inlet position, a Kraftlossteuerventil 12 is provided, which is also designed as an electrically actuated 3/2-way solenoid valve. The powerless control valve 12 is connected on the output side to respective second pressure medium control ports of the valves 14, 15. By operating the Kraftlossteuerventils 12, the door opening valve 14 and door closing valve 15 in their respective in the FIG. 1 shown inlet position switched.

Das Türöffnungsventil 14 und das Türschließventil 15 ist über eine Druckmittelleitung 39 über ein Notsteuerventil 34 mit dem Druckmittelvorratsanschluss 11 verbunden. Hierüber kann Druckmittel aus dem Druckmittelvorrat in die jeweilige Kammer des Stellzylinders 2 geführt werden, sofern das Türöffnungsventil 14 bzw. das Türschließventil 15 in der Einlass-Stellung ist.The door opening valve 14 and the door closing valve 15 is connected via a pressure medium line 39 via an emergency control valve 34 with the pressure medium supply port 11. About this pressure medium from the pressure medium supply can be performed in the respective chamber of the actuating cylinder 2, if the door opening valve 14 and the door closing valve 15 is in the inlet position.

Sofern das Türöffnungsventil 14 von dem Öffnungssteuerventil 10 betätigt wird, wird das Türöffnungsventil 14 in seine Auslass-Stellung gebracht. In dieser Schaltstellung ist der Druckmittelanschluss 23 über das Türöffnungsventil 14 mit einem Entlüftungsanschluss 3 einer steuerbaren Auslassdrosselanordnung 16 verbunden. Aufgrund der mechanischen Kopplung über die Stößel 19, 29 ist dann das Türschließventil 15 in der Einlass-Stellung und somit der Druckmittelanschluss 22 über das Türschließventil 15 mit der Druckmittelleitung 39 und damit, bei entsprechender Stellung des Notsteuerventils 34, mit dem Druckmittelvorratsanschluss 11 verbunden. Der Stellzylinder 2 wird dann in Folge der Druckbeaufschlagung ausgefahren.If the door opening valve 14 is operated by the opening control valve 10, the door opening valve 14 is brought to its outlet position. In this switching position, the pressure medium connection 23 is connected via the door opening valve 14 to a venting connection 3 of a controllable outlet throttle arrangement 16. Due to the mechanical coupling via the plungers 19, 29 then the door closing valve 15 in the inlet position and thus the pressure medium connection 22 via the door closing valve 15 to the pressure medium line 39 and thus, with a corresponding position of the emergency control valve 34, connected to the pressure medium supply port 11. The actuating cylinder 2 is then extended as a result of the pressurization.

Bei einer Betätigung des Türschließventils 15 durch das Schließsteuerventil 20 wird der Druckmittelanschluss 22 über das Türschließventil 15 mit einem Entlüftungsanschluss der Auslassdrosselanordnung 16 verbunden und somit entlüftet. Über die mechanische Kopplung über die Stößel 19, 29 wird das Türöffnungsventil 14 dann in die Einlass-Stellung gebracht, in der es den Druckmittelanschluss 23 mit der Druckmittelleitung 39 und entsprechend mit dem Druckmittelvorratsanschluss 11 verbindet. Entsprechend wird der Stellzylinder 2 durch die Druckbeaufschlagung eingefahren.Upon actuation of the door closing valve 15 by the closing control valve 20, the pressure medium connection 22 is connected via the door closing valve 15 to a vent connection of the outlet throttle arrangement 16 and thus vented. Via the mechanical coupling via the plungers 19, 29, the door opening valve 14 is then brought into the inlet position, in which it connects the pressure medium connection 23 with the pressure medium line 39 and correspondingly with the pressure medium supply connection 11. Accordingly, the actuating cylinder 2 is retracted by the pressurization.

Bei einer Betätigung des Türöffnungsventils 14 und des Türschließventils 15 durch das Kraftlossteuerventil 12 werden beide Druckmittelanschlüsse 22, 23 über das Türöffnungsventil 14 und das Türschließventil 15 mit der Druckmittelleitung 39 und damit mit dem Druckmittelvorratsanschluss 11 verbunden. Der Stellzylinder 2 ist dann von beiden Seiten Druck beaufschlagt, so dass er keine Bewegung ausführt bzw. eine bereits begonnene Bewegung gestoppt wird. In diesem Zustand kann die Fahrzeugtür mit erhöhtem Kraftaufwand manuell bewegt werden.Upon actuation of the door opening valve 14 and the door closing valve 15 by the powerless control valve 12, both pressure medium connections 22, 23 are connected via the door opening valve 14 and the door closing valve 15 to the pressure medium line 39 and thus to the pressure fluid supply connection 11. The actuating cylinder 2 is then pressurized from both sides, so that it does not perform any movement or an already started movement is stopped. In this state, the vehicle door can be moved manually with increased force.

Die Auslassdrosselanordnung 16 weist eine erste Auslassdrossel 17 und eine zweite Auslassdrossel 18 auf. Sofern die Auslassdrosselanordnung 16 an ihrem Druckmittelsteuereingang von dem Kraftlossteuerventil 12 nicht mit Druck beaufschlagt ist, nimmt die Auslassdrosselanordnung 16 die in der Figur 1 dargestellte Stellung ein. In diesem Zustand ist der Druckmittelanschluss 22 oder Druckmittelanschluss 23 mit einem jeweiligen Entlüftungsanschluss 3 verbindbar. Bei einer Betätigung der Auslassdrosselanordnung 16 durch das Kraftlossteuerventil 12 werden die erste und die zweite Auslassdrossel 17, 18 in den Auslassströmungspfad geschaltet. Eine Entlüftung von dem Druckmittelanschluss 22 oder 23 erfolgt dann entsprechend gedrosselt über die jeweilige Auslassdrossel 17 oder 18. Vorteilhaft sind die Auslassdrosseln 17, 18 über jeweilige außen am Ventilgehäuse zugängliche Einstellschrauben hinsichtlich ihres Durchlassquerschnitts einstellbar.The outlet throttle assembly 16 has a first outlet throttle 17 and a second outlet throttle 18. If the Auslassdrosselanordnung 16 is not pressurized at its pressure medium control input from the Kraftlossteuerventil 12, takes the Auslassdrosselanordnung 16 in the FIG. 1 shown position. In this state, the pressure medium connection 22 or pressure medium connection 23 can be connected to a respective venting connection 3. Upon actuation of the exhaust throttle assembly 16 by the powerless control valve 12, the first and second exhaust throttles 17, 18 are switched into the exhaust flow path. Venting of the pressure medium connection 22 or 23 then takes place correspondingly throttled over the respective outlet throttle 17 or 18. The outlet throttles 17, 18 are advantageously adjustable with respect to their passage cross-section via respective adjusting screws accessible on the outside of the valve housing.

Die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung 1 weist in ihrem Ventilgehäuse des Weiteren ein Notsteuerventil 34 auf, das als Druckmittel steuerbares 3/2-Wege Ventil ausgebildet ist und in einer so genannten Selbsthalteschaltung betrieben wird. Hierfür ist ein Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig 40 vorgesehen, in dem neben den erforderlichen Druckmittelleitungen eine Drossel 33 vorgesehen ist. In der in der Figur 1 dargestellten Schaltstellung befindet sich das Notsteuerventil 34 in der so genannten Notstellung. In der Notstellung ist die Druckmittelleitung 39 mit einem Entlüftungsanschluss 3 verbunden. Hierdurch kann der Stellzylinder 2 beidseitig des Kolbens über die Druckmittelanschlüsse 22, 23 drucklos gemacht werden. In diesem Fall kann die Fahrzeugtür mit geringem Kraftaufwand bewegt werden. Ein solches Verhalten ist z.B. in Notfällen wünschenswert, etwa wenn bei einem Unfall das Fahrzeug für Rettungskräfte schnell zugänglich gemacht werden soll.The door actuation valve device 1 further has an emergency control valve 34 in its valve housing, which is designed as a pressure medium controllable 3/2-way valve and is operated in a so-called self-holding circuit. For this purpose, a self-holding pressure medium branch 40 is provided, in which in addition to the required pressure medium lines, a throttle 33 is provided. In the in the FIG. 1 shown switching position is the emergency control valve 34 in the so-called emergency position. In the emergency position, the pressure medium line 39 is connected to a vent port 3. As a result, the actuating cylinder 2 can be depressurized on both sides of the piston via the pressure medium connections 22, 23. In this case, the vehicle door can be moved with little effort. Such behavior is desirable, for example in emergencies, such as in an accident, the vehicle for rescue workers should be made quickly available.

Das Notsteuerventil nimmt die in der Figur 1 wiedergegebene Schaltstellung, nämlich die Notstellung, ein, wenn an seinem Druckmittelsteueranschluss kein Druck bzw. nur ein geringer Druck vorliegt, so dass das Notsteuerventil über die Rückstellfeder in die Notstellung gestellt wird. Zur Umstellung des Notsteuerventils 34 in die zweite Schaltstellung, die Betriebsstellung, wird das Kraftlossteuerventil 12 betätigt. Hierdurch wird ein Steuerdruck über ein Rückschlagventil 30 in den Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig 40 eingespeist, wodurch der Druckmittelsteuereingang des Notsteuerventils 34 mit Druck beaufschlagt wird. Hierdurch wird das Notsteuerventil 34 in die Betriebsstellung gebracht. In der Betriebsstellung verbindet das Notsteuerventil 34 die Druckmittelleitung 39 mit dem Druckmittelvorratsanschluss 11. Das hierbei einströmende Druckmittel wird über die Drossel 33 in den Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig 40 eingespeist und bewirkt somit ebenfalls eine Druckbeaufschlagung des Drucksteuereingangs des Notsteuerventils 34. Auf diese Weise wird über die Drossel 33 eine Selbsthaltung des Notsteuerventils 34 bewirkt, durch die das Notsteuerventil 34 auch dann in der Betriebsstellung verbleibt, wenn das Kraftlossteuerventil 12 wieder unbetätigt ist. Eine kurze Betätigung des Kraftlossteuerventils 12 ist somit für eine dauerhafte Rückstellung des Notsteuerventils 34 in die Betriebsstellung ausreichend.The emergency control valve takes in the FIG. 1 reproduced switching position, namely the emergency position, when there is no pressure or only a slight pressure at its pressure medium control port, so that the emergency control valve is placed on the return spring in the emergency position. For conversion of the emergency control valve 34 in the second switching position, the operating position is the powerless control valve 12 is actuated. As a result, a control pressure via a check valve 30 in the self-holding pressure medium branch 40 is fed, whereby the pressure medium control input of the emergency control valve 34 is pressurized. As a result, the emergency control valve 34 is brought into the operating position. In the operating position, the emergency control valve 34 connects the pressure medium line 39 to the pressure medium supply port 11. The pressure medium flowing in here is fed via the throttle 33 into the self-holding pressure medium branch 40 and thus likewise causes a pressurization of the pressure control input of the emergency control valve 34. In this way, via the throttle 33 causes a latching of the emergency control valve 34, by which the emergency control valve 34 remains in the operating position even when the powerless control valve 12 is again unoperated. A short operation of the powerless control valve 12 is thus sufficient for a permanent return of the emergency control valve 34 in the operating position.

Die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung 1 weist des Weiteren einen ersten Druckmittelanschluss 5 für ein erstes Notbetätigungsventil 42 auf. Das erste Notbetätigungsventil 42 ist beispielsweise von der Außenseite des Fahrzeugs her zugänglich. Das erste Notbetätigungsventil 42 ist z. B. als manuell gegen eine Federkraft betätigbares 2/2-Wege Ventil ausgebildet. Bei manueller Betätigung bewirkt das erste Notbetätigungsventil 42 eine Entlüftung des Selbsthaltedruckmittelzweigs 40. Das über die Drossel 33 nachströmende Druckmittel kann dabei keinen für die Aufrechterhaltung der Betriebsstellung des Notsteuerventils 34 erforderlichen Druck aufrechterhalten, so dass das Notsteuerventil 34 durch Federkraft in die Notstellung geschaltet wird.The door actuation valve device 1 further has a first pressure medium connection 5 for a first emergency actuation valve 42. The first emergency actuation valve 42 is accessible, for example, from the outside of the vehicle. The first emergency valve 42 is z. B. designed as manually operable against a spring force 2/2-way valve. When operated manually, the first emergency actuation valve 42 causes a venting of the self-holding pressure medium branch 40. The pressure medium flowing via the throttle 33 can not maintain any pressure required for maintaining the operating position of the emergency control valve 34, so that the emergency control valve 34 is switched to the emergency position by spring force.

Die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung 1 weist außerdem einen zweiten Druckmittelanschluss 4 für ein zweites Notbetätigungsventil 41 auf. Das zweite Notbetätigungsventil 41 kann beispielsweise vergleichbar mit dem ersten Notbetätigungsventil 42 aufgebaut sein. Der zweite Druckmittelanschluss 4 ist gegenüber dem ersten Druckmittelanschluss 5 bzw. gegenüber dem Selbsthaltedruckmittelzweig 40 sperrbar oder drosselbar. Hierfür ist ein Sperrventil 31 vorgesehen, das eine in der Figur 1 eingenommene (ungedrosselte) Durchlassstellung und eine Sperr- bzw. Drosselstellung aufweist. Nachfolgend sei angenommen, dass das Sperrventil 31 in der Ausführungsform mit einer Drosselstellung ausgebildet ist. In diesem Fall weist das Sperrventil 31 eine Drossel 32 auf.The door actuation valve device 1 also has a second pressure medium connection 4 for a second emergency actuation valve 41. The second emergency actuation valve 41 may be constructed, for example, comparable to the first emergency actuation valve 42. The second pressure medium connection 4 can be blocked or throttled with respect to the first pressure medium connection 5 or with respect to the self-holding pressure medium branch 40. This is a Shut-off valve 31 is provided, the one in the FIG. 1 has assumed (unthrottled) passage position and a blocking or throttle position. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the check valve 31 is formed in the embodiment with a throttle position. In this case, the check valve 31 has a throttle 32.

Das Sperrventil 31 ist als Druckmittel-steuerbares 2/2-Wege Ventil ausgebildet. Zur Druckmittelsteuerung ist ein Druckmittelsteuereingang des Sperrventils 31 mit dem Schließsteuerventil 20 verbunden. Bei einer Betätigung des Schließsteuerventils 20 in Folge eines elektrischen Signals von einer elektronischen Steuereinrichtung wird das Sperrventil 31 durch den vom Schließsteuerventil 20 eingespeisten Druck in die Drosselstellung gebracht, in der die Drossel 32 wirksam ist und den zweiten Druckmittelanschluss 4 gegenüber dem ersten Druckmittelanschluss 5 abdrosselt.The check valve 31 is designed as a pressure medium-controllable 2/2-way valve. For pressure medium control, a pressure medium control input of the check valve 31 is connected to the closing control valve 20. Upon actuation of the closing control valve 20 as a result of an electrical signal from an electronic control device, the check valve 31 is brought by the pressure supplied by the closing control valve 20 in the throttle position in which the throttle 32 is effective and the second pressure medium connection 4 with respect to the first pressure medium connection 5 throttles.

Wie erkennbar ist, kann ein Benutzer über das zweite Notbetätigungsventil 41, das z.B. im Fahrzeuginneren angeordnet sein kann, bei unbetätigtem Sperrventil, d.h. bei nicht wirksamer Drossel 32, in gleicher Weise wie mit dem ersten Notbetätigungsventil eine Entlüftung des Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweigs 40 und damit eine Auslösung der Notstellung hervorrufen. Bei betätigten Sperrventil 31 und somit wirksamer Drossel 32 erfolgt eine Entlüftung an dem zweiten Druckmittelanschluss 4 bei einer Betätigung des zweiten Notbetätigungsventils bedingt durch die Drossel 32 nur mit einer relativ geringen Druckmittelströmung. Während dessen kann über die Drossel 33 Druckmittel aus dem Druckmittelvorrat nachströmen. In Folge einer geeigneten Dimensionierung der Drosseln 32, 33 kann ein entsprechender Druckabfall in dem Selbsthalte-Druckmittelzweig 40, der zu einer Auslösung der Notstellung führen würde, unterbunden werden. Funktional ist damit das zweite Notbetätigungsventil 41 solange unwirksam, wie das Sperrventil 31 betätigt ist. Erst bei unbetätigtem Sperrventil kann über das zweite Notbetätigungsventil 41 die Notstellung ausgelöst werden.As can be seen, a user via the second emergency valve 41, which may be located eg inside the vehicle, with unconfirmed check valve, ie ineffective throttle 32, in the same way as with the first emergency valve venting of the self-holding pressure medium branch 40 and thus a Trigger the emergency position. When operated check valve 31 and thus effective throttle 32 is vented to the second pressure medium connection 4 upon actuation of the second Notbetätigungsventils due to the throttle 32 only with a relatively low pressure fluid flow. During this, pressure medium can flow from the pressure medium supply via the throttle 33. As a result of a suitable dimensioning of the throttles 32, 33, a corresponding pressure drop in the self-holding pressure medium branch 40, which would lead to a triggering of the emergency position, can be prevented. Functionally so that the second emergency control valve 41 is ineffective as long as the check valve 31 is actuated. Only with unconfirmed shut-off valve 41, the emergency position can be triggered via the second emergency valve 41.

Die zuvor beschriebenen Entlüftungsanschlüsse 3 sind jeweils mit der Atmosphäre verbunden. Vorteilhaft kann die Türbetätigungsventileinrichtung 1 in ihrem Ventilgehäuse eine Zentralentlüftung aufweisen, mit der die einzelnen Entlüftungsanschlüsse 3 verbunden sind.The previously described venting ports 3 are each connected to the atmosphere. Advantageously, the door operating valve device 1 may have in its valve housing a central ventilation, with which the individual venting ports 3 are connected.

In der Figur 1 sind des Weiteren noch Druckschalter 43, 44, 45 dargestellt, die druckabhängig elektrische Signale erzeugen. Die elektrischen Signale werden der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung zugeführt, die die Signale zur Plausibilitäts- und Sicherheitsprüfung der Fahrzeugtüranlage verwendet.In the FIG. 1 Furthermore, pressure switches 43, 44, 45 are also shown, which generate pressure-dependent electrical signals. The electrical signals are supplied to the electronic control device, which uses the signals for plausibility and safety testing of the vehicle door system.
