FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to apparatus for transmitting force by hydraulic pressure and, more particularly, to a novel, simplified and improved manually actuable force transmitting apparatus utilizing hydraulic pressure.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION There is a demand for mechanism for transmitting force, by hydraulic pressure, from one point to another and irrespective of the states between the two separated points. Such a hydraulic pressure transmitting apparatus is especially useful for remote control of adjustment means for selecting and fixing the inclination of seat backs in airplanes and the like.
In accordance with the invention, the forcetransmitting apparatus comprises a pressure-applying component and a force-transmitting component interconnected by a flexible tube. The structure is designed in a way such that, by pushing a button of the pressureapplying component, a plunger of the forcetransmitting component, or hydraulic fluid actuator, is projected by the hydraulic fluid confined within the pressure-applying component, the force-transmitting component and the tube. Thus, a force is transmitted to an object attached to the force-transmitting compoment and to which the force is to be applied.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved apparatus for transmitting force by hydraulic pressure.
Another object of the invention is to provide such an apparatus which is particularly adapted to the remote control of parts to be moved.
A further object of the invention is to provide such an apparatus which is simple in construction, economical to manufacture and readily adaptable to various applications.
For an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference is made to the following description of a typical embodiment thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawing, the apparatus is actuated responsive to pressing of a button 1 which is movably mounted in a button receiving aperture of a style strip 2. A button engaging pressure plate 3 is secured to the closed outer end of a bellows 5, whose open inner end is clamped between a radially extending seat of a main body 6 and an annular retainer 7. A piston rod 4 is secured to the closed outer end of bellows 5 and extends through a rigid, perforated circular piston rod guiding washer or diaphragm 8 seated in the body member 6 and engaged by the inner end of bellows 5.
A hydraulic fluid or oil chamber is formed by bellows 5 and main body 6, and is divided into three parts a, b and c by washer 8 and a piston 9 reciprocable in a part of body 6 forming a cylinder. Chamber part a is formed by bellows 5 and perforated washer 8, which has a central aperture through which piston 4 extends in guided relation and, radially outwardly from this aperture, several holes or additional apertures for the flow of hydraulic fluid between chamber parts a and b. Chamber part b is defined by washer 8 and an end wall of piston 9, and chamber part c is defined by the cylinder of body 6 and the inner end of piston 9. Circular washer 8 acts as a guide for piston rod 4. It will be noted that piston rod 4 extends completely through chamber part a and, through circular washer 8, into chamber part b. The chambersa and bare in constant substantially unrestricted communication through the perforations in the member 8 which guide the piston rod 4.
The inner end of piston rod 4 is conical and is arranged to sealingly engage in a central aperture in the end wall of piston 9. Piston 9 is constantly biased by a spring 10, fitted in chamber part 0, toward piston rod 4. Each chamber part a, b and c contains hydraulic fluid, and chamber part c communicates with the inerior of a flexible tube 12 which is secured to body part 6 by a coupling element 11, an O-ring 13 providing a fluid-tight seal at the inner end of coupling element 11. A similar coupling element 11, with another O-ring 13, connects tube 12 to the fluid pressure actuator, and tube 12 is enclosed in a protecting tube 14. The other end of tube 12 communicates with a bore in the main body 15 of the fluid pressure actuator. Both ends of protective tube 14 are press-fitted into the respective couplings 11 to help anchor tube 12 in the tube coupling elements.
Plunger 18 carries, centrally, a bearing member 24 for pushing against the member to which force is to be transmitted. A spring 20 has one end seating in an annular groove in the outer face of plunger 18 and its other end seated in a groove in the inner face of a guide 21 which is held in positionby caulking an outer edge fof body 15 over a rim on the inner edge of guide 21. An annular spring 23 is interposed between clamping ring 19 and guide 21, and guide 21 is provided with setscrews 22 for connection thereto of the object to which force is to be transmitted. Annular spring 23 permits angular adjustment of guide 21 during its fitting to the part to which force is to be transmitted.
A threaded plug 30 is engaged in the outer end of an axial bore 4a in piston rod 4, and bore 4a communicates with chamber compartment a. When the device is to be filled with hydraulic fluid, plug 30 is removed and, after refiling with hydraulic fluid, is replaced.
The outer end of the passage in body member 5 is sealed by a copper ball 31, and an airvent hole or bleed port, communicating with chamber d, is closed by a coppper ball 34 held in place by a threaded plug 33, the bleed port being opened during filling of the apparatus with hydraulic fluid to assure a solid hydraulic connection extending from bellows 5 to chamber d.
in the operation of the apparatus, when button 1 is pushed it moves inwardly to collapse bellows 5. By virtue of piston rod 4 being secured to button receiver 3, the piston rod is pushed inwardly so that the oil in chamber compartment a is forced out into the chamber compartment b through the passages in washer 8 and through the guide passage for piston rod 4. Oil under pressure is thus forced into compartment b simultaneously with the depression of piston rod 4 which, in turn, forces piston 9 downwardly. Forcing piston rod 9 downwardly decreases the volume of oil chamber compartment c, and the hydraulic fluid in compartment 0 is forced under pressure into compartment d through tube 12 to force diaphragm l6, 17 to the right. This projects plunger 18 whose force is exerted on the object to which the force is to be transmitted.
On the other hand, while the hydraulic fluid forced out of compartment c is delivered under pressure to compartment d, at the same time a portion of the oil will return to compartment [2 through the clearance between piston 9 and the cylinder formed in main body 6, so that balance of the hydraulic fluid will be restored. If the force exerted on button 1 is terminated, spring 20 will force plunger 18 to the left, this action being assisted by the spring which biases piston 9 upwardly.
- The hydraulic fluid in compartment 0! returns to compartment 0 through tube 12. In compartment 0, piston 9 is biased upwardly by spring 10, as stated, expanding compartment c to receive the hydraulic fluid returning from compartment d. Piston 9 lifts piston rod 4 to restore, to its initial expanded position, bellows 5 whose upper end is united with piston rod 4. The volume of compartment b is reduced by the upward movement of piston 9, so that hydraulic fluid therein is returned fully to the interior of bellows 5 or, respectively, into the compartment a through the apertures in washer 8 and the guide aperture for piston rod 4.
The hydraulic fluid forced out of compartment b is too great a quantity with respect to the capacity of compartment a, and the resulting superfluous hydraulic fluid is returned to compartment 0, through the clearance between piston 9 and its associated cylinder in body 6. The hydraulic fluid in compartment b, when compressed by piston 9, restores compartment a and bellows 5 to their original position, and piston 9 is separated from piston rod 4 by the surplus hydraulic fluid resulting in disengagement of the conical end of piston rod 4 from the central aperture in piston 9, so that hydraulic fluid may flow between compartments b and c as well as through the clearance between piston 9 and the cylinder in body 6. When the surplus hydraulic fluid has all been returned to oil chamber compartment 0, the conical tip of piston'rod 4 is again engaged in the central aperture in piston 9. As bellows 5 is expanded, button 1 is returned to its initial position.
From the foregoing description, it will be clear that, in the pressure-applying part, there are formed three compartments a, b and c of the hydraulic fluid chamher, and when the upper or outer end of bellows 5 is depressed, the central aperture in piston 9 is blocked by the conical tip of piston rod 4, piston 9 acting as a separation between compartments b and c. This action prevents the internal pressure in chamber compartments a and b from an abrupt increase, even with a rapid increase in the internal pressure in compartment c and, at the same time, enables a slow return of the bellows. Pressure exerted on the pressure-applying part rapidly increases the internal pressure of compartment 0 to prompty transmit force to the force-transmitting part or hydraulic actuator. However, inspite of this immediate force transmission, any abrupt change of the internal pressure of the bellows 5 can be prevented by adjustment of pressure due to the structure of the pressure-applying part, thus precluding the possibility of sudden deformation or breakage, as well as the possibility of leakage of hydraulic fluid. Consequently, the device has the pronounced advantage of stability and durability.
While a specific embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles ofthe invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
