FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a connecting rod of a variable volumetric ratio engine.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the foreword, it is recalled that a connecting rod of an internal combustion engine is associated on the side of its foot with the bearing of a combustion piston and the side of its head with the bearing of a crankshaft. These two levels are generally parallel axes. As shown respectively in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the linkage has the function of transmitting the translational movement of the piston from a "top dead center" to a "bottom dead center" to the rotational movement of the crankshaft. The connecting rod also maintains the angular position of the piston along the axis of translation thereof.
Numerous solutions are known in the state of the art for adjusting the volumetric ratio and / or the displacement of an internal combustion engine.
It is recalled that the volumetric ratio of an internal combustion engine, often called the compression ratio, corresponds to the ratio between the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at its bottom dead point; and the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at its top dead center. All else being equal, the choice of the length of the connecting rod determines the volumetric ratio of the engine.
It is generally accepted that the adaptation of the volumetric ratio of an engine to its load greatly improves the energy efficiency of the engine. For example, it is sometimes desired to vary the volumetric ratio between about a value of 12 in the absence of load to a value of about 8 at full load.
It is recalled that a complete engine cycle of a four-stroke engine consists of a fresh gas intake cycle, followed by a compression cycle, a combustion-expansion cycle, and finally a exhaust cycle. These cycles are of substantially equal extent, distributed over 720 ° rotation of the crankshaft. The engine load is then defined as the dummy constant pressure exerted on the piston crown during the combustion-expansion portion of a cycle (the pressure exerted on the piston crown during the complementary part of the cycle being considered as zero) leading to obtain a power equivalent to that developed by the engine during a complete cycle. This pressure is at most of the order of 10 bar for an ordinary atmospheric engine, and can commonly rise to values of 20 to 30 bar for a supercharged engine.
The displacement corresponds to the volume generated by the sliding of the piston in the engine cylinder between a top dead center and a bottom dead center. A variable displacement is obtained by varying the stroke of the piston in the cylinder. The displacement is not affected by the choice of the length of the connecting rod. The displacement variation must be of great amplitude to have a noticeable effect on the energy efficiency, which is technologically difficult to implement.
Thus, the document US4111164 aims to vary the displacement of an engine according to the load that applies to it. This document discloses a rod consisting of a spring associated with a hydraulic chamber so as to rigidly couple a piston to the crankshaft of the engine when it is not subjected to a load; and resiliently coupling the piston to the crankshaft when the engine is under heavy load. For this second important load situation, the rod acts as a shock absorber, compressing and expanding according to the instantaneous value of the forces that develop during a motor cycle. Thus, this document discloses a constant displacement with the load during the intake cycle, while the displacement is increased during the combustion cycle when the load increases. However, the combustion forces partly absorbed in the hydraulic chamber of the rod are not returned, which makes the solution particularly inefficient.
This solution therefore does not allow to adjust the volumetric ratio according to the load that applies during one or a succession of motor cycles. The solution proposed in this document also leads to intensely solicit the mechanical components of the connecting rod (spring, hydraulic chamber) during operation of the engine, which accelerates their wear and reduces the reliability of the system.
Moreover, the hydraulic chamber of the solution presented in this document is particularly sensitive to the change in temperature of the hydraulic fluid, which makes the behavior of the connecting rod particularly unpredictable.
The document R0111863 describes an internal combustion engine consisting of a movable upper block and a lower block fixed vis-à-vis the chassis of a vehicle. The upper block is free to pivot along a lateral axis linking the upper block to the lower block. As the engine load increases, the average effective pressure in the cylinder increases and causes the upper block to tilt around the lateral axis. A cylinder volume is therefore added to the volume of the combustion chamber thus causing a decrease in the compressional compression ratio.
The solution proposed in this document requires the design and manufacture of an articulated engine block that does not correspond to a standard combustion engine architecture, consisting of a fixed engine block, which requires a complete re-design of most interface elements between the engine and the chassis of the vehicle. Thus, the elements connecting to the upper part of the engine (air intake line, gasoline, exhaust line, distribution, ...) must be adapted to tolerate the mobility of the upper part of the engine. Other documents, such as WO2013092364, describe rods with controlled length, for setting the volumetric ratio of an internal combustion engine (and without affecting the displacement). These solutions require the presence of an active control system of the length of the connecting rod via an external control system (hydraulic piston, electric motor) which is generally complex, source of energy losses and unreliable. In addition, the control of the volumetric ratio is not continuous and the volumetric ratio range accessible is often very limited. This is particularly the case of the solution proposed in the aforementioned document which provides only two connecting rod lengths.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The invention aims to remedy at least some of the disadvantages of the prior art presented above. In particular, the invention aims to make the operating temperature of the engine independent of the behavior of a connecting rod for a variable volumetric ratio engine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A connecting rod is subjected to tensile and compressive forces during engine operating cycles. These efforts have two origins: the forces due to the combustion of the mixture in the combustion cylinder and the inertia forces due to the engine speed. FIG. 2 represents, by way of example, the forces applied to a connecting rod during an engine cycle for a maximum load and two different engine speeds.
The combustion forces translate exclusively into compressive forces on the connecting rod. The maximum amplitude of these forces is substantially proportional to the engine load as shown in FIG. 3, by way of example.
The forces of inertia are translated on the connecting rod in successive efforts of traction and compression during a motor cycle. The maximum amplitude of the inertial forces is essentially proportional to the square of the engine speed (that is to say its speed of rotation). This is illustrated by way of example in FIG.
During a motor cycle or a plurality of engine cycles, and if we neglect the friction, the work developed by the inertia forces applying to the connecting rod is zero, the instantaneous forces of inertia of compression and instantaneous tensile inertia forces, although maximum amplitudes and different gaits compensate each other on average over the entire cycle.
Consequently, on a cycle or a plurality of motor cycles, the work of the combined forces applying to the connecting rod corresponds substantially to the work of the combustion forces, which are representative of the engine load as previously specified in relation to the DESCRIPTION OF FIGURE 3. The invention is based on these observations to propose a connecting rod of variable length depending on the load of the engine, that is to say according to the average forces of combustion. This variation of connecting rod length makes it possible to adjust autonomously (ie without requiring the implementation of an active control system of the connecting rod length) the volumetric ratio of the engine to its load, without modifying it. substantially the displacement.
By "average efforts" means the average forces that apply during a cycle or a plurality of cycles, including motor cycles.
A rod 1 according to the invention and as shown schematically in Figure 5, comprises: a cylinder 2 secured to a first end El of the rod;
A movable piston 3 in the cylinder 2 and secured to the second end E2 of the rod.
Each end of the rod 1 may carry a bearing for one to be connected to the combustion piston and the other to the crankshaft. By length of the rod, the distance between the two bearings is designated. The displacement of the piston 3 in the cylinder 2 makes it possible to adjust the length of the connecting rod 1 between a first stop (minimum length of the connecting rod) and a second stop (maximum or nominal length of the connecting rod).
The piston 3 defines in the cylinder 2 a first hydraulic chamber 4 called "high pressure", able to transmit the Fcomp compression forces that apply to the rod 1 along its longitudinal axis and a second hydraulic chamber 5 called "low" pressure "capable of transmitting Ftrac traction forces that apply to the rod 1 along its longitudinal axis. These two "high pressure" 4 and "low pressure" chambers 5 are in fluid communication, via at least one calibrated conduit 6.
The displacement of the piston 3, leading to the adjustment of the length of the rod 1, is generated by the application of the traction and compression forces on the connecting rod 1 and is allowed (within the limit provided by the stops) by the flow of the fluid from one chamber to another through the calibrated conduit 6. In the absence of flow, the connecting rod 1 behaves like a rigid body, the movement of the piston 3 in the cylinder 2 being limited to compressibility of the hydraulic fluid pressurized by the tensile and / or compression forces.
The dynamics of the flow between the two chambers 4, 5 therefore conditions the speed of adjustment of the length of the connecting rod 1 to the instantaneous forces that apply.
According to the invention, this dynamic is chosen (in particular by the dimensioning of the calibrated conduit or ducts 6) so as not to react, or react with a controlled and limited amplitude, to the instantaneous forces of inertia or combustion.
Particularly advantageously, the calibrated conduit (s) 6 is configured to promote a turbulent flow. Indeed, in turbulent flow conditions, as opposed to a laminar flow, the relationship between the flow rate and the pressure is much less sensitive to the fluid temperature. This contributes to establishing a substantially constant behavior of the connecting rod despite variations in temperature of the hydraulic fluid (which can range from -20 ° C cold under extreme temperature conditions to 150 ° C operating in an engine ).
As is well known per se, a turbulent flow is favored by decreasing the ratio of the length of the duct to its diameter and penalizing the entry of the hydraulic fluid into the duct so as to create a violent transition between the chamber and this duct (by For example, converging type cones are not formed between chambers 4, 5 and conduit 6).
According to a first configuration, the connecting rod cylinder 2 and / or the connecting rod piston 3 are provided with sealing means preventing the flow of the hydraulic fluid from one chamber 4, 5 to the other outside the (or) calibrated conduit 6 provided.
In an example of a particular embodiment, and shown in FIG. 6, these sealing means comprise, at the level of the sliding face of the piston, and in succession from the high pressure chamber 4 towards the low pressure chamber 5: one or several metal segments 61 for containing the pressure front of the fluid present in the high pressure chamber 4; an intermediate reservoir 62 of hydraulic fluid; and a seal 63 (for example composite or toric) sealing the assembly.
In this first configuration, the calibrated duct 6 between the low pressure chamber 5 and the high pressure chamber 4 is formed in the piston 3 and / or in the cylinder 2. Advantageously, and for ease of manufacture, the calibrated duct 6 or one of the calibrated ducts 6 between the low pressure chamber 5 and the high pressure chamber 4 is formed in the piston 3. Alternatively, this duct 6 or one of these calibrated ducts 6 may be formed in the cylinder body 2.
According to another configuration, the connecting rod cylinder 2 and / or the connecting rod piston 3 are not provided with sealing means. In this case, the clearance between the piston 3 and the cylinder 2 is chosen to allow the flow of fluid between the two chambers, and constitutes in itself a calibrated conduit 6 between the low pressure chamber 5 and the high pressure chamber 4. In this configuration, it is also possible to provide at least one additional calibrated duct 6 formed in the piston 3 and / or in the body of the cylinder 2.
In addition, a connecting rod 1 according to the invention comprises return means 7 configured to return the rod to its nominal length in the absence of external forces.
According to the invention, the calibrated conduit (s) 6 and the return means 7 are configured and / or chosen to adjust the length of the connecting rod 1 to the average tensile and compressive forces that apply to the connecting rod 1. This adjustment can consist in the reduction of the length of connecting rod with the increase of the average efforts of compression.
The operation of a connecting rod 1 according to the invention is described below when it is in operation in an engine.
At the start of the engine, the link 1 has its nominal length, the return means 7 leading to placing the piston assembly 3 / cylinder 2 of the connecting rod in the mechanical stop position. The engine thus has at startup a volumetric ratio defined by the nominal connecting rod length.
The instantaneous tensile and compressive forces which apply to the low-load rod 1 and which therefore correspond essentially to inertial forces, develop with a faster dynamic than the dynamics of the flow in the calibrated duct 6. between the high-pressure hydraulic chamber 4 and the low-pressure hydraulic chamber 5. Also, the length of connecting rod 1 is essentially unaffected by these forces, even if oscillations of small amplitudes can occur.
When the engine load increases, the average compression forces become sufficient to allow the hydraulic fluid to be transferred significantly from the high pressure chamber 4 to the low pressure hydraulic chamber 5. This flow leads to the displacement of the piston 3 in the cylinder 2 and the contraction of the rod 1. The volumetric ratio of the engine is then adjusted, completely independently, according to the effective length of the connecting rod 1.
Advantageously, the return means 7 comprise a spring, for example a compression spring, arranged to exert a force tending to move the first end of the second end of the connecting rod 1. The spring can be placed in the high-pressure hydraulic chamber 4 , or arranged on the connecting rod 1 outside this chamber 4.
The spring may have a stiffness which leads to applying an increasing return force with the contraction of the connecting rod 1. In general, when the return forces are provided only by the spring and outside the effects of abutments or stops. transient effects, when the average combustion forces corresponding to the engine load balance with the forces applied by the return means 7, the length of the connecting rod 1 is essentially stabilized around an equilibrium length, even if Oscillations of small amplitudes can occur.
Conversely, when the engine load decreases, the hydraulic fluid tends to be transferred through the calibrated duct 6 of the low pressure chamber 5 to the high pressure chamber 4, and the rod 1 tends to return to its mechanical stop corresponding to a length configuration. nominal. The volumetric ratio of the engine is adjusted accordingly.
The stiffness of the spring is chosen to grant the maximum travel of the connecting rod, between its two stops, for a selected range of loads.
The spring may be pre-loaded, that is to say that when the rod 1 has its nominal length, at rest, the spring applies a non-zero threshold return force. Thus, as long as the average combustion effort (compressive force) remains below this threshold return force, the length of the connecting rod 1 remains fixed at its nominal length. As will be seen later, a portion of the threshold return force can be provided by the hydraulic part of the connecting rod 1. In this case, the portion of the threshold return force provided by the spring can be reduced, and the size of the spring to be reduced as well.
According to a particular mode of implementation of the invention, the spring is pre-loaded to a non-zero threshold return force and its stiffness is chosen to be low, so that, for example, the variation of the return force from one stop to the next does not exceed 70% of the pre-load effort.
In this way, the connecting rod 1 is applied with a substantially constant return force, independent of its length. This constitutes a connecting rod 1 which can take two stable configurations, on its abutments: in a first configuration, the connecting rod 1 has a first length equal to its nominal length as long as the average applied combustion force remains lower than the return force threshold;
In a second configuration, the rod 1 has a length equal to its minimum length when the average applied combustion force is greater than the threshold return force.
This mode of implementation is particularly suitable for the realization of a simple and inexpensive connecting rod 1 for the implementation of a variable volumetric ratio autonomous "bi-rate". The engine has a first volumetric ratio imposed by the nominal length of the connecting rod in its first configuration, for a low load; and a second volumetric ratio imposed by the minimum length of the connecting rod in its second configuration, for a load exceeding a threshold load. The length of the connecting rod 1 is well adjusted to the average tensile forces and compression applied thereto.
The cylinder 2 and the piston 3 of the connecting rod may have a circular section. In this case they are provided with indexing means 12 to prevent rotation along a longitudinal axis of the combustion piston in the combustion cylinder in order to maintain the orientation of the parallel combustion piston bearings and crankshaft during the translation of the combustion piston. It may be a grooved structure between the piston 3 and the cylinder 2 or a pin 12 inserted in the piston 3 through an oblong opening of the cylinder 2, allowing the displacement in translation of the piston 3, but blocking any rotational movement. This avoids developing friction or blocking the engine at the connections with the crankshaft and / or the piston and the combustion cylinder.
Alternatively, the cylinder 2 and the piston 3 of the connecting rod have a non-circular section, such as an oval section, which in itself prevents the risk of rotation along the longitudinal axis of these two bodies. In general, the cylinder 2 and the piston 3 are dimensioned so as to limit the size of the rod 1 and allow its placement in a combustion engine of conventional design. However, the minimum dimensioning of the rod 1 is limited by the pressure of the maximum hydraulic fluid that can develop in the hydraulic chambers 4, 5. As such, an oval section of the cylinder 2 and the piston 3 is sometimes more appropriate, allowing to accommodate the constraints of space and pressure. In any event, the surfaces subjected to the pressure of the hydraulic fluid on the side of the low pressure chamber 5 and the side of the high pressure chamber 4 are chosen sufficiently large so that when the piston is subjected to maximum force, the pressure which develops in one or the other chamber is not excessive, for example vis-à-vis the holding of the sealing means. For example, it is possible to choose not to exceed a pressure in the high pressure chamber 4 of about 400 bar at 1000 bar for a conventional combustion engine. The extent of the surfaces subjected to the pressure of the hydraulic fluid can be defined more precisely as the area of the surfaces in contact with this fluid projected on a plane perpendicular to the sliding direction of the piston 3 of the connecting rod in the cylinder 2 of the rod.
The cylinder 2 and / or the piston 3 of the rod can be provided at the level of the high pressure chamber 4 or the low pressure chamber 5 of filling means 8 of a hydraulic fluid. These filling means make it possible to maintain the chambers filled with this fluid, thus compensating for any leaks. It may be a duct formed in the connecting rod body and opening, at a first end, into the cylinder of the connecting rod and, at its second end, at the connection between the end of the connecting rod and the bearing of the crankshaft. As is well known per se, the hydraulic fluid can be taken from the engine at this connection and flow into the pipe of the connecting rod body to feed the cylinder.
Preferably, the first end of the duct opens into the low pressure chamber 5 of the cylinder 2 which makes it possible to take advantage of the pumping effect which takes place during the application of a compressive force on the connecting rod and to favor thus the filling flow of the hydraulic fluid in the cylinder 2. The conduit may be provided with a non-return valve preventing the flow out of the cylinder through this conduit, as shown schematically in Figure 5.
In order to limit the pressure which develops in the cylinder 2 of the connecting rod, the latter may be provided with discharge means 9. These means may be constituted or comprise a simple conduit to the outside of the high pressure chamber 4 forming a constant leak, or a duct provided with a pressure limiter for example in the form of a valve calibrated at a threshold pressure equal to the desired maximum pressure in this chamber.
Particularly advantageously, the low pressure chamber 5 and the high pressure chamber 4 have an equivalent section. By "equivalent section", it is meant that the volume swept by the displacement of the piston 3 in one of the chambers 4, 5 is identical to the volume swept in the other chamber by the displacement of the piston 3.
The condition of "equivalent section" is fulfilled when the surfaces subjected to the pressure of each face of the piston, projected on a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the piston, are substantially equal.
For a given engine operating point, and when the piston 3 has reached its equilibrium position, the pressure difference between the two chambers remains constant whatever the temperature of the hydraulic fluid. Insofar as the equivalent section condition is respected, the balance of the forces acting on the connecting rod is constant whatever the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
The internal pressure of the chambers 4, 5 is particularly variable with the expansion of the hydraulic fluid as a function of the temperature (which can range from -20 ° under cold conditions to extreme temperature at 150 ° in operation in an engine). In the absence of an equivalence of the sections, the variability of the internal pressure would generate a variability of the forces which apply to the piston 3. Consequently, the connecting rod would have a behavior (length as a function of the engine load) variable with the temperature , which is not usually desired.
In other words, and in the absence of a non-return valve calibrated on the duct 6, the rod 1 tends to balance during its operation the average pressures in the high and low pressure chambers 4, 5. When the sections do not are not equivalent, the average force generated by the pressure and acting on the piston 3 is no longer zero. This is then proportional to the difference in section between the chambers 4, 5, and is proportional to the average pressure prevailing in the chambers 4,5. However, the hydraulic fluid is strongly subjected to thermal expansion, it follows that the pressure in the chambers 4, 5 may vary during the temperature rise of the engine. Consequently, the balance between the forces exerted by the return means 7, the combustion forces, and the hydraulic forces exerted on the piston 3 is then disturbed by the temperature, which is not desirable. The equivalent section conditions have the advantage of contributing to preserving a substantially constant behavior (the length-load law) of the connecting rod despite the variations in temperature. By way of example, FIG. 7a is a graphical representation of the relationship linking the length of a connecting rod for which the equivalence condition of the sections is not respected (+ 10% of area at the level of the high pressure chamber vis-à-vis the low pressure chamber in this example) to the load of a motor (at 2000 revolutions / min), in a particular example of implementation of this rod. This figure represents this relation in the case of hydraulic fluids constituted by oil, commonly used for the lubrication of the engines, in a first case where the oil has a reference temperature, then in a second case where the temperature of this same oil increased by 10 ° C, for operating conditions identical to the first case. It can be observed that a small temperature rise of 10 ° C leads to a very different engine-to-rod length relationship, and consequently a very different engine-to-volume ratio relationship which can not be tolerated for a reproducible and predictable operation of this engine.
Numerous configurations of the hydraulic chambers 4, 5 make it possible to achieve the equivalent section condition, and thus to limit temperature effects, as shown in FIGS. 7b to 7d by way of illustration.
According to a first example, represented in FIG. 7b, this condition is obtained by a double-stage piston 3. In this figure, the cylinder 2 has a circular shoulder 3c so that the low pressure chamber 5 has a diameter greater than that of the high pressure chamber 4. This difference in diameter is compensated by the section of the rod 9 of the piston 3 in the low pressure chamber 5, so that finally the volume generated by the displacement of the piston 3 in one chamber is identical to the volume generated in the other chamber by the same displacement of the piston 3.
According to a second example, represented in FIG. 7c, this condition is obtained by a piston 3 with external emergent rod. The rod 9 of the piston 3 extends on either side of the piston 3 and in the volume of each of the chambers 4, 5. In this way, the condition of equivalent section is also ensured.
According to a third example, represented in FIG. 7d, this condition is obtained by a piston 3 with an internal emergent rod. In this figure, the high pressure chamber 4 has a projecting body 10 whose section is identical to that of the rod 9 of the piston 3. This projecting body 10 is fitted to a bore 11 formed in the piston 3, so as to be able to slide. In this way, the condition of equivalent section is also ensured.
In order to be able to adjust the dynamics of the flow with greater flexibility, the connecting rod 1 may comprise: at least one calibrated duct 6a called "traction" allowing only a flow of the hydraulic fluid from the low-pressure chamber 5 to the upper chamber pressure 4; - At least one calibrated duct 6b called "compression" allowing only a flow of hydraulic fluid from the high pressure chamber 4 to the low pressure chamber 5.
Each of the ducts 6a, 6b may be provided with a valve to allow flow in a single direction.
It is thus possible to adjust each of the ducts (for example in their calibres) independently of one another and to allow a differentiated dynamic of the adjustment of the length of connecting rod according to whether a tensile or compressive force applies.
In a preferred variant, the calibrated compression duct 6b allows a flow only when the pressure of the high pressure chamber 4 exceeds the pressure of the low pressure chamber 5 by a predetermined value. This can be easily accomplished by providing the conduit 6b with a calibrated check valve at a predetermined pressure difference.
By thus blocking the flow below a determined pressure differential, it prevents any compression movement of the piston 3 in the cylinder 2 of the rod as long as this pressure is not exceeded. This gives an effect similar to that of the preload of the recall means 7, these means may then have a smaller dimension for an identical effect.
In one variant, the connecting rod may have two calibrated compression ducts 6b, one being simple and allowing calibrated flow as soon as a compression force is applied to the connecting rod 1, the other being provided with an anti-clogging valve. calibrated return to allow a complementary flow as soon as a sufficient effort (inducing a sufficient pressure differential between the two chambers) compression is applied to the connecting rod 1.
There are thus additional means for adjusting the flow dynamics and therefore the speed of adjustment of the length of the rod to the instantaneous efforts that apply to it; and more generally to control the relationship between the volumetric ratio and the engine load.
The valves generally consist of a movable part (such as a ball) that can move in a direction of mobility, and cooperating with a seat and / or a spring. This well-known mechanism selectively opens or closes a flow passage according to the differential pressure existing between the upstream and downstream of this passage.
Advantageously, the valves which are associated with the ducts 6; 6a, 6b and / or the filling means 8 and / or the discharge means 9 of the rod 1 according to the invention are arranged to place the mobility directions of their moving parts parallel to the foot and head axes of the the rod 1. In this configuration, the moving parts are not subject in their directions of mobility to the acceleration of the connecting rod 1 during its operation in an engine. This avoids to make dependent on the engine speed the opening or closing behavior of these valves.
Alternatively, one can choose to place the direction of mobility of the moving parts of the valves (or some of them) in a plane comprising the main axis of the rod 1, that is to say in its length, and the transverse axis to the rod 1, that is to say in its width. In this case, these moving parts undergo forces during engine operation, proportional to their orientations in this plane, their accelerations and their masses, which contribute to the opening or closing of the valves with which they are associated. In particular, these forces may develop close to the top dead center and bottom dead center positions of the combustion piston (the acceleration of the connecting rod near these positions being related to the engine speed). More specifically, when one of these valves is placed along the axis of the connecting rod 1, the maximum acceleration related to the speed of rotation of the engine that may act on the opening or closing of the valve, is close the peak of combustion effort. And when one of these valves is placed transversely to the axis of the rod 1, the maximum acceleration related to the speed of rotation of the engine that may act on the opening or closing of the valve, is remote from the peak of effort related to combustion. It may then be judicious and useful to choose the placement along one axis or the other, and more generally in the plane defined by these axes, and the respective masses of the movable parts of the valves (and the stiffness of any springs with which they cooperate ) in order to more finely adjust the behavior (law connecting rod length - load) of the device, in particular according to the engine speed. It then becomes possible to open or close these valves, and in particular the valves that can be associated with the (x) calibrated conduit (s) 6, beyond a given engine speed, which offers an additional dimension of optimization of the behavior of the connecting rod.
According to another advantageous aspect, the valves have a mechanical stop of the movable part limiting their maximum opening and make it possible to control the flow rate of the flow, and to avoid the excessive biasing of the valve spring, when such a spring is present .
In some cases, it is also possible to provide the conduits 6; 6a, 6b of "leaking" valves, for which a bypass duct is placed in parallel with the valve itself. As is well known per se, the "leaking" valves make it possible to dissociate the upstream and downstream flows, and to adjust the flows.
The determination of the configuration and calibration of the flow ducts 6a, 6b between the high pressure chamber and the low pressure chamber is of course related to the configuration of the engine in which the rod is to operate, and to the chosen performance. or expected from this engine. In general, it is intended to make the operation of the connecting rod (the adjustment of the length of the connecting rod to the load of the engine) in accordance with a predetermined relationship according to the desired characteristics of the engine, for example to give the the shape of the curve shown in FIGS. 8a and 8b. This may involve an arbitration between the complexity of the flow restraint configuration (number of conduits, etc.) and its performance. The skilled person can be helped by many common means to achieve this phase of design and / or validation. It may be in particular digital simulation and optimization means, or test benches for biasing the linkage in traction and compression according to selected force profiles to qualify its behavior. By way of example, the person skilled in the art may seek to reproduce a depreciation whose law is given in FIG. 8c. This figure represents (in ordinate), the speed of elongation of the rod, according to (in abscissa) the amplitude of a constant effort which is applied to him. This amplitude is normalized by the maximum force applied to the connecting rod corresponding to the peak of combustion. In FIG. 8c, three laws are represented by way of illustration, for three configurations of different connecting rods and in accordance with the invention: (a) connecting rod having a single calibrated duct; (B) connecting rod having two calibrated conduits, respectively traction and compression, the compression pipe being provided with a calibrated check valve; (c) connecting rod having three calibrated ducts, a traction duct and two compression ducts, each of the compression ducts being provided with a calibrated check valve.
These damping laws are characterized, inter alia, by a movement speed of between 30 and 200 mm / s when the force applied is equal to 50% of the maximum force visible on the connecting rod.
A speed of the order of 30 mm / s ensures a system with few oscillations of the length of the connecting rod around its equilibrium position during a motor cycle, but has the effect of slowing down the variation. volumetric ratio when the engine load varies. A speed of the order of 200 mm / s allows, conversely, to have a rapid variation of the volumetric ratio when the load varies, but can cause the occurrence of oscillations of the length of rod around its position d 'balanced. The presence of one or a plurality of calibrated check valves makes it possible to establish a constitutive law that achieves a better compromise between the oscillations of the length of connecting rod and the reactivity of change of the volumetric ratio.
Optionally, the rod 1 may include a target (for example, a magnetic body) to detect its passage in front of a detector placed opposite in the motor or integrated in the motor housing (for example a Hall effect sensor). Thus, a system is established for determining the length of the connecting rod 1 during its operation. We can alternatively prefer the known solution of DE102009013323. In general, the rod 1 and / or the engine in which the rod will be operated will advantageously be provided with a device for determining the volumetric ratio, this information may be useful for the control of the engine components. For this purpose, the engine or the device in which the rod 1 is made to operate may advantageously be equipped with the necessary sensors, a computer and associated programs for this determination, and its consideration for the control of other organs of the engine. This may be for example the known solution of the aforementioned document or the target and the detector constituting the system for determining the length of the connecting rod 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF NON-LIMITATIVE EMBODIMENTS As an example, the following paragraphs present various solutions of rods according to the invention and that are particularly suitable for operation in a combustion engine having the following characteristics: - Diameter combustion piston: 75 mm; - 84 mm stroke; - Tricylindre forming 1113 αηΛ3 of displacement; - Maximum load: 25 bar of PME (effective average pressure) for a maximum combustion pressure of 130b;
FIG. 8a represents a motor load behavior law - target volumetric ratio of this motor. As can be seen in FIG. 8b, this law translates into a maximum travel of the connecting rod of 4 mm between the maximum volumetric ratio and the minimum volumetric ratio.
FIG. 9 represents a first example of connecting rod 1 according to the invention and seeking to reproduce the law of behavior of FIGS. 8a and 8b.
In the rod 1 of Figure 9, the cylinder 2 of circular section is integral with the small end, and the piston 3 is associated via its rod 9 to the big end. The spacing of the connecting rod 1 is 150 mm, when it is in its nominal position and of the order of 146 mm when in its compressed position, in abutment. The opening of the cylinder 2 is closed by a cover 13, which can be screwed on the cylinder 2, to define in the cylinder 2 with the piston 3 the low pressure chamber 5. The bottom of the cylinder 2, meanwhile, defines with the piston 3 the low pressure chamber 5. The respective dimensions of the cylinder 2 and the piston 3, allow a travel of 4 mm from the connecting rod between its mechanical stops formed by the bottom of the cylinder 2 and the cover 13. This configuration of connecting rod 1 allows reaching respectively a minimum volumetric ratio of 10.3 and maximum of 17.6 when placed in the engine described above.
Similarly to what has been described in relation to FIG. 7b, the connecting rod has a double-stage piston formed by the shoulder 3c. The high pressure chamber 4 has a diameter of 26.5 mm, which represents a "useful" surface (that is to say the surface projected on the plane perpendicular to the axis of movement of the piston) of the fluid on the piston 3 from 552 ΐΐΐπιΛ2. The low pressure hydraulic chamber 5 has an internal diameter of 30 mm, and the rod 9 has a circular section with a diameter of 14 mm. As a result, the useful surface of the fluid of this chamber on the piston 3 is 553 ηιιτιΛ2, thus almost identical to that of the high pressure hydraulic chamber 4. The equivalent section condition is well respected.
In the piston 3, an indexing means in the form of a pin 12 is placed through an oblong opening of the cylinder 2 (whose length extends in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rod 1) in order to avoid the rotation of the piston 3 while allowing it to slide.
A spring is placed between the foot and the small end, so as to apply a return force to the rod 1. In this particular example, the spring has a stiffness of 454 N / mm; and applies a preload force of 1266 N.
The connecting rod 1 shown in FIG. 9 is particularly simple, and has a single calibrated duct 6 with an inside diameter of 0.44 mm to ensure the transfer of the hydraulic fluid from one chamber to the other under the effect of traction forces. and the compression exerted on the rod 1. In the example reproduced in this figure, and as is reproduced in more detail in Figure 9a, the duct 6 consists of two end segments 6i and 6i 'whose section has a diameter of the order of 4 mm and a central segment 6j of length 1 mm and section 0.44 mm. This configuration forms a calibrated duct with precision, and it can be determined that the flow law is of "turbulent" type in the operating conditions of the engine.
Figure 10 shows the behavior of the rod when it is put into operation in the engine whose characteristics have been previously specified. It is observed that at low engine speed, it is possible to follow with good precision the expected behavior law. At a higher engine speed, and although the overall behavior is quite acceptable and functional, it deviates however from the desired target behavior. In all cases, it is deduced from the curve shown in Figure 10, that the length of the connecting rod 1 is well adjusted according to the average efforts that apply to it. Furthermore, the hydraulic chambers 4, 5 and the piston 3 of this example being configured to have equivalent sections, the behavior (law connecting rod length -load) is essentially independent of the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
FIG. 11 represents a second example of connecting rod 1 according to the invention and seeking to reproduce the constitutive law of FIGS. 8a and 8b. The distance values of this second example are identical to those of the first example which has just been explained.
In this second example, the low and high pressure hydraulic chambers 5,4 are positioned on either side of the head of the connecting rod. The cylinder 2 extends partly in the small end, and partly in the connecting rod cap, each of these parts having a circular section of 23.5 mm in diameter. The piston 3 consists of two parts 3a and 3b, of the same section, cooperating respectively with the cylinder on the side of the small end and the side of the cap. This configuration naturally meets the equivalent section requirement.
The spring 7 is in this second example placed inside the connecting rod 1, which has a particularly significant space advantage, within a bore formed in the bottom of high pressure hydraulic chamber 4. The spring is supported on the bottom of this bore and, on the other side, on the exposed surface of the piston 3a, to exert its restoring force. It has a stiffness of 427 N / mm and has a preload force of 904 N.
The small end has two ducts 9a, 9b and a pressure limiter 9c forming discharge means 9 of the excessive pressure that could be formed in the high pressure chamber 4. The piston 3 is also provided with a filling means 8 from the low pressure hydraulic chamber 5 to hydraulic fluid.
The piston 3 is also provided with a first compression pipe 6b having, as is presented in more detail in FIG. 11a, a diameter of 0.43 mm at a central section 6bj, this section having a length of 1 mm, and a calibrated valve 14 at an opening pressure of 102.9 bar. As has been presented previously, the presence of this calibrated valve 14 makes it possible to limit the size and the stiffness of the spring 7, of much smaller size than in the preceding example, and to place it inside the small end .
The piston also has a second traction duct 6a, shown in more detail in FIG. 11b, the diameter of the orifice at a central section 6aj is 0.4 mm; and a calibrated valve 15 whose opening pressure is chosen at 0.7 bar.
FIG. 12 represents the behavior of the connecting rod of the second example when it is put into operation in the engine whose characteristics have been specified previously. It is observed that, whatever the engine speed, it is possible to follow with a good precision the expected law of behavior. Furthermore, the hydraulic chambers 4, 5 and the piston 3 being configured to have equivalent sections and the configuration of the ducts 6a, 6b allowing a "turbulent" type flow of the hydraulic fluid under the operating conditions of the engine, the behavior is essentially independent of the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
