Head plate assembly for an actuator and method for producing an actuator
View Patent ↗A head plate assembly ( 1 ) for an actuator, has a cover ( 2 ), a lead-through ( 3 ), at least one connecting pin ( 4 ) led through the lead-through ( 3 ), and a seal ( 5 ) obturating the lead-through of the connecting pin. The head plate assembly ( 1 ) is pre-assembled without the actuator.
1. A head plate assembly for an actuator, comprising
a cover for covering the actuator,
at least one feed-through disposed in the cover,
at least one connecting pin guided through the feed-through for electrically contacting the actuator,
wherein the connecting pin is sufficiently long to extend over at least a large part of the length of an actuator body, and
a seal closing the feed-through, wherein
the seal is a glass seal, and
the head plate assembly is preassembled without the actuator, further comprising a retainer for spatial fixing of an actuator body, wherein the retainer comprises an actuator cage, and an edge protector for protecting an axially running edge of the actuator body, the edge protection having an axially running bridge.
2. The head plate assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the glass seal is a sealed-in glass seal.
3. The head plate assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting pin has at least one flat side.
4. The head plate assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cover consists at least partially of metal or ceramic.
5. The head plate assembly as claimed in claim 1 , comprising a retainer for spatial fixing of an actuator body, the retainer being preassembled in the head plate assembly without the actuator body.
6. The head plate assembly as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a retainer for spatial fixing of an actuator body, the retainer comprising two connecting pins, top and bottom actuator cages, and two edge protectors that comprise axially running bridges extending between the top and bottom actuator cages, wherein the edge protectors are positioned to cover two axially running opposite edges of the actuator body, wherein the two edge protectors, the two connecting pins and two other axially running edges of the actuator body together form a polygon with at least six corners in order to facilitate wire-wrapping.
7. An actuator having a head plate assembly comprising
a cover for covering the actuator,
at least one feed-through disposed in the cover,
at least one connecting pin guided through the feed-through for electrically contacting the actuator,
wherein the connecting pin is sufficiently long to extend over at least a large part of the length of an actuator body, and
a retainer mounted to the cover for spatial fixing of an actuator body, the retainer comprising top and bottom actuator cages and two edge protectors that comprise axially running bridges extending between the top and bottom actuator cages, wherein the tip actuator cage has a feed-through and the at least one connecting pin guided through the feed-through for electrically contacting the actuator,
a seal closing the feed-through, wherein
the seal is a glass seal, and
the head plate assembly is preassembled without the actuator.
8. The actuator as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a Bourdon spring and a bottom plate connected to the Bourdon spring for applying a pretension to the actuator body, the Bourdon spring being connected to the head plate assembly.
9. The actuator as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the actuator is sealed by means of a sealing compound.
10. The actuator as claimed in claim 7 , comprising a metal housing and a sealing diaphragm to ensure that the actuator is sealed to the outside.
11. An injector for an internal combustion engine having an actuator comprising a head plate assembly comprising
a cover for covering the actuator,
at least one feed-through disposed in the cover,
at least one connecting pin guided through the feed-through for electrically contacting the actuator,
wherein the connecting pin is sufficiently long to extend over at least a large part of the length of an actuator body, and
a retainer mounted to the cover for spatial fixing of an actuator body, the retainer comprising top and bottom actuator cages and two edge protectors that comprise axially running bridges extending between the top and bottom actuator cages, wherein the tip actuator cage has a feed-through and the at least one connecting pin guided through the feed- through for electrically contacting the actuator,
a seal closing the feed-through, wherein
the seal is a glass seal, and
the head plate assembly is preassembled without the actuator.
12. An injection system for an internal combustion engine having an injector as claimed in claim 11 .
13. A head plate assembly for an actuator, comprising
a cover for covering the actuator,
at least two feed-through disposed in the cover,
at least two connecting pins guided through the feed-throughs for electrically contacting the actuator,
wherein the connecting pins are sufficiently long to extend over at least a large part of the length of an actuator body, and
seals closing the feed-throughs, wherein
the seals are glass seals,
a retainer for spatial fixing the actuator body, the retainer comprising top and bottom actuator cages and two edge protectors that comprise axially running bridges extending between the top and bottom actuator cages, wherein the two edge protectors are positioned to cover two axially running opposite edges of the actuator body, wherein the top actuator cage is mounted to the cover and has at least two feed-throughs such that the at least two connecting pins are guided through the feed-throughs in the top actuator cage for electrically contacting the actuator, wherein the two edge protectors, the two connecting pins and two other axially running edges of the actuator body together form a polygon with at least six corners in order to facilitate wire-wrapping,
the head plate assembly is preassembled without the actuator.
14. The head plate assembly as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the glass seal is a sealed-in glass seal.
15. The head plate assembly as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the at least two connecting pins have at least one flat side.
16. The head plate assembly as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the cover comprises at least partially a metal or a ceramic.
17. The actuator as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising a Bourdon spring and a bottom plate connected to the Bourdon spring for applying a pretension to the actuator body, the Bourdon spring being connected to the head plate assembly.
18. The actuator as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the actuator is sealed by means of a sealing compound.
19. The actuator as claimed in claim 13 , comprising a metal housing and a sealing diaphragm to ensure that the actuator is sealed to the outside.
