Abstract:
Es wird ein Verfahren zum Verbessern der Langzeitstabilität eines piezoelektrischen Aktors (1) beschrieben, der mit einer Vergussmasse (2) umgeben ist, die Wasserstoffatome enthält oder bildet. In der piezoelektrischen Keramik des piezoelektrischen Aktors ist Sauerstoff enthalten. Damit ungesättigte Bindungen des Wasserstoffs der Vergussmasse weniger Sauerstoff aus der piezoelektrischen Keramik lösen, werden entsprechende Mittel eingesetzt. Ein Mittel besteht darin, die Konzentration des Wasserstoffs in der Vergussmasse zu senken. Dabei werden nach dem Vergießen des piezoelektrischen Aktors mit der Vergussmasse entsprechende Wärmeprozesse durchgeführt, mit denen die Konzentration des Wasserstoffs unter eine vorgegebene Schwelle gesenkt wird. In weiteren Ausführungsformen sind Mittel vorgesehen, die Bindungen mit dem Wasserstoff der Vergussmasse bilden oder Sauerstoff der Vergussmasse zuführen.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric apparatus comprising a piezoelectric element (1) that is held in static compression is manufactured using moldable materials and a molding process, e.g., injection molding or die casting. The static compression is caused by an intrinsic urge of the moldable material to expand, contract, or deform otherwise, which develops in the material during the hardening phase of the molding process. To enhance the usefulness of the device, a variety of inserts can be connected to the device and various features can be formed by the moldable material at the same time as the molding process takes place. Static preloads may also be caused by mechanically preloaded elements that are introduced during the molding process or by elements that concurrently introduced but that are permanently deformed thereafter.
Abstract:
A method of assembling a piezoelectric actuator arrangement (10) comprises the steps of providing a piezoelectric element (12) having first and second ends and arranging the piezoelectric element (12) within a sleeve member (20) such that the inner surface of the sleeve member (20) defines, together with the outer surface of the piezoelectric element (12), a chamber (24) for receiving a first filler material (30). The first filler material (30) is injected into the chamber (24) and a heating effect is applied to the sleeve member (20) such that the sleeve member (20) deforms to seal against the first filler material (30). The invention also relates to a piezoelectric actuator arrangement (10) arranged within a sleeve member (20), an inner surface of the sleeve member (20) and an outer surface of the piezoelectric element (12) together defining, at least in part, a chamber (24) containing a filler material (30) such that, when the actuator arrangement (10) is in use, a force due to fuel pressure within an injector accumulator volume is applied to the piezoelectric element (12) through the sleeve member (20) and the filler material (30).

Abstract:
Il s'agit d'abaisser et de stabiliser de manière durable, résistante aux solvants et aux changements de température la conductibilité électrique superficielle de substrats à structure cristalline, polycristalline ou amorphe. A cet effet, on purifie chimiquement la surface du substrat que l'on met en contact avec du chlorotriméthylsilane ((CH3)3ClSi) dissous dans au moins un solvant, de préférence des hydrocarbures légèrement chlorés (par exemple du chloroforme ou du dichlorométhane). On laisse ensuite évaporer le solvant ainsi que les substances liquides ou gazeuses résultant de la réaction chimique. Les valences entrant en ligne de compte pour les réactions chimiques sur la surface du substrat sont saturées après passivation par des radicaux (CH3)3Si.
