Abstract

ABSTRACT

A process for the manufacture of a torsional vibration damper includes transforming an annular deformation region of a metal sheet to an inertia ring through cold forging and affixing the inertia ring to a hub ring by means of an intermediate layer of rubber. The metal sheet is supported during cold forging in a shape preserving manner at a holding region located radially inwardly of the deformation region.
The metal sheet is, in the deformation region, subjected to a radially inwardly directed upsetting action of an upsetting tool in such a way that a folding of the deformation region is substantially prevented.
The metal sheet is simultaneously rotated around its axis relative to the upsetting tool. The process provides for the simplified manufacture of torsional vibration dampers having a higher momentum of inertia and a higher efficiency-weight ratio. Subsequent cutting, forging or molding is substantially obviated.

Description

PROCESS FOR TH~ MANUFACTURE
OF A TORSIONAL VIBRATION DAMPER

The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a torsional vibration damper, wherein a metal sheet is formed into an inertia ring through cold forming of an annular deformation region and is affixed to a hub ring by means of an intermediate layer of rubber.

Such a process is known from German utility model 86 10 001.7, which teaches the shaping of the deformation region into a laterally open chamber in the axial direction, while avoiding change in the thickness of the metal sheet. It is a disadvantage of such a process that the material density at the outer circumference of the inertia ring, which mainly determines the resulting moment of inertia, is unsatisfactory. In addition, a rotary symmetrical productlon of such an inertia ring requires substantial know-how and high tooling cost.

The process of the present invention for the manufacture of a torsional vibration damper has the advantage that it provides a simplified manufacture of an inertia ring having a relatively high moment of inertia.

The process in accordance with the invention provides for the manufacture of torsional vibration dampers which have an advantageous efficiency-weight ratio. Furthermore, it is a special advantage that, in the manufacture of the inertia ring, a further processing such as cutting or molding is substantially obviated.

Accordingly, a process in accordance with the invention includes the steps of transforming a metal sheet into an inertia ring through cold forming of an annular deformat~on region thereof and affixing the inertia ring to a hub ring by means of an intermediate layer of rubber. The metal sheet is supported in a shape preserving manner at a holding region, which is located radially inwardly of the deformation region. Furthermore, the metal sheet is sub~ected to a .

radially lnwardly directed upsetting action of an upsetting tool and is simultaneously rotated about its axis relative to said tool, in such a manner that a folding of the deformation region ls substantially prevented. A high material density at the outer circumference of the resulting inertia ring may be easily achieved through the radial upsetting of the metal sheet in the annular deformation region in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis. The resulting inertia ring preferably has in all directions a larger thickness than that of the metal sheet at the start of the forming process. A ratio of 3:4 may be achieved if a metal sheet of steel is used.

The metal sheet used is preferably planar and circular. It is preferably clamped, without affecting its shape, between rotary symmetrical holding plates, which engage its front and rear surfaces, so that a relative displacement of the metal sheet in relation to the holding plates during the cold forming process is substantially prevented. This is very important for the manufacture of an inertia ring, which has a good rotary symmetry.
It is especially preferred to perform the radial upsetting of the deformation region by means of a roller tool. This tool preferably has a deforming roller which is rotatable about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the holding plates. An especially even deformation of the deformation region may be achieved therewith.
The deformation region may be upset in the axial direction to such an extent that the front and rear surfaces of the deformation region of the inertia ring come into close contact with the respective forming surfaces of the holding plates and the roller tool. As a result, the ~hape of the forming surfaces is copied onto the deformation region, which allows an exact and controlled shaping of the deformation region in order to achieve, for example, an inertia ring of symmetrical or unsymmetrical profile. In addition, the circumferential surface of the deformation region may be provided through the upsetting process with radially directed recesses. These recesses may be evenly ,.

The invention will now be further described by way of example only and with reference to the following drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 schematically illustrates the use of a process in accordance with the invention at the beginning of the shaping of the deformation region;

Figure 2 illustrates the process shown in Figure 1 at completion of the deformation;
Figure 3 is an axial cross-section through a finished torsional vibration damper manufactured by a process in accordance with the invention; and Figure 4 is a front view of the torsional vibration damper shown in Figure 3.

Figures 1 and 2 schematically illustrate the manufacture of an inertia ring by a process in accordance with the present invention.
In the preferred embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of a process in accordance with the invention for the manufacture of a torsional vibration damper, a sheet of steel in the shape of a flat, circular disk 1 is used. As shown in Figure 1, disk 1 is positioned in recesses 10 of holding plates 7 and i8 clamped under force between the holding plates in a clamping region 6 radially inwardly from a deformation region 12. A relative displacement of disk 1 in radial or circumferential direction during the subsequent shaping of deformation region 12 i8 thereby substantially prevented. For the shaping of deformation region 12, holding plates 7 are, together with the metal .. . . . . .

2~29439 sheet clamped therebetween, rotated relative to an upsetting tool 2 around a rotational axis 5. The tool 2 is preferably a roller tool 8 having a cylindrical forming surface 11. Tool 2 is rotatably supported parallel to and displaceable towards axis 5. The phsntom arrows in Figs. 1 and 2 indicate a relative movement of tool 2 from a starting position towards the disk as well as the movement of holding plates 7 towards the front and rear surfaces 15 and 18 of disk 1 for the clamping under force of the disk. A continuous displacement of roller tool 8 in this manner results in an engagement of forming surface 11 with the outer circumference of rotating disk 1 and a subsequent cold forging of deformation region 12 of the disk. The outer shape of deformation region 12 is progressively transformed to the shape of the respective forming surfaces 9 and 11 of the holding plates 7 and roller tool 8, until the final shape of inertia ring 14 shown in Figure 2 is reached. Inertia ring 14 is, after retraction of roller tool 8 to its starting position and moving apart of gripping plates 7, transferred into a vulcanization tool, wherein it is interconnected with the hub ring in a manner known in the art.

Figures 3 and 4 respectively illustrate an axial cross-section and a front view of a finished torsional vibration damper manufactured by a process in accordance with the present invention. The inertia ring 14 is connected with a hub ring 4 through an intermediate layer 3 made of rubber. Inertia ring 14 i8 provided along its outer circumference with radially directed, circumferentially extending grooves 16 which form a poly-V-profile and provide for the supporting of a poly-V-belt. The grooves are produced during or after the cold forming of the deformation region and by means of a roller tool so that no subsequent dressing of the inertia ring is required. A
different profile, for example, a gear or roller chain profile may be achieved in the same manner as described above when a roller tool 8 having appropriately shaped forming surfaces 9 is used. The finished torsional vibration damper is preferably mounted to the power train of a ~otor vehicle by bolts which extend through holes 20 provided in hub ring 4.
