Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of roller chain of metallic material, it has the inner link that replaces mutually and outer link and is connected with each other by link in all cases, wherein outer link comprises two parallel outer plates, link together by two parallel connecting pins, and inner link comprises two parallel inner plates, link together by two parallel coupling sleeves, the coupling sleeve that the connecting pin of outer link passes inner link in all cases links to form, and disposes rotating roller on the outer surface of coupling sleeve.
The example of roller chain can be found in US 5382199 A, GB 2398852 A, EP 0257661 A and US 5799479 A.
Background technique
The roller chain of this type obtains very frequent use, is particularly requiring chain to have in the application of good acoustic characteristic.Be configured in the roller in order to rotate on the coupling sleeve,, guaranteed when meeting, compare, correspondingly produce the noise of reduced levels with comparable telescopic chain with sprocket wheel owing to its rotational support.Yet the telescopic chain suitable with size compared, and the inferior position of roller chain is that it has the fatigue strength lower than telescopic chain.Must consider that in various application giving acoustic problems with preference still is that the fatigue strength problem is worked as.In some applications, for example significant space problem during as the timing chain on the internal-combustion engine, can be taken place in roller chain, to such an extent as to use the gap of chain of standard very limited.
Therefore, target of the present invention provides the roller chain of mentioning in a kind of foreword, and it has higher fatigue strength and also has good acoustic characteristic.
Summary of the invention
According to the present invention, the solution of this target is, the height of outer plate and inner plate and the size of roller outer diameter than greater than 1.4 and the size of the average thickness of inner plate and the average thickness of outer plate than greater than 1.1.The standard roller chain is relatively demonstrated with the chain that provides according to the present invention (wherein the external diameter of roller equates), and the roller chain that provides according to the present invention has significantly higher outer plate or inner plate.And because this dissimilar configuration makes the increase of inner plate thickness help to significantly improve potential fatigue strength.Because particularly higher outer plate and inner plate and can be used for most chain-driven with the inner plate (particularly otherwise size is basic identical) of to a certain degree thickening, the raising that additional advantage is fatigue strength is only because higher outer plate and inner plate reach thicker inner plate produces.Therefore, telescopic chain and standard roller chain can be substituted by this roller chain that the present invention provides, and need not by any way chain-driven to be made any change.Outer plate that this is higher and inner plate height can be accepted by the common pulling force displacement that is provided by pull bar (tensioning bar) and chain adjuster unquestionablely.When the pitch of roller keeps identical with external diameter, need not to change, particularly sprocket wheel is changed.We can say in a word, compare with the standard roller chain, extended and do not weaken its function to the relevant cross section of important inner plate of fatigue strength and outer plate.Opposite with the solution that provides according to the invention in the design of US2004/0192482 A1, connect area and enlarged, therefore obtained better wear resistance.On the contrary, the present invention is intended to improve fatigue strength, particularly has under the situation of medium mean tension.The average thickness of inner plate and outer plate has the thickness of link plates of identical weight (for identical external frame, size and interior profile (opening) and same material) and plane-parallel side surface in order to expression.According to this definition, for example the shaping inner plate that provides according to US 5799479 demonstrates and the essentially identical average thickness of relevant outer plate.And the plotting error of Fig. 6 can't be passed on so a kind of technology in this open text.
Most of existing chain-driven help to improve in addition the fatigue strength of roller chain, and need not sprocket wheel is changed.In this respect, the size of the chain that provides according to the variation scheme average thickness that demonstrates inner plate and the average thickness of outer plate is than greater than 1.2.Under the situation that most of chain-driven be need not to change, its upper limit maximum should be 1.5 or be preferably 1.4.
Especially, for roller chain,, will be favourable if outer plate and inner plate present equal height according to a variation scheme as the timing chain on the internal-combustion engine.For this reason, to present consistent height also can be favourable if outer plate and inner plate are symmetrical in vertical center line between nose circle separately.This definition is meant that the last lower limb of carrier bar is parallel to each other and equates with respect to longitudinal center's linear distance of chain.
Known a particularly advantageous variation scheme of the combined effect about acoustic characteristic and fatigue strength, wherein the height of outer plate and inner plate compares greater than 1.45 and less than 1.55 with the size of roller outer diameter.
To this preferably, the height of inner plate and outer plate is chosen as greater than 1.48 and less than 1.52 with the size ratio of roller outer diameter.Adopt this scope, also can imagine this roller chain and can be used as the alternative that has now in the chain-driven.
According to a variation scheme,, can obtain the alternative roller chain of standard roller chain easily when the size of roller outer diameter and chain pitch during than maximum value with 0.71.Although the wear resistance of link can not obtain raising by such measures, compare with the standard roller chain, for medium average load, this roller chain provides higher serviceability.
In addition, the height of inner plate and outer plate can be 0.97 to 1.1 with the size ratio of the pitch of roller chain.
In addition, the connecting pin external diameter can reach 0.39 with the size of pitch than maximum.And, can guarantee like this to compare with conventional chain, need not to enlarge the connection area basically.
According to a variation scheme, when the size of the height of outer plate and connecting pin external diameter than greater than 2.7, be preferably 2.85 and less than 3.1, be preferably at 3.0 o'clock, can obtain further influence to fatigue strength.
In a variation scheme, another size of additional geometry optimization that is used for roller chain is than being the height of inner plate and the size ratio of the external diameter of coupling sleeve.This size is preferably 2.05, and less than 2.3, is preferably 2.15 than greater than 1.9.
Because the roller chain that provides according to the present invention is mainly as the timing chain in the internal-combustion engine, in one embodiment, using a kind of steel, is a kind of Tempered Steel specifically, as the metallic material of outer plate and inner plate, coupling sleeve, connecting pin and roller.
Compare with the minimum sandards ultimate strength by the single roller chain that has same pitch, identical roller outer diameter and be manufactured from the same material of DIN 8187, the minimum ultimate strength of this single roller chain rises at least 1.4 times.
In addition, when as the timing chain in the internal-combustion engine, compare with the single roller chain that has same pitch, identical roller outer diameter, is manufactured from the same material and has identical test condition in by 2000 to 5000rpm scope by DIN 8187, this single roller chain can show average reduction noise of air and the structure-borne noise of 2dB at least of 1dB at least.
