Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description is intended only to teach one skilled in the art how to practice the invention, and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the scope of the invention.
The present invention provides a shifting rocker arm assembly with a vibration damping function that includes a shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 and a counterweight rocker arm subassembly 200.
Structure of gear shifting rocker arm assembly
Referring to fig. 1, the shift rocker arm subassembly 100 includes a shift rocker arm 10, a bushing 20, and a shift cable pin 30. The shifting rocker arm 10 can be produced by bending and/or stamping, for example, a metal sheet. The shifting rocker arm 10 includes a first end portion 11, a second end portion 12, and an intermediate portion 13 located between the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 12. The first and second end portions 11, 12 are substantially parallel, and the intermediate portion 13 is substantially perpendicular to the first and second end portions 11, 12, such that the first and second end portions 11, 12 are offset in an axial direction a along a shaft (see shaft 90 in fig. 3A) in a shift selecting operating mechanism of the transmission.
The first end 11 of the shifting rocker arm 10 is provided with a first shaft bore to which a bushing 20 is mounted, for example by interference fit. The bushing 20 may be made of, for example, a plastic material. The shift cable pin 30 may be riveted or the like to the second end 12 of the shift rocker arm 10. In the illustrated example, the shift cable pin 30 extends in a direction parallel to the axial direction a. At the connection between the intermediate portion 13 and the second end portion 12, a connection groove 14 is provided, the connection groove 14 being used to accommodate a finger 52 of a counterweight swing arm 50 described later.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3B, the bushing 20 includes a cylindrical portion 21 provided in the first shaft hole of the shift rocker arm 10 and a ring plate portion 22 provided on the lower side in the axial direction of the shift rocker arm 10.
Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 includes a sleeve 40, a weighted rocker arm 50, a cushion cap 60, and a weight 70.
The sleeve 40 includes a cylindrical portion 41 and a stopper portion 42 fixedly connected to one axial end (upper end in the drawing) of the cylindrical portion 41. The cylindrical portion 41 has an axial direction that coincides with the axial direction a, and is fixedly attached to a shaft 90 described later. The stopper portion 42 extends perpendicularly to the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 41.
The counterweight swing arm 50 has a substantially y-shaped plate shape and may be made of, for example, metal. The counterweight swing arm 50 includes a base 51, and a finger 52 and a counterweight mounting portion 53 that branch off from the base 51. A second shaft hole to which the other end (lower end in the drawing) in the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 41 of the sleeve 40 is fixedly connected by, for example, welding is provided in the base portion 51 of the counterweight rocker arm 50. One end portion of the base portion 51 is disposed opposite the flap portion 42 of the sleeve 40 in the axial direction a. A cushion cap 60, made of, for example, plastic, is fitted over the finger 52 of the weighted rocker arm 50 in an interference fit. The counterweight 70 is connected to the counterweight mounting portion 53 of the counterweight rocker arm 50 by, for example, caulking. The finger 52 is generally located between the base 51 and the weight mounting portion 53.
It should be understood that the shape of the weighted rocker arm 50 is not limited to a generally y-shape, and that various modifications and changes may be made to the structure and shape of the weighted rocker arm 50 depending on the structure, design requirements, installation space, etc. of the shifting rocker arm assembly.
The assembly process of the shifting rocker arm assembly according to the present invention is explained with reference to fig. 3A and 3B.
After the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 and the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 are assembled separately as shown in fig. 1 and 2A, the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 is first fixedly mounted to the shaft 90 in the gear selection operating mechanism by the bushing 40, for example, with an interference fit, and then the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 is clearance-fitted to the shaft 90 by the bushing 20 such that the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 is substantially located on the upper side of the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200. The inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 21 of the bush 20 is fitted to the shaft 90 with a clearance, and the lower surface of the annular plate portion 22 of the bush 20 is in contact with the upper end surface of the stopper portion 42 of the sleeve 40. When the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 is mounted to the shaft 90 through the bushing 20, the finger 52 and the bumper cap 60 thereon are caused to extend into the attachment slot 14 of the shifting rocker arm 10. Finally, the E-or C-shaped retainer ring 80 is snap-fit to the shaft 90. The retainer ring 80 and the sleeve 40 define the axial position of the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 because the retainer ring 80 is snap fit under the flange 91 of the shaft 90. The mounting position of the retaining ring 80 is such that the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 can move in the axial direction a within a predetermined range relative to the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200.
There may be a small gap between the buffer cap 60 and both sidewalls of the coupling groove 14 in opposite directions around the shaft 90. In other words, the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 and the counterweight rocker arm subassembly 200 are clearance fit in the direction of rotation of the shifting rocker arm assembly about the axial direction a.
It should be understood that the shaft 90 is only used to illustrate the manner of mounting and operation of the shifting rocker arm assembly of the present invention in a shift operating mechanism and that the shaft 90 is not an integral part of the shifting rocker arm assembly of the present invention.
After the gear shifting rocker arm assembly is assembled to a gear selecting and shifting control mechanism of a gearbox, the gear selecting and shifting control mechanism is assembled on the gearbox shell, wherein a gear shifting cable pin 30 is connected with a gear selecting and shifting control handle of a cab through a cable.
Implementation process of gear shifting function of gear shifting rocker arm assembly
With reference to fig. 3A and 3B, the implementation of the shifting function of the shifting rocker arm assembly of the present invention is described below.
When the driver operates the select shift lever to shift, the cable drives the shift cable pin 30 to rotate the shift rocker arm subassembly 100 about the axle 90. Since the shifting rocker arm 10 (bushing 20) of the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 is a clearance fit with the shaft 90, the shaft 90 does not rotate with the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100. Since the bumper cap 60 of the weighted rocker arm sub-assembly 200 (the finger 52 of the weighted rocker arm 50) is inserted into the attachment slot 14 of the shifting rocker arm 10, the shifting rocker arm sub-assembly 100 will rotate about the axis a with the bumper cap 60 after a slight rotation. Since the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 is fixedly connected to the shaft 90 via the sleeve 40, the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 will drive the shaft 90 to rotate together, ultimately achieving the shifting function.
Vibration damping function of gear shifting rocker arm assembly
When the automobile works, the vibration at the end of the engine is transmitted to the gearbox and then transmitted to the shaft 90 through the shell of the gear selecting and shifting control mechanism. Because the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 is clearance fit with the shaft 90 via the bushing 20, vibrations of the shaft 90 are not directly (or after being filtered) transferred to the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100.
Since the weighted rocker arm sub-assembly 200 is fixedly attached to the shaft 90, vibrations are transmitted to the weighted rocker arm sub-assembly 200. The bumper cap 60 on the finger 52 of the weighted rocker arm 50 is in a clearance fit with the shifting rocker arm 10 to filter out vibrations, and smaller amplitude vibrations are rejected, and larger amplitude vibrations are attenuated to smaller amplitude vibrations, and correspondingly, vibrations transmitted from the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 to the cab's shift lever handle are attenuated.
In short, the clearances between the bushing 20 and the shaft 90 and between the cushion cap 60 and the shift rocker arm 10 attenuate the transmission of vibrations, thereby achieving the purpose of vibration damping.
Implementation of the selection function of a selection and shift control mechanism comprising a shifting rocker arm assembly according to the invention
The implementation of the gear selection function of the gear selection operating mechanism comprising the gear selection rocker arm assembly of the present invention is briefly described below with reference to fig. 4.
When the driver operates the gear selecting and shifting control handle to select gears, the cable drives the gear selecting rocker arm 310 in the gear selecting rocker arm assembly 300, so that the ball head or the roller 320 swings around the rotating shaft 330. The ball or roller 320 is placed between the flap portion 42 of the sleeve 40 and the base portion 51 of the weighted rocker arm 50. Since the sleeve 40 is fixedly connected to the weighted rocker arm 50, the relative distance between the flap portion 42 of the sleeve 40 and the base portion 51 of the weighted rocker arm 50 remains constant. Further, the lower side of the shift rocker arm 10 is restricted by the sleeve 40, the upper side is restricted by the retainer 80, and the relative position of the shift rocker arm 10 and the shaft 90 in the axial direction a is also kept substantially constant. The sleeve 40 is fixedly connected to the shaft 90. Thus, manipulation of the select rocker arm 310 ultimately moves the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200, the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100, and the shaft 90 up and down in the axial direction a, thereby ensuring the select function. All parts have no interference in the axial direction A, and the gear selecting function is not influenced.
It should be understood that the gear selection rocker arm assembly 300 and the shaft 90 of fig. 4 are only used for illustrating the implementation of the gear selection function of the gear selection operating mechanism including the gear selection rocker arm assembly of the present invention, and the gear selection rocker arm assembly 300 and the shaft 90 can be used as components of the gear selection operating mechanism, but not components of the gear selection rocker arm assembly of the present invention.
The following briefly describes some of the benefits that may be obtained by the shifting rocker arm assembly and the shift operating mechanism comprising the shifting rocker arm assembly according to the present invention.
The gear shifting rocker arm assembly can be applied to gear selecting and shifting control mechanisms of most gearboxes, can effectively reduce vibration transmission, and is convenient to assemble, strong in adaptability, compact and simple in structure and low in cost.
More specifically, in the above embodiment, the shifting rocker arm assembly is divided into a loose-fitting shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 and a weighted rocker arm subassembly 200, the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 being for fixed assembly with the shaft 90 and the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 being for loose assembly with the shaft 90. Thus, vibrations from the engine end are not rigidly transmitted directly to the shift rocker arm 10 via the shaft 90, and vibrations of the shift lever handle transmitted by the shift rocker arm 10 to the cab can be reduced.
The shifting rocker arm 10 is clearance fitted to the shaft 90 via the bushing 20, both the clearance and the bushing 20 may act to filter vibrations, thereby reducing the transmission of vibrations from the shaft 90 to the shifting rocker arm 10.
The weighted rocker arm 50 is clearance fitted with the attachment slot 14 of the shifting rocker arm 10 via a bumper cap 60 that is fitted over the finger 52, both the bumper cap 60 and the clearance acting to filter vibrations, thereby reducing the transmission of vibrations from the weighted rocker arm 50 to the shifting rocker arm 10.
As shown in fig. 3A and 3B, the finger 52 (cushion cap 60) of the weighted rocker arm 50 is not only clearance fitted with the shift rocker arm 10 in the rotational direction of the shift rocker arm assembly about the axial direction a, but the finger 52 (cushion cap 60) can also move in the connecting groove 14 in the axial direction a. In this way, damping in both the axial and rotational directions can be achieved.
When the gear shifting rocker arm assembly is assembled on the shaft 90, the counterweight rocker arm subassembly 200 is fixedly assembled on the shaft 90, then the gear shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 is installed along the axial direction A, and finally the retainer ring 80 is clamped, so that the whole assembly process is simple.
It should be understood that the above embodiments are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and alterations of the above-described embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art in light of the teachings of the present invention without departing from the scope thereof.
(1) In the present invention, the shifting rocker arm 10 does not have to be clearance fitted with the shaft 90 via the bushing 20, and the first shaft hole of the shifting rocker arm 10 may be directly clearance fitted with the shaft 90.
Even further, the shifting rocker arm 10 may be fixedly mounted to the shaft 90. This is because, to some extent, the transmission of vibrations from the shaft 90 to the shifting rocker arm 10 is acceptable. An important aspect of the present invention is to mitigate the transmission of vibrations amplified by the counterweight 70 in the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 to the shifting rocker arm 10.
The axial position of the shifting rocker arm 10 need not be defined by the retaining ring 80, and the axial position of the shifting rocker arm 10 can be defined, for example, by punching the shaft 90 or inserting a pin or the like into a radial bore of the shaft 90.
(2) The manner of attachment of the counterweight rocker arm 50 to the shifting rocker arm 10 is not limited to a clearance fit between the finger 52 and the attachment slot 14. For example, a protrusion fixed to the shift rocker arm 10 may protrude into the attachment slot of the counterweight rocker arm 50. The location and orientation of the fingers 52 and the attachment slots 14 are also not limited to the examples shown in the figures.
For example, in an example not shown, the shift rocker arm 10 may be formed in a flat plate shape, and the finger 52 of the balance weight rocker arm 50 is bent upward to be inserted into a connecting groove of an intermediate portion of the shift rocker arm 10. At this time, for example, the shift cable pin 30 may extend downward from the second end 12 of the shift rocker arm 10.
(3) The cooperative mating of the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 and the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 is not limited to the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 being located on the upper side of the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200. For example, the weighted rocker arm subassembly 200 may be assembled to the upper side of the shifting rocker arm subassembly 100 so long as the components do not interfere with one another to enable gear selection and shifting operations.
(4) The bumper cap 60 may be omitted and the fingers 52 may be clearance fit with the coupler slots 14. At this time, the finger 52 is preferably heat treated to improve its wear resistance.
(5) The material of bushing 20 and bumper cap 60 is not limited to plastic, for example, the material forming bushing 20 and bumper cap 60 may include copper or PTFE or other composite materials, and the like.
The material forming the bushing 20 and the cushion cap 60 preferably has a hardness and/or coefficient of friction that is less than the hardness and/or coefficient of friction of the material (e.g., steel) forming the shift rocker arm 10 and the weighted rocker arm 50.
(6) The cylindrical portion 21 and the annular plate portion 22 of the bush 20 do not necessarily have to be integrally formed or formed in one piece, and the cylindrical portion 21 and the annular plate portion 22 may be separate cylindrical and annular plate members (spacers).
