Description

Kugelgelenk, insbesondere für Lenkgestänge von Kraftfahrzeugen Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Kugelgelenk, insbesondere für Lenkgestänge von Kraftfahrzeugen, bei welchem der Kugelkopf eines Zapfens in einem Sitzring aus elastischem Werkstoff ruht, wobei auf der Austrittsseite des Zapfens aus dem Gehäuse eine besondere elastische Tülle am Hals des Kugelzapfens anliegt.Ball joint, in particular for steering linkages in motor vehicles The invention relates to a ball joint, in particular for steering linkages of motor vehicles, in which the ball head of a pin in a seat ring made of elastic material rests, with a special elastic on the exit side of the pin from the housing Grommet rests against the neck of the ball stud.

Bei einem bekannten Kugelgelenk ist die Tülle nach Art eines Trichterrohres ausgebildet und mit ihrem den größeren Durchmesser aufweisenden Ende in die Öffnung des Gelenkgehäuses für den Austritt des Gelenkzapfens eingeschoben. Hier besteht die Gefahr, daß die Tülle beim Transport oder bei der Lagerhaltung herausfällt und verlorengeht.In a known ball joint, the grommet is in the form of a funnel tube formed and with its end having the larger diameter in the opening of the joint housing for the exit of the pivot pin. Here is the risk that the spout falls out during transport or storage and get lost.

Nach der Erfindung bildet die elastische Tülle in an sich bekannter Weise einen zusätzlichen Teil, der mit einem der Gehäuseöffnung zugewandten Rand flanschartig in das Gehäuse eingreift und dort festgelegt ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich neben dem Vorteil, daß die Tülle eine größere Elastizität als der elastische, den Kugelsitz bildende Körper aufweisen kann, der zusätzliche Vorteil, daß die Tülle am Gehäuse festgelegt ist und daher nicht verlorengehen kann, wobei das Festlegen der Tülle am Gehäuse in einfachster Weise bewirkt ist.According to the invention, the elastic grommet forms in a manner known per se Way an additional part, the one with an edge facing the housing opening engages flange-like in the housing and is fixed there. This results in in addition to the advantage that the grommet has a greater elasticity than the elastic, may have the ball seat forming body, the additional advantage that the grommet is fixed on the housing and can therefore not be lost, the fixing the grommet on the housing is effected in the simplest possible way.

Der flanschartige Rand der Tülle kann zwischen dem den Kugelsitz bildenden Einsatzkörper und der als Aufsetzfläche für den Einsatzkörper dienenden Gehäuseschulter am Austritt des Kugelzapfens aus dem Gelenkgehäuse liegen. Diese Anordnung bedingt keinerlei Abänderungen einer gegebenen Ausführungsform des Kugelgelenks.The flange-like edge of the grommet can be between that forming the ball seat Insert body and the housing shoulder serving as a contact surface for the insert body at the exit of the ball stud from the joint housing. This arrangement is conditional no modifications to a given embodiment of the ball joint.

Nach der Erfindung ist es auch möglich, die Tülle zu einer Ringscheibe zu verkleinern, welche zwischen dem Lagerkörper für den Kugelkopf auf der Austrittsseite des Gelenkzapfens aus dem Gehäuse und der dort für den Lagerkörper vorgesehenen Aufsetzschulter am Gehäuse angeordnet ist, mit ihrem Innenrand in mehr oder weniger spitzer Lippenform den Kugelkopf untergreift und unter Vorspannung am Kugelzapfen anliegt.According to the invention, it is also possible to convert the grommet into an annular disk to reduce the size between the bearing body for the ball head on the exit side of the pivot pin from the housing and the one provided there for the bearing body Aufsetzschulter is arranged on the housing, with its inner edge in more or less pointed lip shape engages under the ball head and pretensioned on the ball stud is present.

Die Zeichnung veranschaulicht zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung.The drawing illustrates two exemplary embodiments of the invention.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Kugelgelenk, bei welchem die Dichtungstülle flanschartig zwischen dem Lagerkörper für den Kugelkopf am Austritt dessen Zapfens aus dem Gehäuse und der Gehäuseaufsetzschulter für den Lagerkörper festgelegt ist; Fig.2 ist ein Schnitt durch ein Kugelgelenk mit zu einer Ringscheibe verkleinerter Dichtungstülle. Aus Fig.1 ist ein Kugelgelenk erkennbar, bei welchem der Kugelkopf 3 des Kugelzapfens 1 auf der dem Gehäuseverschluß zugewandten Seite in seiner Höhe zu einem Kugelabschnitt abgesetzt ist. Zwischen dem Kugelabschnitt und dem Teller 6 ist ein Zwischenstück 27 aus Kunststoff vorgesehen, wobei das Zwischenstück 27 zweckmäßig elastisch ist, was die Möglichkeit gibt, auf die Spiralfeder 2 zu verzichten, die zwischen dem Gehäusedeckel 9 und dem Teller 6 vorgesehen ist. Das Zwischenstück besitzt auf seiner dem Kugelabschnitt zugewandten Seite einen vorstehenden mittleren Teil 28, der in eine entsprechende Vertiefung der Absetzfläche 29 eingreift. Die Absetzfläche des Kugelkopfes hat leicht kegelige Form. In dem Zwischenstück ist eine mittlere Ausnehmung 30 auf der dem Teller 6 zugewandten Seite vorgesehen. Weitere Ausnehmungen 31 weisen die Anlageflächen des Zwischenstückes auf.Fig. 1 shows a ball joint in which the sealing grommet is like a flange between the bearing body for the ball head at the exit of the pin from the housing and the housing placement shoulder is fixed for the bearing body; Fig.2 is a Section through a ball joint with a sealing grommet reduced to an annular disc. From Figure 1, a ball joint can be seen in which the ball head 3 of the ball stud 1 on the side facing the housing lock in its height to a spherical section is discontinued. There is an intermediate piece between the spherical section and the plate 6 27 made of plastic, the intermediate piece 27 being expediently elastic, which gives the opportunity to do without the coil spring 2, which is between the Housing cover 9 and the plate 6 is provided. The adapter has on his the side facing the spherical section a protruding central part 28, which in a corresponding depression of the settling surface 29 engages. The settling area of the The ball head has a slightly conical shape. There is a central recess in the intermediate piece 30 is provided on the side facing the plate 6. Further recesses 31 have the contact surfaces of the intermediate piece.

Der Kugelsitz 32 besteht aus elastischem Kunststoff. Die elastische Tülle 18 bildet einen zusätzlichen Teil, dessen oberhalb der Gehäuseöffnung befindlicher Rand 33 flanschartig zwischen dem den Kugelsitz 32 bildenden Einsatzkörper und der als Aufsetzfläche für den Einsatzkörper dienenden Gehäuseschulter liegt.The ball seat 32 is made of elastic plastic. The elastic Grommet 18 forms an additional part, the one located above the housing opening Edge 33 like a flange between the insert body forming the ball seat 32 and the serves as a contact surface for the insert body housing shoulder.

In Fig. 2 sind die Pfannen, welche aus elastischem Werkstoff bestehen und zur Erhöhung der Elastizität auf ihrer Außenseite mit Einschnitten 46 in der Umfangsrichtung versehen sind, mit 42 bezeichnet. In diesen ist der Kugelkopf 3 gelagert. Die Tülle ist zu einer elastischen Ringscheibe 50 verkleinert, welche mit ihrem Innenrand mehr oder weniger spitz gegen den Hals 51 des Kugelzapfens 1 vorsteht und diesen umspannt.In Fig. 2 are the pans, which are made of elastic material and to increase the elasticity on its outside with incisions 46 in the Are provided in the circumferential direction, denoted by 42. The ball head 3 is in these stored. The grommet is reduced to an elastic ring disk 50, which with its inner edge more or less pointed against the neck 51 of the ball stud 1 protrudes and spans this.
