Description

The present invention relates to a Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk, which can be installed in particular in side shaft or longitudinal shaft assemblies in motor vehicles. In particular, the Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk is used in floating propeller shaft assemblies, wherein at both ends of a torque transmitting shaft each a ball Gleichlaufverschiebgelenk is arranged. In particular, such cardan shaft assemblies can be used in rear-wheel drive vehicles in the rear axle.

In Kugelgleichlaufverschiebegelenken inner joint parts can move relative to outer joint parts in the axial direction against each other. With the inner joint part also moves a cage fixing the cage between the outer joint part and the inner joint part. Usually, the axial displacement is limited by stops between the inner joint part and the cage, wherein the cage is supported by the balls on the outer ball tracks in the region of the connection side in the outer joint part. Such Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk is for example from the DE 38 20 449 A1 known.

When mounting a shaft together with the inner joint part in the outer joint part of this stop between the inner joint part and cage is highly loaded. The inner joint part acts on the cage on the one hand in the axial direction but also in the radial direction. The cage can also be plastically deformed in particular by this radial force component. If the joining force is not limited here, the cage can be damaged when the shaft is pressed into the inner joint part. To limit the joining force are particularly high quality requirements on the profiles of the splines of shaft and inner joint part to make, which also take into account the distortions occurring in the often hardened teeth. If these quality requirements (in particular correspondingly exact fits) are not adhered to, the problems that occur can significantly reduce the output in the assembly under certain circumstances, eg. B. by required disassembly of Kugelgleichlaufverschiebegelenks and optionally replacement of the damaged components.

It is therefore an object of the invention to solve the problems described at least partially and in particular to ensure a trouble-free assembly of shaft, inner joint part and outer joint part for a Kugelgleichlaufverschiebegelenk. A pre-damage of the cages by the applied joining forces should be avoided, so that no disassembly or replacement of components is necessary. Consequently, the output in the assembly of such joints should be significantly increased.

These objects are achieved with a Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk according to the features of the protection claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of Kugelgleichlaufverschiebegelenks are specified in the dependent formulated protection claims. It should be noted that the features listed individually in the dependent subclaims can be combined with one another in any technologically meaningful manner and define further embodiments of the invention. In addition, the features specified in the protection claims are specified and explained in more detail, wherein further preferred embodiments of the invention are shown.

Thus, a Kugelgleichlaufverschiebegelenk is proposed here, which has at least one outer joint part with outer ball tracks and an inner joint part with inner ball tracks, and a cage arranged therebetween with cage windows for receiving balls. In each case an outer ball track and an inner ball track form a pair of tracks for guiding a ball. The inner joint part is slidable with respect to the outer joint part in an axial direction, the outer joint part has a connection side and an opening side, and on the connection side, a first stop for cooperation with an outer surface of the cage. The first stopper at least partially surrounds the outer surface of the cage and thus supports it in a radial direction and in the axial direction and thus limits an axial displacement path of the cage relative to the outer joint part towards the connection side.

In particular, this is a Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk, in which the inner joint part relative to the outer joint part by at least 2 mm, in particular by at least 5 mm, and preferably can be displaced by at least 16 mm in the axial direction. Furthermore, it is preferred that the displacement is a maximum of 40 mm. Thus, it differs in particular from ball tracking (fixed) joints, in which an inner joint part against the outer joint part can not be moved. In such joints a shift in the axial direction is already excluded by the corresponding design of the ball tracks or there are, for. B. spherical outer surfaces or inner surfaces of the outer joint part, cage and inner joint part provided so that a mutual guidance on these surfaces.

In particular, in the present invention, such a guide is not present in the axial direction. Inner joint part and thus also the cage are compared to the outer joint part in the axially displaceable. The position of the balls is determined in particular by control forces, which are transmitted from the outer joint part via the outer ball tracks and / or the inner joint part on the inner ball tracks on the balls.

The outer joint part is preferably formed in the manner of a bell, wherein the shaft engages in a receptacle of the bell on the opening side and on the so-called (closed) joint bottom on the connection side a wave extension is formed.

Preferably, the number of pairs of tracks, the cage window and the balls is 6 or 8 or 10, respectively.

The first stop is in particular embodied on the end side in the inner joint part, wherein preferably a completely circumferential first stop is formed for the contact of the outer surface of the cage. The first stop is used in particular (only) to cooperate with the cage when the shaft is joined in the pre-assembled joint. The first stop may be designed in the manner of a circumferential shoulder or a circumferential chamfer. Of course, it is also possible that a plurality of (uniformly distributed over the circumference) first stops are formed. The first paragraph is arranged in particular in a region of the outer joint part, which adjoins directly to the outlet of the outer ball tracks towards the so-called (closed) joint bottom at the connection side of the outer joint part.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the inner joint part has at least one second stop for cooperation with an inner surface of the cage, wherein the inner surface at least partially surrounds the second stop, so that the inner joint part is supported relative to the cage in a radial direction and in the axial direction and thus an axial displacement of the inner joint part relative to the cage and the outer joint part is limited.

The at least one second stop is designed in particular on at least one web, preferably on all webs, of the inner joint part between the inner ball tracks. The second stop is used in particular (only) to cooperate with the cage when the inner joint part is joined to the cage in the outer joint part or when the cage (also) cooperates with the first stop of the outer joint part. The second stop can be designed in the manner of a shoulder, a (local) curvature or a chamfer.

In particular, the second stop is formed by a largest outer diameter of the inner joint part, which is larger than the smallest inner diameter of the cage. In a stretched arrangement and flexion angles of up to about 22 degrees of angle, the inner joint part is thus not to be removed from the cage. Dismantling is only possible by an even greater deflection of the inner joint part relative to the cage.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the first stop and / or the second stop is conical or spherical (ie in particular spherical).

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the first stop comprises the outer surface of the cage in a circumferential direction of the outer joint part in full.

When mounting a shaft with the inner joint part is trying to push the shaft in and in particular through a bore of the inner joint part /, so that in the bore, on the front or on the back of the inner joint part z. B. a locking ring can be arranged, which allows a locking of the shaft relative to the inner joint part in the axial direction.

During assembly of the ball tracking sliding joint, the inner joint part is displaced by the joining force of the shaft toward the connection side of the outer joint part. The inner joint part also pushes the cage and the balls in the direction of the connection side of the outer joint part. The cage now encounters the first stop and is encompassed by its outer surface through this and supported in the radial and in the axial direction. The inner joint part presses against the cage, in particular via the second stop. A deformation of the cage, in particular in the radial direction, but is now prevented by the first stop or at least reduced. In particular, the cage deforms in the radial direction exclusively in the elastic region, so that after the assembly of the shaft, the cage "springs back" into its original shape. In particular, a plastic deformation of the cage is prevented because the cage is supported by the contact surface of the first stop.

The provision of the first stop so that the required high joining forces can be applied to the shaft. The fits between the profiles of the shaft and the inner joint part must therefore not be made more accurate. Damage to the cage is prevented and deployment in the assembly can be increased.

In particular, it is proposed that the co-operating with the first stop outer surface of the cage (radial) with respect to the second stop cooperating inner surface of the cage is arranged.

The cage is now in particular clamped between the inner joint part and outer joint part (ie in particular between the second stop and the first stop). In particular, there is no linear, optionally circulating, contact between the second stop and the inner surface of the cage and between the outer surface of the cage and the first stop on the outer joint part, but in particular in each case a two-dimensional contact.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the inner ball tracks and outer ball tracks each have a straight center line.

According to a preferred refinement, at least one part (ie, in particular half, preferably all) of the inner ball tracks and outer ball tracks are inclined relative to the axial direction in a circumferential direction by one (non-zero) inclination angle. The angle of inclination is preferably in the range of 2 to 16 angular degrees, in particular in a range of 11 to 16 angular degrees.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the inner and outer ball tracks are arranged inclined relative to the axial direction in a radial direction by a respective tilt angle (different from zero). The tilt angle is preferably in the range of 2 to 16 angular degrees.

In particular, the angle of inclination and tilt angle are combined here with one another, so that the individual inner and outer ball tracks are oriented inclined in each case by an inclination angle and moreover by a respective tilt angle.

In particular, the inclination and tilt angle of the respective inner and outer ball tracks forming a pair of tracks are each the same amount, but each oriented differently or oppositely for inner and outer ball tracks.

In particular, in the circumferential direction adjacent inner ball tracks and adjacent outer ball tracks are each inclined and / or tilted in different directions.

In particular, one half of the pairs of tracks (that is, four out of eight or five out of ten, etc.) have inner and outer ball tracks parallel to the axial direction and the other half of the pairs of tracks inner and outer ball tracks opposite to the axial direction in the circumferential direction inclined at an inclination angle. The angles of inclination for each of the inner ball tracks and for each of the outer ball tracks are the same orientation and oriented for the inner ball tracks opposite the outer ball tracks of a pair of tracks but opposite, with the different pairs of tracks are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction. In particular, the Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk has eight pairs of tracks. Such joints are referred to as SC joints.

In particular, the Kugelgleichlaufverschiebegelenk has balls with different diameters. In particular, balls of the same diameter are arranged in the identically designed track pairs. In particular, the balls are arranged with larger diameters in the pairs of tracks with inner and outer ball tracks, which are parallel to the axial direction.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the inner joint part with respect to the outer joint part by at least 5 degrees, and in particular by at least 10 degrees, and preferably by at least 15 angular degrees deflected when the inner joint part is displaced towards the outer joint part in the axial direction maximum (towards the connection side of the outer joint part) and In this case, the outer surface of the cage and the first stop, possibly in addition the inner surface of the cage and the second stop touch. In particular, even a surface contact between the outer surface of the cage and the first stop is realized.

It is further proposed a joint assembly comprising at least two interconnected by a shaft constant velocity joints, wherein at least one (and preferably both) is a Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk according to the invention, wherein the first stop is arranged so that it contacts the cage exclusively during assembly of the joint assembly ,

Thus, in particular, such a large axial displacement path is provided in the outer joint part that, during operation of the joint, interaction of the first stop and the outer surface of the cage does not occur.

It is further proposed a joint assembly comprising at least two interconnected by a shaft constant velocity joints, wherein at least one (and preferably both) is a Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk according to the invention, wherein the first stop is arranged so that it during operation of the joint assembly, a stop for limiting the forms axial displacement.

In this case, the first stop is designed in particular spherical or spherical, so that Even during the deflection of the inner joint part relative to the outer joint part, a flat contact between the first stop and the outer surface of the cage is possible.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the joint arrangement is designed in the manner of a side shaft arrangement for rear-wheel drive motor vehicles. In particular, a joint arrangement with two SC joints according to the invention is proposed.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the joint arrangement is designed as a longitudinal shaft arrangement for a motor vehicle.

The present invention is further directed to a motor vehicle having a drive unit and wheels, wherein at least one inventive ball tracking sliding joint and / or a joint arrangement according to the invention for transmitting torque from the drive unit to the wheels is executed.

About the opening side 12 is an inner joint part 4 , a cage 6 and bullets 8th in the outer joint part 2 arranged. The cage 6 becomes over, at least partially, parallel to the axial direction 10 extending cage guide surfaces 34 guided, allowing a shift of the cage 6 opposite the outer joint part 2 about an axial displacement 16 is possible. In 3 is in the area of the connection side 11 the first stop 13 of the outer joint part 2 to recognize, with the first stop 13 in this representation (such as during normal operation) is not engaged with the outer surface 14 of the cage 6 stands.

In the outer joint part 2 Extend outer ball tracks 3 in the axial direction 10 as well as in the circumferential direction 17 , so run against the central axis 35 around a tilt angle 19 inclined.

It can be seen that the outer ball tracks 3 at least partially in the area of the first attack 13 extend into it, wherein this is in the circumferential direction 17 extends circumferentially. Furthermore, it can be seen that the centerlines 18 the adjacent outer ball tracks 3 each alternately oppositely oriented inclination angle 19 exhibit.

8th shows a Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk 1 with outer joint part 2 and inner joint part 4 , wherein the inner joint part 4 opposite the outer joint part 2 in the axial direction 10 around the maximum axial displacement 16 was moved. It can be seen that the outer surface 14 of the cage 6 with the first stop 13 at the outer joint part 2 engaged or in contact. Gleichermäßen can be seen that the second stop 33 of the inner joint part 4 with the inner surface 32 of the cage 6 engaged or in contact, so that the cage 6 between first stop 13 and second stop 33 is trapped. The second stop 33 is here on the jetties 36 of the inner joint part 4 educated. The inner joint part 4 has a largest outer diameter 37 on, which is larger than the smallest inner diameter 38 of the cage 6 , Between neighboring bridges 36 are the ball tracks 3 (at the outer joint part 2 ) and 5 (at the inner joint part 4 ) educated. When mounting a shaft 22 (not shown here) with the inner joint part 4 becomes the wave 22 in the spline 31 of the inner joint part 4 pushed. Strong joining forces act in the axial direction 10 , It can be seen that the first stop 13 the outer surface 14 of the cage 6 in the radial direction 15 and in the axial direction 10 includes. A (plastic) deformation of the cage 6 gets it through the first stop 13 of the outer joint part 2 prevented. Optionally, here is an elastic deformation of the cage 6 possible (by appropriate match between the first stop 13 and the outer surface 14 of the cage 6 ). Damage to the cage 6 can thus be avoided, since this now also in the radial direction 15 through the outer joint part 2 is supported.

9 shows the Kugelgleichlaufverschiebgelenk according to 8th in a perspective view in section (see section AB in 2 ), whereby it can also be seen here that the inner joint part 4 opposite the outer joint part 2 in the axial direction 10 around the maximum axial displacement 16 was moved.

It can be clearly seen that the balls 8th not at one end of the outer ball tracks 3 support. The during assembly of shaft 21 (not shown) and inner joint part 4 occurring joining forces are here from the inner joint part 4 over the second stop 33 on the inner surface 32 of the cage 6 and from the outside surface 14 of the cage 6 at the first stop 13 at the outer joint part 2 transfer. Since the force introduction into the cage 8th on opposite sides of the cage 8th is done, is a deformation of the cage 8th only to be expected at very high forces.

In particular, that's the first stop 13 contacting outer surface 14 of the cage 6 spherically shaped so that even when contact between first stop 13 and outer surface 14 a bending of the inner joint part 4 opposite the outer joint part 2 is possible.

11 shows a representation of the arrangement of the outer ball tracks 3 in the outer joint part 2 a ball tracking sliding joint 1 with eight balls 8th , wherein one half (four ball tracks) of the outer ball tracks 3 parallel to the axial direction 10 and the other half of the outer ball tracks 3 opposite to the axial direction 10 around a tilt angle 19 inclined. The differently designed outer ball tracks 3 are in the circumferential direction 17 each arranged alternately.
