Schutzabdichtung für Gelenkverbindungen von KraftfahrzeugwellenProtective seal for articulated connections of motor vehicle shafts
Der Schutz von Gelenkverbindungen drehender Gelenkwellen wird in der Regel durch sogenannte Schutzbalge erzielt, und zwar insbesondere im Bereich des Automobilbaus. Die Federwege der Aufhängung und die Winkeländerungen der Radspuren eines Kraftfahrzeuges erfordern eine Vorrichtung, welche wesentliche Dimensionsänderungen aufnehmen kann, dabei aber die Gelenke gegen korrosive Umwelteinflüsse und gegen inneren Verschleiß schützt.The protection of articulated connections of rotating cardan shafts is usually achieved by so-called protective bellows, in particular in the field of automobile construction. The suspension travel and the changes in the angle of the wheel tracks of a motor vehicle require a device that can accommodate significant dimensional changes, but protects the joints against corrosive environmental influences and internal wear.
Derartige Schutzbalge können drehfest mit den zu schützenden Teilen verbunden sein. In diesem Falle sind sie erheblichen Spannungen insbesondere infolge der auftretenden Zentrifugalkräfte ausgesetzt, welche eine Axiswölbung der Verbindungsbalge, eine Erhöhung des radialen Platzbedarfes und eine Ansammlung der Schmiermittel im radial äußeren Bereich der Schutzbälge zur Folge haben, was zu einer schlechten Schmierung der Gelenkteile führt. Hierdurch wird die Lebensdauer solcher Gelenke wesentlich herabgesetzt. Such protective bellows can be non-rotatably connected to the parts to be protected. In this case they are substantial Tensions are exposed in particular as a result of the centrifugal forces that occur, which cause an axial curvature the connecting bellows, an increase in the radial space requirement and an accumulation of lubricants in the radial result in the outer area of the protective bellows, which leads to poor lubrication of the joint parts. Through this the service life of such joints is significantly reduced.
Weiterhin müssen die Schutzbalge, die an schwingenden Teilen wie den gelenkten Rädern eines Fahrzeuges befestigtFurthermore, the protective bellows must be attached to vibrating parts such as the steered wheels of a vehicle

sind, erheblichem Verschleiß widerstehen, der sich bei einer Pumpbewegung im Sinne eines periodischen Schließens und Öffnens der Falten des Balges ergibt, wenn die Verbindungsebene gegenüber der Drehachse einen Winkel einschließt. um diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, ist es bekannt, solche Schutzbälge drehfest, also nicht drehend anzuordnen.are able to withstand significant wear and tear that occurs in a Pumping movement in the sense of a periodic closing and opening of the folds of the bellows results when the connection plane forms an angle with respect to the axis of rotation. in order to avoid these disadvantages, it is known to use protective bellows of this type rotatably, so not to be arranged rotating.
In diesem Fall wird das Ende des Faltenbalges an der Seite des Gelenkes an einem festen Stützteil der Gelenkverbindung befestigt, während das andere Ende des Balges die Welle umgibt und auf dieser mittels eines Kugel- oder Einglagers zentriert wird, welches eine Relativdrehung der Welle und eine gleichzeitige Abdichtung der Verbindung gewährleistet.In this case, the end of the bellows on the side of the joint is attached to a fixed support part of the joint fixed, while the other end of the bellows surrounds the shaft and on this by means of a ball or single bearing is centered, which ensures a relative rotation of the shaft and a simultaneous sealing of the connection.
Diese Lösungsmöglichkeit weist jedoch Probleme im Hinblick auf die Abdichtung im Bereich dieses Lagers an der Welle auf. Bei einer solchen Baugruppe wird getrennt für den Schutz und für die Schmierung der Gelenke gesorgt und bleibt die Abdichtung der gegeneinander beweglichen Teile schwierig dauerhaft zu gewährleisten, so daß eine wirklich dauernde Schmierung dieser Gelenke gewährleistet werden muß.However, this possible solution has problems with regard to the sealing in the area of this bearing on the shaft. In such an assembly, the protection and lubrication of the joints is provided separately and the seal remains of the mutually moving parts difficult to ensure permanently, so that a really permanent lubrication these joints must be guaranteed.
Zur Vermeidung dieser Nachteile wird erfindungsgemäß im Prinzip vorgeschlagen, eine Schutzabdichtung zu schaffen, welche ein Entweichen von Fett oder sonstigen Schmiermitteln für die dauerhafte Schmierung der Gelenke sicher und zeitliche Begrenzung vermeidet.To avoid these disadvantages, according to the invention in Proposed principle to create a protective seal, which prevents the escape of grease or other lubricants for the permanent lubrication of the joints safe and time limit avoids.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist bei einer Schutzabdichtung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 umrissenen Gattung vorgesehen, daß das andere Ende der Balgwand in einem im wesentlichen zylindrischen Teil verlängert ist, welcher sich über seine ganze Länge um die Welle herum erstreckt und an seinem der Balgwand gegenüberliegenden Ende in einer zwei-To solve this problem, the generic type outlined in the preamble of claim 1 is provided for a protective seal, that the other end of the bellows wall is extended in a substantially cylindrical part which extends extends over its entire length around the shaft and at its end opposite the bellows wall in a two-

In bevorzugter Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Mittelteil mittels eines frei auf der Welle gelagerten Abstandsringes im Abstand von der Welle gehalten, wobei der Abstandsring durch eine Lagerausnehmung in der Innenwand des Mittelteiles axial lagegesichert ist.In a preferred development of the invention, the middle part is held at a distance from the shaft by means of a spacer ring freely mounted on the shaft, the spacer ring is axially secured in position by a bearing recess in the inner wall of the central part.
Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung einer Ausführungsform anhand der Zeichnung, insbesondere in Verbindung mit den zusätzlichen Ansprüchen.Further details, features and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawing, in particular in conjunction with the additional claims.
Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt einen Schnitt durch eine erfindungsgemäße Schutzabdichtung an einer Welle.The single figure of the drawing shows a section through a protective seal according to the invention on a shaft.
In der Zeichnung ist mit 1 eine Antriebs- oder Getriebewelle dargestellt, die durch eine Ausgangswelle einer insgesamt mit 3 bezeichneten Antriebsgruppe drehend antreibbar ist. Die Verbindung zwischen den Wellen 1 und 2 erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise über ein Kugelgelenk 4. Die Aus-r gangswelle 2 ist durch ein Kugellager 5 abgestützt. Am anderen Ende der Welle 1 ist, ebenfalls mittels eines Kugelgelenkes, welches hier mit 6 bezeichnet ist, die Nabe 7 eines Rades befestigt, beispielsweise eines gelenkten Rades oder eines Antriebsrades. Die Radnabe 7 selbst ist in einem Kugellager 8 abgestützt, welches in einer Stütze 9 gehalten ist, die in an sich bekannter Weise um Schwenkteile 10 herum schwenkbar gehalten ist.In the drawing, a drive or gear shaft is shown with 1, which by an output shaft of a total with 3 designated drive group can be driven in rotation. The connection between shafts 1 and 2 is made in in a manner known per se via a ball joint 4. The output shaft 2 is supported by a ball bearing 5. At the other The end of the shaft 1 is the hub 7, likewise by means of a ball joint, which is designated here by 6 attached to a wheel, for example a steered wheel or a drive wheel. The wheel hub 7 itself is in a ball bearing 8 supported, which is held in a support 9, the pivot parts in a known manner 10 is held pivotable around.
Die Schutzabdichtung für die Kugelgelenke 4 und 6 besteht aus einer Manschette mit einer ersten Faltenbalgwand 11 gegenüber dem Kugelgelenk 6, einem zylindrischen Mittel-The protective seal for the ball joints 4 and 6 consists of a sleeve with a first bellows wall 11 compared to the ball joint 6, a cylindrical central

teil 12, welches die Welle 1 umgibt, und einer zweiten FaI-tenbalgwand 13 gegenüber dem Kugelgelenk 4. Die Elemente 11, 12 und 13 sind in einem Stück ausgeführt, also untereinander einstückig. Die Balgwand 11 ist mit ihrem Ende an einem zylindrischen Abschnitt 14a eines Flansches 14 befestigt, der seinerseits am Außenring des Kugellagers 8 befestigt und somit nicht-drehend / wobei zur Befestigung ein Klemmring oder Klemmkragen 15 dient. In entsprechender Weise ist die Balgwand 13 an einem zylindrischen Abschnitt 16a eines Flansches 16 mittels eines Klemmkragens 17 befestigt, wobei der Bundring oder Flansch 16 wiederum starr gegen den äußeren Ring des Kugellagers 5 festgelegt ist. Der Mittelteil 12 der Manschette ist über einen Abstandsring 18 auf Abstand von der Welle 1 gehalten, wobei der Abstandsring 18 frei an der Welle 1 gelagert ist und gute Gleiteigenschaften aufweist. Der Abstandsring 18 ist in einer·Ausnehmung 19 gelagert, die in der Innenwand des Mittelteiles 12 vorgesehen ist. Die Ausnehmung 19 bildet so eine axiale Lagesicherung des Abstandsringes 18 gegenüber der Welle 1.part 12, which surrounds the shaft 1, and a second FaI-tenbalgwand 13 compared to the ball joint 4. The elements 11, 12 and 13 are made in one piece, that is, with one another one piece. The bellows wall 11 is attached at its end to a cylindrical portion 14a of a flange 14, the in turn attached to the outer ring of the ball bearing 8 and thus non-rotating / with a clamping ring or for attachment Clamping collar 15 is used. In a corresponding manner, the bellows wall 13 is on a cylindrical section 16a of a flange 16 fastened by means of a clamping collar 17, the collar or flange 16 in turn being rigid against the outer ring of the ball bearing 5 is set. The middle part 12 of the cuff is held at a distance from the shaft 1 via a spacer ring 18, the spacer ring 18 being free on the shaft 1 is stored and has good sliding properties. The spacer ring 18 is mounted in a recess 19 which is in the inner wall of the central part 12 is provided. The recess 19 thus forms an axial position securing of the spacer ring 18 opposite shaft 1.
Von dem vorstehend erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel sind vielfache Abwandlungen und Abänderungen möglich, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen. So kann insbesondere etwa eines der beiden Kugelgelenke durch ein einfacheres Gelenk ersetzt werden, oder können die Balgwände 11 und 13 anders als nach Art eines Faltenbalges ausgebildet sein.Many modifications and changes are possible from the exemplary embodiment explained above, without the frame to leave the invention. In particular, for example, one of the two ball joints can be replaced by a simpler joint or the bellows walls 11 and 13 can be configured differently than in the manner of a bellows.
Die wesentlichen Vorteile der Erfindung liegen darin, daß die aus den Teilen 11, 12 und 13 bestehende Manschette den gesamten Kraftübertragungsbereich überdeckt und dabei aber drehfest ist. Dadurch werden alle Probleme im Zusammenhang mit der Abdichtung und des Verlustes von Schmiermitteln für die Gelenke vermieden. Darüberhinaus muß der Abstandsring 18 keineswegs mit großer Genauigkeit gefertigt sein, da erThe main advantages of the invention are that the cuff consisting of parts 11, 12 and 13 is the covers the entire power transmission area and at the same time is non-rotatable. This eliminates any problems related to sealing and loss of lubricant for the joints avoided. In addition, the spacer ring 18 must by no means be manufactured with great accuracy, since it
