According to a development of the invention, concentric Guide of the flange molded on the outer circumference of the flange Boom radially on the axial extension of the flywheel support. With such a structure it can be avoided that the function of the first damping device due to external friction is affected. This is especially for those twisting areas of the first damping device in which the between the moment transferred to the two flywheels is relatively small is particularly advantageous. It may still be useful if between the extension of the corresponding flywheel and the A friction or sliding lining is provided for the flange, which is used for the radial guidance of the flange.

With such a construction of the further damping device a special energy accumulator for bracing the two discs the further damping device towards each other is not required Lich. With such a structure, it is also advantageous if the damping between the two washers direction provided spacer bolts for fastening at the same time serve the discs on one of the flywheels.  

Furthermore, it can be advantageous if the further damping is direction is designed such that the two sides of the flange provided washers by means of spring bars distributed over the circumference gel or clamps can be clamped against the flange. Appropriate it can be when the bracket or brackets the flange and axially over the two disks of the further damping device grasp and with radial legs the discs axially reach behind and apply in the direction of the flange. The Legs of the bracket or brackets can be advantageous extend way radially inwards.

It can be particularly advantageous if - viewed in the circumferential direction - between the axial Projections formed on the circumference of the flange radially engage and energy storage in recesses of the discs further damping device are included, which as Endan beat to limit the angle of rotation of the further damping device for the arms of the flange. Furthermore can it should be useful if at least individual recesses for Inclusion of the energy storage of one disc compared to them axially opposite recesses of the other disc in The circumferential direction are offset such that the -axial opposite recesses recorded the energy store Discs against which cutouts of the discs penetrate brace the projections in the circumferential direction. This will  Avoided noises. It may be appropriate if the axial Projections are formed by bolts or pins on one the flywheels are attached.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, it can be advantageous be when the flange in the area between the discs of the white tere damping device has axial recesses in which Friction blocks or friction linings are included, which between the Discs of the further damping device are clamped. For In some cases, it may be appropriate if the Recesses in the flange are axially continuous and through them one friction block each with a greater thickness than that of the flan extend through it. It can be advantageous if the friction blocks are axially displaceable in their recesses, in the radial and / or circumferential direction.

However, for some applications it can also be useful if the axial recesses arranged a pair of one behind the other Neten friction blocks between which an energy accumulator, such as For example, a plate spring is provided, the friction blocks clamped against the discs of the further damping device. Around it can enable simple installation of the device be advantageous if the pair of friction blocks and the Intermediate energy accumulator axially together via connecting means are kept, but the connecting means be a limited axial displacement of the two friction blocks to each other, against the effect of the energy store provided in between enable.

Fig. 11 is an additional possible embodiment of a further damping means for an inventive device.

The device 1 shown in FIGS . 1 and 2 for compensating rotary shocks has a flywheel 2 which is divided into two flywheels 3 and 4 . The first flywheel 3 is attached to a crankshaft 5 of an internal combustion engine, not shown, via fastening screws 6 . A friction clutch 7 is fastened on the second flywheel 4 by means not shown in detail. Between the pressure plate 8 of the friction clutch 7 and the flywheel 4 , a clutch disc 9 is provided, which is received on the input shaft 10 of a transmission, not shown. The pressure plate 8 of the friction clutch 7 is acted upon in the direction of the flywheel 4 by a plate spring 12 pivotably mounted on the clutch cover 11 . By actuating the friction clutch 7 , the flywheel 4 and thus also the flywheel 2 of the transmission input shaft 10 can be engaged and disengaged. Between the flywheel mass 3 and the flywheel mass 4 , a first damping device 13 and a further damping device 14 connected in series therewith are provided, which allow a limited relative rotation between the two flywheel masses 3 and 4 .

The two flywheels 3 and 4 are rotatably supported relative to each other via a bearing 15 . The bearing 15 comprises a rolling bearing in the form of a double row angular contact ball bearing 16 with part inner ring 17th The outer bearing ring 16 a of the rolling bearing 16 is in a bore 18 of the flywheel 4 and the inner split bearing ring 17 of the rolling bearing 16 is arranged on a central cylindrical pin 19 of the flywheel 3 extending axially away from the crankshaft 5 .

The two partial rings 17 a, 17 b of the inner ring 17 are braced axially by an energy accumulator in the form of a plate spring 20 . To secure the part of ring 17 is b from the end face 19 a of the pin 19, a lock washer 21 by means of screws 21 a BEFE Stigt which extends radially outwardly beyond the pins 19 hinauser and where the partial ring 17 b is axially supported. Arranged between ring portion 17 a and a flywheel 3 disc spring 20 acts on the ring portion 17a axially towards the part of the ring 17 b by mass with radially outer regions on the flywheel 3 is supported and having radially inner portions against the portion of ring 17 a acts. As a result of this structure, the rolling elements of the bearing 16 are clamped between the roller tracks assigned to them. In order to ensure that the bearing remains tensioned even when the friction clutch 7 is actuated, the plate spring 20 applies a force which is greater than the maximum force required to actuate the friction clutch 7 . It has proven to be advantageous to choose the force generated by the plate spring 20 at least approximately twice as high as the maximum force required to disengage the friction clutch 7 .

The flywheel 3 has an axially radially outward extension 22 which forms a chamber 23 in which the first damping device 13 and the further damping device 14 are essentially accommodated. The input part of the further damping device 14 is formed by a disk group, namely the two disks 24 , 25 which are provided at an axial distance from one another and which are non-rotatable with the flywheel 3 . The ringförmi ge disk 25 is fixed on the end face 22 a of the extension 22 by means of rivets 26 and axially limited with the areas 25 a reach the chamber 23rd The disc 24 received in the chamber 23 has axial projections which are formed by tabs 24 a integrally formed on the outer circumference. For rotation of the disk 24 against the disk 25, the flaps 24 a 27 engage the disc 25 in the recesses. The recesses 27 and the flap 24 a are designed such that there is an axial possibility of publishing the disk 24 relative to the disk 25 . Radial arms 28 of the flange 29 are clamped axially between the two disks 24 and 25 , in that an energy store in the form of a plate spring 30, which is provided axially between the disk 24 and the flywheel 3 , acts on the disk 24 in the direction of the disk 25 . For this purpose, the plate spring 30 is supported with radially outer areas on the pressure plate 3 and with radially inner areas on the disk 24 . The plate spring 30 is open or slotted on its circumference, that is, that its ring-shaped base body is separated at one point, and is supported with its radially outer periphery on an annular shoulder 31 of the flywheel 3 radially. Between the arms 28 of the flange 29 and the two disks 24 and 25 are each friction linings in the form of individual, on the bracket 28 glued to Belagsegmen th 32 provided. In the area between the arms 28 of the flange 29 , recesses 33 , 34 are introduced into the disks 24 and 25 , which are axially aligned and accommodate energy accumulator 35 . In the example shown, these energy accumulators are formed by helical springs 35 , but it could also, for. B. hard rubber springs can be used. The energy accumulator 35 serve as end stops for the arm 28 of the flange 29 and thus limit the angle of rotation of the further damping device 14 . The damping effect of the energy accumulator 35 prevents an excessively hard stop in the end regions of the angle of rotation of the further damping device.

As can be seen in particular from Fig. 2, in which the further damping device is shown in an intermediate position, a game 36 + 36 a is present between the energy stores 35 and the arms 28 , which increases by the amount by which the energy stores 35 are compressed can define the possible angle of rotation between the disks 24 , 25 forming the input part and the flange 21 forming the output part of the further damping device 14 .

The flange 29 forming the output part of the further damping device 14 also represents the input part for the first damping device 13. The first damping device 13 has a further group of disks, namely the two disks 37 , 38 arranged on both sides of the flange 29 , which are spaced apart by bolts 39 in the axial direction Spacing are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner and are articulated on the flywheel 4 . The two disks 37 , 38 are encompassed radially on the outside by the annular disks 24 , 25 of the further damping device 14 . Furthermore, in the example shown, the disks 37 and 24 and 38 and 25 are arranged at least approximately in the same plane. In the disks 37 and 38 and in the radially within the boom 28 areas of the flange 29 recesses 37 a, 38 a and 29 a are introduced, in which energy storage in the form of screw benfedern 40 are added. The energy accumulator 40 counteracts a relative rotation between the flange 29 and the two discs 37 , 38 .

The first damping device 13 also has a Reibein device 13 a, which is effective over the entire possible angle of rotation between the two flywheels 3 and 4 .

The friction device 13 a is arranged axially between the disk 37 and the flywheel 3 and has a force accumulator 41 formed by a plate spring, which is held clamped between the disk 37 and a pressure ring 42 , as a result of which the friction ring arranged between the pressure ring 42 and the flywheel 3 43 is clamped. The force exerted on the disk 37 by the plate spring 41 is intercepted by the bearing 16 . The pressure ring 42 is provided with arms 42 a, which grip around the head of the rivet 39 , whereby the pressure ring is non-rotatable with the flywheel 4th

On its radially inner periphery, the flange 29 has inwardly open cutouts 44 through which the spacer bolts 39 project axially. These cutouts form radially inwardly facing teeth 45 , which - viewed in the circumferential direction - engage between the spacer bolts 39 and cooperate with them as stops for limiting the angular deflection of the first damping device 13 .

The recesses 37 a, 38 a of the two disks 37 , 38 and the recesses 29 a of the flange 29 and the helical springs ( 40 ) provided therein are arranged and dimensioned over the circumference of the first damping device 13 such that a multi-stage damping characteristic curve is produced.

For at least approximately concentric guidance of the flange 29 with respect to the axis of rotation 47 and samit also with respect to the inertia masses 3 and 4 , the flange 29 is supported with its radial arms 28 on the inner lateral surface 22 b of the axial extension 22 of the flywheel 3 .

The device according to the present exemplary embodiment is designed such that, starting from a rest position shown in FIG. 2, when a moment change occurs, the first flywheel 3 together with the pair of disks 24 , 25 and the flange 29 relative to the second flywheel 4 and the pair of disks 37 , 38 is rotated, namely against the action of the springs 40 , with a progressive increase in the damping effect taking place due to the different sized window openings in the flange 29 and in the pair of disks 37 , 38 . This Relativverdre hung takes place until the torque generated by the bracing of these springs reaches the friction torque that can be transmitted by the further damping device 14 . As the relative movement continues in this direction, the further damping device then begins to slip, with no relative rotation of the flange 29 relative to the second flywheel mass until the springs 35 strike the flanks of the extension arm 28 . The arms 28 cause a further relative rotation of the flange together with the first flywheel mass 3 with respect to the second flywheel mass 4 , the springs being further compressed until the teeth 45 come into contact with the bolts 39 .

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, in the embodiment shown in the embodiment, the arms 28 are designed in such a way that they limit the maximum angle of rotation of the further damping device 14 on the springs 35 . By appropriate modification of the stop contours of the arm 28 , the tabs 24 a could also be used. In such an embodiment, the respective stop contours of the extension arm 28 relative to the energy stores 35 and the flaps 24 a - viewed in the circumferential direction - should be arranged such that the energy stores first absorb the torque surges and then together with the flaps 24 a the rotation between the two Limit washers 24 , 25 and flange 29 . Furthermore, it would be possible to omit the energy accumulator 35 and only use the tabs 24 a to limit the angle of rotation between the input part and the input part of the further damping device.

In the embodiment variant shown in FIG. 3, the disk 125 , which is connected to the first flywheel 103 in a rotationally fixed manner via a rivet connection 126 , has radially externally formed and axially extending tabs 125 a. The tabs 125 a extend in the direction of the second flywheel 104 and engage axially in sections 127 , which are provided on the outer circumference of the disk 124 . The cutouts 127 and the tabs 125 a are matched to one another in such a way that the disk 124 is fixed relative to the disk 125 in the circumferential direction, but has an adjustment possibility in the axial direction. Between the two disks 124 and 125 forming the input part of the further damping device 114 , a flange 129 , which forms the output part of the further damping device 114 , is clamped. Between the flange 129 and the disks 124 , 125 , a friction lining 132 is arranged. The flange 129 at the same time forms the input part for the first damping device 113 , the output part of which is in turn formed by two disks 137 , 138 which are connected to one another via spacer bolts 139 and to the flywheel 104 in a rotationally fixed manner. The further damping device 114 and the first damping device 113 are in turn arranged radially within an axial extension 122 of the flywheel 103 . In the radially inner lateral surface of the extension 122 , a groove 131 is made in the region of the free end, on which a plate spring 130 is supported in both the axial and radial directions. For better assembly, this plate spring 130 is slotted or open at its circumference. With its radially inner areas, the disk spring 130 strikes the disk 124 axially in the direction of the disk 125 , as a result of which the flange 129 is clamped ben ben axially between these two disks and, via the axial force and the coefficients of friction between the friction linings 132 and the flange, the transferable slip torque of the further damping device is defined.

In the embodiment variant shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 of a further damping device 214 , friction or sliding linings 248 are arranged between the radially inner lateral surface 222 b of the axial extension 122 of the flywheel 203 and the arms 228 of the flange 221 . The flange 229 is guided concentrically to the flywheel 203 via these friction or sliding linings 248 . The friction or sliding linings 248 form approximately the bottom of caps 249 in the illustrated embodiment, which are placed on the boom 228 and encompass them. The lateral areas 250 , 251 of the caps 249 are clamped axially between the arms 228 of the flange 229 and the disks 224 , 225 arranged on both sides of the flange of the further damping device 214 in order to generate a frictional torque. The axial clamping is ensured by a plate spring 232 which axially acts on the disc 225 and is axially supported on the flywheel 203 . To radially secure the caps 249 against the centrifugal force, the lateral areas 250 , 251 on their side facing the arms 228 arcuate beads 250 a, 251 a, which engage in correspondingly adapted, arcuate grooves 152 of the arm 228 . In order to enable the caps 249 to be pushed onto the cantilevers 228 on account of their inherent elasticity, the beads 250 a, 251 a, viewed in the circumferential direction, only extend over a partial region of the extent of the grooves 252 or cantilevers 228 . The areas 253 , 254 of the caps 249 considered in the circumferential direction form elastic or shock-absorbing contact areas which cooperate with one another to limit the angle of rotation of the further damping device 214 with stops 255 which are non-rotatable with the flywheel 203 . The stops 255 are formed by pins or bolts which are anchored in the Schwungmas se 203 and axially reach through the recesses 256 to secure the disks 224 , 225 .

In the embodiment variant shown in FIG. 6, bracket-like guide shoes 349 are provided for centering the flange 329 with respect to the flywheel 303 on the arms 328 of the flange 329 . The guide bracket 349 encompass the extension arm 328 , the radially extending side legs of the guide bracket interacting with stops 355 for limiting the angle of rotation of the further damping device 314 , which are non-rotatable with the inertia mass 303 . As in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the stops 355 are formed by pins or bolts which are anchored in the flywheel 303 and which axially extend through the flanges 329 arranged on both sides of the flange of the further damping device 314 . The area 349 a connecting the two legs 353 and 354 of the guide bracket 349 is guided between the radially inner lateral surface 322 b of the axial extension 322 of the flywheel 303 and the radially outer lateral surface of the arm 328 . , The guide bracket 349 - considered in circumferential direction - a greater extent than that of the arm 328, so that on both sides of the cantilever 328 between them and the side legs 353, 354 of the guide bracket 349, a clearance X is present. In the free spaces formed by the game X, energy storage in the form of hard rubber blocks 357 are easily seen. This hard rubber blocks 357 cause a damping of the impact between the side legs 353 , 354 and the stops 355 . The shoes 349 can be made of metal or friction or sliding material.

In Figs. 7 and 8, the two disks 424, 425 by means of spacing means in the form of standoffs 455, both miteinan of, and firmly connected to the flywheel mass 403rd Between the two disks 424, 425 engage radial arm 428 of a flange 429, wherein between the arms 428 and the two discs 424, 425 a friction lining is provided 432nd

As is apparent from Fig. 8, has the disc 425 between the mounting holes 455 a for the standoffs 455 a circumferential direction extending in the order corrugation 425 a, which is biased in the mounted state of the disc 425, as can be seen from Fig. 7. Due to this biasing of the flange 429 and the boom 428 axially between the discs 424, 425 is clamped, so that a corresponding friction torque occurs at a relative rotation. To limit the angle of rotation of the white damping device 414 in turn recesses 424 , 425 energy stores 435 are provided, on which the boom 428 of the flange 429 come to rest.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the disks 524 , 525 provided on both sides of the flange 529 of the further damping device 514 are clamped against the flange 529 by means of spring clips or spring clips 530 distributed over the circumference with the interposition of a friction ring 532 . The brackets or clamps 530 overlap the flange 529 and the two disks 524 and 525 axially and act on the disks 524 , 525 with spring legs 530 a, 530 b directed radially inwards. To secure the discs 524 , 525 are provided on the flywheel 503 axial projections in the form of bolts 555 , which protrude axially through holes 555 a, 555 b of the discs 524 , 525 adapted to them.

In the disks 524 , 525 recesses 533 , 534 are provided for receiving energy accumulator 535 , which cooperate with the arms 528 of the flange 529 to limit the angle of rotation of the further damping device 514 .

As can be seen from FIG. 10, in the assembled state of the disks 524 and 525, the recesses 533 of the disc 524 are offset by an amount Y in the circumferential direction relative to the recesses 534 of the disc 525 , as a result of which the force accumulator 335 between the discs 524 , 525 is one-sided or be asymmetrically clamped axially. This asymmetrical bracing of the energy accumulator 335 in turn causes the disks 524 , 525 to be braced in the circumferential direction against the bolts 555 projecting through the holes 555 a, 555 b. The function of the further damping device 514 is significantly improved due to this bracing, since a play z. B. between the holes 555 a, 555 b of the washers 524 , 525 and the bolts 555 can be compensated for, so that a damping effect is always present with a relative rotation.

In the embodiment of a further damping device 614 shown in FIG. 11, the flange 629 in the area between the disks 624 and 625 , which form the input part of the further damping device 614 , has axially directed blind holes 656 , 657 , in each of which a disc-shaped one Friction lining 658 , 659 is added. The remaining between the two blind holes 656 and 657 intermediate wall 660 of the flange 629 has an opening 661 through which a Ver connection means protrudes in the form of a rivet 662 , which axially connects the pair of axially opposite friction linings 658 , 659 . Axially between the friction lining 658 and the Zwischenwan extension 660 , a tensioned plate spring 663 is provided, which causes an axial expansion or an axial pressing apart of the two friction linings 658 and 659 , whereby these friction linings 658 , 659 against the corresponding disk 624 , 625 , with the they are in a friction connection, are pressed.

The connecting rivet 662 is dimensioned such that, starting from the installation position of the two friction linings 658 , 659 shown in FIG. 11, it enables a limited axial displacement of these friction linings 658 , 659 away from one another. This limited axial Verlager bility of the two friction linings 658, 659 enables the one hand a wear compensation of the friction pads 658, 659 and provides on the other hand ensures that when not yet mounted further Dämpfungsein device 614 the friction pads 658, 659 and the disc spring axially fixed on the flange 629,663 are, whereby the assembly of the device or the further damping device 614 is much easier. When installing the device or the white damping device 614 , the two friction linings 658 and 659 , against the action of the plate spring 663 , are axially clamped between the two disks 624 , 625 .

As can also be seen from FIG. 11, the friction lining 659 is supported axially directly on the intermediate wall 660 , whereas there is an axial free space between the friction lining 658 and the intermediate wall 660 , so that the friction block 658 , against the action of the plate spring 663 , can be shifted axially in the blind hole 656 .
