Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wälzlagerkäfig für Nadellager, mit wenig stens einem durchgehenden, vorzugsweise axial verlaufenden Schlitz, wobei im Bereich des Schlitzes elastische Stege vorgesehen sind, die einstückig mit den Schlitz begrenzenden Käfigenden verbunden sind.The invention relates to a roller bearing cage for needle bearings, with little at least one continuous, preferably axially extending slot, wherein elastic webs are provided in the region of the slot are integrally connected to the slot-limiting cage ends.
Käfige der beschriebenen Art werden in Nadellagern von Losradlagerun gen in Getrieben verwendet. Wenn die wälzgelagerten Bauteile synchron umlaufen, unterstützt die Durchmesserveränderung ein Wandern des Käfigs. Solche Käfige sind normalerweise wälzkörpergeführt, das heißt, die Nadeln liegen ohne Spiel in den Taschen des Käfigs, so daß eine Wanderbewegung des Käfigs auf alle Nadeln übertragen wird. Auf diese Weise wird die sogenannte Riffelbildung in den Laufbahnen der Nadeln vermieden. Diese Käfige werden üblicherweise aus einem formstabilen, steifen Kunststoff gebildet, der zusätzlich durch in den Kunststoff eingebettetes Fasermaterial verstärkt werden kann. Die Wahl eines steifen, formstabilen Kunststoffs für den Käfig gewährleistet, daß die Nadeln spielfrei in den Taschen angeordnet sind, und deshalb der Käfig über die Nadeln einwandfrei geführt wird. Damit eine maschinelle Montage der Käfige durchgeführt werden kann, müssen die Käfigenden einander gegenüberstehen. Dazu werden die Käfigenden miteinander verbunden.Cages of the type described are in needle roller bearings from loose wheel bearings used in gears. When the rolling bearing components are in sync circulate, the change in diameter supports a migration of the Cage. Such cages are usually guided on rolling elements, i.e. the needles lie without play in the pockets of the cage, so that one Movement of the cage is transmitted to all needles. To this The so-called corrugation in the raceways of the needles becomes wise avoided. These cages are usually made of a dimensionally stable, stiff plastic formed which is additionally through in the plastic embedded fiber material can be reinforced. Choosing one Rigid, dimensionally stable plastic for the cage ensures that the Needles are arranged in the pockets without play, and therefore the cage is properly guided over the needles. So that a machine Assembly of the cages can be done, the cage ends face each other. To do this, the cage ends together connected.
In dem Dokument DE-GM 87 15 732 wird vorgeschlagen, daß als Verbin dungsmittel für die Käfigenden elastische Stege eingesetzt werden, die einstückig an die gegenüberliegenden Käfigenden angeformt sind. Da die Stege auch aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen aus dem gleichen Material wie der Käfig gebildet sind, also aus einem steifen und formstabilen Kunststoff, besteht das Risiko, daß die Elastizität der Stege nicht ausreicht, um einen Stegbruch zu verhindern. Dieses Risiko wird bei der Verwendung von faserverstärktem Kunststoff noch erhöht, da die im Kunststoff eingebetteten Fasern den Käfig und damit auch die Stege zusätzlich versteifen. Abgebrochene Stege können in die Laufbahnen der Nadeln gelangen und so die Zerstörung des Lagers herbeiführen.In document DE-GM 87 15 732 it is proposed that as a verb elastic means for the cage ends are used, the are integrally formed on the opposite cage ends. Since the For economic reasons, the bridges are made of the same material as the cage are formed, i.e. from a rigid and dimensionally stable Plastic, there is a risk that the elasticity of the webs will not sufficient to prevent a web break. This risk is at the use of fiber-reinforced plastic increased because the im Plastic-embedded fibers make up the cage and thus also the webs additionally stiffen. Broken bridges can enter the careers of the Needles arrive and thus destroy the camp.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Käfig gemäß dem Ober begriff des Hauptanspruchs so weiterzubilden, daß eine hohe Betriebs sicherheit erreicht wird, ohne daß zusätzliche konstruktive Maßnahmen am Käfig selbst ergriffen werden müssen.The invention has for its object a cage according to the waiter Concept of the main claim to develop so that a high operating safety is achieved without additional constructive measures must be gripped on the cage itself.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Stege aus biegsamen, ela stisch verformbaren und der Käfig aus einem formstabilen und ver gleichweise steifen Kunststoff gebildet werden.This object is achieved in that the webs made of flexible, ela deformable and the cage from a dimensionally stable and ver equally rigid plastic are formed.
Weil die Stege aus einem biegsamen, elastisch verformbaren Kunststoff gebildet werden, ist sichergestellt, daß die Stege bei der Montage oder während des Betriebs des montierten Käfigs nicht abbrechen kön nen. Weiterhin wird erreicht, daß die Kunststoffauswahl für den wälz körpergeführten Käfig einerseits und die Stege andererseits jeweils bezüglich der speziellen Funktionen optimiert werden kann. Die Ver minderung der Riffelbildungsgefahr wird dadurch unterstützt, daß die elastisch federnden Stege die Käfigenden voneinander wegdrücken und so eine bessere Anlage der Nadeln an deren äußeren Laufbahn bewirken. Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung weisen die Stege in radialer Drauf sicht eine bogenförmige Gestalt auf, die das elastische Federn der Stege unterstützt.Because the webs are made of a flexible, elastically deformable plastic are formed, it is ensured that the webs during assembly or cannot break off while the assembled cage is in operation nen. It is also achieved that the plastic selection for the rolling body-guided cage on the one hand and the webs on the other hand each can be optimized with regard to the special functions. The Ver reducing the risk of corrugation is supported by the fact that resilient webs push the cage ends away from each other and so bring about better contact of the needles with their outer race. According to a preferred embodiment, the webs face radially reveals an arcuate shape that the elastic springs of the Supports bridges.
Der Vorteil der voneinander unabhängigen Kunststoffauswahl für die Stege und den Käfig wird besonders deutlich, wenn der Käfig durch Fasermaterial verstärkt ist, da dabei der Unterschied der elastischen Eigenschaften des Käfigs gegenüber denen der Stege besonders hervor tritt.The advantage of independent plastic selection for the Bridges and the cage become particularly evident when the cage is through Fiber material is reinforced because of the difference in elastic Properties of the cage stand out particularly from those of the webs occurs.
Eine weitere Maßnahme zur Unterstützung des Käfigwanderns besteht darin, daß der Käfig durch zwei axial verlaufende Schlitze in zwei gleiche Hälften unterteilt ist. Die Käfighälften werden über die elastischen Stege gleichmäßig nach außen gedrückt, so daß mehr Nadeln an den äußeren Laufbahnen anliegen, als es bei einem mit nur einem Schlitz versehenen Käfig möglich ist.Another measure to support cage walking exists in that the cage has two axially extending slots in two is divided into equal halves. The cage halves are over the elastic webs evenly pressed outwards, so that more needles on the outer raceways than one with only one Slotted cage is possible.
Die Erfindung wird anhand von zwei Figuren näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to two figures.
Fig. 1 zeigt einen Lagersatz bestehend aus einem geschlitzten Käfig mit Nadeln, Fig. 1 shows a bearing set consisting of a slotted cage with needles,
Fig. 2 zeigt eine vergrößerte, radiale Draufsicht auf den Käfig nach Fig. 1 im Bereich der Schlitzstelle. FIG. 2 shows an enlarged, radial top view of the cage according to FIG. 1 in the area of the slot.
Zwischen Zahnrädern und Wellen von Getrieben werden üblicherweise Lagersätze eingebaut, wie sie in Fig. 1 gezeigt werden. Der Lagersatz besteht aus dem Käfig 1, in dessen Taschen über den Umfang verteilt Nadeln 2 eingefedert sind. Der Käfig 1 besitzt an einer Stelle seines Umfangs einen Schlitz 3.Bearing sets, as shown in FIG. 1, are usually installed between gear wheels and shafts of gearboxes. The bearing set consists of the cage 1 , in the pockets of which needles 2 are distributed over the circumference. The cage 1 has a slot 3 at one point on its circumference.
In Fig. 2 ist die Verbindung der beiden Käfigenden 4 dargestellt: Zwei in der radialen Draufsicht in etwa bogenförmige Stege 5 sind mit ihren Enden einstückig an die gegenüberliegenden Käfigenden 4 ange formt, wobei die konvexen Seiten 6 der Stege 5 einander zugewandt sind. In dieser Darstellung erfolgt die Anbindung der Stege 5 an den Randbereichen der Käfigenden 4. Es ist aber auch möglich, diese Anbin dung der Stege 5 in axialer Richtung weiter nach innen zu verlegen. Die Stege 5 sind in radialer Richtung innerhalb des Schlitzbereichs 3 vorgesehen.In Fig. 2, the connection of the two cage ends 4 is shown: Two in the radial plan view in approximately arc-shaped webs 5 are integrally formed with their ends on the opposite cage ends 4 , the convex sides 6 of the webs 5 facing each other. In this illustration, the webs 5 are connected to the edge regions of the cage ends 4 . But it is also possible to move this connec tion of the webs 5 further inwards in the axial direction. The webs 5 are provided in the radial direction within the slot area 3 .
