Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatically hydraulically adjusting valve tappet, which is arranged in a guide bore of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, and which consists of a cup-shaped housing which comprises a hollow cylindrical wall which is closed at one end by a bottom, against which one from the outside Control cam starts, a distance from the floor in the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall is provided as a separate component designed radial flange which receives the actual hydraulic play compensation element in a bore concentric with the hollow cylindrical wall.
  • the cup-shaped housing as a whole, including the radial flange is made from solid material by means of turning.
  • the machining is very expensive and leads to the fact that the cup-shaped housing has an undesirably large mass because of the large wall thicknesses.
  • the radial flange is designed as a separate component and is fastened in the bore in the hollow cylindrical wall.
  • special measures are required, namely, e.g. B. welding, soldering or the like, but this does not disclose the known embodiment.
  • Document EP-A-0 030 781 shows e.g. B. in Figure 8 a valve lifter, the play compensation element is not longitudinally displaceably guided in the bore of a radial flange, but in a special cylinder part which is made in one piece with the cup-shaped housing. This gives the plunger a complicated structure.
  • Figure 5 of document EP-A-0 179 323 shows a valve lifter with a thin-walled inner part, which consists of two cylinders and a connecting area located between them. This inner part is not supported radially on a cylindrical surface, so that an expansion of the inner part wall to the unsupported side is possible when heated.
  • the invention has for its object to produce a valve lifter of the type mentioned in a simple and inexpensive manner so that its play in the guide bore of the cylinder head remains almost constant in all temperature ranges.
  • the radial flange has an annular region which extends between the bore and the outer surface with a thickness which is substantially the same as the length of the circular cylindrical guide surface of the play compensation element, that the radial flange is further formed from a material , which has a higher coefficient of expansion than steel, in particular similar to that of aluminum, wherein it is inserted and fixed with its outer jacket surface in a liquid-tight manner by pressing into the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall, and that the wall thickness of the hollow cylindrical wall is at least in the longitudinal region in which the radial flange is arranged so thin-walled that the radial flange is able to expand the wall elastically to the outside during thermal expansion.
  • the radial flange which in particular comprises plastic and aluminum, makes it possible to dispense entirely with special fastening methods, namely welding, soldering, gluing or the like.
  • the fact that the radial flange has a higher coefficient of expansion than the hollow cylindrical wall ensures that even with the temperature differences occurring during operation, this interference fit never loosens, but rather becomes firmer.
  • the radial flange has a higher coefficient of expansion than the hollow cylindrical wall is also used for a further advantage.
  • engine cylinder heads made of light metal have been used more and more.
  • the disadvantageous phenomenon occurs that with increasing warming the cylinder head expands more than the valve lifter made of steel, which increases the play between the valve lifter on the one hand and its receiving bore on the other. This leads to an undesirably large oil throughput.
  • this disadvantage is circumvented or at least reduced by the fact that the radial flange elastically widens the wall outward when the thermal expansion occurs. Since the expansion coefficient of light metal on the one hand and suitable plastics, e.g. B. polyethersulfone are approximately the same, can be achieved so that the game of the valve lifter in its guide bore remains at least approximately constant in all temperature ranges.
  • the radial flange can be fixed, for example, in that it has a circumferential groove on its outer lateral surface, into which a projection of the hollow cylindrical wall engages in a form-fitting manner.
  • the projection of the hollow cylindrical wall can be formed in a simple manner by a circumferential bead which delimits an oil supply groove in the outer lateral surface of the hollow cylindrical wall.
  • an additional seal in particular in the form of an O-ring, can be provided between the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall on the one hand and the outer surface of the radial flange on the other.
  • the valve lifter shown in Figure 1 has a cup-shaped housing 1, which consists of the hollow cylindrical wall 2, which is closed at the upper end by the bottom 3. At a distance from the bottom 3, the radial flange 4 is provided in the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall, which receives the actual hydraulic play compensation element 6 in a longitudinally displaceable manner in a bore 5 concentric with the hollow cylindrical wall 2.
  • the radial flange 4 is made of a polymeric material.
  • the radial flange 4 is fixed in the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall 2 in such a way that the radial flange 4 has on its outer lateral surface 7 a circumferential groove 8 into which a projection 9, which is designed as a circumferential bead, engages.
  • This circumferential bead 9 simultaneously delimits an oil feed groove 10 in the outer lateral surface of the hollow cylindrical wall 2.
  • the radial flange 4 is introduced into the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall 2 in a simple manner by axially pressing it into the cup-shaped housing 1.
  • the actual hydraulic play compensation element 6 is guided directly in a bore of the radial flange made of polymer material.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from that described essentially only in that a metal bushing 11 is inserted into the bore of the radial flange 4, which is expedient if a plastic is used for the radial flange 4 which does not have sufficient dimensional stability and / or has unfavorable abrasion properties.
  • an additional seal in the form of an O-ring 12 is also provided between the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall 2 on the one hand and the outer lateral surface 7 of the radial flange 4. Such an additional seal is only required in cases in which the polymeric material of the radial flange 4 does not have sufficient elasticity.
