Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tappet with a hydraulic lash adjuster for a valve train of an internal combustion engine, comprising two movably sealed hollow cylinders, which are closed in the region of their ends facing away from each other by covers and axially elastically supported on one another by a compression spring.
  • Such a tappet is known for example from DE-PS 36 17 858. It is used between the camshaft and the valves of an internal combustion engine and effects an automatic compensation of the valve clearance. This eliminates the need to adjust the valve clearance in connection with maintenance work.
  • the known bucket tappet has a piston which can be displaced in a cylinder parallel to the direction of actuation of the valve and which is supported by a compression spring on the bottom of the cylinder. In the unloaded state of the cup tappet, this results in an axially directed movement apart of the piston in the cylinder, oil being drawn in from a storage space via a throttle opening and being stored in the interior of a pressure chamber of the piston / cylinder unit.
  • the cross-section of the throttle opening is very narrow.
  • the oil volume stored in the piston / cylinder unit is not noticeably reduced in the short time that is available during the normal actuation of the valves by the cams of the camshaft. The forces required to actuate the valves can rather be transferred without any problems.
  • the compression spring reliably presses the piston / cylinder unit apart even at low temperatures and brings about an equalization of the valve clearance.
  • the lubricating oil contained in the reserve space must be returned to the piston / cylinder unit by the compression spring at a sufficiently high speed. Because of the large viscosity of lubricating oil that occurs at low temperatures, great forces are required.
  • the compression springs used according to the state of the art are dimensioned accordingly. An undesirable strong movement apart of the piston / cylinder unit at normal temperature and in particular at high temperatures is the inevitable consequence of this and can cause undesirable wear on the tappet.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a tappet of the type mentioned in such a way that an immediate filling of the piston / cylinder unit from the reserve space is ensured even at low temperatures and a soft elastic support of the two hollow cylinders on each other when the normal operating temperature is reached.
  • the hollow cylinders are supported in addition to the compression spring by a support spring with the compression spring in the opposite direction of action and that the support spring consists of a metallic shape memory alloy and has a load capacity that is lower when the As temperature is reached than the load capacity of the compression spring.
  • the support spring loses its spring force when it reaches low temperatures.
  • only the force of the compression spring acts in this temperature range, which is dimensioned such that despite the large viscosity of the lubricating oil contained in the tappet, parallel to the relative rotation of the cam of the camshaft, the piston / cylinder unit is immediately filled with lubricating oil. This ensures proper actuation of the associated valve of the internal combustion engine from the first moment.
  • valve train including the bucket tappet and the lubricating oil contained therein reach a sufficiently high operating temperature after the cold start, the support spring regains its spring force. It has an opposite direction of action to the compression springs. The total spring force available is thereby reduced to a value which, on the one hand, ensures a high level of operational safety and, on the other hand, achieves minimal wear.
  • the compression springs of the support spring are expediently designed as coil springs. As a result, they can be produced and assembled particularly cost-effectively.
  • the support spring consists of an alloy with an As temperature that is between ⁇ 15 and + 5 ° C. and expediently in the region of the freezing point of water. Especially within the specified range, the viscosity of common lubricating oils changes relatively strongly. However, it goes without saying that, depending on the type of lubricating oil used in the individual case, the use of support springs can be expedient, which are made of alloys with a possibly different As temperature.
  • the load capacity of the support spring should be 30 to 70% of that of the compression spring when the As temperature is reached. Such a design particularly meets the requirement of modern engine construction to prevent malfunctions during the entire service life.
  • the bucket tappet according to the invention always ensures that the piston / cylinder unit contained is so quickly filled with oil, regardless of the individual temperatures, that proper operation of the internal combustion engine is always guaranteed. It is of decisive advantage here that the external shape and the essential functional elements can be adopted from known designs. Both the manufacture of the bucket tappet according to the invention and its use in an ongoing production of internal combustion engines are thereby possible without any problems. Furthermore, the present invention can be used for tappets that are hermetically sealed to the outside and have a permanent oil filling, as well as for such tappets in which the enclosed cavity is connected to the oil circuit of the associated internal combustion engine.
  • the bucket tappet shown in the longitudinal section in the left part of the illustration is designed as a closed system which is provided with a permanent oil filling.
  • the bucket tappet shown in the right-hand part of the illustration in longitudinal section is designed as an open system which is connected to an oil circuit of the pressure circulation lubrication of an internal combustion engine.
  • the cup tappet shown comprises two hollow cylinders 1, 2 which are movably sealed against one another and which are closed in the region of their ends facing away from one another by covers 3, 4 and are axially elastically supported on one another by a compression spring 5.
  • the hollow cylinder 2 is guided on a piston 11 which extends coaxially to the hollow cylinder 1 and is supported on the cover 3 thereof.
  • a compression spring 5 is arranged between the piston 11 and the bottom 4 of the wooden cylinder 2, which causes the piston 11 to move axially apart with respect to the hollow cylinder 2.
  • the cavity enclosed by both is completely filled with oil. It is then only connected to the cavity 7 through a throttle gap in which the reserve oil is stored.
  • the cavity 7 can be connected to the oil circuit of the pressure lubrication system of the internal combustion engine through a connection opening (right part of the illustration), it can also be hermetically sealed to the outside by a bellows 12 (left part of the illustration), which means that the valve clearance compensation element is independent of the respective pressure of the Oil circuit gives the internal combustion engine good functional reliability.
  • the hollow cylinder 2 is axially displaceably mounted in a guide piece 14. Between the guide piece 14 and a collar 15 fixedly connected to the piston 11, a support spring 8 is arranged, which is made of memory metal.
  • the support spring 8 has the property of losing its spring force when falling below a certain temperature range and the original spring force with a subsequent warming up to their As temperature.
  • the support spring is also designed as a compression spring. It has an opposite direction of action to the compression spring 5, so that the total available spring force at low temperatures at which the support spring 8 is ineffective is determined only by that of the compression spring 5. At high temperatures, on the other hand, the spring force of the compression spring 5 is reduced by the spring force of the activated support spring 8. Overall, only the difference between the load capacities of the two springs is available.
  • the force of the closing spring (not shown) of the associated valve causes a gradual upward movement of the hollow cylinder 2 in with respect to the hollow cylinder 1 with a corresponding relative displacement of oil components originally contained in the high-pressure chamber 13 into the cavity 7.
  • the support spring 8 counteracts the compression spring 5 and thus reduces the total force that presses the hollow cylinder 2 and the piston 11 apart and thus also reduces the friction between the rotating cam 10 and the cover 3 of the cylinder 1 In the temperature ranges mentioned, only a small spring force is necessary because the oil is very thin.
  • the lubricating oil is viscous at low temperatures and especially when the internal combustion engine is cold started.
  • a large spring force is required in order to press the hollow cylinder 2 and the piston 11 apart in the axial direction and to draw in the lubricating oil via the ball check valve into the cavity enclosed by both.
  • the support spring 8 has no spring force. As a result, it no longer acts as a relief for the compression spring 5.
  • the entire load-bearing capacity of the compression spring 5 is thus available for the axial movement apart of the hollow cylinder 2 with respect to the piston 11. Even under correspondingly unfavorable conditions, this ensures that the piston / cylinder unit moves apart sufficiently quickly.
