Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing an externally toothed transmission part according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and the preamble of patent claim 2.
  • External gear parts are e.g. B. as flywheels for manual transmissions or starters in motor vehicle construction on a large scale in use. So far, such transmission parts were either made by z. B. the flywheels were formed in two parts. The flywheel washer was made from cold-formed sheet metal and the external teeth were formed in a separate ring by means of machining. The ring was then welded to the flywheel disc. This known arrangement has the disadvantage that it is expensive and that the welding process changes material entered into the flywheel that cannot be fully surveyed.
  • the external toothing is formed from an edge area of the same that is thickened in relation to the sheet metal blank before it is formed, such that the cross section of the external toothing is larger than the cross section of a correspondingly long ring zone with the sheet thickness of the sheet metal blank.
  • the relevant edge area is thickened by means of suitable sheet metal forming methods, such as compression or the like, before the external toothing is formed, as a result of which structural changes are entered into the material. Since carbon steel is usually used for these gear parts, an inevitable hardening occurs, which is disadvantageous for the subsequent machining process.
  • the teeth are then formed by hammering in the teeth according to a method which also belongs to the prior art. This second-mentioned procedure also has the disadvantage that it can always happen that the tooth flanks are not sufficiently load-bearing, so that teeth can break under high loads.
  • the known arrangement has the disadvantage that the teeth are not only formed on the outside of the edge region of the circular blank, but also a tooth-like corrugation of this peripheral region to the interior of the circular blank, so that this results in circulation the wheel generates a considerable amount of noise.
  • a flywheel which consists of a pressed part, i.e. H. a preference is produced, wherein the teeth provided on the outside of an axially extending part are produced by rolling.
  • the drawing shows this component as if the inner ring of the teeth is smooth.
  • This method has the disadvantage that it is assumed that the wall thickness of the axially extending cylindrical area corresponds exactly to the wall thickness of the hub surface, so that either the base of the ring gear is too thin and too weak, so that the teeth break can, or the hub surface is too thick, so that there is a waste of material and an undesirable increase in weight.
  • DE-38 19 957 C1 describes a method for producing a belt pulley in which a metal disk is flanged in its peripheral region and the flattening is then flattened to form a support surface, with grooves running in the circumferential direction then being worked into the support surface thus formed or it is also possible to introduce cross-toothing in this contact surface, so that a cross-toothed pulley is created.
  • a metal disk is flanged in its peripheral region and the flattening is then flattened to form a support surface, with grooves running in the circumferential direction then being worked into the support surface thus formed or it is also possible to introduce cross-toothing in this contact surface, so that a cross-toothed pulley is created.
  • the material of the border is already compressed to form the contact surface, special requirements are placed on the production of the toothing, ie the toothing is introduced into a compressed metal part.
  • a method for producing a gear wheel in which the toothed roller rotates around an axis which stands in the circumferential direction of the workpiece to be machined and in which the shaping work is broken down into a large number of individual shaping steps, i. H. the teeth are hammered into the edge of the workpiece so that structural damage occurs, i. H. the fiber grain of the metal is destroyed and later breaks can occur here.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method by means of which a thickening of the edge region of the round blank is achieved when producing the teeth, starting from a round blank or a preference without material hardening.
  • a border is provided in the edge region of the round blank, ie a simple bending over of the round region intended for this purpose, so that no structural changes occur.
  • the teeth are then pressed into this flattened area of the starting component via a form roller designed as a toothed roller, a change in the structure of the material of the starting component only occurring at this point in time.
  • a device for the manufacture of such a transmission part, which is essentially characterized in that two synchronously driven shafts are provided, one shaft carrying the receiving spindle for the tool and the attachment and the other shaft the form roller, whereby these two shafts are synchronized by a chain drive.
  • This makes it possible to use only one drive motor, and previous attempts to achieve synchronous running between a tool and a form roller by means of an electronic circuit have not been successful with the high forces that occur here.
  • the deflection and tensioning rollers can also be adjusted in position on the slide by means of adjusting screws, so that this makes it possible to adjust the individual deflection and tensioning rollers by means of the adjusting screws, which gives the possibility of precisely aligning the toothed roller to the tool. In other words, it is achieved that the sprocket regardless of Can adjust the slide and its position independently of the tool and thus align it with the tool.
  • a metal blank is shown at 1, which is fixed between a tool 2 and a step-up 3.
  • the tool has a receiving space 7.
  • a bordering roller 4 which has a central rounded area and two counter-holder disks 4a and 4b attached to it.
  • the bordering roller 4 has moved towards the tool part and in the process has bordered the metal blank 1, so that the bordering 6 has been created.
  • the bordering roller 4 is replaced by a toothed roller 5, which functions as a shaping roller and has a central region that has teeth on its outer circumference, a receiving space 8 being additionally created by the counter-holding discs 5a and 5b.
  • a tooth 9 of the toothed roller 5 can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • 12 denotes the hub surface of a starter gear, this hub surface having a thickness a .
  • the ring gear in this component is formed by the teeth 10 and the continuous base 11, the thickness of the base 11 corresponding at least to the thickness of the hub surface 12.
  • Fig. 6 shows Fig. 3 correspondingly an output part, for example a metal blank, the bordering of which is not semicircular as shown in Fig. 3, but which is only slightly bent so that the same result is obtained when the sprocket shown in Fig. 4 is activated as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the starting product required to manufacture the transmission part according to FIG. 5 is a preference 16
  • this preference 16 in addition to a border 17 has a flange 18 which extends in the axial direction of the hub surface and which can later be provided with so-called transmitter holes if this transmission part is used in motor vehicle construction in the area of the starter.
  • the preference 16 must be pressed and then this component has to be reclamped and clamped onto a molding machine
  • the great advantage is nevertheless achieved that the required flange 18 for receiving the transmitter holes can be made in one piece with the hub surface of the gear part.
  • the ring gear is formed by infeed of a toothed roller 20, the bordering 17 then being pressed into the receiving space 1a of the tool and 8a of the toothed roller 20.
  • a device is shown schematically, in which a shaft 22 can be seen, which carries the receiving spindle for the tool in its upper region.
  • the shaft 22 carries a sprocket 23 in the lower region.
  • a carriage 21 can be seen which carries a shaft 24 which carries the toothed roller in its upper area, while a chain wheel 25 can be seen in the lower area.
  • the two sprockets 23 and 25 are connected to one another by a chain 26 which is guided, inter alia, by deflection and tensioning rollers 27 and 28 which are rotatably mounted on a carriage 29.
  • This carriage 29 can advance and over a hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangement and are moved back, with a corresponding movement of the slide 21, which can be adjusted via a mechanical device (not shown), the chain 26 is correspondingly retensioned by the hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangement 30.
  • the two shafts 22 and 24 can be driven by a motor and absolute synchronous operation is achieved despite the high pressures that occur.
