Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a seal for a rod sliding against the action of elastic means, in particular an internal combustion engine valve stem.
  • Known elastomeric seals for preventing leakage of the supply system lubricating oil into the combustion chamber of the engine substantially consist of a substantially sleeve-shaped sealing portion, and a sleeve-shaped assembly portion fitted in a seat formed externally on the valve stem guide.
  • the assembly portion normally presents a rigid metal stiffener, normally outside the co-molded assembly portion, and which provides for ensuring correct positioning of the seal.
  • the ends of the valve stem contrast springs facing the cylinder head normally rest on metal caps in turn resting directly on the cylinder head.
  • a seal for a rod sliding against the action of elastic means in particular the stem of an internal combustion engine valve; the seal comprising a substantially sleeve-shaped elastomeric element, in turn comprising a sealing portion cooperating with said stem, and an assembly portion designed to fit inside a seat on the guide element of said stem; and a stiffener formed integral with said assembly portion; characterized by the fact that said stiffener comprises a portion for supporting and centering said elastic means contrasting the movement of said stem; said supporting and centering portion extending radially and axially outwards in relation to said elastomeric element, and on the opposite side in relation to said sealing portion.
  • Number 1 in the accompanying drawings indicates a seal for a sliding rod 2, and particularly in the example shown for the stem 2 of an intake or exhaust valve 3 (shown only partially in Fig.1) of an internal combustion engine of which the cylinder head 4 is shown partially.
  • Seal 1 comprises a substantially sleeve-shaped elastomeric element 5, in turn comprising a sealing portion 6 cooperating with stem 2 of valve 3, and an assembly portion 7 designed to fit inside a substantially cylindrical seat 8 on the guide element 11 of stem 2.
  • a stiffener 12 is provided inside and formed integral with assembly portion 7.
  • Sealing portion 6 presents two inner projecting sealing lips 13 cooperating in sliding manner with the outer surface 14 of stem 2 of valve 3, for preventing oil from leaking towards cylinder head 4 and into the engine through guide element 11 of stem 2.
  • sealing portion 6 presents an outer annular pressure element, e.g. an annular spring 15, for exerting predetermined radial pressure on sealing lips 13 between which an oil collecting chamber 16 is formed.
  • an outer annular pressure element e.g. an annular spring 15
  • stiffener 12 is co-molded with elastomeric element 5, and comprises, outside element 5, a portion 21 for supporting and centering a spring 22 contrasting axial movement of stem 2 of valve 3.
  • Supporting and centering portion 21 extends radially and axially outwards in relation to elastomeric element 5, and on the opposite side in relation to sealing portion 6.
  • supporting and centering portion 21 in turn presents a first substantially flat supporting surface 23 designed to rest on a corresponding flat surface 24 of cylinder head 4; while a second surface 25, opposite surface 23, supports end 26 of contrast spring 22.
  • supporting and centering portion 21 is thus gripped between cylinder head 4 and end 26 of spring 22, and, via stiffener 12, provides for maintaining assembly portion 7 in the design position inside seat 8 and, consequently, for maintaining sealing portion 6 contacting surface 14 of stem 2.
  • supporting and centering portion 21 presents a substantially S-shaped radial section, and comprises a first portion 31 blending with stiffener 12 and projecting radially from elastomeric element 5, a second cylindrical portion 32 for centering spring 22 and substantially coaxial with sealing portion 7, and a peripheral supporting portion 33 substantially perpendicular to cylindrical centering portion 32 and having surfaces 23 and 25 on either side.
  • the portion of the seal for supporting and centering the coil spring is fixed directly to the assembly portion stiffener and co-molded directly with the elastomeric element, thus enabling the seal (which is gripped inside the seat by the spring) to be maintained in the required position, and automatic centering of the coil spring.
  • the supporting portion also provides for dispensing with the spring caps, thus enabling low-cost automated assembly of the seal, and overcoming the noise problem typically associated with spring caps.
