Eine Ventilschaftdichtung hat die Funktion (1) das Zumessen von Öl für eine adäquate Schmierung am Ventilschaft/der Ventilführungsgrenzfläche, und (2) die Minimierung des internen Ölverbrauchs.From US-A-5, 174, 256, US-A-4,947,811, US-A-4,909,202, US-A-3,554,562, US-A-5,558,056 and US-A-3,554,180 are valve stem seals known. A valve stem seal has the function (1) Metering of oil for adequate lubrication on the valve stem / Valve guide interface, and (2) minimization of internal oil consumption.
Allgemein gesprochen umfaßt eine Ventilschaftdichtunganordnung ein starres Hülsenteil, um einen Dichtungskörper an einer Ventilschaftführung festzulegen, wobei der Innendurchmesser des Hülsenteils mit dem Außendurchmesser der Führung zusammenarbeitet. Das Hülsenteil trägt üblicherweise ein Dichtungselement, welches um den Ventilschaft zentriert ist, um Öl zuzumessen, welches die Grenzfläche zwischen dem Innendurchmesser der Führung und dem Ventilschaft schmiert, wobei aber die in eine Brennkammer oder eine Auslaßkammer eingesaugte Ölmenge möglichst gering sein sollte. Wenn das starre Hülsenteil nicht in geeigneter Weise der Ventilführung zugeordnet ist, kann das Dichtungselement nicht in geeigneter Weise auf dem Ventilschaft aufsitzen, woraus sich ungleichmäßige Drücke am Zylinder und der Ventilführung, unerwünschte Verschleißerscheinungen an der Dichtung oder dem Ventilschaft und ein nicht im voraus bestimmbarer Ölstrom zu dem Ventilschaft ergeben.Generally speaking, a valve stem seal assembly includes a rigid sleeve part to attach a sealing body to fix a valve stem guide, the inner diameter of the sleeve part with the outer diameter of the guide cooperates. The sleeve part usually registers Sealing element, which is centered around the valve stem, to measure oil, which is the interface between the inner diameter the guide and the valve stem lubricates, but with the in a combustion chamber or an exhaust chamber the amount of oil sucked in should be as small as possible. If that rigid sleeve part is not suitable for the valve guide is assigned, the sealing element can not in suitably sit on the valve stem, resulting in uneven pressures on the cylinder and the valve guide, undesirable signs of wear on the seal or the valve stem and an oil flow that cannot be determined in advance to the valve stem.
Bisherige Ventilschaftdichtungen zeigten Rißbildungen an den Flanschen während des Fahrzeugbetriebs, da in konzentrierter Weise Stoßwellen und interne Belastungen am Flanschabschnitt der Ventilschaftdichtung auftraten. Bisherige Ventilschaftdichtungen bereiteten auch Schwierigkeiten hinsichtlich der Bereitstellung eines ebenen Flansches, da hierdurch die Gefahr der Rißbildung am Flansch erhöht wird.Previous valve stem seals have shown cracks on the Flanges during vehicle operation, as in concentrated Shock waves and internal loads on the flange section the valve stem seal occurred. Previous valve stem seals also caused difficulties with the Provision of a flat flange, as this makes the Risk of crack formation on the flange is increased.

Unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung wird eine zweiteilige
Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung 10 gezeigt. Die Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung
10 hat eine zweiteilige Auslegungsform.
Die zweiteilige Auslegungsform umfaßt ein starres Hülsenteil
14, welches vorzugsweise aus einem metallischen Material
hergestellt ist, welches aber auch aus einem keramischen
Werkstoff oder irgendeinem anderen harten, steifen Material
hergestellt sein kann. Das starre Hülsenteil 14 ist ebenfalls
vorzugsweise zylindrisch ausgestaltet. Es kann jedoch
auch irgendeine andere geeignete Gestalt in Abhängigkeit von
den jeweiligen Gegebenheiten bei den speziellen Anwendungsformen
der Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung haben. Die Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung
10 umfaßt auch einen federnd nachgiebigen
Dichtungskörper 18, welcher direkt haftend mit dem
starren, zylindrischen Hülsenteil 14 verbunden ist. Das
starre, zylindrische Hülsenteil 14 ist in Kontakt mit einem
zweiten, starren Hülsenteil 15. Das zweite, starre Hülsen-.
teil 16 ist vorzugsweise aus einem metallischen Material
hergestellt, kann aber auch aus einem keramischen Werkstoff
oder irgendeinem anderen starren Material hergestellt sein.
Das zweite, starre Hülsenteil 16 ist ebenfalls vorzugsweise
zylindrisch ausgestaltet. Es kann aber auch irgendeine andere
geeignete Gestalt in Abhängigkeit von den jeweiligen
Gegebenheiten bei den speziellen Anwendungsformen der Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung
haben. Es sollte noch erwähnt
werden, daß der federnd nachgiebige Dichtungskörper 18 vorzugsweise
aus einem Kautschukmaterial hergestellt ist. Er
kann aber auch aus irgendeinem anderen federnd nachgiebigen
Kautschukmaterial oder einem Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt
sein, welches Dichtungseigenschaften bereitstellen kann. Bei
der bevorzugten Ausführungsform des starren, zylindrischen
Hülsenteils 14 ist ein Festsitz mit dem zweiten, starren
Hülsenteil 16 vorgesehen, aber es können auch irgendwelche
andere Arten von Verbindungen oder Haftverbindungen, wie
Schweißen, direktes Schmieden, oder andere Verbindungsarten
oder Verbindungseinrichtungen, eingesetzt werden. Das starre,
zylindrische Hülsenteil 14 umfaßt eine nach innen weisende
Stirnwand 20. Das starre, zylindrische Hülsenteil 14
umfaßt auch einen nach außen vorstehenden Flansch 22 an
einem Ende desselben. Das starre, zylindrische Hülsenteil 14
umfaßt ferner eine nach außen gerichtete Abstufung 44 auf
einer inneren Fläche des Hülsenteils 14.With reference to the drawing, a two-part
Valve
Der federnd nachgiebige Dichtungskörper 18 ist direkt an der
Stirnwand 20 des starren, zylindrischen Hülsenteils 14 angeformt.
Der federnd nachgiebige Dichtungskörper 18 kann an
die Stirnwand 20 derart angeformt sein, daß er die Stirnwand
20 vollständig umgibt. Jedoch können auch andere Ausformungsarten
zum Verbinden des Dichtungskörpers 18 mit dem
starren, zylindrischen Hülsenteil 14 eingesetzt werden. Es
sollte noch erwähnt werden, daß andere Methoden, wie ein
Festsitz, Epoxiharze oder andere Methoden eingesetzt werden
können, welche ermöglichen, daß man eine feste Verbindung
zwischen dem zylindrischen Hülsenteil 14 und dem federnd
nachgiebigen Dichtungskörper 18 erhält. Die Kautschukauskleidung
28 ist ebenfalls auf der Innenwand des starren,
zylindrischen Hülsenteils 14 angeformt und ist in Kontakt
mit der Ventilführung 24 beim Einführen in einen Motorzylinderkopf
oder einen Motorblock 26. Das starre, zylindrische
Hülsenteil 14 hat einen Festsitz mit dem zweiten, zylindrischen
Hülsenteil 16 und erzeugt eine Haltekraft, um die
Kautschukauskleidung 28 in konstantem Kontakt mit der Ventilführungsanordnung
24 anzudrücken. Die vertikale Wand 30
des zweiten, starren, zylindrischen Hülsenteils 16 verhindert
jede Möglichkeit, daß das Dichtungselement der Ventilschaftanordnung
sich von der Ventilführung 24 während des
Betriebs des Fahrzeugs lösen kann. Das zweite, starre Hülsenteil
16 bietet auch einen Schutz dahingehend, daß die
Ventilfeder 32 vor einem Verschleiß in dem Zylinderkopf 26
während des Betriebszustandes geschützt wird.The resilient sealing
Das zweite, zylindrische Hülsenteil 16 umfaßt einen nach
innen verlaufenden Flansch 34. Das zweite, zylindrische
Hülsenteil 16 umfaßt auch einen Metallflansch oder einen
Sitz 36, welcher in direktem Kontakt mit dem Motorblockkopf
26 ist und den Sitz für die Ventilfeder 32 bildet, so daß
die Ventilfeder 32 während des Fahrzeugbetriebs im Zylinderkopf
keinem Verschleiß ausgesetzt ist. Das zweite, starre,
zylindrische Hülsenteil 16 wird gesondert von dem ersten,
starren, zylindrischen Hülsenteil 14 der Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung
10 hergestellt. Diese gesonderte Herstellungsweise
ermöglicht, daß sich das Auftreten von internen
Belastungen bei dem zweiten, starren, zylindrischen Hülsenteil
16 reduzieren läßt. Hierdurch wird ermöglicht, daß der
Flansch 26 des zweiten, starren, zylindrischen Hülsenteils
eine Ebenheit besitzt, welche sich genauer vorgeben läßt,
wodurch sich die Häufigkeit des Auftretens von Rißbildungen
am Flansch reduzieren läßt, wobei diese Rißbildung allgemein
bei Ventilschaftdichtungen dieser Bauart eine Schwierigkeit
darstellt. Da bei der Erfindung jedoch das zweite, starre,
zylindrische Hülsenteil 16 gesondert von dem ersten, starren,
zylindrischen Hülsenteil 14 und dem Dichtungsköper 18
hergestellt wird, lassen sich nach den Herstellungsvorgängen
für die gesonderten Teile diese zu einer Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung
10 zusammensetzen, welche bei einer Fahrzeugbrennkraftmaschine
eingesetzt wird.The second,
Der federnd nachgiebige Dichtungskörper 18 umfaßt auch eine
ringförmige Dichtlippe 38 am oberen Teil, welche eine konstante
Dichtung mit dem Ventilschaft 14 während des Fahrzeugbetriebszustandes
bereitstellt. Der federnd nachgiebige
Dichtungskörper 18 umfaßt auch eine konkave Ausnehmung 42
entlang des oberen Teils des federnd nachgiebigen Dichtungskörpers
18. Die konkave Ausnehmung 42 nimmt ein Federteil 12
auf und hält dieses in seiner Position, welches die federnd
nachgiebige, ringförmige Dichtlippe 38 in konstantem Kontakt
gegen den Ventilschaft 40 während des Fahrzeugbetriebs andrückt.
Diese Feder 12 und die ringförmige Dichtlippe 38
steuern die Ölmenge zwischen dem Ventilschaft 40 und der
Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung 10.The
Übliche Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnungen waren im Betriebszustand
gezwungen, während des Arbeitens eines Kraftfahrzeugs
und deren Brennkraftmaschine sich durch die Ventilfeder
zu drehen. Hierdurch ist die Dichtlippe Torsionsbeanspruchungen
ausgesetzt sowie Axialkräften von dem hin- und
hergehend beweglichen Ventilschaft während des Arbeitens der
Brennkraftmaschine. Bei der bevorzugten Auslegungsform der
Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung 10 jedoch ist während des
Arbeitens der Brennkraftmaschine das erste, zylindrische,
starre Hülsenteil 14 von dem zweiten, starren, zylindrischen
Hülsenteil 16 getrennt, wodurch ermöglicht wird, daß das
zweite, starre, zylindrische Hülsenteil 16 sich mit der
Ventilfeder 12 drehen kann, aber sich die gesamte Ventilschaftdichtunganordnung
10 nicht mit der Ventilfeder 12
dreht. Dies führt dazu, daß das Dichtungselement 18 bezüglich
des Ventilschafts 40 stationär ist, d.h. daß es sich
nicht um den Ventilschaft 40 dreht. Hierdurch läßt sich der
Verschleiß an der Dichtlippe reduzieren und die Standzeit
der Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung 10 läßt sich erhöhen.
Auch ist eine bessere Steuerung der Ölzumessung während der
Einsatzzeit der Dichtung einfacher, wennsich nicht die
gesamte Ventilschaftdichtungsanordung dreht. Die Ventilschaftdichtungsanordnung
10 wird als eine Einheit eingebaut,
da ein Festsitz zwischen dem ersten, starren, zylindrischen
Hülsenteil 14 und dem zweiten, starren, zylindrischen Hülsenteil
16 vorgesehen ist. Die Trennung des ersten, starren,
zylindrischen Hülsenteils 14 von dem zweiten, starren, zylindrischen
Hülsenteils 16 tritt nur während des Brennkraftmaschinenbetriebs
auf, wodurch nur ermöglicht wird, daß das
zweite, starre, zylindrische Hülsenteil 16 eine Drehbewegung
ausführt, während das erste, starre, zylindrische Hülsenteil
14 und der Dichtungskörper 18 um den Ventilschaft 40 stationär
bleiben.Usual valve stem seal arrangements were in the operating state
forced while working a motor vehicle
and their internal combustion engine by the valve spring
to turn. As a result, the sealing lip is subjected to torsional stresses
exposed as well as axial forces to and fro
moving valve stem while working the
Internal combustion engine. In the preferred embodiment of the
