Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lastverstelleinrichtung mit einem die Leistung einer Brennkraftmaschine steuernden, insbesondere als Drosselklappe ausgebildeten, auf einer Stellwelle angeordneten Stellglied, wobei die Stellwelle mittels eines reversierbaren Stellantriebs zwischen einer Minimallaststellung und einer Volllaststellung schwenkbar antreibbar ist, und mit einer einzigen, als Rückstellfeder zur Vorspannung der Stellwelle in Minimallastrichtung und als Notlauffeder zur Vorspannung der Stellwelle gegen einen Notlaufanschlag ausgebildeten Drehfeder, deren erstes Ende mit der Stellwelle und deren zweites Ende mit einem Arm eines zwischen einem Minimallast-Anschlag und dem Notlaufanschlag bewegbaren Abstützteil verbunden oder verbindbar ist.The invention relates to a load adjustment device with a power controlling an internal combustion engine, in particular as a throttle valve trained, arranged on an actuator shaft, the Actuating shaft by means of a reversible actuator between one Minimum load position and a full load position is pivotally driven, and with a single, as a return spring for biasing the control shaft in Minimum load direction and as an emergency running spring for pretensioning the actuating shaft against a run-flat stop torsion spring, the first end with the control shaft and its second end with an arm one between a minimum load stop and the emergency stop can be moved Support part is connected or connectable.

Lastverstellvorrichtungen der vorstehenden Art sind allgemein unter der Bezeichnung E-Gas zur Leistungsverstellung der Brennkraftmaschine von Kraftfahrzeugen bekannt. Durch den Einsatz einer einzigen Drehfeder als Notlauffeder und als Rückstellfeder ist die Lastverstellvorrichtung besonders kompakt aufgebaut und weist ein besonders geringes Gewicht auf.Load adjustment devices of the above type are generally under the Designation E-gas for power adjustment of the internal combustion engine from Motor vehicles known. By using a single torsion spring as The load adjustment device is special as an emergency spring and as a return spring compact design and particularly light in weight.

Aus der DE 195 24 941 A1 ist eine Lastverstellvorrichtung für ein die Leistung einer Brennkraftmaschine bestimmtes Stellglied bekannt, daß auf einer Stellwelle einen drehbar gelagerten Anschlaghebel aufweist. Dabei ist eine Drehfeder zwischen diesem Anschlaghebel und der Stellwelle gespannt. Hierzu umschließt ein annähernd U-förmig gebogenes Ende der Drehfeder einen Zapfen des Anschlaghebels teilweise. Ebenfalls eine Befestigung einer Drehfeder mittels eines annähemd U-förmig gebogenen Endes an einem festen Element beschreibt die DE 27 28 022 A1.From DE 195 24 941 A1 is a load adjustment device for the Performance of an internal combustion engine certain actuator known to an actuating shaft has a rotatably mounted stop lever. It is a torsion spring between this stop lever and the actuating shaft curious; excited. For this purpose, an approximately U-shaped end encloses the Torsion spring partially a pin of the stop lever. Another one Attachment of a torsion spring by means of an approximately U-shaped curve DE 27 28 022 A1 describes the end of a fixed element.

Nachteilig bei der bekannten Lastverstellvorrichtung ist, daß die Enden der Drehfeder aufwendig an der Stellwelle und dem Abstützteil befestigt werden müssen, da die Drehfeder in beide Drehrichtungen der Stellwelle wirkende Stellkräfte ausübt. Weiterhin können Vibrationen des Kraftfahrzeuges zu einem Lösen der Befestigungen der Drehfeder führen. Zur Befestigung der Drehfeder an der Stellwelle hat die Stellwelle in der Regel einen Schlitz, in den die Drehfeder eingesteckt wird. A disadvantage of the known load adjustment device is that the ends of the Torsion spring can be attached to the adjusting shaft and the support part must, since the torsion spring acting in both directions of rotation of the control shaft Actuates. Furthermore, vibrations of the motor vehicle can increase loosen the fastenings of the torsion spring. To attach the Torsion spring on the control shaft, the control shaft usually has a slot in the torsion spring is inserted.

Man könnte daran denken, das zweite Ende der Drehfeder an dem Abstützteil festzuschrauben. Hierdurch gestaltet sich die Lastverstellvorrichtung jedoch besonders kostenintensiv. Weiterhin kann sich eine Schraube durch Vibrationen lösen, so daß dann die Drehfeder keine Verbindung mehr mit dem Abstützteil hätte.One could think of the second end of the torsion spring on the support member tighten. As a result, the load adjustment device is designed however, it is particularly expensive. Furthermore, a screw loosen by vibrations so that the torsion spring then no connection would have more with the support part.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Lastverstellvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten, daß sie besonders kostengünstig aufgebaut ist und daß die Drehfeder besonders zuverlässig an dem Abstützteil befestigt ist.The invention is based on the problem of a load adjustment device of the type mentioned in such a way that they are particularly inexpensive is constructed and that the torsion spring is particularly reliable the support part is attached.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1.This problem is invented solved with the features according to Claim 1.

Durch diese Gestaltung kann die Drehfeder in beide Richtungen der Stellwelle wirkende Stellkräfte auf das Abstützteil übertragen, ohne daß sie sich selbständig von dem Abstützteil lösen kann. Vibrationen des Kraftfahrzeugs führen ebenfalls nicht mehr zu einem Lösen der Drehfeder von dem Abstützteil. Hierdurch ist die Drehfeder formschlüssig und damit besonders zuverlässig an dem Abstützteil befestigt. Das Hintergreifen eines Teilstücks des Abstützteils durch die Drehfeder gestaltet sich im Vergleich zu einem Verschrauben besonders kostengünstig.This design allows the torsion spring in both directions Actuating shaft transferring acting forces to the support part without it can detach itself from the support part. Vibrations of the Motor vehicle also no longer lead to a loosening of the torsion spring from the support part. As a result, the torsion spring is positive and thus attached particularly reliably to the support part. Grasping one Part of the support part by the torsion spring is compared for screwing particularly inexpensive.

Die Befestigung der Drehfeder an dem Abstützteil gestaltet sich gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung konstruktiv besonders einfach, wenn das zweite Ende der Drehfeder einen Zapfen des Abstützteils umschließend gestaltet ist. Hierdurch muß das zweite Ende der Drehfeder zur Montage lediglich auf den Zapfen des Abstützteils aufgesteckt werden. The torsion spring is attached to the support part in accordance with an advantageous development of the invention is particularly constructive simply when the second end of the torsion spring pivots the support member is designed around. This must result in the second end of the Torsion spring for assembly is simply plugged onto the pin of the support part become.

Das zweite Ende der Drehfeder ist gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung an dem Abstützteil besonders zuverlässig gehalten, wenn das zweite Ende der Drehfeder U-förmig gebogen ist und an ihrem freien Ende eine in Richtung der Basis des U's weisende Federzunge hat.The second end of the torsion spring is advantageous according to another Further development of the invention on the support part is particularly reliable held when the second end of the torsion spring is bent in a U-shape and at its free end a spring tongue pointing towards the base of the U. Has.

Zur weiteren Verringerung der Kosten für die Befestigung der Drehfeder trägt es gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung bei, wenn die Federzunge von der Drehfeder abgewinkelt ist.To further reduce the cost of attaching the torsion spring wearing it according to another advantageous development of the invention when the spring tongue is angled away from the torsion spring.

Ein Lösen des zweiten Endes der Drehfeder von dem Zapfen des Abstützteils in Richtung der Achse des Zapfens läßt sich gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung einfach vermeiden, wenn der Zapfen des Abstützteils das zweite Ende der Drehfeder übergreifend gestaltet ist.Disengaging the second end of the torsion spring from the pin of the support member in the direction of the axis of the pin can be according to another simply avoid advantageous development of the invention if the pin of the support part spans the second end of the torsion spring is designed.

Das zweite Ende der Drehfeder ist gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung in alle Richtungen gegen ein Lösen gesichert, wenn der Zapfen des Abstützteils eine Ausnehmung zur Aufnahme des zweiten Endes der Drehfeder aufweist.The second end of the torsion spring is advantageous according to another Development of the invention secured in all directions against loosening, if the pin of the support part has a recess for receiving the second end of the torsion spring.

Die Drehfeder wird gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung einfach gegen ein Verkanten gesichert, wenn das Abstützteil eine Grundplatte zur Führung der Drehfeder aufweist.The torsion spring is according to another advantageous development Invention simply secured against tilting when the support member has a base plate for guiding the torsion spring.

Ein Verklemmen der Drehfeder an einem Rand des Abstützteils läßt sich gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vermeiden, wenn das Abstützteil in seinen radial äußeren Bereichen mehrere Anschläge zur Begrenzung der radialen Erstreckung der Drehfeder aufweist. A jamming of the torsion spring on an edge of the support part can be done according to another advantageous development of the invention, if the support part has several in its radially outer regions Has stops to limit the radial extent of the torsion spring.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Lastverstellvorrichtung mit einem schwenkbar auf einem Gehäusestutzen 1 gelagerten Abstützteil 2. Im Zentrum des Gehäusestutzens 1 ist eine Stellwelle 3, bei der es sich beispielsweise um eine Drosselklappenwelle mit einer nicht dargestellten Drosselklappe handeln kann, ebenfalls schwenkbar gelagert. Die Stellwelle 3, die beispielsweise mit dem Abstützteil 2 verschweißt ist oder eine Baueinheit bildet, ist über eine Drehfeder 4 mit dem Abstützteil 2 verbunden und läßt sich von einem reversierbaren Stellantrieb 5 über ein zur Vereinfachung der Zeichnung nicht dargestelltes Getriebe verschwenken. Weiterhin hat der Stellantrieb 5 einen Mitnehmer 6 zum Auslenken eines Schwenkarms 7 des Abstützteils 2. Das Abstützteil 2 weist einen Anschlagarm 8 auf, der die Bewegung des Abstützteils 2 zwischen einem Minimallast-Anschlag 9 und einem Notlaufanschlag 10 begrenzt. Das Abstützteil 2 hat eine Grundplatte 11 zur Führung der Drehfeder 4 und in seinen radial äußeren Bereichen mehrere Anschläge 12 bis 14 zur Begrenzung der radialen Erstreckung der Drehfeder 4.1 shows a load adjustment device with a pivotable on a housing stub 1 supported part 2. In The center of the housing connector 1 is an adjusting shaft 3, which is, for example around a throttle valve shaft with a not shown Throttle valve can act, also pivotally mounted. The control shaft 3, which is welded to the support part 2, for example, or a Forms unit is connected to the support part 2 via a torsion spring 4 and can by a reversible actuator 5 via a To simplify the drawing, pivot the gear (not shown). Furthermore, the actuator 5 has a driver 6 for deflecting one Swivel arm 7 of the support part 2. The support part 2 has a stop arm 8 on the movement of the support member 2 between a Minimum load stop 9 and an emergency stop 10 limited. The support part 2 has a base plate 11 for guiding the torsion spring 4 and in its radially outer areas several stops 12 to 14 for limitation the radial extension of the torsion spring 4.

Zur Befestigung der Drehfeder 4 weist die Stellwelle 3 einen Schlitz 15 auf, in den das eine Ende der Drehfeder 4 eingesteckt wird. Das zweite Ende der Drehfeder 4 ist U-förmig gebogen und hat eine in Richtung der Basis des U's weisende Federzunge 16 zum Hintergreifen eines Zapfens 17 des Abstützteils 2. Zur Montage des zweiten Endes der Drehfeder 4 an dem Abstützteil 2 wird das offene Ende des U's über den Zapfen 17 gedrückt, bis die Federzunge 16 hinter dem Zapfen 17 einschnappt. Hierdurch kann die Drehfeder 4 Kräfte in beide Drehrichtungen auf die Stellwelle 3 übertragen.The actuating shaft 3 has a slot 15 for fastening the torsion spring 4 in which one end of the torsion spring 4 is inserted. The second The end of the torsion spring 4 is bent in a U-shape and has one in the direction of The base of the U-pointing spring tongue 16 for engaging behind a pin 17 of the support part 2. To assemble the second end of the torsion spring 4 the support part 2, the open end of the U is pressed over the pin 17, until the spring tongue 16 snaps behind the pin 17. hereby the torsion spring can apply 4 forces in both directions to the actuating shaft 3 transferred.

Die Figur 2 läßt in einer Schnittdarstellung entlang der Linie II - II durch Figur 1 erkennen, daß die Anschläge 12 bis 14 und der Zapfen 17 an ihrem der Grundplatte 11 für die Drehfeder 4 abgewandten Ende radial nach innen umgebogen sind. Hierdurch wird die Drehfeder 4 auf der Grundplatte 11 gehalten und ihr Herausfallen aus dem Schlitz 15 der Stellwelle 3 verhindert.2 shows a sectional view along the line II - II Figure 1 recognize that the stops 12 to 14 and the pin 17 on her the base plate 11 for the torsion spring 4 remote end are bent inwards. As a result, the torsion spring 4 on the Base plate 11 held and falling out of the slot 15 of the Control shaft 3 prevented.

Die Figur 3 zeigt eine weitere nicht erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform der Befestigung der Drehfeder 4 an dem Abstützteil 2. Das Abstützteil 2 weist einen senkrecht zu der Grundplatte 11 angeordneten Zapfen 18 auf. Der Zapfen 18 wird von einem U-förmig gebogenen Ende einer Drehfeder 4 umgriffen. Das Ende der Drehfeder 4 weist eine Abwinklung 19 zum Eingreifen in eine Ausnehmung 20 des Zapfens 18 auf.FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the fastening of the Torsion spring 4 on the support part 2. The support part 2 has a vertical to the base plate 11 arranged pin 18. The pin 18 will encompassed by a U-shaped end of a torsion spring 4. The End of the torsion spring 4 has a bend 19 for engaging in one Recess 20 of the pin 18.

Die Figur 4 verdeutlicht in einer Schnittdarstellung entlang der Linie IV - IV durch Figur 3 die Befestigung der Drehfeder 4 an dem Zapfen 18. Hierbei ist zu erkennen, daß die Abwinklung 19 von einer Ecke des freien Endes der Drehfeder 4 gebildet ist.Figure 4 illustrates in a sectional view along the line IV - IV by Figure 3 the attachment of the torsion spring 4 on the pin 18. Here it can be seen that the bend 19 from a corner of the free end the torsion spring 4 is formed.

In Figur 5 ist gezeigt, daß der Zapfen 17 des Abstützteils 2 das zweite Ende der Drehfeder 4 übergreifend gestaltet ist. Zu diesem Zweck weist die Drehfeder 4 an ihrem zweiten Ende in Längsrichtung eine Schräge 21 auf. Der Zapfen 17 besitzt eine Abwinklung 22, die beispielsweise durch Stanzen aus dem ursprünglich geraden Zapfen 17 gebildet wird. Die Schräge 21 der Drehfeder 4 und die Schräge der Abwinklung 22 laufen parallel, wobei die Abwinklung 22 die Schräge 21 der Drehfeder übergreift, so daß die Drehfeder 4 nach dem Einsetzen unter Spannung von dem Zusammenspiel aus Schräge 21 und übergreifende Abwinklung 22 lagefixiert ist.In Figure 5 it is shown that the pin 17 of the support member 2 is the second End of the torsion spring 4 is designed to span. For this purpose points the torsion spring 4 has a bevel 21 at its second end in the longitudinal direction on. The pin 17 has a bend 22, for example, by Stamping from the originally straight pin 17 is formed. The Slant 21 of the torsion spring 4 and the slope of the bend 22 run parallel, the bend 22 overlaps the slope 21 of the torsion spring, so that the torsion spring 4 after insertion under tension from the interplay of bevel 21 and overall bending 22 is fixed in position.

Die Figur 6 verdeutlicht in einer Schnittdarstellung entlang der Linie V - V durch Figur 5 die Befestigung der Drehfeder 4 an dem Zapfen 17. Hierbei ist zu erkennen, daß die Abwinklung 22 das zweite Ende der Drehfeder 4 übergreift. Die Montage erfolgt beispielsweise derart, daß die Drehfeder von einem Montagewerkzeug unter Vorspannung gehalten wird und das U-förmige zweite Ende (bei Betrachtung der Figur 6 von links) im Abstand zu dem Zapfen 17 gebracht wird und dann seitlich verschoben wird, so daß die Schräge 21 unter die Abwinklung 22 gelangt. Nach Wegnahme des Montagewerkzeuges (gegebenenfalls nachdem das erste Ende der Drehfeder auch lagefixiert wurde) steht die Drehfeder 4 unter ihrer Sollspannung und zieht dadurch die Schräge 21 weiter unter die Abwinklung 22, bis die Lagefixierung erreicht ist. FIG. 6 illustrates in a sectional illustration along the line V - V through Figure 5 the attachment of the torsion spring 4 on the pin 17. Here it can be seen that the bend 22 the second end of the torsion spring 4th overlaps. The assembly takes place, for example, in such a way that the torsion spring is held under tension by an assembly tool and that U-shaped second end (when viewing Figure 6 from the left) at a distance is brought to the pin 17 and then moved laterally, so that the slope 21 gets under the bend 22. After removal of the assembly tool (if necessary after the first end of the Torsion spring was also fixed in position), the torsion spring 4 is under its target tension and thereby pulls the slope 21 further under the bend 22 until the position is fixed.
