Abstract

The invention relates to a compensating coupling transmitting torque in order to compensate for imprecise alignments in machine elements that are to be joined. One disadvantage with prior art is that these couplings are relatively complicated to produce and that the service life of the spring elements used is limited. The spring element in the inventive coupling is characterised in that recesses (7, 8, 11) and threaded holes (10, 12) are provided on the periphery of the flange of the two half-couplings (1, 2) so that the radially rigid springs (9) that are used as connecting elements or other rigid spring elements inserted in the direction of the periphery fit exactly into the recesses or threaded holes in order to transmit the appropriate torque and to compensate for axial and radial alignment errors. The spring (9) that transmits torque is designed in such a way that it compensates for misalignment of shafts and transmits high amounts of torque. The spring (9) also possesses a long service life as a connecting and transmitting element.

Description

Beschreibung AusgleichkupplungDescription compensating coupling
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ausgleichkupplung zur Übertragung von Drehmomenten zum Ausgleich von Ausricht-Ungenauigkeiten von zu verbindenden Maschinenelementen.The invention relates to a compensating coupling for the transmission of torques to compensate for alignment inaccuracies of machine elements to be connected.
Es sind elastische Kupplungen wie Bolzenkupplungen bekannt, wo eine Kupplungshälfte Stehbolzen trägt, auf deren freie Enden als elastisches Zwischenglied Gummibuchsen aufgesetzt werden, die in die entsprechend vergrößerten Bohrungen der zwei- ten Kupplungshälfte eingreifen. Beim Festziehen des Bolzens einer Kopfschraube erhält die Gummibuchse eine gewisse Vorspannung.Elastic couplings are known, such as pin couplings, where one coupling half carries studs, on the free ends of which rubber bushes are fitted as an elastic intermediate member, which engage in the correspondingly enlarged bores of the second coupling half. When the bolt of a cap screw is tightened, the rubber bushing receives a certain amount of preload.
Es sind auch winkelbewegliche und axial nachgiebige Laschenkupplungen für zwei Wellen enden nach dem DE Patent 195 15 101 bekannt, bei der zumindest drei in Umfangrichtung verteilte Laschen für die Übertragung eines Drehmomentes vorgesehen sind, die durch in Umfangrichtung benachbarte Schraubenbolzen an den Wellenenden festgelegt sind und diese relativ verkantbar verbinden, wobei die Laschen die Schraubenbolzen in unveränderlichen Umfangsabständen verbinden. Die Laschen sind mit zumindest einem in radialer Richtung nach innen vorspringenden, die Gewindebolzen berührenden, elastischen Ansatz zum Aus- gleichen von Fertigungsungenauigkeiten bei der Montage versehen.There are also angularly movable and axially flexible plate couplings for two shaft ends known from DE Patent 195 15 101, in which at least three plates distributed in the circumferential direction are provided for the transmission of a torque, which are fixed by adjacent bolts in the circumferential direction on the shaft ends and these connect relatively tiltable, the tabs connecting the bolts at constant circumferential intervals. The tabs are provided with at least one elastic projection projecting inwards in the radial direction and touching the threaded bolts to compensate for manufacturing inaccuracies during assembly.
Es ist auch eine elastische, axial- und winkelbewegliche Kupplung zur Verbindung zweier sich drehender Maschinenteile mit mindestens einem elastischen Kupplungsteil und mindestens einem drehsteifen Ganzstahlkupplungsteil nach der DE OS 196 14 267 bekannt. Bei dieser Kupplung wird auf dem elastischen Kupplungsteil ein Maschinenteil verdrehbar und in bezug auf dessen Drehachse biegesteif radial geführt, während der drehsteife Kupplungsteil mit dem elastischen Kupplungsteil und dem anderen Maschinenteil jeweils axial und winkelbeweglich verbunden ist. Abgesehen davon, daß bei Laschenkupplungen jedes einzelne Federpaket einer ge- wissenThere is also known an elastic, axially and angularly movable coupling for connecting two rotating machine parts with at least one elastic coupling part and at least one torsionally rigid all-steel coupling part according to DE OS 196 14 267. In this coupling, a machine part is rotatable on the elastic coupling part and radially rigid with respect to its axis of rotation, while the torsionally rigid coupling part is connected to the elastic coupling part and the other machine part in an axially and angularly movable manner. Apart from the fact that in the case of link clutches, each individual spring assembly knows one
Federweglänge bedarf, ist die Anzahl von Laschenpaketen, verteilt auf den Umgang, begrenzt, da ansonsten sich die notwendige Anzahl an Einzelteilen und auch der Durchmesser zu sehr vergrößert. Das heißt, nachteilig bei den beschriebenen Ausführungen wirkt sich der zu betreibende Aufwand hinsichtlich der Herstellung oder das Fehlen einer guten Dauerhaltbarkeit aus. Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, durch den Einsatz einer größeren Anzahl von Federn, verteilt am Umfang der Kupplung, und durch Verbesserung der Federelemente, eine Ausgleichkupplung zu schaffen, die trotz Ausgleich axialer und radialer Ausrichtungsfehler gleichzeitig unter Berücksichtigung einer hohen Lebensdauer auch ein angemessenes Drehmoment überträgt. Diese, der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird durch Ausgestaltung nach den Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgleichkupplung hat gegenüber dem bestehenden Stand der Technik den Vorteil, daß trotz Ausgleichs jeglichen Wellenversatzes in axialer, lateraler und angularer Richtung durch die Einbringung und Anordnung der verschiedenen Schlitze in die Feder, nicht nur hohe Drehmomente übertragbar sind, sondern gleichzeitig eine langfristige Haltbarkeit der als Verbindungs- und Übertragungselemente ausgebildeten Feder erreicht wird. Ferner lassen sich die Federelemente preiswert aus hochwertigem Stahl in großer Stückzahl herstellen und in vorgesehene Kupplungsbaureihen mit wenigen Größen in hoher Varianz in den jeweiligen Drehmomentenbereichen in die Kupplungsgestaltung einbeziehen. Die Montage, Demontage sowie die Reparatur der Kupplung, mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Feder als Verbindungselement, ist einfach und schnell zu bewerkstelligen. Durch die in den Flanschen eingebrachten Ausnehmungen bzw. Hohlräume ist die darin montierte Feder so geschützt untergebracht, daß auch bei einem Bruch die unmit- telbare Umgebung gegen herumfliegende Teile geschützt ist. Durch die vorgesehene Paßgenauigkeit überträgt selbst eine geborstene Feder das Drehmoment weiter und trägt so zur Notlaufeigenschaft der Kupplung bei. Durch die Radialsteifigkeit der einzelnen Federn und durch die Möglichkeit des Einsatzes einer größeren Anzahl von Federn ist die Belastung der Einzelfeder jedoch äußerst gering, so daß ein Bruch kaum eintreten kann.Travel length is the number of lug packets, distributed among the handling, limited, because otherwise the necessary number of individual parts and the diameter increases too much. This means that the outlay in terms of production or the lack of good durability has a disadvantageous effect in the embodiments described. The invention is therefore based on the object, by using a larger number of springs, distributed over the circumference of the coupling, and by improving the spring elements, to provide a compensating coupling which, despite the compensation of axial and radial alignment errors, while also taking into account a long service life, is also appropriate Transmits torque. This object on which the invention is based is achieved by configuration according to the characterizing part of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims. The compensation coupling according to the invention has the advantage over the existing state of the art that, despite compensation for any shaft misalignment in the axial, lateral and angular direction through the introduction and arrangement of the various slots in the spring, not only high torques can be transmitted, but at the same time long-term durability of the spring designed as connecting and transmission elements. Furthermore, the spring elements can be inexpensively manufactured from high-quality steel in large quantities and can be incorporated into the coupling design in the intended coupling series with a few sizes and with a high degree of variance in the respective torque ranges. The assembly, disassembly and repair of the clutch, using the spring according to the invention as a connecting element, can be accomplished simply and quickly. Due to the recesses or cavities in the flanges, the spring mounted therein is protected so that even in the event of a break, the immediate area is protected against flying parts. Due to the intended accuracy of fit, even a burst spring transmits the torque and thus contributes to the emergency running properties of the clutch. Due to the radial rigidity of the individual springs and the possibility of using a larger number of springs, the load on the individual spring is extremely low, so that breakage can hardly occur.

FIG. 4 shows a side view of the spring according to FIG. 3 in section. FIG. 5 shows a top view of the spring according to FIGS. 3 and 4
Die Ausgleichkupplung nach Fig. 1 und 2 besteht aus zwei als Wellenflansche ausgebildete Kupplungshälften 1,2. Zur Aufnahme unterschiedlicher Wellen sind die Mitnehmerteile 3,4 mit beispielsweise unterschiedlichen Bohrungen 5,6 versehen. So sind in der Stirnseite des Flansches der Kupplungshälfte 1 in regelmäßigen Abständen verteilt, Ausnehmungen 7,8, analog der einzubringenden Feder 9 eingearbeitet. Die Ausnehmungen 7,8 weisen mittig eine Gewindebohrung 10 auf. Auch die Stirnseite des Flansches der Kupplungshälfte 2 ist deckungsgleich mit Ausnehmungen 8 sowie zusätzlich mit Ausnehmungen 11 versehen. Mit einem etwas größeren Durchmesser als die Ausnehmungen 11 sind in die Rückseite des Flansches der Kupplungshälfte 2 außerdem Gewindebohrungen 12 eingebracht.1 and 2 consists of two coupling halves 1, 2 designed as shaft flanges. To accommodate different shafts, the driver parts 3, 4 are provided with different bores 5, 6, for example. Thus, in the end face of the flange of the coupling half 1 are distributed at regular intervals, recesses 7, 8, analogous to the spring 9 to be introduced. The recesses 7, 8 have a threaded bore 10 in the center. The face of the flange of the coupling half 2 is also congruent with recesses 8 and additionally with recesses 11. With a slightly larger diameter than the recesses 11, threaded holes 12 are also made in the rear of the flange of the coupling half 2.
Die in und zwischen die Kupplungshälften 1,2 jeweils zu montierende Feder 9 nach Fig. 3 bis 5, als Ausgleichs- und Verbindungselement, ist zylindrisch mit verschiedenen Durchmessern ausgeführt. So liegt das Mittelteil der Feder 9 mit seinem Außen- durchmesser 13 bei Montage passgenau an den Ausnehmungen 8 der beiden Kupplungshälften 1,2 an, während der angearbeitete Bund 14 in den Flansch der Kupplungshälfte 1 eingreift und der im Durchmesser größere Bund 15 mit seiner Anschlag- flache 16 für die Ausnehmung 11 im Flansch der Kupplungshälfte 2 dient. Zur Erreichung des Ausgleicheffektes ist die Feder 9 dabei so ausgebildet, daß diese aus einem zylindrischen Rohrkörper besteht, indem quer zu seiner Längsachse 17 mindestens zwei sich gegenüberliegende Federelemente 18 entstehen, in dem vier sich gleichfalls gegenüberliegende Schlitze 19 eingebracht sind. Zur Erhöhung der Flexibilität und damit zum Ausgleich jeglichen Wellenversatzes in axialer, lateraler und angu- larer Richtung sind die Schlitze einer Hälfte des Rohrkörper so ausgeführt, daß jeweils die außen liegenden Schlitze 19 der oberen Hälfte und die beiden innen liegenden Schlitze 19 in der unteren Hälfte überdeckend ausgeführt sind. In der gegenüberliegenden Hälfte des Rohrkörpers erfolgt die Einarbeitung dann genau umgekehrt, so daßThe spring 9 to be mounted in and between the coupling halves 1, 2 according to FIGS. 3 to 5, as a compensating and connecting element, is cylindrical with different diameters. Thus, the middle part of the spring 9 with its outer diameter 13 fits precisely against the recesses 8 of the two coupling halves 1, 2 during assembly, while the collar 14 which has been worked on engages in the flange of the coupling half 1 and the collar 15, which is larger in diameter, with its stop - Flat 16 for the recess 11 in the flange of the coupling half 2 is used. To achieve the compensating effect, the spring 9 is designed such that it consists of a cylindrical tubular body, by creating at least two opposite spring elements 18 transversely to its longitudinal axis 17, in which four equally opposite slots 19 are made. To increase flexibility and thus to compensate for any shaft misalignment in the axial, lateral and angular direction, the slots in one half of the tubular body are designed such that the outer slots 19 in the upper half and the two internal slots 19 in the lower half are carried out overlapping. In the opposite half of the tubular body, the incorporation then takes place in exactly the opposite way, so that
- 3 - eine ausreichende Radialsteifigkeit in jedem Federelement 18 verbleibt. Durch die eingebrachten Überdeckungen der seitlichen Schlitze 19 in Umfangsrichtung, und der Einbringung axialer Querschlitze 20 an den Stirnseiten der Feder 9 werden die Verbindungsstege 21 derart geöffnet, daß sich eine Z-förmige Verbindung zwischen dem als Vollring verbliebenen Anschlußring 22 ergibt. Der Anschlußring 22 als jeweilige- 3 - sufficient radial rigidity remains in each spring element 18. Due to the overlapping of the lateral slots 19 in the circumferential direction and the introduction of axial transverse slots 20 on the end faces of the spring 9, the connecting webs 21 are opened in such a way that a Z-shaped connection between the connecting ring 22 remaining as a full ring results. The connecting ring 22 as the respective
Möglichkeit zur Addition von Federelementen 18 ist dabei dünn ausgeführt um gleichfalls als Axialfederelement im gesamten Federweg mitzuwirken. Die Montage der Feder 9 erfolgt beispielsweise, indem der Bund 14 der Feder 9 durch die Ausnehmungen 7 des Flansches der Kupplungshälfte 1 aufgenommen wird und mit einer Zylinder - oder Inbusschraube 23 in der Gewindebohrung 10 über die Bohrung 24 des Bundes 14 mit seiner Anschlagfläche 25 für den Schraubkopf der Inbusschraube 23 verschraubt wird. Im Flansch der Kupplungshälfte 2 wird gleichfalls die Feder 9 in die Ausnehmungen 8 eingeschoben und mit dem vergrößerten Bund 15 in die Ausnehmungen 11 eingepreßt und über die vorhandene Gewindebohrung 12, welche sich an der Hinter- seite des Flansches der Kupplungshälfte 2 befindet durch eine Mutter 26 mit Außengewinde und Innensechskant zusätzlich gesichert. Possibility to add spring elements 18 is made thin in order to also act as an axial spring element in the entire spring travel. The spring 9 is assembled, for example, by the collar 14 of the spring 9 being received through the recesses 7 in the flange of the coupling half 1 and with a cylinder or Allen screw 23 in the threaded bore 10 via the bore 24 of the collar 14 with its stop surface 25 for the screw head of the Allen screw 23 is screwed. In the flange of the coupling half 2, the spring 9 is also inserted into the recesses 8 and pressed into the recesses 11 with the enlarged collar 15 and via the existing threaded bore 12, which is located on the rear side of the flange of the coupling half 2, by a nut 26 additionally secured with external thread and hexagon socket.
