Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tappet in an internal combustion engine and a method of manufacturing it.
  • a tappet is known from JP-A-07 310 508.
  • a helical groove 13 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of raw material for a tappet to make a core material 15, the surface of which is thermally sprayed by wear resistant material such as Fe metal to form a coating layer 17 which covers the helical groove 13.
  • the outer circumferential surface of the coating layer is ground to form a cylindrical portion 18, the end 19 of which is chamfered.
  • the cylindrical wear resistant coating layer 17 in which the groove 13 of the core material 15 is embedded is slightly left as a fine string-like portion 16, which is likely to peel off as small pieces.
  • US-A-4,909,198 discloses a valve lifter having an Al-Si alloy body with an Fe-C coating sprayed on a cylindrical portion of the body, which is formed with keying grooves to receive part of the spray coating.
  • the helical groove gradually becomes smaller in diameter toward the end in the vicinity of the end of the core material, thereby preventing the helical groove from being exposed over the coating layer even if the upper and lower ends of the coating layer are chamfered.
  • the end of the helical groove maybe stopped before the end of the core material, and is connected with the annular groove, thereby preventing removal even if the chamfered portion is exposed owing to corrosion.
  • the tappet according to the present invention comprises the core material in which the helical groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface, and the wear resistant coating layer with which the outer circumferential surface is covered and the ends are chamfered, thereby providing a light weight body and relatively small inertia force, so that response and followability to reciprocal movement is improved. Furthermore, owing to wear resistance in frictional portion, durability will increase.
  • the groove of the core material is completely covered with the coating layer other than upper and lower ends, thereby avoiding thinner string portions as in conventional ones and removal thereof.
  • metal thermal spraying it is suggested that the core material is immersed in melted metal, or plating is applied, but metal thermal spraying is more convenient and economical.
  • a cylindrical raw material 1 of light metal such as Al as shown in Fig. 1 is rotated on an axis, while a cutting tool contacts the outer circumferential surface 2. Feed is axially given by the cutting tool to form a helical groove 3 on the outer circumferential surface of the raw material 1. At the same time, adjacent to the raw material 1, additional feed is given to the cutting tool toward the axis so that the helical groove 3 gradually decreases in diameter toward the end of the raw material 1.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the second embodiment of a tappet according to the present invention.
  • the second embodiment in the vicinity of the end of the raw material 1, feeds are given to the cutting tool in an axial direction and toward the axis, and the raw material 1 is immediately ground to the end thereof without stopping the feeds at near the end of the material 1, so that the helical groove 3 is formed all over the outer circumferential surface 1, and similar way to the first embodiment is then made.
  • the peaks 10 in the helical groove 3 of the material 5 are not exposed over the outer circumferential surface 8 of the coating layer 7.
  • the same numerals arc allotted to the same members and parts in the first embodiment, and the details thereof are omitted.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates the third embodiment of a tappet according to the present invention.
  • feed is given to the cutting tool only in an axial direction, not toward the axis, so that the raw material is ground
  • feed of the cutting tool is stopped, and terminates at a position slightly spaced from the end of the material 1 thereby forming a helical groove 3 having an annular groove 3a at the terminating end then a tappet is made by a way similar to the first embodiment.
