Abstract

The invention relates to a roller tappet comprising an axle which supports the roller. The aim of the invention is to secure said roller in a simple manner in the roller bearings. To this end, the base body of the tappet is provided with a surrounding groove at pin level. A locking ring similar to a piston ring is arranged in said groove.

Description

Rollenstößel Roller plunger
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rollenstößel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a roller tappet according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Rollenstößel sind z. B. aus der US 5,385,124 A bekannt. Die Sicherung der Rollenachse erfolgt dort über Sicherungsringe, die innerhalb der Rollennaben in Nuten liegen.Such roller tappets are such. B. from US 5,385,124 A. The roller axis is secured there using circlips that are located in grooves within the roller hubs.
Diese Lösung weist mehrere Nachteile auf: Durch die Sicherungsringe ist die tragende Länge der Rollenachse begrenzt und insofern treten höhere Lagerbelastungen auf. Außerdem erfordert das Drehen von Nuten in Bohrungen im Vergleich zu Nuten am Außendurchmesser einen erhöhten Aufwand.This solution has several disadvantages: The load-bearing length of the roller axle is limited by the locking rings and, as a result, higher bearing loads occur. In addition, turning grooves in bores requires more effort than grooves on the outside diameter.
Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich daher mit dem Problem, bei gattungsgemäßen Rollenstößeln die Achse, auf der die Rolle gelagert ist, auf einfache Weise in den Nabenbohrungen zu sichern.The invention is therefore concerned with the problem of securing the axle on which the roller is mounted in a simple manner in the hub bores in the case of generic roller tappets.
Dieses Problem wird bei gattungsgemäßen Rollenstößeln gelöst durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche .This problem is solved in the case of generic roller tappets by the characterizing features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments are the subject of the subclaims.
Dabei kann der Grundkörper des Stößels durchaus aus zwei oder mehreren miteinander verbundenen Bauteilen bestehen. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wirken nicht mehr die Flanken des Sicherungsringes als Anlauffläche für die Rollenachse, sondern die radial innen liegenden Bereiche des Sicherungsringes .The main body of the plunger can consist of two or more components connected to one another. In the solution according to the invention, the flanks of the locking ring no longer act as a contact surface for the roller axis, but rather the radially inner regions of the locking ring.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Sicherung der Rollenachse mit Sicherungsringen, die in Nuten liegen, die am Außendurchmesser des Rollenstößels eingebracht werden, werden Bearbeitungskosten eingespart und es wird nur noch ein - allerdings größerer - Sicherungsring benötigt. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß nur noch eine Nut gestochen werden muß .By securing the roller axle according to the invention with retaining rings which are located in grooves which are introduced on the outside diameter of the roller tappet, processing costs are saved and only one - but larger - retaining ring is required. Another advantage is that only one groove has to be pierced.
Der erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsring muß nicht in axialer Richtung des Stößels gesehen in einer Ebene liegen, die die Längsachse der Rollenachse beinhaltet, sondern er kann auch oberhalb oder unterhalb dieser Ebene liegen. Es genügt, wenn die Rollenachse bei einer Verschiebung in der Rollennabe von innen gegen den Sicherungsring anläuft. Durch die außermittige Lage des Sicherungsrings kann die Länge der Rollenachse und damit auch die tragende Länge nochmals vergrößert werden.The securing ring according to the invention does not have to lie in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis of the roller axis, as seen in the axial direction of the tappet, but it can also lie above or below this plane. It is sufficient if the roller axis runs against the locking ring from the inside during a shift in the roller hub. Due to the off-center position of the locking ring, the length of the roller axis and thus the load-bearing length can be increased again.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigt:The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. It shows:
Fig. 1 einen erfindungsgemäßen Rollenstößel im Querschnitt, geschnitten in Richtung RollenachseFig. 1 shows a roller tappet according to the invention in cross section, cut in the direction of the roller axis
Fig. 2 einen erfindungsgemäßen Rollenstößel im Querschnitt, geschnitten quer zur Rollenachse. Der Rollenstößel 1 besteht aus einem Grundkörper 2, einer Rollenachse 3 und einer Rolle 4. Der Grundkörper 2 weist Naben 5 auf, in denen die Rollenachse 3 gelagert ist. Auf Höhe des Nabenzentrums ist in den Grundkörper 2 eine Nut eingedreht, in der ein Sicherungsring 6 liegt. Die Rollenachse 3 ist in den Naben 5 frei drehbar gelagert. Bei einer axialen Verschiebung der Rollenachse 3 in den Naben läuft diese an die radial innen liegende Fläche des Sicherungsrings an. Die axiale Verschiebung der Rollenachse 3 wird also durch den Sicherungsring 6 begrenzt. Fig. 2 shows a roller tappet according to the invention in cross section, cut transversely to the roller axis. The roller tappet 1 consists of a base body 2, a roller axis 3 and a roller 4. The base body 2 has hubs 5 in which the roller axis 3 is mounted. At the level of the hub center, a groove is screwed into the base body 2, in which a locking ring 6 is located. The roller axle 3 is freely rotatably supported in the hubs 5. In the event of an axial displacement of the roller axis 3 in the hubs, it runs against the radially inner surface of the retaining ring. The axial displacement of the roller axis 3 is thus limited by the locking ring 6.
