Definitions

  • the invention relates to an elastic rubber bearing with an intermediate tube, namely a bush bearing with a stiffening insert arranged in the elastomeric bearing body.
  • Rubber bearings of the bushing type which are used, for example, in automotive engineering to support the components of the wheel suspension, for example the wishbones, essentially consist of a mostly hollow cylindrical, usually metallic inner part, an outer sleeve surrounding this inner part and an intermediate one and one with the inner part and the Outer sleeve connected by vulcanization elastomeric bearing body.
  • Classify Nersteifungselement By means of this mostly tubular stiffening element consisting of a hard plastic or metal, the ratio between the radial identification and the torsion identification can be increased or the torsion identification reduced.
  • a bush bearing with a tubular stiffening element (intermediate tube) inserted into the elastomer is disclosed, for example, in JP 07248422.
  • the intermediate tube is either axially continuously slotted or has two longitudinal slots extending from an end face of the part over approximately 2/3 of its axial extent.
  • the preload which may be generated is not distributed uniformly over the circumference of the bearing body. This disadvantage could be avoided by several slots distributed over the circumference.
  • the stiffening element would then consist of several parts, which would make it significantly more difficult to insert it into the injection mold for casting with the elastomer.
  • the second form of training disclosed in the document has two slits which are opposite one another on the circumference but start from an end face of the part and are not continuous. Although this results in a more uniform preload in relation to the circumference of the bearing body, there is the disadvantage of an uneven distribution of the preload in relation to the axial bearing extension.
  • the object of the invention is to design a generic bearing so that it is easy to assemble during manufacture for casting with the elastomer or its parts are simply inserted into the corresponding tool and are in its bearing body after vulcanization by calibrating the outer sleeve in the elastomer can generate a preload which is distributed as evenly as possible both in relation to the circumference and in the axial direction.
  • the elastic rubber bearing according to the invention which is designed as a bush bearing and consists of an essentially cylindrical (mostly hollow cylindrical) inner part, an outer sleeve surrounding it and an elastomeric bearing body located therebetween and connected to the inner part and the sleeve by vulcanization, is in the bearing body arranged a tubular stiffening element which has at least two non-continuous longitudinal slots distributed around its circumference and running essentially in the axial direction.
  • the intermediate tube in contrast to the prior art, is slotted on both sides with respect to its axial extent. At least one longitudinal slot extends from each of the two axial ends of the intermediate tube and is open towards this end and extends in the direction of the other axial end.
  • the longitudinal slots are not axially continuous, but they each extend at least to the middle of the intermediate tube in relation to the axial direction. Due to the distribution of the longitudinal slots both on the circumference of the intermediate tube and in relation to its axial extension, it is possible in the elastomer also in its area located radially between the stiffening element and the inner part, solely by reducing the diameter of the outer sleeve to build up a very uniform preload based on the circumference and the axial bearing extension. The caused by the calibration of the outer sleeve
  • Rubber compression leads to a high radial rigidity of the elastomeric bearing body, which is almost the same over the entire circumference.
  • the ratio between radial The identifier and torsion identifier are increased and thus the radial load capacity is increased.
  • the radial load capacity which is almost the same over the entire circumference, increases the service life of the bearing. Due to the lower torsional stiffness in comparison, the driving behavior of the bearing according to the invention is improved in the area of the wheel suspension of vehicles. The suspension becomes softer. Due to the fact that the inner part does not have to be expanded to produce the pretension, high-strength materials can be used for this. This increases the stability of the inner part, which also has an advantageous effect on the service life of the entire bush bearing. In addition, the manufacturing costs are reduced by eliminating one step after assembling the bearing and its vulcanization.
  • the longitudinal slots are open alternately to the axial ends of the intermediate tube, that is to say if, relative to the circumference of the intermediate tube, longitudinal slots arranged adjacent to one another are each open to opposite axial ends of the intermediate tube.
  • the longitudinal slots are also arranged uniformly distributed over the circumference of the intermediate tube, that is to say they are at equal distances from one another at least in the region of the axial ends of the intermediate tube.
  • the longitudinal slots also run parallel to one another and to the central axis of the bearing.
  • the longitudinal slots extend from the respective axial end of the intermediate tube in the axial direction at least to the center thereof.
  • the longitudinal slots extend beyond the axial center, but of course nevertheless not continuously, so that the longitudinal slots extending from opposite axial ends overlap with regard to their axial extent.
  • the longitudinal slots which are open at one axial end of the intermediate tube and separated from the other axial end by a web, form two interdigitated structures.
  • the intermediate tube and the longitudinal slots incorporated therein are dimensioned such that the ratio between the height of a web separating the respective slot from an axial end of the intermediate tube and the total axial length of the intermediate tube is the ratio of the width of the slot concerned and corresponds to the diameter of the intermediate tube.
  • the intermediate tube can have additional recesses distributed over its circumferential surface in addition to the slots, but are closed at both axial ends. These act as flow openings, which promote the flow of the elastomer during vulcanization.
  • a flange can also be formed on one axial end or on both axial ends of the intermediate tube, said flange being penetrated by the longitudinal slots extending from the relevant axial end.
  • the flange can have a closed ring shape or can be divided into segments by the longitudinal slots.
  • the intermediate tube has elevations distributed around the circumference in the region of the axial ends (end region). These elevations can be formed both on the outer circumferential surface and on the inner surface of the intermediate tube or even on both surfaces. In order to ensure the function of the elastomer, these elevations are formed exclusively in the forehead area. The elevations facilitate an optimal insertion of the intermediate tube or the intermediate sleeve into the injection mold and thus improve the introduction of the elastomer. A means having the same effect is the formation of such elevations on the tool itself, by means of which corresponding elevations or depressions form on the rubber contour.
  • the intermediate tube of the bearing is depending on the intended use and the resulting requirements made of steel, aluminum or a solid plastic.
  • the bush bearing according to the invention is preferably designed as a prefabricated structural unit, for which calibration is largely unnecessary when it is installed as intended.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment for an intermediate tube of a bearing according to the invention in a perspective view
  • FIG. 2 shows the intermediate tube according to FIG. 1 in a sectional view
  • Fig. 3 shows a bush bearing according to the invention with one arranged therein
  • Fig. 4 shows a modification of the intermediate tube according to Fig. 1 and
  • Fig. 5 is an intermediate tube with a flange formed on one side.
  • the stiffening element 4 which is generally made of sheet steel, has the shape of a hollow cylinder, into which four longitudinal slots 5, 5 ', 5 ", 5'” are incorporated, evenly distributed over its circumference, offset by 90 °.
  • the axially non-continuous longitudinal slots 5, 5 ', 5 ", 5'” are designed in a manner according to the invention in such a way that the intermediate tube 4 is slotted on both sides with respect to its axial extent.
  • the longitudinal slots 5, 5 ', 5 ", 5'” alternately begin at one of the two axial end faces 6, 7 of the intermediate tube 4.
  • the longitudinal slots 5, 5 ', 5 “, 5'” run parallel to one another and to the longitudinal axis 8, not shown in FIG. 1, of the stiffening element 4.
  • the length of the slots 5, 5 ', 5 “, 5'” which are only open to one axial end 6 of the part is selected such that the height H of the slot 5, 5 ', 5 “, 5'” from the respective the other axial end 7 of the intermediate tube separating web 9 to the total axial length L of the intermediate tube 4 has the same ratio as the width B of the respective longitudinal slot 5, 5 ', 5 ", 5'” to the diameter D of the intermediate tube 4.
  • FIG. 2 shows the stiffening element 4 according to FIG.
  • the two longitudinal slots 5 ', 5''arranged on the circumference adjacent to the slot 5 shown in FIG. 2 extend in the axial direction starting from the opposite axial end face 6 of the cylindrical element or intermediate tube 4 (see here Fig. 1).
  • the stiffening element 4 designed in this way can additionally have a plurality of recesses 10 distributed over its circumference. These so-called flow openings or bores 10, not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, promote better flow of the elastomer during spraying.
  • Fig. 3 the bearing according to the invention with the intermediate tube 4 arranged therein is shown in a sectional view.
  • the bearing consists of the inner part 1, an outer sleeve 2 arranged around the inner part and the elastomeric bearing body 3 arranged in between.
  • the stiffening element 4 is vulcanized into the elastomeric bearing body 3 with the longitudinal slots 5, 5 ', 5 ", 5"', which according to the example shown in FIG. 3, the flow bores 10 already mentioned.
  • the intermediate tube 4 shown in the example has, on its circumferential surface, in the region of both axial ends 6, 7, elevations 11 arranged distributed over the circumference.
  • elevations 11 which do not extend over the entire axial length of the component, an optimal insertion of the Intermediate tube 4 in the injection mold for joining the bearing by introducing the elastomer between the inner part 1 and outer sleeve 2 favored.
  • the elevations 11 serve simultaneously as a guide and spacer, so that the longitudinal slots 5, 5 ', 5 ", 5'" of the intermediate tube 4 do not come into contact with the wall of the injection mold.
  • FIG. 5 also shows an intermediate pipe 4 as a single part in a perspective view, on which a flange is formed at an axial end 6 and extends radially in its outer circumference.
  • the opposite axial end 7 of the intermediate tube 4 has no flange.
