Definitions
- the invention relates to a rocker arm of a valve train of an internal combustion engine, with two side walls, which are connected to one another by a crossbeam, which crossbeam acts on at least one gas exchange valve on its underside at one end and is mounted on a head of a support element at the other end via a dome-like molding , with a clip being applied at the other end, via which the rocker arm is fixed in position in its pivoting direction on the head.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a rocker arm of the aforementioned type, in which the disadvantages cited are eliminated.
- the clip consists of thin-walled wire material, extends essentially transversely to a longitudinal axis of the rocker arm and rests with a central section on the underside of the crossbar, which section is formed from two webs which extend on both sides of a transverse plane that intersects the center of the support element and extend semicircularly in a diameter reduction of the support element below the head thereof, the clamp on each outer surface of the corresponding side wall being continued via two parallel approaches and the approaches on an upper side of the respective side wall or on a contact surface which is essentially parallel to the upper side is snapped with its ends in such a way that at least more than half of the upper side or the contact surface is overlapped.
- the rocker arm is freely movable in its pivoting direction and at the same time the wire-like clamp is a very inexpensive and extremely light connection means.
- the clip can optionally run with its ends on at least one upper side in a depression.
- the ends of the clip are optionally brought together on the corresponding upper side.
- This can be implemented on an upper side, but also on both upper sides, so that either a clip that is open on one side is present or the clip is optionally completely closed.
- the clip may have to receive the closed training by suitable connecting measures in the area of its end.
- the rocker arm should have a generally U-shaped cross section.
- a U-shaped cross-section can also be provided only as a U-like cross-section or an H-cross-section or the like.
- the rocker arm is made of sheet metal.
- the person skilled in the art will also discover other materials, including plastics or a drag lever achieved in terms of casting technology, the scope of protection of this invention also including the U-shape without combination with the sheet metal material.
- FIG 2 shows the rocker arm with the clip according to the invention of Figure 1 in side view
- FIG. 3 shows a rocker arm according to FIG. 1 with an alternative design
- FIG. 4 shows the corresponding side view according to FIG. 3.
- the figures disclose a rocker arm 1, which consists of thin-walled sheet metal here.
- This rocker arm 1 is used in a valve train of an internal combustion engine. It has side walls 2, 3, which are on their underside te are connected by a crossbar 4.
- the crossbar 4 acts at its end, not shown in the drawing, on at least one gas exchange valve in the lifting direction. At the other end, it is pivotably mounted in the area of a lower side 5 via a dome-shaped indentation 7 on a head 8 of a support element 9.
- the support element 9 can be designed to act hydraulically.
- the rocker arm 1 is connected to the support element 9 via a clamp 10 made of preferably thin-walled wire material and applied in the region of a further end 6 in such a way that it can be freely pivoted in its pivoting direction.
- the rocker arm 1 with the support element 9 can be supplied as a structural unit to the engine manufacturer and can be completed by the engine manufacturer there into the cylinder head.
- the clip 10 as an extremely inexpensive connecting element, prevents the rocker arm 1 from slipping off the head 8 of the supporting element 9 before or during the assembly of the valve drive and also during firing of the internal combustion engine.
- the clamp 10 runs essentially transversely to a longitudinal axis of the rocker arm 1. It has a central section 11 resting on its underside 5. This section consists of two webs 12, 13, each on one side run semicircular in a diameter reduction 14 below the head 8 of the support element 9. Laterally, the webs 12, 13 are drawn with their ends (not designated) via projections 17a, 17b and 18a, 18b via a corresponding side wall 2, 3 of the rocker arm 1 onto a corresponding upper side 19, 20. The ends are, so to speak, snapped onto the tops 19, 20.
- an elevation 21 can be provided on each of the upper sides 18, 19 (at least on one upper side). This is from the Enclosed ends of the corresponding lugs 17a, 17b and 18a, 18b. This prevents the clamp 10 from slipping in the longitudinal direction of the rocker arm 1. 1 shows the variant in which only the top 19 is provided with the corresponding elevation 21. On the upper side 20, however, the end of the clamp 10 extends beyond the upper side 20 in the direction of the longitudinal center plane of the rocker arm 1 and is designed to be closed in this area. The ends on the top 19 are shown open.
- the ends (here those of the shoulders 17a, 17b on the side wall 2) can also run in a recess 22 on the upper side 19. This in turn prevents the clamp 10 from slipping in the longitudinal direction of the rocker arm 1.
- the aforementioned elevation 21 or depression 22 can optionally be dispensed with, so that the corresponding ends run on upper surfaces 19, 20 which are smooth in this area.
