Definitions
- the invention relates to a valve stem seal for internal combustion engines with a dynamic sealing part resting on a valve stem and a static sealing part resting on a valve guide made of elastomeric materials, the static sealing part being surrounded by a dimensionally stable stiffening ring.
- Valve stem seals of this type have many uses.
- the modern valve stem seals have a dynamic seal, which seals the valve stem.
- the seal is intended to prevent lubricant from getting into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine along the valve stem.
- the static seal lies against the valve stem guide and serves as a fastening part for the dynamic seal.
- DE 100 28 587 A1 shows a valve train for an internal combustion engine which is provided with a static and a dynamic seal which forms a preassembled unit.
- the static seal is surrounded by a support body or stiffening ring, which has a radially outwardly extending flange on which the valve spring is supported.
- valve stem seal of a comparable design is also shown in DE 39 02 518 A1.
- a wear-resistant valve spring support is arranged on the spring side of this radially bent leg in this valve stem seal.
- the valve spring support can be designed as an annular disc, which consists of hardened steel. It is advantageous to firmly connect the disc to the tubular body that surrounds the static seal in order to create an installation unit in this way.
- On the inner circumference of the disc radially inwardly extending tongues are arranged, which are firmly connectable with their radially inner end region to the outer circumference of the tubular body.
- the disadvantage of this solution is that the valve spring and thus also the valve tappet with the valve disk cannot move freely. The spring works its way into the flange or the annular disk and is thereby prevented from rotating.
- the invention has for its object to provide a valve stem seal, which enables free rotation of the valve head on the valve seat. This ensures a uniform contact between these parts reached, which in turn leads to a higher compression within the cylinder.
- valve stem seal of the type mentioned at the outset in that a support ring is provided which is separate from the stiffening ring of the static sealing part and which permits free rotation of the valve spring and the valve spring plate including the valve spring head.
- the valve stem seal is intended to represent a preassembled unit and for this reason it is advantageous if the support ring is connected to the valve spring during assembly, for example by gluing. Only after assembly the valve stem seal on the cylinder head of the engine should the support ring be released from the valve spring.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment is achieved in that the support ring and the stiffening ring are initially combined to form a unit and are only separated from the support ring after the valve stem seal has been installed.
- This is achieved in that the support ring in the form of a support ring is first connected to the stiffening ring via at least one predetermined breaking point, that is to say represents a unit. During assembly, the support ring can be broken off from the stiffening ring by applying the appropriate pressure.
- the predetermined breaking point it is also possible to design the predetermined breaking point in such a way that it only breaks after the internal combustion engine has been started up and then releases the support ring.
- the support ring is rotatably placed on a flange of the reinforcement ring which is integrally directed outward with the reinforcement ring and is in contact with the cylinder head.
- this ring is pressed against the flange by the spring, so that the spring ring and flange with associated stiffening ring are to be considered as belonging to the valve stem unit.
- the flange with the support ring or the support ring alone can be inserted in a recess in the cylinder head. This counteracts a displacement of the support ring, particularly if the inner diameter of the support ring is relatively large.
- the positioning of the static sealing part is carried out on the end face of the valve stem guide. This facilitates the assembly of the individual parts.
- the static sealing part can be provided with an axial ring surface for contact with the end face of the valve stem guide.
- the stiffening ring has an angle or S shape, the inwardly directed leg being located at the transition to the sealing lip and being encompassed by the elastomer material of the sealing element.
- the part of the stiffening ring lying in the longitudinal direction of the valve stem guide is connected to the elastomer material of the sealing part essentially over the entire length of its inner surface.
- the valve stem guide consists of a tube with a constant inside and outside diameter over its entire length.
- Figure 1 shows a valve stem seal in longitudinal section with indicated
- Figure 2 shows the valve stem seal according to Figure 1 after breaking off the support ring
- Figure 3 shows a longitudinal section through a valve stem seal with a separate support ring on the flange of the stiffening ring
- valve stem seal 1 shows the left side of a valve stem seal 1 in longitudinal section.
- the valve stem with valve head and valve plate are omitted for the sake of clarity.
- the valve stem seal 1 consists of the dynamic sealing part 2 which is in contact with the valve stem and which is formed from an elastomeric material and has the sealing lip 3.
- the sealing lip 3 is pressed against the valve stem by a helical spring 4.
- the valve stem itself is guided in the valve stem guide 5.
- the static sealing part 6 of the seal is placed on the valve stem guide 5.
- the static seal 6 is surrounded by the stiffening ring 7 made of metal.
- the stiffening ring 7 is S-shaped and its inwardly directed leg 9, which lies at the transition to the sealing lip 3, is encompassed by the elastomer material of the sealing part 2.
- the stiffening ring 7 is provided with a step-like and radially outwardly directed flange 10.
- the flange 10 is supported on the
- the flange 10 in turn rests on the cylinder head 12 of the internal combustion engine.
- the flange 10 is preferably at the point 13 Provide a predetermined breaking point, which results in a separation of the outermost flange part from the stiffening ring 7 during the assembly of the valve stem seal 1 or after a short start-up of the internal combustion engine.
- the separated flange part represents the support ring 14 for the valve spring 11, which can rotate with the spring 11 independently of the stiffening ring 7. With 15 two further predetermined breaking points are indicated, of which one can take the place of the predetermined breaking point 13.
- the predetermined breaking point 13 is preferred.
- FIG. 2 shows the right side of the valve stem seal according to FIG. 1 after the support ring 14 has been separated from the stiffening ring 7. The two parts are then independent of one another. So that a displacement of the support ring 14 with respect to the stiffening ring or the valve stem guide 5 does not occur, there is a recess 16 in the cylinder head 12, which radially encompasses the support ring 14 or its outer edge.
- Figure 3 shows an embodiment in longitudinal section in which the basic structure of the valve stem seal 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, is retained. Deviating is the design of the stiffening body 7, which has been designed without predetermined breaking points.
- the outer flange part 10 of the stiffening body 7 is equipped with a separate support ring 20, which rests on the flange which is integrally connected to the stiffening ring 7 and faces outwards and lies against the cylinder head 12.
- the support ring 20 is rotatably arranged and made of a high-strength material in contrast to the stiffening ring 7, which can be made of a cheaper material.
- the bearing ring 20 lying loosely on the flange 10 can rotate freely with the spring 11.
