Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rocker arm made of thin-walled steel sheet for pivotally hanging arrangement under a beam-like support of a valve train of an internal combustion engine, with inverted U-shaped cross-section, wherein at one end of its crossbar at one end an investment for a gas exchange valve and at the other end a roller is applied as a Nockenanlauf phenomenon or relates to the invention relates to a bar-like carrier with a number hanging thereon arranged rocker arm as mentioned above.
  • rocker arm is described in EP 1 1 19 689 B1, s.
  • Figures 2-6 forth.
  • This is also mounted pivotably suspended under a beam-like carrier of a valve train of an internal combustion engine.
  • the aforementioned rocker arm only has insufficient rigidity, especially in the area of its valve stem installation, but also over its entire course.
  • its manufacture and installation proves to be relatively complex, since, for example, a separate, transverse system part is provided for the valve stem at one end. For attachment of the plant part, the side walls must be provided with separate recesses.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a rocker arm or a beam-like support with at least one tilting lever arranged thereon, in which the aforementioned disadvantages are eliminated.
  • the rocker arm or the at least one rocker arm fastened to the support has, at one end, an M-like cross-section, which is preferably (not conditional) generated by an embossing extrusion process.
  • the rocker arm at the other end in the role of fork-shaped open and has a bent toward the bottom course.
  • the rocker arm can be easily represented in terms of production technology, wherein it has improved rigidity compared to the aforementioned prior art. Just by the embossing extrusion process to create the M-shaped system of the rocker arm in this area has excellent rigidity and can be optionally dimensioned thin-walled.
  • crank at the other end should advantageously be so large that an axial line of the roller is below an imaginary extension of lower sides of the side walls.
  • the crossbar should be formed as smooth as possible closed largely and thus ends before the cranked section. He can only have at least one recess for fixing a spring clip. However, it is also conceivable to have a plurality of longitudinally distributed recesses in the transverse bar or in the side walls, which lead to a mass reduction. If necessary, the person skilled in the art will be provided with suitable beading / stiffening ribs etc. for sufficient rigidity of the material
  • the longitudinal channel created by the embossing extrusion process in the top of the crossbar should be narrower than a distance from inside surfaces of the sidewalls below it.
  • This longitudinal channel has expediently straight side walls and a flat base.
  • a particularly stiff valve stem system is created by this process in a simple manner.
  • the embossing / extruding can be realized in the actual punching-bending operation of the rocker arm, which can be represented for example in several drawing stages on a stamping and bending machine.
  • the recess is located above the dome-shaped indentation, over the corresponding outgoing from the carrier head piece, in which case the recess of the spring clip engages in an undercut of the respective head piece.
  • the role is to protrude beyond the other end of the rocker arm and over an upper and lower side of the side walls.
  • the one-end roller can extend over a rolling bearing (preferably needle bearing) or else via a plain bearing on a bolt, which is fastened to the front side in the cranked area in the side walls. If necessary, however, a sliding tap for the cam is conceivable and provided in the bent area.
  • a rolling bearing preferably needle bearing
  • a plain bearing on a bolt which is fastened to the front side in the cranked area in the side walls. If necessary, however, a sliding tap for the cam is conceivable and provided in the bent area.
  • each rocker arm either be part of a pressure piston of a hydraulic lash adjuster or part of a mechanical lash adjuster.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a rocker arm according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section through the rocker arm
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of the rocker arm
  • Figure 4 shows a cross section through the rocker arm in the region of its system
  • Figure 5 shows a beam-like carrier with it mounted a tilt lever and hydraulic play compensation element
  • Figure 6 is a carrier system similar to the aforementioned structure, but with two rows of attached rocker arms and mechanical lash adjuster.
  • the drawing discloses a rocker arm 1 made of thin-walled sheet steel. This is provided for a suspended arrangement under a beam-like support 2 of a valve train of an internal combustion engine (see also Figures 5, 6). It generally consists of two longitudinally extending side walls 3, which are connected at their upper side 9 by a transverse bar 4. The rocker arm 1 thus forms in cross-section generally an inverted U-shaped profile.
  • a system 7 for a gas exchange valve In the region of one end 6 of the rocker arm 1 has on a bottom 5 of its crossbar 4 a system 7 for a gas exchange valve.
  • the rocker arm 1 has an M-like profile in cross-section (see FIG. 4).
  • The- is preferably produced by a stamping extrusion process.
  • an embossing die of the entire tool engages on the upper side 9 of the crossbar 4 at one end 6 such that this upper side 9 is partially inserted in the direction of the underside 5 and that in the upper side O 9 thus a longitudinal channel 10 is formed, which emanates directly from one end 6.
  • the aforementioned profile of the system 7 can be generated during the Spanlosfertigung of the rocker arm 1 in large series (punch-bending machine).
  • the area of Appendix 7 has excellent rigidity.
  • the rocker arm 1 is formed in its central region widest.
  • the crossbeam 4 has a dome-shaped indentation 17 on its upper side 9.
  • the rocker arm 1, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6, can be arranged to be pivotable indirectly on a support 2 (see below).
  • the rocker arm 1 a downwardly cranked portion 12. This is designed open fork here, so that the crossbar 4 ends approximately in front of the cranked region 12.
  • a bolt 24 is fastened in the side walls 3, on which a roll 13 for a low-friction cam contact extends via a roller bearing 23a. Due to the aforementioned crank the toggle lever 1 also gains in rigidity.
  • the longitudinal channel 10 formed by the embossing extrusion process in the upper side 9 of the crossbar 4 has upright side walls 15 and a flat base surface 16.
  • the area thus penetrated may have a thickness similar to the rest of the transverse bar, but may also be thinner or thicker.
  • a spring clip 19 (see also Fig. 5, 6) attached to one side. Another side of the spring clip 19 is “hooked” over an end face 21 of the crossbar 4 in front of the cranked region 12.
  • the spring clip 19 has a recess 22 above the indentation 17.
  • a simple, articulated and captive pre-assembly of the respective rocker arm 1 relative to the overlying carrier 2 is created.
  • other articulated and captive connections for the rocker arm 1 with the carrier 2 are also conceivable.
  • the head piece 18 is part of a pressure piston 25 of a hydraulic clearance compensation element 26.
  • a number of pressure piston 25 still down to the pivotable the corresponding rocker arms 1 are clipped.
  • a supply of hydraulic clearance compensation elements 26 with hydraulic fluid can be realized via a cutting and longitudinal channel 27.
  • a mechanical clearance compensation device 28 is provided.
  • the respective head piece 18 is formed bolt-like and integral part of the mechanical lash adjuster 28, which need not be described in detail at this point.
  • Difference of this solution to that of Figure 5 is also that on a support 2 two rows away from each other, preferably similar toggle lever 1 are arranged.
