Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rocker arm made of thin-walled steel sheet for pivotally suspended arrangement under a beam-like carrier 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 a system for a gas exchange valve and at the other end a role as a cam contact surface
  • the invention is applied or relates to a beam-like carrier with a series hanging thereon arranged rocker arm as mentioned above.
  • rocker arm goes out of the EP 1 119 689 B1 , s. for example.
  • 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 produced in a simple manner, while having an improved stiffness compared with 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 largely smooth surface closed and thus ends before the cranked section. He can only have at least one recess for fixing a spring clip.
  • 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 / extrusion 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 punch-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.
  • a Gleitabgriff for the cam is conceivable and provided in the cranked area.
  • each rocker arm either be part of a pressure piston of a hydraulic lash adjuster or part of a 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 carrier 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 in cross-section on an M-like profile (see FIG. 4 ).
  • This is preferably generated by a stamping extrusion process.
  • an embossing stamp of the entire tool engages the top 9 of the crossbar 4 at one end 6 such that this top 9 is partially inserted in the direction of the bottom 5 and that in the top 9 thus a longitudinal channel 10 is formed directly from the one end 6 starts.
  • 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 widest in its central region.
  • the crossbar 4 has at the top 9 here a dome-shaped indentation 17.
  • the rocker arm 1, as the Figures 5 . 6 reveal, indirectly on a support 2 (see below) are arranged to pivot.
  • the rocker arm 1 has a downwardly bent region 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 fixed in the side walls 3, on which a roller bearing 23a extends over a roller 13 for a low-friction cam contact. Due to the aforementioned crank the toggle lever 1 also gains in rigidity.
  • FIG. 4 shows, formed by the embossing extrusion process in the top 9 of the crossbar 4 longitudinal channel 10 upright side walls 15 and a flat base 16.
  • the thus penetrated area may have a thickness as the rest of the crossbar, but also be thinner or thicker.
  • recess 20 in the crossbar 4 is a spring clip 19 (see also FIG Fig. 5 . 6 ) with one side attached. 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 play compensation element 26.
  • a number of pressure piston 25 still extend from the carrier 2 below, to which the corresponding rocker arms 1 are clipped pivotally movable.
  • a supply of hydraulic clearance compensation elements 26 with hydraulic fluid can be realized via a cutting and longitudinal channel 27.
  • a mechanical lash adjuster 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 the after FIG. 5 is also that on a support 2 two rows away from each other, preferably similar toggle lever 1 are arranged.
