- the camshaft adjuster 1 has a first side wall 5 and a second side wall 6, wherein the second side wall 6 is designed as a locking cover, which is required for the axial locking, when the camshaft adjuster 1 in particular for the start of the engine in a middle position between "early” and “late” to be locked.
- a chain not shown, an operative connection between the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and a drive gear is produced, which is rotatably connected to the outer rotor 4.
- An adjusting mechanism not shown, establishes a relative rotational position between the outer rotor 4 and the inner rotor 3.
- the inner rotor 3 is rotatably screwed by a (not shown) central screw with the camshaft 2 of the internal combustion engine.
- the two Figures 1 and 2 differ in that in the case of the solution according to the Fig. 1 the locking cover 6 is arranged on the side remote from the camshaft 2 side. Meanwhile, the lock cover 6 in the solution according to Fig. 2 positioned on the camshaft 2 facing side of the camshaft adjuster 1.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Nockenwellenverstellung einer Brennkraftmaschine, die einen mit einer Nockenwelle drehfest verbundenen Innenrotor aufweist, der relativ zu einem mit einer Kurbelwelle in Antriebsverbindung stehenden Außenrotor drehbar verstellbar ist, wobei in den Außenrotor mindestens eine durch Seitenwände begrenzte Hydraulikkammer eingebracht ist, wobei diese durch ein sich vom Innenrotor radial nach außen erstreckendes Element in zwei Teilkammern unterteilt wird, wobei zur Verriegelung der Relativbewegung zwischen Innenrotor und Außenrotor zwei den Innenrotor axial durchsetzende Verriegelungsstifte vorhanden sind, die in zwei Ausnehmungen eingreifen können, die in eine der als Verriegelungsdeckel ausgebildeten Seitenwände eingebracht sind und wobei mindestens eine der beiden Ausnehmungen im Verriegelungsdeckel eine Anschlagsfläche für den Verriegelungsstift aufweist, deren Lage sich in Umfangsrichtung betrachtet mit dem radialen Abstand von der Achse des Innenrotors verändert. Bevorzugt verändert sich die Lage beider Anschlagsflächen mit dem radialen Abstand von der Achse des Innenrotors.The invention relates to a device for adjusting the camshaft of an internal combustion engine, which has a rotatably connected to a camshaft inner rotor which is rotatably adjustable relative to an outer rotor rotatably connected to a crankshaft, wherein in the outer rotor at least one hydraulic chamber limited by side walls is introduced, said is divided by a radially outwardly extending from the inner rotor element into two sub-chambers, wherein for locking the relative movement between the inner rotor and outer rotor two inner rotor axially passing through locking pins are provided which can engage in two recesses, which are introduced into one of the side walls designed as a locking lid and wherein at least one of the two recesses in the locking cover has a stop surface for the locking pin whose position is viewed in the circumferential direction with the radial distance from the A. Chse of the inner rotor changed. Preferably, the position of both stop surfaces changes with the radial distance from the axis of the inner rotor.
Eine Nockenwellenverstellvorrichtung dieser Art ist aus der
Der Nockenwellenversteller hat also die Funktion, die Winkelposition der Nockenwelle gegenüber der Kurbelwelle des Verbrennungsmotors während des Betriebs zu verändern. Die mit der erläuterten Ausgestaltung einstellbare Winkelposition ist in einem Kennfeld in einem Motorsteuergerät gespeichert und ergibt sich im Wesentlichen durch die beiden Parameter Motorlast und Motordrehzahl. Während des Betriebs des Motors arbeitet der Nockenwellenversteller nach dem Flügelzellenprinzip, das heißt durch Erzeugung einer Öldruckdifferenz in den Hydraulikkammern verstellt der Nockenwellenversteller in Richtung "Frühanschlag" oder "Spätanschlag".The camshaft adjuster thus has the function of changing the angular position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine during operation. The angular position which can be set with the described embodiment is stored in a characteristic map in an engine control unit and results essentially from the two parameters engine load and engine speed. During operation of the engine, the camshaft adjuster operates on the vane-cell principle, that is, by generating an oil pressure difference in the hydraulic chambers adjusted the camshaft adjuster in the direction of "early stop" or "late stop".
Beim Start des Motors tritt das Problem auf, dass im Ölkreislauf des Motors nicht genügend Öldruck vorhanden ist, um den Nockenwellenversteller in einer bestimmten Position zu halten. Die Folge ist, dass der Nockenwellenversteller anfängt, unkontrolliert zu schwingen. Ferner werden durch das Anschlagen der Flügel am Außenrotor (Stator) Geräusche verursacht.When starting the engine, the problem arises that there is not enough oil pressure in the engine's oil circuit to keep the phaser in a particular position. The result is that the camshaft phaser starts to swing uncontrollably. Furthermore, noises are caused by the striking of the wings on the outer rotor (stator).
Bekannt ist es geworden, das genannte Problem dadurch zu lösen, dass eine axiale Verriegelung zwischen dem Innenrotor und einem seitlich angeordneten Verriegelungsdeckel im Nockenwellenversteller vorgenommen wird. Dabei wurde zumeist eine Verriegelung in einer der Endanschlagspositionen "spät" oder "früh" vorgenommen. Dabei kann relativ problemlos durch entsprechende Positionierung des Innenrotors zum Außenrotor vor der Montage des Nockenwellenverstellers das Verriegelungsspiel eingestellt werden. Dieses Spiel darf einerseits nicht zu groß sein, da sonst unerwünschte Geräusche auftreten, andererseits darf es auch nicht zu klein sein, da sonst der Verriegelungsstift (Verriegelungskolben) nicht mehr zuverlässig ein- bzw. ausriegeln kann.It has become known to solve the mentioned problem in that an axial locking between the inner rotor and a laterally arranged locking cover in the camshaft adjuster is made. Mostly a lock was made in one of the end stop positions "late" or "early". It can be adjusted relatively easily by appropriate positioning of the inner rotor to the outer rotor before mounting the camshaft adjuster the locking clearance. On the one hand, this game must not be too big, as otherwise unwanted noises occur, on the other hand It must not be too small, otherwise the locking pin (locking piston) can no longer reliably lock or unlock.
Die Verriegelung in den Endpositionen "früh" bzw. "spät" hat aber auch Nachteile, so dass der Wunsch besteht, eine Verriegelung in einer Mittenlage zwischen "früh" und "spät" vornehmen zu können. Die "Mittenverriegelung" unterscheidet sich von der "Endanschlagverriegelung" dadurch, dass der Nockenwellenversteller in einer definierten Winkelposition zwischen den beiden Endlagen "früh" und "spät" verriegelt wird, was insbesondere beim Start des Motors vorteilhaft ist.However, the locking in the end positions "early" and "late" also has disadvantages, so that there is a desire to make a lock in a middle position between "early" and "late" can. The "center lock" differs from the "end stop lock" in that the camshaft adjuster is locked in a defined angular position between the two end positions "early" and "late", which is particularly advantageous when starting the engine.
Die oben genannte
Ein Nachteil dieser Bauform ist, dass sich aufgrund der Toleranzkette der Bauteile, d. h. namentlich der Verriegelungsstifte in ihren Bohrungen und der Ausnehmungen im Verriegelungsdeckel, ein Verriegelungsspiel ergibt, das - im Gegensatz zu demjenigen bei der Endanschlagsverriegelung - vor der Montage nicht einstellbar ist.A disadvantage of this design is that due to the tolerance chain of the components, d. H. Namely, the locking pins in their holes and the recesses in the locking lid, a locking clearance results, which - in contrast to the one at the Endanschlagsverriegelung - is not adjustable before mounting.
Das Verriegelungsspiel wird im Wesentlichen durch den geometrischen Abstand der beiden Bohrungen im Innenrotor zur Aufnahme der Verriegelungsstifte und den Abstand der beiden Verriegelungsausnehmungen (Verriegelungskulissen) im Verriegelungsdeckel bestimmt. Der Abstand wird daher wesentlich bestimmt durch die Fertigungstoleranzen, wobei bei vorbekannten Lösungen keine Beeinflussung bei der Montage möglich ist. Von Einfluss sind auch noch das Spiel der Verriegelungsstifte in ihren Aufnahmebohrungen im Innenrotor, das Radiallagerspiel des Innenrotors im Außenrotor, die Zentrierung des Verriegelungsdeckels auf dem Außenrotor und die Formgenauigkeit der Verriegelungskulisse. All diese Effekte machen es besonders schwer, ein definiertes Verriegelungsspiel bei einem Nockenwellenversteller der gattungsgemäßen Art aufrechtzuerhalten.The locking clearance is essentially determined by the geometric distance between the two holes in the inner rotor for receiving the locking pins and the distance between the two locking recesses (locking slots) in the locking cover. The distance is therefore essentially determined by the manufacturing tolerances, wherein in prior art solutions no influence during assembly is possible. Of influence are also the game of locking pins in their mounting holes in the inner rotor, the radial bearing clearance of the inner rotor in the outer rotor, the centering of the locking cover on the outer rotor and the dimensional accuracy of the locking link. All these effects make it particularly difficult to maintain a defined locking clearance in a camshaft adjuster of the generic type.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Nockenwellenversteller der eingangs genannten Art so fortzubilden, dass es möglich wird, auch beim Einsatz einer Verriegelung in der Mittenlage zwischen "früh" und "spät" eine weitgehend spielfreie Anordnung zu erhalten, so dass insbesondere die Geräuschentwicklung gering bleibt. Ferner soll die Funktion des Ein- und Ausriegeln durch Wahl eines optimalen, geringen Spiels sichergestellt werden.The present invention is therefore the object of a camshaft adjuster of the type mentioned in such a way that it is possible to obtain even when using a lock in the middle position between "early" and "late" a largely backlash-free arrangement, so that in particular the Noise level remains low. Furthermore, the function of locking and unlocking should be ensured by choosing an optimal, low game.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die als Verriegelungsdeckel ausgebildete Seitenwand der Vorrichtung und der Außenrotor so ausgebildet sind, dass der Verriegelungsdeckel in unterschiedlichen radialen Relativpositionen zum Außenrotor festgelegt werden kann.The solution of this object by the invention is characterized in that the side wall formed as a locking lid of the device and the outer rotor are formed so that the locking cover can be set in different radial relative positions to the outer rotor.
Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass mindestens eine Anschlagsfläche, vorzugsweise beide Anschlagsflächen, einen geraden Verlauf aufweist. Die Anschlagsfläche kann dabei zur radialen Richtung einen Winkel einschließen.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that at least one stop surface, preferably both stop surfaces, has a straight course. The stop surface may include an angle to the radial direction.
Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Anschlagsflächen so angeordnet sind, dass ihr Abstand in Umfangsrichtung betrachtet mit zunehmendem radialen Abstand von der Achse des Innenrotors ansteigt. Möglich ist auch die umgekehrte Ausgestaltung, d. h. dass die Anschlagsflächen so angeordnet sind, dass ihr Abstand in Umfangsrichtung betrachtet mit zunehmendem radialen Abstand von der Achse des Innenrotors abnimmt.Furthermore, it can be provided that the abutment surfaces are arranged so that their distance increases in the circumferential direction increases with increasing radial distance from the axis of the inner rotor. It is also possible the reverse configuration, ie that the stop surfaces are arranged so that their distance in the circumferential direction decreases with increasing radial distance from the axis of the inner rotor.
Für eine einfache Montagemöglichkeit mit Einstellung des Spiels zwischen Anschlagflächen und Verriegelungsstiften ist es weiterhin sehr vorteilhaft, wenn vorgesehen wird, dass im Verriegelungsdeckel oder im Außenrotor Bohrungen für den Durchtritt von Befestigungselementen, insbesondere Schrauben, angeordnet sind, die eine Radialverschiebung zwischen dem Verriegelungsdeckel und dem Außenrotor erlauben.For a simple mounting option with adjustment of the game between stop surfaces and locking pins, it is also very advantageous if it is provided that holes for the passage of fasteners, in particular screws, are arranged in the locking cover or in the outer rotor, the radial displacement between the locking cover and the outer rotor allow.
Der Verriegelungsdeckel ist dabei bevorzugt scheibenförmig ausgebildet.The locking cover is preferably disc-shaped.
Die Funktion des Verriegelungsdeckels ist zum einen das Abdichten der Ölkammern und zum anderen das Übertragen des Antriebsmoments von der Kurbelwelle auf die Nockenwelle, wenn der Nockenwellenversteller axial verriegelt ist.The function of the locking cover is on the one hand the sealing of the oil chambers and on the other hand, the transmission of the drive torque from the crankshaft to the camshaft when the camshaft adjuster is axially locked.
Mit der vorgeschlagenen Ausgestaltung eines Nockenwellenverstellers wird es möglich, eine "Mittenverriegelung" zu erreichen, bei der bei Einsatz der beiden Verriegelungsstifte ein genau einstellbares Spiel verbleibt, das die Funktionalität des Nockenwellenverstellers aufrecht erhält und zu einem günstigen Betriebsverhalten führt, insbesondere was die Geräuschentwicklung anbelangt. Das Spiel für die Verriegelungsstifte kann in einfacher Weise bei der Montage des Nockenwellenverstellers eingestellt werden.With the proposed embodiment of a camshaft adjuster, it is possible to achieve a "center lock" in which when using the two locking pins a precisely adjustable game remains that maintains the functionality of the camshaft adjuster and leads to a favorable operating behavior, in particular as regards the noise. The game for the locking pins can be easily adjusted during assembly of the camshaft adjuster.
Insbesondere muss nicht in Kauf genommen werden, dass bei Nockenwellenverstellern der gattungsgemäßen Art ein zu großes Verriegelungsspiel vorliegt, wie es bei vorbekannten Lösungen oft der Fall ist.In particular, it does not have to be accepted that in the case of camshaft adjusters of the generic type there is too great a locking clearance, as is often the case in previously known solutions.
In vorteilhafter Weise ist keine Änderung des axialen Bauraums erforderlich, d. h. die Deckelbreite bzw. -dicke ist im Vergleich mit vorbekannten Lösungen unverändert.Advantageously, no change in the axial space is required, ie the lid width or thickness is unchanged in comparison with prior art solutions.
Die vorgeschlagene Lösung ist auch anwendbar, wenn sich im Nockenwellenversteller ein zusätzlicher Verriegelungskolben für eine zusätzliche Endanschlagsverriegelung befindet, wie es bei manchen Konstruktionen vorgesehen ist.The proposed solution is also applicable when the camshaft adjuster an additional locking piston for an additional Endanschlagsverriegelung is, as provided in some constructions.

In
Über eine nicht dargestellte Kette wird eine Wirkverbindung zwischen der Kurbelwelle der Brennkraftmaschine und einem Antriebszahnrad hergestellt, das drehfest mit dem Außenrotor 4 verbunden ist. Eine nicht dargestellte Verstellmechanik stellt eine relative Drehstellung zwischen Außenrotor 4 und Innenrotor 3 her. Der Innenrotor 3 ist über eine (nicht skizzierte) Zentralschraube drehfest mit der Nockenwelle 2 der Brennkraftmaschine verschraubt.A chain, not shown, an operative connection between the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and a drive gear is produced, which is rotatably connected to the
Die beiden
Der Verriegelungsdeckel 6 des Nockenwellenverstellers 1 kann sich also auf der zum Motor hin zu- oder abgewandten Seite befinden. Seine Achse ist koaxial zur Achse des Innen-/Außenrotors 3, 4 bzw. der Nockenwelle 2 ausgerichtet.The locking
In
In den Innenrotor 3 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel fünf Nuten eingearbeitet, die sich vorliegend in radiale Richtung und entlang der axialen Richtung des Nockenwellenverstellers erstrecken. In jede Nut ist ein Element 8 in Form eines Flügels eingesteckt. Der Flügel 8 erstreckt sich in seinem montierten Zustand radial bis an die äußere radiale Begrenzung der Hydraulikkammer 7. Dadurch wird die Hydraulikkammer 7 in zwei Teilkammern 9 und 10 unterteilt, die jeweils - was nicht näher dargestellt ist - mit Hydraulikleitungen in Verbindung stehen, über die Hydraulikfluid in die Teilkammern 9, 10 eingeleitet werden kann. Der Flügel 8 kann grundsätzlich auch als Dichtleiste oder ähnliches Element ausgebildet sein, das eine Unterteilung der Hydraulikkammer 7 in zwei Teilkammern 9, 10 bewerkstelligen kann.In the
Die Verriegelung des Nockenwellenverstellers 1 in einer Mittenlage zwischen "früh" und "spät" wird durch zwei Verriegelungsstifte 11 und 12 bewerkstelligt, die in entsprechenden Bohrungen im Innenrotor 3 eingesetzt sind. Die Verriegelungsstifte sind mit nicht dargestellten Mitteln in Achsrichtung beweglich und wirken als Verriegelungskolben. Im Zusammenwirken mit der Ausgestaltung des Verriegelungsdeckels 6 kann eine Blockierung der relativen Drehung zwischen Innenrotor 3 und Außenrotor 4 vorgenommen werden.The locking of the
Hierzu wird auf die
In den Verriegelungsdeckel 6 sind zwei Ausnehmungen 13 und 14 eingearbeitet, die als Kulissen fungieren. Sie dienen dazu, für die beiden Verriegelungsstifte 11 und 12 Anschlagsflächen 15 und 16 zu definieren, die die Ausnehmungen 13, 14 in Umfangsrichtung U begrenzen, so dass bei eingeriegelten Verriegelungsstiften 11, 12 der Innenrotor 3 relativ zum Außenrotor 4, an dem der Verriegelungsdeckel 6 befestigt ist, in Unfangsrichtung U festgelegt ist, und zwar in einer Mittenposition, wie es aus
Wesentlich ist, dass mindestens eine der beiden Ausnehmungen 13 bzw. 14 - im Ausführungsbeispiel beide Ausnehmungen 13, 14 - eine Anschlagsfläche 15, 16 für den Verriegelungsstift 11, 12 dergestalt aufweist, dass sich deren Lage - in Umfangsrichtung U betrachtet - mit dem radialen Abstand r von der Achse 17 des Innenrotors 3 verändert. Wie zu sehen ist, sind die beiden hier gerade ausgebildeten Anschlagsflächen 15 und 16 unter einem Winkel α zur radialen Richtung R angeordnet, der vorliegend bei ca. 15° liegt.It is essential that at least one of the two recesses 13 and 14 - in the embodiment, both recesses 13, 14 - a
Damit wird folgender vorteilhafte Effekt erreicht: Wird der Verriegelungsdeckel 6 relativ zum Außenrotor 4 in radiale Richtung R verschoben, ergibt sich zwischen den beiden Anschlagsflächen 15 und 16 in Abhängigkeit der radialen Relativposition ein sich verändernder Abstand in Umfangsrichtung U betrachtet.This results in the following advantageous effect: If the locking
Bezogen auf das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß
Dieser Effekt kann genutzt werden, um bei der Montage des Nockenwellenverstellers das Spiel zwischen den Verriegelungsstiften 11, 12 und den Anschlagsflächen 15, 16 im Verriegelungsdeckel 6 einzustellen.This effect can be used to adjust the clearance between the locking pins 11, 12 and the abutment surfaces 15, 16 in the locking
Eine relative Verschiebung des Verriegelungsdeckels 6 relativ zum Außenrotor 4 wird im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der
Der Verriegelungsdeckel 6 ist als dünnwandige Scheibe ausgeführt. Im Zentrum ist eine kreisförmige Aussparung 19 vorgesehen, die das Montieren des Nockenwellenverstellers am Motor mittels einer Zentralschraube ermöglicht. Der Außendurchmesser des Verriegelungsdeckels 6 entspricht dem des Außenrotors 4.The locking
Die Anzahl der Bohrungen 18 im Verriegelungsdeckel 6 ist abhängig von der Anzahl der im Nockenwellenversteller vorhandenen Hydraulikkammern 7. Die Bohrungen 18 können als Durchgangs- oder als Gewindebohrungen ausgebildet sein.The number of
Bei Betätigung der Verriegelungsstifte 11, 12 (z. B. mittels einer Federkraftbeaufschlagung in axiale Richtung) treten diese in die Ausnehmungen 13, 14 ein und kommen in der in
Die beiden Anschlagsflächen 15, 16 in den Ausnehmungen 13, 14, die als Kulisse fungieren, wirken also wie ein Keil, über den das Spiel eingestellt werden kann.The two
Bei der Montage, bei der auch das Verriegelungsspiel für die Verriegelungsstifte eingestellt wird, wird wie folgt vorgegangen:During assembly, which also sets the locking clearance for the locking pins, proceed as follows:
Bei der Einstellung des Verriegelungsspiels wird - ähnlich wie bei der vorbekannten Verriegelung in einem Endanschlag - der Verriegelungsdeckel 6 in der benötigten Position zum Außenrotor 4 positioniert und dann fixiert.When setting the locking game is - similar to the prior art locking in an end stop - the
Bei der Montage wird zunächst der Nockenwellenversteller verriegelt komplett vormontiert, die Schrauben zum Festlegen des Verriegelungsdeckels 6 sind jedoch noch nicht angezogen.When assembling the camshaft adjuster is initially locked completely pre-assembled, the screws for fixing the locking
