Description

Hydraulischer Nockenwellenversteller Hydraulic camshaft adjuster
Die Erfindung betrifft einen hydraulischen Nockenwellenversteller für eine Nockenwelle einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine.The invention relates to a hydraulic camshaft adjuster for a camshaft of an internal combustion engine.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Ausführungsformen von hydraulischen Nockenwellenverstellern bekannt, die nach dem Flügelzellenprinzip aufgebaut sind. Man spricht in diesem Zusammenhang auch von so genannten Flügelzellenverstellem.Various embodiments of hydraulic camshaft adjusters are known from the prior art, which are constructed according to the vane principle. One speaks in this context of so-called Flügelzellenverstellem.
Mittels eines Nockenwellenverstellers lässt sich eine Phasenlage einer Nockenwelle einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine relativ zu einer die Nockenwelle antreibenden Kurbelwelle der Verbrennungskraftmaschine verändern. Dadurch lassen sich ein Kraftstoffverbrauch und Rohemissionen der Verbrennungskraftmaschine senken sowie eine Leistungs- und Drehmomentcharakteristik der Verbrennungskraftmaschine verbessern.By means of a camshaft adjuster, it is possible to change a phase angle of a camshaft of an internal combustion engine relative to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine driving the camshaft. As a result, a fuel consumption and raw emissions of the internal combustion engine can be lowered and improve a performance and torque characteristics of the internal combustion engine.
Ein Flügelzellenversteller der gattungsgemäßen Art ist beispielsweise aus der Druckschrift DE 10 2004 022 097 A1 bekannt. Der Flügelzellenversteller umfasst dabei einen Außenkörper, der über eine Kurbelwelle antreibbar ist, und einen innen liegend zu dem Außenkörper angeordneten Innenkörper, der mit einer Nockenwelle fest verbindbar ist. Durch eine gesteuerte Zufuhr von Öl aus einem Ölkreislauf einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine zu einzelnen Hydraulik- bzw. Arbeitskammern des Nockenwellenverstellers über in dem Innenkörper ausgebildete Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen und durch einen mit der Ölzufuhr einhergehenden Druckaufbau in den Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen und den Kammern wird der Innenkörper gegenüber dem Außenkörper verstellt und somit die Phasenlage der Nockenwelle relativ zu der Kurbelwelle verändert.A Flügelzellenversteller of the generic type is known for example from the document DE 10 2004 022 097 A1. The Flügelzellenversteller thereby comprises an outer body which is drivable via a crankshaft, and an inner lying to the outer body arranged inner body, which is fixedly connected to a camshaft. By a controlled supply of oil from an oil circuit of an internal combustion engine to individual hydraulic or working chambers of the camshaft adjuster formed in the inner body Ölzulauf- and oil drain lines and a associated with the oil supply pressure build-up in the oil inlet and oil drain lines and the chambers of the inner body the outer body adjusted and thus changed the phase angle of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft.
Sowohl der Außenkörper als auch der Innenkörper eines solchen Flügelzellenverstellers können bekanntlich sintertechnisch hergestellt werden. Bei der Herstellung von Sinterteilen werden Metallpulver zu Werkstücken bzw. Pressungen, auch Grünlinge genannt, ver- presst und die Werkstücke anschließend gesintert. Beim Sintern erhalten die Werktücke ihre endgültige Festigkeit, indem die Metallpulver beim Durchlaufen eines Sinterofens durch Diffusions- und Rekristallisationsvorgänge ein zusammenhängendes Kristallgefüge bilden. Ein beim Verpressen der Metallpulver erlangtes Höhenmaß der Werkstücke kann dabei von einem gewünschten Höhenmaß abweichen. Diese Abweichungen sind einerseits durch Ungenauigkeiten bedingt, die einer Befüllung einer Pressform einer Pressvorrichtung anhaften und andererseits durch Elastizitäten und / oder Reibungsverhältnisse der Pressvorrichtung, die einer zeitlichen Änderung unterliegen.Both the outer body and the inner body of such a Flügelzellenverstellers can be known sintered technology. In the production of sintered parts, metal powders are pressed into workpieces or pressings, also known as green compacts, and the workpieces are subsequently sintered. During sintering, the workpieces are given their final strength by the metal powders forming a coherent crystal structure as they pass through a sintering furnace through diffusion and recrystallization processes. A height dimension of the workpieces obtained during pressing of the metal powder can deviate from a desired height dimension. These deviations are caused on the one hand by inaccuracies which adhere to a filling of a press mold of a pressing device and on the other hand by elasticities and / or friction conditions of the pressing device, which are subject to a temporal change.
In den sintertechnisch hergestellten Innenkörper werden schließlich die zuvor beschriebenen ölzulauf- und ölablaufleitungen gebohrt, die sich von einer Mantelinnenseite zu einer Mantelaußenseite des Innenkörpers bis zu den zugeordneten Hydraulikkammern erstre- cken. Diese Bohrungen werden schließlich auch entgratet.Finally, the previously described oil feed and oil drain lines, which extend from an inner shell side to a casing outer side of the inner body up to the associated hydraulic chambers, are drilled in the sintered inner body. These holes are finally deburred.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die daher Aufgabe zugrunde, einen hydraulischen No- ckenwellenversteller in Form eines Flügelzellenverstelier bereit zu stellen, der sintertechnisch einfacher herstellbar ist.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a hydraulic camshaft adjuster in the form of a vane cell converter, which is easier to manufacture in terms of sintering technology.

Die in den Unteransprüchen angegebenen Merkmale sind Gegenstand von bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Lösung. In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung werden ferner weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale angegeben, die Gegenstand weiterer Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Lösung sein können. Diese weiteren Merkmale können dabei untereinander und / oder mit den Merkmalen der Anspruchsfassung kombiniert werden.This object is achieved with a hydraulic camshaft adjuster with the features of claim 1.

These further features can be combined with each other and / or with the features of the claim statement.
Es wird ein hydraulischer Nockenwellenversteller für eine Nockenwelle einer Verbren- nungskraftmaschine vorgeschlagen, der in der Art eines Flügelzellenverstellers ausgebildet ist. Der Nockenwellenversteller umfasst einen mittels einer Kurbelwelle der Verbrennungskraftmaschine antreibbaren Außenkörper mit zumindest einer Hydraulikkammer, und einen vorzugsweise koaxial innen liegend zum Außenkörper angeordneten Innenkörper, der mit der Nockenwelle fest verbindbar ist. Unter einer festen Verbindung ist dabei eine formschlüssige und / oder kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen dem Innenkörper und der Nockenwelle zu verstehen.A hydraulic camshaft adjuster for a camshaft of an internal combustion engine is proposed, which is designed in the manner of a vane-type adjuster. The camshaft adjuster includes an externally drivable by means of a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine outer body with at least one hydraulic chamber, and a preferably coaxially disposed inside the inner body to the inner body, which is firmly connected to the camshaft. Under a fixed connection is a positive and / or non-positive connection between the inner body and the camshaft to understand.
Der Innenkörper umfasst mindestens einen Schwenkflügel, der sich in radialer Richtung in die Hydraulikkammer erstreckt und dabei die Hydraulikkammer in eine erste Arbeitskam- mer und eine zweite Arbeitskammer unterteilt. Der Innenkörper umfasst ferner zumindest eine Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitung, die sich von einer Mantelinnenseite bis zu einer Mantelaußenseite des Innenkörpers und bis zu einer der beiden Arbeitskammern erstreckt, wobei unter Erzeugung eines gesteuerten hydraulischen Druckes in der Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitung und in einer der Arbeitskammern der Innenkörper gegenüber dem Außen- körper zur Verstellung der Nockenwelle verschwenkbar ist.The inner body comprises at least one pivoting wing, which extends in the radial direction into the hydraulic chamber and thereby divides the hydraulic chamber into a first working chamber and a second working chamber. The inner body further comprises at least an oil inlet and outlet line extending from an inside of the shell to a shell outside of the inner body and up to one of the two working chambers, the inner body being exposed to the outside to produce a controlled hydraulic pressure in the oil inlet and outlet conduit and in one of the working chambers. body is pivotable for adjusting the camshaft.
Der Innenkörper ist ferner zumindest aus einem ersten Element und einem zweiten Element zusammengefügt, wobei die beiden Elemente an einander zugewandten Stirnseiten jeweils mindestens eine Geometrie aufweisen, die zusammen mit dem jeweils anderen Element die Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitung des Innenteils bildet. In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Elemente über den Umfang eine im wesentliche radiale Erstreckung aufweisen. Erfindungsgemäß ist auch vorgesehen, dass die beiden Elemente über den Umfang eine im wesentliche axiale Erstreckung aufweisen.The inner body is further joined together at least from a first element and a second element, wherein the two elements each have at least one geometry on mutually facing end sides, which together with the respective other element forms the oil inlet and oil drain line of the inner part. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the two elements have a substantially radial extent over the circumference.

Unter einer Geometrie ist dabei eine sich von der Mantelinnenseite bis zu der Mantelaußenseite des Innenkörpers erstreckende Ausnehmung in dem jeweiligen Element zu verstehen, die das Element in dessen Längsrichtung nicht durchdringt.In this case, a geometry is to be understood as meaning a recess in the respective element which extends from the shell inner side to the outer shell side of the inner body and which does not penetrate the element in its longitudinal direction.
Vorteilhaft an dem vorgeschlagenen Nockenwellenversteller ist, dass die im Zusammen- hang mit der zuvor beschriebenen sintertechnischen Herstellung solcher Innenköper stehende spanende Weiterbearbeitung zur Herstellung der Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitung entfällt. Die spanende Weiterbearbeitung kann dabei auch eine Entgratung der Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitung umfassen. Vielmehr entsteht diese Ölzulauf- und ölablaufleitung durch das Zusammenfügen der beiden Elemente, die zusammen den Innenkörper bilden. Die von den beiden Elementen gebildete Trennfuge schließt dabei hydraulisch dicht ab.An advantage of the proposed camshaft adjuster is that there is no further machining required in connection with the above-described sintering production of such inner bodies in order to produce the oil feed and oil drain line. The further machining can also include a deburring of the oil inlet and outlet line.

Femer sind durch die dünnere Ausgestaltung der beiden Elemente gegenüber einer einteiligen Ausgestaltung des Innenkörpers, die nach dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist, im Hinblick auf ein bei einem Verpressen von Metallpulvern zu so genannten Grünlingen erlangtes Höhenmaß vorteilhafterweise geringere Toleranzen in Längsrichtung des Innenkörpers erreichbar.Furthermore, as a result of the thinner design of the two elements compared with a one-part embodiment of the inner body, which is known from the prior art, advantageously lower tolerances in the longitudinal direction of the inner body can be achieved with regard to a height dimension achieved when pressing metal powders into so-called green bodies.
Vorzugsweise weist der Innenkörper mindestens zwei Schwenkflügel auf, die sich jeweils in eine Hydraulikkammer des Außenkörpers erstrecken.

Die Fig. 1 bis 6 zeigen eine Anordnung 2 eines vorzugsweise einteilig ausgebildeten Außenkörpers 4 und eines mehrteilig ausgebildeten Innenkörpers 6, der vorzugsweise koaxial innen liegend zu dem Außenkörper 4 angeordnet ist. Die Anordnung 2 bildet dabei eine Einheit eines hydraulischen Nockenwellenverstellers in Form eines so genannten Flügelzellenverstellers. Der Außenkörper 4 ist mittels einer Kurbelwelle einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine antreibbar, etwa über einen Zahnradantrieb, wobei auch ein Zahnriemenantrieb oder ein Kettenantrieb möglich ist. Der Innenkörper 6 hingegen ist mit einer Nockenwelle der Verbrennungskraftmaschine fest verbindbar, die in die kreisrunde Ausnehmung 26 einführbar ist. Unter einer festen Verbindung ist dabei eine formschlüssige und / oder kraftschlüssige Verbindung zu verstehen. Der Außenkörper 4 umfasst vor- zugsweise fünf Hydraulikkammern 18, die durch fünf radial nach innen vorspringende Körperabschnitte 20 des Außenkörpers 4 gebildet werden. In die einzelnen Hydraulikkammern 18 erstreckt sich in radialer Richtung ein Schwenkflügel 8 des Innenkörpers 6. Die einzelnen Schwenkflügel 8 unterteilen dabei die einzelnen Hydraulikkammern 18 in eine erste Arbeitskammer 22 und eine zweite Arbeitskammer 24. Ein Antriebsmoment der Kurbelwelle wird mittels des Außenkörpers 4 in den Nockenwellenversteller eingeleitet und über die Arbeitskammern 22, 24 auf den Innenkörper 6 übertragen, der mit der Nockenwelle fest verbunden ist.1 to 6 show an arrangement 2 of a preferably integrally formed outer body 4 and a multi-part inner body 6, which is preferably arranged coaxially inside lying to the outer body 4. The assembly 2 forms a unit of a hydraulic camshaft adjuster in the form of a so-called Flügelzellenverstellers. The outer body 4 is drivable by means of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, such as a gear drive, wherein a toothed belt drive or a chain drive is possible. The inner body 6, however, is firmly connected to a camshaft of the internal combustion engine, which is insertable into the circular recess 26. Under a solid compound is a positive and / or non-positive connection to understand. The outer body 4 comprises Preferably, five hydraulic chambers 18, which are formed by five radially inwardly projecting body portions 20 of the outer body 4. In the individual hydraulic chambers 18, a pivot wing 8 of the inner body 6 extends in the radial direction. The individual swing vanes 8 divide the individual hydraulic chambers 18 into a first working chamber 22 and a second working chamber 24. A drive torque of the crankshaft is transmitted to the camshaft adjuster by means of the outer body 4 introduced and transmitted via the working chambers 22, 24 on the inner body 6, which is fixedly connected to the camshaft.
Der Innenkörper 6 umfasst vorzugsweise zehn Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen 14, 16, die sich jeweils vorzugsweise in radialer Richtung von einer Mantelinnenseite 10 zu einer Mantelaußenseite 12 des Innenkörpers 6 bis zu einer der zehn Arbeitskammern 22, 24 erstrecken, so dass jeder der fünf Hydraulikkammem 18 zwei der zehn Ölzulauf- und ölablaufleitungen 14, 16 zugeordnet sind. Unter Erzeugung eines gesteuerten hydrauli- sehen Druckes in den Leitungen 14 oder 16 und in den zugeordneten Arbeitskammern 22, 24 wird der Innenkörper 6 gegenüber dem Außenkörper 4 zur Verstellung der Nockenwelle in eine Richtung verschwenkt. Eine solche Verschwenkung im Uhrzeigersinn ist in der Fig. 6 mittels Pfeilen veranschaulicht, in der die Leitungen 14 und die zugeordneten Arbeitskammern 22 mit dem gesteuerten hydraulischen Druck beaufschlagt sind. Die Lei- tungen 14 fungieren in dieser Veranschaulichung als Ölzulaufleitungen, während die Leitungen 16 als Ölablaufleitungen fungieren. Die in der Fig. 6 dargestellten Pfeile veranschaulichen ferner die Strömungsrichtung des Öls. Unter Erzeugung eines gesteuerten hydraulischen Druckes in den jeweils benachbarten Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen 16 und in den zugeordneten Arbeitskammern 24 wird der Innenkörper 6 gegenüber dem Au- ßenkörper 4 zur Verstellung der Nockenwelle in die andere Richtung verschwenkt. Dabei fungieren die Leitungen 16 als ölzulaufleitungen und die Leitungen 14 als ölablaufleitungen.The inner body 6 preferably comprises ten oil inlet and oil drain lines 14, 16, each extending preferably in the radial direction from an inner shell side 10 to a shell outer side 12 of the inner body 6 to one of the ten working chambers 22, 24, so that each of the five Hydraulikkammem 18th two of the ten oil inlet and Ölablaufleitungen 14, 16 are assigned. To generate a controlled hydraulic pressure in the lines 14 or 16 and in the associated working chambers 22, 24, the inner body 6 is pivoted relative to the outer body 4 for adjusting the camshaft in one direction. Such pivoting in the clockwise direction is illustrated in FIG. 6 by means of arrows, in which the lines 14 and the associated working chambers 22 are subjected to the controlled hydraulic pressure. The lines 14 in this illustration act as oil feed lines, while the lines 16 function as oil drain lines. The arrows shown in Fig. 6 further illustrate the flow direction of the oil. By generating a controlled hydraulic pressure in the respectively adjacent oil feed and drain lines 16 and in the associated working chambers 24, the inner body 6 is pivoted relative to the outer body 4 for adjusting the camshaft in the other direction. The lines 16 act as oil supply lines and the lines 14 as oil drain lines.
Die einzelnen Hydraulikkammern 18 sind entsprechend der von den Flügeln 8 beschrie- benen Kreisbewegung konkav ausgestaltet, so dass über die Schwenkflügel 8 eine Schwenkbewegung des Innenkörpers 6 relativ zu dem Außenkörper 4 eingeleitet werden kann. Beim Antreiben des Außenkörpers 4 durch die Kurbelwelle werden die Schwenkflügel 8, die in den einzelnen Aufnahmen 36 beweglich geführt sind, bedingt durch die Wirkung einer Fliehkraft an den Außenkörper 4 angepresst, wobei die einzelnen Arbeits- kammern 22, 24 gegen einander abgedichtet werden. Die dem Außenkörper 4 zugewandten Schwenkflügelseiten 8a sind vorzugsweise plan ausgebildet, so dass die Abdichtung der Arbeitskammern 22, 24 über eine Pressung der jeweiligen Längskanten der Schwenkflügelseiten 8a erfolgt. Alternativ dazu können die Schwenkflügelseiten 8a auch konvex ausgestaltet sein. Ferner kann an den einzelnenThe individual hydraulic chambers 18 are designed to be concave in accordance with the circular movement described by the vanes 8, so that a pivoting movement of the inner body 6 relative to the outer body 4 can be initiated via the pivot vanes 8. When the outer body 4 is driven by the crankshaft, the pivoting vanes 8, which are movably guided in the individual receptacles 36, are pressed against the outer body 4 by the action of a centrifugal force, the individual working chambers 22, 24 being sealed against one another. The outer wing 4 facing pivot wing sides 8a are preferably flat, so that the sealing of the working chambers 22, 24 via a pressure of the respective longitudinal edges of the swing wing sides 8a takes place. Alternatively, the swing wing sides 8a may also be designed convex. Furthermore, to the individual
Schwenkflügelseiten 8a unabhängig von deren planer oder konvexer Ausgestaltung auch eine Dichtleiste in einer dafür vorgesehenen Nut angeordnet sein. Eine entsprechendeSchwenkflügelseiten 8a regardless of their planner or convex design and a sealing strip in a groove provided therefor. A corresponding
Dichtleiste kann auch an den einzelnen radialen Vorsprüngen 21 des Außenkörpers 4 in einer dafür vorgesehenen Nut angeordnet sein, so dass auch die einzelnen Hydraulik- kammern 18 gegen einander abgedichtet werden.Sealing strip can also be arranged on the individual radial projections 21 of the outer body 4 in a groove provided for this purpose, so that the individual hydraulic chambers 18 are sealed against each other.
Nach einer alternativen - in den Figuren nicht dargestellten - Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in den einzelnen Hydraulikkammern in einer von zwei Arbeitskammern eine Feder zwischen dem Außenkörper und dem zugeordneten Schwenkflügel angeordnet, die in Bezug auf eine Verschwenkung des Innenkörpers rückstellend wirkt.According to an alternative - not shown in the figures - embodiment of the invention, a spring between the outer body and the associated pivoting wing is arranged in the individual hydraulic chambers in one of two working chambers, which acts with respect to a pivoting of the inner body restoring.
Der Innenkörper 6, der in den Fig. 7 bis 9, 12 und 13 veranschaulicht ist, ist vorzugsweise aus einem ersten Element 28 und einem zweiten Element 30 zusammengefügt, die einen im wesentlichen hohlzylinderförmigen Kern beschreiben. Die Fig. 7 bis 9 veranschauli- chen dabei eine erste Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6, während die Fig. 12 und 13 eine zweite Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6 veranschaulichen. Sowohl der Außenkörper 4 als auch die beiden zusammengefügten Elemente 28, 30 sind vorzugsweise als Sinterteile ausgebildet. Die beiden Elemente 28, 30 weisen an einander zugewandten Stirnseiten 38, 40 jeweils fünf Geometrien 39, 41 , 50, 52 auf, die im zusammen mit dem jeweils anderen Element 28, 30 die Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen 14, 16 des Innenkörpers 6 bilden. In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Elemente 28, 30 über den Umfang eine im wesentliche radiale Erstreckung aufweisen. Erfindungsgemäß ist auch vorgesehen, dass die beiden Elemente 28, 30 über den Umfang eine im wesentliche axiale Erstreckung aufweisen.The inner body 6 illustrated in Figs. 7-9, 12 and 13 is preferably assembled from a first element 28 and a second element 30 which describe a substantially hollow cylindrical core. FIGS. 7 to 9 illustrate a first embodiment of the inner body 6, while FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate a second embodiment of the inner body 6. Both the outer body 4 and the two joined elements 28, 30 are preferably formed as sintered parts. The two elements 28, 30 have on facing end faces 38, 40 in each case five geometries 39, 41, 50, 52, which together with the respective other element 28, 30 form the oil inlet and oil drain lines 14, 16 of the inner body 6. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the two elements 28, 30 have a substantially radial extent over the circumference. According to the invention it is also provided that the two elements 28, 30 have a substantially axial extent over the circumference.
Unter einer Geometrie 39, 41 , 50, 52 ist dabei eine sich von der Mantelinnenseite 10 bis zu der Mantelaußenseite 12 des Innenkörpers 6 erstreckende Ausnehmung in dem jeweiligen Element 28, 30 zu verstehen, die das Element 28, 30 in dessen Längsrichtung nicht durchdringt. Die Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen 14, 16 weisen dabei vorzugsweise eine viereckige Querschnittsform auf, die bei der ersten Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6 in Bezug auf ihre Abmessungen veränderlich ist und sich in radialer Richtung von der Mantelinnenseite 10 ausgehend zunächst vergrößert und dann bis zu der Mantelaußenseite 12 ver- kleinert. Zudem weisen die Geometrien 39, 41 jeweils eine Krümmung 39a, 41a auf, die jedoch in Bezug auf die Funktionsweise des Flügelzellenverstellers ohne Bedeutung sind. Vielmehr ist eine derartige Ausgestaltung der beiden Elemente 28, 30 in einer Gestaltung eines Presswerkzeugs begründet, die eine Verstärkung des Presswerkzeugs bezweckt. Die viereckige Querschnittsform der zweite Ausführungsform hingegen ist in Bezug auf ihre Abmessungen durchgängig konstant.In this case, a geometry 39, 41, 50, 52 means a recess in the respective element 28, 30 extending from the shell inner side 10 to the outer shell 12 of the inner body 6, which does not penetrate the element 28, 30 in its longitudinal direction. The oil inlet and outlet lines 14, 16 preferably have a quadrangular cross-sectional shape, which is variable in terms of their dimensions in the first embodiment of the inner body 6 and initially increases in the radial direction from the inner shell side 10 and then up to the outer shell side 12th reduced. In addition, the geometries 39, 41 each have a curvature 39a, 41a, which, however, are irrelevant with regard to the mode of operation of the vane cell adjuster. Rather, such a configuration of the two elements 28, 30 is based in a design of a pressing tool, which aims to reinforce the pressing tool. The quadrangular cross-sectional shape of the second embodiment, however, is consistently constant with respect to its dimensions.
Bei der ersten Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6 (Fig. 1 bis 11) umfasst das Element 28 stirnseitig bzw. an der dem Element 30 zugewandten Stirnseiten 40 fünf Vorsprünge 34, die jeweils in der Art einer Klaue ausgestaltet sind und die jeweils in eine korrespon- dierende Ausnehmung 32 des Elements 30 formschlüssig eingreifen. Die Vorsprünge 34 bilden dabei mit den zugeordneten Ausnehmungen 32 je eine Presspassung. Die von den beiden Elementen 28, 30 gebildete Trennfuge schließt ferner hydraulisch dicht ab.In the first embodiment of the inner body 6 (FIGS. 1 to 11), the element 28 comprises, on the front side or on the end faces 40 facing the element 30, five projections 34 which are each designed in the manner of a claw and which respectively correspond to one another Recess 32 of the element 30 engage positively. The projections 34 in each case form an interference fit with the associated recesses 32. The parting line formed by the two elements 28, 30 also closes hydraulically tight.
Die einzelnen vorzugsweise einteilig ausgebildeten Schwenkflügel 8 sind an der Mantel- außenseite 12 in den Innenkörper 6 eingesetzt. Dabei sind an der Mantelaußenseite 29 des Elements 28 fünf vorzugsweise in der Art eines Schlitzes ausgebildete Aufnahmen 36 für die Schwenkflügel 8 vorgesehen, die jeweils an einem der Vorsprünge 34 ausgebildet sind. Die Aufnahmeschlitze 36 sind dabei vorzugsweise zu der Längsrichtung des Innenkörpers (6) ausgerichtet.The individual preferably integrally formed pivoting vanes 8 are inserted into the inner body 6 on the outer side 12 of the casing. In this case, five preferably designed in the manner of a slot receptacles 36 are provided for the swing vanes 8, which are each formed on one of the projections 34 on the outer shell side 29 of the element 28. The receiving slots 36 are preferably aligned to the longitudinal direction of the inner body (6).
Bei der zweiten Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6 (Fig. 12 bis 15) umfasst das Element 28 stirnseitig bzw. an der dem Element 30 zugewandten Stirnseite 40 fünf Vorsprünge 42 und fünf Vorsprünge 44, die jeweils in der Art eines Steges bzw. einer Passfeder ausgestaltet sind und die jeweils in eine korrespondierende Ausnehmung bzw. Nut 46, 48 des Elements 30 formschlüssig eingreifen. Die einzelnen Stege 42, 44 und Ausnehmungen 46, 48 erstrecken sich dabei in radialer Richtung des Innenkörpers 6. Analog zu der ersten Ausführungsform bilden die Vorsprünge 42, 44 dabei mit den zugeordneten Ausnehmungen 46, 48 je eine Presspassung. Die von den beiden Elementen 28, 30 gebildete Trennfuge schließt dabei ebenfalls hydraulisch dicht ab. Ferner umfassen die bei- den Elemente 28, 30 jeweils stirnseitig fünf Nuten 50, die sich jeweils von einer zugeord- neten Mantelinnenseite 33, 35 bis zu einer zugeordneten Mantelaußenseite 29, 31 erstrecken und im zusammengefügten Zustand der beiden Elemente 28, 30 eine viereckige Querschnittsform bilden, die in Bezug auf ihre Abmessungen im Unterschied zu der ersten Ausführungsform unveränderlich ist.In the second embodiment of the inner body 6 (FIGS. 12 to 15), the element 28 comprises, on the front side or on the end face 40 facing the element 30, five projections 42 and five projections 44 which are each designed in the manner of a web or a feather key and which respectively engage in a corresponding recess or groove 46, 48 of the element 30 positively. The individual webs 42, 44 and recesses 46, 48 extend in the radial direction of the inner body 6. Analogous to the first embodiment, the projections 42, 44 in each case with the associated recesses 46, 48 each have a press fit. The parting line formed by the two elements 28, 30 also closes hydraulically tight. Furthermore, the two elements 28, 30 each comprise, on the front side, five grooves 50, each of which is assigned to one of them. Neten casing inside 33, 35 extend to an associated outer shell side 29, 31 and in the assembled state of the two elements 28, 30 form a quadrangular cross-sectional shape, which is invariable in terms of their dimensions in contrast to the first embodiment.
Ferner sind im Unterschied zu der ersten Ausführungsform die einzelnen Schlitzaufnahmen 36 zweigeteilt ausgeführt. Dabei sind an der Mantelaußenseite 29 des Elements 28 fünf Aufnahmen 36a vorgesehen, während an der Mantelaußenseite 31 des Elements 30 fünf Aufnahmen 36b vorgesehen sind, die mit den Aufnahmen 36a bündig abschließen.Furthermore, in contrast to the first embodiment, the individual slot receptacles 36 are designed in two parts. In this case, five receptacles 36a are provided on the outer shell side 29 of the element 28, while on the outer shell side 31 of the element 30 five receptacles 36b are provided, which terminate flush with the receptacles 36a.
Die Fig. 16 und 17 veranschaulichen eine nach dem Stand der Technik bekannte Ausführungsform eines einteilig ausgebildeten Innenkörpers 6, der sintertechnisch aus einer Metallpulvermischung hergestellt ist. Die Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen 14, 16 sind im An- schluss an einen Sintervorgang in den Innenkörper 6 hineingebohrt worden. Die Bohrun- gen 54, 56, 58 sind für so genannte federbelastete und hydraulisch entriegelbare Verriegelungspins vorgesehen, die in die Bohrungen 54, 56, 58 eingreifen, um eine ungewollte Verschwenkung des Innenkörpers 6 relativ zu einem nicht dargestellten Außenkörper zu verhindern.Figures 16 and 17 illustrate a prior art embodiment of a one-piece inner body 6 sintered from a metal powder mixture. The oil inlet and outlet lines 14, 16 have been drilled into the inner body 6 following a sintering process. The bores 54, 56, 58 are provided for so-called spring-loaded and hydraulically unlockable locking pins, which engage in the bores 54, 56, 58 in order to prevent unwanted pivoting of the inner body 6 relative to an outer body, not shown.
Vorteilhaft an der vorgeschlagenen mindestens zweiteiligen Ausbildung des Innenkörpers 6 ist, dass die im Zusammenhang mit der sintertechnischen Herstellung solcher Innenköper stehende spanende Weiterberarbeitung - diese umfasst auch eine Entgratung der Bohrungen - zur Herstellung der Ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen entfällt. Vielmehr entstehen diese ölzulauf- und Ölablaufleitungen durch das Zusammenfügen der beiden EIe- mente 28, 30, die zusammen den Innenkörper 6 bilden.An advantage of the proposed at least two-part design of the inner body 6, that in connection with the sintering production of such Innenköper standing spanende further processing - this includes a deburring of the holes - for the production of Ölzulauf- and oil drain lines deleted. On the contrary, these oil inlet and outlet lines are created by the joining together of the two elements 28, 30, which together form the inner body 6.
Ferner sind durch die dünnere Ausgestaltung der beiden Elemente 28, 29b, 30 gegenüber einer einteiligen Ausgestaltung des Innenkörpers (Fig. 16 und 17) im Hinblick auf ein bei einem Verpressen von Metallpulvern zu so genannten Grünlingen erlangtes Höhenmaß vorteilhafterweise geringere Toleranzen in Längsrichtung des Innenkörpers 28, 29b, 30 erreichbar.Furthermore, as a result of the thinner design of the two elements 28, 29b, 30 relative to a one-piece embodiment of the inner body (FIGS. 16 and 17), lower tolerances in the longitudinal direction of the inner body 28 are advantageously achieved with regard to a height dimension achieved when pressing metal powders into so-called green bodies , 29b, 30 reachable.
Die Fig. 18 veranschaulicht eine dritte Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6, bei der die beiden zusammengefügten Elemente 29b - eines davon ist in der Fig. 19 veranschaulicht - identisch ausgebildet sind und jeweils vorzugsweise fünf sich von der Mantelinnenseite 10 bis zu der Mantelaußenseite 12 des Innenkörpers 6 erstreckende Vorsprünge 64 aufweisen, die zur Verbindung der beiden Elemente 29b in eine korrespondierende Ausnehmung 62 des jeweils anderen Elements 29b formschlüssig eingreifen und dabei mit den zugeordneten Ausnehmungen 62 eine Presspassung bilden. Dabei bilden die Vorsprünge 64 zusammen mit den zugeordneten Ausnehmungen 62 jeweils eine ölzulauf- und Ölab- laufleitung 14, 16 des Innenteils 6.Fig. 18 illustrates a third embodiment of the inner body 6, in which the two assembled elements 29b - one of which is illustrated in Fig. 19 - are formed identically, and each preferably five from the shell inside 10 to the outer shell side 12 of the inner body 6 extending projections 64 which engage positively for connection of the two elements 29b in a corresponding recess 62 of the other element 29b and thereby form an interference fit with the associated recesses 62. In this case, the projections 64, together with the associated recesses 62, respectively form an oil inlet and oil discharge line 14, 16 of the inner part 6.
Vorteilhaft an dieser Ausgestaltung ist, dass im Zusammenhang mit der zuvor beschriebenen sintertechnischen Herstellung solcher Innenköper lediglich ein Presswerkzeug be- nötigt wird, um Werkstücke gleicher Ausgestaltung herzustellen.An advantage of this embodiment is that, in connection with the above-described sintered production of such internal bodies only a pressing tool is required to produce workpieces of the same configuration.
Die Fig. 20 veranschaulicht eine vierte Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6, nach der ebenfalls die beiden zusammengefügten Elemente 29b identisch ausgebildet sind. Die Fig. 21 veranschaulicht dabei eines der beiden Elemente 29b. Aber im Unterschied zu der dritten Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6 sind anstelle der schlitzartigen Aufnahmen 36a, 36b der jeweiligen Elemente 29b jeweils einteilig mit dem Hohlzylinderkern des jeweiligen Elementes 29b ausgebildete Schwenkflügel 8 vorgesehen (Fig. 21). Zwischen jeweils einem der Vorsprünge 64 und einer der Ausnehmungen 62 erstreckt sich dabei einer der Schwenkflügel 8 in radialer Richtung von dem Hohlzylinderkern des Innenkör- pers 6 nach außen. Die Vorsprünge 64 und Ausnehmungen 62 sind dabei analog zu der dritten Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6 (Fig. 18 und 19) ausgestaltet.Fig. 20 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the inner body 6, after which also the two joined elements 29b are formed identically. FIG. 21 illustrates one of the two elements 29b. However, unlike the third embodiment of the inner body 6, instead of the slit-like receivers 36a, 36b of the respective elements 29b, swing vanes 8 formed integrally with the hollow cylindrical core of the respective element 29b are provided (FIG. 21). In this case, between one of the projections 64 and one of the recesses 62, one of the pivoting vanes 8 extends radially outward from the hollow cylindrical core of the inner body 6. The projections 64 and recesses 62 are configured analogously to the third embodiment of the inner body 6 (FIGS. 18 and 19).
Analog zu der vierten Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6 (Fig. 20) können auch die unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 7 bis 15 beschriebenen Ausführungsformen - das sind die erste und die zweite Ausführungsform des Innenkörpers 6 - alternativ anstelle der schlitzartigen Aufnahmen 36, 36a, 36b mit jeweils einteilig mit dem Hohlzylinderkern des jeweiligen Innenkörpers 6 ausgebildeten Schwenkflügeln versehen sein.Analogous to the fourth embodiment of the inner body 6 (FIG. 20), the embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 15-that is, the first and the second embodiment of the inner body 6-can alternatively be used instead of the slot-like receptacles 36, 36a, 36b be provided with one piece formed with the hollow cylindrical core of the respective inner body 6 pivoting wings.
In der Fig. 22 ist eine alternative Anordnung 2 eines vorzugsweise einteilig ausgebildeten Außenkörpers 4 und eines vorzugsweise zweiteilig ausgebildeten Innenkörpers 6 dargestellt, der vorzugsweise koaxial innen liegend zu dem Außenkörper 4 angeordnet ist. Die Anordnung 2 bildet dabei vorzugsweise vier Hydraulikkammern 18, in die sich jeweils ein Schwenkflügel 8 des Innenkörpers 6 erstreckt. Die einzelnen Schwenkflügel 8 sind dabei vorzugsweise einteilig mit dem Hohlzylinderkern des Innenkörpers 6 ausgebildet. Zwi- sehen den einzelnen Schwenkflügeln 8 und dem Außenkörper 4 ist ein Planetenrad 68a angeordnet, das in eine Tasche 70a eingesetzt ist, die an dem Schwenkflügel 8 ausgebildet ist. An den jeweiligen den einzelnen Planetenrädern 68a zugeordneten Körperabschnitten des Außenkörpers 4 ist dabei ein zu dem Planetenrad 68a korrespondierendes Zahnradsegment 66 ausgebildet, das mit dem Planetenrad 68a zusammen wirkt. Die ein- zelnen Planetenräder 68a dichten dabei die Arbeitskammern 22, 24 gegeneinander hydraulisch ab.FIG. 22 shows an alternative arrangement 2 of a preferably integrally formed outer body 4 and a preferably two-part inner body 6, which is preferably arranged coaxially inwardly to the outer body 4. The arrangement 2 preferably forms four hydraulic chambers 18, in each of which a pivoting wing 8 of the inner body 6 extends. The individual pivoting vanes 8 are preferably formed integrally with the hollow cylindrical core of the inner body 6. Zwi see the individual swing wings 8 and the outer body 4 is a planetary gear 68 a arranged, which is inserted into a pocket 70 a, which is formed on the pivoting wing 8. In this case, a corresponding to the planetary gear 68a gear segment 66 is formed at the respective individual planetary gears 68a associated body portions of the outer body 4, which cooperates with the planetary gear 68a. The individual planet gears 68a thereby seal the working chambers 22, 24 from each other hydraulically.
Ferner ist zu beiden Seiten der jeweiligen Hydraulikkammern 18 zwischen dem hohlzylin- derförmigen Kern des Innenkörpers 6 und dem Außenkörper 4 ein Planetenrad 68b ange- ordnet. Die einzelnen Planetenräder 68b sind dabei in eine Tasche 70b eingesetzt, die an dem jeweiligen radial nach innen vorspringenden Körperabschnitt 20 des Außenkörpers 4 ausgebildet ist. Zu beiden Seiten der jeweiligen Hydraulikkammern 18 ist dabei ferner an dem hohlzylinderförmigen Kern des Innenkörpers 6 ein Zahnradsegment 72 ausgebildet, das entsprechend des zugeordneten Planetenrades 68b ausgebildet ist und mit diesem zusammen wirkt. Die einzelnen Planetenräder 68b dichten dabei jeweils zwei benachbarte Hydraulikkammern 18 gegeneinander hydraulisch ab.Furthermore, a planetary gear 68b is arranged on both sides of the respective hydraulic chambers 18 between the hollow cylindrical core of the inner body 6 and the outer body 4. The individual planet gears 68b are inserted into a pocket 70b which is formed on the respective radially inwardly projecting body portion 20 of the outer body 4. On both sides of the respective hydraulic chambers 18, a gear segment 72 is further formed on the hollow cylindrical core of the inner body 6, which is formed according to the associated planetary gear 68b and cooperates with this. The individual planet gears 68b each seal two adjacent hydraulic chambers 18 against each other hydraulically.
Bezüglich der beiden zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsformen wird zu näheren Einzelheiten auf die bereits eingangs genannte Druckschrift DE 10 2004 047 817 B3 verwiesen, aus der eine solche Ausgestaltung eines hydraulischen Nockenwellenverstellers in Form eines Flügelstellenverstellers bekannt ist und die hiermit vollumfänglich zum Offenbarungsgehalt der Erfindung gemacht wird.
