Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde einen Volumenspeicher zu schaffen, wobei dessen Herstellungsaufwand reduziert werden soll.The invention has for its object to provide a volume storage, the production cost is to be reduced.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass an dem Führungsgehäuse zumindest eine Einbuchtung ausgebildet ist, die in das Führungsgehäuse hineinragt, wobei die Einbuchtung in Richtung des Federelements ein offenes Ende aufweist, an dem das Federelement anliegt.The object is achieved in that at least one indentation is formed on the guide housing, which projects into the guide housing, wherein the indentation in the direction of the spring element has an open end against which abuts the spring element.
Der Volumenspeicher weist ein Trennelement, beispielsweise einen Kolben, auf das innerhalb eines Führungsgehäuses verschiebbar gelagert ist und einen Vorratsraum von einem Komplementärraum trennt. Durch Druckmittelbeaufschlagung des Trennelements wird dieses innerhalb des Führungsgehäuses gegen ein Federelement in Richtung eines Anschlags verschoben, der den Verschiebweg des Trennelements dadurch begrenzt, dass dieses an dem Anschlag zur Anlage kommt. In Verschieberichtung des Trennelements hinter dem Anschlag ist ein Federlager vorgesehen, wobei sich das Federelement einerseits an dem Federlager und andererseits an dem Trennelement abstützt. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass das Federlager aus dem Material des Führungsgehäuses ausgebildet wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist ein Schlitz in dem beispielsweise hohlzylindrisch ausgebildeten Führungsgehäuse vorgesehen, der entlang einer nicht in sich geschlossenen Linie verläuft. Dabei verläuft der Schlitz zumindest bereichsweise in einer Ebene senkrecht zu der Verschiebrichtung des Kolbens. Der Schlitz kann beispielsweise durch Stanzen oder Feinschneiden in das Führungsgehäuse eingebracht werden. Im Bereich des Schlitzes ist an dem Führungsgehäuse eine Einbuchtung vorgesehen, die in das Innere des Führungsgehäuses hineinragt. Dabei steht ein durch den Schlitz erzeugtes offenes Ende der Einbuchtung dem Ende des Federelements gegenüber und dient diesem als Federlager. Denkbar sind Ausführungsformen mit einer oder mehrerer in Umfangsrichtung beabstandeter Einbuchtungen. Unter dem offenen Ende ist der Bereich zu verstehen, der vor dem Einbringen des Schlitzes in das Führungsgehäuse mit diesem verbunden war.
In dieser Ausführungsform ist das Federlager einteilig mit dem Führungsgehäuse ausgebildet, so dass keine zusätzlichen Bauteile benötigt werden, die mit dem Führungsgehäuse verbunden werden müssen. Das Einbringen der Einbuchtung kann kostengünstig realisiert werden.
Die Einbuchtung kann eine Vielzahl von Formen annehmen. Denkbar sind beispielsweise Ausführungsformen, in denen ein Schlitz in das Führungsgehäuse eingebracht wird, welcher komplett in einer Ebene senkrecht zu der Verschieberichtung des Kolbens angeordnet ist. Anschließend wird die Einbuchtung im Bereich des Schlitzes in das Führungsgehäuse eingebracht.
Ebenso denkbar sind Ausführungsformen, in denen die Einbuchtung als Lasche ausgebildet ist. Dabei wird ein von einer geraden Linie abweichender Schlitz in das Führungsgehäuse eingebracht, der eine mit dem Führungsgehäuse verbundene Lasche ausbildet. Diese kann beispielsweise dreieckig oder viereckig und gegebenenfalls entsprechend der Form des Führungsgehäuses gewölbt ausgebildet sein und ragt in das Führungsgehäuse hinein.The volume accumulator has a separating element, for example a piston, on which is displaceably mounted within a guide housing and separates a storage space from a complementary space. By applying pressure medium of the separating element, this is displaced within the guide housing against a spring element in the direction of a stop, which limits the displacement path of the separating element in that this comes to rest against the stop. In the direction of displacement of the separating element behind the stop a spring bearing is provided, wherein the spring element is supported on the one hand on the spring bearing and on the other hand on the separating element. It is provided that the spring bearing is formed from the material of the guide housing. For this purpose, a slot is provided in the example, hollow cylindrical guide housing, which runs along a non-self-contained line. The slot extends at least partially in a plane perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the piston. The slot can be introduced, for example, by punching or fine cutting in the guide housing. In the area of the slot is on the guide housing provided a recess which projects into the interior of the guide housing. In this case, an open end of the indentation produced by the slot faces the end of the spring element and serves this as a spring bearing. Conceivable are embodiments with one or more circumferentially spaced indentations. By the open end is meant the area which was connected to the guide housing prior to the insertion of the slot.
In this embodiment, the spring bearing is formed integrally with the guide housing, so that no additional components are required, which must be connected to the guide housing. The introduction of the indentation can be realized inexpensively.
The indentation can take a variety of forms. Conceivable, for example, embodiments in which a slot is introduced into the guide housing, which is arranged completely in a plane perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the piston. Subsequently, the indentation is introduced in the region of the slot in the guide housing.
Likewise conceivable are embodiments in which the indentation is designed as a tab. In this case, a deviating from a straight line slot is introduced into the guide housing, which forms a connected to the guide housing tab. This can for example be triangular or square and optionally arched according to the shape of the guide housing and protrudes into the guide housing.
Das Trennelement kann beispielsweise als topfförmiger Kolben mit einem Boden und einem sich daran anschließenden Mantelabschnitt ausgebildet sein, wobei das Federelement an dem Boden anliegt. Vorteilhafterweise sind das Führungsgehäuse und der Kolben spanlos aus jeweils einem Blechrohling, beispielsweise mittels eines Tiefziehverfahrens, hergestellt. Der Boden des Kolbens dient als Druckfläche, die von dem einströmenden Druckmittel mit einer Kraft beaufschlagt wird, wodurch der Kolben verschoben wird. Die Mantelfläche dient zur Lagerung des Kolbens in dem Führungsgehäuse, wobei das offene Ende des Mantelabschnitts bei vollständig befülltem Volumenspeicher in Anlage an den Anschlag kommt. Darüber hinaus erfolgt die Abdichtung des Vorratsraums gegenüber dem Komplementärraum über ein eng toleriertes Spiel zwischen dem Mantelabschnitt und der Innenmantelfläche des Führungsgehäuses.The separating element may be formed, for example, as a cup-shaped piston with a bottom and a shell section adjoining thereto, wherein the spring element bears against the bottom. Advantageously, the guide housing and the piston without cutting are each made of a sheet metal blank, for example by means of a deep drawing process. The bottom of the piston serves as a pressure surface, which is acted upon by the inflowing pressure medium with a force, whereby the piston is displaced. The lateral surface serves to support the piston in the guide housing, with the open end of the jacket section coming into contact with the stop when the volume reservoir is completely filled. In addition, the sealing of the Vorratsraums opposite the complementary space on a tight toleranced clearance between the shell portion and the inner circumferential surface of the guide housing.

An einer äußeren Mantelfläche des Antriebselements 14 ist ein Kettenrad 12 ausgebildet, über das mittels eines nicht dargestellten Kettentriebs Drehmoment von der Kurbelwelle 2 auf das Antriebselement 14 übertragen werden kann. Das Abtriebselement 16 ist mittels einer Zentralschraube 13 drehfest mit der Nockenwelle 6,7 verbunden.The

Das Abtriebselement 16 ist in einem definierten Winkelbreich drehbar zu dem Antriebselement 14 angeordnet. Durch Druckmittelzufuhr zu einer Gruppe von Druckkammern 23, 24 und Druckmittelabfuhr von der anderen Gruppe kann die Phasenlage des Antriebselements 14 zum Abtriebselement 16 (und damit die Phasenlage der Nockenwelle 6, 7 zur Kurbelwelle 2) variiert werden. Durch Druckmittelzufuhr zu beiden Gruppen von Druckkammern 23, 24 kann die Phasenlage konstant gehalten werden.The output element 16 is arranged rotatably in a defined Winkelbreich to the
Die Nockenwelle 6, 7 weist im Bereich eines Nockenwellenlagers 32 mehrere Öffnungen 28 auf, über die von einer Druckmittelpumpe 37 gefördertes Druckmittel in deren Inneres gelangt. Innerhalb der Nockenwelle 6, 7 ist ein Druckmittelpfad 29 ausgebildet, der einerseits mit den Öffnungen 28 und andererseits mit einem Steuerventil 27 kommuniziert, das zur Versorgung des Nockenwellenverstellers 11 mit Druckmittel dient. Das Steuerventil 27 ist im Inneren der Zentralschraube 13 angeordnet. Mittels des Steuerventils 27 kann Druckmittel wahlweise zu den ersten oder zweiten Druckkammern 23, 24 geleitet und von den jeweils anderen Druckkammern 23, 24 abgeführt werden.In the region of a
Im Inneren der Zentralschraube 13 ist ein Druckmittelkanal 30 vorgesehen, der einerseits mit dem Druckmittelpfad 29 und andererseits mit einem Hohlraum 31 der hohl ausgebildeten Nockenwelle 6, 7 kommuniziert. Der Druckmittelkanal 30 ist als axiale Bohrung ausgebildet, die den Gewindeabschnitt der Zentralschraube 13 durchgreift.
In dem Hohlraum 31 ist der Volumenspeicher 15 angeordnet. Der Volumenspeicher 15 umfasst ein Führungsgehäuse 33, ein Trennelement 34 und einen Kraftspeicher, der in der dargestellten Ausführungsform als Federelement 35 in Form einer Schraubendruckfeder ausgeführt ist. Das Führungsgehäuse 33 ist kraftschlüssig mit einer Wandung 36 des Hohlraums 31 verbunden. Denkbar sind auch Ausführungsformen, in denen das Führungsgehäuse 33 stoff- oder formschlüssig mit der Wandung 36 verbunden ist.
Im Inneren des Führungsgehäuses 33 ist das Trennelement 34 axial verschiebbar angeordnet, wobei dieses in der dargestellten Ausführungsform als topfförmiger Kolben mit einem Boden 25 und einem Mantelabschnitt 26 ausgemiger Kolben mit einem Boden 25 und einem Mantelabschnitt 26 ausgebildet ist. Mittels des Mantelabschnitts 26 ist das Trennelement 34 axial verschiebbar in dem Führungsgehäuse 33 gelagert. Die Außenmantelfläche des Trennelements 34 ist der Innenmantelfläche des Führungsgehäuses 33 derart angepasst, dass das Führungsgehäuse 33 druckmitteldicht in einen Vorratsraum 45 axial vor und einen Komplementärraum 46 hinter dem Boden 25 des Trennelements 34 getrennt wird.
Das Federelement 35 stützt sich einerseits an einem Federlager 39 (

Der Verschiebeweg des Trennelements 34 wird in Richtung des Druckmittelkanals 30 durch einen ringförmigen, radial nach innen verlaufenden Abschnitt des Führungsgehäuses 33 begrenzt, der eine Gehäuseöffnung 38 umgreift, durch die dem Volumenspeicher 15 Druckmittel zugeführt werden kann. In Richtung des Federlagers 39 wird der Verschiebeweg des Trennelements 34 durch einen Anschlag begrenzt. Der Anschlag ist zwischen den axialen Enden des Führungsgehäuses 33 in Form von drei Einbuchtungen 41 ausgeführt, die einteilig mit dem Führungsgehäuse 33 ausgebildet sind und in dieses hinein ragen (
Jede Einbuchtung 41 ragt derart in das Führungsgehäuse 33 hinein, dass deren offenes Ende dem offenen Ende des Mantelabschnitts 26 des Trennelements 34 in dessen Verschieberichtung gegenübersteht. Somit dienen diese offenen Enden der Einbuchtungen 41 dem Trennelement 34 als Anschlag. Darüber hinaus weist jede Einbuchtung 41 einen Führungsabschnitt 43 auf, der sich in axialer Richtung erstreckt und parallel zu der Achse des Federelements 35 verläuft. Dabei ist der Durchmesser des Federelements 35 so gewählt, dass dieses im komprimierten Zustand an den Führungsabschnitten 43 anliegt. Somit erfährt das Federelement 35 durch die Führungsabschnitte 43 eine Lagerung, wodurch die radiale Position des Federelements 35 festgelegt wird. Die Länge L des Führungsabschnitts 43 ist größer als der Abstand zweier Federwindungen im entspannten Zustand. Somit ist sichergestellt, dass auf Grund der Lagerung des Federelements 35 an den Führungsabschnitten 43 das Federelement 35 an dem Anschlag der Einbuchtung 41 nicht verkantet oder klemmt.The displacement of the separating

In der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind das Führungsgehäuse 33 und das Trennelement 34 als Blechteile ausgebildet, die beispielsweise durch ein spanloses Herstellungsverfahren, beispielsweise einem Tiefziehverfahren, hergestellt sind. Dies hat neben geringen Herstellungskosten den Vorteil, dass die Lagerflächen des Mantelabschnitts 26 und des Führungsgehäuses 33 durch diesen Formgebungsprozess so präzise herstellbar sind, dass diese nicht nachbearbeitet werden müssen.In the illustrated embodiment, the
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform eines Volumenspeichers 15 beschreibt der erste Schlitz 40 eine gebogene Linie mit zwei Enden, so dass eine Lasche 44 ausgebildet ist, die in das Führungsgehäuse 33 hineinragt. Ein derartiger Volumenspeicher 15 ist in
