Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine verstellbare Nockenwelle mit einer Innenwelle und einer diese koaxial umgebenden Außenwelle und mit einem mit der Innenwelle verstifteten Nocken, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to an adjustable camshaft having an inner shaft and an outer shaft coaxially surrounding it and having a pinned with the inner shaft cam, according to the preamble of
Eine gattungsgemäße Nockenwelle ist aus der
Es ist wünschenswert einen derartigen Mehrfachnocken mit lediglich einem Nockenkörper auszustatten, um eine höhere Variabilität der verstellbaren Nockenwelle zu erreichen. Diese Konfiguration mit nur noch einem verstellbaren Nockenkörper ist eine Ausführungsvariante für spezielle Ventiltriebausführungen - konzeptbasiert für OHC Motoren - z.B. bei einer DOHC (zwei nebeneinanderliegende Nockenwellen; eine für die Auslassventile und die andere für Einlassventile oder gemischt). Die Bauform mit einem Ringbund ist hierbei vorteilhaft, da ein den Nocken fixierender Bolzen vom eigentlichen Nockenkörper beabstandet ist, wodurch z.B. die Gefahr der Verformung durch Bohrung bzw. einen eingepressten Bolzen, reduziert werden kann. Ein derartiger Nocken weist also lediglich einen Nockenkörper und den Ringbund auf. Nachteilig dabei ist, dass der Nocken, insbesondere auf der vom Nockenkörper abgewandten Seite des Ringbundes eine Leckage begünstigen kann, die einen Austritt der unter Druck stehenden Schmierflüssigkeit zur Folge haben kann.It is desirable to provide such a multiple cam with only one cam body in order to achieve a higher variability of the adjustable camshaft. This configuration with only one adjustable cam body is a variant for special valve train designs - concept based for OHC motors - eg for a DOHC (two adjacent camshafts; one for the exhaust valves and the other for intake valves or mixed). The design with an annular collar is advantageous in this case, since a pin fixing the cam is spaced from the actual cam body, as a result of which, for example, the danger of deformation due to a bore or a pressed-in bolt can be reduced. Such a cam thus has only a cam body and the annular collar. The disadvantage here is that the cam, in particular on the side facing away from the cam body side of the annular collar can promote leakage, which can result in leakage of pressurized lubricating fluid result.
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für eine Nockenwelle der gattungsgemäßen Art eine verbesserte oder zumindest alternative Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere durch eine verringerte Leckage auszeichnet.The present invention addresses the problem of providing a camshaft of the generic type an improved or at least alternative embodiment, which is characterized in particular by a reduced leakage.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die vorliegende Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, eine Nockenwelle im Bereich eines Ringbundes eines Nockens mit einer Dichtung zu versehen, um somit eine ausreichende oder zumindest verbesserte fluidische Isolierung zu schaffen und dementsprechend eine Leckage in diesem Bereich zu verhindern oder zumindest zu vermindern. Die erfindungsgemäße Nockenwelle weist eine Innenwelle und eine Außenwelle auf, welche konzentrisch angeordnet sind. Dabei ist die Außenwelle als Hohlwelle ausgebildet, während die Innenwelle beispielsweise als Vollwelle ausgestaltet sein kann. Radial zwischen der Innenwelle und der Außenwelle ist eine Lücke ausgebildet bzw. ausgeformt, in die unter Druck stehender Schmierflüssigkeit, insbesondere ein Motoröl der zugehörigen Brennkraftmaschine, eingebracht wird, um insbesondere das Gleiten des Nockens entlang der Außenwelle zu erleichtern. Hierbei ist der Nocken, der den Nockenkörper und den axial vom Nockenkörper beabstandeten und mit dem Nockenkörper verbundenen Ringbund aufweist, mit einem radialen Spalt gleitend auf der Außenwelle angeordnet. Der Nocken weist zudem eine Aufnahme auf, die vorzugsweise im Ringbund ausgebildet ist und der Verstiftung des Nockens mit der Innenwelle dient. Hierzu kann ein zugehöriger Stift einerseits in der Aufnahme des Nockens und andererseits in einer zugehörigen Innenwellenaufnahme der Innenwelle angeordnet sein. Zweckmäßig weist die Außenwelle eine ringförmige Öffnung bzw. Ringöffnung auf, durch welche der Stift geführt ist. Dementsprechend kann die unter Druck stehende Schmierflüssigkeit durch die Ringöffnung der Außenwelle und über die Aufnahme des Nockens radial zwischen den Nocken und die Außenwelle gelangen, um insbesondere die Gleiteigenschaften des Nockens auf der Außenwelle zu verbessern und eine Reibung zwischen dem Nocken und der Außenwelle zu verringern. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Nockenwelle im Bereich des Ringbunds mit einer Dichtung versehen, um eine Leckage dieser Schmierflüssigkeit im zugehörigen Bereich zu verhindern oder zumindest zu reduzieren. Hierbei wird die Kenntnis genutzt, dass eine derartige Leckage insbesondere dadurch entsteht, dass der Nocken auf lediglich einer axialen Seite einen solchen Nockenkörper aufweist, der zweckmäßig mit einer engen Toleranz zur Außenwelle ausgebildet ist bzw. angeordnet ist. Diese "ungleichmäßige" Ausbildung des Nockens führt dazu, dass die Schmierflüssigkeit auf der Seite des Nockens, auf der der Nockenkörper nicht angeordnet ist, also im Bereich des Ringbundes, austreten kann. Erfindungsgemäß wird dieser Leckage also dadurch entgegengewirkt, dass die Nockenwelle im Bereich des Ringbundes eine Dichtung aufweist.The present invention is based on the general idea of providing a camshaft in the region of a ring collar of a cam with a seal in order thus to provide sufficient or at least improved fluidic isolation and accordingly to prevent or at least reduce leakage in this area. The camshaft according to the invention has an inner shaft and an outer shaft, which are arranged concentrically. In this case, the outer shaft is designed as a hollow shaft, while the inner shaft can be configured for example as a solid shaft. Radially between the inner shaft and the outer shaft, a gap is formed or formed in the pressurized lubricating fluid, in particular an engine oil associated internal combustion engine is introduced, in particular to facilitate the sliding of the cam along the outer shaft. Here, the cam, which has the cam body and axially spaced from the cam body and connected to the cam body annular collar, arranged with a radial gap slidably on the outer shaft. The cam also has a receptacle, which is preferably formed in the annular collar and the pinning of the cam with the inner shaft is used. For this purpose, an associated pin can be arranged on the one hand in the receptacle of the cam and on the other hand in an associated inner shaft receptacle of the inner shaft. Suitably, the outer shaft has an annular opening or annular opening through which the pin is guided. Accordingly, the lubricating fluid under pressure may pass radially between the cam and the outer shaft through the annular opening of the outer shaft and via the cam, in particular to improve the sliding properties of the cam on the outer shaft and to reduce friction between the cam and the outer shaft. According to the invention, the camshaft is provided with a seal in the region of the annular collar in order to prevent or at least reduce leakage of this lubricating fluid in the associated area. In this case, the knowledge is used that such a leakage arises in particular by the fact that the cam has only one axial side of such a cam body, which is expediently designed and arranged with a close tolerance to the outer shaft. This "uneven" design of the cam results in that the lubricating fluid on the side of the cam on which the cam body is not arranged, ie in the region of the annular collar, can escape. According to the invention, this leakage is thus counteracted by the camshaft having a seal in the region of the annular collar.
Eine derartige Dichtung kann insbesondere durch eine entsprechende geometrische Ausgestaltung bzw. körperliche Ausbildung des Ringbundes erreicht werden. Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, eine Dichtungslänge des Ringbundes und eine radiale Höhe des Spaltes zwischen dem Ringbund und der Außenwelle in einem extremen Verhältnis auszubilden. Bevorzugt beträgt das Verhältnis zwischen der axialen Dichtungslänge des Ringbundes und der radialen Höhe des Spaltes zumindest 50 : 1. Bei besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsformen beträgt dieses Verhältnis zwischen der axialen Dichtungslänge des Ringbunds und die radiale Höhe des Spalts 250 : 1. Die axiale Dichtungslänge des Ringbundes erstreckt sich dabei entlang der axialen Richtung der Wellen, während die radiale Höhe des Spaltes diejenige Ausdehnung des Spaltes zwischen der Außenwelle und dem Ringbund ist, die sich entlang der radialen Richtung der Wellen erstreckt. Dabei ist die axiale Dichtungslänge des Ringbundes im Wesentlichen zwischen der Aufnahme und einer vom Nockenkörper abgewandten axialen Seitenfläche des Ringbunds gegeben.Such a seal can be achieved in particular by a corresponding geometric design or physical training of the annular collar. Here, it is advantageous to form a seal length of the annular collar and a radial height of the gap between the annular collar and the outer shaft in an extreme ratio. Preferably, the ratio between the axial seal length of the collar and the radial height of the gap is at least 50: 1. In particularly preferred embodiments, this ratio between the axial seal length of the collar and the radial height of the gap is 250: 1. The axial seal length of the collar extends while along the axial direction of the shafts, while the radial height of the gap is that extension of the gap between the outer shaft and the annular collar, which extends along the radial direction of the shafts. In this case, the axial sealing length of the annular collar is essentially provided between the receptacle and an axial side surface of the annular collar facing away from the cam body.
Der Ringbund kann auf seiner der Außenwelle zugewandten Innenseite eine nach innen offene Ringnut aufweisen, welche insbesondere die Aufnahme umgibt. Diese Ringnut dient dabei insbesondere dem Zweck, eine Gratbildung am Nocken, insbesondere am Ringbund, bei der Herstellung der Aufnahme, die üblicherweise mit Hilfe einer Bohrung erfolgt, zu verhindern. Dabei kann diese Ringnut zu einer zusätzlichen bzw. zu einem verstärkten Austritt der Schmierflüssigkeit aus der Aufnahme führen. Weist der Ringbund eine solche Ringnut auf, so erstreckt sich die axiale Dichtungslänge des Ringbunds zweckmäßig zwischen einem der Seitenfläche des Ringbunds zugewandten Seitenrand der Ringnut und der Seitenfläche des Ringbunds.The annular collar may have an inwardly open annular groove on its inner side facing the outer shaft, which surrounds in particular the receptacle. In particular, this annular groove serves the purpose of preventing burr formation on the cam, in particular on the annular collar, in the production of the receptacle, which is usually carried out with the aid of a bore. In this case, this annular groove lead to an additional or to an increased outlet of the lubricating fluid from the recording. If the annular collar has such an annular groove, then the axial sealing length of the annular collar expediently extends between a side edge of the annular groove facing the lateral surface of the annular collar and the side surface of the annular collar.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann zur Realisierung der Dichtung ein Dichtungselement vorgesehen sein, welches radial zwischen dem Ringbund und der Außenwelle angeordnet ist. Die Dichtung weist also ein solches Dichtungselement auf, welches insbesondere in der Ringnut des Ringbundes angeordnet sein kann. Auch kann der Ringbund eine Dichtungsnut aufweisen, in der besagtes Dichtungselement angeordnet ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Außenwelle eine zweite Dichtungsnut aufweisen, in der das Dichtungselement angeordnet ist.Alternatively or additionally, for the realization of the seal, a sealing element may be provided which radially between the annular collar and the outer shaft is arranged. The seal thus has such a sealing element, which can be arranged in particular in the annular groove of the annular collar. Also, the annular collar may have a sealing groove in which said sealing element is arranged. Alternatively or additionally, the outer shaft may have a second sealing groove, in which the sealing element is arranged.
Das Dichtungselement ist beispielsweise als ein O-Ring, als ein X-Ring oder als eine Kolbendichtung ausgestaltet. Ferner kann das Dichtungselement aus einem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise aus einem Elastomer, hergestellt sein, wobei das Dichtungselement zweckmäßig derart ausgebildet, insbesondere aus solchen Materialien hergestellt ist, dass es für die thermischen und mechanischen Belastungen, die in diesem Bereich der Nockenwelle herrschen können, geeignet ist.The sealing element is designed, for example, as an O-ring, as an X-ring or as a piston seal. Furthermore, the sealing element may be made of a plastic, preferably of an elastomer, wherein the sealing element is expediently designed, in particular made of such materials, that it is suitable for the thermal and mechanical stresses that can prevail in this area of the camshaft ,
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist das Dichtungselement am Ringbund oder an der Außenwelle anvulkanisiert. Bevorzugt ist ein solches Dichtungselement an der Seitenfläche des Ringbundes bzw. in einem entsprechenden Bereich der Außenwelle anvulkanisiert. Es versteht, dass die Nockenwelle auch mehrere derartige Dichtungselemente, die jeweils gleich oder unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein können, aufweisen kann.According to a further embodiment, the sealing element is vulcanized on the annular collar or on the outer shaft. Preferably, such a sealing element is vulcanized on the side surface of the annular collar or in a corresponding region of the outer shaft. It is understood that the camshaft may also have a plurality of such sealing elements, each of which may be identical or different.
Der Nockenkörper und der Ringbund sind zweckmäßig miteinander verbunden. Hierbei können der Nockenkörper und der Ringbund auf beliebige Art miteinander verbunden sein und beispielsweise aneinander verschweißt, verklebt, verlötet und dergleichen sein. Bevorzugt ist der Nocken jedoch derart ausgebildet, dass der Nockenkörper und der Ringbund einstückig sind.The cam body and the annular collar are suitably connected to each other. Here, the cam body and the collar can be connected to each other in any way and, for example, welded together, glued, soldered and the like. Preferably, however, the cam is designed such that the cam body and the annular collar are integral.
