Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Maschine zum Andrehen einer Brennkraftmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electric machine for starting an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Zudem betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Montage einer elektrischen Maschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 9.In addition, the invention relates to a method for assembling an electrical machine according to the preamble of claim 9.

Außerdem betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Maschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 11.Moreover, the invention relates to a method for producing an electrical machine according to the preamble of claim 11.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem System mit einem Starter oder Startermotor nach Gattung der unabhängigen Ansprüche.The invention relates to a system with a starter or starter motor according to the preamble of the independent claims.

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung sind Starter und Anlasser für Fahrzeuge mit Verbrennungsmotoren, die eine elektrische Maschine mit einer mit einem Freilauf verbundenen Abtriebswelle, sowohl mit als auch ohne Planetengetriebe zur Untersetzung, aufweisen.The present invention starters and starters for vehicles with internal combustion engines, which have an electric machine with an output shaft connected to a freewheel, both with and without planetary gear for reduction.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Anlasser mit einem Anlasserrelais für Fahrzeuge mit Verbrennungsmotoren bekannt, die in der Regel einen Gleichstromelektromotor zum Antreiben des Verbrennungsmotors umfassen.From the prior art, starters with a starter relay for vehicles with internal combustion engines are known, which generally comprise a DC electric motor for driving the internal combustion engine.

In derartigen Startern oder Startermotoren ist für ein Einspuren bzw. einen Hub in einen Zahnkranz beispielsweise ein Relais-Hebelsystem mit einem entsprechenden Ritzel verantwortlich. Zur Bewegungsübertragung des Relaisankers zum Ritzel wird ein Hebel, auch Gabelhebel genannt, verwendet. Der Gabelhebel weist eine Lagerstelle, im allgemeinen Lagerbock genannt, an einem Antriebslager, kurz A-Lager genannt, auf. Diese Lagerstelle ist im montierten Zustand gegenüber dem A-Lager nicht abgedichtet, sodass Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit über den Lagerbock, das Relais und das A-Lager eindringen kann. Diese Verunreinigungen beeinflussen die Lebensdauer des Starters negativ. Zum Beispiel kann das Steilgewinde für den Freilauf und das Ritzel korrodieren und/oder so stark verschmutzen, dass die Ritzelbewegung komplett verhindert wird, sodass eine Funktion des Starters nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Des Weiteren ist der Lagerbock spielbehaftet in dem A-Lager gelagert. Damit ist im Rahmen der fertigungsbedingten Toleranzen dieser Bauteile eine Verschiebung des Drehpunkts möglich. Hierdurch werden ein Vorspurmaß und ein Schraubweg beeinflusst. Bei einem Vorspurmaß handelt es sich um den Hub des Relais, der eine erste Bewegung des Ritzels bewirkt. Da das Ritzel allein aufgrund dieser Bewegung noch nicht vollständig in die Sollposition bewegt ist, ist weiter ein Schraubweg vorgesehen. Der Schraubweg ist der Weg, welchen das Ritzel unter Last durch das Steilgewinde zurücklegt. Der gesamte Ritzelweg ergibt sich somit aus dem Vorspurmaß und dem Schrauweg..In such starters or starter motors, for example, a relay lever system with a corresponding pinion is responsible for a meshing or a hub in a ring gear. For movement transmission of the relay armature to the pinion, a lever, also called fork lever, is used. The fork lever has a bearing point, in called general bearing block, called on a drive bearing, short A-bearing on. This bearing is not sealed in the assembled state against the A-bearing, so that dirt and moisture can penetrate through the bearing block, the relay and the A-bearing. These contaminants negatively affect the life of the starter. For example, the coarse thread for the freewheel and the pinion can corrode and / or so dirty that the pinion movement is completely prevented, so that a function of the starter is no longer guaranteed. Furthermore, the bearing block is play-bearing stored in the A-bearing. This is within the production-related tolerances of these components, a shift of the pivot point possible. As a result, a Vorspurmaß and a Schraubweg be influenced. A toe gauge is the stroke of the relay that causes a first movement of the pinion. Since the pinion is not fully moved into the desired position due to this movement alone, a screw is further provided. The Schraubweg is the way the pinion travels under load through the coarse thread. The entire Ritzelweg thus results from the Vorspurmaß and the Schrauweg ..

Um das Eintreten von Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz zu verhindern, werden bei herkömmlichen Startern zusätzliche Bauteile, vorzugsweise aus Gummi, an der Verbindung des Lagerbocks mit dem A-Lager eingesetzt, welche jedoch unter Vorspannung montiert werden müssen. Dies erfordert jedoch eine aufwendigere Montage des Starters und zusätzliche Bauteile.To prevent the ingress of moisture and dirt, in conventional starters additional components, preferably made of rubber, are used at the connection of the bearing block to the A-bearing, which, however, must be mounted under prestressing. However, this requires a more complex installation of the starter and additional components.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Maschine und das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Montage einer elektrischen Maschine mit den Merkmalen des entsprechenden Hauptanspruches oder nebengeordneten Anspruches haben dem Stand der Technik gegenüber den Vorteil, dass bei einer elektrischen Maschine, insbesondere einer Andrehvorrichtung wie ein Starter, zum Andrehen einer Brennkraftmaschine, umfassend mindestens ein in ein Lager einsetzbaren Lagerbock zum bewegbaren Lagern eines mit einem Relaisanker gekoppelten Hebels, vorgesehen ist, dass mindestens ein Ausgleichselement zum spielfreien Einsetzen des Lagerbocks in das Lager, insbesondere in das Antriebslager oder kurz A-Lager, ausgebildet ist. Bei einer derartigen elektrischen Maschine bzw. einer derartigen Andrehvorrichtung wird ein Spiel zwischen dem Lagerbock und dem A-Lager im montierten Zustand mittels der Ausgleichselemente vorteilhafterweise vermieden. Dadurch ist der Hebel mit einem festen Drehpunkt bewegbar in dem A-Lager, genauer an dem Lagerblock, lagerbar, sodass Verschiebungen des Drehpunkts bei einem Betrieb des Starters und damit verbundene Schädigungen des Starters vermieden werden. Das Lager, genauer der Lagerblock, dient zur Lagerung des Gabelhebels und damit zum Übertragen einer Bewegung des Relaisankers auf das Starterritzel, um ein Einspuren des Starterritzels in einen Zahnkranz auszuführen. Dazu ist der Hebel, insbesondere der Gabelhebel, vorgesehen, welcher mit dem Relaisanker und ggf. mit dem Freilauf gekoppelt ist und dabei eine Bewegung vom Relaisanker auf das Ritzel überträgt. Der Lagerbock ist in einer Ausführungsform an einem Zwischenlager des Lagers angeordnet. In einer anderen Ausführungsfom ist der Lagerbock als separates Bauteil ausgebildet. Das Zwischenlager dient als Gegenstück beim Einlegen und Sichern des Hebels an bzw. in dem Lager.The electric machine according to the invention and the inventive method for mounting an electrical machine with the features of the corresponding main claim or independent claim have the prior art over the advantage that in an electric machine, in particular a starter, such as a starter, for cranking an internal combustion engine, comprising at least one bearing block which can be used in a bearing for movably supporting a lever coupled to a relay anchor is provided, that at least one compensating element is designed for play-free insertion of the bearing block into the bearing, in particular into the drive bearing or shortly A-bearing. In such an electric machine or such a starting device, a clearance between the bearing block and the A-bearing in the assembled state by means of the compensating elements is advantageously avoided. Thereby, the lever with a fixed pivot point is movable in the A-bearing, more precisely on the bearing block, storable, so that displacements of the pivot point during operation of the starter and associated damage to the starter can be avoided. The bearing, more precisely, the bearing block, serves to support the fork lever and thus to transmit a movement of the relay armature on the starter pinion to perform a meshing of the starter pinion in a ring gear. For this purpose, the lever, in particular the fork lever, is provided, which is coupled to the relay armature and optionally to the freewheel and thereby transmits a movement from the relay armature to the pinion. The bearing block is arranged in one embodiment at an intermediate storage of the bearing. In another embodiment, the bearing block is formed as a separate component. The intermediate storage serves as a counterpart when inserting and securing the lever on or in the warehouse.

Insbesondere ist eine Längserstreckung eines Ausgleichselement und/oder Dichtelements quer, insbesondere senkrecht, zu der Längserstreckung mindestens eines anderen Ausgleichselements und/oder Dichtelements ausgerichtet. Entsprechend sind die Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform quer zur Axial- bzw. Montagerichtung, insbesondere senkrecht hierzu, ausgerichtet. Dabei ist eine Erstreckung der Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelement, kurz Elemente genannt, längs des Lagerbocks vorteilhafterweise größer als eine von dem Lagerbock abragende Höhe, wobei die Ausrichtung der Längserstreckung jeweils die Ausrichtung der Elemente definiert.In a further embodiment, it is provided that at least one compensating element and / or sealing element is aligned transversely to the mounting direction and / or to a different compensating element and / or sealing element. In particular, a longitudinal extent of a compensating element and / or sealing element is aligned transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the longitudinal extent of at least one other compensating element and / or sealing element. Accordingly, the compensation elements and / or sealing elements in a preferred embodiment, transverse to the axial or Mounting direction, in particular perpendicular thereto, aligned. In this case, an extension of the compensating elements and / or sealing element, called elements for short, along the bearing block advantageously larger than a protruding from the bearing block height, the orientation of the longitudinal extent defines the orientation of the elements.

Entsprechend ist in einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass das mindestens eine Ausgleichselement und/oder das mindestens eine Dichtelement eine sich, insbesondere von dem Lagerbock weg, verjüngende Form aufweisen. Vorteilhafterweise ist eine Basisfläche der Elemente an dem Lagerbock größer als eine Fläche an einem entgegengesetzten Ende, insbesondere eine Spitze der Elemente. Bevorzugt weisen die Elemente eine Form bzw. einen Querschnitt ausgewählt aus der Gruppe der Formen bzw. Querschnitte umfassend Dreiecke, insbesondere gleichschenkeliges Dreiecke, rechtwinklige Dreiecke, U-Formen, Polygone, Messerschneiden und dergleichen auf. Beispielsweise sind die Elemente spitz zulaufend, das heißt mit einer von dem Lagerbock sich erstreckenden Verjüngung, ausgebildet. Weiterhin bevorzugt sind die Elemente im Querschnitt dreieckig ausgebildet. Die Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente sind beispielsweise als gleichschenklige Dreiecke mit einer Spitze im Winkel in einem Bereich von etwa 15° bis 45°, etwa im Bereich von 30° plus/minus 5°, insbesondere in Form einer Messerschneide, ausgebildet. Andere Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente sind beispielsweise dreieckig oder U-förmig ausgebildet. Dabei ist die Form der Elemente vorzugweise derart ausgewählt, dass diese in eine Kraftrichtung, also entgegen einer Montagrichtung, bei der Montage verbiegbar sind.

Other compensating elements and / or sealing elements are for example triangular or U-shaped. In this case, the shape of the elements is preferably selected such that they are bendable in a force direction, ie against a mounting direction during assembly. Accordingly, the compensation elements and / or sealing elements are preferably designed in the manner of a sealing lip.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das mindestens eine Ausgleichselement und/oder das mindestens eine Dichtelement zumindest teilweise verformbar ausgebildet ist/sind. Vorteilhafterweise sind die Elemente zumindest in einem von dem Lagerbock weg weisenden, verjüngten Abschnitt verformbar ausgebildet. Dies ermöglicht eine Presspassung bzw. einen Form- und/oder Kraftschluss beim Einsetzen des Lagerbocks in das Lager mit dem entsprechenden Spielausgleich und der Abdichtung. Der Spielausgleich bzw. die Dichtfunktion wird somit durch die Verformung realisiert bzw. unterstützt. Bevorzugt ist der Lagerbock mit den Elementen aus einem weicheren Material gefertigt als das A-Lager.In a further embodiment it is provided that the at least one compensating element and / or the at least one sealing element is / are at least partially deformable. Advantageously, the elements are formed deformable at least in a direction away from the bearing block, tapered portion. This allows a press fit or a positive and / or adhesion when inserting the bearing block in the bearing with the appropriate clearance compensation and the seal.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des entsprechenden Hauptanspruches oder nebengeordneten Anspruches haben dem Stand der Technik gegenüber den Vorteil, dass bei einem Verfahren zur Montage einer elektrischen Maschine, insbesondere einer Andrehvorrichtung wie ein Starter, zum Andrehen einer Brennkraftmaschine, mit mindestens einem in ein Lager einsetzbaren Lagerbock zum bewegbaren Lagern eines mit einem Relaisankers gekoppelten Hebels, umfassend den Schritt Einsetzen des Lagerbocks in das Lager, vorgesehen ist, dass vor oder beim Einsetzen ein Ausgleichslement und/oder ein Dichtelement an dem Lagerbock, insbesondere durch Verformen des mindestens einen Ausgleichselementes und/oder Dichtelements, vorgesehen wird, sodass nach dem Einsetzen der Lagerbock in dem Lager, insbesondere in dem A-Lager, spielfrei angeordnet und/oder abgedichtet ist. In einer Ausführungsform ist dabei vorgesehen, dass der Lagerbock, insbesondere mindestens ein Ausgleichs - und/oder Dichtelement, beim Einsetzten zumindest teilweise verformt wird, sodass das mindestens eine Lager spielfrei angeordnet und/oder abgedichtet wird.The method according to the invention with the features of the corresponding main claim or independent claim have the advantage over the prior art that in a method for assembling an electric machine, in particular a starting device such as a starter, for cranking an internal combustion engine, with at least one usable in a camp Bearing for movably supporting a lever coupled to a relay anchor, comprising the step of inserting the bearing block into the bearing, is provided that before or during insertion a compensation element and / or a sealing element on the bearing block, in particular by deforming the at least one compensation element and / or Sealing element is provided so that after insertion of the bearing block in the bearing, in particular in the A-bearing, arranged without play and / or sealed. In one embodiment, it is provided that the bearing block, in particular at least one compensating and / or sealing element, is at least partially deformed during insertion, so that the at least one bearing is arranged without clearance and / or sealed.

Bei der Montage wird in einem ersten Schritt der Hebel in das Lager eingelegt. In einem weiteren Schritt wird der Lagerbock, mit oder ohne das Zwischenlager, in das Lager eingesetzt. Beim Einsetzen des Lagerbocks werden die Ausgleichselemente durch einen Gegendruck des Lagers teilweise abgetragen und/oder verformt, sodass eine Presspassung mit teilweisem oder kompletten Formschluss der miteinander verbundenen Bauteile realisiert wird. Das Spiel zwischen Lagerbock und Lager wird hierdurch vorzugsweise vollständig vermieden, wobei der Toleranzausgleich selbstregulierend, angepasst an die Maße der miteinander zu verbindenden Bauteile erfolgt. Dabei ermöglicht diese spielfreie Montage eine ortsfeste, drehbare Befestigung des Hebels, sodass Verschiebungen des Drehpunktes des Hebels nicht auftreten. Weiterhin dichten Dichtelemente an dem Lagerbock die Verbindung vorzugsweise vollständig gegenüber Verunreinigungen ab. Zur Abdichtung und für den Toleranzausgleich werden erfindungsgemäß keine zusätzlichen Bauteile benötigt, wobei die Montage vorteilhafterweise vorspannungsfrei durchgeführt wird, sodass lediglich eine geringe Montagekraft notwendig ist.During assembly, the lever is inserted in the bearing in a first step. In a further step, the bearing block is inserted into the bearing, with or without the intermediate bearing. When inserting the bearing block, the compensation elements are partially removed and / or deformed by a back pressure of the bearing, so that a press fit with partial or complete positive engagement of the interconnected components is realized. The game between bearing block and bearing is thereby preferably completely avoided, the tolerance compensation is self-regulating, adapted to the dimensions of the components to be joined together. This backlash-free installation allows a fixed, rotatable attachment of the lever, so that shifts of the pivot point of the lever does not occur. Furthermore, sealing elements on the bearing block preferably seal the connection completely against impurities. For sealing and for tolerance compensation no additional components are required according to the invention, wherein the assembly is advantageously carried out without bias, so that only a small installation force is necessary.

Insgesamt werden mit der erfindungsgemäßen Andrehvorrichtung und dem erfindungsgemäßen Montageverfahren die folgenden Vorteile realisiert: Zwischen dem A-Lager und dem Lagerbock erfolgt ein nahezu vollständiger Spiel- bzw. Toleranzausgleich des Lagerbocks, sodass eine feste Position des Drehpunktes des Gabelhebels und somit eine Funktionssicherheit des Starters gewährleistet wird. Weiterhin wird das Eindringen vom Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit in das A-Lager im Vorspurtrieb des Starters vermieden. Schließlich werden keine zusätzlichen Bauteile zur Abdichtung mehr benötigt, sodass die Montage trotz Funktionszugewinn vereinfacht wird.Overall, the following advantages are realized with the inventive starting device and the assembly method according to the invention: Between the A-bearing and the bearing block is almost complete clearance or tolerance compensation of the bearing block, so ensuring a fixed position of the fulcrum of the fork lever and thus a reliability of the starter becomes. Furthermore, the penetration of dirt and moisture into the A-bearing in the Toe drive of the starter avoided. Finally, no additional components are required for sealing more, so that the assembly is simplified despite gaining functionality.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment

Die Figur 1 zeigt in einer Querschnittansicht eine als Andrehvorrichtung ausgebildete elektrische Maschine 100 einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine mit Relais 42, auch als Schalt- oder Einrückrelais ausgeführt. Ein Gehäuse 10 der Andrehvorrichtung umfasst einen zylindrischen Gehäuseteil 11 und einen Deckel 13, die durch nicht weiter dargestellte Schrauben miteinander verbunden sind. Das zylindrische Gehäuseteil 11 ist hinten durch den Deckel 13 verschlossen, in dessen Mittelteil eine nach außen gerichtete, Nabe angeformt ist (hier nicht detailliert gezeigt). In der Nabe befindet sich eine Lagerstelle, in welcher ein hinteres Ende 17a der Ankerwelle 17 eines elektrischen Andrehmotors 18 gelagert ist, dessen Anker mit 19 bezeichnet ist. Radial außerhalb des Ankers 19 befinden sich an der Wand des Gehäuseteils 11 mehrere (Permanent-)Magnete 20 des Andrehmotors 18. Das vordere Ende der Ankerwelle 17 ist mit einem im Durchmesser reduzierten Endabschnitt 22 in einer achsgleich verlaufenden, nicht weiter dargestellten Sackbohrung 23 einer Abtriebswelle 24 gelagert. Das andere Ende der Abtriebswelle 24 ist in einem das Gehäuseteil 11 verschließenden Lagerschild 25 und einer an dieser angeformten Nabe 26 gelagert. Die Ankerwelle 17 weist nahe ihrem dem Lagerschild 25 zugewandten Ende eine Verzahnung 28 (Sonnenrad) auf, in welche Planetenräder 29 eingreifen, die auch mit einem außenliegenden, feststehenden Hohlrad 30 eines Planetengetriebes 31 kämmen (=Vorgelege).The FIG. 1 shows in a cross-sectional view designed as a starting device electric machine 100 of an internal combustion engine with relay 42, also designed as a switching or engaging relay. A housing 10 of the starter device comprises a cylindrical housing part 11 and a cover 13, which are interconnected by screws, not shown. The cylindrical housing part 11 is closed at the rear by the cover 13, in the middle part of an outwardly directed, hub is formed (not shown in detail here). In the hub is a bearing, in which a rear end 17a of the armature shaft 17 of an electric Andrehmotors 18th is mounted, whose armature is denoted by 19. Radially outside the armature 19 are on the wall of the housing part 11 more (permanent) magnets 20 of the starter motor 18. The front end of the armature shaft 17 is provided with a reduced diameter end portion 22 in a coaxially extending, not shown blind bore 23 of an output shaft 24 stored. The other end of the output shaft 24 is mounted in a housing part 11 closing the bearing plate 25 and a molded-on this hub 26. The armature shaft 17 has near its end facing the end plate 25 a toothing 28 (sun gear), in which planetary gears 29 engage, which also mesh with an external stationary ring gear 30 of a planetary gear 31 (= countershaft).

Ein Planetenträger 12 treibt die Abtriebswelle 24 an, auf welcher ein Freilauf 33 angeordnet ist, dessen Innenring 34 ein Ritzel 35 aufweist, an dem eine Außenverzahnung 36 ausgebildet ist. Der Außenring 37 des Freilaufs 33 ist über ein Steilgewinde 38 mit der Abtriebswelle 24 verbunden. Auf ihn wirkt eine sogenannte Einspurfeder 39 ein. Durch axiales Verschieben des Freilaufs 33 kann die Außenverzahnung 36 mit einem Zahnkranz 40 einer Brennkraftmaschine zwecks des Startvorgangs in Eingriff gebracht werden. Dies geschieht mit Hilfe des (Einrück-) Relais 42, in welchem beim Einschalten eines Stroms ein Magnetanker über einen Fortsatz 43 einen Hebel 44, auch Gabelhebel genannt, verschwenkt, der über eine Kulisse 45, die zwischen Scheiben 46 liegt, den Freilauf 33 nach links verschiebt. Der Hebel 44 ist zweiarmig ausgebildet und mittels Zapfen 48, in einem gehäusefesten Lager 49 schwenkbar angeordnet. Dabei ist das Lager 49 mittels verschiedener Elemente 1 und 2 gegenüber der Ausbildung eines Spiels und dem Eindringen von Verunreinigungen gesichert (siehe Figuren 2 bis 6).A planet carrier 12 drives the output shaft 24, on which a freewheel 33 is arranged, whose inner ring 34 has a pinion 35, on which an external toothing 36 is formed. The outer ring 37 of the freewheel 33 is connected via a coarse thread 38 with the output shaft 24. On him acts a so-called Einspurfeder 39 a. By axial displacement of the freewheel 33, the external teeth 36 can be brought into engagement with a ring gear 40 of an internal combustion engine for the purpose of starting. This is done by means of the (engagement) relay 42, in which when turning on a current, a magnet armature via a projection 43 a lever 44, also called fork lever pivots, the freewheel 33 via a link 45, which lies between discs 46 shifted to the left. The lever 44 is formed with two arms and by means of pins 48, pivotally mounted in a housing-fixed bearing 49. In this case, the bearing 49 is secured by means of various elements 1 and 2 with respect to the formation of a game and the ingress of impurities (see FIGS. 2 to 6 ).

Die Ankerwelle 17 ist an ihrem hinteren lagerseitigen Ende 17a mit einer Arretiervorrichtung in axiale Richtung gesichert. An dem Deckel 13 liegt eine Bürstenplatte 53 an, welche mit dem Deckel 13 verschraubt ist. Die Bürstenplatte 53 ist einstückig ausgebildet. An ihr sind insbesondere aus Kunststoff bestehende Bürstenhalter befestigt, in welchen Kohlen angeordnet sind, die sich unter Federdruck an einen Kommutator 63 anlegen, welcher an der Ankerwelle 17 angeordnet ist. Die Kohlen sind über Anschlußlitzen an einen Kabelschuh angeschlossen, der mit einem Kontakt 68 des Relais 42 verbunden ist. Die Litzen durchdringen eine Dichtung 70, welche im Gehäuseteil 11 in einer Öffnung angeordnet ist. Die Bürstenplatte 53 ist mit Schrauben 62 am Deckel 13 befestigt.The armature shaft 17 is secured at its rear bearing-side end 17a with a locking device in the axial direction. On the cover 13 is a brush plate 53, which is bolted to the lid 13. The brush plate 53 is integrally formed. At her particular brush holder made of plastic are attached, in which coals are arranged, which bear under spring pressure to a commutator 63, which is arranged on the armature shaft 17. The coals are connected via connecting leads to a cable lug which is connected to a contact 68 of the relay 42. The strands penetrate a seal 70, which is arranged in the housing part 11 in an opening. The brush plate 53 is fastened with screws 62 on the cover 13.

Die Figur 2 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Ansicht das Lager 49 in einer teilweisen Explosionsdarstellung in einem unmontierten Zustand, das heißt mit einem Zwischenlager 50, wobei dieses noch nicht in das Lager 49 eingesetzt ist. An dem Zwischenlager 50 ist einteilig ein Lagerbock 51 integriert ausgebildet. Der Lagerbock 51 dient bei der Montage des Lagers 49 unter anderem zum Positionieren des Zwischenlagers 50 in einem korrespondierenden Aufnahmebereich 49a des Lagers 49. Der Lagerbock 51 ragt in radiale Richtung von dem etwa ringförmigen Zwischenlager 50 etwa in 12-Uhr-Position ab. Dabei ist das Zwischenlager 50 etwa kreisscheibenförmig ausgebildet. Der Lagerbock 51 ist etwa quaderförmig ausgebildet. In Axialrichtung A weist der Lagerbock 51 einen Absatz oder eine Verjüngung auf. Erfindungsgemäß sind an dem Lagerbock 51 Elemente 1 und 2, das heißt Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1,2, zum spielfreien Einsetzen des Lagerbocks 51und/oder zum Abdichten des Lagers 49 bzw. des Lagerbocks 51 ausgebildet. Diese Elemente 1 und 2 sind als längsausgerichete Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1 oder als querausgerichtete Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 2 ausgebildet. Hierbei dienen die Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1,2 zum Ausgleichen von Toleranzen bzw. zum Vermeiden eines Spiels zwischen dem Lagerbock 51 und dem Lager 49 (siehe Figuren 4 und 5) und zugleich zum Abdichten des Lagers 49 gegenüber einem Eindringen von Verunreinigungen. Die Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1,2 sind in der gezeigten Ausführungsform integriert miteinander ausgebildet. In anderen Ausführungsformen sind die Ausgleichselemente und/oder die Dichtelemente 1,2 separat zueinander ausgebildet.The FIG. 2 shows in a perspective view of the bearing 49 in a partially exploded view in an unmounted state, that is, with an intermediate bearing 50, which is not yet used in the bearing 49. At the intermediate bearing 50, a bearing block 51 is integrally formed integrally. The bearing block 51 is used during assembly of the bearing 49 inter alia for positioning the intermediate bearing 50 in a corresponding receiving portion 49a of the bearing 49. The bearing block 51 projects in the radial direction of the approximately annular intermediate bearing 50 approximately in 12 o'clock position. In this case, the intermediate bearing 50 is approximately circular disk-shaped. The bearing block 51 is approximately cuboid. In the axial direction A, the bearing block 51 has a shoulder or a taper. According to the invention, elements 1 and 2, that is to say compensating elements and / or sealing elements 1, 2, are designed for play-free insertion of the bearing block 51 and / or for sealing the bearing 49 or the bearing block 51 on the bearing block 51. These elements 1 and 2 are designed as longitudinally aligned compensating elements and / or sealing elements 1 or as transversely aligned compensating elements and / or sealing elements 2. Here, the compensation elements and / or sealing elements serve 1,2 to compensate for tolerances or to avoid a game between the bearing block 51 and the bearing 49 (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ) and at the same time for sealing the bearing 49 against ingress of contaminants. The compensating elements and / or sealing elements 1, 2 are integrated with one another in the embodiment shown. In other embodiments, the compensation elements and / or the sealing elements 1, 2 are formed separately from each other.

Die Elemente 1 und 2 sind einteilig, das heißt integriert, mit dem Lagerbock 51 ausgebildet. Dies wird vorliegend mittels einer Spritzgussfertigung aus einem Kunststoff realisiert. Weiterhin sind die Elemente 1 und 2 zumindest teilweise verformbar ausgebildet. Gemäß der Ausführungsform der Figur 2 sind die längsausgerichteten Ausgleichselemente und/oder DIchtelemente 1 in Montagerichtung A ausgerichtet und die querausgerichteten Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 2 etwa senkrecht, also im rechten Winkel dazu, angeordnet. Entsprechend erstrecken sich die längsausgerichteten Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1 in eine Axialrichtung A des Lagers 49, welche gleichzeitig die Montagerichtung A beim Einführen des Lagerbocks 51 in den Aufnahmebereich 49a des Lagers 49 entspricht. Entsprechend erstrecken sich die Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 2 etwa rechtwinklig zu der Montage- bzw. Axialrichtung A.The elements 1 and 2 are integrally, that is integrally formed with the bearing block 51. This is realized in the present case by means of an injection molding of a plastic. Furthermore, the elements 1 and 2 are formed at least partially deformable. According to the embodiment of the FIG. 2 the longitudinally aligned compensating elements and / or D-elements 1 are aligned in the mounting direction A and the transverse aligned compensating elements and / or sealing elements 2 approximately perpendicular, that is arranged at right angles to it. Accordingly, the longitudinally aligned compensation elements and / or sealing elements 1 extend in an axial direction A of the bearing 49, which simultaneously corresponds to the mounting direction A during insertion of the bearing block 51 into the receiving region 49a of the bearing 49. Accordingly, the compensation elements and / or sealing elements 2 extend approximately at right angles to the mounting or axial direction A.

In der Ausführungsform der Figur 2 sind genau vier längsausgerichtete Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1 an dem Lagerbock 51 ausgebildet. Zwei längsausgerichtete Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemtene 1 sind an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen des Lagerbocks 51 angeordnet. Zwei weitere längsausgerichtete Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1 sind an einer dazwischen angeordneten Seitenfläche beabstandet zueinander angeordnet. Die Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1 ragen jeweils von den Seitenflächen des Lagerbocks 51 mit einer vorbestimmten Höhe ab. Gemäß der Figur 1 weisen die Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1 eine gleichschenkelig-dreieckige Form mit einer Spitze in einem Winkel von ca. 30° auf, ähnlich einer Messerschneide.In the embodiment of the FIG. 2 exactly four longitudinally aligned compensating elements and / or sealing elements 1 are formed on the bearing block 51. Two longitudinally aligned compensation elements and / or Dichtelemtene 1 are arranged on two opposite side surfaces of the bearing block 51. Two more longitudinally aligned compensation elements and / or sealing elements 1 are spaced from each other at a side surface arranged therebetween. The compensating elements and / or sealing elements 1 each protrude from the side surfaces of the bearing block 51 with a predetermined height. According to the FIG. 1 the compensating elements and / or sealing elements 1 an isosceles-triangular shape with a tip at an angle of about 30 °, similar to a knife edge.

Weiterhin sind in der Ausführungsform der Figur 2 genau zwei querausgerichtete Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 2 ausgebildet. Die querausgerichteten Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 2 sind an den gleichen Seitenflächen des Lagerbocks 51 ausgebildet, wie die längsausgerichteten Ausgleichselemente und/oder Dichtelemente 1 und erstrecken sich in Umfangsrichtung an die Elemente 1 angrenzend bzw. zwischen den Elementen 1. Dabei sind die Elemente 2 an einem in Axialrichtung A betrachtet hinteren Ende des Lagerbocks 51, welches bei der Montage zuerst in den Aufnahmebereich 49a eingeführt wird, angeordnet. Die Elemente 2 fungieren hier als Dichtlippe zum Abdichten des Verbindungsbereichs im montierten Zustand (siehe Figuren 4 und 5). Gemäß der Ausführungsform der Figur 2 ragen die Elemente 2 quer zu der Axialrichtung A von dem Lagerbock 51 ab. Dabei entspricht in dieser Ausführungsform eine Höhe der Elemente 2 der Höhe der Elemente 1. Das Zwischenlager 50 ist hier als Zwischenlager 50 für das? Planetengetriebe 31 ausgebildet. In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist das Zwischenlager 50 als Hohlrad ausgeführt, beispielsweise mit einer Verzahnung.Furthermore, in the embodiment of the FIG. 2 exactly two transversely aligned compensating elements and / or sealing elements 2 are formed. The transversely aligned compensating elements and / or sealing elements 2 are formed on the same side surfaces of the bearing block 51 as the longitudinally aligned compensating elements and / or sealing elements 1 and extending in the circumferential direction of the elements 1 adjacent or between the elements 1. In this case, the elements 2 on a rear end of the bearing block 51 viewed in the axial direction A, which is first inserted into the receiving area 49 a during assembly. The elements 2 act here as a sealing lip for sealing the connection area in the mounted state (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ). According to the embodiment of the FIG. 2 protrude the elements 2 transversely to the axial direction A of the bearing block 51 from. In this embodiment corresponds to a height of the elements 2, the height of the elements 1. The intermediate storage 50 is here as an intermediate storage 50 for the? Planetary gear 31 is formed. In another embodiment, the intermediate bearing 50 is designed as a ring gear, for example with a toothing.

Die Figur 3 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Ansicht das Zwischenlager 50 mit dem Lagerbock 51 gemäß der Figur 2 mit den Elementen 1 und 2 in Alleinstellung. Hier sind besonders die längsausgerichteten Elemente 1 und die teilweise umlaufenden querausgerichteten Elemente 2 zu erkennen. Die Elemente 1 erstrecken sich längs der Montage- bzw. Axialrichtung A und die zwei Elemente 2 sind quer, genauer senkrecht zu den Elementen 1 und damit quer zur Axialrichtung A ausgerichtet. Dabei Kontaktieren die Elemente 1 die Elemente 2, sodass eine umlaufende Dichtfunktion gewährleistet ist. In dieser Darstellung ist insbesondere die einteilige Ausführung des Lagerbocks 51 mit den Elementen 1 und 2 bzw. die Integration der Elemente 1 und 2 in den Lagerbock 51 gezeigt.The FIG. 3 shows in a perspective view, the intermediate bearing 50 with the bearing block 51 according to the FIG. 2 with the elements 1 and 2 in isolation. Here, in particular, the longitudinally aligned elements 1 and the partially encircling transversely oriented elements 2 can be seen. The elements 1 extend along the mounting or axial direction A and the two elements 2 are transversely, more precisely perpendicular to the elements 1 and thus aligned transversely to the axial direction A. The elements 1 contact the elements 2, so that a circumferential sealing function is ensured. In this illustration, in particular the one-piece design of the bearing block 51 with the elements 1 and 2 or the integration of the elements 1 and 2 in the bearing block 51 is shown.

Die Figur 4 zeigt in einer Querschnittansicht einen Ausschnitt des Zwischenlagers 50 mit dem Lagerbock 50 in einem montierten Zustand, wobei das Lager 49 der elektrischen Maschine 100 teilweise mit dargestellt ist. Das Lager 49 und das Zwischenlager 50 mit dem Lagerbock 51 und den hieran integrierten Elementen 1 und 2 entsprechen der Ausführungsform der Figuren 2 und 3, wobei die Elemente 2 aufgrund der gewählten Querschnittebene nicht dargestellt sind. Gleiche Bauteile sind mit gleichen Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet. Auf eine detaillierte Beschreibung bereits beschriebener Bauteile wird daher verzichtet. Bei der Montage wird zuerst der Hebel 44 (hier nicht gezeigt) in das Lager 49 eingelegt und anschließend das Zwischenlager 50 mit dem Lagerbock 51 eingesetzt. Erfindungsgemäß wird beim Einsetzen des Lagerbocks 51 in den entsprechenden Aufnahmebereich 49a des Lagers 49 mittels der Elemente 1 und 2 ein Spiel zwischen diesen Bauteilen ausgeglichen und zum anderen wird das Lager 49 mittels der Elemente 1 und 2 gegen Verunreinigungen abgedichtet.The FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a portion of the intermediate bearing 50 with the bearing block 50 in an assembled state, wherein the bearing 49 of the electric machine 100 is partially shown. The bearing 49 and the intermediate bearing 50 with the bearing block 51 and the integrated thereon elements 1 and 2 correspond to the Embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3 , wherein the elements 2 are not shown due to the selected cross-sectional plane. The same components are identified by the same reference numerals. A detailed description of components already described is therefore omitted. During assembly, first the lever 44 (not shown here) is inserted into the bearing 49 and then the intermediate bearing 50 is used with the bearing block 51. According to the invention, a clearance between these components is compensated for insertion of the bearing block 51 in the corresponding receiving portion 49a of the bearing 49 by means of the elements 1 and 2 and on the other hand, the bearing 49 is sealed by means of the elements 1 and 2 against contamination.

Um ein Spiel zwischen dem Lagerbock 51 und dem Lager 49 zu verhindern bzw. um Fertigungstoleranzen zwischen diesen Bauteilen auszugleichen, ist die Höhe der Elemente 1 und/oder 2 größer als ein maximal vorhandenes Spiel zwischen diesen Bauteilen. Bei der Montage des Lagers 49 wird der Lagerbock 51 in Axialrichtung A in das Lager 49 eingeführt. Dabei werden die Elemente 1 und/oder 2 teilweise verformt, gestaucht bzw. abgeschabt oder abgerieben, sodass sich deren Höhe verringert und deren Form ändert, insbesondere flacher und breiter wird. Dies entspricht einer Presspassung bzw. einem Kraftschluss der beiden Bauteile. Durch diese Formänderung der Elemente 1 und/oder 2 wird der Lagerbock 51 spielfrei in den Aufnahmeraum des Lagers 49 eingepasst bzw. eingepresst. Die Elemente 1 und/oder 2 bzw. deren Formänderung erfolgt individuell angepasst an die Fertigungstoleranzen dieser Bauteile. Somit erfolgt dieser Spiel- bzw. Toleranzausgleich selbstregulierend und wird ohne zusätzliche Arbeitsschritte bei der Montage durchgeführt.In order to prevent play between the bearing block 51 and the bearing 49 or to compensate for manufacturing tolerances between these components, the height of the elements 1 and / or 2 is greater than a maximum existing clearance between these components. During assembly of the bearing 49, the bearing block 51 is inserted in the axial direction A in the bearing 49. The elements 1 and / or 2 are partially deformed, compressed or scraped off or abraded, so that their height is reduced and their shape changes, in particular flatter and wider. This corresponds to a press fit or a force fit of the two components. By this change in shape of the elements 1 and / or 2, the bearing block 51 is fitted or pressed without play into the receiving space of the bearing 49. The elements 1 and / or 2 or their change in shape is adjusted individually to the manufacturing tolerances of these components. Thus, this clearance or tolerance compensation takes place self-regulating and is carried out without additional steps during assembly.

Weiterhin verformen oder verbiegen sich die quer zur Axialrichtung A angeordneten Elemente 2 (hier aufgrund der gewählten Querschnittebene nicht dargestellt) beim Einführen des Lagerbocks 51 entgegen der Axialrichtung A. Dieses Verbiegen erfolgt so weit, wie dies aufgrund der Toleranzen zwischen den Bauteilen notwendig ist. Aufgrund der Ausrichtung erfolgt hier zu größeren Anteilen eine Verformung als ein Abrieb. Dahingegen erfolgt bei den Elementen umgekehrt ein eherer größerer Abrieb als ein Verformen. Die Elemente 2 fungieren entsprechend zu einem größeren Anteil als Dichtlippen. Somit ist das Lager 49 mit dem eingesetzten Zwischenlager 50 und dem Lagerbock 51 gegen das Eindringen von Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit abgedichtet, sodass sich die Lebensdauer des Starters erhöht. Das Abdichten erfolgt bei der Montage selbsttätig, also ohne zusätzliche Arbeitsschritte, wie beispielsweise ein Vorspannen zusätzlicher Bauteile.Furthermore, the elements 2 arranged transversely to the axial direction A (not shown here on the basis of the selected cross-sectional plane) deform or bend when the bearing block 51 is inserted against the axial direction A. This bending takes place as far as is necessary due to the tolerances between the components. Due to the orientation, deformation takes place here in larger portions than abrasion. On the other hand, in the case of the elements, on the contrary, a higher abrasion occurs rather than a deformation. The elements 2 act accordingly to a greater extent than sealing lips. Thus, the bearing 49 is sealed with the inserted intermediate bearing 50 and the bearing block 51 against the ingress of dirt and moisture, so that increases the life of the starter. The sealing is done automatically during assembly, ie without additional steps, such as a biasing of additional components.

Die Figur 5 zeigt in einer anderen Querschnittansicht das Lager 49 der elektrischen Maschine 100 in dem montierten Zustand gemäß der Figur 4. Die Querschnittebene der Ansicht der Figur 5 ist rechtwinkelig zu der Querschnittebene der Ansicht der Figur 4. Daher sind in dieser Darstellung lediglich die Elemente 1 im Querschnitt dargestellt. Mittels der Elemente 1 wird bei der Montage eine Presspassung des Lagerbocks 51 in dem Lager 49 erzeugt. Das Spiel zwischen diesen Bauteilen kann somit vollständig vermieden werden. Hierdurch ist ein Drehpunkt des in dem Lager 49 bewegbar angeordneten Hebels 44 (hier nicht gezeigt) ortsfest. Eine Verschiebung des Drehpunktes wird mittels der Elemente 1 folglich vermieden. Dies erhöht die Lebensdauer bzw. verringert den Verschleiß des Starters. Der Lagerbock 51 ist in der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 5 mit einer Versteifungsrippe ausgebildet.The FIG. 5 shows in another cross-sectional view, the bearing 49 of the electric machine 100 in the assembled state according to the FIG. 4 , The cross - sectional plane of the view of FIG. 5 is perpendicular to the cross - sectional plane of the view of FIG. 4 , Therefore, only the elements 1 are shown in cross-section in this illustration. By means of the elements 1, a press fit of the bearing block 51 is produced in the bearing 49 during assembly. The game between these components can thus be completely avoided. As a result, a pivot point of the lever 49 movably arranged in the bearing 49 (not shown here) is stationary. A displacement of the fulcrum is thus avoided by means of the elements 1. This increases the service life or reduces the wear of the starter. The bearing block 51 is in the embodiment according to Fig. 5 formed with a stiffening rib.
