Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Nockenwelle, insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeugmotoren, mit einer Außenwelle und einer koaxial in der Außenwelle angeordneten Innenwelle, mit ersten an der Außenwelle fest angeordneten Funktionselementen, mit zweiten Funktionselementen, die drehbar an der Außenwelle angeordnet und drehfest an der Innenwelle befestigt sind und mit einem an die Außenwelle und Innenwelle angeschlossenen Phasensteller zur Verdrehung der Innenwelle gegenüber der Außenwelle, wobei der Phasensteller unter Aufbringung eines Drehmomentes an der Innenwelle befestigt ist.The invention relates to a camshaft, in particular for motor vehicle engines, with an outer shaft and a coaxially arranged in the outer shaft inner shaft, with first on the outer shaft fixedly arranged functional elements, with second functional elements which are rotatably mounted on the outer shaft and rotatably attached to the inner shaft and with a phase adjuster connected to the outer shaft and inner shaft for rotating the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft, wherein the phase adjuster is fastened with the application of a torque to the inner shaft.
Eine gattungsgemäße Nockenwelle ist aus der
Dem
Zumindest ein Teil der ersten Funktionselemente sowie der zweiten Funktionselemente sind Nocken, welche den Einlass bzw. Auslass eines Verbrennungsmotors steuern können. Durch eine Verstellung der an der Innenwelle befestigten Nocken gegenüber den an der Außenwelle befestigten Nocken ist eine variable Steuerung der Ventile des Verbrennungsmotors möglich. So kann beispielsweise last- und drehzahlabhängig das Verhältnis von Einlasszeit und Auslasszeit verändert werden. Die Verdrehung von Innenwelle und Außenwelle erfolgt durch einen Phasensteller, der auch als Phaser bezeichnet wird.At least part of the first functional elements as well as the second functional elements are cams which can control the inlet or outlet of an internal combustion engine. By adjusting the cam attached to the inner shaft relative to the cam attached to the outer shaft, a variable control of the valves of the internal combustion engine is possible. For example, depending on load and speed, the ratio of inlet time and outlet time can be changed. The rotation of the inner shaft and outer shaft is effected by a phaser, which is also referred to as a phaser.
Der Phasensteller umfasst üblicherweise einen mit der Außenwelle verbundenen Stator sowie einen mit der Innenwelle verbundenen Rotor. Möglich ist jedoch auch, dass der Motor drehfest über der Innenwelle und der Rotor mit der Außenwelle verbunden ist. Neben kraft-, form- und/oder stoffschlüssigen Verbindungen sind auch lösbare Verbindungen durch ein Verschrauben bekannt. Die Verschraubung erfolgt dabei üblicherweise mittels einer Zentralschraube, die im fixierten Zustand an einer Stirnseite des Phasenstellers anliegt und in eine Aufnahme der Innenwelle eingreift. Um den Rotor an der Innenwelle mittels der Zentralschraube mit einem vorgegebenen Anzugsmoment befestigen zu können, muss ein dem Anzugsmoment entgegengerichtetes Haltemoment aufgebracht werden. Da die Innenwelle innerhalb der Außenwelle angeordnet ist, wird diese bei dem Festziehen der Zentralschraube an dem gegenüberliegenden Wellenende festgehalten. Hierzu ist in der Praxis ein Montagewerkzeug vorgesehen, welches in eine zugeordnete Aufnahme der Innenwelle eingreift. Es ergibt sich dabei der Nachteil, dass das Anzugsmoment über die gesamte Länge der Innenwelle übertragen wird, die entsprechend in einem erheblichen Maße tordiert wird. Je nach Länge der Innenwelle kann diese Torsion so stark sein, dass die dem Phasensteller entfernt liegenden Nocken oder anderen Funktionselemente, welche an der Innenwelle befestigt sind, an einer Endposition anschlagen. Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass die der Innenwelle zugeordneten Funktionselemente durch Verbindungselemente befestigt sind, welche sich durch Schlitze der Außenwelle hindurch erstrecken. Die Länge der Schlitze wird dabei von dem vorgesehenen Verstellweg zwischen Innenwelle und Außenwelle vorgegeben.The phase adjuster usually comprises a stator connected to the outer shaft and a rotor connected to the inner shaft. However, it is also possible that the motor is rotatably connected via the inner shaft and the rotor is connected to the outer shaft. In addition to positive, positive and / or cohesive connections are also known releasable connections by screwing. The screwing is usually carried out by means of a central screw, which rests in the fixed state on an end face of the phaser and engages in a receptacle of the inner shaft. In order to fasten the rotor to the inner shaft by means of the central screw with a predetermined tightening torque, a holding torque opposite to the tightening torque must be applied. Since the inner shaft is disposed within the outer shaft, this is held in the tightening of the central screw at the opposite end of the shaft. For this purpose, an assembly tool is provided in practice, which engages in an associated receptacle of the inner shaft. This results in the disadvantage that the tightening torque is transmitted over the entire length of the inner shaft, which is accordingly twisted to a considerable extent. Depending on the length of the inner shaft, this torsion can be so strong that the cams remote from the phaser or other functional elements which are fastened to the inner shaft strike at an end position. It should be noted that the inner shaft associated functional elements are fastened by connecting elements which extend through slots of the outer shaft. The length of the slots is determined by the intended adjustment between the inner shaft and outer shaft.
Grundsätzlich besteht das Problem, dass durch die Torsion der gesamten Innenwelle die Gefahr einer erhöhten Ungenauigkeit besteht. So kann Reibung oder ein Verklemmen dazu führen, dass nicht das gesamte aufgebrachte Drehmoment auch tatsächlich an der Schraubverbindung wirkt. Insbesondere hinsichtlich erhöhter Anforderungen an die Dokumentation des Produktionsprozesses sind die beschriebenen Unsicherheiten nachteilig. Zusätzlich führt die Torsion der gesamten Innenwelle auch zu einer Verlängerung des bei einem Festziehen zurückzulegenden Winkelbereichs.Basically there is the problem that the risk of increased inaccuracy due to the torsion of the entire inner shaft. Thus, friction or jamming can lead to the fact that not all the applied torque actually acts on the screw connection. In particular with regard to increased requirements for the documentation of the production process, the described uncertainties are disadvantageous. In addition, the torsion of the entire inner shaft also leads to an extension of the angle range to be covered during tightening.
Die
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Befestigung des Phasenstellers an der Innenwelle durch das Aufbringen eines Drehmomentes die tordierte Länge der Innenwelle zu verringern und damit die Genauigkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit zu erhöhen.Against this background, the invention has for its object to reduce the twisted length of the inner shaft in an attachment of the phaser on the inner shaft by applying a torque and thus to increase the accuracy and reproducibility.
Ausgehend von einer Nockenwelle mit den eingangs beschriebenen Merkmalen wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass eines der drehfest mit der Innenwelle verbundenen zweiten Funktionselemente außerhalb einer Funktionsfläche mantelseitige Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen aufweist. Bei dem mit den Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen versehenen zweiten Funktionselement kann es sich um einen der mit der Innenwelle verbundenen Nocken, ein Sensorrad, ein Lagerelement oder ein Lagerring handeln. Grundsätzlich ist auch möglich, ein zusätzliches Teil vorzusehen, welches lediglich das Gegenhalten bei der Befestigung des Phasenstellers ermöglichen soll.Based on a camshaft with the features described above, the object is achieved in that one of the non-rotatably connected to the inner shaft second functional elements outside a functional surface has shell-side tool receiving surfaces. The second functional element provided with the tool receiving surfaces may be one of the cams connected to the inner shaft, a sensor wheel, a bearing element or a bearing ring. In principle, it is also possible to provide an additional part, which should only enable counteracting in the attachment of the phaser.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird ein zweites Funktionselement genutzt, welches nahe des Phasenstellers liegt, damit eine möglichst geringe toridale Länge erreicht wird. Grundsätzlich besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, mehrere Funktionselemente mit Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen zu versehen. Wenn die Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen beispielsweise an einem Nocken gebildet sind, brauchen keine unterschiedlichen Nocken montiert werden, wenn alle mit Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen versehen sind.Appropriately, a second functional element is used, which is close to the phaser, so that the smallest possible toroidal length is achieved. In principle, however, it is also possible to provide several functional elements with tool receiving surfaces. For example, if the tool receiving surfaces are formed on a cam, different cams need not be mounted when all are provided with tool receiving surfaces.
Bei verstellbaren Nockenwellen mit einer Innenwelle und einer Außenwelle ist es bekannt, dass die mit der Innenwelle verbundenen Funktionselemente einerseits eine Funktionsfläche und andererseits einen axial dazu versetzten Ringbund aufweisen, wobei an dem Ringbund auch die Befestigung der Funktionselemente mit der Innenwelle mittels eines Verbindungselementes, beispielsweise mit einem Stift, erfolgt. Die Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen können dann auf besonders einfache Weise an dem Ringbund erzeugt werden.In the case of adjustable camshafts with an inner shaft and an outer shaft, it is known that the functional elements connected to the inner shaft have on the one hand a functional surface and on the other hand an axially offset annular collar, wherein the fastening of the functional elements to the inner shaft by means of a connecting element, for example with a pen, done. The tool receiving surfaces can then be generated in a particularly simple manner on the annular collar.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen als Schlüsselflächen zur Aufnahme eines Werkzeugschlüssels ausgebildet. Beispielsweise können zwei an dem Umfang gegenüberliegende Flächen, ein Vieleck oder auch eine anders gestaltete Profilform mit Zähnen, oder Polygonform oder dergleichen vorgesehen sein. Bei der Befestigung des Phasenstellers an der Innenwelle wird ein entsprechendes Montagewerkzeug mit den Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen in Eingriff gebracht und dort fixiert. Die bei dem Festziehen auftretenden Drehmomente werden so von dem Montagewerkzeug aufgenommen.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tool receiving surfaces are formed as key surfaces for receiving a tool key. For example, two circumferentially opposite surfaces, a polygon or a differently shaped profile shape with teeth, or polygonal shape or the like may be provided. When attaching the phaser on the inner shaft, a corresponding mounting tool is brought into engagement with the tool receiving surfaces and fixed there. The torques occurring during tightening are thus absorbed by the mounting tool.
Insbesondere ist es möglich, dass bei dem Festhalten des mit den Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen versehenen Funktionselementes die auftretenden Drehmomente aufgenommen werden. Durch einen Vergleich mit den an dem Phasensteller aufgebrachten Anzugsmomenten kann so sichergestellt werden, dass die Befestigung nicht durch ein Klemmen oder dergleichen beeinträchtigt ist.In particular, it is possible for the torques occurring to be absorbed when holding the functional element provided with the tool receiving surfaces. By comparison with the tightening torques applied to the phase adjuster, it is thus possible to ensure that the fastening is not impaired by jamming or the like.
Der Phasensteller weist ein mit der Außenwelle verbundenes Bauteil und ein mit der Innenwelle verbundenes Bauteil auf, wobei die Verbindung mit der Innenwelle zweckmäßigerweise durch eine Zentralschraube erfolgt. Das mit der Innenwelle verbundene Bauteil ist bevorzugt der Rotor des Phasenstellers. Gegenstand der Erfindung ist auch ein Funktionselement für eine Nockenwelle, insbesondere ein Nocken, mit einer Nabe, einer mantelseitigen Funktionsfläche und einem gegenüber der Funktionsfläche entlang der Achse der Nabe versetzten Ringbund, wobei an dem Ringbund die zuvor beschriebenen Werkzeugaufnahmeflächen gebildet sind.The phase adjuster has a component connected to the outer shaft and a component connected to the inner shaft, wherein the connection with the inner shaft is expediently effected by a central screw. The component connected to the inner shaft is preferably the rotor of the phaser. The subject matter of the invention is also a functional element for a camshaft, in particular a cam, with a hub, a shell-side functional surface and an annular collar offset from the functional surface along the axis of the hub, wherein the above-described tool receiving surfaces are formed on the annular collar.
