- FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a camshaft according to a prior art
- - Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view of a camshaft according to the invention
- FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a camshaft according to the invention and a tool for the manufacture of said camshaft;
- FIG. 4 is an assembled perspective view of a camshaft according to the invention and a tool for the manufacture of said camshaft;
- FIG. 5 is an overall sectional view showing second and third stages of a method of manufacturing the camshaft for an engine according to the invention
- FIG. 6 is a detailed sectional view showing the third step of the manufacturing process of the cylinder head for an engine according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a tubular camshaft 10 for a motor vehicle engine engine produced according to a state of the art.
- the shaft 10 comprises at least one bore 12 of oil circulation of a first diameter "D12" determined, which is supplied with oil at a first end 14 of the shaft 10 via a preferably coaxial feed port 16 through which oil is injected into the shaft 10.
- the oil flow "H” has been represented by arrows in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- a convergent 17 may be arranged at the inlet of the orifice 16 to channel the flow of oil "H" towards the bore 12.
- the bore 12 extends substantially along the length of the shaft 10.
- the shaft 10 comprises a plurality of radial ducts 18 which are distributed along the length of the shaft 10, which pass through a tubular wall 20 of the shaft 10, and which put the interior of the bore 12 into communication with the outside of the shaft 10.
- a conventional solution is to filter the oil upstream of the camshaft 10, but this solution remains expensive.
- the invention proposes to take advantage of the rotational movement of the camshaft 10 to provide a camshaft whose oil is filtered by centrifugation.
- the invention provides a camshaft 10 of the type described above characterized in that the bore 10 is closed at a second end 26 opposite the first end 14 and in that each radial duct 18 has inside the bore 12 an inlet end 28 which is arranged according to a second diameter "D 2 8" smaller than the first diameter "D12", to allow, during the rotation of the shaft 10, to form a weir capable of allowing the evacuation of the oil "H” by centrifugation and the retention of impurities in the bore 12.
- the rotation of the shaft 10 makes it possible to subject the impurities 22 to a centrifugal force which plates them against the inner wall 20 of the bore 12.
- This wall arranged according to the diameter "D12" is arranged behind the end 28 of the ducts 18, so that the impurities 24 can not enter the ducts 18.
- the bore 12 of the shaft 10 fills with oil "H” until the level of the oil film on the inner wall of the bore 12 reaches the diameter "D 28 ".
- the surplus oil “H” is then discharged through the ducts 18 while the impurities 24 are confined against the inner wall of the bore 12.
- the diameters of said discharge holes may be independent of one another: the oil "H" surplus beyond the threshold defined by the differences between the diameter of the inner wall of the bore and the second diameter "D28", passes over the inlet end 28 of the ducts to be uniformly discharged and lubricate the organs connected to said ducts. It is not necessary either to opt for very small diameters of the discharge holes, nor to make diameters dependent on one another to regulate the evacuation of the oil.
- any embodiment of the ducts 18 adapted to provide an end 28 of the ducts 18 arranged according to the diameter "D 2 8" may be suitable for the proper implementation of the invention.
- camshaft 10 could, as illustrated in FIG. 2, have a plurality of internal bosses 30 that project inside the bore 12, each having a bore 32 passing through the tubular wall 20 of the housing. shaft to form the ducts 18 and of which the inlet end 28 is arranged in the second diameter "D 2 8" than the first diameter "Dis”.

- any means for closing the bore 12 may be suitable for the implementation of the invention.
- the bore 12 could be blind.
- the second end 26 of the camshaft comprises a bore 36 closed by a removable cap 38, as shown in Figure 2.
- the bore 36 can be confused with the diameter of the bore 12.
- This configuration makes it possible to determine a method of cleaning such a tubular camshaft 10 in order to eliminate the impurities that would have been deposited therein.
- this cleaning method comprises at least a first step during which the stopper 38 is removed, a second step during which the interior of the bore 12 is cleaned, and a third step during of which we replace the cap 38.
- a shaft 10 comprising ducts 18 constituted in part by tubes 34 requires a crimping of the tubes 34 in the holes 32 to ensure that the end 28 of said tubes 34 is well arranged according to the diameter "D 2 8" -
- such a method comprises a first step of introducing an abutment element 40 inside the bore 12, then a second step of introducing the tubes 34 in the holes 32 externally to the camshaft 10, and finally a third crimping step during which the tubes 34 are repulsed by an element 42 in the holes 32 to be crushed against the stop member 40 to be crimped in the camshaft 10.
- This tool comprises, as has been seen, a stop element 40 intended to be inserted inside the bore 12 and a biasing element 42 intended to push at least one tube 34 into a corresponding radial bore 32 up to a stop position against the abutment member 40.
- the biasing element 42 comprises at least one body 44 from which extends a tooth 46 of a cylindrical section with a diameter corresponding to the inside diameter of a tube 34 and a length greater than that of said tube 34, adapted to allow said tooth 46 to receive a tube 34 and to have a free end 48 projecting out of the tube, as shown more particularly in Figure 6.
- the stop element 40 comprises at least one hole 50 of a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the free end of a tooth 46,
- the biasing element 42 can push the tube 34 into a hole 32 of the cam shaft, then the tooth 46 is in a hole 50 of the abutment member 40 arranged opposite the bore 32. In FIG. continuing the bias, the tube 34 is crimped between the biasing element 42 and the abutment member 40.
- the tooling could make it possible to carry out in one pass all the crimps of the camshaft 10.
- the biasing element could comprise a comb comprising as many teeth 46 as the camshaft has holes 32, each tooth 46 being of a cylindrical section of a diameter corresponding to the internal diameter of a tube 34 and of a length greater than that of said tube 34 adapted to allow said tooth 46 to receive a tube 46 and to have a free end 48 projecting from the tube 34.
- the stop element 40 would then have as many holes 50 as the camshaft 10 has holes 32, each hole 50 being of a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the free end 48 of a tooth 46 of the comb.
- the comb would be able to simultaneously push all the tubes 34 in the holes 32 of the camshaft 10, then the teeth 48 of the comb would be received in the abutment member 40 and the tubes 34 would be crimped between the comb and the abutment member 40.
- the invention thus makes it possible to propose a camshaft 10 forming a centrifugal oil filter and a method of simple and economical manufacture of said camshaft 10.
