Definitions
- the present invention relates to a worm wheel for an electromechanical power steering system for mounting on a shaft, wherein the worm wheel has an insert, the
- Training a sprocket is encapsulated with a plastic.
- transmissions are required which transmit an auxiliary torque from an electric motor to a steering shaft.
- the electric motor drives a worm, which engages with a rotatably mounted on the steering shaft worm wheel.
- the worm wheel usually comprises at least two component components, namely an insert, which is arranged rotationally fixed on a shaft to be supported, and a plastic toothed ring, which is sprayed onto the insert.
- the plastic sprocket makes it possible to keep gear running noise low and to provide low tooth flank wear over the entire service life.
- the insert and ring gear are made of either the same or different plastics.
- EP 1 780 445 A1 shows a toothed wheel with an insert which has a radial elevation, this insert being supplemented by a toothed ring formed by extrusion molding.
- Disadvantage of the solution is the radial arrangement of the survey, whereby unfavorable flow conditions in the plastic arise during injection, which can lead to an inhomogeneous structure.
- the DE 10 2012 102 778 A1 and DE 10 2012 102 780 A1 show a gear with a ring gear, said ring gear is formed either by a Schirmanguss or by a continuous casting.
- a disadvantage of these solutions is the high technical complexity to comply with high tolerance requirements and the problem, a sufficiently high
- worm wheel for an electromechanical power steering system comprising an insert which is encapsulated with a plastic to form a ring gear, wherein the ring gear is arranged concentrically to a Schneckenradachse and on its outer surface has a circumferential toothing, wherein the ring gear at least one Anspritzabêt in which at least one injection point is arranged and which has a first material thickness measured in the direction of the worm wheel axis, and the ring gear comprises at least one backflow section which has a material thickness reduced relative to the injection section measured in the direction of the worm wheel axis, wherein the
- Backflow section of reduced material thickness between an injection point and the outer surface of the circumferential toothing is arranged.
- a basic body of the worm wheel is understood, which is encapsulated to form the worm wheel with a ring gear with a plastic and further connected to a shaft, such as a steering shaft to a moment, which in the
- a Anspritzabrough is a section understood in which at least one
- a backflow section is understood to mean a section of material of a reduced thickness that is different from a Anspritzabschnitt.
- the material thickness of the ring gear in the injection section and in the back pressure section is in the direction of the Schneckenradachse between each of the outer surface of the worm wheel, i. of the sprocket, and the surface of the sprocket adjacent to the insert, i. the surface of the insert, measured.
- the plastic Due to the fact that, to form the sprocket during the spraying of the plastic onto the insert, the plastic has at least one backflow section with a reduced material thickness between one Having injection point and the outer surface of the circumferential toothing, a more uniform formation of the ring gear, in particular of the teeth, can be achieved. Accordingly, the plastic is applied in liquid form to the insert and partly through the
- the plastic melt first flows into the Anspritzabêt through the injection point.
- the plastic is forced to pass the at least one backflow section of reduced material thickness.
- the at least one backflow section of reduced material thickness which acts as a backflow element, forms a constriction of the cavity between the insert and the tool, viewed in the radial direction.
- spraying the plastic is meant that the plastic is introduced in the form of a plastic melt in a tool.
- Sprocket can be reduced. This results in improved strength properties of the ring gear, which are reflected in the outer shape of the worm wheel with the axially thicker and axially thinner segment. In other words, a more homogeneous plastic structure with corresponding strengths is achieved by the predetermined shape, which otherwise can only be achieved by means of comparatively complicated other methods.
- the uniform distribution of the plastic to form the sprocket allows a reduction in the occurrence of concentricity deviations or rolling jumps.
- the acoustic properties of the ring gear can be improved and by-effects, such as an increased torque can be avoided.
- Plastic material is present, which is then used together to form the teeth.
- a worm wheel for an electromechanical power steering system will preferably suggest that comprises an insert, which is encapsulated with a plastic to form a ring gear, wherein the ring gear is arranged concentrically to a worm gear, wherein according to the invention the ring gear comprises at least one section, which in the direction the worm wheel axis has reduced material thickness, wherein the portion of reduced material thickness is formed by at least two backflow elements for damming the plastic during the encapsulation.
- the insert has at least one backflow element, which protrudes in the direction of the worm wheel axis, for the representation of the backflow section with reduced material thickness.
- the at least one backflow element forms a constriction of the cavity between the insert and the tool, viewed in the radial direction.
- This area thus forms the backflow section of reduced material thickness between an injection point and the outer surface of the circumferential toothing of the finished ring gear. Due to the reduced distance between the insert and the tool, which on the at least one
- the insert has at least one back-up element, the uniform distribution of the plastic in the formation of the ring gear can be favored by the geometry of the insert. Accordingly, the depositor has an area, namely in
- the insert preferably has the at least one backstop element projecting in the direction of the worm wheel axis.
- the surface of a tool, which lies opposite the insert and together with it forms the cavity for forming the ring gear, can be flat. Accordingly, it requires no further modification of the tool for backflow of the plastic using the backwater element.
- the sprocket has at least one indentation in the direction of the worm wheel, which is formed by a tool for producing the
- Sprocket which has at least one in the direction of Schneckenradachse on the insert to projecting backflow element, to represent the backwater with a reduced material thickness.
- the tool provides a Anspritzabêt which is closer to the Schneckenradachse and which serves to receive the plastic.
- This Anspritzabrough forms the portion of increased material thickness of the plastic material after encapsulation.
- the tool provides the at least one backwater element which protrudes from the tool in the direction of the worm wheel axis onto the insert and thereby reduces the distance between the tool and the insert.
- This section forms the backflow section of reduced material thickness of the plastic material after encapsulation.
- the advantageous effects resulting from the backlogging of the plastic can thus be achieved independently of the geometry of the insert.
- the surface of the sprocket has at the point at which the at least one backwater has created in the production, a indentation or indentation.
- the indentation or indentation correspondingly has the negative shape of the at least one backflow element.
- Worm wheel axis is, wherein the material thickness of the backpressure formed in the back pressure section is constant or variable and are preferably formed in a center of the backflow section least and starting from there in the circumferential direction gradually increasing.
- the radius of the backflow section of reduced material thickness results from a radius which has the at least one backflow element.
- the plastic which is sprayed onto a radial region, the closer to the
- a curved backwater element causes the backflow section of reduced material thickness of the ring gear, which as a result of the injection of the plastic is formed, having almost a constant distance in the radial direction to the worm wheel axis of the worm wheel.
- flow paths or flow times of the plastic of almost the same length result in the formation of the toothed rim.
- the curved configuration of the at least one backflow element allows almost equally long flow paths or flow times for the plastic of the
- the circumferentially changing material thickness of the backflow section of reduced material thickness is due to a changing height of the at least one backwater element. This results in the production of the ring gear to a more uniform
- the plastic which is generally distributed from at least one injection point on the insert, has to travel different distances from the injection point to get to the outer peripheral portion of the ring gear.
- the different height of the arranged in the circumferential direction backwater element favors despite varying length flow paths a nearly uniform propagation of a flow front of the plastic.
- the different height of the at least one backwater element leads to a different distance between the insert and the tool in the region of the backwater element.
- the at least one return element such that the smallest flow path of the plastic must pass radially outwardly towards the region of the teeth of the ring gear the highest point of the backwater and the longest flow path of the plastic radially outward to the region of Teeth of the ring gear must pass the lowest point of at least one backwater element.
- different lengths of flow paths, which the plastic from an injection point, which is closer to the center axis of the worm wheel, also called Schneckenradachse is compensated towards the outer peripheral portion of the ring gear, so that the plastic with a nearly uniformly spreading flow front distributed to form the sprocket.
- a maximum long flow path from the injection point of the plastic towards an outer peripheral region of the toothed ring to be formed does not have to pass through a backflow element and, for example, runs past it.
- the uniform distribution of the plastic for the formation of the ring gear can be positively influenced by the geometry of the at least one backwater element, in particular by its height.
- the backflow section of reduced material thickness formed by the at least one backflow element is a circular ring or a circular ring section, which is arranged concentrically to the worm wheel axis. This makes it possible to achieve a symmetrical design of the backflow element and to achieve even more uniform propagation of the plastic flow front.
- the insert has radially inwardly each through the at least one
- Backstop formed backflow section of reduced material thickness at least one injection point for spraying the plastic, wherein the at least one injection point is arranged centrally to the backstop formed by the at least one backwater of reduced material thickness. Since the backflow section of reduced material thickness is formed by a backpressure element, it is ensured that the flow path of the plastic extends to the edge region of the toothed ring to be formed via the at least one backflow element. In the event that a plurality of backflow elements are provided and for each backpressure an injection point is provided, each backpressure element may be adapted to the respective injection point.
- each backwater element may be shaped with respect to height, curvature, and the like to match a more uniformly propagating flow front of the plastic radially outwardly toward the region of the teeth of the ring gear to a corresponding injection point. Due to the central arrangement of the injection point is a uniform propagation of the flow front of the plastic after the backwater element radially outward possible.
- the plastic can thus, after it has passed the at least one backwater element, spread symmetrically with respect to the center of the backwater element and thus contribute to the improved homogeneity of the plastic structure in the ring gear.
- an injection section of increased material thickness arranged radially inwards relative to the backflow section of reduced material thickness is provided.
- the plastic during encapsulation may first flow around the insert before it flows into the region of the teeth.
- the insert comprises radially inwardly to the at least one backflow element a radially encircling or subsegmented groove for receiving the plastic during encapsulation, wherein the groove preferably forms a Anspritzabrough increased material thickness of the sprocket.
- the plastic applied to the insert can be evenly distributed in front of the at least one backflow element. Accordingly, the plastic, for example in the form of a free jet, first passes into the groove arranged on the insert and begins to accumulate on the backstop element after the plastic has been distributed in the groove.
- the groove may be arranged in at least one sub-segment, which corresponds for example to the length of the at least one backflow element, or annularly around the center axis of the worm wheel in the insert.
- the plastic can accumulate evenly over the entire length of the at least one backwater element before it over this time in the radial direction outwards to the area the trainee teeth of the sprocket flows.
- the uniform distribution of the plastic for the formation of the ring gear is additionally facilitated by the provision of a circumferential or divided into sub-segments groove. Since the flow front of the plastic, from the groove, which runs almost parallel to the at least one backwater element, forms, it is possible to form the at least one backwater element with a constant height. Overall, due to a uniform distribution of the plastic before it accumulates on the at least one backwater element, as well as a uniform distribution of the plastic after it has passed the at least one backwater element, a sprocket with an approximately homogeneous plastic structure are formed.
- the material thickness of the An mousseabitess is increased
- Material thickness in an inner radial region closer to the Schneckenradachse greater than a material thickness of the formed by the at least one backwater reservoir backflow section of reduced material thickness.
- the mechanical properties of the worm wheel and in particular those of the ring gear can be determined. If the material thickness in the radial direction increases toward the outside, the ring gear is, and
- the teeth of the ring gear more strongly influenced by the mechanical properties of the plastic, which serves to form the ring gear, as if the material thickness is kept constantly low in the radial direction to the outside.
- mechanical properties such as the stiffness of the worm wheel, are essentially defined by the material of the insert.
- the material thickness of the Anspritzabitess increased material thickness in an inner radial region closer to the Schneckenradachse is preferably three times as large as the material thickness of the formed by the backwater condenser backflow section of reduced material thickness.

- the backwater element is arranged on the insert.
- the insert has a radial area which serves to receive the plastic and is located closer to a worm wheel axis of the worm wheel. Adjacent thereto in the radial direction, the insert has at least one backstop element projecting in the axial direction.
- the surface of a tool, which lies opposite the insert and together with it forms the cavity for forming the ring gear, can be flat. Accordingly, it requires no further

- backwater elements 42 may have a varying height. Such backwater elements 42 are shown on the insert 40 in FIG.
- the backflow elements 42 each have a highest point in the middle and fall to their ends in
- Flow path of the plastic is in communication, unfold a maximum backflow effect.
- the backflow effect at a point of a backflow element 42 is therefore the smaller, the further the point of the backflow element 42 of the Center of the backwater element 42 is removed. This makes it possible for the plastic flowing out from the injection points 44 to circulate almost simultaneously into the outer edge region of the insert 40 to form the toothed ring 48. Due to the uniform filling for the formation of the ring gear 48, a particularly homogeneous plastic structure can be produced.
- FIG. 10 shows a sectional view through part of the insert 40, which is received in a tool 5.
- the tool 5 consists of an upper tool 50 and a lower tool 52, wherein the upper tool 50 in addition to a sprue 54 and a backwater element 56 has.
- the backwater element 56 protrudes in the axial direction of the insert 40 and reduces the distance between the upper tool 50 and the insert 40.
- the flow path of the sprayed-on plastic is marked by arrows in FIG.
- the plastic hits through the sprue 54 on the injection point 44 of the insert and is on the
- Backflow element 46 which narrows the cavity, accumulated. Subsequently, the plastic flows through the constricted region of the cavity between the backflow element 56 of the upper tool 50 and the insert 40 toward the outer peripheral portion of the insert 40 to form a tooth of the ring gear 48.
- Figure 1 1 shows a partial view of the insert 40, on which the backwater elements 56 of the upper tool are indicated.
- the flow paths of the plastic are indicated by arrows.
- the dashed arrows represent the flow paths of the plastic, starting from the injection points 44 via the back pressure elements 56 toward the peripheral region of the
- the solid arrows represent the flow paths of the plastic, starting from the injection points 44 along between the backwater elements 56 and the flow restriction 47 toward an outer peripheral region for forming the ring gear 48, is.
