Die
Abhängig von der Bauform des Ventiltriebs und der Nockenwellen sind axial fest angeordnete Nockenelemente erforderlich, und zugleich soll die Nockenwelle axial verschiebliche Nockenelemente aufweisen, die beispielsweise auf Schiebeelementen ausgebildet sind. Die Schiebeelemente werden dabei zur Bildung der axial festen Nockenelemente mit der Zahnwelle verstiftet, und es kann beispielsweise ein Stift in einer Querrichtung durch die Zahnwelle und durch das Trägerrohr des Schiebeelementes hindurchgeführt werden. Damit wird das Schiebeelement axial auf der Zahnwelle fixiert, während beispielsweise benachbarte Schiebeelemente weiterhin axial beweglich auf der Zahnwelle aufgenommen bleiben.Depending on the design of the valve train and the camshaft axially fixed cam elements are required, and at the same time the camshaft should have axially displaceable cam elements, which are formed for example on sliding elements. The sliding elements are pinned to form the axially fixed cam elements with the toothed shaft, and it can For example, a pin to be passed in a transverse direction through the gear shaft and through the support tube of the sliding element. Thus, the sliding element is fixed axially on the toothed shaft, while, for example, adjacent sliding elements continue to be accommodated axially movable on the toothed shaft.
Nachteilhafterweise ist eine Verstiftung der Trägerrohre auf der Zahnwelle aufwendig und erfordert eine entsprechende Einpassung der Verstiftung. Weiterhin sitzen die Schiebeelemente im späteren Betrieb der Nockenwelle immer auf dem gleichen Abschnitt der Zahnwelle auf, wodurch sich ein größeres Radialspiel ausbilden kann und wodurch die Rundlaufeigenschaften der Schiebeelemente auf der Zahnwelle weiter verschlechtert werden.Disadvantageously, a pinning of the carrier tubes on the toothed shaft is complicated and requires a corresponding adaptation of the pinning. Furthermore, the sliding elements always sit in the subsequent operation of the camshaft on the same portion of the toothed shaft, whereby a larger radial play can form and whereby the concentricity of the sliding elements on the toothed shaft are further deteriorated.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Weiterbildung einer Nockenwelle mit wenigstens einem axial fixierten Schiebeelement auf einer Zahnwelle, wobei die axiale Fixierung einfach ausgestaltet werden soll. Insbesondere soll eine Rest-Beweglichkeit eines axial fixierten Schiebeelementes auf der Zahnwelle vermieden werden.The object of the invention is the development of a camshaft with at least one axially fixed sliding element on a toothed shaft, wherein the axial fixation is to be designed easily. In particular, a residual mobility of an axially fixed sliding element on the toothed shaft should be avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einer Nockenwelle gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 in Verbindung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved on the basis of a camshaft according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung schließt die technische Lehre ein, dass wenigstens eines der Schiebeelemente zur axialen Fixierung mit der Zahnwelle einen in Axialrichtung ausgebildeten Formschluss aufweist, der durch wenigstens eine Verstemmung zwischen dem Schiebeelement und der Zahnwelle erzeugt ist.The invention includes the technical teaching that at least one of the sliding elements for axial fixation with the toothed shaft has a form-fitting formed in the axial direction, which is produced by at least one caulking between the sliding element and the toothed shaft.
Die Erfindung geht von dem allgemeinen Gedanken aus, einen Formschluss zwischen dem Schiebeelement und der Zahnwelle herzustellen, der das Schiebeelement in Axialrichtung auf der Zahnwelle festsetzt. Die Verstemmung kann 1-fach oder mehrfach zwischen dem Schiebeelement und der Zahnwelle vorgesehen sein, und die Verstemmung beschreibt jede Form einer plastischen, bleibenden Verformung eines Materialabschnittes des Trägerrohres, durch die der Formschluss mit der Zahnwelle gebildet wird. Die Form, die geometrische Ausbildung und die Größe der Verstemmung ist dabei durch den Begriff der Verstemmung selbst nicht eingeschränkt. Beispielsweise kann auch ein vorbereiteter Materialabschnitt, beispielsweise eine Zunge, eine Lasche oder dergleichen, am ersten Fügeteil, also am Schiebeelement oder an der Zahnwelle ausgebildet sein, der oder die gegen den jeweils anderen Fügeteil verbogen wird. Im Ergebnis wird eine einfache, kostenminimale und leicht ausführbare Verbindung zwischen dem Schiebeelement und der Zahnwelle geschaffen, und auch nur minimale Bewegungen des Schiebeelementes auf der Zahnwelle werden durch die wenigstens eine Verstemmung vermieden. Insbesondere kann sich kein Spiel zwischen dem Schiebeelement und der Zahnwelle aufbauen, und die Außenverzahnung der Zahnwelle muss nicht eine Presspassung oder eine Übergangspassung mit der Innenverzahnung des Schiebeelementes bilden.The invention is based on the general idea to produce a positive connection between the sliding element and the toothed shaft, which fixes the sliding element in the axial direction on the toothed shaft. The caulking can be 1 or more times between the sliding element and the toothed shaft be provided, and the caulking describes any form of plastic, permanent deformation of a material portion of the support tube through which the positive connection is formed with the toothed shaft. The shape, the geometric design and the size of the caulking is not limited by the concept of caulking itself. For example, a prepared material portion, such as a tongue, a tab or the like, may be formed on the first joining part, ie on the sliding element or on the toothed shaft, which is bent against the respective other joining part. As a result, a simple, cost-minimal and easily executable connection between the sliding element and the toothed shaft is provided, and even minimal movements of the sliding element on the toothed shaft are avoided by the at least one caulking. In particular, no play between the sliding element and the toothed shaft can build up, and the external toothing of the toothed shaft does not have to form a press fit or a transition fit with the internal toothing of the sliding element.
Die Verstemmung kann am Schiebeelement oder an der Zahnwelle vorgenommen werden. Beispielsweise kann die Zahnwelle eine an wenigstens einer Axialposition ausgebildete Unterbrechung der Außenverzahnung aufweisen, in die ein abschnittsweiser Materialteil des Schiebeelementes eingestemmt ist und/oder es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Schiebeelement eine Aufnahmegeometrie aufweist, in die ein abschnittsweiser Materialteil der Zahnwelle eingestemmt ist.The caulking can be done on the sliding element or on the toothed shaft. For example, the toothed shaft may have an interruption of the external toothing formed at at least one axial position, in which a section-wise material part of the sliding element is caulked and / or it can be provided that the sliding element has a receiving geometry into which a section-wise material part of the toothed shaft is caulked.
Mit besonderem Vorteil kann die Zahnwelle eine an wenigstens einer Axialposition ausgebildete Unterbrechung der Außenverzahnung aufweisen, in die ein abschnittsweiser Materialanteil des Schiebeelementes und insbesondere des Trägerrohres eingestemmt wird. Die Unterbrechung kann mit besonderem Vorteil als umlaufende Nut in der Außenverzahnung ausgebildet sein, und die Nut kann eine Tiefe aufweisen, die der Tiefe der Verzahnung entspricht. Beispielsweise kann der Nutgrund einen Radius aufweisen, der mit dem Radius des Zahnfußkreises der Außenverzahnung der Zahnwelle übereinstimmt. Alternativ kann die Unterbrechung auch gebildet werden, indem einzelne Zähne der Außenverzahnung die Unterbrechung aufweisen, und in die Unterbrechung kann schließlich der abschnittsweise Materialteil des Trägerrohres eingestemmt werden.With particular advantage, the toothed shaft may have an interruption of the external toothing formed at at least one axial position into which a section-wise material portion of the sliding element and in particular of the carrier tube is caulked. The interruption may be formed with particular advantage as a circumferential groove in the external toothing, and the groove may have a depth corresponding to the depth of the toothing. For example, the groove base may have a radius which coincides with the radius of the Zahnfußkreises the outer toothing of the toothed shaft. Alternatively, the interruption can also be formed by individual teeth of the external teeth having the interruption, and in the interruption, the section-wise material part of the support tube can finally be caulked.
Der abschnittsweise Materialteil ist vorzugsweise am äußeren Rand des Trägerrohres gebildet, dieser kann jedoch auch beabstandet vom äußeren Rand ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise benachbart zur Setzstelle eines Nockenelementes auf dem Trägerrohr.The section-wise material part is preferably formed on the outer edge of the support tube, but this may also be formed spaced from the outer edge, for example, adjacent to the setting point of a cam member on the support tube.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Nockenwelle kann das Trägerrohr wenigstens einen endseitigen Abschnitt mit einer verringerten Rohrwanddicke aufweisen. Dabei kann die Verstemmung im Bereich des endseitigen Abschnittes ausgebildet sein, so dass der abschnittsweise Materialteil in diesem Bereich der verringerten Rohrwanddicke liegt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the camshaft according to the invention, the support tube may have at least one end-side section with a reduced tube wall thickness. In this case, the caulking can be formed in the region of the end-side section, so that the section-wise material part lies in this region of the reduced pipe wall thickness.
Mit weiterem Vorteil können auf dem Umfang des Trägerrohres verteilt wenigstens zwei, vorzugsweise wenigstens drei und besonders bevorzugt vier Verstemmungen in eine Unterbrechung der Außenverzahnung hinein gebildet werden, wobei auch mehr als vier Verstemmungen vorgesehen sein können. Beispielsweise kann in jeden Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Zähnen der Außenverzahnung eine Verstemmung vorgesehen sein, oder es wird vereinzelt eine Verstemmung in die Zahnzwischenräume gebildet. Insbesondere können die Verstemmungen an beiden Endseiten des Trägerrohres vorgesehen sein, so dass bei zwei Verstemmungen an einer Endseite des Trägerrohres beispielsweise insgesamt vier Verstemmungen zwischen dem Trägerrohr und der Zahnwelle gebildet sind.With further advantage, at least two, preferably at least three, and more preferably four, caulkings can be formed into an interruption of the outer toothing distributed over the circumference of the support tube, and more than four caulkings can also be provided.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann das Schiebeelement einen Lagerabschnitt aufweisen, durch den das Schiebeelement an einer Lagerbrücke drehbar gelagert aufnehmbar ist. Weist die Nockenwelle Schiebeelemente auf, die axial verschieblich auf der Zahnwelle aufgenommen sind und weist die Nockenwelle Schiebeelemente auf, die durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren auf der Zahnwelle axial festgesetzt sind, so wird ein besonderer Vorteil damit erreicht, dass die Schiebeelemente, die über das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren des Verstemmens auf der Zahnwelle festgesetzt sind, in Lagerbrücken eines die Nockenwelle aufnehmenden Bauteils, beispielsweise ein Haubenmodul oder ein Zylinderkopf, gelagert sind. Der Lagerabschnitt kann sich beispielsweise zwischen zwei Setzstellen befinden, auf denen Nockenelemente auf dem Trägerrohr aufgebracht sind.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the sliding element may have a bearing portion, by which the sliding element is rotatably supported on a bearing bridge. If the camshaft has sliding elements which are received in an axially displaceable manner on the toothed shaft and if the camshaft has sliding elements which are fixed axially on the toothed shaft by the method according to the invention, a particular advantage is achieved in that the sliding elements which are connected via the method according to the invention the caulking are set on the toothed shaft, in bearing bridges of the camshaft receiving component, such as a hood module or a cylinder head, are stored.
