Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bumper for a valve train of an internal combustion engine.
  • the invention further relates to a valve train of an internal combustion engine, comprising such a bumper, in particular a valve train for an internal combustion engine with a side or bottom camshaft.
  • the invention further relates to such an internal combustion engine, for. B. an engine, especially for a vehicle, e.g. B. a motor vehicle, utility vehicle, watercraft, rail vehicle or an internal combustion engine for power generation, comprising such a bumper.
  • the invention further relates to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, for. B. commercial vehicle, a watercraft, or a rail vehicle with a bumper or a valve train as described in this document.
  • a motor vehicle for. B. commercial vehicle, a watercraft, or a rail vehicle with a bumper or a valve train as described in this document.
  • a bumper for a valve train forms the transmission link in the drive mechanism from the camshaft to the valves. Colloquially, the term bumper is often used for the bumper.
  • the bumper in an internal combustion engine is part of the valve control on engines, especially in engines with a side or bottom camshaft.
  • Known bumpers consist of a cylindrical shaft, at the ends of which ball heads or ball sockets are provided.
  • a push rod with a region of maximum cross section preferably arranged centrally between the ends of the push rod, the push rod consisting of a first and a second, essentially hollow rod part; these rod parts each have a maximum cross section in the region of an open end face, the rod parts being insolubly connected to one another at their open end faces (2b, 3b).
  • JP S59 155516 A , NL 136 906 C. , US 2004/149244 A1 and US 3,749,068 A. disclose the widening and / or profiling of a bumper to increase the kink resistance.
  • a thrust element for actuating a valve plate can be removed, with a tubular bimetal arrangement and struts to compensate for thermal changes in length within the valve device.
  • the document JP S58 146007 U discloses a hollow bumper, the wall cross section of which is round, undulating or cruciform and extends over a portion of the length of the bumper.
  • the document US 5 069 173 A shows a bumper, which consists of a hollow tube with an irregularly shaped inner wall profile with convex and concave sections, which extend over the entire length of the tube and result in a variable wall thickness of the bumper.
  • a hollow bumper can be removed, which has struts in the interior in favor of increased load-bearing capacity.
  • a bumper in particular for a valve train of an internal combustion engine, is provided, the shaft of which has a rib structure.
  • ribbing ie the provision of a rib structure to increase the buckling stiffness of a defined area of the bumper
  • an increase in the buckling resistance of the bumper is achieved compared to a cylindrical design of the shaft of the bumper.
  • a weight reduction can be achieved, which among other things improves the valve train dynamics.
  • Another advantage of this bumper design is the use of the bumper even in areas critical for installation space due to the tapering of the bumper in areas less prone to buckling.
  • the rib structure with similarly good buckling stiffness, offers more flexibility in adapting the dimensions of the bumper to the prevailing space requirements in areas critical for installation space.
  • the length of the rib structure can be adapted, for example.
  • the distance between the beginning and the end of the ribs can thus be appropriately selected depending on the installation space in the engine.
  • the rib structure has a plurality of radially projecting ribs which extend in the longitudinal direction of the shaft.
  • a plurality of ribs running at least approximately axially parallel to the central axis of the shaft can be provided.
  • the ribs can project the same or different distances in the radial direction.
  • An advantageous variant provides that the ribs project equally far in the radial direction.
  • the number of ribs of the rib structure can be in the range from three to twelve, more preferably in the range from four to eight.
  • the rib structure is arranged in an area arranged between the ends of the bumper. According to the invention, it is provided that the rib structure is arranged in a central region of the shaft. Here, the rib structure can only be arranged in the central region, so that no rib structure is arranged on the two opposite ends of the bumper. It is further provided according to the invention that the rib structure is arranged only in a central region of the shaft, which corresponds to at most half a length of the shaft.
  • the bumper can be designed to taper at the ends of the bumper in a region that is less prone to buckling. This is also advantageous for arrangement in a space-critical area between the push rod and the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine.
  • the rib structure can be made in one piece with the shaft, which is advantageous for reasons of stability and with regard to the manufacture of the bumper.
  • a thickness of at least one rib of the rib structure can decrease at least in sections in the radial direction away from the shaft.
  • a rib of the rib structure can have the shape of a wedge or rectangle in cross section. Furthermore, a rib of the rib structure can have rounded corners on the radially outer edge of the rib.
  • an outside of the ribs of the rib structure in cross section can have the shape of a circular section with the radius of the shaft in the region of the rib structure.
  • the radius of the shaft in this area includes the height of the ribs in this area.
  • the two edges, which extend inwards from an outside of the ribs, can be beveled inwards and widen.
  • the ends of the shaft of the bumper can be provided with a ball head or a ball socket.
  • the bumper can be made from a conventional structural or tool steel.
  • the bumper and / or the shaft of the bumper can be made as a drawn tube with fins, the shaft at its two opposite ends is turned freely.
  • the bumper and / or the shaft of the bumper can be produced as a drawn round material with ribs and can be turned freely at the ends of the shaft.
  • the bumper and / or the shaft can also be forged as a round material or formed as a round material.
  • the rib structure can run straight or "bulbous" on the shaft.
  • the rib structure can be designed with or without a bevel.
  • the invention further relates to a valve train of an internal combustion engine, comprising a bumper as described in this document, in particular a valve train for an internal combustion engine with a side or bottom camshaft.
  • the invention further relates to such an internal combustion engine, for. B. an engine, especially for a vehicle, e.g. B. a motor vehicle, utility vehicle, watercraft, rail vehicle or for power generation, comprising a bumper as described in this document.
  • the invention further relates to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, for. B. commercial vehicle, a watercraft, or a rail vehicle with a bumper or a valve train as described in this document.
  • a motor vehicle for. B. commercial vehicle, a watercraft, or a rail vehicle with a bumper or a valve train as described in this document.
  • Figure 1 shows a bumper 1 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the bumper 1 can be used in a valve train for an internal combustion engine and in this case form the transmission element in the drive mechanism from the camshaft located at the side or at the bottom to the gas exchange valves. Colloquially, the term bumper is often used for the bumper.
  • the bumper 1 comprises a shaft 2, at the ends of which a ball head 6 or a ball socket 5 is provided.
  • a central region 2b of the shaft 2 has a rib structure 3.
  • the rib structure 3 is formed by a plurality of radially projecting ribs 4, which extend in the longitudinal direction L of the shaft 2, the rib structure 3 being made in one piece with the shaft 2.
  • the longitudinal direction here corresponds to the longitudinal axis L of the shaft 2.
  • a radial direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.
  • the two opposite end regions 2a of the shaft 2 adjoin the central region 2b of the shaft 2 and are cylindrical.
  • the rib structure 3 is also in Figure 2 shown a cross section along BB in Figure 1 shows.
  • the rib structure has four ribs 4, which run in the longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the shaft and project equally in the radial direction.
  • a thickness of the ribs 4 of the rib structure 3 decreases at least in sections in the radial direction R away from the shaft.
  • the ribs 4 In cross section, the ribs 4 have the shape of a wedge or rectangle with rounded corners on the radially outer edge 4a. The two edges, which extend inwards from an outer side 4a of a rib 4, are beveled inwards to widen.
