  • the invention relates to a shaft gear suitable for use as an actuator of an electromechanical camshaft adjuster. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for securing a wave gear against displacement, in particular during transport or during assembly.
  • a camshaft adjuster is known from DE 10 2016 216 594 B3, which can be secured against unintentional adjustment with the aid of an anti-rotation device.
  • the anti-rotation device of the known camshaft adjuster comprises a spring that prestresses the actuating gear.
  • the control gear of the camshaft adjuster is designed as a wave gear with a flexible ring as an elastic gear element.
  • a phase adjuster for internal combustion engines that is to say a camshaft adjuster, with a locking element is known from DE 10 2009 019 397 B4.

  • a displacement of the locking element from its locking position into the parking position is possible by means of compressed oil or air.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a well-developed against the aforementioned prior art, secure against unintentional adjustment Wellge gear, given a particularly easy handling of the anti-rotation device to be given and interventions in the structure of components of the wave gear should be avoided as far as possible.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention by a wave gear with the features of claim 1.
  • the object is also achieved by a method for securing a wave gear against adjustment according to claim 10.
  • embodiments and advantages of the invention explained in connection with the security method apply analogously also for the device, ie the wave gear including anti-rotation device, and vice versa.
  • the wave gear comprises, in a known basic concept, three connecting elements, namely a drive element in the form of a housing which is rotatable as a whole, an output element to be connected to the shaft to be adjusted, in particular camshaft, and an adjusting element, and one between two of the three Connection elements effective anti-rotation device.
  • the anti-rotation device comprises a locking element that is concentric with all of the connection elements, positive-locking with one of the three connection elements and non-positively interacting with a further connection element. It has been shown that both an effective anti-rotation can be achieved and conventional wave gearboxes can be secured against adjustment, in particular during transport or during assembly, without any geometric modification of any components.
  • the securing element is a securing ring, in particular made of plastic, which can be placed in such a way that it interacts positively with the drive element and in a form-fitting manner with the adjusting element.
  • a positive locking anti-rotation contour is preferably formed on the part of the adjusting element by two bolts which are fixedly connected to an inner ring of a wave generator of the wave gear.
  • the two bolts can be part of an Oldham coupling which, as a compensating coupling, compensates for an axial offset between the shaft gear and an electric motor driving the adjusting element, that is to say the inner ring of the shaft generator together with the bolt.
  • the circlip can be efficiently manufactured using injection molding technology.
  • the retaining ring is profiled in a U-shape.
  • a positive locking anti-rotation contour which interacts directly with the bolts of the adjusting element, is formed by a corrugated inner section of the U-profile of the locking ring by the securing rings.
  • the securing ring in this embodiment has a smooth, outer section of the U-profile, which is provided for the positive locking against rotation relative to the drive element, that is to say the housing of the wave gear.
  • a radially outward-directed flange is preferably formed on the U-profile described by the locking ring, which flange rests on an end face of the drive element when the locking ring is inserted.
  • a flange suitable for manual removal of the locking ring from the connection elements can be molded onto this flange.
  • the locking ring has the advantage that it can be placed in any position of the adjusting element relative to the drive element between the elements mentioned.
  • the locking ring itself can be in any angle.
  • a camshaft adjuster which comprises the wave gear as an actuating gear
  • the electromotive provided for actuating the wave gear is to be attached to the wave gear
  • a defined angular relation between the drive element and the output element of the wave gear can be set and fixed with the aid of the locking ring .
  • the angular position of the adjusting element is irrelevant at this moment.
  • the equalizing coupling and the electric motor are to be attached to the adjusting element. This is only possible after the locking ring has been removed from the wave gear, which is easily possible without tools. An assembly of the electric motor with locked shaft gear is therefore excluded in principle.
  • the method with which the wave gear is secured against adjusting is characterized in that a locking ring between the adjusting element and the housing of the wave gear is used in such a way that at the same time a non-positive connection between the locking ring and the housing and a positive connection Connection between the locking ring and the Verstellele element is established.
  • the wave gear is not only suitable for use in an electromechanical camshaft adjuster, but also for industrial applications, for example in an industrial robot or in a machine tool.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional illustration of the arrangement according to FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 3 shows a locking ring of the wave gear.
  • a generally designated with the reference numeral 1 wave gear is part of an electric camshaft adjuster, not shown, which is used to adjust a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, namely a piston engine, in relation to its crankshaft.
  • the wave gear 1 used as an actuating gear is a three-shaft gear.
  • Three about a common axis, namely the axis of rotation of the camshaft, rotatable, each directly interacting with external components, ie components not attributable to the shaft drives 1, are generally referred to as connection elements 2, 9, 13.
  • the drive element 2 is constructed in several parts in the exemplary embodiment and comprises a chain wheel 3 which is driven by the crankshaft during operation of the camshaft adjuster, wherein it rotates at half the crankshaft speed.
  • the Abtriebsele element 13 is hen vorgese for rotationally fixed connection with the camshaft to be adjusted.
  • the adjusting element 9 is designed as an inner ring of a roller bearing 8, which is part of a wave generator 7.
  • the wave generator 7 is via a compensation clutch, namely Oldham coupling, driven by an electric motor, not shown, for example a brushless synchronous motor.
  • the compensating clutch has an Oldham disk, not shown, in which two bolts 14 engage when the camshaft adjuster is fully assembled.
  • the bolts 14 are fastened in the roller bearing inner ring and are assigned to the adjusting element 9.
  • the outer contour of the adjusting element 9 designed as a roller bearing ring deviates from a circular shape.
  • the adjusting element 9 forms a non-circular, elliptical raceway for rolling elements 10, namely balls.
  • an associated outer ring 11, in which the balls 10 roll is designed to be flexible, so that it permanently adapts to the non-circular shape of the adjusting element 9.
  • the outer ring 11 is in turn surrounded by a flexible gear element 12 which is externally toothed and also called the flex ring.
  • the external toothing of the flex ring 12 engages at two diametrically opposite points in the internal toothing of the chain wheel 3 and of the driven element 13.
  • the sprocket 3 is firmly connected by screws 6 to a housing element 4, which is also attributable to the drive element 2.
