DISPOSITIF DE GUIDAGE DE LA TIGE DE PISTON D'UN AMORTISSEUR
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif amortisseur de chocs, plus particulièrement adapté à une suspension de véhicule automobile du type Mac PHERSo\. DEVICE FOR GUIDING THE PISTON ROD OF A SHOCK ABSORBER
The present invention relates to a shock absorbing device, more particularly suitable for a motor vehicle suspension of the Mac PHERSo \ type.
On sait que dans un tel type de suspension, l'amortisseur sert de jambe de force supportant le poids de la caisse du véhicule.We know that in such a type of suspension, the shock absorber serves as a strut supporting the weight of the vehicle body.
A ce titre, il est non seulement soumis à des charges s' exerçant selon son axe, mais également à des charges transversales, résultant notamment du guidage du train solidarisé à sa base.As such, it is not only subjected to loads exerted along its axis, but also to transverse loads, resulting in particular from the guiding of the train secured to its base.
Lorsque ces contraintes latérales deviennent importantes, le transfert de ces charges entre la tige et le corps de 1' amortisseur étant assuré par le piston et la palier, la tige a tendance à fléchir et sa surface d' appui sur le palier du corps porte en coin.When these lateral stresses become significant, the transfer of these loads between the rod and the body of the damper being provided by the piston and the bearing, the rod tends to bend and its bearing surface on the bearing of the body carries corner.
Ceci entraîne une mauvaise répartition des pressions sur les surfaces en présence et donc une tenue en endurance insuffisante, des problèmes d'étanchéité et des transmissions excessives des bruits de roulement dans la caisse.This results in a poor distribution of pressures on the surfaces present and therefore insufficient endurance resistance, sealing problems and excessive transmission of rolling noise in the body.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénients ci-dessus et sera décrite à titre d'exemple non limitatif au regard des figures 1 à 5 ci-i ointes, qui se rapportent respectivement: - la figure 1, à une coupe longitudinale de 1' amortisseur selon
1' invention, - les figures 2 et 3, à des coupes transversales respectivement selon A-A
et selon B-B de la figure 1 au niveau du dispositif de guidage de la
tige dans le cylindre, - les figures 4 et 5, à des vues de détails en coupe longitudinale
montrant la lubrification au niveau du dispositif de guidage. The object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks and will be described by way of nonlimiting example with regard to FIGS. 1 to 5 above, which relate respectively: - FIG. 1, to a longitudinal section of 1 shock absorber according
1 invention, - Figures 2 and 3, to cross sections respectively along AA
and according to BB of FIG. 1 at the level of the device for guiding the
rod in the cylinder, - Figures 4 and 5, to detail views in longitudinal section
showing lubrication at the guide device.
En référence à la figure 1, l'amortisseur représenté comporte un cylindre 1 déterminant deux enceintes 2 et 3 pourvues de liquide amortissant, séparées par une cloison cylindrique 4 fermée à son extrémité inférieure par un bouchon 5, supDortant une butée 6 et munie d' ouvertures 7 pour la circulation du liquide entre les deux enceintes 2-3, en particulier lors de la dilatation résultant de son échauffement et de l'introduction de la tige dans le cylindre.Referring to Figure 1, the shock absorber shown comprises a cylinder 1 determining two enclosures 2 and 3 provided with damping liquid, separated by a cylindrical partition 4 closed at its lower end by a plug 5, supDortant a stop 6 and provided with openings 7 for the circulation of the liquid between the two chambers 2-3, in particular during the expansion resulting from its heating and from the introduction of the rod into the cylinder.
La partie supérieure de 1' amortisseur est fermée par un capuchon 5 serti et des moyens d' étanchéité 9 connus en soi, au travers desquels coulisse la tige 10 solidarisée par sa partie haute à la caisse du véhicule non figurée et dont la partie basse comporte un piston 11.The upper part of the damper is closed by a crimped cap 5 and sealing means 9 known per se, through which slides the rod 10 secured by its upper part to the body of the vehicle not shown and the lower part of which comprises a piston 11.
L'amortisseur selon l'invention est remarquable au niveau du guidage de la tige 10 et de la partie supérieure du cylindre 1. Ceci est effectué au moyen d'une rotule 12, à l'intérieur de laquelle se déplace ladite tige 10 compte tenu d' un leu de fonctionnement suffisant et non figuré, coopérant avec un palier 13 de forme correspondante constitué de préférence de deux parties complémentaires supérieure 14 et inférieure 15, facilitant sa fabrication et son assemblage.The damper according to the invention is remarkable at the level of the guide of the rod 10 and of the upper part of the cylinder 1. This is done by means of a ball joint 12, inside which said rod 10 moves taking into account of a sufficient and not shown operating leu, cooperating with a bearing 13 of corresponding shape preferably made up of two complementary upper 14 and lower 15 parts, facilitating its manufacture and assembly.
Ceci constitue donc une liaison rigide entre la tige 1G et le corps du palier 13, présentant l'avantage d'éviter ainsi toute excentricité de l'axe de ces deux éléments.This therefore constitutes a rigid connection between the rod 1G and the body of the bearing 13, having the advantage of thus avoiding any eccentricity of the axis of these two elements.
On notera encore la présence éventuelle des butées de choc 16-17.Note again the possible presence of the shock stops 16-17.
Les coupes de 1' amortisseur représentées aux figures 2 et 3, respectivement selon A-A et selon B-B de la figure 1, montrent la présence à ces niveaux dans la rotule 12 de canaux 20-21, transversaux, disposés à 12D" les uns des autres et décalés entre eux d'un plan sur l'autre. Ils mettent en communication les gorges 22-23 disposées dans les paliers 14-15 avec des gorges 24-25 ménagées dans la face interne de la rotule 12 au regard de la tige 10.The sections of the damper shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively along AA and along BB of Figure 1, show the presence at these levels in the ball 12 of channels 20-21, transverse, arranged 12D "from each other and offset from one plane to another. They connect the grooves 22-23 arranged in the bearings 14-15 with grooves 24-25 formed in the internal face of the ball 12 facing the rod 10 .
La lubrification de la rotule 12 à la fois au regard de la tige 1, et du palier 13 est effectuée à l'aide de 1' huile constituant le liquide amortissant. The lubrication of the ball joint 12 both with respect to the rod 1, and the bearing 13 is carried out using the oil constituting the damping liquid.
Ceci est illustré aux figures 4 et 5.This is illustrated in Figures 4 and 5.
Considérons le cas d'un mouvement ascensionnel de la tige 10 et de son piston 11 (figure 4). Dans ce cas, l'huile constituant le liquide amortissant est mise sous pression dans la partie supérieure de 1' enceinte 2 située au-dessus du piston 11 ; elle remonte alors via le )eu 27 situé entre la butée 16 et la tige 10, les rainures 26 de l'élément de palier 15 faisant face à la rotule 12, parvient dans la gorge 23 dudit palier, traverse les canaux 21 de ladite rotule, aboutit dans la rainure 24 de cette dernière, poursuit son ascension par le jeu ménagé entre la tige 10 et la rotule 12 iusqu'au point d'étanchéité 9 : l'huile amorce alors sa descente vers le bas de l'amortisseur par le canal périphérique de retour 25 jusque dans I'enceinte 3 qui communique avec l'enceinte 2 par les ouvertures 7.Consider the case of an upward movement of the rod 10 and its piston 11 (Figure 4). In this case, the oil constituting the damping liquid is pressurized in the upper part of the enclosure 2 situated above the piston 11; it then rises via the) eu 27 located between the stop 16 and the rod 10, the grooves 26 of the bearing element 15 facing the ball 12, reaches the groove 23 of said bearing, crosses the channels 21 of said ball , ends in the groove 24 of the latter, continues its ascent by the clearance provided between the rod 10 and the ball 12 until the sealing point 9: the oil then begins its descent to the bottom of the damper by the peripheral return channel 25 as far as enclosure 3 which communicates with enclosure 2 through the openings 7.
Parallèlement, l'huile redescent également vers l'enceinte 3 de l'amortisseur, en empruntant les canaux 21 traversant la rotule 12, puis la gorge 22 et l'ouverture 31 ménagées dans l'élément supérieur de palier 14 et enfin le canal vertical 30. At the same time, the oil also redescends towards the enclosure 3 of the shock absorber, using the channels 21 passing through the ball joint 12, then the groove 22 and the opening 31 formed in the upper bearing element 14 and finally the vertical channel 30.
On remarque qu' au cours de ce circuit résultant de la montée du piston 11, un flux d' huile parcourt bien les interfaces situées entre 1' élément de palier 15 et la rotule 12 ainsi qu'entre l'intérieur de cette dernière et la tige 10. It is noted that during this circuit resulting from the rise of the piston 11, a flow of oil runs through the interfaces between the bearing element 15 and the ball joint 12 as well as between the interior of the latter and the rod 10.
Lors de la descente du piston (figure 5), 1' huile amortissante est dans ce cas en surpression dans la partie inférieure de l' enceinte 2, en dessous du piston 11 : elle passe dans l'enceinte 3 et remonte via le canal 30 et l'ouverture 31 dans l'élément de palier 15 pour aboutir dans la rainure 22 de l'élément de palier 14, puis dans les canaux 20 lusqutà la rainure 24 située face à la tige 15 ; celle-ci est remontée selon la flèche iusqu'au niveau du joint d'étanchéité 9 ; le liquide amortissant commence alors sa redescente via le canal de retour 25 et aboutit dans l' enceinte 3 où elle est recyclée.During the descent of the piston (FIG. 5), the damping oil is in this case in overpressure in the lower part of the enclosure 2, below the piston 11: it passes into the enclosure 3 and rises via the channel 30 and the opening 31 in the bearing element 15 to terminate in the groove 22 of the bearing element 14, then in the channels 20 lusqutà the groove 24 situated opposite the rod 15; this is raised according to the arrow iusqu'à level of the seal 9; the damping liquid then begins to descend via the return channel 25 and ends in the enclosure 3 where it is recycled.
On notera que, sur ce trajet, les interfaces situées entre l'élément de palier 14 et la rotule 12 d'une part, et entre l'intérieur de cette dernière et la tige 10 d'autre part, sont bien lubrifiées. It will be noted that, on this path, the interfaces located between the bearing element 14 and the ball joint 12 on the one hand, and between the interior of the latter and the rod 10 on the other hand, are well lubricated.
On voit que, selon le système de guidage de l'invention, la surface de contact entre la tige 10 et le palier 13 le supportant sur le corps 1 de l'amortisseur demeure constante, même sous l'action de charges transversales créant un couple entre ces deux éléments. It can be seen that, according to the guidance system of the invention, the contact surface between the rod 10 and the bearing 13 supporting it on the body 1 of the shock absorber remains constant, even under the action of transverse loads creating a couple between these two elements.
