Description

SPECIFICATION
Method for manufacturing coupling teeth The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing coupling teeth, more particuIalry for coupling tooth systems of synchronisation systems having crown bevels and rearcut sections.
In present day gear boxes for motor vehicles, synchromesh devices are provided for making the gear changes. These synchromesh systems basicaly consist of a synchronous hub in driving connection with the driven shaft of the gearbox and a sliding sleeve which is axially displaceable but secure against rotation on the outer perimeter of the hub and which can act via synchro forks on synchro rings which interact with a cone face and a coupling tooth system on the gear wheel which is freely journalled on the driven shaft.
So that they may follow more easily the corresponding inner gearing of the sliding sleeve, coupling toothing of this kind must be provided with crown bevels and are provided in the tooth track with rear-cut sections in order to prevent the sliding sleeve from springing out when the teeth are engaged.
The coupling toothing formed on the freewheeling gear wheel thus had to be made in an expensive rolling butt process for which a radial groove had to remain between the gear wheel and coupling teeth to allow the butt knife to run out.
In order to fully utilise the structural length of a gear wheel for transmitting the torques and moreover to simplify the manufacture of the coupling toothing, it has already been proposed to form the coupling toothing on an initially separate component which is subsequently connected secure against rotation to the gear wheel.
The present invention relates more particu- larly to the manufacture of a component part 110 of this kind for a gear wheel and comprising a cone ring and a coupling rim.
According to the invention, there is provided a method for the manufacture of cou- pling teeth, particularly of coupling tooth systems having crown bevels and rear-cuts for synchronisation devices, characterized by the following method steps:
1. fine stamping of the crown bevels at the coupling rim; 11. trimming of the outer diameter of the coupling rim; Ill. bending of the coupling rim conically forward, opposite to the cutting direction into an angle corresponding to the desired rear cut 125 and punch cutting of the coupling tooth system; and IV. straightening the toothed coupling rim again in its radial plane. 65 As a result of these steps, the desired rear- 130 G132 15491 1A 1 cut section on the coupling gearing is reached without any extra finishing work.
The invention will now be explained in more detail, by way of example, with refer- ence to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 illustrates a conventional synchronising system with a component part which has a cone ring and a coupling rim and which is separate from the gear wheel, and Figure 2 illustrates a sequence of processing stages, starting from the blank part through the corresponding intermediate stages to the finished part.
A conventional syncromesh system is indicated in Fig. 1. It consists basically of a synchronous hub 1 and a sliding sleeve 3 which is held secure against rotation on the outer perimeter of the hub by corresponding inner gearing 2 but which is axially displaceable and can act on a synchro ring 5 via a synchro fork 4.
A gear wheel 6 is connected secure against rotation in a suitable way to a separate com- ponent 7 which has a cone ring 8 and a coupling rim 9 with coupling toothing 10. The coupling toothing 10 should hereby, as necessary, have a crown bevel 11 which facilitates engagement and a rear-cut section on the gearing 10 which prevents the siding sleeve 3 from springing out.
The different processing steps for manufacturing the coupling toothing according to the invention are shown in Fig. 2.
In the section marked 0, the blank part 7 is shown with the cone ring 8 and the coupling rim 9. The blank part 7 can be designed as a sheet metal pressed part with corresponding deep-drawing of the cone ring 8 or as a forged part with subsequent processing.
In the method step I the crown bevel 11 for the coupling toothing is finestamped in a first tool and material is displaced radially outwards.
In the method step 11 the outer diameter 12 of the coupling ring 9 is cut off and finished.
In the method step III the coupling rim 9 is bent conically forwards against the cutting direction about an angle corresponding to the desired rear-cut section and the coupling gearing is manufactured by punch-cutting.
In method step IV the shape of the finished part is reached by straightening the coupling rim 9 back into the radial plane.
It is easy to see that the method described allows coupling toothing to be fine-stamped and fine-punched in a cost-effective way on a corresponding automatic fine-cutting machine with a four-stage tool starting from a simple blank and ending in the desired finished part.
A particular advantage compared to the rolling butting required up until now is that the demand by driving gear designers for different thick and thin teeth distributed round the perimieter of the cupling toothing can be 2 GB 2 15491 1A 2 met in a simple way by suitably modified tools.
The best way for manufacturing the other finished surfaces of the component part 7 are not explained here since they are not the subject of the invention.
