Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method as well as to an apparatus for the manufacture of transmission plates for a continuously variable transmission, such as a belt-and-pulley drive.
  • a continuously variable transmission also called a CVT
  • a transmission surface is herein to be understood the surface, at which forces are transferred.
  • the transmission surface can have a shape that is curved or straight, radially across the transmission plate.
  • the transmission plates arranged in pairs are adjustable as to the space between them, and a force-transferring element, such as a chain of fine links, for example, can be deflected between them. By adjusting the space between the plates, a continuous adjustability is achieved.
  • the force-transferring element migrates positively along the transmission surface of the confronting transmission plates.
  • the force-transferring element is thus shifted up and down and from the inside out and vice versa on the transmission surface between an inside diameter and an outside diameter.
  • a radial, relative pendulum-like motion with respect to the workpiece spindle is performed between the grinding wheel and the transmission plate for grinding the conical or spherical transmission surface, so that the grinding area of the grinding wheel on the transmission surface migrates between an inside radius and an outside radius of the surface.
  • the grinding pattern of the drive surface can be varied selectively.
  • a cross grind for example, can be produced with the inventive method.
  • Cross grinding refers here to a grinding pattern, in which the cuts somehow cross one another. In this manner, the surface roughness of the drive surface can be controlled, thereby creating optimum conditions for avoiding slippage by a force-transferring element in the operation of the transmission.
  • the surface can be produced within the necessary close dimensional tolerances and has the necessary strength. Since the surface roughness of the transmission plates is plainly improved by the controlled creation of the surface roughness of the transmission plates and slippage is prevented to a great degree, the contact pressure of the transmission plates can be further reduced, which results in a reduction of the surface-to-surface pressure and thus also of friction in the transfer of force and hence an improvement in the efficiency of the transmission.
  • a continuously variable transmission having transmission plates manufactured according to the invention ultimately also leads to a reduction in the fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine in comparison with the fuel consumption of conventionally made transmissions.
  • Cross grinding produced in this manner, offers the advantages that the percentage of contact area on the surface of the transmission plates is higher, since a “cross grind” is obtained similar to that produced on honed surfaces.
  • the rotational speed of the workpiece spindle is coordinated with the pendulum-like motion.
  • a uniform grinding pattern can be produced on the transmission surface in all areas.
  • the speed of the workpiece spindle is varied according to the radial grinding position of the grinding wheel on the transmission surface.
  • a uniform grinding pattern can be produced on all areas of the transmission surface, for example by increasing or reducing the workpiece spindle speed, especially by achieving equal grinding conditions at all points of grinding contact, so as to produce the same surface roughness on all circumferential areas of the transmission plate. This prevents the force transfer element from operating at different slippage limits at different positions on the transmission plate.
  • the rate of the pendulum-like motion is varied according to the radial position of the grinding wheel on the transmission surface.
  • the relative pendulum-like motion can be performed by a back-and-forth movement either of the grinding wheel or of the transmission plate.
  • two workpiece spindles are provided, which are associated with each other such that a pendulum-like motion across the transmission surfaces can be performed by two transmission plates, so that a pair of transmission plates can be ground in a vise with only one grinding wheel.
  • the two workpiece spindles are so adjusted in this case that the transmission surfaces of the two plates are arranged adjacent one another, while the conical or spherical transmission surfaces each lie in a single plane.
  • the machining of two mounted transmission plates by the method of the invention thus permits the manufacturing time to be reduced.
  • the cycle periods can be approximately cut in half. It is obvious in this case that the workpiece spindle speeds are coordinated with the lengthened swing.
  • the two workpiece spindles can be turned about a common pivot point so that the transmission surfaces can be produced with a spherical surface shape.
  • the position of the pivot point is determined by the radius of the spherical shape.
  • the inventive apparatus for producing transmission plates for a continuously variable transmission has at least one workpiece spindle and one grinding spindle, the grinding spindle and the transmission plates being arranged so that, during the grinding operation, a relative pendulum-like motion across the transmission surface, in a radial direction with respect to the workpiece spindle axis, can be performed between the grinding wheel and the workpiece spindle.
  • the grinding pattern on the transmission surface can be influenced with the apparatus. Due to the pendulum-like motion it is possible, instead of the otherwise customary uniformly radial grinding pattern, to produce any desired grinding pattern on the surface, e.g., a cross grind, a grinding pattern spiraling outward, or any other desired grinding pattern.
  • the relative pendulum-like motion can be achieved preferably either by a grinding wheel that can be shifted back and forth or by a transmission plate that can be shifted in the same manner.
  • a grinding wheel spindle carriage which is adjustable angularly with respect to the workpiece spindle.
  • the grinding wheel spindle carriage permits precise and rapid shifting back and forth of the grinding wheel across the transmission surface being ground. Due to angular adjustability with respect to the workpiece spindle different conical shapes of transmission plates can be manufactured.
  • the apparatus has a control system, with which the relative pendulum-like motion can be deliberately controlled.
  • the pendulum-like motion can be deliberately varied so that a predefined surface roughness of the transmission surface of the transmission plates can be established.
  • the rotational speed of the workpiece spindle and the velocity of the pendulum-like motion are variable.
  • the machining of the transmission surface can thus be optimized for a particular application, i.e., with respect to its slippage and frictional properties in the operation of the transmission.
  • the workpiece spindle can rotate about a pivot point to produce a “spherical” shape of the transmission surface.
  • the pivot point is determined in this case by the desired or required radius of curvature.
  • the rotational movement then also serves at the same time for producing the relative pendulum-like motion.
  • the apparatus has two workpiece spindles, which are adjustable for alignment and their spacing apart.
  • the apparatus thus permits the simultaneous grinding of two transmission plates simultaneously, as well as the execution of the pendulum-like motion of the invention during the grinding.
  • the manufacturing time can in this way be reduced.
  • the cone angle is adjustable in this way.
  • the two-workpiece spindles can turn about a common pivot point; this permits the production of spherical or various surfaces on the transmission surfaces.
  • the apparatus is part of a CNC machining center.
  • the transmission plates can be further processed in a single set-up. Changeover between different operating steps preceding or following the grinding operation is thus unnecessary.
  • FIG. 1 shows a diagrammatic plan view of a first embodiment of the inventive grinding apparatus
  • FIG. 2 shows a diagrammatic plan view of a second embodiment of the invention using two workpiece spindles
  • FIG. 3 shows a diagrammatic plan view of an embodiment alternative to the one in FIG. 1 and
  • FIG. 4 shows a diagrammatic plan view of an embodiment alternative to the one in FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 1 A plan view of an inventive grinding apparatus is shown simplified in FIG. 1 .
  • the workpiece 1 is a transmission plate with a conical surface 2 , clamped in a workpiece spindle 3 .
  • the transmission plate 1 has a conical transmission surface 2 , i.e., it slopes in only one direction. It is obvious, however, that the transmission plate 1 can also have a shape sloping in two directions.
  • a grinding wheel 4 is provided on a grinding spindle 5 to grind the conical transmission surface 2 of the transmission plate 1 .
  • the grinding wheel 4 and the grinding spindle 5 are provided on a grinding spindle carriage 6 such that the grinding wheel 4 can perform a pendulum-like motion while grinding the surface 2 .
  • a control system 7 is provided, by which the rotational speed of the workpiece spindle 3 as well as the pendulum-like motion of the grinding wheel 4 can be controlled.
  • the grinding wheel 4 swings back and forth between an outside radius 2 . 2 and an inside radius 2 . 1 such that its tracks on the surface 2 cross one another.
  • a cross grind can be produced on the surface 2 .
  • the apparatus it is therefore possible to control the surface roughness of the transmission surface 2 of the transmission plate 1 .
  • the rotational speed of the workpiece spindle 3 , the speed and direction of the pendulum-like motion of the grinding wheel can be established through the control system 7 .
  • Other adjustment parameters are the same as in conventional grinding machines, such as for example the movement of the grinding wheel 4 toward the surface in the X-Y plane.
  • FIG. 2 shows diagrammatically a second embodiment of the grinding apparatus of the invention in which, unlike the embodiment previously described, two workpiece spindles 3 and 3 ′ are provided.
  • the apparatus to grind two transmission plates 1 and 1 ′ in one set-up.
  • the two workpiece spindles 3 , 3 ′ are aligned with one another according to the cone shape of the transmission surface 2 , 2 ′ such that the surface lines of each half of the conical surface 2 , 2 ′ are in a single plane.
  • the grinding spindle 5 is arranged on a grinding spindle slide 6 , which permits a pendulum-like motion from the inside radius 2 . 1 of the surface 2 of the one transmission plate 1 to the inside radius 2 . 1 of the other transmission plate 1 ′. In this way the time required for the grinding of the transmission surface of transmission plates can be reduced.
  • FIG. 3 presents schematically an alternative embodiment of the grinding apparatus from FIG. 1 .
  • a movable grinding spindle 6 instead of a movable grinding spindle 6 , here the pendulum-like motion during grinding the transmission surface 2 is performed by a workpiece spindle 10 , which can swing back and forth.
  • a radius shape i.e., spherical shape of the transmission surface 2 is developed, which has a targeted surface roughness due to the cross-grinding that is generated.
  • the position of the pivot point 8 determines the radius of curvature of the spherical surface and is preferably adjustable.
  • FIG. 4 as in FIG. 3 , an alternative embodiment of the grinding machine from FIG. 2 is represented diagrammatically with two workpiece spindles.
  • the two-workpiece spindles 10 , 10 ′ can pivot around a common point 9 such that the pendulum-like motion can be performed through the workpiece spindles 10 , 10 ′, while grinding wheel 4 approaches in direction Y.
  • the pivot point 9 is adjustable, as is the swing angle ⁇ to adapt the apparatus to various shapes of transmission plates.
