Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and device for the breaking or fracture separation of at least one bearing cap from a corresponding thrust block in the bearing assembly of engine cases provided with bearing bores which are arranged in-line, in particular crankshaft cases for reciprocating piston engines.
  • the known types of method and device usually involve the introduction of an extension mandrel comprising two half-mandrels into one or more bearing bores and the fracture separation force for separating the bearing cap from the thrust block is produced by spreading the two half-mandrels apart in a force-actuated manner.
  • This spreading-apart process is usually brought about by mechanically or hydraulically driving a separating wedge (cf. for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,684,267 or FIG. 1 of DE 44 13 255) or by positioning a hydraulically impacted expander between the half-mandrels.
  • a separating wedge cf. for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,684,267 or FIG. 1 of DE 44 13 255
  • expanders in the form of knuckle-joint assemblies are used (cf. for example DE 199 18 067).
  • breaking or fracture separation entails the problem of so-called bending strain.
  • Such deformation phenomena are due to the fact that, during the breaking separation process, the fracture cannot be realized absolutely synchronously across the entire breaking separation face.
  • the fracture begins at a point on the breaking separation face and propagates across the entire breaking separation face with a time delay (in the millisecond range).
  • the already detached part bends up with respect to the part not yet separated, thus causing the breaking separation faces to be no longer fitted precisely together after the fracture has occurred.
  • This effect arises particularly noticeably whenever bearing bores or bearing sleeves, the breaking separation face of which is formed by two spaced-apart surface portions, undergo fracture separation. Workpieces that exhibit these deformation phenomena do not comply with quality-related demands specified in bearing or engine construction and are consequently useless.
  • the present invention is based on the idea of improving the properties of fracture faces during breaking separation in that the bending strains that arise during fracture separation are reduced as far as possible.
  • a completely novel approach is chosen by the invention while retaining the tried-and-tested extension mandrel system that comprises two half-mandrels which can be moved apart.
  • the fixing procedure is performed by a special clamping system.
  • the bearing cap is therefore secured against rotation, but is clamped in a manner that offers a limited degree of free movement—in the direction of breaking separation—between the corresponding half-mandrel and a fixing means.
  • this clamping system consists of the half-mandrel that corresponds to the bearing cap, and a fixing means, between which the bearing cap is fixed in a non-movable manner.
  • the crux of the invention lies in the fact that this unit, consisting of the half-mandrel, bearing cap and fixing means, is supported in such a way that although the bearing cap cannot rotate, it can move freely to a limited degree in the direction of breaking separation. This makes it superfluous to use pre-tensions that have to be overcome by the respective breaking separation force. As a result, it is possible to work using relatively low breaking separation forces, which enables the device according to the invention to have a simple and relatively lightweight structural design.
  • the above-described disadvantages encountered in the prior art can be eliminated and the properties of the fracture surface can be enhanced considerably. It is particularly beneficial for the device according to the invention not to apply any external forces, which counteract the breaking separation process, to those components which are to be separated. This means that those fracture forces which are to be applied are slight, thus facilitating the breaking process and thereby making it even easier to design the device structure.
  • the gripping means can be formed and coupled to the corresponding half-mandrel in an arbitrary fashion. It is, however, an advantage for the extension mandrel, especially the corresponding half-mandrel, to comprise at least one recess that is adapted to the gripping means or for it to comprise at least one projection, with which the gripping means engage. This is a simple way of producing a reliable form-fit that helps to ensure the desired, rotationally secured arrangement of bearings.
  • an extension of the present invention makes it preferable to provide the corresponding half-mandrel with tangentially extending insertion slots on its periphery at mutually facing sides; these insertion slots can be used to slide the corresponding gripping means over the half-mandrel. Particular preference is given to placing the insertion slots in communication with the at least one recess so that the gripping means can engage rapidly and reliably with the at least one recess via the insertion slots.
  • the gripping means can slide, through the insertion slots, over the corresponding half-mandrel and the act of coupling can be achieved by simply sliding the half-mandrel in an axial direction.
  • the movement in an axial direction does in fact enable the gripping means to engage with the recesses disposed axially adjacent to the insertion slots, thus causing the gripping means to interlock positively with the corresponding half-mandrel.
  • a configuration that is particularly simple in technical terms and which exhibits static rigidity is obtained when the gripping means are formed by pincers which preferably each comprise fixed jaws, i.e. jaws which do not move against one another and which, in the region of their ends, have engagement members that face towards one another and which engage with the at least one recess in the corresponding half-mandrel.
  • the fixing means may be designed in a very wide variety of ways.
  • An especially simple and effective layout is obtained when the fixing means has at least one force-actuated detent.
  • This approach enables the fixing means to be tensioned reliably with the bearing cap that is to be separated and with the corresponding half-mandrel.
  • Preference is given to providing at least two spaced-apart detents ( 32 , 34 ) that act in a particularly preferred manner upon the bearing cap at that side which is opposite the corresponding half-mandrel.
  • This approach produces a unit that is in itself tensioned and consists of the fixing means, bearing cap that is to be separated and the corresponding half-mandrel, without forces that impede subsequent fracture separation from being introduced into the bearing assembly as a result of tensioning.
  • the detents can be realized in a simple and economically viable manner, for example by means of hydraulic cylinders or the like.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the breaking separation device in accordance with the invention
  • FIGS. 2 to 6 each schematically show individual steps of a preferred embodiment of the breaking separation method in accordance with the invention, which method makes use of the device shown in FIG. 1 .
  • FIGS. 1 to 6 Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 .
  • Identical reference numbers in the drawings each designate identical components.
  • FIG. 1 depicts schematically a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a device 1 for breaking separation in accordance with the present invention.
  • the device 1 in the present embodiment is used to machine, in a breaking separation manner, a crankshaft case 6 , as used for example in combustion engines.
  • the crankshaft case 6 has a series of bearing bores 8 that are arranged in-line and which are each enclosed by a thrust block 4 and a bearing cap 2 that are intended to be separated from one another by means of breaking separation.
  • the crankshaft case 6 can be supported in a suitable manner. It must be borne in mind, however, that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated application, but may also be applied to other bearing aseemblies or the like.
  • the breaking separation device shown in FIG. 1 comprises an extension mandrel 10 that has two half-mandrels 12 , 14 and can be inserted into at least one of the in-line bearing bores 8 .
  • An expander 16 for moving the half-mandrels 12 , 14 apart is interposed between the half-mandrels 12 , 14 .
  • the expander 16 may, for example, be formed by a wedge or a hydraulic means that is capable of applying sufficient expansion force to the half-mandrels 12 , 14 .
  • the breaking separation device 1 also comprises two gripping means in the form of pincers 18 , 20 that can be coupled, at both sides of the corresponding bearing cap 2 , to the half-mandrel 12 that corresponds to the bearing cap 2 .
  • the pincers 18 are securely connected to a fixing means 22 that is freely movable to a limited degree, but which is supported in a manner that is secured against rotation, in the direction of breaking separation, that is to say in a direction essentially perpendicular to the axis of the bearing bores 8 .
  • Such a manner of support can be realized, for example, as a kind of sliding sleeve or the like.
  • the half-mandrel 14 which faces away from the corresponding bearing cap 2 , has two recesses 24 so that the half-mandrel 12 , which faces towards the corresponding bearing cap 2 , protrudes like a projection above the other half-mandrel 14 .
  • the half-mandrel 12 that is mated with the corresponding bearing cap 2 has, at its periphery on mutually facing sides, tangentially extending insertion slots 26 for the pincers 18 , 20 that are each in communication with the recesses 24 .
  • the recesses 24 when viewed in the axial direction of the extension mandrel 10 , are each located axially adjacent to the insertion slots 26 and merge into them.
  • the pincers 18 , 20 are formed such as to have a stationary or rigid geometry.
  • the pincers 18 , 20 each comprise two fixed jaws 28 that are arranged essentially in a U shape and each have on their inner periphery a tooth-like engagement member 30 facing towards one another in the case of each pincer 18 , 20 .
  • the thickness of the pincers 18 , 20 corresponds essentially to the width of the insertion slots 26 , thereby enabling the pincers 18 , 20 to be guided onto the extension mandrel 10 such that the engagement members 36 end up form-locked in the region of the recesses 24 and can engage behind the corresponding projection of the half-mandrel 12 .
  • the fixing means 22 comprises two force-actuated detents 32 , 34 , the detent 34 being hidden by the pincer 18 in FIG. 1 .
  • the detents 32 , 34 are spaced apart from one another and are provided between the pincers 18 , 20 such as to face towards the corresponding bearing cap 2 . With regard to an even application of load, it is preferred that the detents 32 , 34 are located roughly mid-way between the pincers 18 , 20 and extend essentially parallel thereto.
  • the force-actuated detents 32 , 34 may, for example, be protractable pistons of hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. It goes without saying, however, that other suitable limit stop members can be used, too, within the framework of the present invention. In addition, it is conceivable that the detents do not move and that the pincers are force-actuated.
  • FIGS. 2 to 6 each schematically illustrate individual steps of a preferred embodiment of the breaking separation method according to the invention, in which the device shown in FIG. 1 is used.
  • the extension mandrel 10 in its relaxed state, i.e. without any considerable expansion force being applied to the half-mandrels 12 , 14 by the expander 16 , is first introduced into the first bearing bore 8 in such a way that at least the first insertion slot 26 ends up between the first and the second bearing cap 2 ( FIG. 2 , with that bearing cap which is located on the right side in the drawings being designated as the first bearing cap).
  • the insertion slots 26 are preferably moved into such a position that they are essentially in alignment with the pincers 18 , 20 of the fixing means 22 .
  • the securely connected unit consisting of the pincers 18 , 20 and the fixing means 22 is now moved towards the extension mandrel 10 and the crankshaft case 6 such that the pincers 18 , 20 , with their jaws 28 and particularly their tooth-like engagement members 30 , plunge into the insertion slots 26 .
  • the pincers 18 , 20 are moved towards the extension mandrel 10 to such an extent that the tooth-like engagement members 30 end up axially adjacent to the recesses 24 .
  • the extension mandrel 10 is introduced further into the bearing bore 8 .
  • the tooth-like engagement members 30 of the pincers 18 , 20 assume form-locked engagement with the recesses 24 of the extension mandrel 10 and therefore engage behind the extension sleeve 12 that faces towards the bearing block 2 that is to be separated. In other words, a positive transmission of power is now possible between the extension sleeve 12 that faces towards the bearing cap 2 which is to be separated, and the pincers 18 , 20 .
  • the force-actuated detents 32 , 34 are then protracted such as to come in contact with the facing surface 2 ′ of the bearing cap 2 that is to be separated and such as to apply a force thereto ( FIG. 5 ).
  • this approach reduces or largely eliminates, during the fracture separation process, any twisting or bending strain that affects the bearing cap 2 that is to be separated. In this way, a fracture surface can be obtained with a much improved quality and surface structure.
  • the actual breaking separation process is performed.
  • the half-mandrels 12 , 14 are moved so far apart by means of the expander 16 until a separation fracture is obtained between the bearing cap 2 and the corresponding thrust block 4 .
  • it is unnecessary to apply tensile forces via the fixing means 22 to the bearing cap 2 that is to be separated because, in the present embodiment, the fixing means 22 with the pincers 18 , 20 and the detents 32 , 34 serves merely to prevent twisting of the bearing cap 2 that is to be separated, but it does not serve to impede or assist the bearing cap's movement in the direction of breaking separation.
  • the clamping of the separated bearing cap 2 can be released by retracting the detents 32 , 34 , with the result that the separated bearing cap 2 can be removed and the pincers 18 , 20 disengaged from the extension mandrel 10 by retracting same and then retracting the pincers 18 , 20 .
  • the aforementioned process can then be performed analogously for the next bearing cap 2 .
  • the present invention does, of course, make it possible to separate a plurality of bearing caps 2 from the corresponding thrust block 4 during a breaking separation process.
