Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tensioning device of a traction mechanism drive, with a tensioning piston, which is mounted so that it can move in the axial direction and which is provided with an attachment shaft facing the traction mechanism, with a tensioning shoe made from plastic mounted via a support hole on the attachment shaft, and with a disk-shaped metallic support element having a support hole fixed to the attachment shaft.
  • Traction mechanism drives such as chain drives and toothed belt drives, are used in many machines for power transfer due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness, e.g., also for driving camshafts in reciprocating internal combustion engines of motor vehicles.
  • Traction mechanism drives frequently have vibration dampers in the form of housing-fixed sliding shoes, which are preferably made from a low-friction polymer plastic or from a guide rail made from metal coated with this material and which are in sliding contact with the traction mechanism, for preventing vibrations of the traction mechanism chain or toothed belt.
  • the sliding shoes could be arranged both on the tensioned side and also on the loose side of the traction mechanism.
  • traction mechanism drives usually also have a tensioning device arranged on the loose side.
  • This tensioning device has available a tensioning piston, which is mounted so that it can move in the axial direction and which acts on a tensioning shoe loaded by a spring element and/or a compression means.
  • This tensioning shoe deflects the loose side of the traction mechanism normal toward its direction of motion and also toward the rotational axes of the gears and thus compensates for the longitudinal expansion and tensions the traction mechanism.
  • a tensioning device for a chain drive in which a tensioning shoe is formed as a separate component and which is mounted so that it can rotate about a housing-fixed shaft.
  • a tensioning piston which loads the tensioning shoe with a compressive force, is located at a distance from the shaft and thus presses this shoe against the loose side of the chain, whereby this is tensioned. Due to the slide-shifting contact of the tensioning shoe with the tensioning piston, rotation due to operation is largely prevented between the tensioning piston and the tensioning shoe.
  • a disadvantage in this known tensioning device is the large number of components and the relatively large spatial requirements.
  • a tensioning device for a chain drive in which two tensioning shoes made from a polymer plastic and aligned opposite one another are fixed rigidly to a tensioning lever, which is formed as a rocking lever and which is mounted between the two tensioning shoes so that it can rotate about a housing-fixed shaft.
  • a tensioning piston loads the tensioning lever at a distance from the shaft with a compressive force and thus presses both tensioning shoes in opposite directions against the loose side of the chain, whereby this is tensioned. Due to the rotating support of the tensioning lever and the sliding contact of the tensioning lever with the tensioning piston, no large rotation occurs between the tensioning shoes and the tensioning lever.
  • the number of components and the spatial requirements are increased disadvantageously relative to the construction named above.
  • a first tensioning device constructed in this way is known as a component of a camshaft chain drive from DE 40 06 910 C1, in which a tensioning shoe is arranged, with less projection of the tensioning piston and thus unfavorably smaller contact surface to the chain, directly on the attachment shaft of the tensioning piston.
  • a tensioning device that can be produced simply and economically, in which a tensioning shoe with large projection of the tensioning piston is produced from a polymer plastic, provided with a central support hole, and connected to this rigidly by insertion on a cylindrical support shaft of the tensioning piston.
  • a tensioning shoe with large projection of the tensioning piston is produced from a polymer plastic, provided with a central support hole, and connected to this rigidly by insertion on a cylindrical support shaft of the tensioning piston.
  • a disk-shaped metallic transfer element with a central support hole in front of the tensioning shoe is pressed onto the support shaft and fused or welded with this.
  • the force transfer between the tensioning shoe and the tensioning piston is definitely improved, but disadvantageously the production process becomes more complicated.
  • the fusing or welding of the support element with the tensioning piston can lead to undesired deformation and twisting in both components.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that through a large-area introduction of load forces and bending moments from the tensioning shoe made from a polymer plastic into the metallic support element and through forwarding of the bending moment into the tensioning piston essentially via the support element, smaller peak loads appear in the tensioning shoe and thus a more stable unit made from the tensioning piston, support element, and tensioning shoe is formed without complicated measures.
  • a tensioning device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 , in which the support element is pre-mounted in or on the tensioning shoe in a non-positive and/or positive fit connection and that the support element is connected in the mounted state to the tensioning piston by a press fit between its support hole and the attachment shaft, and also contacts a shoulder of the tensioning piston.
  • the tensioning shoe is connected to the disk-shaped support element with a non-positive and/or positive fit and the support element is pressed onto the attachment shaft of the tensioning piston and contacts the shoulder, loads occurring during operation are distributed between the tensioning shoe and the support element each over a relatively large area, so that local tensioning peaks and overloading the polymer plastic of the tensioning shoe, especially in the region of the support hole of the tensioning shoe, are prevented.
  • the generated load forces can be transmitted through the press fit in connection with the large-area contact on the shoulder between the support element and the tensioning piston.
  • the operation-dependent loads are introduced from the tensioning shoe into the tensioning piston essentially via the press fit of the support hole of the support element with the attachment shaft of the tensioning piston, and only to a smaller extent via the contact of the support hole of the tensioning shoe with the attachment shaft, which can be formed as a clearance fit or also as a loose press fit.
  • both components are pressed onto the attachment shaft of the tensioning piston in a common processing step.
  • the components are easily set up and thus can be produced economically.
  • the assembly of the components is also simple and can be performed quickly.
  • the support element is preferably extrusion coated with the polymer plastic of the tensioning shoe, which produces an optimum contact between the tensioning shoe and the support element and which also can be produced easily and economically.
  • the tensioning shoe on the side facing the tensioning piston has an over-dimensioned recess adapted to the support element with at least two projecting locking tabs, which are arranged on opposing edges of the recess and in which the supported element is pressed and locked.
  • the tensioning shoe is provided with a slot, which is open on one side and which is aligned parallel to the side facing the tensioning piston and which is adapted to the support element and in which the support element is pushed and fixed through the placement of the tensioning shoe onto the support shaft of the tensioning piston.
  • the support hole of the support element can also preferably have a narrow section, which can be formed, for example, by an inward deviation from the circular hole edge.
  • the reinforcement of the locking of the support element on the support shaft is here caused by a partial plastic deformation of the hole edge of the support element in the region of the throat.

  • a tensioning shoe 2 made from a polymer plastic is pressed with a central support hole 3 directly onto the cylindrical attachment shaft 4 of a tensioning piston 5 .
  • the tensioning shoe 2 projects over the tensioning piston 5 in the direction of motion 6 of the not-shown traction mechanism and each has a guide crossbar 7 for lateral guiding of the traction mechanism. Due to the smaller diameter of the attachment shaft 4 relative to the main part 8 of the tensioning piston 5 , a shoulder 9 is formed, which is used as a stop for the tensioning shoe 2 .
  • a disk-shaped support element 11 made from steel with a central support hole 12 is pushed up to the shoulder 9 on the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 and welded with the main part 8 of the tensioning piston 5 .
  • the tensioning shoe 2 is pressed with its central support hole 3 up to contact with the support element 11 on the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 .
  • the force transmission from the tensioning shoe 2 into the tensioning piston 5 is improved by the support element 11 .
  • generated bending moments 10 are absorbed by the support element 11 and introduced into the tensioning piston 5 , so that the load in the support hole 3 of the tensioning shoe 2 becomes significantly less.
  • a disadvantage is the increased processing expense for the mounting of the components and possible deformation and twisting of the support element 11 and the tensioning piston 5 caused by the welding.
  • the support element 11 is extrusion coated with the polymer plastic of the tensioning shoe 2 .
  • the unit formed in this way from the tensioning shoe 2 and the support element 11 is pressed with its support holes 3 , 12 until contact of the support element 11 with the shoulder 9 on the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 .
  • the pairing of support hole 12 of the support element 11 with the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 forms a fixed press fit, so that the force transmission between the tensioning shoe 2 and the tensioning piston 5 is performed essentially via the support element 11 .
  • the pairing of the support hole 3 of the tensioning shoe 2 with the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 is constructed as a clearance fit or as a loose press fit.
  • the tensioning shoe 2 has on its inside 13 facing the tensioning piston 5 an under-dimensioned recess 14 . 1 , which is adapted to the support element 11 and in which the support element 11 is pressed.
  • the unit formed by the pre-mounting of the support element 11 in the tensioning shoe 2 is installed by pressing until the support element 11 contacts the shoulder 9 on the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 , wherein the pairing of the support hole 12 of the support element 11 with the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 forms, in turn, a fixed press fit.
  • the force transmission from the tensioning shoe 2 into the tensioning piston 5 has a very favorable construction also for this construction.
  • the tensioning shoe 2 on the inside 13 facing the tensioning piston 5 has an over-dimensioned recess 14 . 2 , which is adapted to the support element 11 and which is provided with at least two projecting locking tabs 16 arranged on opposing edges 15 of the recess 14 . 2 .
  • the support element 11 is pressed into the recess 14 . 2 and locked behind the locking tabs 16 .
  • the unit formed by the pre-mounting of the support element 11 in the tensioning shoe 2 is installed by pressing until the support element 11 contacts the shoulder 9 on the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 , wherein the pairing of the support hole 12 of the support element 11 forms, in turn, a fixed press fit with the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 . Therefore, for this construction the force transmission from the tensioning shoe 2 into the tensioning piston 5 is also optimal with a simple and economical setup.
  • the tensioning shoe 2 is provided with a slot 17 , which is open on one side and which is aligned parallel to the inside 13 facing the tensioning piston 5 and which is adapted to the support element 11 .
  • the support element 11 is pushed laterally into the slot 17 and fixed on the support shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 by pressing the unit formed from the tensioning shoe 2 and the support element 11 .
  • the tensioning shoe 5 is pressed onto the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 until the support element 11 contacts the shoulder 9 , and the pairing of the support hole 12 of the support element 11 with the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 forms a fixed press fit.
  • a favorable force transmission is also realized from the tensioning shoe 2 into the tensioning piston 5 in connection with a simple and economical setup.
  • the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 and the support hole 12 of the support element 11 each have shaped elements 18 . 1 and 18 . 2 , respectively, corresponding geometrically to each other for mutual directional fixing.
  • the shaped element 18 . 1 of the tensioning piston 5 is formed as a one-sided flattened section 19 . 1 of the circular cross section of the attachment shaft 4 and the shaped element 18 . 2 of the support element 11 is formed as a corresponding one-sided flattened section 19 . 2 of the circular support hole 12 in the form of a secant.
  • the support hole 12 of the support element 11 has throat sections 20 , which are formed in the present case by a formation of the hole edge 21 of the support hole 12 in the form of a hexagon polygonal secant course 22 .
  • the partial plastic deformation of the hole edge 21 caused in this way during the pressing of the unit formed from the tensioning shoe 2 and the support element 11 on the attachment shaft 4 of the tensioning piston 5 a reinforcement of the locking of the support element 11 on the support shaft 4 is produced. Therefore, the connection of the tensioning shoe 2 , support element 11 , and tensioning piston 5 can be loaded overall in a more stable and stronger way.
