Description
"DOUBLE STRUCTURE SYNCHRONIZER RING AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF"
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to a double structure synchronizer ring and a method for manufacturing it. More particularly, the present invention relates to a mechanically combined brass-steel synchronizer ring, such that the synchronizer possess high structural strength, light in weight, easy to manufacture and is cost effective. Moreover, the obtained light weight synchronizer achieves the requisite decrease in moment of inertia and decreased requirement of shifting force while synchronization. The process is also highly consistent and provides a high production rate.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
The manual transmission gear box is generally provided in all automobiles with manual transmission and automatic manual transmission for providing different speed and torque to the moving automobile as per the requirement of driving condition. A Gear box comprises of more than three gear pairs for decreasing or increasing speed of the vehicle. In order to change the speed of vehicle, gear engaged with the output shaft must be altered with nearby gear. This process of altering gears is called synchronization. To achieve this, synchronizer ring are used in manual transmission gear box.
The transmission system of the gears plays an important role in determining the behavior of automobile with respect to gear shift comfort. Said Synchronizer mechanisms are provided for the smooth and noiseless synchronization while gear shift. The key
characteristics required for the synchronizer ring to function effectively are: (i) that the coefficient of dynamic friction with respect to a mating member is large in order to synchronize two gears by frictionally engaging a tapered portion which is the mating member, and (ii) that the synchronizer ring has high wear resistance, i.e., sufficient mechanical strength and anti-abrasion characteristic in sliding with the mating member.
There are three different types of synchronizer ring, according to number of friction surfaces they possess, that are in common use i.e., i) single cone which have only one ring with only one friction surface (see Fig.1), ii) double cone which have an assembly of three rings with two friction surfaces and iii) triple cone having three rings assembly with three friction surfaces. i) Single cone synchronizer ring:
Said ring comprises of a single ring with one friction surface, and is used when torque difference between synchronizing gears is small and requirement of shifting comfort is less. ii) Double cone synchronizer ring:
Said synchronizer ring comprises of three rings with total of two friction surfaces comprising of outer ring and inner ring with one friction surface, or intermediate ring with two friction surfaces, and is used when torque difference between synchronizing gears is medium and requirement of shifting comfort is needed. iii) Triple cone synchronizer ring:
Said synchronizer ring comprises of three rings with total three friction surfaces further comprising of outer ring with one friction surface and inner ring with two friction surface, and is used when torque difference between synchronizing gear is high and requirement of shifting comfort is high.
In manual transmission gear box the selection of type of synchronizer ring is based on torque difference between mating component and requirement of shifting comfort.
Popularly used conventional single cone synchronizer ring 1A is as shown in Fig. 1. The single cone synchronizer developed so far, widely available and popularly used establishes a requisite of synchronizer rings to be made of frictional material; wherein mostly with Brass (Cu-Zn alloy) is used to obtain good frictional property.
Referring Fig.1 said conventional synchronizer ring 1A are preferably made from forging, wherein said conventional synchronizer ring 1A comprises of: outer face 102, plurality of teeth 101, an inner face 103, lugs 104, annular grooves 105, axial grooves 106. Said inner face 103 is provided for contacting the gear cone. Said plurality of teeth 101 are provided at a predetermined interval to the extreme outer periphery of conventional synchronizer ring 1A. Said lugs 104 are for engaging with slot of corresponding member. To the inner face 103 of the conventional synchronizer ring 1A a plurality of annular grooves 105 are provided for applying friction force. Further, said axial grooves 106 are provided, for allowing drainage of lubricating oil. Said annular grooves 105 and axial grooves 106 are provided by machining process.
At the time of synchronization said plurality of teeth 101 are subjected to shifting force applied by mating member and are in friction with mating member in order to synchronize the speed of gear. The lugs 104 are subjected to the tangential force from mating member while synchronization, that is why plurality of teeth 101 of synchronizer needs to be strong enough to withstand load applied while synchronization and should be wear resistant as there is frictional movement between synchronizer 1A and mating part. The single cone synchronizer rings are preferably made from hot forging of brass since these are stronger than those obtained from castings. Further in order to obtain the requisite strength of the synchronizer ring conventional methods uses hot forging process. However, Hot forging process is not consistent as this process includes shrinkages of materials.
Furthermore conventional ring comprises of annular and axial grooves made through machining which is a time consuming process.
However, the conventional synchronizer rings are entirely made from brass thereby making it bulky. Also brass not being heat -treatable material the wear resistant property of the conventional synchronizer ring of brass is poor which in turn wear out the teeth 101 of synchronizer ring. The strength of brass is less and it also cannot tolerate heat treatment and thereby fails to provide strength to the synchronizer ring. The larger size of the synchronizer ring is required in order to attain the required strength which thereby makes it bulky and imparts more moment of inertia which results in higher shifting force.
Further, the synchronizer ring made entirely from Cu-Zn alloy has to offer high strength and high friction force, which implies there is balance between mechanical and frictional property. In order to improve frictional property, it is necessary to compromise on strength of synchronizer ring.
There were many categories, according to material, of synchronizer ring popularly available in industry as listed below:
1. Brass
2. Sintered steel
3. Sintered steel and brass
4. Steel and molybdenum coating
5. Steel and fiber coating There were many types of heat treatment available to improve strength and anti-abrasion characteristics of steel component in turns of hardness of components as per requirement:
1. Through hardening
2. Case carburizing
3. Carbo-nitriding
4. Induction hardening
5. Anodizing
PRIOR ART:
1. US patent 4267912 granted to Borg- Warner- Stieber describes the fiber coating on annular body of synchronizer ring by cementing. Fiber coating imparts good friction property. However, this device limited to induction hardening and anodizing type of synchronizer. Moreover, this device has occasional issue of peeling of fiber coating as it is cemented on
annular body. Further, this device does not allow any machining process after coating to get final accurate dimension. Furthermore, fiber coating is very expensive, which makes the product expensive. US patent 6014807 granted to Hyundai Motor Company of Korea describes a double-structure synchronizer ring using copper powder sintering agent, to provide frictional property with an external ring body portion comprising sintering metal. The sintered synchronizer ring heat treatable by only anodizing process as its temperature is lower compare to any other heat treatment. Further machining operation is not possible after sintering to achieve final required dimensions. However this invention comprises sintering process which is complex and relatively expensive. US patent 4091904 describes wear-resistant, molybdenum sprayed on to one of the friction cone ring members whereas the other friction cone member has a manganese-alloyed carbon steel sprayed thereon. However, only induction hardening is possible on this device. Moreover, products of this invention have occasional issue of peeling of molybdenum coating and expensive to manufacture. US patent 4679681 describes a double structure synchronizer ring formed from composite material, which is made by roll cladding two metals. However invention is not generally used in practice as there is particular material can be cladded by roll cladding process. Further no heat treatment can be done to provide strength and anti-abrasion property in turns of hardness.
DISADVANTAGES OF PRIOR ART:
The prior art suffers from all or at least any of the following
disadvantages :
• Brass Synchronizer Ring:
1. Brass cannot be heat-treated that is why to provide strength and anti-abrasion property ring should be large enough. This makes synchronizer ring bulky, which in turns increase moment of inertia, thereby increase the shifting force.
2. Brass has poor wear resistant property that is its teeth gets wear out in short time.
3. Made from hot forging process, which is not consistent process as this includes shrinkages of material.
4. It comprises of machining process, which is time consuming and is expensive.
· Sintered Steel Synchronizer ring:
1. No friction surface is there.
• Steel and brass synchronizer ring by sintering:
1. This synchronizer rings can only be subjected to anodizing type of heat- treatment process.
2. Further machining not possible after sintering to achieve final accurate dimensions.
3. Method of manufacturing is complex and expensive.
• Steel with molybdenum coating synchronizer ring:
1. This synchronizer ring can only be subjected to induction hardening process.
2. Products of this invention have occasional issue of peeling of molybdenum coating.
3. Further machining not possible after coating to achieve final accurate dimensions.
4. Product is expensive to manufacture.
5. Shift quality is not adequate.
· Steel with fiber coating synchronizer ring:
1. Very expensive to manufacture.
2. Has occasional issue of peeling of fiber coating.
3. Further machining not possible after fiber coating to achieve final accurate dimensions.
Thus there is an unmet need to come up with the invention that obviates the problem of prior art.
