Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tappet in an internal combustion engine and a method of manufacturing it.
  • a helical groove 13 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of raw material for a tappet to make a core material 15, the surface of which is thermally sprayed by wear resistant material such as Fe metal to form a coating layer 17 which covers the helical groove 13.
  • the outer circumferential surface of the coating layer is ground to form a cylindrical portion 18, the end 19 of which is chamfered.
  • the cylindrical wear resistant coating layer 17 in which the groove 13 of the core material 15 is embedded is slightly left as a fine string-like portion 16, which is likely to peel off as small pieces.
  • a tappet in an internal combustion engine comprising a core material having a helical groove on the outer circumferential surface and a wear resistant coating layer which covers the outer circumferential surface of the core material, the end of the outer circumfential surface being chamfered, characterized in that in the vicinity of the end of the outer circumferential surface, said helical groove gradually becomes smaller in diameter toward the end, thereby preventing peaks of the helical groove from being exposed over the outer circumferential surface of said coating layer.
  • a tappet in an internal combustion engine comprising a core material having a helical groove on the outer circumferential surface and a wear resistant coating layer which covers the outer circumferential surface of the core material, the end of the outer circumfential surface being chamfered, characterized in that the end of said helical groove is terminated at a position slightly spaced from the end of the core, an annular groove being formed at the end of the helical groove, thereby preventing peaks of the helical groove from being exposed over the outer circumferential surface of said coating layer.
  • a tappet in an internal combustion engine comprising a core material having a helical groove on the outer circumferential surface and a wear resistant coating layer which covers the outer circumferential surface of the core material, the end of the outer circumfential surface being chamfered, characterized in that in the vicinity of the end of the outer circumferential surface, said helical groove gradually becomes smaller in diameter toward the end, the end of said helical groove is terminated at a position slightly spaced from the end of the core, an annular groove being formed at the end of the helical groove, thereby preventing peaks of the helical groove from being exposed over the outer circumferential surface of said coating layer.
  • a method of manufacturing a tappet in an internal combustion engine comprising the steps of forming a helical groove on the outer circumferential surface of a core material so that the groove may become smaller in diameter in the vicinity of the end of the core material; covering the outer circumferential surface with a wear resistant coating layer; and forming the outer circumferantial surface to an cylindrical surface, at least the end of the cylindrical surface being chamfered.
  • a method of manufacturing a tappet in an internal combustion engine comprising the steps of contacting the outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical core material with a cutting tool to give feed in an axial direction to form a helical groove on the outer circumferential surface of the core material while the core material is rotated on an axis; stopping the feed of the cutting tool when the helical groove reaches in the vicinity of the end of the core material to form an annular groove at the end of the helical groove; overing the outer circumferential surface of the core material with wear resistant coating layer; and finishing the outer circumferential surface to a cylindrical surface, at least the end of the cylindrical surface being chamfered.
  • a method of manufacturing a tappet in an internal combustion engine comprising the steps of contacting the outer circumferential surface of a core material with a cutting tool to give it feed in an axial direction while the core material is rotated on an axis; giving feed to the cutting tool toward the axis in the vicinity of the end of said core material to form a helical groove which gradually becomes smaller in diameter as it becomes closer to the end of the core material; stopping the feed of the cutting tool when the helical groove reaches to a predetermined position closer to the end of the core material to form an annular groove at then end of the helical groove; covering the outer circumferential surface with a wear resistant coating layer; and finishing the outer circumferential surface of the coating layer to a cylindrical surface, at least said end of the cylindrical surface being chamfered.
  • the helical groove gradually becomes smaller in diameter toward the end in the vicinity of the end of the core material, thereby preventing the helical groove from being exposed over the coating layer even if the upper and lower ends of the coating layer are chamfered.
  • the end of the helical groove is stopped before the end of the core material, and is connected with the annular groove, thereby preventing removal even if the chamfered portion is exposed owing to corrosion.
  • the tappet according to the present invention comprises the core material in which the helical groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface, and the wear resistant coating layer with which the outer circumferential surface is covered and the ends are chamfered, thereby providing a light weight body and relatively small inertia force, so that response and followability to reciprocal movement is improved. Furthermore; owing to wear resistance in frictional portion, durability will increase.
  • the groove of the core material is completely covered with the coating layer other than upper and lower ends, thereby avoiding thinner string portions as in a conventional ones and removal thereof.
  • metal thermal spraying it is suggested that the core material is immersed in melted metal, or plating is applied, but metal thermal spraying is more convenient and economical.
  • a cylindrical raw material 1 of light metal such as Al as shown in Fig. 1 is rotated on an axis , while a cutting tool contacts the outer circumferential surface 12. Feed is axially given by the cutting tool to form a helical groove 3 on the outer circumferential surface of the raw material 1. At the same time, adjacent to the raw material 1, additional feed is given to the cutting tool toward the axis so that the helical groove 3 gradually decreases in diameter toward the end of the raw material 1.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the second embodiment of a tappet according to the present invention.
  • feeds are given to the cutting tool in an axial direction and toward the axis, and the raw material 1 is immediately ground to the end thereof without stopping the feeds at near the end of the material 1, so that the helical groove 3 is formed all over the outer circumferential surface 1, and similar way to the first embodiment is then made.
  • the peaks 10 in the helical groove 3 of the material 5 are not exposed over the outer circumferential surface 8 of the coating layer 7.
  • the same numerals are alotted to the same members and parts in the first embodiment, and the details thereof are omitted.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates the third embodiment of a tappet according to the present invention.
  • feed is given to the cutting tool only in an axial direction, not toward the axis, so that the raw material is ground.
  • feed of the cutting tool is stopped, and terminates at a position slightly spaced from the end of the material 1. thereby forming a helical groove 3 having an annular groove 3a at the terminating end then a tappet is made by a way similar to the first embodiment.
