Definitions

  • the invention relates to a camshaft for motor vehicle engines, in particular, having an end element arranged in / on the camshaft and fixedly connected to the camshaft, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such termination elements are well known and serve as an axial termination of the camshaft and as a drive element for a driven side arranged auxiliary unit.
  • end elements are made of solid material used, which are firmly connected to an axial end side of the camshaft and which are designed so that they meet the existing requirements for a torque to be transmitted long term.
  • the disadvantage here, however, that such end elements of solid material on the one hand are heavy and thereby increase a total weight of the camshaft or the engine and thus the motor vehicle and on the other hand consuming and thus expensive to manufacture.
  • the invention is concerned with the problem of improving a camshaft of the type mentioned above in that Overall, a weight-reduced camshaft can be created, which is also cheaper to produce.
  • the invention is based on the general idea, responsible for the transmission of the drive torque to an accessory final element, which is arranged axially in or on the camshaft and fixedly connected thereto, form as a sheet metal part.
  • a sheet metal part has in comparison to a made of solid material terminating element a significantly lower weight, which has a positive effect on an energy balance of the equipped with the camshaft according to the invention motor vehicle.
  • the production of a formed as a sheet metal part closure element is much easier and cheaper than a comparable end element made of solid material. It is also of particular advantage that such a closure element can be produced in virtually any shape without the need for costly changes to the production machines. It is sufficient, for example, a simple exchange of the punch and die in the appropriate forming tool. Trained as a sheet metal part closing element transmits the torque load occurring in such a way from the axial end portion of the camshaft on the accessory that the torque load occurring over the entire life the camshaft or the final element can be easily transferred.
  • the end element is punched, pulled and / or hardened.
  • Modern punching methods enable production of the terminating element according to the invention with low unit costs and high precision at the same time.
  • High manufacturing quality with low unit costs are nowadays crucial competitive advantages, which can thus be realized by the final element according to the invention.
  • Hardening of the end element increases the wear resistance of the same and extends its life.
  • the closing element is glued over its first coupling region fixed to the camshaft, pressed, welded or bolted via a formed on the first coupling portion peripheral thread which cooperates with a mating thread on the camshaft.
  • the second coupling region of the closing element is designed as a bearing shell or groove running transversely to the camshaft axis and open towards the axial end of the camshaft, thereby enlarging a bearing surface of a complementary driver and engaging in the bearing shell or the groove of the auxiliary assembly arranged on the output side.
  • the second coupling region designed as a bearing shell or as a groove preferably engages in recesses in the camshaft jacket which are open toward the axial end of the camshaft.
  • the bearing shell or groove which is open towards the axial end of the camshaft is completely free in its design, so that in particular a longitudinal extent of the bearing shell extending transversely to the camshaft axis can be adapted to the respective requirements.
  • Fig. 1a an axial end portion of a camshaft 1 is shown, on which a fixedly connected to the camshaft 1 terminating element 2 is arranged.
  • the end element 2 closes the camshaft 1 in the axial direction and is at the same time designed as a drive element for a driven side arranged and not shown accessory.
  • the closing element 2 is designed as a shaped sheet metal part, wherein it can be stamped, drawn and / or hardened, for example.
  • the end element 2 has a first coupling region 3, via which it is fixedly connected to the camshaft 1, and a second coupling region 4, via which it can be drive-connected to the output-side auxiliary device.
  • the closing element 2 penetrates according to the Sectional views in Fig. 1a and b in a circular cylindrical cavity 5 of the camshaft 1 and is at least partially with parts of the first coupling region 3 on an inner circumferential surface 6 of the camshaft 1 at.
  • an attachment of the end element 2 can be realized via its first coupling region 3 with the camshaft 1 via an adhesive bond, a compression or a weld, wherein it is also conceivable that a peripheral thread, for example an external thread, is provided on the first coupling region 3 a mating thread, such as an internal thread, on the inner circumferential surface 6 of the camshaft 1 cooperates and thereby realizes the attachment of the closing element 2 on the camshaft 1 via a screw.
  • a screw connection can facilitate replacement or replacement of the end element 2 according to the invention.
  • For a high operating or service life designed as a sheet metal part closure element 2 is preferably cured.
  • the second coupling region 4 of the end element 2 is designed as a bearing shell 8 extending transversely to the camshaft axis 7 and open towards the axial end of the camshaft 1, which, for example, has a groove-like shape and thereby enlarges a bearing surface of a complementary design and in the bearing shell 8 engaging, not shown driver of the output side arranged auxiliary unit.
  • the bearing shell 8 and the groove extends gem. 1a in the image plane, whereas they perpendicular to FIG. 1b runs to the image plane.
  • the second coupling region 4 may have different, extending transversely to the camshaft axis 7, longitudinal extent, it being conceivable that, as shown in Fig.
  • the second coupling portion 4 of two coupling portions 9 and 9 ' is formed, which preferably radially outside the outer diameter of the Camshaft 1 lie. It is of course also conceivable that the two coupling portions 9 and 9 'adjoin one another and thereby together form the second coupling region 4, starting from the camshaft axis 7 radially outwards to at most the inner diameter of the camshaft 1. Also to be enclosed by the invention is a second coupling region 4, which extends starting from the camshaft axis 7 radially outward to beyond the outer diameter of the camshaft 1 addition. Such a second coupling region 4 would be realized, for example, by the fact that the two coupling sections 9 and 9 'according to FIG. 2d each extend radially inward as far as the camshaft axis 7 and touch each other there.
  • auxiliary unit engages trained as a bearing shell 8 or as a groove second coupling region 4 in the axial end of the camshaft 1 open recesses 10 in the camshaft casing 11 a.
  • the two coupling sections 9 and 9 ' are formed complementary to the recesses 10 in the camshaft casing 11, so that a positive connection is formed. This will become independent of the selected mounting of the closing element 2 on the camshaft 1, the closing element 2 rotatably connected to the camshaft 1.
  • the closing element 2 seals the camshaft 1 axially tightly, that is, the first coupling region 3 is in a form-fitting and tight manner against the inner circumferential surface 6 of the camshaft 1.
  • FIGS. 2a-2d in each case a closing element 2 is shown which has a similar construction to the closing element 2 according to FIGS. 1a-1d, the two coupling sections 9 and 9 'being extended radially inwards. It is conceivable that the two coupling portions 9 and 9 'according to the Fig. 2d are extended so far radially inward that they, as indicated by the broken line drawn, touch.
  • the two coupling sections 9 and 9 ' are connected to each other via connecting webs 18.
  • Such an extended second coupling region 4 increases the bearing surface for a driver engaging in the bearing shell 8.
  • FIGS. 3a-3d show a variant of a terminating element 2, wherein in comparison to FIGS. 1 and 2, the first coupling region 3 is extended in the direction of the second coupling region 4 so as to create a connection between the two coupling sections 9 and 9 ' , As a result, in contrast to FIGS. 1 and 2, a particularly stable second coupling region 4 is created. Furthermore engages the first coupling portion 3 of FIG. 3b significantly further into the cylindrical inner cavity 5 of the camshaft 1, so that here a particularly good connection between the end member 2 and the camshaft 1 is achieved.
  • the end element 2 is arranged completely in the inner hollow space 5 of the camshaft 1.
  • the second coupling region 4 extends radially outwards and ends before the inner diameter of the camshaft 1 is reached.
  • the recess 10 in the camshaft jacket 11 is not provided in this case.
