Definitions
- the invention relates to a rocker arm of a valve train of an internal combustion engine, with two rare walls, which are connected to one another by a crossbar, which crossbar acts on its underside at one end on at least one gas exchange valve and is mounted on a head of a support element at the other end via a dome-like molding , wherein at the other end a clip is applied, by means of which the rocker arm is fixed in position in its pivoting position on the head
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a rocker arm of the aforementioned type, in which the disadvantages cited are eliminated
- this object is achieved in that a central section of the flat material clip rests on the underside of the crossbeam at the other end and has a recess below the indentation, behind the edge of which the head of the support element is held, each side wall being provided with a tab-like extension is encompassed on its outer surface, which extends laterally from the central section and is snapped at its end onto an upper side or a contact surface which is essentially parallel to the upper side in such a way that the end of the extension overlaps at least more than half a width of the upper side or contact surface
- a type of clip can be used on a wide variety of types of rocker arms or support elements. This lowers the costs.
- the clip can also be assembled relatively easily by fastening (snapping) the ends of the tab-like lugs onto the clip the top of the side walls ensures an excellent captive fastening of the clip If necessary, the ends can also be clipped into a recess in an outer surface of the corresponding side wall, or the ends (at least one) can also be guided in corresponding recesses or between material elevations on the upper sides of the side walls. This effectively prevents the clip from slipping.
- the clip can be easily assembled, it is proposed in concrete terms of the invention to provide at least one attachment of the clip with a section which is bent back toward the outer surface of the side wall. Due to this section, the clip can be easily expanded (if necessary manually) and snapped onto the top during assembly.
- the clip should preferably consist of sheet steel or another resilient material, such as plastic.
- the rocker arm should preferably have a U-shaped configuration when viewed in cross-sectional direction. Different configurations are also conceivable, including H-shaped or only U-like configurations.
- rocker arm is generally made of sheet steel, preferably thin-walled.
- the end in the area of the gas exchange valve is designed to be particularly low-mass in order to minimize the moment of inertia.
- the recess is circular. So that in this case the head of the support element can be easily mounted behind the recess, the recess should, for example, be slotted or can have tongue-shaped recesses.
- Figure 1 is a partially sectioned longitudinal view of a rocker arm according to the invention in the installed state and the
- FIGS. 2 to 5 enlarged sectional views shown across the rocker arm in the region of the indentation for the support element.
- a rocker arm 1 of a valve train of an internal combustion engine is shown.
- the rocker arm 1 is preferably made of sheet steel in a forming process.
- the crossbeam 4 has on its underside 5 at one end 6 a system for at least one gas exchange valve 7. At the other end 8 it has a dome-shaped indentation 9, in which a head 10 of a support element 11 is mounted in the assembled state.
- the rocker arm 1 is connected to the support element 11 via a bracket 12, which guarantees free movement of the rocker arm 1 in its pivoting direction on the head 10.
- the clip 12 consists, for example, of thin-walled steel sheet and is applied via a central section 13 to the underside 5 of the crossbar 4 in the region of its other end 8.
- the central section 13 has a recess 14 which is aligned with the indentation 9.
- the head 10 of the support element 11 is clipped behind the recess 14, which is oval when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the rocker arm.
- Each side wall 2, 3 is surrounded on its outer surface 18, 19 by a tab-like extension 16, 17 of the clip 12.
- These lugs 16, 17 advantageously lie directly on outer surfaces 18, 19 of the side walls 2, 3. Ends 20, 21 of the lugs 16, 17 are snapped onto the upper sides 22, 23 of the side walls 2, 3. In doing so, they overlap at least a large part of a width of the side walls 2, 3.
- at least one of the lugs 16, 17, starting from its end 20, 21 running on the upper side with one towards the outside bent portion 29 to provide.
- the clamp 12 can simply be widened and snapped onto the corresponding upper sides 22, 23.
- Figure 2 discloses the simplest variant of the clip 12 with its symmetrical design
- FIG. 3 it can also be provided, for example, to provide the side wall 3 on its outer surface 19 with a slot-like recess 25 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the lever.
- This recess has a contact surface 24 into which the end 21 of the corresponding extension 17 is snapped both side walls 2, 3 are provided with such a design
- FIG. 4 it is provided that at least on the side of the side wall 2, on the upper side 22, two spaced elevations 26, 27 are applied (see FIG. 1).
- the end 20 of the extension 16 runs between them. This ensures that the clamp 11 is securely secured against displacement the drag at 1 created
- the completely preassembled unit can be supplied to the engine manufacturer and installed there without any further assembly work in the internal combustion engine Protection against tilting of the rocker arm 1 on the head 10 of the support element 11 implemented.
- This connection should preferably be maintained over the entire service life of the internal combustion engine List of reference numbers
