The invention relates to a bearing device (10) for a drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one shaft (14), a drive part (16) connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the shaft (14) and at least one bearing ring (36) of the shaft (14). which by means of a tensioning device (50) in the axial direction (44) of the shaft can be acted upon by a force, wherein the bearing ring (36) by means of the tensioning device (50) due to a relative rotation of the drive member (16) to the bearing ring (36) with the Force in the axial direction (44) of the shaft (14) can be acted upon.
The invention relates to a storage device for a drive train of a motor vehicle, in particular of a utility vehicle, specified in the preamble of claim 1. Art.
The DE 10 2005 027 082 A1 discloses a bearing device for motor vehicles, with two rolling bearings whose outer rings are arranged in a housing and whose inner rings on a shaft and a clamping device for axially clamping the outer rings relative to the inner rings. The clamping device comprises an intermediate element which allows a change in the axial preload of the rolling bearing by load-dependent change in its thickness dimension. The intermediate element is designed, for example, as an electrically controllable piezoelectric element.
This object is achieved by a storage device for a drive train of a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments with expedient and non-trivial developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
An inventive storage device for a drive train of a motor vehicle, with at least one shaft, with a shaft rotatably connected to the drive part and with at least one bearing ring of the shaft, which is acted upon by means of a clamping device in the axial direction of the shaft, characterized by, that the bearing ring of the shaft can be acted upon by means of the tensioning device as a result of a relative rotation of the drive part to the bearing ring with the force in the axial direction of the shaft.
The shaft of the storage device according to the invention is driven by the drive part. As a function of a torque introduced by the drive part onto the shaft, a rotation of a region of the shaft via which this torque is introduced into the shaft takes place relative to a region of the shaft arranged downstream in the direction of this torque flow, in which the bearing ring of the shaft, for example is rotatably connected to the shaft is arranged. In other words, this means that a shaft of the shaft rotates in response to the amount of torque introduced into the shaft via the drive part, that is to say twisted. Furthermore, this means that it results in a relative rotation of the drive member to the bearing ring of the shaft, and also as a function of the amount of torque introduced. By means of the tensioning device, the bearing ring can now be loaded with the force in the axial direction as a result of this relative rotation of the drive part to the bearing ring, whereby an axial preload of a bearing, which comprises said bearing ring, depending on the amount of applied and introduced into the shaft Torque is enabled.
The said bearing comprises, for example, not only said bearing ring, which is designed, for example, as rotatably connected to the shaft bearing inner ring, but also a corresponding bearing outer ring, the bearing inner ring and the bearing outer ring are supported by the intermediary of bearing bodies, in particular rolling elements such as tapered rollers against each other , As a result of the action of the bearing ring in the form of the bearing inner ring of the bearing inner ring is thus clamped relative to the bearing outer ring, whereby an axial preload of the bearing is realized in dependence on the amount of the introduced torque.
The bracing device of the storage device according to the invention thus shown thus requires no to be controlled and energy consuming actuators. Therefore, the storage device according to the invention not only has a low complexity, a low number of parts and the associated low cost but also a low weight, which benefits the energy consumption of the motor vehicle for the operation desselbigen. Furthermore, the probability of failure of the storage device according to the invention is classified as extremely low due to the low complexity.
This torque-dependent bearing preload reduces the power loss of the bearing, especially in low and medium torque ranges, resulting in a further reduction of the energy requirement for the operation of the motor vehicle. For example, if a drive unit for driving the motor vehicle as Engine designed so this means a significant fuel reduction and a reduction of CO 2 emissions. In comparison to known storage devices, a reduction of storage losses by up to 30% is possible, which improves the efficiency of the storage device.
In addition to the fact that no additional sensors and / or control units are necessary, the storage device according to the invention has the advantage that it has only a small space requirement and requires only a minimal change of existing components and thus virtually in existing components almost without time and costly change effort can be integrated. Furthermore, a retrofitting of existing systems with the storage device according to the invention is possible.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bracing device at least one control part associated with the drive part and at least partially substantially ramp-shaped and at least one corresponding, the bearing element associated and at least partially substantially ramp-shaped operating part, wherein the control part and the actuating part mediating at least one switching part, in particular a rolling element, act together. Advantageously, the drive part with the control part and the bearing ring with the actuating part is integrally formed, which keeps the number of parts and thus the cost of the storage device in a small frame. The respective ramp shape is formed, for example, at least substantially parallel to the radial direction. In any way, therefore, the relative rotation of the shaft or the regions of the shaft and thus the relative rotation of the drive member to the bearing ring by the control part and the actuating part can be converted into an axial force loading of the bearing ring of the shaft and thus in an axial movement desselbigen, whereby the Torque-dependent and thus needs-based bearing preload is realized. The rolling elements, under the mediation of the control part and the actuating part cooperate, for example, is designed as a cylindrical roller, whereby high, axial forces can be transmitted.
At this point it should be noted that the shaft is supported for example by means of at least two bearings, both of which comprise a described, non-rotatably connected to the shaft bearing inner ring and a corresponding bearing outer ring, wherein the bearing outer ring is fixed for example in a housing. These bearings are, for example, tapered roller bearings, which are arranged in a known X or O arrangement or in any other arrangement. However, the storage device according to the invention is applicable to any type of rolling bearings, which should advantageously transfer backlash axial and radial forces. For this purpose, a bearing preload is usually required, which, as described, is achieved by the storage device according to the invention in a simple manner.
These remaining disadvantages of such an active actuator as well as the disadvantages of increased storage losses over the entire range of applications are overcome by the storage device according to the invention.
Advantageously, the control part on a bearing ring facing the end face of the drive part and the actuating part are arranged on a drive part facing the end face of the bearing ring. This allows a targeted and direct power transmission and a low space requirement of the storage device according to the invention.
Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment and from the drawings. The features and feature combinations mentioned above in the description as well as the features and feature combinations mentioned below in the figure description and / or shown alone in the figure can be used not only in the respectively specified combination, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without the scope of To leave invention.
1 a perspective view of an embodiment of the storage device according to the invention;
2 a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the storage device according to 1 ; and
3 two schematic views to illustrate the principle of action of the storage device according to the preceding figures.
The 1 shows a storage device 10 for a drive train of a commercial vehicle with a drive pinion 12 having wave 14 , rotatably with a drive part in the form of a coupling flange 16 connected is. The non-rotatable connection of the shaft 14 with the coupling flange 16 is about a toothing 18 realized, over which when driving the Nutzkraftwagens of an internal combustion engine, a torque from the coupling flange 16 on the wave 14 is transferable, which in turn via their drive pinion 12 a Hinterachsdifferentialgetriebe drives.
The wave 14 is in a partially illustrated housing 20 over a first tapered roller bearing 22 as well as a second tapered roller bearing 24 stored, with the tapered roller bearings 22 and 24 are arranged in an O-arrangement. The coupling flange 16 as well as the tapered roller bearings 22 and 24 are from a storage facility 10 includes.
The tapered roller bearing 22 includes a bearing outer ring 28 , which rotates in the housing 20 is fixed, as well as one with the shaft 14 rotatably connected bearing inner ring 30 , The bearing outer ring 28 and the bearing inner ring 30 are supported by means of rolling elements in the form of tapered rollers together. The tapered roller bearing 22 also includes a cage 32 holding the tapered rollers in position.
The same applies to the tapered roller bearing 24 , which also rotatably in the housing 20 specified bearing outer ring 34 and a rotation with the shaft 14 connected bearing inner ring 36 and rolling elements in the form of tapered rollers and a cage 38 includes.
Is the bearing inner ring 30 tapered roller bearing 22 for example, by a press fit with the shaft 14 rotatably connected, so is the non-rotatable connection of the bearing inner ring 36 tapered roller bearing 24 with the wave 14 about a gearing 40 realized. In the toothing 40 is a toothing of the shaft 14 in engagement with a corresponding toothing of a toothed sleeve 42 , which with the bearing inner ring 36 rotatably connected, for example, welded, is. This allows a relative displacement of the bearing inner ring 36 to the wave 14 in the axial direction of the shaft 14 according to a directional arrow 44 , In the radial direction of the shaft 14 is between the bearing inner ring 36 and the wave 14 a sliding bush 46 arranged the friction in the relative displacement of the bearing inner ring 36 to the wave 14 reduced to a minimum and the transmission of radial forces of the bearing inner ring 36 on the wave 14 allows.
In the axial direction of the shaft 14 according to the directional arrow 44 between the bearing inner ring 30 and the bearing inner ring 36 is also a compression sleeve 48 arranged, on the one hand on the bearing inner ring 30 and on the other hand on the bearing inner ring 36 supported by appropriate attacks.
At the storage facility 10 is a backlash-free transmission of axial forces, ie of the shaft in the axial direction 14 according to the directional arrow 44 acting forces, desired what a bearing preload of the storage device 10 or the tapered roller bearing 22 and 24 required in the axial direction.
It is desirable at high, provided by the internal combustion engine and above the coupling flange 16 into the wave 14 introduced torques to provide a high bearing preload, ie a high amount of axial force, while at low and medium torques, a reduced bearing preload is desirable and has a positive effect on the efficiency of the storage device 10 effect.
To illustrate such a torque-dependent bearing preload, so a strain of the bearing inner ring 36 to the bearing outer ring 34 tapered roller bearing 24 , is a tensioning device 50 provided by means of which as a result of a relative rotation of the coupling flange 16 to the bearing inner ring 36 this bearing inner ring 36 in the axial direction of the shaft 14 according to the directional arrow 44 can be acted upon by force and thus relative to the bearing outer ring 34 is clamped, whereby said bearing preload can be displayed.
The relative rotation of the rotation with the shaft 14 connected coupling flange 16 to which also rotatably with the shaft 14 connected bearing inner ring 36 takes place in that an area of the shaft 14 , in which the torque via the coupling flange 16 is initiated due to elasticities of the shaft 14 relative to a region of the shaft arranged downstream in the direction of the torque flow 14 twisted. So that means that the area of the wave 14 in which the coupling flange 16 is connected to the shaft, relative to the area in which the bearing ring 36 is arranged, twisted, these being relative Rotation takes place as a function of the amount of torque introduced. At high torques thus takes place a high relative rotation. At low torques there is less or no relative rotation.
This relative rotation about the axis of rotation of the shaft 14 is now in such a movement of the bearing inner ring 36 or in an application of this with a force in the axial direction of the shaft 14 shown that the bracing 50 a the coupling flange 16 associated, with this integrally formed and substantially ramp-shaped control part 52 and a corresponding, the bearing inner ring 36 associated, with this integrally formed and also substantially ramp-shaped operating part 54 having, which mediated by respective cylindrical rollers 56 interact.
The control part 52 is doing one on the bearing inner ring 36 facing end face of the coupling flange 16 arranged while the actuating part 54 on one of the coupling flange 16 associated end face of the bearing inner ring 36 is arranged. In synopsis with 3 becomes clear that at a relative rotation of the coupling flange 16 and thus the control part 52 relative to the bearing inner ring 36 and thus to the operating part 54 the cylindrical roller 56 relative to ramped edges of the control part 52 and the operating part 54 along rolls and thus the control part 52 and the operating part 54 moved apart. Now the control part 52 over the coupling flange 16 in the axial direction of the shaft 14 is supported, and also the bearing inner ring 36 over the tapered rollers and the bearing outer ring 34 on a corresponding shoulder 58 of the housing 20 in the axial direction of the shaft 14 is supported, there is a force in the axial direction of the shaft 14 which results from this tension.
The amount of this tension and thus the amount of this axial force, which represents the bearing preload, depends on how far the cylindrical roller 56 on the corresponding flanks of the ramp-shaped control part 52 or operating part 54 migrates along, which in turn depends on the amount of relative rotation of the coupling flange 16 to the bearing inner ring 36 depends. This in turn depends on the amount of torque introduced. The higher the torque, the higher the relative movement of the cylindrical roller 56 to the ramped flanks and the higher the bearing preload. This means that very high torques result in very high bearing preloads. Reduces the torque, so also reduces the relative rotation between the coupling flange and the bearing inner ring 36 and thus also the bearing preload.
The formation of the axial force, which by a directional arrow 59 is indicated, wherein the relative rotation of the coupling flange 16 to the bearing inner ring 36 by a directional arrow 60 is indicated, is favored by the fact that the axial displacement of the bearing inner ring 36 relative to the shaft through the sliding bushing described 46 is favored, causing the on the bearing inner ring 36 applied force can flow at least almost completely into the bearing preload. As mentioned allows the gearing 40 this relative displacement of the bearing inner ring 36 to the wave 14 ,
The 2 presents this fact again schematically. The cylindrical roller 56 runs as well as the respective ramp shape of the control part 52 or the actuating part 54 at least substantially parallel to the radial direction of the shaft 14 according to a directional arrow 62 , It should be noted that, of course, a plurality of cylindrical rollers 56 may be provided or provided, which held by a corresponding cage in position and in the circumferential direction of the shaft 14 are arranged distributed. Any such cylindrical roller 56 is a corresponding control part 52 or actuating part 54 assigned. The slope of the flanks of the respective ramp shape determines the amount of force in the axial direction, ie the bearing preload in dependence on the amount of relative rotation of the coupling flange 16 to the bearing inner ring 36 , A directional arrow 66 in the 2 indicates the rotation of the shaft 14 and the introduction of said torque via the coupling flange 16 into the wave 14 at.
