Abstract

The spring has a main leaf, which leads to an eye (5) particularly at the front of the spring in the direction of travel, and whose other end is connected to the vehicle chassis via a stem which is bent upwards. The stem is bent at an angle of less than 90 degrees with respect to the main leaf, when the spring is unloaded. With increasing spring loading the stem can adopt a position corresponding to a 90 deg. bend. The bending region is designed to bend elastically, and the end of the stem is able to pivot elastically, and to slide longitudinally in its mount. The stem can also be bent almost parallel to the main leaf, and the bending radius can have a value of approximately half the length of the linear portion of the stem.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Blattfeder für Fahrzeuge, insbe­ sondere für Nutzfahrzeuge, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a leaf spring for vehicles, in particular especially for commercial vehicles, according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Eine solche Feder ist beispielsweise aus DE-AS 12 27 784 be­ kannt. Um bei belasteter Feder eine bestimmte Progressivität zu erreichen, sind dort zwischen der Anlenkung an dem abge­ knickten Ende und dem horizontalen Hauptbereich der Feder noch besondere Mittel vorgesehen. Hierauf kommt es bei der vor­ liegenden Erfindung nicht an, d. h. auf solche Mittel soll ins­ besondere ohne Wirkverschlechterung der Feder verzichtet wer­ den können.Such a spring is for example from DE-AS 12 27 784 be knows. A certain progressivity when the spring is loaded to be reached there between the articulation on the buckled end and the main horizontal area of the spring still special funds are provided. This is what happens with the pending invention not d. H. on such means ins especially those who do without deterioration of the spring that can.

Bei einer gattungsgemäß einseitig abgeknickten Feder beschäf­ tigt sich die Erfindung mit dem Problem, dem über ein elasti­ sches Bindeglied fest am Fahrzeugrahmen verschraubten Federen­ de eine ausreichende Festigkeit zu geben und dabei die bela­ stungsabhängige Längenänderung zu gewährleisten.In the case of a spring bent on one side as a generic type tends the invention with the problem of an elastic The spring is bolted to the vehicle frame de to give sufficient strength and the bela to guarantee length-dependent change in length.

Eine Lösung dieses Problems zeigt eine Federausführung nach den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruch 1 auf.A spring version shows a solution to this problem the characterizing features of claim 1.

Eine zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung dieser grundsätzlichen Lösung ist Gegenstand des Anspruchs 2. An appropriate design of this basic solution is the subject of claim 2.  

Diese Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, nicht nur den abge­ knickten Steg zu verformen, sondern diesen an seinem Ende am Fahrzeugrahmen zu befestigen und gleichzeitig elastisch schwenkbar und längsverschiebbar zu lagern und im Übergangsbe­ reich zu dem etwa horizontal verlaufenden Hauptteil der Feder gelenkartig biegsam auszugestalten. Durch die angenähert ge­ radlinig verbleibende Form des Steges kann dieser sich bei ho­ her Federbelastung vertikal ausrichten und in dieser Lage hin­ sichtlich seiner notwendigen Festigkeit gut dimensioniert wer­ den.This invention is based on the idea, not only the abge buckled to deform the web, but at the end of it Fasten vehicle frame and at the same time elastic pivotable and longitudinally displaceable and in the transitional area rich to the approximately horizontal main part of the spring designed to be flexible and articulated. Due to the approximate ge the shape of the web that remains in a straight line can be at ho Align the spring load vertically and in this position clearly dimensioned its necessary strength the.

Der Krümmungsradius der Stegabknickung sollte vorteilhafter­ weise etwa der halben Länge des geradlinig verlaufenden Steg­ abschnittes entsprechen.The radius of curvature of the web buckling should be more advantageous about half the length of the straight web section.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dar­ gestellt.Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing posed.

Es zeigen:Show it:

Fig. 1 die Ansicht einer Blattfeder, Fig. 1 is a view of a leaf spring,

Fig. 2 das abgeknickte Federende als Ausschnitt bei unter­ schiedlichen Belastungen. Fig. 2 shows the kinked spring end as a cutout under different loads.

Ein zu einem Blatt-Federpaket gehörendes Hauptblatt 1 ist an seinem in Fahrtrichtung hinten liegenden Ende über einen abge­ knickten Bereich an dem Rahmen eines Fahrzeuges angelenkt.A leaf spring assembly belonging to the main leaf 1 is articulated at its rear end in the direction of travel via a bent area on the frame of a vehicle.

Dieser abgeknickte Bereich kann gemäß der in durchgezogenen Linien in Fig. 1 wiedergegebenen Ausführung ein Winkel-Steg 2 sein, dessen Ende auf den horizontalen Hauptabschnitt des Fe­ derpaketes zu zurückgebogen ist. Das abgeknickte Ende besitzt damit insgesamt die Form eines U. Der in dem U-Bogen liegende Teil des Steges 2 ist annähernd geradlinig ausgebildet. Dieser geradlinige Verlauf verändert sich unabhängig von der Bela­ stung des Hauptblattes 1 nur unwesentlich und soll sich unter maximaler Last annähernd senkrecht stellen aus beanspruchungs­ technischen Gründen.This kinked area can be an angular web 2 , the end of which is bent back onto the horizontal main section of the spring package in accordance with the embodiment shown in solid lines in FIG. 1. The bent end thus has the overall shape of a U. The part of the web 2 lying in the U-bend is approximately rectilinear. This rectilinear course changes irrespective of the loading of the main sheet 1 only insignificantly and should be approximately vertical under maximum load for technical reasons.

Gut zu erkennen ist dieser im wesentlichen geradlinig verblei­ bende Verlauf des Steges 2 in der Fig. 2, in der der abge­ knickte Federbereich in belastetem und unbelastetem Zustand dargestellt ist. Dabei ist der belastete Feder-Zustand in durchgehenden und der unbelastete Zustand in gestrichelten Li­ nien wiedergegeben. Klar erkennbar ist bei dieser Darstellung darüber hinaus die schwenk- und längsverschiebbare Lagerung an dem Ende des Steges 2. Das dortige lediglich schematisch in Fig. 1 angedeutete Lager 3 besitzt eine diese Schwenk- und in Längsrichtung verschiebbare Lagerung ermöglichende Elastizi­ tät, während dieses Lager in Querrichtung dagegen selbstver­ ständlich möglichst steif ist.It is easy to see this essentially rectilinearly remaining course of the web 2 in FIG. 2, in which the bent spring area is shown in the loaded and unloaded state. The loaded spring condition is shown in continuous and the unloaded condition in dashed lines. In this illustration, the pivotable and longitudinally displaceable mounting at the end of the web 2 is also clearly recognizable. The there only schematically indicated in Fig. 1 bearing 3 has a this pivoting and longitudinally displaceable storage enabling Elastizi act, while this bearing in the transverse direction, however, is of course as rigid as possible.

Die für den Längenausgleich des Hauptblattes 1 erforderliche Elastizität der Feder erfolgt durch die besondere Form des En­ des des Hauptfederblattes zusammen mit dem elastischen Lager 3 in Fig. 2.The elasticity of the spring required for the length compensation of the main leaf 1 takes place through the special shape of the main spring leaf together with the elastic bearing 3 in FIG. 2.

Von Bedeutung ist dabei der in Fig. 2 über den Krümmungsradius R definierte gelenkartig wirkende Knickbereich. Als Länge die­ ses Krümmungsradius R empfiehlt sich die halbe Länge des ge­ radlinig ausgerichteten Steg 2-Bereiches.Of importance is the articulated-like kink region defined in FIG. 2 via the radius of curvature R. The length of this radius of curvature R is recommended to be half the length of the straight web 2 area.

Ein nicht U-förmiger, sondern nur einfach abgeknickter hinte­ rer Endbereich des Blattfeder-Hauptblattes 1 ist in Fig. 1 als mögliche Alternative in strichpunktierten Linien angedeutet. A not U-shaped, but only simply bent rear end region of the leaf spring main leaf 1 is indicated in Fig. 1 as a possible alternative in dash-dotted lines.

Das dortige Lager 4 ist wiederum für eine schwenkbare und in Längsrichtung elastische Lagerung mit Steifigkeit in Querrich­ tung ausgestaltet.The bearing 4 there is in turn designed for a pivotable and in the longitudinal direction elastic storage with rigidity in the transverse direction.

Das in Fahrtrichtung des Fahrzeuges vorne liegende Ende des Blattfeder-Hauptblattes 1 ist in üblicher Weise in einem Fe­ derauge 5 an dem Fahrzeugrahmen gelagert.The front end of the leaf spring main leaf 1 in the direction of travel of the vehicle is mounted in the usual way in a Fe derauge 5 on the vehicle frame.
