US-A-2 511 255 offenbart eine Schmierung eines Kolbenventils für Blechblasinstrumente anhand eines Schmiermittelreservoirs innerhalb des Kolbenventils und anhand feiner, senkrecht zur Achse gerichteter Kanäle, durch welche der im Reservoir gespeicherte Schmierstoff an die gleitende Fläche des Ventils gelangt.US-A-2 511 255 discloses lubrication of a piston valve for brass instruments from a lubricant reservoir within the piston valve and from fine channels perpendicular to the axis, through which the lubricant stored in the reservoir reaches the sliding surface of the valve.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Drehventil bzw. ein Blasinstrument mit einem solchen Drehventil vorzusehen, bei denen die Wartung bzw. Schmierung des Drehventils verbessert und vereinfacht ist.It is an object of the invention, a rotary valve or a wind instrument with such Provide rotary valve in which the maintenance or lubrication of the rotary valve improved and simplified.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bzw. 14 gelöst. This object is achieved with the features of
Bei dem Drehventil für Blasinstrumente ist in einem Ventilgehäuse ein Verstellelement, beispielsweise ein Wechsel, drehbar mittels eines Gleitlagers gelagert. Beispielsweise ist bei einem Drehventil für ein Blechblasinstrument das Verstellelement über zwei Gleitlager im Ventilgehäuse gelagert, wobei das eine Gleitlager oberhalb und das andere unterhalb des Verstellelements angeordnet ist. Erfindungsgemäß weist das zumindest eine Gleitlager des Drehventils zumindest einen Schmierstoffkanal auf, der sich zumindest teilweise über die Höhe des Gleitlagerflächenbereichs erstreckt. Dabei kann der zumindest eine Schmierstoffkanal an der inneren und/oder auch an der äußeren Lagerfläche des Gleitlagers ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise an der Gleitfläche des Ventilgehäuses und/oder an der Gleitfläche des Verstellelements. Dadurch, dass sich der Schmierstoffkanal zumindest teilweise über die Höhe der Gleitfläche erstreckt, wird der Schmierstoff durch den Schmierstoffkanal über einen Höhenbereich der Gleitfläche zugeführt, so dass sich bei Drehen bzw. Schwenken des Verstellelements eine umfangsmäßige, über die (Teil-)Höhe erstreckende Schmierung ergibt. Durch den Verlauf des Kanals über zumindest einen Teilbereich der Höhe wird die Gleitfläche gleichmäßig mit Schmierstoff beaufschlagt. Besonders vorteilhaft verläuft dabei der Schmierstoffkanal über die gesamte Höhe der Gleitfläche, so dass sich beim Schwenken bzw. Drehen des Verstellelementes nach wenigen Ventilbewegungen eine gleichförmige Verteilung des Schmierstoffs ergibt. Die Schmierstoffverteilung stellt sich unabhängig vom Spiel des Gleitlagers reproduzierbar ein.In the rotary valve for wind instruments is in a valve housing an adjustment, For example, a change, rotatably supported by a sliding bearing. For example is in a rotary valve for a brass instrument, the adjustment over two Slide bearing mounted in the valve housing, wherein the one slide bearing above and another is arranged below the adjusting element. According to the invention that at least one sliding bearing of the rotary valve at least one lubricant channel, the extends at least partially over the height of the sliding bearing surface area. there the at least one lubricant channel on the inner and / or on the be formed outer bearing surface of the sliding bearing. For example, at the Sliding surface of the valve housing and / or on the sliding surface of the adjusting element. The fact that the lubricant channel at least partially over the height of the Sliding surface extends, the lubricant through the lubricant channel via a Height range of the sliding surface supplied, so that when turning or pivoting of the Adjustment a circumferential, on the (part) height extending lubrication results. Due to the course of the channel over at least a portion of the height is the sliding surface is evenly supplied with lubricant. Especially advantageous In this case, the lubricant channel runs over the entire height of the sliding surface, so that when turning or turning the adjusting after a few Valve movements results in a uniform distribution of the lubricant. The Lubricant distribution is reproducible regardless of the play of the plain bearing one.
Bei einem herkömmlichen Drehventil eines Blechblasinstruments kann lediglich am äußeren Rand der Gleitfläche Schmierstoff aufgetragen werden. Die Verteilung des Schmierstoffs über die gesamte Gleitfläche der Gleitlager hängt dabei entscheidend ab vom Spiel des Gleitlagers und dessen Verunreinigung, die durch die Nutzung des Blechblasinstrumentes ins Lager eingetragen wird. Des weiteren wurde beim herkömmlichen Drehventil der aufgetragene Schmierstoff nur sehr allmählich zwischen die Gleitflächen eingetragen, so dass überschüssiger Schmierstoff unerwünschter Weise ablaufen und andere Bereiche des Blechblasinstrumentes bzw. des Ventils verunreinigen konnte.In a conventional rotary valve of a brass instrument can only am outer edge of the sliding surface lubricant can be applied. The distribution of Lubricant over the entire sliding surface of the plain bearings depends decisively from the play of the sliding bearing and its contamination by the use of the Brass instrument is entered into the warehouse. Furthermore, at the conventional rotary valve, the lubricant applied only very gradually between entered the sliding surfaces, so that excess lubricant undesirable Run off and other areas of the brass instrument or the valve could contaminate.
Besonders dann, wenn aufgrund des gewählten Querschnitts des Schmierstoffkanals für den Schmierstoff eine Kapillarwirkung resultiert, wird der aufgetragene Schmierstoff sehr schnell in erforderlicher Menge in den Kanal aufgesogen, so dass sich Schmierstoff-Verunreinigungen der an das Gleitlager angrenzenden Bereiche effizient vermeiden lassen.Especially if, due to the selected cross-section of the lubricant channel For the lubricant capillary action results, the applied lubricant absorbed very quickly in required amount in the channel, so that Lubricant contamination of adjacent areas of the sliding bearing efficiently avoid it.
Durch einen helix- oder schraubenlinienartigen Verlauf des Schmierstoffkanals entlang der Gleitfläche wird der Schmierstoff nicht nur in axiale Richtung, sondern auch in Umfangsrichtung auf der Gleitfläche verteilt, so dass sich schon nach wenigen Dreh- bzw. Schwenkbewegungen des Verstellelements eine vollständige, den gesamten Umfang der Gleitfläche abdeckende Verteilung des Schmierstoffs erreichen lässt.Through a helical or helical course along the lubricant channel The sliding surface of the lubricant is not only in the axial direction, but also in Distributed circumferentially on the sliding surface, so that after only a few rotations or pivoting movements of the adjusting a full, the entire Extending the circumference of the sliding surface covering distribution of the lubricant.
Ist zumindest ein Gleitlager als Stift oder Welle ausgebildet, und weist der Stift oder die Welle eine axiale verlaufende Bohrung zum Zuführen des Schmierstoffes auf, so kann der Schmierstoff auch an einer von der Gleitfläche beabstandeten Stelle zugeführt werden. Vorteilhaft ist dabei auch der Querschnitt der Bohrung größer als derjenige des Schmierstoffkanals, so dass eine für die Gleitflächen ausreichende Menge von Schmierstoff zunächst in der Bohrung deponiert wird und von dort durch den Kapillareffekt allmählich in den Schmierstoffkanal abgesogen werden kann. In diesem Fall ist der Zeitaufwand der Wartung für den Nutzer sehr kurz und ein seitliches Ablaufen des Schmierstoffes lässt sich auf einfache Weise vermeiden. Vorteilhaft entspricht das Volumen der Bohrung der für die Schmierung notwendigen Schmierstoffmenge, so dass der Nutzer zur richtigen Dosierung lediglich die Bohrung mit Schmierstoff aufzufüllen braucht.Is at least one sliding bearing designed as a pin or shaft, and has the pin or the Shaft an axial bore for supplying the lubricant, so can the lubricant is also supplied at a location spaced from the sliding surface become. Advantageously, the cross section of the bore is larger than the one of the lubricant channel, so that sufficient for the sliding surfaces amount of Lubricant is first deposited in the bore and from there through the Capillary effect can be gradually sucked into the lubricant channel. In this Case, the time required for the maintenance of the user is very short and a lateral Drainage of the lubricant can be easily avoided. Advantageous the volume of the bore corresponds to that required for lubrication Lubricant quantity, so that the user for the correct dosage only the bore needs to replenish with lubricant.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ zur axial verlaufenden Bohrung kann an dem einen Gleitlager oder am anderen Gleitlager eine Nut angrenzend an das Gleitlager vorgesehen sein, mit dem zumindest ein Schmierstoffkanal verbunden ist. Vorteilhaft wird dabei ebenfalls eine ausreichende Schmierstoffmenge in der Nut deponiert, die sich dann aufgrund des Kapillareffekts entlang des Schmierstoffkanals auf der Lagerfläche verteilt.Additionally or alternatively to the axially extending bore may be on the one sliding bearing or on the other plain bearing a groove adjacent to the sliding bearing, is connected to the at least one lubricant channel. It will be advantageous also deposited a sufficient amount of lubricant in the groove, which then due to the capillary effect along the lubricant channel on the bearing surface distributed.
Ganz besonders vorteilhaft ist der zumindest eine Schmierstoffkanal in einer Lagerfläche eines Lagerelements des Verstellelements ausgebildet. Daher müssen entsprechend gegenwirkende Lagerflächen im Ventilgehäuse oder an Elementen, die mit dem Ventilgehäuse verbunden sind, nicht vorgesehen werden. Die Herstellung eines Schmierstoffkanals vorzugsweise in der Außenlagerfläche des Lagerelements des Verstellelements ist dabei wesentlich vereinfacht. Especially advantageous is the at least one lubricant channel in one Bearing surface of a bearing element of the adjusting element formed. Therefore, must correspondingly opposing bearing surfaces in the valve housing or on elements that are not provided with the valve housing. The production a lubricant channel, preferably in the outer bearing surface of the bearing element the adjusting element is considerably simplified.
Vorteilhaft ist zumindest einem Schmierstoffkanal zumindest ein Reservoir mit einem vorgegebenen Volumen zur Aufnahme des Schmierstoffes beigeordnet. In Ausführung kann der zumindest eine Schmierstoffkanal mit dem Reservoir verbunden sein, oder ein zusätzlicher Zufuhrkanal verbindet das zumindest eine Reservoir mit einem oder mehreren der Schmierstoffkanäle. Das Reservoir kann unabhängig von der Lage des Schmierstoffkanals am Ventilkörper oder am Ventilgehäuse angeordnet sein.At least one reservoir with a lubricant channel is advantageous at least assigned volume for receiving the lubricant. In execution the at least one lubricant channel can be connected to the reservoir, or an additional supply channel connects the at least one reservoir to one or several of the lubricant channels. The reservoir can be independent of the location of the Lubricant channel be arranged on the valve body or the valve housing.
