Description

Anwendungsgebiet der ErfindungField of application of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft einen spanlos aus einem Stahlblech hergestellten hebelartigen Nockenfolger für einen Ventiltrieb einer Brennkraftmaschine zur Beaufschlagung wenigstens eines Gaswechselventils.The invention relates to a non-cutting produced from a steel sheet lever-like Cam follower for a valve train of an internal combustion engine for acting at least one gas exchange valve.

Hintergrund der ErfindungBackground of the invention

In einem Kraftfahrzeugverbrennungsmotor ist ein Ventilantriebsmechanismus zum Antrieb von Einlassventilen und Auslassventilen synchron zur Motorumdrehung vorhanden. Der Ventilantriebsmechanismus umfasst im allgemeinen eine Nockenwelle sowie einen Nockenstößel, der die Drehbewegung der Nockenwelle in eine Hin- und Herbewegung zum axialen Antrieb der Einlass- und Auslassventile umwandelt. Der Nockenstößel umfasst einen Kipphebel, der von Nocken angetrieben wird, die von der Nockenwelle getragen werden. Mit dem Fortschritt der Kraftfahrzeugtechnologie auf dem Gebiet von Motoren mit höchster Leistung steigt der Bedarf an kompakten und leichten Motoren mit langer Lebensdauer und wartungsfreier Konstruktion.In an automotive internal combustion engine is a valve drive mechanism to drive intake valves and exhaust valves in synchronism with the engine revolution available. The valve drive mechanism generally includes a camshaft and a cam follower, the rotational movement of the camshaft in a reciprocating motion to the inlet and inlet axial drive Exhaust valves converted. The cam follower comprises a rocker arm of the Cam is driven, which are supported by the camshaft. With the Advances in automotive technology in the field of engines with Highest performance increases the need for compact and light engines long life and maintenance-free design.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es allgemein bekannt, dass derartige aus Stahlblech spanlos hergestellte hebelartige Nockenfolger in der Regel aus einem Einsatzmaterial bestehen, beispielsweise aus 16 Mn Cr 5. Das Einsatzhärten besteht aus Aufkohlen oder Carbonitrieren mit nachfolgendem Härten entweder unmittelbar anschließend daran oder nach einem Zwischenkühlen und Wiedererwärmen auf eine zweckentsprechende Härtetemperatur. Je nach den geforderten Gebrauchseigenschaften bzw. den Erfordernissen der nachfolgenden Bearbeitung wird nach dem Härten noch angelassen oder tiefgekühlt und angelassen. Das Einsatzhärten dient dazu, der Randschicht von Werkstücken aus Stahl eine wesentlich höhere Härte und dem Werkstück bessere mechanische Eigenschaften zu verleihen. Hierzu wird die Randschicht vor dem Härten mit Kohlenstoff (Aufkohlen) oder Kohlenstoff und Stickstoff (Carbonitrieren) angereichert. Die zusätzliche Stickstoffanreicherung bewirkt gegenüber dem Aufkohlen durch Veränderung des Umwandlungsverhaltens in der Randschicht eine höhere Härtbarkeit und nach dem Härten eine höhere Anlassbeständigkeit.In this context, it is well known that such steel sheet non-cutting produced lever-type cam follower usually from a Feedstock consist, for example, 16 Mn Cr 5. The case hardening consists of carburizing or carbonitriding with subsequent hardening either immediately afterwards or after an intermediate cooling and reheating to a suitable hardening temperature. Depending on the required Use properties or the requirements of the following Processing is tempered after hardening or deep-frozen and tempered. Case hardening serves the edge layer of workpieces made of steel a much higher hardness and the workpiece better mechanical To give properties. For this purpose, the surface layer before curing with carbon (carburizing) or carbon and nitrogen (carbonitriding) enriched. The additional nitrogen enrichment causes compared to the Carburizing by changing the conversion behavior in the surface layer a higher hardenability and a higher tempering resistance after hardening.

Derartig hergestellten hebelartigen Nockenfolgern haftet der Nachteil an, dass die entsprechende Wärmebehandlung des Einsatzwerkstoffes sehr zeitaufwendig und teuer ist.The lever-type cam followers produced in this way has the disadvantage that the corresponding heat treatment of the insert material very time consuming and expensive.

Zusammenfassung der ErfindungSummary of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Herstellkosten für einen hebelartigen Nockenfolger aus Blech entscheident zu reduzieren.The invention is therefore based on the object, the production costs for a Lever-like cam follower made of sheet metal decisively to reduce.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe nach dem kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1 in Verbindung mit dessen Oberbegriff dadurch gelöst, dass ein kaltumformbarer durchhärtbarer Vergütungsstahl verwendet ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing part of Claim 1 in conjunction with the preamble solved by a cold-workable hardenable tempering steel is used.

Durch das Umwandlungshärten über den gesamten Querschnitt des hebelartigen Nockenfolgers wird eine nahezu homogene gehärtete Zone erreicht, die neben einer hohen Festigkeit zugleich eine gute Zähigkeit aufweist. Durch die Umwandlungshärtung wird die Festigkeit gesteigert, zugleich aber auch das Gefüge neu gebildet und gefeint. Zwar wird beim Anlassen die zuvor erreichte Festigkeitzunahme teilweise wieder abgebaut, jedoch die Zähigkeit über den ursprünglichen Wert hinaus erhöht. Derart erfindungsgemäß hergestellte hebelartige Nockenfolger können bei gleichem Querschnitt höher belastet werden oder bei gleichen Belastungen einen geringeren Querschnitt aufweisen. Ein anderer Vorteil dieser erfindungsgemäßen hebelartigen Nockenfolger liegt darin, dass sich aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Wärmebehandlung ein weiteres Einsparpotential realisieren lässt. Zum einen kann die Härtedurchlaufzeit und zum anderen die Härtetemperatur herabgesetzt werden. Auch ist die höhere Maß- und Formstabilität der erfindungsgemäßen hebelartigen Nockenfolger von Vorteil.By the conversion hardening over the entire cross-section of the lever-like Cam follower is achieved a nearly homogeneous hardened zone, the In addition to a high strength at the same time has a good toughness. By the Conversion hardening increases the strength, but at the same time that too Structure newly formed and tufted. Although, when starting the previously achieved Strength increase partially degraded again, but the toughness over the initial value increased. Such lever-like produced according to the invention Cam followers can be loaded higher with the same cross section or have a smaller cross-section at the same loads. One Another advantage of this lever-type cam follower according to the invention is that that due to the different heat treatment another Savings potential can be realized. On the one hand, the hardening cycle time and on the other hand, the hardening temperature can be reduced. Also, the higher one Dimensional and dimensional stability of the lever-like cam follower according to the invention advantageous.

Nach den Ansprüchen 2 und 3 hat es sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Kernhärte einen Wert von ≥ 600 HV und eine Randhärte ≥ 680 HV aufweist, wobei die Kernhärte im Bereich zwischen 600 und 650 HV und Randhärte im Bereich zwischen 680 und 700 HV liegt.According to claims 2 and 3, it has proved to be particularly advantageous if the core hardness has a value of ≥ 600 HV and an edge hardness ≥ 680 HV having the core hardness in the range between 600 and 650 HV and marginal hardness in the range between 680 and 700 HV.

Schließlich ist nach Anspruch 4 vorgesehen, dass der hebelartige Nockenfolger aus einem Vergütungsstahl der Marke C45M mit
0,39 - 0,46% C, bis 0,15 % Si, 0,55 - 0,70 % Mn, bis 0,020 % P, bis 0,07 % S, 0,25 - 0,40 % Cr, 0,020 - 0,060 % Al, 0,0040 - 0,0100 % N2, 0,10 - 0,20 % Ni, 0,05 - 0,10 % Mo, bis 0,005 % Sn, bis 0,002 % Sb, Summe Cu, Ni, Mn, Cr 1,00 bis 1,45 %
verwendet ist.

0.39-0.46% C, 0.15% Si, 0.55-0.70% Mn, 0.020% P, 0.07% S, 0.25-0.40% Cr, 0.020 - 0.060% Al, 0.0040 - 0.0100% N 2 , 0.10 - 0.20% Ni, 0.05 - 0.10% Mo, to 0.005% Sn, to 0.002% Sb, total Cu, Ni , Mn, Cr 1.00 to 1.45%
is used.

Dieser kaltumformbare durchhärtbare Stahl ist ein isotroper Feinkornstahl mit hoher Reinheit. Seine Tiefziehfähigkeit und Umformbarkeit ist vergleichbar mit bisher verwendeten Kaltband-Werkstoffen, in seiner Härtbarkeit liegt er jedoch deutlich über konventionellen Stählen. Aufgrund seiner hohen Kernhärte ist er höher statisch und dynamisch belastbar als Teile aus herkömmlichen Stahl. Dies vermindert plastische Verformungen an Stellen hoher statischer Belastung. This cold formable hardenable steel is an isotropic fine grain steel with high purity. Its thermoformability and formability is comparable to previously used cold-rolled materials, in its hardenability, however, he is significantly above conventional steels. He is due to its high core hardness higher statically and dynamically loadable than parts made of conventional steel. This reduces plastic deformation in places of high static load.

Die Erfindung wird an nachstehendem Ausführungsbeispiel näher beschrieben.The invention will be described in more detail in the following embodiment.

Ausführliche Beschreibung der ZeichnungenDetailed description of the drawings

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen beispielhaft einen Nockenfolger 1 in Form eines Schlepphebels, der aus einem Blechwerkstoff gefertigt ist und eine fingerartige Geometrie aufweist. Zwischen seinen parallelen Seitenwänden 2 verläuft ein Querbalken 3, der die beiden Seitenwände 2 miteinander verbindet, so dass ein im Querschnitt U-förmiges Profil gebildet ist, das den Zwischenraum 4 einschließt. An einer dem Zwischenraum 4 abgewandten Unterseite 5 liegt im Bereich des Endes 6 ein nicht dargestelltes Schaftende eines Gaswechselventils an. Dieses ist zwischen zwei Stegen 7 gelagert, die ebenfalls an der Unterseite 5 verlaufen. Die Seitenwände 2 besitzen zwei zueinander fluchtende Aussparungen 8, in die die Achse 9 gesteckt ist. Auf dieser Achse 9 ist über das Wälzlager 10 die Rolle 11 gelagert. Mit der Rolle 11 steht ein nicht dargestellter Nocken einer Nockenwelle in Wirkverbindung. Im Bereich eines weiteren Endes 12 ist der Nockenfolger 1 auf einem Kopf eines nicht dargestellten Abstützelements gelagert, wobei beide Teile durch das Halteelement 13 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Stege 7 erstrecken sich einteilig als Verlängerung der Seitenwände 2 und sind um 180° im Bereich des Endes 6 an die Unterseite 5 gebogen. Gleichzeitig ist der Nockenfolger 1 im Bereich des Endes 6 in seiner Breite verkleinert.Figures 1 and 2 show an example of a cam follower 1 in the form of a Toggle lever, which is made of a sheet material and a finger-like Has geometry. Between its parallel side walls 2 a runs Crossbar 3, which connects the two side walls 2 with each other, so that a U-shaped profile is formed, which encloses the gap 4. At a side facing away from the gap 4 bottom 5 is in the range of the end 6 an unillustrated shank end of a gas exchange valve at. This is mounted between two webs 7, which also at the bottom 5 lost. The side walls 2 have two mutually aligned recesses 8, in which the axis 9 is inserted. On this axis 9 is about the rolling bearing 10, the roller 11 stored. With the roller 11 is an unrepresented Cam of a camshaft in operative connection. In the area of another end 12 is the cam follower 1 on a head of a supporting element, not shown stored, wherein both parts by the holding member 13 with each other are connected. The webs 7 extend integrally as an extension the side walls 2 and 180 ° in the region of the end 6 to the underside 5 bent. At the same time, the cam follower 1 is in the region of the end 6 in his Width reduced.

Ein derartiger Nockenfolger 1 wird spanlos aus einem 3,5 mm starkem Band des Vergütungsstahls C45M mit nachstehender chemischer Zusammensetzung hergestellt:
0,42 - 0,46 % C, bis 0,15 % Si, 0,60 - 0,70 % Mn, bis 0,020 % P, bis 0,07 % S, 0,30 - 0,40 % Cr, 0,020 - 0,060 % Al, 0,0040 - 0,0100 % N2, 0,10 - 0,20 % Ni, 0,05 - 0,10 % Mo, bis 0,005 % Sn, bis 0,002 % Sb, bis 0,15 % Cu, Summe Cu, Ni, Mn, Cr 1,05 bis 1,45 %.
Such a cam follower 1 is produced without cutting from a 3.5 mm thick strip of the tempered steel C45M with the following chemical composition:
0.42 - 0.46% C, to 0.15% Si, 0.60 - 0.70% Mn, to 0.020% P, to 0.07% S, 0.30 - 0.40% Cr, 0.020 0.060% Al, 0.0040-0.0100% N 2 , 0.10-0.20% Ni, 0.05-0.10% Mo, to 0.005% Sn, to 0.002% Sb, to 0.15 % Cu, sum of Cu, Ni, Mn, Cr 1.05 to 1.45%.

Wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich, weist ein erfindungsgemäßer Stahl C45M nach seiner Wärmebehandlung im Gegensatz zu einem herkömmlichen Stahl der Marke DC04M einen nur flach in Richtung Bandmitte abfallenden Härteverlauf auf. Während die Randhärte mit etwa 750 HV anzusetzen ist, nimmt die Kernhärte einen Wert von etwa 650 HV an. Durch diese optimierte Härtbarkeit, die auf die Bauteilgeometrie und die Beanspruchung abzustimmen ist, weist dieser Stahl eine hohe Kernhärte, Zähigkeit und Elastizität auf. Diese hohe Kernhärte des kaltumformbaren durchhärtbaren Stahls sorgt letztendlich dafür, dass die vorstehend beschriebene Einsparpotentiale wie Verringerung des Wandquerschnitts, Erhöhung der Festigkeit sowie eine Reduzierung des Gesamtgewichtes möglich sind.As can be seen from FIG. 3, a steel C45M according to the invention follows its heat treatment unlike a conventional steel of the Brand DC04M only a flat towards the middle of the belt sloping hardness curve on. While the edge hardness is to be set with about 750 HV, the core hardness decreases a value of about 650 HV. Due to this optimized hardenability, the to vote on the component geometry and the load, this points Steel has a high core hardness, toughness and elasticity. This high core hardness The cold - workable, hardenable steel ultimately ensures that the the savings described above, such as reducing the wall cross-section, Increasing the strength and reducing the total weight possible are.

Ein Nockenfolger 1 aus dem Einsatzstahl C16M wird nach Figur 4 einem klassischen Einsatzhärten unterworfen, wobei der Hebel 1 120 min bei einer Temperatur von 880°C gehalten wird. Danach wird das Teil auf Raumtemperatur abgeschreckt und anschließend 120 min angelassen. Darunter ist eine Wärmebehandlung zu verstehen, die dem gehärteten und relativ spröden Werkstoffzustand eine höhere Zähigkeit verleihen soll. Sie besteht in einem Erwärmen auf Temperaturen im Bereich von 160 - 650° mit ausreichender Haltedauer und Abkühlen wiederum auf Raumtemperatur. Durch dauer und Abkühlen wiederum auf Raumtemperatur. Durch das Anlassen wird die Härte verringert, die Festigkeit nimmt ab und die Verformbarkeit und die Zähigkeit nehmen zu. Durch das Einsatzhärten entsteht also ein Quasi-Werkstoffverbund, wobei der Rand mit der maximal erreichbaren Härte versehen ist und der Kern wesentlich weicher ist.A cam follower 1 made of case hardening steel C16M is a classic according to FIG Case hardened, with the lever 1 120 min at a Temperature of 880 ° C is maintained. After that, the part will open Quenched room temperature and then left for 120 min. This is to be understood as meaning a heat treatment that is cured and hardened relatively brittle material state should give a higher toughness. she consists in heating to temperatures in the range of 160 - 650 ° sufficient holding time and cooling again to room temperature. By duration and cooling again to room temperature. By starting it will the hardness decreases, the strength decreases and the ductility and the Toughness is increasing. Case hardening therefore creates a quasi-material composite, wherein the edge provided with the maximum achievable hardness is and the core is much softer.

Wird der gleiche Nockenfolger 1 aus dem Vergütungsstahl C45M hergestellt, so wird dieser zunächst leicht aufkohlend gehärtet, wobei er 30 min auf 840°C zu halten ist. Danach folgt ebenfalls ein Abschrecken auf Raumtemperatur und ein Anlassen, das sich ebenfalls auf 120 min erstreckt. Es ist klar ersichtlich, dass im ersten Falle der eigentliche Härtevorgang beim Einsatzhärten 120 min und im zweiten Falle lediglich 30 min beträgt, so dass beim eigentlichen Härtevorgang eine Zeitersparnis von 75 % realisiert werden kann. Es ist weiter von Vorteil, dass auch ein Härten bei einer um 40°C niedrigeren Temperatur möglich ist, was eine wesentliche Energieeinsparung bedeutet. Schließlich ist auch von Vorteil, dass bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Nockenfolger 1 aus dem Stahl der Marke C45M im Vergleich zu einem einsatzgehärteten Nockenfolger aus dem Stahl der Marke C16M dieser eine wesentlich geringere Verzugs- bzw. Formänderung aufweist und daher nicht spanend nachbearbeitet werden muß. If the same cam follower 1 is made of tempered steel C45M, so it is first hardened slightly carburizing, where it is 30 min at 840 ° C. to hold. This is followed by quenching to room temperature and a tempering, which also extends to 120 minutes. It is clear that in the first case, the actual hardening process during case hardening 120 min and in the second case only 30 minutes, so that during the actual hardening process a time saving of 75% can be realized. It is further from Advantage that even hardening at a lower by 40 ° C temperature possible is what means a significant energy saving. Finally, too advantageous that in a cam follower 1 according to the invention from the steel brand C45M compared to a case hardened cam follower the steel of the brand C16M this much less default or Has change in shape and therefore does not have to be post-machined.
