Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to roller burnishing machines, in particular those used for the work hardening of the crankshafts of internal combustion engines.
  • It relates more particularly to a rolling roller casing roller housing having at least two supports vis-à-vis adapted to maintain in position retaining means housing a roller.
  • It also relates to a roller burnishing machine comprising an action tool housing.
  • crankshaft is a mechanical part intended to be constantly in motion when the engine is running, which is why it is dimensioned so as to be robust but also the lightest and least bulky possible.
  • crankshaft is one of the parts of the most mechanically stressed engine.
  • crankshaft is subjected to torsion and bending forces as well as significant vibrations.
  • it must withstand many cycles of engine operation.
  • crankshafts are made in one piece by forging or molding then they undergo machining operations, including work hardening by roller burnishing, intended to modify the structure of the material that composes them to make them more resistant.
  • the burnishing operation consists in imposing a permanent deformation on the surface of the material to improve its resistance to fatigue.
  • crank pins and trunnions consists in reinforcing the connection grooves between the arms and the crankshaft bearing surfaces (called crank pins and trunnions).
  • Known rolling machines have two rollers spaced apart from each other, and generally also inclined relative to each other, which each roll in a groove of the crankshaft exerting on the latter a large mechanical force which leads the hardening of this area.
  • the document FR 2 864 460 presents for example one of these machines which comprises an action tool provided with a housing having an inner housing in which are fixed supports a roller cage adapted to maintain two rollers in a selected orientation and a determined spacing , while leaving them free to rotate to roll on the throats.
  • the burnishing tool then adapts to a particular geometry of crankshaft bearings.
  • the present invention provides a roller cage that allows the rollers to rotate to fit the orientation of the grooves of the crankshaft to be machined.
  • roller cage as defined in the introduction, wherein the two supports are each pierced with at least one bore of common axis, and the holding means comprise two rods engaged freely. in said bores and between which is interposed the roller so that it is adapted to pivot about an axis transverse to said common axis.
  • the roller being held by rods which are themselves free to rotate about the axis in which they extend, it can, in contact with a groove of the crankshaft, naturally s' tilt to adapt its inclination to the geometry of the groove so as to smooth it uniformly over its entire section.
  • compression springs each interposed between one end of one of the rods and the bottom of the bore accommodating said rod.
  • each rod has two ends each shaped to hold the roller.
  • the rods of each support can be returned to their housing to double their life using successively their two ends to maintain the roller.
  • each rod comprises a cylindrical body engaged in the bore of the corresponding support, and a head having a diameter greater than the diameter of said cylindrical body, said head bearing on one side against the roller .
  • said head bears on the other side against the mouth of the bore of the corresponding support.
  • the invention also relates to a rolling machine as defined in the introduction, wherein it is provided that said housing comprises such a roller cage, the supports of the roller cage have means for fixing the housing.
  • the supports of the roller cage each comprise a groove and the housing comprises complementary ribs adapted to engage in said grooves to center the supports relative to the housing.
  • a roller burnishing machine 1 which comprises an upper tool, commonly known as an action tool 100, and a lower tool, commonly called a reaction tool 10.
  • This roller milling machine 1 is adapted to work a crankshaft 50 arranged between these machines. two tools.
  • the crankshaft 50 comprises along its length a series of pairs of arms 51 extending orthogonally to its axis W. As shown in FIG. figure 2 the pairs of arms 51 make it possible to connect staves 52, 53 to one another.
  • These bearing surfaces comprise journals 53 which are cylindrical and which have an axis coincident with the axis W of the crankshaft 50 and crank pins 52 which are cylindrical and which have an axis parallel and offset with respect to the axis W of the crankshaft 50.
  • each bearing 52, 53 has a cylindrical surface around an axis parallel to the axis W of the crankshaft.
