Definitions
- the invention relates to a pulley arrangement for a starter gear for starting an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, with the aid of which, for example, a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine with ancillaries, such as an alternator, a fuel pump or an engine oil pump can be connected and on the example using an electric starter torque in the crankshaft can be initiated to start the engine.
- a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine with ancillaries such as an alternator, a fuel pump or an engine oil pump can be connected and on the example using an electric starter torque in the crankshaft can be initiated to start the engine.
- a pulley arrangement may comprise a pulley and a planetary gear arranged radially inside the pulley, which is connected to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine.
- the planetary gear can be operated outside via an actuator and causes a rotation of the crankshaft.
- a pulley arrangement for a starter transmission for starting an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle with a pulley, a friction clutch, which is arranged radially inside the pulley and by means of which the pulley with a crankshaft of the starter gear can be brought into operative connection, wherein the friction clutch is an open position, in which the pulley is separated from the crankshaft, and has a closed position in which the pulley is operatively connected to the crankshaft, and actuating means for axially actuating the friction clutch between the open position and the closed position, wherein the friction clutch is actuated by means of a force acting on the pulley starter generator using the actuating means.
- the pulley arrangement according to the invention is therefore based on the principle that a crankshaft of a starter gearbox can be actuated by means of a friction clutch, which is arranged inside the belt pulley, during an engine standstill of the motor vehicle by means of a starter generator acting as an actuator.
- the pulley assembly may comprise actuating means which are adapted to actuate the friction clutch axially and to switch between an open position and a closed position of the friction clutch.
- the pulley assembly according to the invention is therefore based on a simple operating principle and allows easy operation of the crankshaft.
- the pulley assembly Since the pulley assembly has few components, it can be manufactured in particular inexpensively. In particular, additional manufacturing costs may be avoided based on providing an actuator for a planetary gear pulley assembly.
- the pulley assembly can be made particularly compact, since the friction clutch is disposed within the pulley and an axial force transfer of the actuating means can be used on the friction clutch for switching the friction clutch between its open position and its closed position.
- the pulley arrangement according to the invention can drive the crankshaft by means of the starter generator, the pulley arrangement and the starter gear can be operated particularly reliably, since in particular a failure of an external actuator can be avoided.
- the pulley assembly of the present invention may also provide a limited starting torque, for example, up to about 200 Newton-meters for the crankshaft so that the pulley assembly may enable a cost-effective start-stop system with stationary air conditioning, and is particularly useful for small engines and can perform a warm start on larger engines ,
- the actuating means may be formed as a one-piece or multi-piece link element, which may constitute a transmission element for transmitting a force.
- the actuating means and the pulley may be rotatable relative to each other, wherein the actuating means may be adapted to act in a first relative rotational position with respect to the pulley, the friction clutch with a first axial force for pressing the friction clutch in the closed position and in a second relative rotational position with respect to the pulley to apply the friction clutch with a second axial force for holding the friction clutch in the open position.
- the first relative rotational position can thus be the closed position of the friction clutch and the second relative rotational position can be assigned to the open position of the friction clutch.
- the first and second axial force can be the same or different.
- the pulley may be rotatable and the actuating means may be by means of a freewheel, which may be supported on a rotationally fixed and positionally fixed support member, in particular a housing of the pulley assembly, positionally stable and rotatably durable.
- a freewheel When rotating the pulley in the direction of rotation of the internal combustion engine of the freewheel can be formed in particular in the overtravel and the actuating means can rotate together with the pulley.
- the actuating means When driving the pulley by means of the starter generator, the actuating means can be held against rotation and positional stability, while the pulley can rotate relative to the actuating means according to a reverse direction of rotation of the starter generator against the predetermined by the internal combustion engine rotational direction of the pulley.
- a circuit of the friction clutch between its open position and its closed position by means of the actuating means can be effected particularly easily.
- the pulley assembly may further comprise at least one locking element for non-rotatably locking the actuating means relative to the pulley or the friction clutch, wherein the actuating means a, in particular circular, closed track for the at least one locking element with at least a first locking point, the open position of the Friction clutch may be assigned, and may have at least a second detent point, which may be associated with the closed position of the friction clutch.
- the at least first latching point and the at least second latching point of the track of the actuating means can in particular represent stable latching positions, ie self-locking latching positions, for the at least one latching element.
- This measure can cause the friction clutch can be held particularly safe in its open position or in its closed position, since the actuating means by means of the locking element relative to the pulley or friction clutch can be held against rotation.
- a solution of the latching of the latching element from the at least first or the at least second latching point can be effected particularly easily by means of the starter generator, whose low torque for driving the pulley and thus for releasing the latching element can be sufficient. Since the actuating means have a closed track for the at least one latching element, switching of the friction clutch between its open position and its closed position can be carried out alternately. Therefore, an inadvertently incorrect shift of the friction clutch can always be corrected, in particular when the internal combustion engine is at a standstill.
- the actuating means may be ramp-shaped on their side facing the at least one latching element and have at least one first ramp section between the at least first latching point and the at least second latching point and at least one second ramp section between the at least second latching point and the at least first latching point, wherein a pitch of at least first ramp portion may have a positive value and wherein a slope of the at least second ramp portion may have a negative value.
- the pitch with respect to an end face of the actuating means which may be facing the at least one locking element and / or run approximately perpendicular to a rotational axis of the pulley assembly, are measured.
- a positive value of the gradient of the first ramp section may correspond to an at least first ramp section rising in the direction of the at least one latching element between the first latching point and the second latching point.
- a negative value of the slope of the second ramp section may correspond to a sloping in the direction of at least one locking element at least second ramp section between the second detent point and the first detent point.
- a length, measured in particular along the track, of the at least first ramp section may be smaller than a corresponding length of the at least second ramp section, and / or the gradient of the at least first ramp section may be greater in magnitude than the slope of the at least second ramp section.
- the shorter length of the at least first ramp section compared to the length of the at least second ramp section can enable a particularly fast switching of the friction clutch from its open position to its closed position. At the same time accidental switching of the friction clutch can be avoided from its closed position to its open position, since the locking element has to cover a relatively long path along the at least the second ramp section.
- the magnitude greater slope of the at least first ramp portion compared to the slope of the at least second ramp portion can prevent accidental actuation of the friction clutch in the closed position, since a large stroke of the at least one latching portion must be overcome.
- an undesired shifting of the friction clutch from its closed position to the open position is prevented in comparison with the gradient of the at least first ramp section.
- Both the longer path of the at least second ramp section and the lower slope of the at least second ramp section make it possible for the crankshaft to rotate slowly when the active connection between the crankshaft and the friction clutch is released, and thus a slight counter-rotation of the crankshaft in the just released state can be small. Thereby, a material stress of the pulley assembly can be reduced.
- the track may be formed substantially concentric with respect to a rotational axis of the pulley, so that the actuating means may have a structurally particularly simple construction.
- the track may have a multiplicity of first latching points and a plurality of second latching points, wherein a first latching point of the plurality of first latching points can be arranged along the track, adjacent to a second latching point of the plurality of second latching points.
- the pulley assembly may further comprise a plurality of locking elements, and it may be provided for each locking element of the plurality of locking elements, a first locking point and a second locking point of the raceway.
- the pulley arrangement may have three latching elements, three first latching points and three second latching points and optionally corresponding first and second ramp sections.
- one or more latching elements can be moved endlessly between a first latching point and a second latching point, so that the open position and the closed position of the friction clutch can alternate continuously.
- Providing the pulley assembly with the plurality of detents may increase safety in holding the friction clutch in its closed position or in its open position.
- the track may have an at least partially along the track extending receptacle for partially receiving the at least one locking element or the plurality of locking elements in which the at least one locking element or the plurality of locking elements can be performed safely.
- the at least one latching element or the plurality of latching elements can be spherical, that is to say in the form of a ball, or in the form of a roller, that is to say as a roller with preferably a spherically shaped cylinder jacket surface.
- This measure can cause a frictional force between the actuating means and the latching element can be reduced due to a relative movement of the latching element and the actuating means, so that a lifetime of the latching element and the actuating means can be increased.
- the pulley assembly may further comprise a counter-pressure element for the at least one latching element, wherein the counter-pressure element may be arranged on a side facing away from the actuating means of the at least one latching element. Consequently, the actuating means together with the latching element and the counter-pressure element can form a bearing in which the counter-pressure element and the actuating means can rotate relative to one another. This allows a simple rotatably holding the locking element between the actuating means and the counter-pressure element.
- the counter-pressure element and the pulley may be rotatable relative to each other, wherein the actuating means may be adapted to act in a first relative rotational position of the counter-pressure element with respect to the pulley, the friction clutch with a first axial force for pressing the friction clutch in the closed position and in a second relative rotational position of the counter-pressure element with respect to the pulley to act on the friction clutch with a second axial force for holding the friction clutch in the open position.
- the first relative rotational position may be the closed position of the friction clutch and the second relative rotational position may be the open position be assigned to the friction clutch.
- the first axial force may be equal to or different from the second axial force.
- the principle of "mechanical center release" can also be used with pulley rotating actuators. This can also be a particularly compact and inexpensive construction of the pulley assembly can be effected.
- the pulley and the actuating means to each other rotatably and rotatably formed and the counter-pressure element can be by means of a freewheel, which may be supported on a rotationally fixed and positionally fixed support member, in particular a housing of the pulley assembly, positionally stable and rotatably durable.
- the freewheel When rotating the pulley in the direction of rotation of the internal combustion engine, the freewheel can be designed in particular in the overtaking direction, so that the counter-pressure element can rotate together with the pulley and the actuating means.
- the counter-pressure element When driving the pulley by means of the starter generator, the counter-pressure element can be rotationally fixed and held position while the pulley can rotate together with the actuating means relative to the counter-pressure element according to the remindheftcardrich- direction of the starter generator against the predetermined direction of rotation of the pulley by the internal combustion engine.
- a circuit of the friction clutch between its open position and its closed position by means of the actuating means can be effected particularly easily by the friction clutch can be acted upon in response to a relative rotational position of the reaction element with respect to the pulley with an axial force of the actuating means.
- the counterpressure element can be formed substantially free of ramps on its side facing the at least one latching element. This measure can be realized in particular when substantially not against a rotational axis of the actuating means tiltable actuating means and / or at a substantially not tiltable against a rotational axis of the counter-pressure element counter-pressure element, since the at least one locking element does not slip off a surface of the flat counter-pressure element and the at least one Locking element can be performed safely on the surface of the counter-pressure element.
- the counter-pressure element may be counter-ramped in relation to the ramp-shaped actuating element on its side facing the at least one latching element. be formed, so that a distance between the actuating means and the counter-pressure element along the raceway can be substantially contant. As a result, slippage or release of the at least one latching element between the counter-pressure element and the ramp-shaped actuating element can be prevented.
- a maximum lift of corresponding first and second ramp sections of the counterpressure element and of the at least first ramp section and the at least second ramp section of the actuating means can amount to half of a stroke of the at least first and second ramp sections of the actuating means in the case of a ramp-free counterpressure element.
- Actuation of the friction clutch between its closed position and its open position may require a double relative rotation angle of the pulley and the actuating means.
- an axial space of the pulley arrangement can be particularly low.
- the counter-pressure element on its the spherical, at least one locking element side facing at least partially along a track extending receptacle for partially receiving the at least one locking element, so that the security can be increased in a guide of the at least one locking element.
- the counter-pressure element may have at least one holding element for rotatably holding the at least one latching element.
- the at least one retaining element can be designed, for example, as a needle sleeve or as an radially inwardly arranged, angular extension of the counterpressure element.
- the pulley assembly may further comprise a Belleville spring which may be disposed radially inside the pulley and at least partially adjacent to the friction clutch and may have a radially inner edge region, the radially inner edge region of the Belleville spring being axially displaceable along the raceway by means of a movement of the at least one detent element can.
- a radially outer edge region of the disc spring can be arranged in a rotationally fixed manner between an axial extension of the belt pulley and the friction clutch with respect to the pulley or a radially outer edge region of the counterpressure element arranged adjacent to the friction clutch.
- the diaphragm spring can serve simultaneously as an axial suspension of the friction clutch on the axial extension of the pulley and as an axial suspension of the counter-pressure element and / or the actuating means. Overall, an axial force of the actuating means is transmitted to the friction clutch by this measure.

- the radially inner edge region of the disc spring may have one or more tongues pointing radially inward.
- the axial bearing of the actuating means in particular on a housing or an axial extension of the pulley may allow a relative rotation of the actuating means and the pulley.
- the axial springing of the counter-pressure element may allow an axial displacement of the at least one latching element and the counter-pressure element and thus the plate spring corresponding to the raceway of the actuating means to act on the friction clutch with an axial force.
