Definitions
- Cardan joints that consist of an internal and external joint part are well-known. They primarily serve as the torsional moment conversion between shafts that are subjected to much larger shifts while in operation. The inclusion of axial shifts are thereby possible as well.
- the cardan shaft is made of two joints and one intermediate shaft.
- the intermediate shaft is mostly implemented as telescope shaft in order to compensate for elongations. It is a condition for a monotonous conversion that both joint forks are situated on one level and, in the event that the angles of deflection at both joint forks are the same sizes, at least in the most frequent situation while in operation.
- a process was proposed for producing a metallic sintered component or forging, in particular an internal joint part of a Cardan joint, which is provided with a ball path, whereby a charge cavity is filled with powder, the charge cavity is delimited by means of a die, at least one molding mandrel and a charging mandrel positioned opposite the latter, a central mandrel, and at least one lower and upper punch; the powder is compressed in the charge cavity by pressure on the upper and/or lower punch to form a green product, which is then expelled and sintered.
- Metallic sintered powder is introduced in the charge cavity.
- the molding mandrel is pulled in until the charging mandrel, and the geometry of parts is fixed through a relative displacement of the tools against one another, and, subsequently, the powder is compressed by pressure in the upper and/or lower punch to form a green product.
- the newly pressed green product is then expelled and sintered from the compression fixture.
- a calibration process after the sintering and/or forging is possible to obtain lower tolerances and/or a partial compression. It is for example advantageous to drum the ball paths of the internal joint part coldly or, alternatively, to drum after the sinter forging.
- Components that have been manufactured according to a sinter-metallurgic process have the advantage that all the bodies of the internal joint part form a high-strength structure that demonstrates excellent material features and surface quality.
- the charging mandrel runs into the die in a charging position, the central mandrel runs into the die in a charging position and the lower punch is maintained in a charging position.
- the molding mandrel that is attributed to the charging mandrel runs into the die, whereby the molding mandrel pushes the charging mandrel downward in the die and the ball paths are thereby shaped in powder through the geometry of the molding mandrel.
- the upper punch runs into the die until at upper punch pressing position, and the powder is compressed to the green product whereby ball paths are created through the geometry of the die.
- the lower punch runs into the die until at lower punch pressing position and also the powder is compressed.
- the upper punch and molding mandrel extend from the die and the central mandrel is withdrawn from the green product during the discharge procedure.
- the external outline of the internal joint part, the inner race is partially formed by the die itself and partially by molding mandrels moving in the pressing direction in the die.
- the plan is that the side of the charging mandrel in the charging position, which is turned towards the molding mandrel, flushes with the top side of the die and the top side of the central mandrel, that the molding mandrel in the charging positions is positioned at the top side of the charging mandrel and pushes these back.
- pressure is exercised on the upper punch, which runs into the die, and afterwards the upper punch and molding mandrel extend from the die and the newly pressed green product is expelled from the die through the lower punch.
- the surface of the ball paths is compressed after the sintering procedure.
- the compression of the surface in order to achieve a higher level of firmness can for instance take place through drumming, whereby it is advantageous when solely partitions of the ball path surface is compressed. It is appropriate if at least the contact surface of the balls of the ball path surface is compressed.
- the ball compresses at least one partition. It is appropriate if the ball, which is preferably made of carbide, rolls at least once, particularly multiple times over the surface to be compressed, so that the surface is gradually compressed and deformed.
- the readymade sintered part is subsequently forged whereby the sintered part is inserted in the die on a central mandrel by means of ball paths, a forging tool presses the sintered part for shaping purposes and for the external outline, and is afterwards expelled.
- the readymade sintered part is calibrated following the sintering or forging procedure, whereby the sintered part is inserted in the die on a central mandrel by means of ball paths, a calibration tool presses the sintered part for shaping purposes and for the external outline, and is afterwards expelled.
- An addition solution of the task is stated through a fixture for the manufacture of metallic sintered parts, in particular of an internal joint part of a cardan joint, with ball paths, with a pressing fixture, with at least one molding mandrel and at least one charging mandrel attributed to a molding mandrel, an upper and lower punch and a central mandrel that shape the charge cavity and are radially surrounded by a die.
- a pressing fixture is characterized by a simple sequence of operations.
- the pressing procedure is cost-effective and primarily time-saving in comparison to the known metal-cutting manufacture. As a result of this, it is possible to manufacture a large quantity of internal joint parts in short period of time.
- the die that encloses the charging and molding mandrels intercepts the pressure that has a radial effect on the molding mandrels.
- the task is further on solved by means of a metallic sintered part, in particular the internal joint part of a cardan joint, with ball paths positioned on the external perimeter, whereby the sintered part is made of one piece.
- a metallic sintered part in particular the internal joint part of a cardan joint
- ball paths positioned on the external perimeter
- the sintered part is made of one piece.
- the ball paths are positioned in an angle towards the pressing axle and/or curved towards the pressing axle.
- the internal joint part is shaped with undercuts, cavities and profiles, preferably with ball paths that are axially aligned and radially curved towards the joint body axle, in other words, also towards the pressing direction.
- the ball paths are hereby developed with track ground and track sides and the internal joint part demonstrates a geometry which enables it to press the internal joint part axially and to withdraw it from the pressing fixture and forging fixture, respectively.
- the ball paths are roughly elliptically shaped. This definition is particularly advantageous, since the balls only bear on two points on the ball paths and results in only one contact line on the ball path during the roll motion. This area is presented as aforesaid, compressed advantageously and, if necessary, heat and/or surface-treated.
- the ball paths are constructed with multiple cornerss. Also this design of the ball path offers the advantage, as is the case for the roughly elliptical ball path, that the balls only show a minor bearing area on the ball path and, as a result, the rolling friction decreases and in particular the Hertzian stress can be optimized.
- the ball paths will indicate a higher density in partitions, particularly in the area of the ball contact surface.
- the ball paths are heat-treated in partitions, particularly in the area of the ball contact surface.
- Such a component features the advantage that the ball paths acquire a high level of firmness.
- the component can for instance be heat-treated at least in the area of the ball paths by means of inductive and case hardenings.
- the ball paths are surface-treated in partitions, especially in the area of the ball contact surface.
- the surface for example can be treated in cold and warm conditions through shot peening, plasmanitriding, nitrocarburazing, phosphatizing and drumming in order to optimize the characteristics of the ball contact surface purposefully.

- the points of contact 17 , 17 ′ are separated from one another in angle 2 ⁇ from the center of the ball.
- This design is particularly advantageous, since balls 32 are positioned only on two points on ball path 7 and results in only one contact line on ball path 7 during the roll motion. Thus, as balls 32 only have a small bearing area on ball path 7 , it decreases the rolling friction.
- the curving of ball 32 and of ball path 7 are optimized in such a way that the Hertzian stress is minimized.
- This area is advantageously compressed and, if necessary, heat and/or surface treated.
- Possible processes would be for instance inductive hardenings, case hardenings, shot peening, plasmanitriding, nitrocarburizing, phosphatizing and drumming in cold and hot conditions.

Description
- This application claims foreign priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of Application No. PCT/EP02/09229 filed Aug. 17, 2002 in PCT, which claims priority to German Application Number 101 42 805.7 filed Aug. 31, 2001.
- Cardan joints that consist of an internal and external joint part are well-known. They primarily serve as the torsional moment conversion between shafts that are subjected to much larger shifts while in operation. The inclusion of axial shifts are thereby possible as well.
- An example for the conversion of the torsional moment through shafts that are bent against one another, is the constant velocity cardan joint. The latter belong to the category of Cardan joints, the most common design of which is the universal joint. In the case of the universal joint, the joint forks of both shafts are connected by means of a pin. Essentially, simple universal joints do not allow for small angular changes. Axial and radial displacements of the shafts are not possible.
- The constant velocity cardan joint avoids these disadvantages. Contrary to the universal joints, similarly shaped revolutions are produced on the drive side at uniform angular speed by means of constant velocity cardan joints. The same is valid for the torsional moments.
- The cardan shaft is made of two joints and one intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft is mostly implemented as telescope shaft in order to compensate for elongations. It is a condition for a monotonous conversion that both joint forks are situated on one level and, in the event that the angles of deflection at both joint forks are the same sizes, at least in the most frequent situation while in operation.
- It is the objective of this invention to provide a process and a fixture with which a metallic sintered part or forging, in particular an internal joint part of a cardan joint can be manufactured in a simplified and precise manner.
- The invention solves this objective by means of the characteristics named in the process, fixture and factual claims.
- According to the invention, a process was proposed for producing a metallic sintered component or forging, in particular an internal joint part of a Cardan joint, which is provided with a ball path, whereby a charge cavity is filled with powder, the charge cavity is delimited by means of a die, at least one molding mandrel and a charging mandrel positioned opposite the latter, a central mandrel, and at least one lower and upper punch; the powder is compressed in the charge cavity by pressure on the upper and/or lower punch to form a green product, which is then expelled and sintered. Metallic sintered powder is introduced in the charge cavity. The molding mandrel is pulled in until the charging mandrel, and the geometry of parts is fixed through a relative displacement of the tools against one another, and, subsequently, the powder is compressed by pressure in the upper and/or lower punch to form a green product. Upon driving back the upper punch and the molding mandrel, the newly pressed green product is then expelled and sintered from the compression fixture. In order to achieve a higher density it is appropriate when the sintered part is deformed warm or cold after the sintering process. A calibration process after the sintering and/or forging is possible to obtain lower tolerances and/or a partial compression. It is for example advantageous to drum the ball paths of the internal joint part coldly or, alternatively, to drum after the sinter forging.
- Components that have been manufactured according to a sinter-metallurgic process have the advantage that all the bodies of the internal joint part form a high-strength structure that demonstrates excellent material features and surface quality.
- It was the intention of the advantageous design of the invention that for the charging process, the charging mandrel runs into the die in a charging position, the central mandrel runs into the die in a charging position and the lower punch is maintained in a charging position. During the pressing procedure, the molding mandrel that is attributed to the charging mandrel runs into the die, whereby the molding mandrel pushes the charging mandrel downward in the die and the ball paths are thereby shaped in powder through the geometry of the molding mandrel. At the same time, the upper punch runs into the die until at upper punch pressing position, and the powder is compressed to the green product whereby ball paths are created through the geometry of the die. The lower punch runs into the die until at lower punch pressing position and also the powder is compressed. The upper punch and molding mandrel extend from the die and the central mandrel is withdrawn from the green product during the discharge procedure. The external outline of the internal joint part, the inner race, is partially formed by the die itself and partially by molding mandrels moving in the pressing direction in the die. Depending on the geometry of the internal joint part, at least two upper molding mandrels and two lower charging mandrels, preferably three mandrels, which are mounted in the die and are movable in the pressing direction, are provided for.
- In a particular advantageous design of the invention, the plan is that the side of the charging mandrel in the charging position, which is turned towards the molding mandrel, flushes with the top side of the die and the top side of the central mandrel, that the molding mandrel in the charging positions is positioned at the top side of the charging mandrel and pushes these back. At the same time pressure is exercised on the upper punch, which runs into the die, and afterwards the upper punch and molding mandrel extend from the die and the newly pressed green product is expelled from the die through the lower punch.
- Within the appropriate design of the invention, it is the intention to compress the powder to a green product through pressure and heat.
- It is the intention of the particularly appropriate design of the invention that the die and at least a punch is heated up during the pressing.
- Within the appropriate design of the invention, it is planned that the form of the ball paths are shaped by the molding mandrel.
- Within a further appropriate design of the invention, it is intended for the form of the ball paths to be shaped by the molding mandrel and the die.
- In an advantageous design of the invention, it is provided that the surface of the ball paths is compressed after the sintering procedure. The compression of the surface in order to achieve a higher level of firmness can for instance take place through drumming, whereby it is advantageous when solely partitions of the ball path surface is compressed. It is appropriate if at least the contact surface of the balls of the ball path surface is compressed.
- In a particular advantageous design of the invention, it is intended that, following the sintering procedure, the surface of the ball paths is compressed at least by means of a ball, which exercises pressure vertically onto the ball path surface.
- Within a further appropriate design of the invention, it is the plan that at least once the ball compresses at least one partition. It is appropriate if the ball, which is preferably made of carbide, rolls at least once, particularly multiple times over the surface to be compressed, so that the surface is gradually compressed and deformed.
- In an advantageous design of the invention, it is the intention that the readymade sintered part is subsequently forged whereby the sintered part is inserted in the die on a central mandrel by means of ball paths, a forging tool presses the sintered part for shaping purposes and for the external outline, and is afterwards expelled.
- Within a further appropriate design of the invention, it is provided that the readymade sintered part is calibrated following the sintering or forging procedure, whereby the sintered part is inserted in the die on a central mandrel by means of ball paths, a calibration tool presses the sintered part for shaping purposes and for the external outline, and is afterwards expelled.
- An addition solution of the task is stated through a fixture for the manufacture of metallic sintered parts, in particular of an internal joint part of a cardan joint, with ball paths, with a pressing fixture, with at least one molding mandrel and at least one charging mandrel attributed to a molding mandrel, an upper and lower punch and a central mandrel that shape the charge cavity and are radially surrounded by a die. Such a pressing fixture is characterized by a simple sequence of operations. The pressing procedure is cost-effective and primarily time-saving in comparison to the known metal-cutting manufacture. As a result of this, it is possible to manufacture a large quantity of internal joint parts in short period of time. The die that encloses the charging and molding mandrels intercepts the pressure that has a radial effect on the molding mandrels.
- In an advantageous design of the invention, it is the intention that per three molding mandrels and three charging mandrels attributed to these are planned, and which are run in recesses in the die.
- The charging and molding mandrels and the die itself that are positioned in the cavities of the die altogether form the external outline of the internal joint part, that based on its geometrical design cannot be manufactured with the usual pressing fixtures.
- The task is further on solved by means of a metallic sintered part, in particular the internal joint part of a cardan joint, with ball paths positioned on the external perimeter, whereby the sintered part is made of one piece. For reasons of firmness and durability of the internal joint part, it is advantageous to shape the latter in one piece and not to assemble from two for instance pressing-technical easy to manufacture components.
- In an appropriate design of the invention, it is intended that the ball paths are positioned in an angle towards the pressing axle and/or curved towards the pressing axle. The internal joint part is shaped with undercuts, cavities and profiles, preferably with ball paths that are axially aligned and radially curved towards the joint body axle, in other words, also towards the pressing direction. The ball paths are hereby developed with track ground and track sides and the internal joint part demonstrates a geometry which enables it to press the internal joint part axially and to withdraw it from the pressing fixture and forging fixture, respectively.
- In a further appropriate design of the invention, it is intended that the ball paths are round-shaped.
- In an advantageous design of the invention, it is provided that the ball paths are roughly elliptically shaped. This definition is particularly advantageous, since the balls only bear on two points on the ball paths and results in only one contact line on the ball path during the roll motion. This area is presented as aforesaid, compressed advantageously and, if necessary, heat and/or surface-treated.
- In an appropriate design of the invention, it is intended that the ball paths are constructed with multiple cornerss. Also this design of the ball path offers the advantage, as is the case for the roughly elliptical ball path, that the balls only show a minor bearing area on the ball path and, as a result, the rolling friction decreases and in particular the Hertzian stress can be optimized.
- In advantageous design of the invention, it is intended that the ball paths will indicate a higher density in partitions, particularly in the area of the ball contact surface.
- In a further advantageous design of the invention, it is intended that the ball paths are heat-treated in partitions, particularly in the area of the ball contact surface. Such a component features the advantage that the ball paths acquire a high level of firmness. The component can for instance be heat-treated at least in the area of the ball paths by means of inductive and case hardenings.
- In a particularly advantageous design of the invention, it is intended that the ball paths are surface-treated in partitions, especially in the area of the ball contact surface. The surface for example can be treated in cold and warm conditions through shot peening, plasmanitriding, nitrocarburazing, phosphatizing and drumming in order to optimize the characteristics of the ball contact surface purposefully.

- FIG. 7 an inner race in top view
- FIG. 8 an inner race according to section A-A in FIG. 7
- FIG. 9 an inner race with ball in cross-section
- FIG. 1 illustrates a constant velocity cardan joint1. It also shows external
joint part 2 and internaljoint part 3. Externaljoint part 2 is connected toshaft 4, and internaljoint part 3 is connected toshaft 5.Shaft joint part 3 is included in externaljoint part 2. Balls 6 inball paths 7 are thereby positioned in such a way between externaljoint part 2 and internaljoint part 3, that balls 6 are directed against one another inball paths 7 when bendingshafts shafts cap ring 8 which retains the balls in the ball paths. In the event that the axle drive shaft is turned, the output shaft is transferred also in case of corresponding bending within the possible limits with equal revolutions and torsional moment. Cardan joint 1 has been sealed up outwards by means offlexible seal 18. -
Ball paths 7 can be positioned parallel or in an angle towards the pressing axle (inner race axle 20). - It is further on possible that
ball paths 7 are curved towards the pressing axle (inner race axle 20). As a result, radially curvedball paths 7 are a possibility wherebyball paths 7 are equipped withtrack ground 12 and track sides 13. - FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a
pressing fixture 21 for inner race 3 (internal joint part), wherebypressing fixture 21 features three molding mandrels 22.1, 22.2, 22.3 and charging mandrels 23.1, 23.2, 23.3 attributed to these. Furthermore, alower punch 24,upper punch 25, as well ascentral mandrel 26 are provided. Thepunches mandrels die 27.Die 27, which encloses charging andmolding mandrels molding mandrel 22. -
Molding mandrel 22 and chargingmandrel 23 that is attributed to the latter are run in cavities 28.1, 28.2 indie 27. The charging andmolding mandrels joint part 3 that based on its geometrical design cannot be manufactured with usual pressing fixtures. - FIG. 3 demonstrates a perspective view of pressing
fixture 21 wherebymolding mandrel 22 has run intodie 27.Molding mandrel 22 runs intodie 27 during the pressing procedure, wherebymolding mandrel 22pushes charging mandrel 23 downward indie 27, and wherebyball paths 7 ofinner race 3 are changed into powder by means of the geometry ofmolding mandrel 22. - FIG. 4 shows compression molding die21 in charging position. It is intended that charging
mandrel 23 runs intodie 27 in a charging position for the charging procedure, thatcentral mandrel 26 runs into the die in charging position and thatlower punch 24 is maintained in charging position.Charge cavity 28 is filled with sinteredpowder 29 in charging position, wherebycharge cavity 28 is delimited bydie 27, the three molding mandrels 22.1, 22.2, 22.3 and charging mandrels 23.1, 23.2, 23.3 attributed to these,central mandrel 26, as well as by lower andupper punch mandrel 23 that is turned towardsmolding mandrel 22 remains at equal height astop side 30 ofdie 27 andtop side 31 ofcentral mandrel 26. - Charging and
molding mandrels cavities 28 ofdie 27, form the external outline of internaljoint part 3 that on the basis of its geometrical design cannot be manufactured with the usual pressing fixtures. - FIG. 5 demonstrates compression molding die21 in pressing position.
Molding mandrels 22 will run in until chargingmandrels 23, wherebymolding mandrel 22pushes charging mandrel 23 downwards indie 27 and, as a result,ball paths 7 ofinner race 3 are changed to powder through the geometry ofmolding mandrel 22. At the same time,upper punch 25 is run indie 27 until an upper punch pressing position so that the powder can be compressed to a green product, and wherebyball paths 7 are created also by the geometry ofdie 27.Lower punch 24 runs in until a lower punch position is attained, whereby also the powder is compressed.Die 27, which encloses charging andmolding mandrels molding mandrel 22. A displacement of the tools relatively against one another during the pressing procedure fixes the parts' geometry ofinner race 3. - It is advantageous when the sintered powder is compressed to a green product with the application of heat. For example, die27 and at
least punch - FIG. 6 shows compression molding die21 in discharge position.
Upper punch 25 andmolding mandrel 22 are extended fromdie 27 during the discharge procedure.Central mandrel 26 is retracted fromgreen product 3. Readymade pressed green product is expelled from the die by means oflower punch 24. - Subsequently,
green product 2 is sintered. - It is an advantage when the readymade sintered
green product 3 is cold and hot deformed after the sintering procedure in order to achieve a higher density. A calibration procedure after the sintering and/or forging is possible to obtain lower tolerances and/or a partial compression. It is for instance an advantage to drumball paths 7 of internaljoint part 3 cold or, alternatively, to drum after the sintering-forging. It is advantageous when only partitions of the ball path surface is compressed whereby at leastcontact area 16 ofballs 32 of the ball path surface must be compressed. - The compression of the ball path surface can for instance occur as a result of the fact that the surface of
ball paths 7 is compressed by means of a ball after sintering, the pressure is exercised vertically onto the ball path area, whereby the ball at least one compresses at least a partition ofball path 7. It is, however, advantageous if the ball, which preferably consists of hard metal, roll multiple times across the area to be compressed so that the surface can be gradually compressed and deformed. - It is an advantage if readymade sintered
part 3 is subsequently forged, whereby sinteredpart 3 is inserted indie 27 by means ofball path 7 ontocentral mandrel 26, a forging tool for shaping the external outline presses sinteredpart 3, and, subsequently, the latter is expelled. - It is also advantageous after the sintering and forging procedure, when sintered
part 3 is calibrated. Tools can be applied for forging and calibrating purposes, which are roughly of the same build as the aforesaid compression molding die 21. - It is also particularly possible to forge a regulinic molding blank to an
inner race 3 by means of the aforesaid forging tool. - FIG. 7 demonstrates
inner race 3 in a top view.Inner race 3 is made of one piece and, as a result, the firmness and durability ofinner race 3 is high.Ball paths 7 are positioned in an angle towards the pressing axle (inner race axle 20).Inner race 3 shows in eachcase ball paths 7 attributed to one another in pairs.Ball paths 7 are axially aligned within the image plane and demonstrate a radial bending 14. In each ofball paths 7 attributed to one another in pairs, the curving 14 is opposed, in other words,ball paths 7 run towards one another in an axial direction.Inner race axle 20 runs vertically towards the image plane through the center ofinner race 3. - FIG. 8 shows
inner race 3 according to section A-A in FIG. 7. - FIG. 9 demonstrates
ball path 7 with aball 32 in section.Ball 32 shows a round geometry.Ball path 7 shows a geometry that is roughly elliptical.Ball 32 runs oncontact surface contact ball path 7 at all times. Every point ofcontact track side contact balls 32 are positioned only on two points onball path 7 and results in only one contact line onball path 7 during the roll motion. Thus, asballs 32 only have a small bearing area onball path 7, it decreases the rolling friction. The curving ofball 32 and ofball path 7 are optimized in such a way that the Hertzian stress is minimized. This area is advantageously compressed and, if necessary, heat and/or surface treated. Possible processes would be for instance inductive hardenings, case hardenings, shot peening, plasmanitriding, nitrocarburizing, phosphatizing and drumming in cold and hot conditions.
