Description
- The present application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2004 046 076.0, filed Sep. 23, 2004, which application is incorporated herein fully by this reference.
- The invention relates to an exhaust flap means for motor vehicles.
- Particularly in bulky motor vehicle internal combustion engines, it is known to switch off individual cylinders in certain driving situations in order to save fuel. To maintain the required exhaust gas counter pressure in the exhaust gas system, exhaust flaps are arranged in one or more exhaust pipes. The exhaust flaps are connected with a flap shaft supported in at least one bearing means. Via a lever or a linkage, if necessary, a pivoting mechanism for pivoting the exhaust flap is connected to the flap shaft. Thereby, the exhaust flap can be arranged in different positions, particularly an open and a closed position, in the exhaust pipe. Apart from maintaining the exhaust gas counter-pressure in the exhaust gas system, exhaust flaps also serve to simulate the original sound of the engine when cylinders are switched off. The flap shaft may also be supported by a plain bearing sleeve serving as a radial bearing. Additionally, it is required that a separate axial bearing is provided for the axial support, which often is a bearing specifically constructed for this application. Providing a separate axial bearing leads to high mounting requirements. Further, such axial bearings are expensive.
- It is the object of the invention to provide an exhaust flap means with a simple and cost-effective bearing arrangement.
- This object is solved, according to the invention, with the features of claim 1.
- According to the invention, at least one bearing means for supporting the flap shaft is provided, the bearing means comprising a plain bearing sleeve that is preferably made of graphite or comprises a high amount of graphite. According to the invention, the plain bearing sleeve is arranged or configured such that it does not only serve as a radial bearing but also as an axial bearing. To this end, according to the invention, the flap shaft is connected with a contact element, e.g., a ring extending radially outward. The contact element is contacted by a front face of the plain bearing sleeve for forming the axial bearing. The front face of the plain bearing sleeve, which typically has the form of a circular ring, thus serves as an axial bearing in connection with the contact element connected with the flap shaft. By the implementation of the radial bearing and the axial bearing by means of a single plain bearing sleeve according to the invention, the number of components and thus the mounting requirements are considerably reduced. Further, it is no longer necessary to provide an expensive separate axial bearing so that the costs can be considerably reduced thereby.
- According to the invention, at least one bearing means comprises a plain bearing sleeve serving as an axial bearing or as a radial bearing. If necessary, a second bearing means for supporting the flap shaft may be provided. If necessary, it may be a bearing comprising a plain bearing sleeve for the radial support. A second axial bearing arrangement is not required. Further, the second bearing means may also comprise a ball bearing.
- The at least one bearing means is preferably arranged in an exhaust flap housing. The exhaust flap housing preferably is a tubular housing. Preferably, the at least one bearing means is provided at an outside of the exhaust flap housing. Likewise, the exhaust flap means may be directly mounted in the exhaust pipe so that the exhaust pipe itself represents the exhaust flap housing.
- To ensure a sure contact of the front face of the plain bearing sleeve with the contact element connected with the flap shaft, the contact element, in the direction of the front face, and/or the plain bearing sleeve, in the direction of the contact element, are preferably loaded by an axial force. The axial force is preferably applied by a spring element such as an elastomer, a spring and the like.
- It is particularly preferred to provide a spiral spring as a spring element, which surrounds the flap shaft and preferably presses the contact element in the direction of the face of the plain bearing sleeve.
- Preferably, the spring element is arranged such that it additionally serves as a restoring element for restoring the pivot mechanism into a normal position of the exhaust flap, e.g., an open position or a closed position. To this end, the spring element is preferably supported on the exhaust flap housing or an intermediate element connected with the exhaust flap housing.
- Preferably, the plain bearing sleeve that preferably includes graphite is sealed against an exhaust gas flow. By sealing, it is avoided that the plain bearing sleeve comes into contact with a major amount of oxygen since oxygen in connection with high temperatures would damage the graphite plain bearing sleeve. Preferably, a cap is provided which particularly surrounds a free end of the plain bearing sleeve. Thereby, it is avoided that exhaust gases and thus oxygen flow through the plain bearing sleeve. Preferably, the cap is the contact element. The flap may surround the plain bearing sleeve completely or implement a sealing in combination with a housing element surrounding the plain bearing sleeve.
- Hereinafter, the invention is explained in detail with respect to a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawing.
- The FIGURE shows, partially in section, a schematic view of a bearing portion of a preferred embodiment of the exhaust flap means according to the invention.
- The exhaust flap means comprises an
exhaust flap 10 that is firmly connected with aflap shaft 12. Aprojection 14 of theflap shaft 12 is connected with a non-illustrated pivot mechanism via alever 16. Via the pivot mechanism, theexhaust flap 10 arranged within a tubularexhaust flap housing 18 can be pivoted. Theexhaust flap 10 can be particularly pivoted into a closed position and into an open position in which theexhaust flap 10 is arranged in flow direction. - The
flap shaft 12 is supported by a bearing means 20. The bearing means 20 comprises a plain bearingsleeve 22. The plain bearingsleeve 22 initially serves as a radial bearing of theflap shaft 12. - The plain bearing
sleeve 22 is arranged in ahousing element 24 which is configured as a sleeve as well. Thesleeve 24 is configured such that it is a little bit shorter in longitudinal direction than theplain bearing sleeve 22. The plain bearingsleeve 22 is pressed into thesleeve 24 in such a manner that the plain bearing sleeve 22 protrudes with respect to thesleeve 24 at that end which is the upper one in the FIGURE. Thus, afront face 26 of the plain bearingsleeve 22 is freely accessible. At thefront face 26, the axial bearing is formed by a pot-shaped contact element 28 bearing on thefront face 26 in the illustrated embodiment. Thecontact element 28 is firmly connected with theflap shaft 12 and theprojection 14 of theflap shaft 12, respectively. Thefront face 26 of the plain bearingsleeve 22 thus bears on an inner surface of the pot-shaped contact element 28. The pot-shaped contact element 28 is axially pressed in the direction of thefront face 26 by ahelical spring 30. To this end, thehelical spring 30 surrounds theflap shaft 12. On the one hand, thehelical spring 30 is supported on anannular projection 32 of the pot-shaped contact element and, on the other hand, on acylindrical housing element 34. Thehousing element 34 is connected with theexhaust flap housing 18 and further comprises an anti-twist device. The anti-twist device retains one end of thehelical spring 30. This results in that thehelical spring 30 is twisted when the pivot mechanism is actuated so that thespring 30 simultaneously acts as a restoring element by means of which theexhaust flap 10 is turned back into a normal position, e.g., an open position, when the pivot mechanism is released. - In order to avoid damage to the
plain bearing sleeve 22 that preferably comprises graphite, theplain bearing sleeve 22 is sealed. This is effected by thesleeve 24 surrounding theplain bearing sleeve 22 as well as by the pot-shaped contact element partially covering thesleeve 24. This ensures that a small portion of exhaust gases and thus of oxygen at most flows through theplain bearing sleeve 22 and causes damage to the plain bearing sleeve in connection with the high temperature. - Although the invention has been described and illustrated with reference to a specific illustrative embodiment thereof, it is not intended that the invention be limited to this illustrative embodiment. Those skilled in the art will recognize that variations and modifications can be made without departing from the true scope of the invention as defined by the claims that follow. It is therefore intended to include within the invention all such variations and modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
