Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switchable cam follower or a switchable support member of a valve train of an internal combustion engine, with an outer part, which is assembled with a cam in this direction relatively movable inner part, wherein the inner part at its separation gap to Au- vanteil two spaced apart or opposite openings for Coupling medium has, which openings in a Nockengrund Vietnamese to a further opening for the coupling medium in the outer part are aligned, wherein the coupling means are designed and arranged such that when coupling one on a coupling side the separating gap so engages over that it simultaneously in the opening of the outer and inner part runs.
  • Such a cam follower shown here as a turn-off rocker arm, goes out of the class considered as generic US 6,321,705 B1 out.
  • the disadvantage of this is that on both coupling sides a relatively high production cost must be operated. So both coupling sides must be made extremely accurate with respect to the radial clearance (free travel of the coupling means in its opening in Nockenhubides) and a play tolerance. Likewise, only the slightest form deviations are permitted. Also, it is not clear immediately upon reaching the coupling status on a coupling side which radial clearance then prevails on this side.
  • There is a switchable cam follower which is constructed relatively complex. The double accuracy increases the system risk on the coupling sides.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a cam follower or a support element of the aforementioned type, in which the cited disadvantages are eliminated and in particular in its coupling region simpler and cheaper to produce, at the same time secure coupling.
  • the coupling is thus designed so that always first the coupling means of the other, fine toleranced coupling side in the corresponding opening and that only on this side at the same time a small radial coupling play exists.
  • cam position for the displacement of the coupling means a base circle contact of the or the associated cam is provided.
  • other lifting positions are also conceivable.
  • the scope of the invention relates in particular to switchable cam followers such as the aforementioned bucket tappet, but also on roller or mushroom tappets for acting on pushrods, on lever-like cam followers, on switching bridges for acting on a plurality of gas exchange valves of equivalent action and on switchable support elements, provided that a two-sided coupling mechanism is used ,
  • the scope of the invention relates to switchable valve train members in which a slider packet is not rectified moves, but in which two similar coupling means are applied, for example, in the inner part, and be displaced radially outward beyond the separating gap for the coupling purpose.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention relates to the fact that the openings are formed as a bore and the coupling means as a piston-like slide.
  • the openings are also conceivable, such as polygonal ones, whereby a variety of coupling means in place of the slides will also be apparent to the person skilled in the art at this point.
  • wedges, balls and the like are also used. thought.
  • the openings in the outer part of the coupling medium are preferably diametrically opposite. However, provision is also made for a circumferential or height direction staggered positioning of this. It is also possible not to make the opening in the inner part as a through hole, but to apply blind holes.
  • the cam follower 1 as disclosed in both figures, consists of a cylindrical outer part 2, in the bore 3 a for this purpose axially movable inner part 4 is installed. Between the inner and the outer part 4, 2 extends an annular separation gap 5.
  • the inner part 4 has two diametrically opposite openings 6, 7, which are connected to a through hole. Both openings 6, 7 have an edge 8, 9.
  • the edges 8, 9 is in a cam position (here base circle run) depending on a further opening 10, 11 for later to be explained coupling means in alignment.
  • the opening 10 on a coupling side 12 has no coupling agent in the decoupling state, whereas is positioned in the opening 11 on another coupling side 13 designed as a piston-like slider coupling means 14.
  • a sleeve-like body 19 is installed within the bore 20, the coupling means 15 extends directly.
  • the opening 11 on the other coupling side 13 for the coupling means 14 also has a sleeve-like body 21, within which bore 22, the coupling medium 14 extends directly.
  • the edge 9 on the sleeve-like body 19 encloses, with sufficient coupling movement of the coupling means 14 in the opening 7, annular and thus all-embracing the coupling means 14.
  • this advantage is not given; however, as will be explained below, this can easily be accepted.
  • a radial play or a tolerance of the radial play of the coupling means 14 on the other coupling side 13 may be precisely designed, whereas a radial clearance or, a play tolerance for the coupling means 15 on the one coupling side 12 is roughly designed.
  • the shape deviation can be designed as mentioned above.
  • the coarser interpretation of the radial clearance on the one coupling side 12 causes in coupling only a slightly higher tilting of the outer to the inner part 2, 4.
  • the radial clearance is determined by the other, fine-tolerant coupling side 13.
