Gebiet der Erfindung Field of the invention
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wälzlager mit zwei koaxial zueinander angeordneten Lagerringen mit zwischen diesen in einem radialen Zwischenraum abwälzenden Wälzkörpern und einer den Zwischenraum an zumindest einer Stirnseite des Wälzlagers nach außen abdichtenden Dichtung. The invention relates to a rolling bearing with two bearing rings arranged coaxially to one another with rolling elements rolling off between them in a radial gap and a seal sealing the clearance on at least one end face of the rolling bearing to the outside.
Hintergrund der Erfindung Gattungsgemäße Wälzlager mit zwei zueinander als Außen- und Innenring ausgebildeten Lagerringen und zwischen diesen auf entsprechenden Laufbahnen abwälzenden Wälzkörpern sind hinreichend bekannt. Zur Abdichtung eines radialen Zwischenraums der Lagerringe nach außen sind verschiedene Formen von Dichtungen bekannt. Beispielsweise ist aus der DE 10 2012 206 892 A1 eine als Dichtscheibe gegenüber beiden Lagerringen abdichtende Dichtscheibe bekannt, die an dem Außenring mittels einer verdrehgesicherten Bajonettverbindung aufgenommen ist. Aus der DE 10 2010 053 859 A1 ist eine zwischen den beiden Lagerringen angeordnete Dichtscheibe aus Kunststoff bekannt, die mittels eines Außenumfangs an einem Hinterschnitt des Außenrings verschnappt ist. Aus der DE 10 2009 025 130 A1 ist eine dynamische Dichtung bekannt, die an einem Lagerring mittels einer Dichtlippe abdichtet und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite mit- tels einer Presspassung mit dem anderen Lagerring drehfest verbunden ist. Schließlich ist aus der DE 10 2006 040 776 A1 eine Dichtung bekannt, die als deckeiförmiges Scheibenteil die gesamte Stirnfläche des Wälzlagers abdeckt. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Generic rolling bearings having two bearing rings formed as outer and inner rings relative to each other and rolling elements rolling on respective raceways are well known. For sealing a radial clearance of the bearing rings to the outside various forms of seals are known. For example, from DE 10 2012 206 892 A1 a sealing disc as a sealing against two bearing rings sealing disc is known, which is accommodated on the outer ring by means of a twist-secured bayonet connection. From DE 10 2010 053 859 A1 a arranged between the two bearing rings sealing disc made of plastic is known, which is snapped by means of an outer periphery of an undercut of the outer ring. From DE 10 2009 025 130 A1 a dynamic seal is known which seals on a bearing ring by means of a sealing lip and on the opposite side mit- Tels a press fit with the other bearing ring is rotatably connected. Finally, from DE 10 2006 040 776 A1 a seal is known, which covers the entire end face of the rolling bearing as a ceiling-shaped disk part.
Aufgabe der Erfindung Object of the invention
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die vorteilhafte Weiterbildung eines Wälzlagers mit einer einfach herzustellenden drehfesten Anbindung einer Dichtung an einen Lagerring. The object of the invention is the advantageous development of a rolling bearing with a simple to produce rotationally fixed connection of a seal to a bearing ring.
Allgemeine Beschreibung der Erfindung General description of the invention
Die Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, die von dem Anspruch 1 abhängigen Ansprüche geben vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen des Gegenstands des Anspruchs 1 wieder. Das vorgeschlagene Wälzlager enthält zwei koaxial zueinander angeordnete Lagerringe in Form eines ein- oder mehrteiligen Außenrings und eines ein- oder mehrteiligen Innenrings in Form eines Rillenkugellagers, Schrägkugellagers, Zylinderrollenlagers, Kegelrollenlagers, Tonnenrollenlagers, Nadellagers und dergleichen. Auf ein- oder mehrreihigen Laufbahnen wälzen dabei zwischen den Lagerringen Wälzkörper ab, so dass zwischen den Laufringen an einer oder beiden Stirnseiten ein nach außen offener radialer Zwischenraum zwischen den Laufringen vorgesehen ist. An zumindest einer Stirnseite des Wälzlagers ist zum Schutz beispielsweise gegen von außen eindringendes Wasser, Verschmutzungen wie Staub oder dergleichen eine nach außen abdichtende Dichtung vorgesehen. Die Dichtung ist gegenüber einem der Lagerringe mittels an einem Umfang der Dichtung verteilter elastischer Zähne an einem Gegenprofil des Lagerrings verliersicher und drehfest verkrallt. Auf diese Weise kann eine umlaufend konstante Befestigungskraft erzielt werden, so dass auf den Lagerring keine Befestigungskräfte wirken, die die Rundheit des Lagerrings negativ beeinflussen. The object is solved by the subject matter of claim 1, the dependent of the claim 1 claims give advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of claim 1 again. The proposed rolling bearing contains two coaxially arranged bearing rings in the form of a one- or multi-part outer ring and a single or multi-part inner ring in the form of a deep groove ball bearing, angular contact ball bearing, cylindrical roller bearing, tapered roller bearing, roller bearing, needle roller bearing and the like. Rolling bodies roll on single or multi-row raceways between the bearing rings, so that between the races on one or both end faces an outwardly open radial clearance is provided between the races. On at least one end face of the rolling bearing is provided for protection against, for example, from the outside penetrating water, dirt such as dust or the like, a sealing gasket to the outside. The seal against one of the bearing rings by means of distributed on a circumference of the seal elastic teeth on a counter-profile of the bearing ring captive and rotatably locked. In this way, a circumferentially constant fastening force be achieved so that no fastening forces act on the bearing ring, which adversely affect the roundness of the bearing ring.
Die Dichtung kann an einem als Innenring ausgebildeten Lagerring angeordnet sein und weist hierzu die Zähne am Innenumfang der Dichtung auf. In bevorzugter Weise ist die Dichtung jedoch an einem als Außenring ausgebildeten Lagerring angeordnet. Hierbei weist die Dichtung die über den Umfang verteilten Zähne an deren Außenumfang auf. The seal may be arranged on a bearing ring formed as an inner ring and has for this purpose the teeth on the inner circumference of the seal. Preferably, however, the seal is arranged on a bearing ring designed as an outer ring. In this case, the seal on the circumferentially distributed teeth on the outer circumference.
Die Dichtung ist gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform an einer axialen Anlagefläche des einen Lagerrings wie Außenring angelegt. Die über den Umfang bevorzugt lückenlos über den Umfang angeordneten Zähne sind hierbei nach radial außen umgelegt. Das Gegenprofil des Außenrings ist dabei aus einem axialen, radial erweiterten Hinterschnitt in einem axial die Dichtung umgreifenden Bereich des Außenrings gebildet. Durch die elasti- sehe Ausbildung der Zähne kann die Dichtung gegen die Anlagefläche ge- presst und die Zähne können in den Hinterschnitt unter elastischer Verformung zu einem kleineren Durchmesser in den Hinterschnitt eingeschnappt beziehungsweise eingerastet werden. Die Zähne bilden an dem Hinterschnitt einen axialen Formschluss mit dem Außenring und verkrallen sich beim Einschnappen mit dem Außenring, so dass eine verliersichere und drehfeste Aufnahme der Dichtung an dem Außenring erfolgt. In ähnlicher Weise kann eine Dichtung mit einem entsprechenden Hinterschnitt eines Innenrings verbunden werden. Um beispielsweise den Bauraum des Zwischenraums zu erweitern, kann die Dichtung in einem Bereich des Zwischenraums axial nach außen erweitert sein. Bevorzugt fluchtet diese Erweiterung mit dem axial endseitigen Ab- schluss wie Stirnfläche des Außenrings, so dass eine im Wesentlichen plane Stirnseite des Wälzlagers erzielt wird. The seal is applied according to a preferred embodiment of an axial bearing surface of a bearing ring as outer ring. The preferably over the circumference of the circumference circumferentially arranged teeth are hereby folded radially outward. The mating profile of the outer ring is formed from an axial, radially enlarged undercut in an axially surrounding the seal region of the outer ring. As a result of the elastic design of the teeth, the seal can be pressed against the contact surface and the teeth can be snapped or latched into the undercut with elastic deformation to a smaller diameter in the undercut. The teeth form on the undercut an axial positive engagement with the outer ring and digs when snapping with the outer ring, so that a captive and rotationally fixed receiving the seal is made on the outer ring. Similarly, a seal can be connected to a corresponding undercut of an inner ring. For example, to expand the space of the gap, the seal may be extended axially outwardly in a region of the gap. Preferably, this extension is aligned with the axial end-side termination as the end face of the outer ring, so that a substantially planar end face of the rolling bearing is achieved.
Die Dichtung kann aus Kunststoff beispielsweise mittels eines Spritzgussverfahrens hergestellt sein, in vorteilhafter Weise machen sich die Vorteile der vorgeschlagenen Dichtung insbesondere bei den wesentlich steifer ausgebildeten Dichtungen aus Metall bemerkbar. Eine derartige Dichtung kann aus Blech hergestellt, beispielsweise gestanzt und umformend, beispielsweise tiefgezogen oder in einer Matrize umgeformt hergestellt sein. The seal can be made of plastic, for example by means of an injection molding process, advantageously make the advantages of the proposed seal in particular in the essential Stiffer trained seals made of metal noticeable. Such a seal may be made of sheet metal, for example stamped and formed, for example, deep-drawn or formed in a die formed.
Die Dichtung kann ringförmig ausgebildet sein und gegenüber dem anderen, radial gegenüberliegenden Lagerring, beispielsweise dem Innenring abgedichtet sein. Die Abdichtung kann mittels eines einfachen oder labyrinthför- migen Luftspalts gegenüber dem anderen Lagerring oder mittels einer dy- namischen Dichtung erfolgen. Die dynamische Dichtung ist bevorzugt mittels zumindest einer Dichtlippe ausgebildet. Alternativ können polymere Dichtstoffe wie Kautschuk, Gummi oder dergleichen, Filz- und Faserstoffe oder dergleichen alternativ oder zusätzlich in anderer Form die dynamische Dichtung bilden. The seal may be annular and be sealed relative to the other, radially opposite bearing ring, for example, the inner ring. The seal can be made by means of a simple or labyrinth-shaped air gap in relation to the other bearing ring or by means of a dynamic seal. The dynamic seal is preferably formed by means of at least one sealing lip. Alternatively, polymeric sealants such as rubber, rubber or the like, felt and fibrous or the like may alternatively or additionally form the dynamic seal in another form.
Alternativ zu einer ringförmigen Dichtung kann bei Aufnahme des Wälzlagers an einer abschließenden Welle oder Achse die Dichtung einen das Wälzlager an einer Stirnseite vollständig abdichtenden Deckel bilden, so dass wie beispielsweise bei Radlagern neben dem Zwischenraum auch der komplette Innenring an einer Stirnseite des Wälzlagers vollständig abgedeckt ist. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite kann eine entsprechend ringförmig ausgebildete Dichtung vorgesehen sein. Es versteht sich, dass an durchgehenden Wellen oder Achsen an beiden Stirnseiten des Wälzlagers den Zwischenraum abdichtende ringförmige Dichtungen vorgesehen sein können. As an alternative to an annular seal, when the rolling bearing is received by a final shaft or axle, the seal can form a cover which completely seals off the rolling bearing at one end, so that the complete inner ring is completely covered at one end face of the rolling bearing, as in the case of wheel bearings, for example , On the opposite side, a correspondingly annular seal may be provided. It is understood that the interspace sealing annular seals can be provided on continuous shafts or axles on both end sides of the rolling bearing.
Desweiteren kann die vorgeschlagene als ringförmige Dichtung oder als Deckel ausgebildete Dichtung an dem drehenden Lagerring oder in bevorzugter Weise am stehenden Lagerring angeordnet sein.  Furthermore, the proposed designed as an annular seal or as a lid seal can be arranged on the rotating bearing ring or in a preferred manner on the stationary bearing ring.

Ausführliche Beschreibung der Figuren Detailed description of the figures
Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Teilschnitt des Wälzlagers 1 mit dem stehenden, als Außenring ausgebildeten Lagerring 2 und dem nur angedeuteten, als Innenring ausgebildeten Lagerring 3. Die Lagerringe 2, 3 sind zueinander koaxial um die Drehachse des drehenden Lagerrings 3 angeordnet. Zwischen den Lagerringen 2, 3 wälzen auf entsprechenden Laufbahnen Wälzkörper 4 ab. Zwischen den Lagerringen 2, 3 bildet sich der radiale Zwischenraum 5, der mit der Dichtung 6 abgedichtet ist. Die Dichtung 6 ist an dem Lagerring 2 drehfest und verliergesichert aufgenommen und dichtet gegenüber dem Lagerring 3 in nicht dargestellter Weise mittels eines Luftspalts oder einer dy- namischen Dichtung ab. Die Befestigung der bevorzugt aus Metall hergestellten Dichtung 6 an dem Lagerring 2 erfolgt durch Verschnappen oder Verrasten. Hierzu sind an dem Außenumfang der Dichtung 6 bevorzugt lückenlos über den Umfang verteilte Zähne 7 vorgesehen. Der Lagerring 2 weist an einem axial erweiterten und die Dichtung 6 radial übergreifenden Abschnitt 8 den radial erweiterten Hinterschnitt 9 auf. Axial in Richtung Wälzkörper und damit von der Stirnseite des Lagerrings 2 beabstandet weist der Lagerring die Anlagefläche 10 auf. Zur Montage der Dichtung 6 wird die Dichtung 6 gegen die Anlagefläche gedrückt. Dabei werden die elastisch ausgebildeten Zähne 7 an dem Innenbord 1 1 des Hinterschnitts 9 nach innen verspannt und schnappen bei Anlage der Dichtung 6 an der Anlagefläche 10 in den Hinterschnitt 9 und verkral- len sich mit diesem unter Vorspannung. Die Dichtung 6 ist damit axial formschlüssig und drehfest an dem Lagerring 2 aufgenommen. Aufgrund der elastischen Verspannung der einzelnen Zähne 7 mit dem Hinterschnitt ergibt sich ein Ausgleich von Fertigungstoleranzen, so dass an dem Lagerring 2 gegebenenfalls aufgrund der Steifigkeit der Dichtung 6 und toleranzbeding- ten Unrundheiten eine Deformation des Lagerrings vermieden wird. 1 shows a partial section of the rolling bearing 1 with the standing, designed as an outer ring bearing ring 2 and only indicated, designed as an inner ring bearing ring 3. The bearing rings 2, 3 are arranged coaxially to each other about the axis of rotation of the rotating bearing ring 3. Between the bearing rings 2, 3 roll on corresponding raceways rolling elements 4 from. Between the bearing rings 2, 3, the radial gap 5, which is sealed with the seal 6 is formed. The seal 6 is held against rotation on the bearing ring 2 and secured against loss, and seals against the bearing ring 3 in a manner not shown by means of an air gap or a dynamic seal. The fastening of the seal 6, preferably made of metal, to the bearing ring 2 takes place by snap-fastening or latching. For this purpose, teeth 7 which are preferably distributed over the circumference are preferably provided on the outer circumference of the seal 6. The bearing ring 2 has the radially enlarged undercut 9 on an axially enlarged and the seal 6 radially overlapping section 8. Axially in the direction of rolling elements and thus spaced from the end face of the bearing ring 2, the bearing ring on the contact surface 10. To mount the seal 6, the seal 6 is pressed against the contact surface. In this case, the elastically formed teeth 7 are clamped inwardly on the inboard 1 1 of the undercut 9 and snap when the seal 6 abuts against the contact surface 10 in the undercut 9 and become distorted with it. The seal 6 is thus axially positively and rotatably received on the bearing ring 2. Due to the elastic tension of the individual teeth 7 with the undercut results in a compensation of manufacturing tolerances, so that on the bearing ring 2, if necessary, due to the rigidity of the seal 6 and tolerance-based Unrundheiten deformation of the bearing ring is avoided.
Zur Erweiterung des Zwischenraums 5 ist die Dichtung 6 auf radialer Höhe des Zwischenraums 5 axial nach außen erweitert. Die Figur 2 zeigt einen Ausschnitt des Wälzlagers 1 der Figur 1 in SD- Ansicht mit dem Lagerring 2 mit der gefügten Dichtung 6 mit den im Hinterschnitt 9 verkrallten und den Innenbord 1 1 radial hintergreifenden Zähnen 7. Die Figur 3 zeigt das Wälzlager 1 der Figuren 1 und 2 in Teilansicht mit dem Lagerring 2 und der mittels der Zähne 7 radial elastisch ausgebildeten Ver- bindung zwischen der Dichtung 6 und dem Lagerring 2. To widen the gap 5, the seal 6 is extended radially outward at the radial height of the intermediate space 5. 2 shows a section of the rolling bearing 1 of Figure 1 in SD view with the bearing ring 2 with the joint seal 6 with the verkrallten in the undercut 9 and the inboard 1 1 radially behind engaging teeth 7.
