Problems solved by technology

However, this is very difficult, since the formed crimps on the bearing pin cannot be seen from the outside in the assembled state of the bearing pin and the tubular support part.
[0005] Since the material of the tubular carrier is usually steel and therefore requires a greater deformation force than the material of the bearing pin mounted thereon, usually made of aluminum, zinc or plastic, there is a risk when the bearing pin deforms during the crimping process. May not measure appreciable force increase
It is therefore difficult to achieve force-controlled crimping depending on the material properties, so that only pure stroke control can be used for the crimping process, which further increases the risk of introducing stress peaks into the bearing pin, especially at too great a crimping force

Embodiment Construction

[0036] figure 1 A tubular carrier 1 for a windshield wiper system of a motor vehicle, not shown in detail, is shown in a schematic cross-sectional illustration.

[0037] Arranged on the tubular support part 1 is a crimping tool which comprises four crimping punches 2 . The crimping punch 2 is arranged such that the springback is adapted to the deformation of the circular cross-section of the tubular support part 1 caused by crimping, ie the springback δ and the deformation are minimized.

[0038] The tubular support part 1 has a circular cross-section in its initial shape, which has an inner contour 3 which, by exerting a force F on the crimping punch 2 压皱 deform locally, thus making it appear after the creasing process as figure 2 the shape shown. according to the existing technology figure 1 and 2 A bearing pin is accommodated in a tubular carrier part 1 whose cross section is substantially circular and whose outer contour essentially follows the inner contour 3 of the...

Abstract

The invention relates to a windscreen wiper apparatus for a motor vehicle, having a wiper motor and having at least one wiper bearing in which a wiper shaft is mounted, it being possible to drive said wiper shaft by means of the wiper motor in order to operate a wiper arm which is connected to the wiper shaft, wherein the wiper bearing has a bearing pin (4) for holding a tubular support (1), it being possible for said bearing pin to be fixed to the tubular support (1) by means of a crimp, characterized in that the bearing pin (4) has an outer contour (5) which is already formed, at least in a region of overlap with the crimp, so as to correspond to an inner contour (3) of the crimped tubular support (1), before the crimp is introduced, and also to a method for producing said windscreen wiper apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a windshield wiper device for a motor vehicle, having a wiper motor and at least one wiper bearing, in which a wiper shaft is mounted, which can be used for actuating a wiper arm connected to the wiper shaft by means of the A wiper motor drive, wherein the wiper bearing has a bearing pin for receiving a tubular carrier, the bearing pin being fastened to the tubular carrier by crimping. The invention also relates to a method for producing a windshield wiper device. Background technique [0002] Such windshield wiper devices are generally known. During the crimping process, the parts to be fastened to one another are subjected to very high deformation forces in order to produce a positive connection between the bearing pin and the tubular support part. In addition to the tubular support part, the material area of ​​the bearing pin is also plastically deformed in order to achieve a corresponding positive connection between the tu...
