Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a planetary gear transmission and / or a transmission for an actuator. The invention also relates to a planetary gear, an actuator, the use of a gear element designed as a stamped part, and a method for producing an actuator. Background Art

[0002] EP 1855927B1 discloses a multi-stage planetary gear transmission for an actuator. The gear components of the planetary gear transmission disclosed herein are preferably made of fiber-reinforced plastic and / or sintered metal. In particular, the planetary gear on the last planet carrier is made of sintered metal because it reaches the highest torque. The disadvantage of gear elements made of sintered metal is that, although they can transmit higher torques than gear elements made of plastic, they tend to have spontaneous fracture behavior. Therefore, in the case of gear elements made of sintered metal, the material thickness is usually increased, thereby increasing the space requirement and the weight of the actuator. In addition, gear elements made of sintered metal also have the disadvantage that they usually have to be post-processed in a costly and / or energy-intensive manner. In this way, gear elements made of sintered metal are energy-intensive, expensive and time-consuming. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages known from the prior art.

[0004] The above-mentioned inventive objects can be achieved by a gear component, a planetary gear transmission, an actuator, applications thereof and a method for manufacturing an actuator having the technical features of the independent claims.

[0005] The invention proposes a planetary gear and / or gear component (gear component) for an actuator having at least one gear element. The actuator can be used, for example, as a vehicle component. For example, the actuator can be used for an electric parking brake or a parking brake. The gear element is, for example, a ring gear, a planetary gear, a sun gear, a spur gear and / or a planet carrier. By means of the transmission, the rotational movement of the electric machine can be transmitted and / or transmitted to the planetary gear mechanism. The planetary gear mechanism ensures the further transmission of the rotational movement so that vehicle components, in particular the electric parking brake, can be adjusted.

[0006] According to the invention, at least one gear element is formed as a stamped part. In this case, the at least one gear element is stamped out of a metal sheet by means of a press, in particular by means of a three-dimensionally acting press. Since the at least one gear element is stamped out of a metal sheet, it has the material properties of the metal sheet, in particular uniform material properties. Stamped gear elements therefore have the advantage that they are as cheap as possible to manufacture and / or have a high weight reduction potential. Stamped gear elements with a low weight and / or a small space requirement are therefore very suitable for transmitting high torques.

[0007] Preferably, the gear element is formed as a fine stamped part, a fine cut part and / or a precision punched part. Fine blanking or fine cutting is a chipless separation method that allows the production of high-precision workpieces, in the present invention, gear elements. Additionally or alternatively, the gear element can be deformed at the same time. In contrast to "normal" stamping, during stamping and / or forming, at least one gear element is fixed to the cross-sectional profile, in particular at least one outer contour and / or inner contour, preferably with the aid of a ring tooth (Ringzacke) during fine stamping, fine cutting and / or fine stamping.

Additionally or alternatively, at least one fine stamped, fine cut and / or fine stamped gear element has a high cylindrical cutting portion along the thickness of the metal sheet.

[0048] In the following description of the figures, the same reference numerals are used for identical and / or at least comparable technical features in the various figures. Individual technical features, their design and / or mode of operation are generally only explained in detail the first time they are mentioned. If individual technical features are not explained in further detail, their design and / or mode of operation correspond to the design and mode of operation of the already described technical features with the same effect or the same name.

[0049] Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of an actuator 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the actuator 1 comprises a planetary gear 2, which is formed, for example, as a multi-stage, in particular a two-stage planetary gear 2. The planetary gear 2 is driven or rotated by an electric motor. The rotational movement of the electric motor 22 is transmitted and / or transferred to the planetary gear 2 by means of at least one spur gear 7 configured as a gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the actuator 1 has a transmission 25 formed by a plurality of spur gears 7.

[0050] The actuator 1 has a plurality of gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, wherein at least one of the gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, in particular several of the gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, comprises teeth 13. By means of the teeth 13, the plurality of gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 mesh with one another. For the sake of clarity, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the reference numerals for the teeth 13 are only used for the spur gear 7 on the output shaft of the motor 22. Figure 1 As shown, other elements of the gear elements 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 may also have teeth 13 .

[0051] In the exemplary embodiment shown, a plurality of gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are shown. Thus, at least one ring gear (gear ring) 3, at least one planet carrier 4, at least one planet gear 5, at least one sun gear 6 and / or at least one spur gear 7 are shown as gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Thus, Figure 1 The exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2 shows several spur gears 7 forming a transmission 25. Figure 1 In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a planetary gear transmission 2 is shown. The planetary gear transmission 2 includes at least one of the spur gears 7, at least one ring gear 3, at least one planet carrier 4, at least one planet gear 5 and / or at least one sun gear 6. Since the planetary gear transmission 2 is formed as a multi-stage, in particular a two-stage planetary gear transmission 2, it includes at least two planet carriers 4, at least two planet gears 5 and at least two sun gears 6. In addition, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the planetary gear transmission 2 includes two ring gears 3.

[0052] At least one of the gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 is formed as a stamped part, in particular a fine stamped part, a fine cut part and / or a precision stamped part. The gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 formed as stamped parts are stamped from a metal sheet. Stamping is usually done by fine stamping, fine cutting and / or precision stamping. For example, a three-dimensional action press is used to achieve this purpose. As a result, a gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 that is as precise and / or torque-resistant as possible can be obtained.

[0053] Furthermore, the gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 formed as stamped parts can be deformed after stamping. In particular, by forming, at least one bearing portion 16 and / or at least one bearing portion 17 can be formed and / or shaped on at least one gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. In the exemplary embodiment shown, at least one ring gear 3 comprises at least one contact portion 16. By means of at least one contact portion 16, the two ring gears 3 shown can be connected to each other. In this case, two ring gears 3 one after another form gear parts 8, 9, 10 configured as a ring gear unit 8.

[0054] By means of at least one bearing pin 19, the two ring gears 3 can be connected to each other and / or fixed relative to each other. In this case, the at least one bearing pin 19 is accommodated in at least one receiving cavity 20 of the at least one ring gear 3. In order to connect the two ring gears 3 by means of at least one bearing pin 19, both ring gears 3 have a receiving cavity 20. The receiving cavity 20 can include, for example, at least one receiving opening. At least one bearing pin 19 can simultaneously support at least one of the spur gears 7 of the transmission 25.

[0055] Additionally or alternatively, a fixing element 23 for the electric motor 22 can be received by means of at least one bearing pin 19. By means of the fixing element 23, the electric motor 22 is fixed to the transmission 25 and / or the planetary gear 2. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the actuator 1 has a plurality of bearing pins 19, the fixing element 23 being mounted without play on at least one of the bearing pins 19 and / or with play on another of the bearing pins 19. As a result, the distance between the individual spur gears 7 can be kept constant. In this way, the wear on the spur gears 7 can be reduced.

[0056] Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the at least one planet carrier 4 comprises at least one bearing section 17. By means of the at least one bearing section 17, at least one planet gear 5, preferably several, for example three or five planet gears 5, can be received and / or rotatably mounted by the at least one planet carrier 4. The at least one planet carrier 4 together with the at least one planet gear 5 forms a gear element 8, 9, 10 configured as a planetary unit 9.

[0057] Additionally or alternatively, the transmission 25 and / or the planetary gear 2 has at least one gear element 8, 9, 10 configured as a double gear 10. The at least one double gear 10 includes at least one of the spur gears 7 and / or at least one of the sun gears 6. In this case, the at least one spur gear 7 and / or the at least one sun gear 6 abut against each other and are connected to each other. Thus, by means of the double gear 10, the transmission of the rotational movement from one gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 to the gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 adjacent thereto can be ensured.

[0058] In the exemplary embodiment shown, the ring gear 3 and / or the ring gear unit 8 of the planetary gear 2 are accommodated in a housing 26 of the actuator 1 in a non-movable manner. To this end, the ring gear 3 and / or the ring gear unit 8 comprise at least one fixed portion 14. The fixed portion 14 is designed to correspond to the support portion 24 of the housing 26 so that they abut one another in the intended use of the planetary gear 2 and / or the actuating drive 1. If a rotational movement is generated by means of the electric motor 22, at least one spur gear 7, at least one sun gear 6 and / or at least one planetary unit 9 rotate about the axis of rotation 18 of the planetary gear 2. Furthermore, the planet wheels 5 rotate about the respective planet axes 21. Since the bearing portion 17 has only a limited height, the axial diameter of the bearing portion 17 and / or the axial distances of the planet axes 21 from the axis of rotation 18 of different planet carriers 4 can be identical or equal, e.g. Figure 1 As shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] As described above, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the planetary gear transmission 2 is formed as a multi-stage, in particular a two-stage planetary gear transmission 2. Therefore, the planetary gear transmission 2 includes at least two planetary units 9, at least two ring gears 3 and / or at least one ring gear unit 8. In the intended use of the actuator 1, the teeth 13 of the two planetary wheels 5 spaced apart from each other along the rotation axis 18 mesh with the teeth 13 of the corresponding ring gear 3 and / or the ring gear unit 8. Since the teeth 13 of the ring gear 3 and / or the ring gear unit 8 are spaced apart from each other, or the distance between the teeth 13 is formed as a cavity, a weight reduction of the planetary gear transmission 2 can be achieved.

[0060] Figure 2 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a ring gear unit 8 according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1In the exemplary embodiment of the ring gear unit 8, the ring gear unit 8 is composed of two ring gears 3. In the present invention, each ring gear 3 can be regarded as a gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and / or the ring gear unit 8 can be regarded as a gear part 8, 9, 10. Therefore, the gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 configured as the ring gear 3 are configured as stamped parts, in particular fine stamped parts, fine cut parts and / or precision stamped parts. Figure 1 The other gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and / or gear parts 8, 9, 10 shown are similarly used for the following description of Figure 2 and Figure 3 The design and / or manufacture of the exemplary embodiments shown.

[0061] In stamping, in particular fine stamping, fine cutting and / or precision stamping, the gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are made from sheet metal. Thus, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 comprise at least one ring gear 3, which has a substantially constant wall thickness. During the stamping process, the sheet metal is formed along the Figure 1 The axis of rotation 18 of the planetary gear 2 shown is stamped and / or deformed, which can also be referred to as the stamped axis. By stamping, at least one gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 receives at least one stamped outer contour 11 and / or at least one stamped inner contour 12. In the exemplary embodiment shown of the ring gear 3 configured as a gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, in particular toothed and / or cam-like fixing parts 14 are arranged on the outer contour 11, and teeth 13 are arranged on the inner contour 12.

[0062] The gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 can be deformed after and / or after stamping, in particular during fine stamping, fine cutting and / or fine stamping. Thus, the gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, in particular the base body 15 of the ring gear 3, can be formed. Due to the deformation, at least one contact portion 16 and / or at least one bearing portion 17 is spaced apart from the base body 15 along the rotation axis 18 and / or protrudes from the base body 15. If the two contact portions 16 of at least two gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 formed as a ring gear 3 abut against each other, the corresponding base bodies 15, in particular the teeth 13 and / or the fixing portions 14 arranged thereon at least partially, can be spaced apart from each other along the rotation axis 18.

[0063] because Figure 1The planetary gears 5 of the planetary gear 2 shown in the exemplary embodiment of are also spaced apart from one another along the axis of rotation 18, so the teeth 13 of the ring gear unit 8 and / or of the two ring gears 3 can also be spaced apart from one another. Due to this spacing, unnecessary material can be saved, as a result of which the resulting actuator has a lower weight. In addition, due to the more uniform material behavior of the metal sheet, the metal sheet thickness can be significantly reduced compared to the sintered metal gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of the prior art. In addition or as an alternative to the lower weight, this can also lead to a reduced space requirement for at least one gear component 8, 9, 10.

[0064] Figure 3 A schematic perspective view of a planetary unit 9 according to an exemplary embodiment is shown. In this case, Figure 3 The planetary unit 9 is similar to Figure 1 The planetary unit 9 in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 4 . The planetary unit 9 therefore comprises a planet carrier 4 and at least one planet wheel 5. As an example, the gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 configured as a planet carrier 4 comprises five bearing parts 17 for five planet wheels 5. It is also conceivable that the planet carrier 4 comprises more or less bearing parts 17, for example only three bearing parts 17. For the sake of clarity, only one planet wheel 5 is received by the planet carrier 4 or is arranged by means of at least one bearing part 17.

[0065] Figure 3 The planet carrier 4 and / or the planet wheel 5 shown in the exemplary embodiment of are also formed as stamped gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, i.e. stamped parts. Thus, at least one inner contour 12 and / or at least one outer contour 11 are stamped out and / or the gear elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, in particular the planet carrier 4, are formed. Thus, the gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 configured as the planet carrier 4 comprises at least one bearing portion 17, which is adjacent to the base body 15 and / or at least partially protrudes from the base body 15. At the inner contour 12, the gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 configured as the planet carrier 4 comprises teeth 13. The gear element 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 configured as the planet wheel 5 comprises teeth 13 at its outer contour 11.

[0066] If according to Figure 1 The actuator 1 is used according to Figure 2 If the planetary unit 9 and the ring gear unit 8 or the ring gear 3 are provided, the teeth 13 of at least one planetary gear 5 mesh with the teeth 13 of at least one ring gear 3 of the ring gear unit 8 .

[0067] As mentioned above, according to Figure 1 Additional and / or alternative gear elements 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 and / or gear components 8 , 9 , 10 of the actuator 1 , in particular the transmission 25 and / or the planetary gear 2 , can also be produced as stamped parts.
