Description

Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a torque transmission device according to the preamble of claim 1. Background Art

[0002] In the drive train of a motor vehicle, the task of a torque transmission device is to transmit the torque generated by a drive machine as low-vibration as possible from an input part to a driven flange that is effectively connected to a transmission. A torque transmission device with such a driven flange is known from DE 20 2017 124 924 A1. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a torque transmission device that can be manufactured and installed simply and cost-effectively.

[0004] This object is achieved by the subject matter of the claims herein.

[0005] According to the present invention, an insert provided with an internal tooth part is placed in a sleeve, wherein the driven flange is associated with a second coupling element in a form-fitting manner and transmits a driving torque. The tooth part is preferably introduced into the insert by a forming process. The insert is advantageously also used, for example, to keep the wall thickness of a housing small and advantageously influences its forming properties, quality, and material distribution. Furthermore, on the insert, a form-fitting connection between the sleeve and the coupling element for transmitting a high torque can be advantageously prepared and designed by a larger wall thickness and the teeth of the tooth part. The insert is selectively held in the sleeve by a press fit, a form-fitting connection, and by a material connection part or by a combination of each of the measures. The form-fitting connection between the sleeve and the coupling element is preferably formed by a tooth part, for example, by a wedge tooth part or a spline. The sleeve and the insert and their tooth parts are preferably manufactured by forming or cold forming. The second coupling element has an external tooth part, wherein the internal tooth part is effectively connected to the second coupling element via the external tooth part.

[0006] A design of the present invention is that the driven flange has a disk body including an inner cylindrical front extension. The front extension is preferably inserted axially during the cold forming of the sleeve and forms the sleeve, which extends from the root of the disk body of a unit composed of a housing section and the driven flange. When the driven flange is installed on the torque transmission device, the front extension / sleeve enters the torque transmission device inward in the direction of the input flange on the primary side, so that axial structural space can be saved. Alternatively, the front extension can also extend in the opposite axial direction, i.e., in the direction of the transmission. The front extension for receiving the insert can be advantageously introduced during the cold forming of the driven flange.

[0007] According to a design solution of the present invention, the housing and the driven flange are integrally formed as a single piece with the same material. The advantage of the present invention is that the welded connection known from the prior art is eliminated. Thereby, the housing can be manufactured energy-efficiently and inaccuracies caused by thermal deformation due to heat input can be avoided. This solution also no longer requires axial structural space for the welded connection and a riveted connection can be used. A further improvement of the design solution of the present invention is that the housing has a housing section fixed to the cover, and the housing section is preferably formed by shaping a steel plate. The housing section and the driven flange are integrally formed as a single piece with the same material to save material and manufacturing costs. "Integrally formed with the same material" means that the component is a single piece without separation parts and joint parts. The material structure, preferably a steel plate, is not interrupted at the transition of the component.

[0008] According to another design solution of the present invention, the unit formed by the driven flange and the housing section is formed in the shape of an annular disk with at least one step, wherein the output part is centered radially relative to the input part by means of the step of the housing section with respect to a component axially extending from the input flange. Since the components of the output part have the maximum mass of the torque transmission device, the torque transmission device can be better centered at this time. The output part is preferably connected to at least one component that is connected to the first coupling element and axially extends from the input flange, so that the axial distance between the input part and the output part is at least partially bridged by the axially extending component. Through one or more steps, the housing section is axially inserted from the spring chamber in the direction of the primary side (towards the input flange) along the axis, so that the axial distance therebetween is reduced and centering becomes simple, the structural space is reduced and the sealing of the spring chamber to the radial interior is simplified. A good basis for centering is obtained by the fact that the components of the output part are connected to at least one component that is connected to the first coupling element and axially extends from the input flange. This component is preferably configured as an annular component and is a plate-shaped formed part, on which a shape matching the current structural space requirements can be advantageously realized. In addition, this component can be designed as a compensating disk, and the radial and axial distances relative to the secondary components can be compensated by means of the compensating disk.

[0009] One design of the present invention lies in the overload clutch between the housing and the driven flange. The technical term for the overload clutch is also called a torque limiter. The torque limiter involved is a friction clutch, in which different friction pairs are pressed against each other in a force-friction fit connection until a defined starting torque is reached. By means of the torque limiter, damage caused by high and sudden torque peaks in the overload clutch and in the drive train is prevented. The torque limiter works according to the principle of a slip clutch, in which after the starting torque is reached, the input part and the output part of the overload clutch are disengaged from each other in the force-friction fit connection and, by means of friction control, move relative to each other in a swinging or rotational motion about the axis of rotation. The input part of the overload clutch according to the invention is formed by the housing of the torsional vibration damper or by a section of the housing, wherein the housing is a component of the secondary side of the torque transmission device. The output part of the overload clutch is the driven flange.

[0010] The technical term for the input part of the torque transmission device is usually also called the primary side and the output part of the torque transmission device is called the secondary side. The input part functionally corresponds to the drive part and is effectively connected thereto, and the output part functionally corresponds to the driven part and is effectively connected thereto. The drive part is constituted by a drive machine or has a drive machine. The driven part can have a clutch and a transmission or other transmission elements and is ultimately assigned to the driven wheels. During normal driving operation of the vehicle, a drive torque generated by the drive machine is applied on the primary side, i.e., the input part is connected to the drive side. The secondary side is the driven side of the torque transmission device and has transmission elements, via which the torque is conducted from the torque transmission device to the transmission elements on the driven side. The input side faces the input part or the drive part. The output side faces the output part or the driven part.

[0011] "Functionally" means that the components or members are effectively connected to each other via effective connection parts. The effective connection parts are provided, for example, by members, structural elements or components connected to one of the members and / or structural elements. The effective connection parts are provided, for example, via bolted connections, spring devices or overload clutches, flanges or elements that engage with each other form-fittingly or force-transmittingly.

[0012] The torsional vibration damper is mainly formed by the input flange, the spring device and the part of the housing connected to the driven flange. The spring device is functionally arranged between the input part and the output part, i.e., between the input flange and the housing, such that the spring device forms an effective connection for attenuating vibrations between the input part and the output part. Here, the input flange and the housing are supported on the spring device in a torsionally restricted manner relative to each other about the axis of rotation of the torque transmission device by means of the flange wings and the support structure for the springs of the spring device against the spring action / spring force of the spring device.

[0013] The spring device preferably consists of a plurality of springs or spring groups arranged around a rotational axis, and the springs or spring groups are preferably embodied as cylindrical tension springs, arc-shaped tension springs, or inserted helical springs. The springs of the spring group are preferably inserted concentrically into one another. The spring chamber is encapsulated by an annular molding on the housing and / or on the cover of the housing and is selectively sealed radially inwardly in the direction of the rotational axis by one or more seals or friction linings. This design is particularly suitable when the spring chamber is filled with grease. Preferably, a plurality of springs are arranged distributed on the circumference around the rotational axis in the housing. The flange wings of the input flange abut against one end of the spring. The spring is supported at the other end on a suitable support structure, preferably formed into the housing. In addition, the spring can also be guided by a sliding housing made of plastic or sheet metal.

[0014] Here, the input part consists of a component or an assembly. According to the invention, the input part is assigned to the primary side and has, for example, an input flange as a single part or a pulse sensor fixed to the input flange with an input flange and a sensing mechanism as an assembly. The input part is functionally connected to the first coupling element on the drive side. The coupling element is, for example, a screw, a flat plate, or a flywheel of an internal combustion engine.

[0015] The output part is configured as an assembly. According to the invention, the output part is here formed by a housing including a cover and a spring chamber as an assembly, and alternatively can also include other components and structural elements. According to the invention, the output part also includes a driven flange and an overload clutch.

[0016] According to the subject matter of the invention, the overload clutch forms an effective connection between the torsional vibration damper and the driven flange, i.e., between the housings or between the housing sections of the housing. The driven flange is preferably connected in a form-fitting manner via a sleeve to a coupling pin, for example, embodied as a transmission shaft pin or a member with a different embodiment, a coupling element of the subsequent drive train.

[0017] Radially, a rotational axis axially extended perpendicular to an arbitrary radial plane, i.e., perpendicular to the rotational axis of the torque transmission device, is vertically penetrated. The rotational axis extends axially at any number of axial planes intersecting at the rotational axis. During driving operation, the torque transmission device rotates around the rotational axis and the input part and the output part oscillate relative to one another to attenuate vibrations.

[0018] Unlike the known standard design of torque transmission devices or torsional vibration dampers of the prior art, in which the mass of the housing and the spring are distributed to the primary side, i.e. fixed there, and a flange with flange wings is distributed to the secondary side and operatively connected to the output flange, in the torque transmission device or torsional vibration damper according to the invention the flange is distributed to the primary side and the housing is located in the secondary section. Thus, the flange that previously interacted with the spring device and was arranged in the secondary section of the damper is now the input flange and is connected to the output, for example to the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine or to an electric motor, etc. As a result, the spring device that bears the mass of the housing and the function of the torsional vibration damper is no longer connected to the primary side, but is accommodated in the secondary section.

[0019] The overload clutch is formed by at least two axial supports, at least one friction lining, at least one preload element and at least one friction surface. The axial supports are configured in the shape of an annular disk and are configured to be curved in the cross-sectional configuration. The axial supports are axially opposite to each other at the annular gap. At least one of the axial supports is fixed to the driven flange. Alternatively, two axial supports are fixed to the driven flange. Alternatively, one of the axial supports is configured in one piece with the same material as the driven flange.

[0020] The housing section, which is a component of the overload clutch and is constructed in the form of a disk, has at least one friction surface, preferably two friction surfaces. The two friction surfaces are axially separated from each other. The friction surface is provided for friction contact with another friction pair, for example, for contact with a friction lining. The friction lining is a lining made of paper, a fabric, a metal material or a plastic, or a combination of the aforementioned materials, or is mechanically or chemically applied. The friction lining is constructed, fixed or applied to the friction lining carrier in a form-fitting or materially connected manner or is constructed, fixed or applied to the friction disc as in the design of the present invention. The friction lining composed of paper is preferably used in dry applications, that is, in applications that are not lubricated with grease or with an oil bath.

[0021] A friction lining or a plurality of friction linings, a friction surface and a preload element are arranged concentrically relative to one another and to the axis of rotation in an annular gap between the axial supports in the axial direction and are preloaded relative to one another in the axial direction. Each friction lining is held on one of the axial supports or the preload element of the overload clutch in a friction connection, a force fit connection, a material fit connection or a form fit connection relative to the driven flange. The friction lining is preloaded axially relative to the friction surface of the housing section.

[0022] One embodiment of the invention provides that the axial support and the output flange are connected to one another by means of at least one riveted connection, preferably by means of a plurality of riveted connections distributed around the circumference of the axis of rotation. The riveted connections can be produced simply and cost-effectively.

[0023] Another design of the present invention lies in that the axial supports directly abut against each other in the surface section where they are connected to the driven flange. Here, one of the axial supports abuts against one side of the driven flange at the rear, preferably on the side facing the input flange. An annular gap is formed between the axial supports in the region of the coupling fixing part, so that other components of the overload clutch are installed therein. By this measure, the axial structural space can be kept very small. Alternatively, it is arranged that one of the axial supports is formed by an annular section that is integrally formed with the driven flange. By this measure, the number of individual components of the overload protection part is reduced.

[0024] One design of the present invention lies in the overload clutch of the torque transmission device, wherein the preloading element is formed by one or more axially acting compression springs, preferably by disc springs, and is preferably supported on one of the axial supports.
