Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Feinbearbeitung der Hubzapfen von Kurbelwellen der durch den Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Gattung.The invention relates to a device for fine machining of the crank pin of crankshafts of the type specified by the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer vorbenutzten Vorrichtung dieser Art werden Werkzeuge verwendet, die ein als Halbschale formstabil ausgebildetes und mit dem jeweils zugeordneten Stellzylinder drehbeweglich verbundenes Lagerteil umfassen, an welchem mehrere in Umfangsrichtung der Schalenoberfläche voneinander beabstandete Stütz- und Führungsschuhe bevorzugt aus Kunststoff für ein Honband angeordnet sind. Mit dem Honband wird eine Feinbearbeitung des jeweils zugeordneten Hubzapfens eines Werkstückes zur Erhöhung des Traganteils für das jeweilige Kurbelwellenlager sowie auch für eine Abrundung der Kanten von in vorbearbeiteten Hubzapfen bereits ausgebildeten Schmierölbohrungen vorgenommen. Für diese vorbenutzte Vorrichtung ist dabei auch die alternative Verwendung von Werkzeugen bekannt, bei denen anstelle des Arbeitens mit einem Honband die Feinbearbeitung der Hubzapfen mit einem oder mit mehreren Honsteinen vorgenommen wird, die dabei ähnlich wie bei der Vorrichtung gemäß der DE-PS 30 08 606 eine ebenfalls durch besondere Stütz- und Führungsschuhe an dem jeweils zugeordneten Hubzapfen angedrückte Anordnung an entsprechend halbschalenförmig ausgebildeten Lagerteilen aufweisen.In the case of a previously used device of this type, tools are used which comprise a bearing part which is designed to be dimensionally stable as a half-shell and which is connected to the respectively associated actuating cylinder in a rotationally movable manner and on which a plurality of support and guide shoes spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the shell surface are preferably arranged made of plastic for a honing band. The honing band is used to fine-tune the respectively assigned crank pin of a workpiece in order to increase the load-bearing component for the respective crankshaft bearing and also to round off the edges of lubricating oil holes already formed in pre-machined crank pins. For this previously used device, the alternative use of tools is also known, in which instead of working with a honing band, the fine machining of the crank pins is carried out with one or more honing stones, which is similar to the device according to DE-PS 30 08 606 have an arrangement on correspondingly half-shell-shaped bearing parts, also pressed by special support and guide shoes on the respectively assigned crank pin.

Aus der DE-OS 34 40 350 ist daneben noch die Verwendung von Stütz- und Führungsschuhen bekannt, die an in bezug auf die Hubzapfen eines jeweiligen Werkzeuges zangenartig angeordneten Führungsarmen für Honsteine federelastisch abgestützt sind. Die Honsteine werden gegen den jeweiligen Hubzapfen durch Stellzylinder angedrückt , die zusätzlich zu einem die Führungsarme in bezug auf das Werkstück zangenartig schließenden Arbeitszylinder vorgesehen sind.From DE-OS 34 40 350 the use of support and guide shoes is also known, which are supported on spring-loaded guide arms for honing stones in relation to the crank pin of a respective tool. The honing stones are pressed against the respective crank pin by actuating cylinders which are provided in addition to a working cylinder which closes the guide arms with respect to the workpiece in the manner of pliers.

Aus der US-A-2 270 552, insbesondere Figur 5 ist die elastische Abstützung eines Werkzeuges zu entnehmen, das von einer festen Halbschale gebildet wird.From US-A-2 270 552, in particular Figure 5, the elastic support of a tool can be seen, which is formed by a fixed half-shell.

Mit der durch die Patentansprüche gekennzeichneten Erfindung wird die Aufgabe gelöst, eine Vorrichtung der angegebenen Gattung derart auszubilden, daß damit eine weitere Erhöhung des Traganteils für die einzelnen Kurbelwellenlager erhalten wird und somit die bei der bisherigen Feinbearbeitung im mikroskopischen Bereich noch feststellbaren Unrundheiten möglichst weitgehend beseitigt werden.With the invention characterized by the claims, the object is achieved to design a device of the type specified in such a way that a further increase in the load share for the individual crankshaft bearings is obtained and thus the out-of-roundness that can still be determined in the previous fine machining in the microscopic range is eliminated as far as possible .

Die mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung erzielbaren Vorteile sind vorrangig in deren einfacher Eingliederungsmöglichkeit in den bisherigen Bearbeitungsprozeß von Kurbelwellen als eine der bisherigen Endstufe entweder vorgeschaltete oder nachgeschaltete Bearbeitungsstufe erkennbar. Weil die Werkzeuge als Folge der federelastischen Ausbildung oder Abstützung ihres Lagerteils eine in bezug auf den zugeordneten Hubzapfen der Werkstücke "atmende" Anordnung aufweisen, wird dadurch die mit den Führungsarmen übersetzte Führung der Werkzeuge durch die beiden Meisterwellen der Vorrichtung für eine damit optimal formgetreue Bearbeitung genutzt, womit durch diese Vorrichtung sämtliche Bearbeitungsfehler entsprechend optimal beseitigt werden können, die nach der Endstufe der bisherigen Feinbearbeitung für den mikroskopischen Bereich der Oberflächengüte noch festgestellt werden mußten.The advantages that can be achieved with the device according to the invention are primarily recognizable in its simple possibility of incorporation into the previous machining process of crankshafts as one of the previous output stage either upstream or downstream of the processing stage. Because the tools as a result of the resilient design or support of their bearing part have a "breathing" arrangement with respect to the associated crank pin of the workpieces, the guide of the tools, translated with the guide arms, is used by the two master shafts of the device for an optimally true-to-shape machining , with which all processing errors can be optimally eliminated by this device, which still had to be determined after the final stage of the previous fine processing for the microscopic area of surface quality.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist in der Zeichnung mit einer Schnittansicht nur eines Teils eines Führungsarmes für ein Werkzeug der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung dargestellt.An embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown in the drawing with a sectional view of only part of a guide arm for a tool of the design according to the invention.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Feinbarbeitung der Hubzapfen von Kurbelwellen mittels nicht umlaufender Werkzeuge ist gemäß einer vorbenutzten Ausführungsform mit zwei Meisterwellen gebildet, die zu dem zu bearbeitenden Werkstück achsparallel angeordnet sind und einen mit dem Werkstück synchronen Antrieb erfahren.Durch die Meisterwellen wird eine mit den Hubzapfen der Werkstücke übereinstimmende Vielzahl von Werkzeugen kopiergeführt, wobei die Führung der Werkzeuge mit Führungsarmen übersetzt wird, die auch Träger von druckmittelbeaufschlagten Stellzylindern sind, mit denen das jeweils zugeordnete Werkzeug eine in bezug auf den zugeordneten Hubzapfen radial verstellbare Lagerung erfährt. Eine Feinbearbeitung der Hubzapfen wird herkömmlich entweder mit Honsteinen oder mit Honbändern durchgeführt, die somit bei der Bearbeitung durch die Stellzylinder gegen die Hubzapfen angedrückt werden.A device for fine machining the crank pins of crankshafts by means of non-rotating tools is formed according to a previously used embodiment with two master shafts, which are arranged axially parallel to the workpiece to be machined and one synchronized with the workpiece The master shafts copy a number of tools that match the crank pins of the workpieces, whereby the tool guide is translated using guide arms, which are also carriers of actuating cylinders pressurized with pressure medium, with which the respectively assigned tool is one with respect to the assigned crank pin experienced radially adjustable storage. Finishing of the crank pins is conventionally carried out either with honing stones or with honing bands, which are thus pressed against the crank pins during processing by the actuating cylinders.

Die Zeichnung zeigt einen Querschnitt durch einen Hubzapfen 1 einer Kurbelwelle, die als zu bearbeitendes Werkstück gemäß dem eingezeichneten Pfeil 2 im Uhrzeigergegensinn synchron zu den beiden Meisterwellen (nicht dargestellt) der Vorrichtung angetrieben sein soll. Mit den beiden Meisterwellen ist ein kopiergeführter Führungsarm 3 verbunden, an welchem ein druckmittelbeaufschlagter Stellzylinder 4 angeordnet ist, mit dem ein zur Feinbearbeitung des Hubzapfens 1 vorgesehenes Werkzeug 5 in radialer Richtung gegen die Oberfläche des Hubzapfens angedrückt werden kann. Die Druckmittelversorgung des Stellzylinders 4 wird über ein an den Führungsarm 3 angeflanschtes Funktionsteil 6 einer hydraulischen oder pneumatischen Steuervorrichtung vermittelt, deren Ausbildung nur insoweit interessiert, als damit durch eine Zuleitung des Druckmittels in einen Füllraum 7 des Funktionsteils 6 eine in Richtung des Pfeils 8 wirkende Stellkraft für den Stellzylinder 4 bereitgestellt wird. Diese in Richtung des Pfeils 8 wirkende Stellkraft wird also auf das Werkzeug 5 übersetzt, das somit eine mit dem Führungsarm 3 durch die beiden Meisterwellen kopiergeführte einseitige Anlage an dem Hubzapfen 1 erfährt.The drawing shows a cross section through a crank pin 1 of a crankshaft which is to be driven as a workpiece to be machined in accordance with the arrow 2 drawn in a clockwise direction in synchronism with the two master shafts (not shown) of the device. A copy-guided guide arm 3 is connected to the two master shafts, on which an actuating cylinder 4 pressurized with pressure medium is arranged, with which a tool 5 provided for fine machining of the crank pin 1 can be pressed in the radial direction against the surface of the crank pin. The pressure medium supply to the actuating cylinder 4 is conveyed via a functional part 6, flanged to the guide arm 3, of a hydraulic or pneumatic control device, the design of which is of interest only to the extent that an actuating force acting in the direction of arrow 8 is provided by supplying the pressure medium to a filling chamber 7 of the functional part 6 is provided for the actuating cylinder 4. This actuating force acting in the direction of the arrow 8 is thus translated to the tool 5, which thus experiences one-sided contact with the guide arm 3 by the two master shafts on the crank pin 1.

Das Werkzeug 5 ist mit einer in bezug auf die Stellkraft des Stellzylinders 4 federelastisch ausgebildeten Halbschale 9 und einem damit einstückig verbundenen Grundkörper 10 aus Federstahl gebildet. Die federelastische Ausbildung der Halbschale 9 wird durch einzelne Ringspalte 11 erhalten, die mit einer sich in Umfangsrichtung wechselseitig überlappenden Ausbildung konzentrisch zu der mit dem Hubzapfen 1 praktisch zusammenfallenden Achse 12 der Halbschale 9 verlaufen. Durch die Ringspalte 11 wird der im übrigen massiv ausgebildete Grundkörper 10 in eine entsprechende Vielzahl von untereinander federelastisch verbundene Segmente 13 unterteilt, die somit bei den drei verschiedenen Radialabständen zur Achse der Halbschale, die in der Zeichnung für die einzelnen Ringspalte 11 gezeigt sind, ein in radialer Richtung wirksames, federelastisches Verhalten für das Werkzeug 5 ergeben. Das Werkzeug 5 ist mittels Schrauben 14 mit einem Werkzeughalter 15 verschraubt, der mittels eines Stiftes 16 mit dem Stellzylinder 4 drehbeweglich verbunden ist. Mit dem Werkzeughalter wirkt ein in eine Führungskurve 15′einfassender Anschlagstift 16′ zusammen, um damit für das Werkzeug 5 eine somit wegbegrenzte und relativ drehbewegliche Anordnung an dem Führungsarm 3 zu erhalten. Diese relative Beweglichkeit wird auch bezüglich eines Honbandes 17 bereitgestellt, das für die Feinbearbeitung des Hubzapfens 1 an der Halbschale 9 vorbeigeführt und mit der in Richtung des Pfeils 8 wirksamen Stellkraft des Stellzylinders 4 gegen den Hubzapfen 1 angedrückt wird. Zur Führung des Honbandes 17 sind an dem Führungsarm 3 noch zwei Kugelführungen 18 angeordnet, welche die mit dem Werkzeug 5 für eine Umfassung des Hubzapfens 1 mit einem Winkel von etwa 150 ° bezweckte Wölbung den Honbandes 17 für die gesamte Dauer einer jeweiligen Feinbearbeitung begünstigen.The tool 5 has a half-shell 9 which is designed to be resilient in relation to the actuating force of the actuating cylinder 4 and a base body connected in one piece therewith 10 formed from spring steel. The resilient design of the half-shell 9 is obtained by means of individual annular gaps 11 which, with a mutually overlapping design in the circumferential direction, run concentrically with the axis 12 of the half-shell 9 practically coinciding with the crank pin 1. Through the annular gaps 11, the otherwise solid base body 10 is divided into a corresponding plurality of mutually resiliently connected segments 13, which thus at three different radial distances from the axis of the half-shell, which are shown in the drawing for the individual annular gaps 11 effective radial spring direction for the tool 5 result. The tool 5 is screwed by means of screws 14 to a tool holder 15 which is rotatably connected to the actuating cylinder 4 by means of a pin 16. With the tool holder, a stop pin 16 'engaging in a guide curve 15' cooperates in order to obtain a thus limited and relatively rotatable arrangement on the guide arm 3 for the tool 5. This relative mobility is also provided with respect to a honing belt 17 which is guided past the half-shell 9 for the fine machining of the crank pin 1 and is pressed against the crank pin 1 with the actuating force of the actuating cylinder 4 effective in the direction of arrow 8. To guide the honing belt 17, two ball guides 18 are also arranged on the guide arm 3, which favor the curvature, which is intended with the tool 5 for enclosing the crank pin 1 with an angle of approximately 150 °, for the honing belt 17 for the entire duration of a respective fine machining.

Wenn die Feinbearbeitung mit einem Honband durchgeführt wird, dann sollte dafür die für das Honband maßgebliche Andrückfläche der Halbschale 9 feingeschliffen sein. Alternativ kann auch daran gedacht werden, die Feinbearbeitung nicht mit einem Honband, sondern direkt mit dem Werkzeug 5 durchzuführen. Die dabei dann für eine direkte Anlage an dem zugeordneten Hubzapfen 1 vorgesehene Oberfläche der Halbschale 9 müßte dann lediglich mit einem als Honwerkzeug arbeitenden Hartstoff, wie Diamant, Borazon oder einem Keramikstoff, beschichtet werden. Die mit den untereinander federelastisch verbundenen Segmenten 13 erreichte "atmende" Ausbildung des Werzeuges 5 begünstigt auch dabei eine zu den Meisterwellen optimal formgetreu übertragene Bearbeitung des jeweils zugeordneten Hubzapfens, so daß für die Gesamtheit des Werkstückes ein entsprechend optimaler Traganteil für die einzelnen Kurbelwellenlager erhalten wird.If the fine machining is carried out with a honing band, then the pressing surface of the half-shell 9 which is relevant for the honing band should be finely ground. Alternatively, it can also be considered that the finishing is not carried out with a honing belt, but directly with the tool 5. This then for a direct investment in the assigned The crank pin 1 provided surface of the half-shell 9 would then only have to be coated with a hard material working as a honing tool, such as diamond, borazon or a ceramic material. The "breathing" design of the tool 5, which is achieved with the resiliently connected segments 13, also favors machining of the respective associated crank pin, which is transferred to the master shafts in an optimally true-to-shape manner, so that a correspondingly optimal load share for the individual crankshaft bearings is obtained for the entirety of the workpiece.
