Technical Field

The invention relates to a device having a connection which is not rotatable relative to one another, in particular a connection which is immovable and not rotatable relative to one another.

Background

Such a device includes a first member and a second member. The first member has a cylindrical outer surface and the second member has a cylindrical inner surface, the outer surface being arranged coaxially with the longitudinal centre axis of the inner surface forming a non-rotatable connection, in the inner surface, wherein the outer surface and the inner surface form a co-operating connection surface.

Such a device is known from DE 202012111124B 3. In such devices, the crankshaft is assembled from components. The crank pin has a fixing section with teeth extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the fixing section is pressed into a receiving opening of the crank arm. The cross section of the fastening section partially protrudes over the inner cross section of the associated receiving opening.

DE 102010048674 a1 describes a shaft gear having a form-locking, force-locking or material-locking connection between the meshing part and the hub part. The connection can be formed, for example, by a press connection, by an out-of-roundness of the clearance of the engagement member and the complementary hub part or by a plug engagement.

In particular in the case of connection fittings with different coefficients of expansion, the problem arises that, in the case of unfavorable temperature conditions, the outer diameter of the pin expands so strongly that the component provided with the gap is destroyed, or the inner diameter of the gap expands to such an extent that the gap between the first component and the second component is so large that a reliable transmission of motion cannot be guaranteed.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is to provide a device having a rotationally fixed connection, in which the risk of overloading the material due to different material expansions is reduced and the risk of an insufficient force transmission between the first and second component is reduced.

This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.

The outer or inner surface forms a retaining engagement, the flanks of which extend, for example, axially, i.e., parallel to the longitudinal center axis, and the other of the connection surfaces forms longitudinal projections distributed over the circumference and spaced apart from one another. The longitudinal projection extends, for example, in a direction parallel to the longitudinal center axis of the member. At least one of the components is, for example, rotationally symmetrical. For example, a component having a cylindrical outer surface is configured with a retaining toothing and cooperates with a longitudinal projection configured on a component having a cylindrical inner surface. According to an alternative embodiment, the retention engagement is provided on the outer surface and the longitudinal projection is provided on the inner surface.

According to one embodiment, transverse projections are formed spaced apart from one another distributed over the circumference, which extend both radially and in the circumferential direction and prevent axial relative movements of the components, the axial extension being able to be small, for example between 1mm and 3 mm.

The design of the invention is characterized in that the longitudinal and/or transverse projections have a greater rigidity than the retaining engagement. The harder material deforms the softer material of the retention engagement portion upon assembly, corresponding to the radially sized overlap about the longitudinal center axis.

The design of the invention is characterized in that the holding engagement is made of plastic. The plastic may be, for example, Polyoxymethylene (POM).

An embodiment is characterized in that the longitudinal projection extends over a smaller length with respect to the teeth of the toothing. In this way, the longitudinal projection can deform the adjoining material of the engagement section such that a material projection of the material of the engagement section is formed adjoining the longitudinal projection, thereby preventing relative movements between the two components in the rotational direction and in the axial direction. In particular, if the engagement section is made of plastic, the mounting mark is formed.

A further embodiment is configured such that the root circle diameter of the holding engagement portion is smaller than the tip circle diameter of the longitudinal projection and/or the transverse projection. In the case of a large expansion of the material due to heating, the material still has sufficient free space to deform, in particular expand, radially, and the pressure on the flanks of the voids is not so great that temperature changes may lead to material damage.

The transverse projection is formed, for example, on the end face of the longitudinal projection.

The longitudinal projection is arranged between two flanks of adjacent teeth of the toothing. Here, the longitudinal center axis of each longitudinal projection is arranged parallel to the longitudinal center axis of the adjacent tooth.

Detailed Description

The apparatus is generally indicated by reference numeral 10 in the drawings. The same reference numerals denote corresponding parts in different drawings even in the case where lower case letters are added or omitted.

According to fig. 1, the device 10 comprises a first member 11 and a second member 12. The first member 11 is in this embodiment a spindle nut 25 for driving a threaded spindle. The second member 12 is a magnetic ring 26. The spindle nut 25 is made of plastic, here polyoxymethylene, while the magnet ring 26 is made of hard ferrite. The magnetic ring 26 is arranged coaxially with the longitudinal center axis m of the spindle nut 25 on the region of engagement of the outer surface 13 of the spindle nut 25.

In the prior art, there is a problem that the expansion of the spindle nut 25 exceeds the expansion of the magnetic ring 26 due to the difference in the expansion coefficients of the members 11 and 12, so that the magnetic ring 26 is broken or a gap is formed so large at the time of temperature change, so that reliable holding of the magnetic ring 26 cannot be ensured. However, for example in the automotive industry, reliable functioning is required in the temperature range from-40 ℃ to 80 ℃.

In fig. 1, an internal thread 14 is visible in the continuous coaxial recess, which internal thread is provided for driving the threaded spindle. An external toothing 15 is formed on the outer surface of the spindle nut 25, via which external toothing the spindle nut 25 is driven by the electric drive. In the top view according to fig. 2, a sectional line is shown, which extends perpendicular to the center axis m. The spindle nut 25 is configured with a shoulder face 21. The end face 20 of the magnet ring 26 rests against the shoulder face 21 of the spindle nut 25.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the magnet ring 26. The magnet ring is cylindrical in shape and has an inner surface 17 arranged coaxially with the outer surface 16. On the inner surface 17, 8 longitudinal projections 18 are formed at equal intervals around the circumference. At the end of each longitudinal projection 18, a transverse projection 19 is formed. However, the number of the longitudinal projections 18 and the lateral projections 19 may be different from each other and may be selected as needed.

The lateral faces of the longitudinal projection 18 extend parallel to the longitudinal central axis m. The lateral flanks of the transverse projection 19 extend with a short length parallel to the longitudinal central axis m. In other words: the transverse projection 19 is disk-shaped. The lateral projections 19 project further radially toward the longitudinal center axis m direction with respect to the longitudinal projections 18 and extend in the circumferential direction.

Fig. 4 shows a plan view of the spindle nut 25. The spindle nut 25 comprises a region provided with an external engagement portion 15. The outer toothing 15, i.e. each tooth flank of the outer toothing 15, forms an angle α with respect to the longitudinal centre axis m. The retaining engagement 22 abuts on a shoulder face 21 formed by a shoulder. The tooth flanks of the retaining toothing 22 extend parallel to the longitudinal center axis m.

Fig. 5 shows a sectional view according to the section line a-a, wherein the section is taken through the longitudinal bulge 18. As can be seen in fig. 5, the head 27 of each longitudinal projection 18 is arranged between two adjacent teeth of the retaining mesh 22. In other words: the longitudinal center axis of the longitudinal projection 18 is disposed between the longitudinal center axes of adjacent teeth of the retaining mesh. It can also be seen that the tip circle diameter of the longitudinal projection 18 is greater with respect to the longitudinal center axis m than the root circle diameter of the retaining mesh 22.

A section through the transverse projection 19 according to section line B-B is shown in fig. 6. The tip circle diameter of the transverse protrusion 19 is also larger than the root circle diameter of the retaining mesh 22 with respect to the longitudinal center axis m. Due to the difference between the root circle diameter and the tip circle diameter of the longitudinal lobe 18 or of the transverse lobe 19, an additional radial deformation of the holding web 22 into the free space can be carried out with temperature changes, for example with heating. It is thus prevented that, when the spindle nut 25 expands too strongly, the pressure acting on the magnet ring 26 becomes so strong that the magnet ring breaks.

The mounting of the plastic material is performed because the material of the magnetic ring 26 is harder compared to the material of the spindle nut 25, which is illustrated in fig. 7 and 8, which fig. 7 and 8 show the spindle nut 25 without the magnetic ring 26. The mounting mark 23 is formed based on the deformation by the longitudinal protrusions 18 and the mounting mark 24 is formed based on the deformation by the lateral protrusions 19. The mounting marks 23 are abutment surfaces which are designed in such a way that they prevent a rotational relative movement between the magnet ring 26 and the spindle nut 25 about the longitudinal center axis m. The mounting marks 24 are abutment surfaces which prevent relative movement between the magnetic ring 26 and the spindle nut 25 parallel to the longitudinal center axis m in the x1 and x2 directions.

As can be seen in fig. 7 and 8, the mounting marking 23 representing the imprint of the longitudinal projection 18 is short in relation to the teeth of the retaining toothing 22, which relates to an extension parallel to the longitudinal central axis m. It can also be seen that a mounting marking 24, which represents the imprint of the transverse projection 19, is provided between the end 25 of the tooth and the end of the tooth of the retaining toothing 22, which end is formed by the shoulder face 21.

The assembly of the magnetic ring 26 is performed by pushing the magnetic ring 26 onto the spindle nut 25 in the direction x2 (see fig. 3). Here, the teeth are first only elastically deformed and only after a long time are plastically deformed in the installed position of the magnet ring 26. Due to this plastic deformation, additional deformation of the softer material may occur in the case of extreme temperature situations, so that overloading of the magnet ring 26 does not occur.

In the case of material shrinkage, on the other hand, loosening of the connection does not occur due to low temperatures, since loosening of the form-locking connection does not occur due to the interaction of the teeth of the retaining toothing 22 with the longitudinal projection 18 and the transverse projection 19.
