Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ball cage for a ball constant velocity joint, consisting of an annular body with a longitudinal axis and a central plane perpendicular to it, the common point of which forms a cage center, the annular body is delimited by ring edges lying parallel to the central plane, which border two end openings with a smallest diameter, and has a fundamentally convex outer ring surface and a fundamentally concave inner ring surface, elongated windows are formed in the ring body symmetrically to the central plane over the circumference in the circumferential direction, which are separated from one another by separating webs and which are each laterally delimited by peripheral webs.
  • Cages in spherical constant-velocity rotary joints have the task of keeping the entirety of the balls in a common plane, which is regarded as the central plane of the ball cage and which forms the bisecting line for each angular movement between the outer joint part and the inner joint part.
  • the balls are guided directly through the shape of the tracks in the outer joint part and inner joint part to the bisecting plane, this guide in the through the crossing axes of the outer joint part and joint inner part spanned plane is very effective, but is almost ineffective in a perpendicular plane.
  • Cages according to the invention are particularly suitable for so-called counter track joints, in which first outer tracks with first inner tracks form first pairs of tracks, the tracks of which differ from one another in a first axial direction, and second outer tracks with second inner tracks form second pairs of tracks, the tracks of which move in a second opposite axial direction separate from each other.

  • second outer tracks with second inner tracks form second pairs of tracks, the tracks of which move in a second opposite axial direction separate from each other.
  • the assembly between the inner joint part and the cage is particularly difficult because of the shape of the track changing in the circumferential direction from ball track to ball track. Since in joints of this type the loading forces on the circumferential webs on the cage also change from cage window to cage window over the circumference, it is possible to provide mounting recesses, each include the width of two dividers and the cage window in between.
  • Cages according to the invention are equally suitable for constant velocity ball joints in the form of Rzeppa fixed joints, in which the outer tracks each form pairs of tracks with the inner tracks, the tracks of which move away from one another in a corresponding axial direction.
  • the advantages of the cage according to the invention are particularly evident when a shaft journal is inseparably connected to the inner joint part, so that conventional assembly by threading and rolling the inner joint part into the ball cage is ruled out and assembly in an approximately coaxial orientation is necessary.
  • the cages according to the invention are also suitable for so-called VL joints, in which the ball tracks in the inner joint part and the ball tracks in the outer joint part of the track pairs each form opposite, equal crossing angles with the longitudinal axis of the respective component and thus outer tracks assigned to one another as track pairs and inner tracks form intersection angles with one another, which serve to control the balls in the case of articulation and in the event of axial displacement.

  • the mounting expansions have inner cylindrical base surfaces in relation to the longitudinal axis of the cage. Furthermore, it is favorable if the remaining surfaces of the inner ring surface lying outside the assembly extensions form inner spherical surfaces related to the center of the cage, so that the cage wall thickness is essentially constant in the area of these remaining surfaces. It is further proposed that the remaining surfaces lying outside of the mounting expansions be turned inside the cylinder in connection with the outer ring edges. This prevents the shaft from striking the cage prematurely when the joint is flexed.

  • the mounting expansions are each carried out from an annular edge to the center plane M.
  • the specific orientation of the ball cage must be observed during assembly. Overall, the ball cage has greater strength due to a cage half that is uniformly thick in the circumferential direction.

  • Mounting extensions that change over the scope require an even number of spherical windows. Eight spherical windows are preferably provided. Six or ten spherical windows can also be displayed. It is generally provided that the mounting extensions each extend from the corresponding ring edge in a longitudinal section to the central plane.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une cage à billes (11) pour un joint rotatif homocinétique à billes, comprenant un corps annulaire avec un axe longitudinal et un plan médian qui lui est perpendiculaire, dont le point commun forme un point médian de la cage. Le corps annulaire est délimité par des arêtes annulaires parallèles au plan médian, qui entourent deux ouvertures terminales, et présente une surface annulaire extérieure (12), en principe convexe et une surface annulaire intérieure (20), en principe concave. Il est prévu dans le corps annulaire, des fenêtres (15) oblongues dans le sens périphérique, réparties sur la périphérie, de manière symétrique par rapport au plan médian. Lesdites fenêtres sont séparées les unes des autres par des entretoises de séparation (16) et sont délimitées dans chaque cas latéralement par des entretoises périphériques (17, 18). Dans l'affectation se rapportant à la position périphérique, par rapport aux entretoises de séparation (16), le corps annulaire présente dans la surface annulaire intérieure (20), des évasements de montage (19) partant d'au moins une arête annulaire et s'étendant dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal.
