Description
TENSIONING DEVICE FOR A BELT DRIVE OF A VEHICLE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention is related to a tensioning device for a belt drive of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, in particular to a belt drive for applications in the presence of oil.
BACKGROUND ART
Dry belt drives comprising a plurality of pulleys linked to respective rotating members are known, including an engine crankshaft, a belt wounded around the pulleys and an automatic tensioner to guide and maintain the belt under tension.
In particular, the automatic tensioner comprises a supporting body fixed to a wall of the engine, an arm hinged on the supporting body, an idle pulley carried by the arm and a helical spring connected to the supporting body and actuating the arm against the belt.
Recently, belt drives have been developed for applications in the presence of oil. For such applications it is envisaged the use of shoe tensioners such as those used in combination with chains, which are more compact than the automatic arm tensioners previously described.
However, the shoe tensioners used with chains are
not suitable for recovering the bending oscillations typical of belts and are, moreover, relatively expensive and complex.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The object of this invention is to obtain a tensioning device for a belt drive for applications in the presence of oil, which is free from the above- mentioned drawbacks .
The object of this invention is achieved by means of a tensioning device as described in claim 1.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
For a better understanding of the present invention, it will now be described a preferred embodiment, by way of non-limitative example, and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- figure 1 is a side view of a tensioning device according to the present invention; and
- figure 2 is a side view of a second embodiment of the present invention.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Figure 1 shows a tensioning device 1 for a belt drive for applications in the presence of oil, for an internal combustion engine. The tensioning device 1 is constrained to a wall 2 of the internal combustion engine by a pin 3 and is adapted to co-operate by
sliding with a belt 4 of the belt drive partially shown in figure 1.
The tensioning device 1 defines a single blade element and is formed by bending a metal strip. The blade element comprises a supporting arm 5 defining a constraint end portion 6 hinged to the pin 3, a shoe element 11 connected to the supporting arm 5 on the longitudinal side opposite to the constraint portion 6 and bent towards the constraint portion 6, and a resilient bending element 12 co-operating with the shoe element 11 and the supporting arm 5.
The supporting arm 5 further comprises a first straight portion 13 connected to the constraint portion β, a second straight portion 14 defining both an obtuse angle with the straight portion 13 and a face 15 adapted to abut against a fixed element 16 carried by the wall 2.
Moreover, the constraint portion 6 of the supporting arm 5 defines a circular seat 17 adapted to couple onto the pin 3.
The shoe element 11 is arranged on the opposite side of the face 15 with respect to the straight portion 14 and is connected to the straight portion 14 by means of a resilient connecting portion 18 arranged on the same side of the straight portion 13 as the straight
portion 14. Moreover, the shoe element 11 is of an elongated shape and defines a convex contact surface 19 adapted to co-operate directly in contact with the belt 4.
In particular, the connecting portion 18 defines an "elbow portion" and this term designates hereinafter a portion that reciprocally connects two straight elements forming an angle of less than 180° and presenting a bending radius, or which connects two arched elements having respective bending radiuses bigger than the bending radius of the elbow portion.
The resilient bending element 12 is connected to the shoe element 11 on the longitudinal side opposite to the connecting portion 18 and comprises in sequence starting from the shoe element 11, an elbow portion 20 bent towards the connecting portion 18 and arranged beside the straight portion 13, a straight portion 21 facing the straight portion 14, a second elbow portion 22 defining an λS-shaped' profile with the elbow portion 20 and an arm 23 facing towards the constraint portion 6.
In particular, the arm 23 has a free end portion 24 longitudinally opposite to the elbow portion 22 and bent towards the straight portion 21 to co-operate in contact with a contact face 25 on the straight portion 14
opposite to the face 15 and facing the straight portion 21.
In use, the tensioning device 1 is in the presence of lubricating oil which generates a lubrication meatus between the belt 4 and the contact surface 19 allowing both reduced friction and cooling of the components in relative motion.
In use, the shoe element 11 is loaded against the belt 4 by means of the resilient bending element 12 and the connecting portion 18 in order to correctly guide and tension the belt 4.
In particular, the connecting portion 18 and the elbow portions 20, 22 define a system of springs in which the elbow portions 20, 22 are operatively connected in series and the connecting portion 18 and the elbow portions 20, 22 are operatively connected in parallel .
The use of the bending springs to support the shoe element 11 makes it possible to reach a compromise between the opposing needs of allowing considerable deformability in order to recover the oscillations of the belt and maintain correct average tension of the belt 4.
Moreover, during every bending movement of the belt 4, the free end portion 24 loaded by the arm 23 moves
onto the contact face 25 generating a damping to stabilise the dynamic behaviour of the belt 4.
The advantages that the tensioning device 1 previously described allows to achieve are as follows.
In particular, the tensioning device 1 is simple to built and assemble and has reduced dimensions, making it possible to recover the oscillations of the belt.
Moreover, the tensioning device 1 can be constructed using an easily automated process such as bending.
Finally, it is clear that changes and variations to the tensioning device here described and illustrated can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention, as defined by the annexed claims.
In particular, the tensioning device 1 can be constrained in a different manner to the wall 2, for example by means of a second pin that replaces either the fixed element 16 or the pin 3 and is abutly arranged against a concave surface defined by the connecting portion 18.
Moreover, it is possible to envisage that the contact surface 19 is defined by a coating layer or a bent element rigidly connected to the shoe element 11. Also in this case the shoe element 11 co-operates with
the belt 4. In particular, in the present description and in the claims, the term Λco-operate' does not imply direct contact.
Moreover, if it is necessary to increase the damping of the tensioning device 1, it is possible to cover the free end portion 24 and/or the contact face 25 of the straight portion 14 with a friction material.
Alternatively, the contact face 25 can be suitably shaped to change the damping by modifying the geometry of the surfaces in relative contact. For example, the surface 25 can define a recess co-operating with the free end portion 24 in order to increase the damping.
Moreover, it is possible to change the geometry of the tensioning device 1 to meet different requirements of dimension or stiffness. For example, to reduce the stiffness and the dimension in a transverse direction with respect to the contact surface 19, the elbow portion 20 could be directly connected to the arm 23, which in this case extends towards the connecting portion 18.
Alternatively, as shown in figure 2, it is possible to bend the arm 23 towards the shoe element 11. In this case the resilient bending element 12 comprises an elbow portion 30 bent towards the pad element 11 and defining a λC-shaped' profile with the elbow portion 20. The free
end portion 24 co-operates in contact with a face 31 of the shoe element 11 opposite to the contact surface 19 and facing towards the straight portion 21.
Moreover, it is possible to envisage that the elbow portion 30 or the elbow portion 20 could co-operate in contact with the arm 5, thus increasing the damping. In this manner, the connecting portion 18 and the elbow portions 20, 30 are operatively connected in parallel allowing the elastic flexural element 12 to be stiffened.
