In the description and the claims, the "axial" orientation is directed parallel to the X axis of rotation of the damper and the "radial" orientation is directed orthogonally to the X axis of rotation of the damper.
[0028] The terms "radially outwardly" are used to define the relative position of one element relative to another, with reference to the X axis of rotation of the damper or the Y axis of rotation of the roller. An element remote from the axis is thus "radially outward" with respect to an element close to the axis.
[0029] The embodiments of the invention which are described in this patent application (FIGS. 1 to 12) relate to a shock absorber of the "double damping flywheel" type. The input or output element with port 3 is the primary flywheel and the second input or output element is the secondary flywheel 10.
[0030] Figures 1 and 2 show a double damping flywheel 1 according to a first embodiment. The double damping flywheel 1 comprises a primary flywheel, intended to be fixed at the end of a crankshaft of a motor, not shown, and a secondary flywheel 10 (not shown in FIG. 1), which is centered and guided on the primary flywheel 2 by means of a rolling bearing with balls 60. The secondary flywheel 10 is intended to form the reaction plate of a clutch, not shown, connected to the input shaft of a gearbox. The flywheels of primary inertia 2 and secondary 10 are intended to be mounted movable about an axis of rotation X and are furthermore movable in rotation relative to one another about said axis X. The primary flywheel 2 comprises a radially inner hub 61 supporting the rolling bearing 60, an annular portion 62 of the primary flywheel extends radially. A cylindrical portion 23 extends axially on the side opposite the motor, from the outer periphery of the annular portion 62 to the secondary flywheel 10. Fastening screws are used for fixing the primary flywheel 2 on the crankshaft of the engine.
[0031] The primary flywheel 2 carries, on its outer periphery, a ring gear 63 for driving in rotation of the primary flywheel 2, using a starter. The hub 61, radially internal, of the primary flywheel has a shoulder 64, serving to support the inner ring of the rolling bearing 5, which retains said inner ring towards the engine.
[0032] A projecting element 21 of the cylindrical portion extends radially towards the axis of rotation X of the damper. The protruding element is formed in the mass of the primary flywheel and has a recess 22 in which is mounted the cam follower.
[0033] The primary flywheels 2 and secondary 10 are coupled in rotation by damping means. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, these damping means comprise two resilient blades 11a, 11b mounted integral in rotation with the secondary flywheel 10 (not shown).
[0034] The elastic blades 11a llb are mounted interposed between the two flywheels so as to flex and transmit a torque between these two flywheels. To do this, the elastic blades 11a, 11b are provided with a portion provided with orifices allowing the passage of rivets 65 for attachment to the secondary flywheel 10. The two resilient blades 11a, 11b are symmetrical with respect to the axis of rotation X of the damper. The resilient blades 11a, 11b have a cam surface 6 which is arranged to cooperate with a cam follower 5, carried by the primary flywheel 2. The resilient blades 11a, 11b have a curved portion extending substantially circumferentially. The radius of curvature of the curved portion and the length of this curved portion are determined according to the desired stiffness of the elastic blade 11a, 11b. In this embodiment and the following embodiments, the primary flywheel has two cam followers disposed diametrically opposite to the axis of rotation X of the damper. The rollers 12 are rotatably mounted on the primary flywheel around an axis of rotation Y substantially parallel to the axis of rotation X of the double damping flywheel. Thus, the parasitic friction may affect the damping function are reduced. The rollers 12 are held in abutment against the cam surface 6 of their respective blades and are arranged to roll against said cam surface 6 during a relative movement between the primary and secondary flywheels 10. The rollers 12 are arranged radially outside their respective cam surface 6 so as to radially maintain the resilient blades 11a, 11b when subjected to centrifugal force. The cam surface 6 is arranged such that, for angular displacement between the primary flywheel 2 and the secondary flywheel 10, relative to a relative angular position of rest, the roller 12 moves on the cam surface 6 and in doing so, exerts a bending force on the resilient blade 11a, 11b. By reaction, the elastic blade 11a, 11b exerts on the roller 12 a reaction force which tends to bring the primary flywheels 2 and secondary 10 to their relative angular position of rest. Thus, the resilient blades 11a, 11b are able to transmit a driving torque 10 of the primary flywheel 2 to the secondary flywheel 10 (forward direction) and a resistant torque of the secondary flywheel 10 to the primary flywheel 2 (retro direction). When a driving motor torque is transmitted from the primary flywheel 2 to the secondary flywheel 10 (forward direction), the torque to be transmitted causes a relative deflection between the primary flywheel 2 and the secondary 10. The flexing force 15 of the blade depends in particular the geometry of the elastic blade 11a and its material, in particular its transverse modulus of elasticity. In response, the elastic blade 11a llb exerts on the roller 12 a reaction force that tends to bring the primary flywheels 2 and secondary 10 to their relative angular position of rest. The torsional vibrations and the irregularities of torque which are produced by the engine are transmitted by the crankshaft to the primary flywheel 2 and generate relative rotations between the primary and secondary flywheels 10. These vibrations and irregularities are damped by the bending of the elastic blade 11a lla. The embodiments presented here (FIGS. 1 to 11) relate to dual damping flywheels which comprise a primary flywheel 2 made of cast iron having two orifices 3 each comprising a fixing portion 4. Their primary flywheel comprises two cam followers 5 arranged to cooperate with a cam 6 formed on each blade 11a 11b. A cam follower comprises a fixing element 7 arranged to be mounted in the fixing portion of the orifice of the primary flywheel, and at least one bearing element 8. The damper comprises a reinforcing element 9 arranged out of the orifice fixing portion for reinforcing the cam follower by a support between the follower of the cam follower and the reinforcing member. Thus, the support between the reinforcing element of the primary flywheel and the support member 8 of the cam follower prevents the cam follower 5 from tilting around its fastening element 7 when the elastic blade produces a reaction force. on the cam follower. The primary flywheel of these dual damping flywheels further comprises a centering housing 16 arranged to ensure proper positioning of the cam follower with respect to the primary flywheel. The cam follower includes a centering element 17 arranged to fit within the centering housing so that the axis of the cam follower is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation X of the damper. As seen in Figure 2, the centering housing is a housing formed (machined for example) in the inlet of the orifice 3 of the primary flywheel. The diameter of the centering housing is greater than the diameter of the fixing portion of the orifice, and the centering housing is located in the inlet of the orifice located on the side of the secondary flywheel. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the fixing element 7 is formed on a rod 18 extending along an axis parallel to the axis of rotation X of the damper. The cam follower attachment member is formed on a first end 40 of the rod 18. The cam follower attachment member is arranged to be riveted into the attachment portion of the primary flywheel port 3. The follower of the cam follower is formed on a second end 41 of the rod, this second end of the rod being turned towards the secondary flywheel. The reinforcing member is formed in a flange 20, the flange being an insert and fixed on the steering wheel (Figure 1). This flange is a plate riveted to the element protruding from the cylindrical portion of the primary flywheel, in areas remote from the reinforcing element. The flange is arranged to at least partially cover the cam follower. The cam followers comprise rollers 12 mounted for rotation around the rods 18 along an axis of rotation Y substantially parallel to the axis of rotation X of the double damping flywheel. The roller 12 is rotatable about a rolling track 14 of the cam follower and rolling members 13, for example balls or needles, are interposed between the raceway 14 of the cam follower and the roller.
[0035] As seen in FIG. 2, the centering element of the cam follower is formed on a collar of the cam follower rod 18 and extends radially outwardly of the raceway. Here, the centering element extends radially outside the inner surface of the roller which is in contact with the rolling members. This centering element is fitted inside the centering housing and bears axially against the seat surface 70 of the centering housing. The centering element of the cam follower is situated axially between the fastening element 7 and the rolling track 14. The orifice of the primary flywheel extends substantially along the axis of rotation Y of the roller.
[0036] A protective washer 15 protects the running gear from the outer particles and prevents them from coming out of the raceway. It is mounted around the rod and is located axially between the raceway and the support element. On the other side of the runway, it is the centering element that provides these functions.
[0037] The contact portion 50 of the cam follower with the blade is located axially between the attachment member and the follower of the cam follower. Thus, according to this embodiment, the radial forces exerted by the blade on the cam follower are advantageously resumed, at the cam follower, on either side of the blade, which ensures a balanced cam follower mounting . The rolling track 14 is also formed on the cam follower rod. The rolling track of the cam follower is located axially between the centering element and the follower of the cam follower. Similarly, the track of the cam follower is located axially between the fastener and the follower of the cam follower. Since the running track is formed directly on the rod, it is preferable to use a material such as a treated steel. Consequently, the rod fixing element is mounted in the fastening portion of the rod. orifice 3 of the primary flywheel by hot riveting. Here, the fastening element, the centering element 17, the support element 8 and the rolling track 14 are formed on the shaft 18 of the cam follower. Thus the number of parts necessary for the realization of the cam follower is limited. The realization of the cam follower is simplified. Thus, it is easy for a person skilled in the art to mount a cam follower in accordance with the embodiment of FIG. 2. It is sufficient for him to arrange the rod inside the orifice so that the centering element is adjusted in the centering housing and bears against the seat surface 70 of the centering housing. The end of the rod on which the fastener is formed is heated and riveted to the orifice attachment portion. The roller and the rolling members are placed around the rod. Then the reinforcing member of the flange is disposed around the rod and the flange is riveted to the primary flywheel. A second embodiment of this invention is depicted in Fig. 3. Here, the cam follower rod 18 is inserted into a sleeve 24, and the cam follower bearing member 8 is formed on this sleeve 24. The follower of the cam follower is formed on one end of the sleeve facing the secondary flywheel. The centering element 17 of the cam follower is a radial extension or collar also formed on the sleeve 24. The rolling track 14 is also formed on the sleeve 24. In this embodiment, as the raceway and the cam follower fixing element are made in two separate parts, it is possible to use for the rod a material that deforms more easily than the material of the sleeve, which must be resistant because it carries the runway. For the sleeve, a material such as a treated steel may be used. Here, a cold riveting of the fastening element of the rod in the fixing portion of the orifice is sufficient. Thus, the sleeve, made of a material more resistant than the rod, does not undergo microdeformations consistent with the method of riveting the rod, which does not deteriorate the raceway of the sleeve and thus improves the rolling and the reliability of the follower of cam. Here, the centering element 17, the support element 8 and the rolling track 14 are formed on the sleeve 24 of the cam follower.
[0038] The protective element 15 of the rolling members is mounted around the sleeve and is located axially between the raceway and the support element. The method of mounting this cam follower may be similar to the previous embodiment. The sleeve being placed, at the same time as the stem, or just after. It is also possible to pre-assemble the rod, the sleeve, the rolling members and the roller and to mount the assembly directly on the primary flywheel. A third embodiment of this invention is described in Figures 4 and 5. In this embodiment, the blades are carried by an annular body 71. Although they are apparent in Figure 4 which has a primary flywheel, the lla llb blades are attached to the secondary flywheel (not shown in Figure 4) by means of the rivets 65. What characterizes this embodiment of the invention is the presence of a seat ring 25 mounted tightly around the sleeve 24. L centering member 17 of the cam follower is formed on said seat ring 25 which is fitted into the centering housing. As before, the follower 8 of the cam follower and the rolling track 5 are formed on this sleeve 24. The follower of the cam follower is formed on one end of the sleeve facing the secondary flywheel. The sleeve comprises a flange 26 extending radially outwardly of the raceway, and the protection element of the rolling members is formed here on this flange. A second element for protecting the rolling members is mounted around the sleeve and is located axially between the raceway and the centering element. The sleeve comprises a bearing surface 27 which bears against the seat ring, in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation X of the damper. Here, the flange 20 is annular in shape and has a plurality of reinforcing members each cooperating with a follower follower portion. This flange is attached to the cylindrical portion of the primary flywheel. In this embodiment the flange may be disposed prior to insertion of the rod and riveting of its end. A fourth embodiment of this invention is described in FIGS. 6 and 7. Although they are apparent in FIG. 6 which has a primary flywheel, the blades 11a, 11b are attached to the secondary flywheel by means of the rivets 65.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the inner conduit 31 of the sleeve is threaded and the rod is a screw whose thread 32 cooperates with the tapping of the sleeve. As before, the follower 8 of the cam follower and the rolling track 5 are formed on this sleeve 24. The follower of the cam follower is formed on one end of the sleeve facing the secondary flywheel. A bearing member protection member is mounted around the sleeve and is located axially between the raceway and the bearing member. A second protection element 28 of the rolling members is mounted around the sleeve and located axially between the raceway and the centering element. The hole of the primary flywheel is extended, on the side opposite the secondary cavolant follower, by a countersink 30. The screw 18 comprises a head 29 which abuts in the bottom of this countersink. To mount a cam follower of this type, it is possible to pre-assemble the sleeve the protection elements 15, the rolling members and the roller. It then suffices to arrange the subassembly so that the centering element formed in the sleeve is fitted into the centering housing and so that this centering element comes to bear against the seat surface 70 of the housing. centering. A fifth embodiment of this invention is described in FIGS. 8 and 9. Although they are apparent in FIG. 8 which has a primary flywheel, the blades are attached to the secondary flywheel (not shown in FIG. using rivets 65.
[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the support element is provided on a radial extension 33 of the cam follower rod. The support member of the cam follower extends radially outside the roller and bears against a reinforcement element formed directly on a rim 34 formed on the cylindrical portion of the primary flywheel. Preferably this edge is made by deformation of the cylindrical portion of the primary flywheel, after mounting the cam follower on the primary flywheel, that is to say after the riveting operation of the fastener. The follower 8 of the cam follower and the tread are formed on the shank 18. The follower of the cam follower is formed on one end of the shank facing the secondary flywheel. The cam follower comprises a seat ring 25, mounted around the rod 18, and the centering element 17 of the cam follower is formed on this seat ring 25. This seat ring is fitted in the housing centering. It bears against the seat surface 70 of the centering housing. The rod comprises a bearing surface 27, for example a shoulder, which bears against the seat ring, in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation X of the damper. The protective washer of the rolling members is advantageously made of a deformable material. The sixth and seventh embodiments of this invention are described in FIGS. 10 and 11. In these two embodiments of the invention, the support element is formed on the centering element and the reinforcing element. is formed by the centering housing of the primary flywheel. The more the centering element extends radially outwards (with respect to the axis of the cam follower), the more support it forms with the seating surface and the centering housing is able to reinforce autonomously holding the cam follower and preventing it from tilting. In these two embodiments, the support member is formed on a seat ring 25 which fits tightly in the centering housing. In both cases, the seat ring extends radially outwardly of the track of the cam follower. Here, advantageously, the seat ring extends even radially outside the inner surface of the roller which is in contact with the rolling members. In the sixth embodiment described in FIG. 10, the fastener element has a thread 32 formed on the rod. The fixing portion of the orifice comprises a tapping 35 and the fixing member of the cam follower is screwed into the fixing portion of the orifice. The end of the rod opposite to the fixing element comprises a recess 36 arranged to cooperate with a screwing tool. The rod comprises a bearing surface which, after screwing, bears against the seat ring, in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation (X) of the damper. In the seventh embodiment described in Figure 11, the rod is a screw inserted into a sleeve. This sleeve comprises, on the side of the second input or output element, a counterbore 45, and the screw comprises a head abutting in the bottom of the countersink. The sleeve comprises a bearing surface which, after screwing, bears against a protective washer, which bears against the seat ring, in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation (X) of the damper. In the eighth embodiment of FIG. 12, the support element is formed on the centering element. Unlike the sixth and seventh embodiments, there is no reported seated ring. The centering element and the rolling track are carried by the rod. The fastening element is formed by a screw inserted into the orifice on the opposite side to the secondary flywheel. The rod comprises a tapping 35 in which is threaded the thread 32 of the screw 46. Although the invention has been described in connection with several particular embodiments, it is obvious that it is in no way limited and that it includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if they fall within the scope of the invention.
