Method of manufacturing a pulley device, pulley device according to such a manufacturing method and engine equipped with such a pulley Description The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a pulley device for a tensioning roller or winder intended to cooperate with a transmission element, for example a chain or a timing belt of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine. The invention also relates to an engine equipped with such a pulley device. Such a roller is generally used to permanently maintain a tension on the transmission element, such as a belt or a chain, in a specific range or to locally change the path taken by it. We then speak respectively of tensioner roller or roller winder. In a roller, a pulley is rotatably mounted on a screw or a shaft via a bearing, the roller being then attached directly or indirectly to a motor unit or to a member of a tensioner device, for example an articulated arm or an eccentric. The bearing is a mechanical device for implementing a pivot connection between the pulley and the screw or the axis. For this purpose, the bearing may be a bearing. It is known to provide a roller bearing equipped with an inner ring, an outer ring surmounted by the pulley and a row of rolling elements, for example balls, housed radially between defined bearing paths on each of the rings. To support higher loads, the bearing can be equipped with at least two rows of rolling elements. Alternatively, the roller may be equipped with at least two single-row rolling element bearings. However, the use of a plurality of axially adjacent bearings requires the use of an interference-mounted pulley on the outer rings of the bearings, as described for example in WO 01/33108 A1. Indeed, due to tolerances and manufacturing defects of the elements of each bearing, there are axial and radial misalignment even between two bearings supposed to be identical. A pulley mounted tight on the outer rings of the axially adjacent bearings makes it possible to make up for misalignments between said outer rings. A pulley made of metal or rigid plastic can then be used for this purpose, said inner rings of the bearings being mounted in an inner cylindrical surface of a central bore of the pulley. However, such a constraint prevents the manufacture of a pulley by injection of material on the outer rings of the bearings. Indeed, in this case the misalignment can not be caught by the pulley since the material constituting said pulley is only deposited and fits the rings. A pulley material less rigid, less massive, less expensive is appropriate. The overmolding process, controlled by those skilled in the art and inexpensive, is also not appropriate. The object of the present invention is to provide a new method of manufacturing pulley device particularly simple and economical to implement. To this end, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a pulley device for tensioner roller or winder of a transmission element. According to the invention, the device comprises a pulley, at least two bearings and a sleeve and the method comprises the following successive steps: (a) At least two single-row rolling element bearings are previously assembled, said bearings comprising each an inner ring provided with a bore, an outer ring provided with an outer cylindrical surface, and a single row of rolling elements housed radially between the inner and outer rings, said rings being able to rotate relative to a central axis ; (b) A sleeve is placed in coaxial position with the bearings; (c) The at least two single-row bearings of rolling elements are successively mounted on an outer cylindrical surface of the sleeve, the inner rings of the bearings being in axial bearing with each other successively, said sleeve being common to all inner rings of the bearings, and such that the outer cylindrical surface of the sleeve interferes with the inner bearing bores of the axially adjacent bearings; and (d) A plastics material pulley is formed by injecting material onto the outer cylindrical surfaces of the outer races of the bearings. Thanks to the invention, the inner rings of the adjacent bearings are all positioned and adjusted relative to the outer cylindrical surface of the sleeve. Relative axial and radial misalignments between said rings are compensated for by cylindricity of the outer surface of the sleeve. Such cylindricity is relatively easy to manufacture for the skilled person. As a result, a pulley is formed by injection of material onto the outer rings of the adjacent bearings which, in the previous step, have all been adjusted relative to one another. The injection method deposits a material that marries the outer surfaces and any gaps between the outer rings of the bearings, said interstices having been limited by the previous step of positioning and adjustment. Thus, the invention makes it possible to replace the use of a multi-row bearing by a plurality of single-row bearings while retaining the technical advantages, in equivalent number of rows of rolling elements. In addition, a multi-row bearing has a higher cost and manufacturing accuracy compared to several single row bearings, in equivalent number of rows of rolling elements. The invention also relates to a pulley device for tensioning roller or retractor obtained by such a manufacturing method. According to advantageous but non-mandatory aspects of the invention, a stop device obtained by such a manufacturing method may incorporate one or more of the following features taken in any technically permissible combination: The rolling elements of the bearing are balls. The rolling elements of the bearing are held more or less evenly spaced circumferentially by a cage. The pulley is made of a material that can be injected, cast or molded, for example plastic. The pulley is made of polyamide PA66 with 30% fiberglass. The pulley comprises an outer axial portion intended to cooperate with a transmission element, an inner axial portion, surmounting the outer rings of the bearings, and a radial annular intermediate portion connecting said axial portions. The pulley comprises stiffening ribs provided between the inner and outer axial portions and connected to the intermediate portion. The inner axial portion of the pulley comprises two shoulders directed radially inwardly of the pulley device, said shoulders being positioned axially on either side of the assembly formed by the bearings of the pulley device so that the rings adjacent outer bearings are retained axially by said shoulders. The inner axial portion of the pulley is extended at an axial end by fastening means for cooperating with a cover. The attachment means for a lid consist of an annular axial portion provided with a relief intended to be housed in an associated cavity of said lid. The relief is annular. The sleeve is made of steel. The sleeve is sintered steel D10 with bonding agent. The sleeve comprises a tubular portion provided with the outer cylindrical surface on which the bearings are mounted, said tubular portion being extended at an axial end by an annular radial flange of larger diameter. The outer diameter of the flange of the sleeve does not extend more than 90% of the inside diameter of the pulley so as to leave a free radial space between said flange and said pulley for closing a mold on the outer rings of the bearings during the overmolding process of the pulley. The sleeve is provided with a bore for supporting a screw or shaft. The sleeve is provided with fixing means intended to be mounted integrally on a support. The invention also relates to an internal combustion engine comprising at least one tensioner roller device or winder for torque transmission element according to one of the embodiments mentioned above. The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the light of the following description of a single embodiment of a pulley device according to its principle, given only as a example and with reference to the accompanying drawings showing an axial half-sectional view of such a pulley device.

The rolling bearing 10 comprises a single row of rolling elements 13, here made in the form of balls, arranged between toroidal raceways provided at the bore 11d of the outer ring 11 and the outer cylindrical surface 12c of the ring. inside 12. The rings 11, 12 of the rolling bearing 10 may be in relative rotation around the central axis X1. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated, the outer rings 7, 11 and inner 8, 12 are massive, that is to say whose shape is obtained by machining with removal of chips (turning, grinding) from tubes, bars, forged blanks and / or rolled. The rolling elements 9, 13 may be housed in a cage, not shown, ensuring the maintenance of the circumferential spacing of the rolling elements. The rolling bearings 6, 10 may each comprise one or two annular sealing means, not shown, on each side of the single row of rolling elements. According to the invention, rolling bearings 6, 10 with a single row of rolling elements 9, 13 respectively are axially adjacent. The outer rings 7, 11 and inner rings 8, 12 of the two bearings 6, 10 are adjacent axially respectively, so that the radial front edges 7b, 11a of the outer rings 7, 11 and the radial front edges 8b, 12a of the inner rings. 8, 12 are axially supported. The rolling bearings 6, 10 are both radially housed in the pulley 2. More specifically, the outer cylindrical surfaces 7c, 11c of the outer rings 7, 11 of the rolling bearings 6, 10 respectively are in contact with the bore 3a of FIG. the inner axial portion 3 of the pulley 2. The inner axial portion 3 of the pulley 2 comprises two shoulders 3b, 3c directed radially inwardly of the pulley device 1, said shoulders 3b, 3c being positioned axially on either side of the assembly formed by the bearings. Bearings 6, 10 of the stop device 1. The shoulder 3b is axially in abutment against the radial front edge 11b of the outer ring 11 of the rolling bearing 10 and the shoulder 3c is axially in abutment against the radial front edge 7a of the outer ring 7 of the rolling bearing 6. Thus the outer rings 7, 11 axially adjacent to the rolling bearings 6, 10 are retained axially by said shoulders 3b, 3c of the pulley 2. The inner rings 8, 12 axially adjacent to the rolling bearings 6, 10 have adjacent bores 8d, 12d in which a sleeve 14 is housed. The sleeve 14, of central axis X1, comprises a cylindrical axial portion 15 having an outer cylindrical surface 15a on which are fitted the bores 8d, 12d of the inner rings 8, 12 of the bearings 6, 10 respectively. The cylindrical axial portion is extended at one of its axial ends by an annular radial flange 16 of larger diameter. The flange covers on one side the free radial space between the bore 11 d of the outer ring 11 and the outer cylindrical surface 12c of the inner ring 12 so as to prevent the entry of polluting elements from outside. of the device 1. The flange 16 also forms an axial abutment surface against which comes axially bearing the radial front edge 12b of the inner ring 12 of the rolling bearing 10. The inner ring 8 of the other rolling bearing 6 of the device 1 also bearing against said inner ring 12 of the rolling bearing 10, the flange 16 serves as a reference for the adjustment in axial positioning of the adjacent inner rings in support. Furthermore, the flange 16 may come axially in abutment against an outer support, not shown, the pulley device 1 to allow mounting and fixing the device 1 on said support. The support may be for example a motor unit, an articulated or eccentric arm of the associated automatic tensioner roller. For this purpose, the sleeve 14 as a whole is provided with a through bore 15b in which can be inserted a screw for securing the pulley device 1 to said support. According to the invention, the device 1 is mounted by the following successive steps. The two rolling bearings 6 and 10 single row of rolling elements are previously assembled, said bearings 6, 10 each comprising an inner ring 8, 12 provided with a bore 8d, 12d respectively, an outer ring 7, 11 provided with an outer cylindrical surface 7c, 11c respectively, and a single row of rolling elements 9, 13 housed radially between the inner rings 8, 12 and outer 7, 11 respectively, said rings 7, 8 and 11, 12 being rotatable relative to the central axis X1. The sleeve 14 is placed in co-axial position with the rolling bearings 6, 10. The two rolling bearings 6, 10 with single row of rolling elements are successively mounted on the outer cylindrical surface 15a of the cylindrical axial portion 15 of the sleeve 14, said axial portion 15 being common to all of the inner rings 8, 12 bearings 6, 10 respectively. The outer cylindrical surface 15a of the axial portion 15 interferes with the bores 8d, 12d of the inner rings 8, 12 of the axially adjacent bearings 6, 10. More specifically, the inner rings 8, 12 have their position adjusted on the cylindrical portion 15 to bear axially. In addition, the inner ring 12 of the bearing 10 also bears axially against the flange 16 extending radially from the axial portion 15 of the sleeve, in order to form a positioning reference and a stop for the inner rings 8, 12. consequently, the outer rings 7, 11 come close to one another to an axial support. The pulley 2 made of plastic material is then overmolded on the assembly formed by the outer rings 7, 11 of the bearings 6, 10. The pulley may advantageously be made of plastic, for example of polyamide PA66 reinforced with 30% glass fiber. According to an alternative not shown, the device 1 may comprise more than two axially adjacent bearing bearings. Preferably, the outer diameter of the flange 16 of the sleeve 14 does not extend more than 90% of the inside diameter of the pulley 2, in particular of the shoulder 3b, so as to leave a free radial space between said flange 16 and said pulley 2 for closing a mold on the outer rings 7, 11 of the bearings 6, 10 during the overmolding process of the pulley 2. The invention is described above in the case of the use of ball bearings. It can also be used with other rolling elements, in particular pebbles or needles. The technical characteristics of the embodiments and variants envisaged above can be combined with each other.
