( 54) TORSIONAL VIBRATION DAMPER ( 71) We, WALLACE MURRAY CORPORATION, a Corporation of Delaware, United States of America, of 299 Park Avenue, New York, New York, United States of America, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: –
The present invention relates to torsional vibration dampers of the type having a hub secured to an outer inertia member by an elastomer annulus.
The invention concerns dampers particularly, but not exclusively, for use in damping of torsional vibrations in internal combustion engines.
Torsional vibrations may be considered as back-and-forth twistings of the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, superimposed upon the main, unidirectional rotation of the crankshaft Unless controlled, such torsional vibrations will often lead to failure of the crankshaft, as well as contributing to failure in other parts of the engine or its cooling system, particularly where one of the resonant frequency modes of the crankshaft coincides with a particular firing frequency of the engine or an harmonic of that frequency According to present theory of elastomer vibration dampers, the torsional vibrational energy transmitted to the crankshaft by the action of the pistons is converted into heat in the elastomer The elastomer may accordingly be considered as a drain or sump which continually receives a portion of the energy which causes torsional vibrations.
A common form of such a damping device includes an outer or inertia member in the form of a ring or annulus of some significant mass The inner portion of this ring is attached to an elastomer annulus which, in turn, is secured to a hub or other element in turn attached to the rotating crankshaft of an engine Both the hub and inertia members may be of cast iron As the crankshaft is turning, each incremental application of torque, as occasioned by rapid fuel combustion in a cylinder, results in a slight acceleration of the metal adjacent the crank arm When the metal recovers, due to its natural elasticity or resilience, it rotates slightly in the opposite direction Such forces result in torsional vibrations in the shaft In a typical instance of torsional vibration, an engine crankshaft turning at a rate of 3000 r p m simultaneously executes angular vibrations of an amplitude of from one-fourth degree to one degree at a frequency of 150 to 250 cycles per second.
The purpose of a torsional vibration damper is to reduce the amplitude of torsional vibrations Such reduction lowers the strength requirements of the crankshaft and hence lowers the weight of the crankshaft The damper has a direct effect on the crankshaft and also inhibits vibration of various other components of the internal combustion engine which are affected by crankshaft vibration.
As an internal combustion engine is operated at various engine speeds, several vibrational frequencies appear on the crankshaft In general, most automotive and diesel engines of present design and not utilizing a torsional vibration damper have one fairly high amplitude resonant frequency within the engine operating range of speeds However, at any given engine speed, torsional vibrations from various orders of vibration are present and can be significant.
The use of the two inertia masses, each of different masses, is known in this art for the purpose of damping two particular frequencies.
A parallel damper arrangement can thus be tuned to optimize damping for the two major resonant frequencies A multiple mass damper can, similarly, damp multiple resonant frequency vibrations In prior parallel dampers, such as shown at Figure 3 of U K Patent 1,534,367 (Daimler-Benz) and Figure 2 of U.S Patent 2,477,081 (Pierce), each inertia member is secured to the hub by its own functionally separate elastomer member.
In general, prior art relating to more than one inertial mass employed in a vibration damper shows two employed masses essentially operating independent of one another and 2 _ 1,8,9 A utilizing pure elastomeric or dry friction damping mediums, or parallel combinations of the two mediums.
The object of the present invention is to provide a torsional vibration damper utilizing elastomeric damping mediums, in conjunction with multiple inertial masses to produce vibration dampers with a designed non-linearity to yield a wider effective frequency bandwidth than known dampers.
According to the present invention there is provided a torsional vibration damper of the type having an annulus hub adapted to be coupled to the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine to damp torsional vibrations thereof, in which an axially continuous, radially compressed and functionally unitary elastomer annulus surrounds the outer periphery of the hub and a plurality of annular inertia rings, each of whose inner peripheries engage the elastomer annulus, are carried by the elastomer annulus on the hub and damp different vibrational frequencies.
The entire damper is assembled in one step and utilizes the cross-sectional geometry of the elastomer member to provide axial integrity.
In one embodiment, axially variable rubbei radial deformation is utilized to provide dry friction mass interaction to any degree desired, including no interaction.
The invention is described further, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a partial axial cross-sectional view of a plural mass torsional vibration damper according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 and shows an embodiment with four inertia members; Figure 3 is a partial axial cross-sectional view of a torsional vibration damper according to another embodiment of the invention, and Figures 4 and 5 are partial axial crosssectional views of variants of the embodiment shown in Figure 1, having reference numerals which correspond to Figure 1.
Referring now to Figure 1 of the drawings, the numeral 10 denotes generally a torsional vibration damper constructed in accordance with the invention and includes a hub member denoted by the numeral 12, the hub adapted to be coupled to a shaft (not illustrated) having an axis of rotation 14 The outer radial surface of the hub is denoted by the numeral 16, the hub carrying a continuous functionally unitary annular elastomer band denoted by the numeral 18 The numeral 20 denotes a first inertia ring (inertia member) having on innermost radial surface 22 which is in contact with the elastomer band A second inertia ring is also carried by elastomer band 18, the inertia ring denoted by the numeral 24 and having an innermost radial surface 26 The numeral 30 denotes a rounded chamfer or assembly radius adjacent the left axial face of the ring 20, the numeral 32 denotes a similar chamfer adjacent the left axial face of the hub At the right axial face of the torsional vibration damper, assembly radii 34 and 36, of similar chamfer 70 are also provided The numerals 38 and 40 denote additional assembly radii at the innermost radial portion of the abutting faces of inertia rings 20 and 24 A continuous angular groove 41 is thereby defined and a correspond 75 ing groove 42, axially position at groove 41, is provided in the hub member It will be understood that each of the several assembly radii is annularly continuous.
Elastomer 18 is under radial deformation 80 (compression) and accordingly bulges somewhat at its two axial ends The elastomer is usually adhesively bonded to both the hub member and to the inertia rings Bonding techniques for carrying this out are well known 85 in the art and form no part of this invention.
The operation of the damper illustrated at Figure 1 is as follows Torsional vibrations from the internal combustion engine are transmitted through the crankshaft to hub 12, the 90 axis of rotation 14 often coinciding with the axis of rotation of the crankshaft The hub 12 executes torsional vibrations, with cast iron inertia rings 20 and 24 lagging behind or out of phase therewith by virtue of the elasticity 95 of elastomer material 18 In a manner well known to workers in this art, elastomer member 18 converts at least a portion of the energy attendant torsional vibrations into heat, thereby inhibiting the buildup of their amplitude to 100 dangerously high levels.
At regions inwardly of annular surface 22 of ring 20 the elastomer is radially deformed, while at the left axial face and at grooves 41 and 42 there is little or no radial deformation 105 because at these regions the elastomer is free to expand Similarly, radial deformation of the elastomer is present along inner surface 26 of inertia ring 24 except at the axial ends of this inertia ring Thus, radial deformation causes 110 radial stress on the two inertia rings, except at the regions thereof which are immediately adjacent their axial ends.
It should be understood that the specific geometrical shapes resulting in the annular 115 grooves 41 and 42 are not constrained to be formed by the addition of various or single circular arcs as shown in Figure 1 In practice, these grooves may take on a great many different shapes pursuant to consideration rela 120 tive to ease of machining The grooves may be geometrically similar as shown in Figure 2 as 62 and 64, or dissimilar as shown in Figure 1 as 41 and 42 The definitive criteria for the grooves simply specifies that the rubber be 125 under near zero radial compression in the axial vicinity of the interface between various inertia members It can be seen that near-zero radial rubber compression in the axial vicinity of the interface between masses results in rubber 130 1,586,499 2.
3 1,586,499 3 forces on the inertia rings that would generally tend to force these rings apart The rings will not move axially in any significant amount because of the frictional or bonded restraint of the elastomer member, but the net result is a very low or near zero normal force between the inertia members Since the general design criteria for a multiple mass vibration damper is that each mass exhibit a particular resonant frequency different from the resonant frequency of the other masses, each mass will in general be vibrating out of phase with all other masses, and therefore there will be during the operation of the damper relative back-and-forth motion between masses If there is a normal force between masses this relative motion will cause a frictional drag between masses that tends to cause each mass to inhibit the motion of any adjacent masses Thus, heat is generated at the interface between masses and vibrational energy is dissipated This mass interaction is not always a quality that is desired in a multiple mass damper and the desirability for mass interaction is a function of the system for which the damper is designed It is, in fact, a function of the embodiment shown in Figure 1 to minimize this mass interaction by manipulation of elastomer radial compression near the interface between masses Thus, the embodiment shown in Figure 1 produces near zero mass interaction and will perform dynamically very nearly like two separate dampers with different resonant frequencies.
The difference in resonant frequency is simply provided by a difference in rotational inertia between masses and/or a difference in rotational spring rate of the elastomer member brought about by the difference in axial width of that portion of the elastomer member directly associated with a given mass The low or zero mass interaction between masses of a multiple mass damper utilizing a common elastic member can also be accomplished in the manner shown in Figures 4 and 5 In Figure 4, a circumferential groove is cut in the interface between masses and no attempt is made to alter the rubber radial compression at the interface Thus, the bearing surface between masses is minimized and therefore the frictional drag or mass interaction also is minimized Zero mass interaction can be accomplished in a multiple mass damper utilizing a single elastic member as shown in Figure 5 where a thin spacing element is provided during assembly that will thereafter disengage from the masses This can be accomplished either by heating the spacer (such as a metal washer) prior to assembly, thus after assembly the element will axially contract as it cools and disengage contact between masses; or by making the spacer of some convenient material that will abrade quickly away at the onset of relative motion between masses, such as a soft graphite washer The two inertia rings 20 and 24 each function to damp a specific torsional vibration frequency in a manner well known to workers and described in, for example, the noted patent to Pierce.
Referring now to Figure 2 of the drawings, a modification is illustrated which is similar 70 to that previously described, except that four inertia rings are present instead of two The numeral 50 denotes a hub rotatable about the axis of rotation 14, the outer radial surface of the hub carrying an elastomer band 52 Inertia 75 rings 54, 56, 58 and 60 are secured to common elastomer band 52, the inner radial surfaces of these inertia rings preferably bonded to the elastomer, as the elastomer is to the hub.
Assembly radii are again employed, one such 80 radius being denoted by the numeral 62 at the left innermost radial surface of inertia ring 54.
Similar radii are formed in the remaining inertia rings, as illustrated Also, annular grooves such as groove 64 are provided on the 85 outer radial surface of hub 50 at corresponding axial locations, to thereby define grooves into which the radially deformed or compressed elastomer 52 is free to flow At both axial ends of the damper there is no radial 90 compression of the elastomer, as indicated by the bulges Similarly, there is little or no radial deformation at the continuous annular grooves coresponding to 62 and 64, as well as those grooves not bearing a numeral Again, each 95 inertia ring is adapted to damp a specific frequency The embodiment shown in Figure 2 is also designed to provide near zero mass interaction and the additional concepts used for this end as described for two mass systems 100 also apply.
Referring now to Figure 3 of the drawings, another embodiment is illustrated which is similar to that of Figure 1 The numeral 70 denotes a hub adapted to be attached to the 105 crankshaft of an internal combustion engine.
The radially outermost periphery (radial surface) of the hub is denoted by the numeral 74 and assumes the form of a convex surface in cross-section The inertia ring members are 110 denoted by 20 ‘ and 24 ‘ and have the indicated surfaces 76 and 78 at their inner radial portions The numeral 80 denotes an elastomei band preferably bonded to both the hub and the inertia rings The numeral 82 denotes the 115 abutting axial interfaces of the two inertia rings This embodiment is different from that shown in Figure 1 in that the curved configuration of surfaces 74, 76 and 78 is utilized to axially vary elastomer deformation and 120 hence the normal force against each other of abutting surfaces 82 Thus, the embodiment of Figure 3 is designed to provide mass interaction which is sometimes desirable for a given system requiring a damper The geometrical 125 shapes of the interface surfaces 74 and 76, 78 may vary from the shapes shown in Figure 3.
The design considerations are as follows: The junction between the surfaces 76 and 78 should form a smooth transition of the annular cavity 130 1,586,499 1,586,499 occupied after assembly by the elastic member The radial compression of the elastic member after assembly should be a maximum at that axial position defining the interface between masses, and thus locally decrease in both axial directions from that position.
