DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention is directed to a rotary drive, in particular, for vehicle doors, in which the piston motion of a hydraulic or pneumatic piston-power cylinder-unit is converted into rotary motion of one of the cylinders connected with a power output shaft by means of roller pairs, which engage into inclined slots provided in cylinders arranged coaxially inside each other, wherein the slots transit into an axial direction at their end.
The known rotary drives of this type exhibit the disadvantage that they often do not satisfy the exacting conditions to which they are exposed. Above all the leakage in the housing repeatedly occurs, principally in the region of the passage of the power output shaft, so that functional deficiencies arise.
The aim of the invention is the creation of a rotary drive with a leak-proof housing, which, however, does not complicate the accessibility to the components of the drive.
This aim is attained in the invention in that the cover of the pot-shaped housing, through which the power output shaft passes, exhibits a collar embracing the power output shaft, which collar projects outwards and in that the power output shaft is equipped with a cup-shaped seal firmly seated in an annular groove, whose surface contour overlaps the collar from the outside and rests tightly at the cover with its edge, wherein said cover is provided with an axially oriented annular groove at its side facing away from the collar, into which the edge of the pot-shaped housing is tightly fitted.
The invention is further directed to the structural embodiment of the rotary drive.
The subject of the invention is depicted in the drawing by way of an embodiment form as an example.
FIG. 1 shows an axial section through the rotary drive,
FIGS. 2 and 3 different arrangements of a switch and
FIG. 4 a section along the line IV--IV in FIG. 1.
A pot-shaped housing 1, FIG. 4, consisting of the parts 1a and 1b is sealed with the cover 2, which exhibits an attachment flange 3 for the rotary drive. An outer cylinder 4 is provided inside of the housing, which cylinder is rigidly connected with the cover 2 and with a piston-cylinder unit designated with 5 in its entirety. This unit can be laid out for hydraulic or pneumatic media. A second cylinder 6 is provided coaxially inside of the cylinder 4, which second cylinder transits into a power output shaft 7 passing through the cover 2. The inner cylinder is rotatably supported in the ball bearings 8, 9.
Both cylinders exhibit slots 10 and 11, which extend obliquely to the axis of the drive and transit at their ends into an axial direction, as is shown in the FIGS. 2 and 3.
A radially oriented axis 13 sits on the piston rod 12 of the piston cylinder unit 5 on which axis roller pairs 14 are rotatably supported on both sides. The rollers run in the slots 10 and 11. In case of an axial movement of the piston rod 12 the inner cylinder 6 and with it the power output shaft 7 is rotated relatively to the outer cylinder 4 and the door movement is effected in this manner. The construction of the rotary drive is known and therefore not a subject of the invention.
For a tight termination of this drive a cover 2 is provided with a collar 15 embracing the power output shaft 7, whose outer front face extends obliquely towards the cover edge, so that the liquid can be diverted towards the circumference. The power output shaft 7 is provided with an annular groove 16, into which a cup-shaped seal 17 is tightly fitted. The outer contour 18 of this seal overlaps the collar 15 and the seal edge 19 rests tightly at the front face of the cover 2. Said cover exhibits at the opposite side an axially oriented groove 20, into which the edge of the housing 1 is tightly fitted.
In this manner a completely satisfactory sealing is assured also in the course of exacting operation as tests have shown. In order to facilitate the accessibility of the individual components, the housing 1 is preferably divided along a plane which extends parallel to the piston rod 12, as shown in FIG. 4.
