Abstract

A drive for valve drive operating control systems in motor vehicles, preferably for camshaft adjusters, includes at least one drive wheel and functional parts, such as a cover, a stator, a closing ring, and a sealing ring, as well as at least one rotor. The drive wheel and at least one of the functional parts are produced in a single part from a high-resistant, non-metallic material.

Claims (26)

1. A drive for valve drive operating control systems in motor vehicles, comprising:

at least one drive wheel,

functional parts, wherein the functional parts include a cover, a stator, and a closing ring, and

at least one rotor made of a metallic material,

wherein the drive wheel and the cover, the stator, and the closing ring are produced in a single part from a high-resistant plastic material, wherein the high-resistant plastic material has a same temperature expansion as steel, and

wherein the high-resistant plastic material is from approximately 45% up to approximately 65% mineral compounds, approximately 20% resin, and approximately 20% glass fibers.

2. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing ring is integrated into the cover.

3. The drive according to claim 2 , wherein the sealing ring is partially molded by the material forming the cover.

4. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one rotor is secured in its position between the closing ring and a cover disk.

5. The drive according to claim 4 , wherein the cover disk is held in place by a threaded bolt.

6. The drive according to claim 5 , wherein the threaded bolt is one of plural threaded bolts, and wherein nuts allocated to the threaded bolts are molded into the cover.

7. The drive according to claim 5 , wherein the threaded bolt is one of plural threaded bolts, and wherein the threaded bolts are screwed into threaded openings in the cover.

8. The drive according to claim 4 , wherein the cover disk consists of metallic material.

9. The drive according to claim 4 , wherein the cover disk consists of high resistant, non-metallic material.

10. The drive according to claim 9 , wherein the high-resistant, non-metallic material contains duroplastic.

11. The drive according to claim 10 , wherein the duroplastic is a resin.

12. The drive according to claim 11 , wherein the resin is between about 15% and 30% of the non-metallic material.

13. The drive according to claim 10 , wherein the duroplastic is between about 15% and 30% of the non-metallic material.

14. The drive according to claim 13 , wherein the duroplastic is about 20% of the non-metallic material.

15. The drive according to claim 9 , wherein the high-resistant material contains between about 15% and 30% filling agents.

16. The drive according to claim 15 , wherein the high resistant material contains about 20% filling agents.

17. The drive according to claim 15 , wherein filling agents are glass fibers.

18. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein the drive wheel is a belt wheel.

19. The drive according to claim 18 , wherein the belt wheel is a toothed belt wheel.

20. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein the drive wheel is a sprocket wheel.

21. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein the high-resistant plastic material contains about 60% mineral compounds.
