Abstract

The invention relates to a rotary oscillation damper having an input part and an output part which can be moved relatively and to a limited extent with respect thereto against the influence of at least one energy store. The at least one energy store is in this case supported on one side on a counter bearing and on its other side acts on in each case at least one movement profile, which runs in the circumferential direction, of the input part and output part, in such a manner that, during a relative rotation of the input part and output part with respect to one another, the energy store absorbs energy, and emits it again when the relative rotation is reversed.

Claims (16)

1. A rotary oscillation damper, comprising:

at least one energy store;

two components, an input part and an output part, which can rotate in a limited manner with respect to one another and against an influence of the at least one energy store,

wherein the at least one energy store has two mutually opposite force absorption points, one of the force absorption points is supported on an counter bearing and the other force absorption point is supported such that the other force absorption point can move along at least one movement profile in in a circumferential direction of the components,

wherein each movement profile has a minimum and sliding tracks, and

wherein the sliding tracks, which are formed between the minimum and two extreme points of the movement profile, are linear.

2. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one energy store is a helical spring.

3. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 1 , wherein the force absorption points of a plurality of energy stores, which are distributed over a circumference, are supported on a common opposing bearing as a bearing ring.

4. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 3 , wherein the bearing ring is supported, such that the bearing ring can rotate, on one of the components or on an additional component.

5. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 3 , wherein the bearing ring is stabilized in position by means of mutual bracing of the energy stores which are distributed over the circumference.

6. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 1 , wherein movement profiles of the input part and of the output part are the same.

7. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 1 , wherein a sliding block, which holds the other force absorption point of the at least one energy store, slides on movement profiles.

8. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 7 , wherein a profile of the sliding blocks, which slides on the movement profiles and the movement profiles slide on involute tracks.

9. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 7 , wherein the movement profiles are separated from one another axially by means of spacing tabs.

10. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 1 , wherein one component has two movement profiles, and the movement profile of the other component is guided between the movement profiles of the other component.

11. The rotary oscillation damper according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of sub-profiles are provided over a contour of a movement profile.
