    The invention relates to a slide bearing element comprising a first layer with a radially inner surface, wherein a measuring device is arranged on the radially inner surface of the first layer, which has a first electrical insulation layer, a sensor layer and a second electrical insulation layer in the order specified.
    The invention further relates to a plain bearing comprising a bearing seat with a radially inner surface and at least one plain bearing element which is arranged adjacent to the radially inner surface of the bearing seat.
    In addition, the invention relates to a method for producing a plain bearing element, according to which a measuring device is formed on a radially inner surface of a first layer, for which purpose a first electrical insulation layer, a sensor layer and a second electrical insulation layer are deposited in the order specified.
    The sensory monitoring of plain bearings has become increasingly important in recent years. In addition to the indirect measurement of plain bearing parameters, the focus is increasingly on the arrangement of sensors in or in the immediate vicinity of the lubrication gap. Not only are the environmental conditions for the sensors problematic, but also the mechanical characteristics of the plain bearings, such as the presence of rotating components. For example, reference is made to AT 408 900 B, from which a device for monitoring a plain bearing, which has a bearing shell clamped in a support body, is known, with at least one sensor for temperature-dependent / 36 arranged in the bearing shell region
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    Measurement signals and with an evaluation circuit for the measurement signals. The measuring sensor is designed as a pressure sensor for pressure forces effective in the circumferential direction of the bearing shell or for radial pressure forces between the bearing shell and the support body.
    A plain bearing and a method for its production are known from US 2016/0208849 A1. The plain bearing has a metallic substrate, a first electrically insulating layer on the metallic substrate, an electrical component on the electrically insulating layer, and a second electrical insulating layer. The two electrically insulating layers are designed as sliding lacquer layers.
    The present invention has for its object to improve a sliding bearing element with a sensor for detecting operating parameters, with regard to the application properties.
    The object is achieved in the slide bearing element mentioned at the outset in that a slide layer is arranged on the second electrical insulating layer.
    The object is further achieved in the slide bearing mentioned at the outset in that the at least one slide bearing element is designed according to the invention.
    In addition, the object of the invention is achieved with the method mentioned at the outset, according to which a sliding layer is arranged on the second electrical insulating layer.
    The advantage here is that the measuring device can be better protected against the influence of the rotating shaft by the additional arrangement of a sliding layer. In addition, a plain bearing element can be made available that is comparable in terms of tribological properties to currently known plain bearing elements, although the plain bearing element is equipped with a measurement sensor system. Due to the chosen structure of the slide bearing element, metallic layers can also be used for the sliding layer.
    According to a preferred embodiment variant of the invention, it can be provided that the sliding layer is deposited using a PVD method
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    Layer, in particular a sputter layer. These layers have the advantage that they do not have to take any further protective measures, directly on the measuring device, i.e. can be applied to the second electrical insulation layer. In addition, these sliding layers have very good tribological properties, in particular with regard to the fatigue strength, as a result of which the sliding bearing element as a whole can have better properties and the measuring device can also be better protected against negative mechanical influences.
    According to another embodiment variant of the invention, however, it can also be provided that the sliding layer is a sliding lacquer layer. Like a PVD layer, this is easy to apply, i.e. without having to take any further protective measures for the measuring device. It is also advantageous that unevenness in the surface of the measuring device on which the sliding layer is applied can be compensated for more easily.
    According to a further embodiment variant of the invention, it can be provided that an inlet layer is arranged on the sliding layer, in particular an inlet layer made of a sliding lacquer. The running-in layer allows the surfaces of the sliding partners to be adapted more quickly, which means that the sliding bearing element is only more quickly subjected to a normal operating load. Irregular or surprising overloading of the measuring device can thus be avoided better, so that it too is only more quickly exposed to the normal operating loads.
    At least one of the first and second insulating layers can be formed by ALO3 and / or SiO2 according to another embodiment variant of the invention. Compared to other electrical insulating materials, these oxides have good oxidation stability, good temperature stability and a relatively high abrasion resistance, which means that the measuring device can be exposed to higher loads.
    It is also advantageous if at least one of the first and second insulating layers has a layer thickness between 2 μm and 8 μm. Through this relative / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 thin version of the (brittle) insulating layer (s) can delaminate the
    Layers better avoided.
    According to a further embodiment variant of the invention, it can be provided that the sensor layer is formed by chromium or a chromium-nickel alloy. The adhesion between the insulating layers and the sensor layer can thus be improved, as a result of which the measuring device as a whole can be subjected to a higher load without the risk of delamination. In addition, the influence on the measuring temperature by the sensor material can be kept low.
    For the reasons given for the thickness of at least one of the insulating layers, it can be provided according to another embodiment variant of the invention that the sensor layer has a layer thickness between 0.1 μm and 4 μm.
    According to a further embodiment variant of the invention, it is preferably provided that the sensor layer is arranged at least in the most heavily loaded zone of the sliding layer, so that damage to the sliding bearing element can be detected as early as possible. At the same time, the measuring device is thus exposed to a relatively high pressure, which also counteracts delamination of the layers of the measuring device.
    For easier contacting of the sensor layer with further electrical components, it can be provided according to one embodiment variant of the invention that electrical contacts are arranged on a radially outermost layer, which are electrically conductively connected to the sensor layer. According to an embodiment variant of the invention, the plain bearing itself can have electrical contacts on the radially inner surface of the bearing receptacle, so that the contacting of the measuring device of the plain bearing element is automatically established by inserting the plain bearing element into the bearing receptacle.
    According to a further embodiment variant of the invention, it can be provided that the sensor layer is connected to a data transmission device, the data transmission device being used for wireless data transmission
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 forms. By avoiding wired data transmission, this can be done more easily to other systems, for example in a machine house or in a motor vehicle.
    To increase the self-sufficiency of the measuring device, it can be provided that the sensor layer is connected to an energy generating device. Failure of the measuring device due to lack of energy can thus be better prevented.
    According to a further embodiment variant of the invention, the sensor layer can be connected to a measuring bridge (four-wire measurement) in order to be able to better control disturbances in the measurement signal due to connection resistances or line resistances.
    Furthermore, it can be provided according to another embodiment variant of the invention that the sensor layer has a conductor loop for temperature compensation during the measurement, as a result of which the measurement value accuracy can be improved.
    In order to improve the compactness of the arrangement for determining operating parameters of the slide bearing element, it can be provided according to one embodiment variant of the invention that a recess is formed on a radial slide bearing element end face in which a telemetry device is arranged.
    However, it can also be provided that the telemetry device according to another embodiment variant of the invention is arranged on or at least partially in the bearing receptacle.
    According to one embodiment variant of the method, the sensor layer is preferably deposited over the entire surface and then structured, since the measurement device can thus be manufactured more easily and more quickly. The plain bearing element can thus be designed more economically and thus with better customer acceptance. A laser and / or at least one mask can be used for the structuring according to one embodiment variant, as a result of which the production is carried out on a large industrial scale by means of / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 can. In addition, one-off production or
    a small series production of the plain bearing elements can be easily represented.
    A further embodiment variant of the invention provides that at least one of the layers of the measuring device is produced by means of reactive sputtering, as a result of which the layer composition can be easily changed and influenced.
    For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.
    Each shows in a simplified, schematic representation:
    Figure 1 is a slide bearing element in side view.

    To begin with, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, and the disclosures contained in the entire description can be applied analogously to the same parts with the same reference numerals or the same component names. The location information selected in the description, e.g. top, bottom, side, etc. on / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 referring to the figure described and illustrated immediately, and if the position is changed, these are to be applied accordingly to the new position.
    1 shows a plain bearing element 1 in the form of a multi-layer plain bearing. The plain bearing element 1 is designed as a half-shell, so it covers an angular range of 180 °.
    Shown is a five-layer variant consisting of a first layer 2, which in this embodiment variant forms the support layer of the sliding bearing element 1, one directly on the first layer 2, i.e. on a radially inner surface of layer 2, measuring device 3 arranged, and a sliding layer 4 arranged directly on measuring device 3. Measuring device 3 consists of at least three layers, namely a first electrical insulating layer 5 lying directly on first layer 2 of sliding bearing element 1, one sensor layer 6 directly adjacent to the first electrical insulating layer 5, and a second electrical insulating layer 7 directly adjacent to the sensor layer 6.
    Although the three-layer design of the measuring device 3 is the preferred one, it can also have more than three layers. For example, at least one of the two electrical insulating layers 5, 7 consist of several partial layers arranged one above the other, which can also be composed differently. Furthermore, the sensor layer 6 can also consist of several partial layers arranged one above the other, which can also be composed differently.
    The sliding bearing element 1 can also have other layers. For example, the sliding bearing element 1 can also have a bearing metal layer 8, which is arranged between the measuring device 3 and the supporting layer of the sliding bearing element. In this case, the bearing metal layer 8 forms the above-mentioned first layer 2, so that the statements relating to the first layer 2 in this description are to be applied to the bearing metal layer 8 for this variant of the plain bearing element 1.
    / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    In addition, the sliding bearing element 1 can have further layers, such as, for example, an adhesive layer and / or a diffusion barrier layer between the bearing metal layer 8 and the supporting layer, or one on the sliding layer 4
    Running-in layer. An anti-fretting layer can also be arranged on the back of the support layer.
    Although the plain bearing element 1 is shown as a half-shell, it can also be designed differently within the scope of the invention, for example as a bearing bush. In general, plain bearing elements 1 are possible that cover an angular range that deviates from 180 °.
    The support layer consists of a material which gives the slide bearing element 1 the required structural strength, for example made of brass or bronze. In the preferred variant of the plain bearing element 1, however, it consists of a steel. If the plain bearing element 1 is designed as a direct coating, for example the radially inner surface of a bearing holder or the outer surface of a shaft, the support layer is formed by the material of the directly coated component. In addition, the support layer in this case cannot be called a conventional layer in the strict sense of the word. In connection with the invention, the term “support layer” also encompasses such designs.
    A wide variety of alloys can be used as the bearing metal layer 8. Examples of this are aluminum-based bearing metals, e.g. AlSn6CuNi, AlSn20Cu, AlSi4Cd, AlCd3CuNi, AlSi11Cu, AlSn6Cu, AlSn40, AlSn25CuMn, AlSi11CuMgNi, AlZn4Si. For example, the bearing metal layer 8 can be formed by CuPb4Sn4Zn4, CuPb5Sn5Zn5, CuPb7Sn7Zn4, CuPb9Sn5, CuPb10Sn10, CuPb15Sn7, CuPb22Sn2, CuPb20Sn4, CuPb22Sn8, CuPbPb24S5, CuPb24bNS4. A tolerance range of up to 5 percentage points applies to the information on the composition of all the alloy variants listed.
    The bearing metal layer 8 can be deposited or arranged on the support layer using a conventional method known from slide bearing technology
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 den. For example, a bimetal can be produced from the support layer and the bearing metal layer 8 by rolling the bearing metal layer 88 on.
    The bearing metal layer 8 can also be poured onto the support layer.
    If necessary, this bimetal is formed and / or machined.
    The sliding layer 4 can consist of conventional materials known for this purpose in slide bearing technology. For example, the sliding layer 4 can consist of an electrodeposited material.
    In the preferred embodiment variant, however, the sliding layer 4 is a layer deposited by means of a PVD process. The sliding layer is particularly preferably a sputter layer, in particular produced by a cathode sputtering process. For this purpose, the sliding layer 4 can be deposited in a process gas, for example consisting of or comprising argon.
    The sliding layer 4 can be made of a tin base alloy or an alloy with the base element aluminum, such as e.g. AlSn20Cu1, Al-Bi15Cu1 Ni1, or by an alloy with copper as the base element, e.g. CuPb27, CuPb25Sn3, CuPb25Ni3, or by silver or an alloy with silver as the base element, e.g. AgCu5, exist or include them.
    The following parameters can be used for the deposition using sputtering:
    Voltage on the plain bearing element blank on which the sliding layer 4 is deposited: -150 V to 0 V
    Process gas: argon
    Process gas pressure: 3x10 -4 to 6x10 -3 mbar,
    Temperature: 80 to 160 ° C
    Voltage on the target (s): -450 V to -800 V / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    Coating rate: 0.1 pm / minute to 5 pm / minute
    It is known that process gas atoms are accelerated onto a target during sputtering and knock out the metal atoms to be deposited from it, which are subsequently accelerated towards the plain bearing element blank and are deposited on its surface, so that the sliding layer 4 is built up. Since this method is known in principle, reference is made to the relevant prior art for further details.
    The deposition by means of a PVD process (gas phase deposition) is preferred since these take place away from the thermodynamic equilibrium, so that the particle diffusion and coagulation of excretions can be prevented.
    However, the sliding layer 4 can also be produced using an electron beam vapor deposition method.
    According to another embodiment variant of the sliding bearing element 1, it can be provided that the sliding layer 4 is a sliding lacquer layer, i.e. a polymer layer which is produced from a lubricating varnish, for example by spraying on or brushing on or surfacing the lubricating varnish and then drying the lubricating varnish to form the polymer layer.
    In principle, any suitable lubricating varnish can be used as lubricating varnish that has sufficient abrasion resistance and sufficient lubricity. For example, a PTFE-based lubricant can be used.
    However, a polyamide-based lubricating varnish is preferably used, in particular based on a polyamideimide which contains at least one solid lubricant, such as MoS2, graphite, hexagonal BN, etc. It is further preferred if the lubricating varnish contains both MoS2 and graphite as solid lubricants.
    The polymer layer which is formed from the lubricating varnish after it has been applied to the measuring device 3 can have a composition of 20% by weight to 45% by weight of polyamideimide, 30% by weight to 55% by weight of MoS2 and 10% by weight. -% to 25/36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    % By weight of graphite, with the proviso that the sum of all components of the polymer layer adds up to 100% by weight.
    To increase the mechanical strength, the polymer layer can contain further additives in a total proportion of at most 10% by weight, such as fibers, hard materials, e.g. Carbides, oxides, nitrides, for example CrO2, Fe3Ü4, ZnO, ALOs, SiO2, SiC, SisN4, etc.
    The polymer layer can have a layer thickness which is selected from a range from 1 μm to 40 μm, in particular from 3 μm to 30 μm.
    The polymer layer advantageously has a Vickers hardness selected from a range from 20 HV (0.01) to 45 HV (0.01).
    As already stated above, on the sliding layer 4, i.e. an inlet layer may also be arranged on the radially inner surface thereof. In this embodiment variant, the sliding layer 4 is preferably designed as a PVD layer, in particular sputter layer, and the running-in layer as a polymer layer, which is made from a sliding lacquer. With regard to the materials for this, reference is made to the above explanations.
    According to a preferred embodiment, the first and / or the second electrical insulating layer 5, 7 comprise or consist of Al2Os and / or SiO2. In the preferred embodiment variant, both the first electrical insulation layer 5 and the second insulation layer 7 comprise or consist of Al2Os and / or SiO2.
    The first and / or the second insulating layer 5, 7 can, however, also consist of other electrically insulating materials, such as ZrO2
    For the reasons mentioned above, the first and / or the second insulating layer 5, 7 (particularly preferably both insulating layers 5, 7) preferably have a layer thickness 9 which is selected from a range from 2 μm to 8 μm, in particular from a range from 3 μm to 5 μm.
    / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    According to a further preferred embodiment variant, the sensor layer 6 comprises or consists of chromium or a chromium-nickel alloy. The chromium-nickel alloy can in particular have a chromium content between 15% by weight and 25% by weight. The rest of 100% by weight is made up of nickel. For example, the chromium-nickel alloy can have 20% by weight of chromium and 80% by weight of nickel.
    However, the sensor layer 6 can also consist of other electrically conductive materials or comprise them, such as Ag, Pt, Cu-based materials such as CuNiMn.
    For the reasons mentioned above, the sensor layer 6 preferably has a layer thickness 10 which is selected from a range from 0.1 μm to 4 μm, in particular from a range from 0.2 μm to 2 μm.
    With the measuring device 3, in particular with the sensor layer 6, it is possible to record at least one operating parameter during the operation of the sliding bearing element 1, such as in particular the temperature and / or the pressure in the lubricant gap of a sliding bearing equipped with the sliding bearing element 1. For this, the change in electrical conductivity can be recorded.
    The sensor layer 6 can be structured accordingly for the acquisition of the measured value, as is shown by way of example in FIG. 2. For the better representation of this structuring, the illustration of the second electrical insulating layer 7 and the sliding layer 4 (both shown in FIG. 1) has been omitted in FIG. 2.
    However, it should be pointed out that the arrangement of conductor tracks 11 shown specifically in FIG. 2 is only exemplary and not of a limiting character. Depending on the parameters to be measured, other topographies of the sensor layer 6 are also possible.
    For the production of the conductor tracks 11, in the preferred embodiment variant of the method, after the first layer 2 has been deposited on the radially inner surface, the first electrical insulating layer 5 is first deposited
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 divorce. This is preferably deposited on the entire radially inner surface of the first layer 2, but can also be deposited only at the point or points at which the sensor layer 6 is arranged in the finished slide bearing element 1.
    The sensor layer 6 is then deposited on this first electrical insulating layer 5. Again, this is preferably deposited over the entire radially inner surface of the first electrical insulating layer 5. However, it can also be deposited only at the location or locations (likewise preferably over the entire surface) at which the sensor layer 6 is arranged in the finished plain bearing element 1.
    After the sensor layer 6 has been deposited, it is structured to form the conductor tracks 11. The areas of the sensor layer 6 in which no conductor tracks 11 are arranged are removed again. The originally preferably full-surface sensor layer 6 thus becomes a sensor layer 6 arranged only in discrete areas of the first electrical insulating layer 5.
    It should be pointed out that it is sufficient to remove only the areas of the sensor layer 6 in the area next to the conductor tracks 11. Areas of the sensor layer 6 in which no conductor tracks are arranged, that is to say for example in the embodiment of FIG. 2 in the region of end faces 12 pointing in the circumferential direction, the originally deposited sensor layer 6 can optionally remain untreated.
    The second electrical insulating layer 7 is then deposited onto the structured sensor layer 6 on its radially inner surface and the sliding layer 4 is deposited on its radially inner surface. A slide bearing element 1 with at least one integrated thin-film sensor has thus been created.
    The first electrical insulation layer 5 and / or the second electrical insulation layer 7 and / or the sensor layer 6 are preferably deposited by means of a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) method, in particular using a sputtering method, preferably using magnetron sputtering technology. Further in / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 of the preferred embodiment variant of the method, a planar magnetron is used, i.e. a magnetron with a planar target.
    Both the first and the second electrical insulating layers 5, 7 and the sensor layer 6 are particularly preferably produced using this method.
    The following parameters can be used for the deposition of the layers:
    Sensor layer 6:
    Voltage on the plain bearing element blank: -150 V to 0 V
    Process gas mixture: argon, oxygen
    Process gas pressure: 3x10 -4 mbar to 6x10 -3 mbar,
    Temperature: 100 ° C to 160 ° C
    Voltage at the target (s): -450 V to -800 V
    Coating rate: 0.1 pm / minute to 2 pm / minute
    Insulating layer 5, 7:
    Voltage on the plain bearing element blank: -120 V to 0 V
    Process gas mixture: argon, oxygen
    Process gas pressure: 3x10 -4 mbar to 6x10 -3 mbar,
    Volume mixing ratio argon to oxygen> = 1.5: 1
    Temperature: 100 ° C to 160 ° C
    Voltage on the target (s): -350 V to -700 V
    Coating rate: 0.1 pm / minute to 1.5 pm / minute / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    It can be provided that the transition between the individual layers is formed abruptly or that these gradually merge into one another. For example, the transition from the second insulating layer 7 to the sliding layer 4 can be formed from Al2Ü3 via AlxOy (x: y> 2: 3) via Al via AlSnx (x <20) to AlSn20Cu. Alternatively or additionally, starting from the first insulating layer 5 to the sensor layer 6, the layer sequence can look as follows: Al2O3 -> AlxOy (x: y> 2: 3) -> Al -> material of the sensor layer. The layer thickness of the transition from the second insulating layer 7 to the sliding layer 4 can be between 0.05 μm and 1.5 μm. The layer thickness of the transition from the first insulating layer 5 to the sensor layer 6 can be between 0.001 μm and 0.1 μm.
    According to a further embodiment variant of the method, it is possible for at least one of the first and the second electrical insulation layers 5, 7 and the sensor layer 6 (preferably the first and the second insulation layer 5, 7) to be produced by means of reactive sputtering. The at least one layer of atoms from the target and atoms from the gas atmosphere is produced in the deposition chamber in which the coating is carried out. A reactive gas is used for this. Alternatively, this reactive gas can also be obtained from an appropriately composed target, e.g. Oxygen can be released. The reactive gas or its ionized components react chemically with the target material or the atoms generated therefrom. The resulting connections are then reflected on the plain bearing element blank used. In this way, for example, reactive aluminum sputtering in an oxygen plasma can produce Al2O3. If the reaction takes place at the target, the reaction product is consequently sputtered.
    The parameters mentioned above can be used for reactive sputtering of the layers.
    In addition to the aforementioned deposition processes, other suitable deposition processes can also be used, at least for individual layers, for example wet chemical deposition processes (e.g. galvanic processes), or deposition by means of electron beam vapor deposition processes. There is also the possibility of mask vapor deposition or mask sputtering.

    The structuring of the sensor layer 6 is carried out according to one embodiment variant of the method by means of energy radiation, preferably using a laser and / or using at least one mask. For this purpose, an ultrashort pulse laser, preferably a so-called femtosecond laser, is used in particular as the laser. The advantage here is the exact and residue-free removal of the smallest quantities of material without significantly influencing the substrate by heat transfer.
    The following parameters can be used for structuring the sensor layer 6 by means of a laser:
    Pulse durations: ps / fs range
    Pulse energy: 1 pJ to 100 pJ
    Pulse repetition frequencies from 1 kHz to 800 MHz
    Wavelength in the range of 1 μm as it is commercially available.
    Focusing approx. 10 μm to 100 μm (= processing resolution)
    Preferably focused radiation, but it is also conceivable to work with imaging or with beam shaping components
    If necessary, additional masks (e.g. made of metal) can be used with the laser, with which surface areas that cannot be removed are shadowed by the influence of the laser.
    The structuring of the sensor layer 6 can, however, also be carried out using other methods, if appropriate again using masks, for example by means of wet chemical etching methods or by dry etching methods, such as e.g. Bombardment of the surface to be structured with argon ions or with plasma-activated gases.
    According to a variant of the plain bearing element 1, the measuring device 3 is arranged in the most heavily loaded zone of the sliding layer 4, i.e. in / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 radial direction above this zone. The most polluted zone in the
    The sliding layer 4 is the upper sliding bearing element 1 in a connecting rod bearing and the lower sliding bearing element 1 in a so-called main bearing.
    For contacting the sensor layer 6 with further electrical or electronic components, it can be provided that the conductor tracks 11 lead into the area of axial end faces 13 of the slide bearing element 1 (ie the end faces 13 which are viewed in the axial direction) and on these axial end faces 13 contact points are formed, which can be electrically connected to mating contact points.
    According to another embodiment variant of the plain bearing element 1, it can also be provided that electrical contacts 15 are arranged on a radially outermost layer of the plain bearing element 1, for example a support layer 14, which are electrically conductively connected to the sensor layer 6, as shown in FIG. 3 is. 3 shows a sliding bearing element 1 with a radially outer support layer 14, the bearing metal layer 8 arranged thereon, the first electrical insulating layer 5 arranged thereon, the sensor layer 6 arranged thereon, the second electrical insulating layer 7 arranged thereon and the sliding layer 4 arranged thereon. whereby individual layers have been partially removed to better illustrate the layer structure.
    In this embodiment variant, the radially outermost layer is the support layer 14 already mentioned in the description of FIG. 1. However, in the case of a different layer structure, the radially outermost layer can also be formed by another layer.
    For connecting the sensor layer 6 to the electrical contacts, openings 16, in particular bores, can be provided through the layers of the slide bearing element 1 arranged radially above the sensor layer 6, which are coated with an electrically conductive material, e.g. Copper or the material of the sensor layer 6 are filled or in which this material is arranged.

    The counterparts of these contacts 15 can be arranged on a bearing receptacle 17 according to a further embodiment of the plain bearing, as shown in FIG. 4 is shown. This figure shows a part of the plain bearing, namely a bearing cover, which forms the bearing seat 17. The bearing cap can be part of a connecting rod, for example. The at least one slide bearing element 1 (optionally with a spread) is arranged in a manner adjacent to a radially inner surface 18 of the bearing receptacle 17, as is known per se. Electrical contacts 19 are arranged on this radially inner surface 18, on the one hand the contacts 15 of the slide bearing element 1 (FIG. 3) abut, and on the other hand electrically connected to further electrical or electronic components.
    The electrical contacts 19 on the bearing receptacle 17 are generally positioned such that the electrical contacts 15 of the slide bearing element 1 abut against these electrical contacts 19 of the bearing receptacle due to its installation in the bearing receptacle 17. In the embodiment variant of the bearing receptacle 17 shown in FIG. 4, electrical contacts 19 are thus arranged next to a separating surface 20 of the bearing cover, so that they can be electrically conductively connected to the electrical contacts 15 of the slide bearing element 1 according to FIG. 4.
    Although it was stated above that the electrical contacts 15 can be arranged in the region of the end face 12 (FIG. 2), they can generally be located on the bearing back, i.e. the outer surface of the plain bearing element 1, are arranged. The electrical contacts 19 of the bearing holder 17 are accordingly positioned differently on the surface 18 of the bearing holder 17.
    It is mentioned at this point that different design variants of the slide bearing element 1 are shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the same reference numerals or component names being used for the same parts. In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, reference is made to the detailed description of the respective (other) figure (s).

    According to another embodiment variant of the slide bearing element 1, which is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, it can be provided that the sensor layer 6 is connected to an energy generating device 21. With the aid of this energy generating device 21, it is possible to switch the at least one sensor, i.e. to supply the sensor layer 21 independently with electrical energy, so that no wired connections of the sliding bearing element 1 to the outside are required for this.
    The at least one energy generating device 21 (more than one energy generating device 21 can also be arranged) is arranged in or on the at least one sliding bearing element 1 in the exemplary embodiment of the sliding bearing shown, for example in a recess 22 in the sliding bearing element 1, as can be seen in FIG. 6 which shows a detail of the plain bearing of FIG. 5. However, it should be pointed out that this specifically illustrated arrangement of the energy generating device 21 has no restrictive character, but only serves to explain the invention. The arrangement can also be designed differently.
    The energy generating device 21 has at least one piezo element 23, which is shown in FIG. 6. Depending on the amount of energy required, more than one piezo element 23 can also be arranged in the slide bearing arrangement 1 for generating electrical energy, for example in the form of a piezo element package.
    The at least one piezo element 23 can also be a multilayer stack, i.e. a multilayer piezo element 23 with a plurality of piezoelectric elements arranged one above the other.
    The piezo element 23 can have any cross-sectional shape, for example a circular or a square one, e.g. a square.
    This piezo element 23 can be arranged prestressed under pressure. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 6, a pressure bar 24 can be arranged resting on the piezo element 23. The pressure beam 24 can be attached via two screws 25.
    / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    Alternatively, it can be provided, as shown in FIG. 7, that an adjusting screw 26 is arranged above the piezo element 23, with the adjustment of which one
    Change in the pressure acting on the piezo element 23 can be made.
    In principle, the at least one piezo element 23 can also be preloaded under pressure, for example by means of a spring element, etc.
    Preferably, the at least one piezo element 23 is not rotated by the bias, i.e. that the two end faces (upper and lower end faces) of the piezo element 23 are not twisted against one another along the longitudinal central axis by the piezo element 23 due to the bracing.
    In the arrangement of the bias voltage described, the piezo element 23 is arranged free-standing on or in the slide bearing element 1, as can be seen from FIG. 6. However, there is also the possibility that the piezo element 23 is arranged in a recess which corresponds to the size and shape of the cross section of that of the piezo element 23, so that it can be inserted into the recess and is also laterally supported or guided into this recess can.
    It should only be pointed out for the sake of completeness that the functioning of a piezo element is not reproduced, since this is described in detail in the literature and is also known to the person skilled in the art.
    The at least one piezo element 8 can be prestressed under a pressure which is selected from a range from 5 MPa to 50 MPa, in particular from 5 MPa to 30 MPa.
    The at least one piezo element 23 can consist, for example, of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) or barium titanate. However, other piezoelectric materials can also be used.
    / 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00
    The energy generating device 21 can also be formed by other elements, for example an inductive energy supply device 21 or one
    Energy generating device 21 which uses the Seebeck effect.
    According to another embodiment variant of the plain bearing element 1, it is also possible for the sensor layer 6 to be connected to a data transmission device 27 which is arranged in or on the plain bearing element 1, as is also shown schematically in FIG. 5. The data transmission device 27 is preferably designed for wireless data transmission, for example via Bluetooth and / or Zygbee and / or Wlan and / or LoWPAN and / or ZigBee and / or ANT / ANT, etc. be supplied.
    For the above reasons, a four-wire measurement method is preferably used, for example in the form of a Wheatstone bridge. Another method can also be used, e.g. a constant current process.
    In order not to be able to compensate for temperature influences on the measurement which are related to the measurement result, according to a further embodiment variant there is the possibility that the sensor layer 6 has an additional conductor loop 28 for the temperature compensation during the measurement, as can be seen from FIG. 3 .
    Fig. 9 shows an embodiment of a plain bearing in the form of a connecting rod. This connecting rod has a connecting rod shaft 29 which forms part of the large connecting rod eye and thus part of the bearing seat 17. On and / or at least partially in the connecting rod shaft and / or on and / or at least partially in the bearing seat 17, a telemetry device or components thereof, such as e.g. the data transmission device 27, the energy generating device 21, a microprocessor 30, an analog-digital converter 31, etc. can be arranged.
    However, it is also possible that, according to another embodiment variant of the slide bearing element 1, it is provided that on the radial end face 12 of the slide bearing 36
    N2015 / 24300-AT-00 gerelementes 1 at least one recess 32 is formed, which extends from there in the bearing back, as can be seen from Fig. 9. At least a part of the telemetry device can be arranged in this recess, such as the microprocessor 30 (FIG. 8).
    The exemplary embodiments show possible design variants, it being noted at this point that various combinations of the individual design variants with one another are also possible.
    For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the structure of the slide bearing element 1 or of the slide bearing, these are not necessarily shown to scale.
