Definitions
- the invention relates to a hydraulic control device for rotating the camshaft of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of the main claim.
- a hydraulic control device for rotating the camshaft of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of the main claim.
- the pump and the solenoid valve are arranged externally, which is relatively cumbersome, in particular with regard to the necessary pressure medium connections, but also requires considerable construction effort (DE-OS 32 47 916).
- the hydraulic control device according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that it has a very compact construction and is very easy to install in an internal combustion engine or in its engine compartment. Further advantages of the invention result from the subclaims. drawing
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section in FIG. 1 of a first exemplary embodiment of a hydraulic control device for rotating the camshaft of an internal combustion engine, in FIG. 2 a modification of this exemplary embodiment and in FIG. 3 a detail.
- 10 denotes the camshaft of an internal combustion engine, which is mounted in the camshaft bearing block 11 of the internal combustion engine.
- the camshaft has a continuous longitudinal bore 12 into which the sleeve-shaped extension 13 of an approximately cup-shaped flange part 14 projects.
- a sprocket 15 for driving the camshaft 12 connects to the end face of the flange part, followed by a cylinder-shaped hydraulic body 16.
- the parts 12 to 16 are held together by screws 17 in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the parts mentioned form an interior cavity 18 in which a coupling member 20 is arranged. This has a shaft 21 which projects into the extension 13 of the flange part 14.
- a straight toothing 22 is formed on the outer circumference of the shaft 21 and engages with such straight toothing 23 on the inner circumference of the sleeve-shaped extension.
- the shaft 21 of the coupling member 20 is followed as an integral part by a cup-shaped ring part 24 which has helical teeth 25 on its outer circumference, which engages with such helical teeth 26 on the inner circumference of the chain wheel 15. Dips into the cavity 28 of the coupling member or its ring part 24 a piston 29, which always lies against the bottom 30 of the coupling member.
- the piston 29 is mounted in a central, continuous bore 31 of the hydraulic body 16 and delimits a pressure space 32 there.
- a deep, axially extending annular groove 34 is also formed, in which a compression spring 35 is arranged, which is located on the Bottom of the flange part 14 supports and always brings the coupling member 20 into contact with the piston 29.
- a plurality of eccentric, but concentric and axially running bores 36 are formed in the hydraulic body 16, in which pump bodies 37 are arranged, which receive pistons 39 in their bores 38. These are supported with their tips on an inclined swash plate 40 which bears against an inclined, annular web surface 41 of a plate 42 fixed to the housing. From this it can be seen that this is an axial piston pump 43.
- Each pump body 37 has two web-like extensions 44 45 which engage in corresponding recesses 46, 47 of the swash plate 40.
- a channel 51 leads into the pressure chamber 32 from a point behind the outlet valve.
- annular groove 53 opens into which a transverse bore 54 arranged in the pump body 37 opens, which in turn leads into a longitudinal groove 55 on the outer circumference of the pump body and adjacent the hydraulic body 16 lying.
- the longitudinal groove 55 in turn opens into an angled channel 56, which has a connection to an annular space 57 in the hydraulic body 16. From the annular space 57 there is a connection to the straight toothing 22, 23 on the coupling member 20 via the helical teeth 25, 26 and a subsequent channel 58.
- an annular groove 59 is formed, into which a transverse bore 60 arranged in the camshaft 10 opens, which in turn has a connection to a transverse bore 61 in the camshaft bearing block 11. There is a connection from the transverse bore 61 to an oil reservoir 63 via a bore 62 formed in the cylinder head.
- a solenoid valve 65 connects to the pressure chamber 32 and operates in a flow-proportional manner and thus forms a proportional pressure control valve.
- This has a coil 66, which is arranged in a coil body 67, which simultaneously forms a cover 68.
- the armature 69 in which a plunger 70 is fixed, is located within the coil former 67. This slides in a pole disk 71, which in turn rests on a plate 72 closing the bore 31.
- a through hole 73 is formed in this, which is monitored by the spherical valve body 74 of the electromagnetic valve 65 or actuated by the plunger 70.
- transverse channel 77 - that is to say it is arranged at the outlet of the solenoid valve - and opens into the recess 78 in the hydraulic body 16.
- the pump bodies 37 are held in place by screws 76 which penetrate the flange part 14, the chain wheel 15 and the hydraulic body 16. So that the camshaft 10 can rotate relative to the sprocket 15, bushes 75 penetrated by these sprockets through the sprocket 17 are arranged on the passages of the screws 17, 76 and lie in corresponding arcuate slots 75 A of the sprocket.
- the hydraulic control device works as follows: when the camshaft 10 is set in rotation by the chain wheel 15, the flange part 14 and the hydraulic body 16 also rotate.
- the pistons 39 of the axial piston pump now carry out stroke movements 40 due to their abutment on the swash plate. They suck in pressure medium from the container 63 via the following connection: transverse bores 62, 61, 60, annular groove 59, straight toothing 22, 23, channel 58, helical toothing 25, 26, annular space 57 in the hydraulic body 16, channel 56, longitudinal groove 55, transverse bore 54 and annular groove 53 on the piston bore 38.
- the compression spring 35 displaces the coupling member 20 to the left (in the direction of the solenoid valve 65), the camshaft 10 being rotated relative to the sprocket 15 via the toothings described. It takes a first position. With the solenoid valve energized to the maximum, the valve body 74 is pressed onto its valve seat by the action of the armature 69 and the plunger 70. The pressure in the pressure chamber 32 then reaches its maximum value and shifts the piston 29 to the right, which in turn moves the coupling member 20 the toothing described above, the camshaft 10 is now rotated relative to the sprocket 15 in a second position. When the solenoid valve is partially steamed, the coupling element can be brought into any intermediate position and thus also the camshaft.
- the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from the previous one essentially in that the hydraulic body is designed somewhat differently. It now consists of two parts 80, 81, of which part 81 directly adjoins and is screwed to the camshaft, and part 80 - referred to here as a pump body - is also screwed to the camshaft. (Here, however, the screws are the other way around, but this is not essential to the invention at all.)
- the pump body 80 is not rotationally symmetrical and consists of a sleeve which - as stated above - is screwed to the camshaft by screws.
- the pump body has only been dealt with briefly, since its internal structure again largely resembles that of the previous exemplary embodiment. The same parts as there are labeled with the same numbers. What is different is the supply and discharge of the pressure medium to the pump body.
- a spring washer 82 is arranged between the pump body 80 and the part 81, as is shown in plan view in FIG. 3. At the same time, it forms the outlet valve in the form of a spring tongue 83, which has a thickening 84 at its end, which bears against the outlet bore 85 of the piston bore 86.
- the spring washer is held by a fixing pin, not shown.
- the suction bore 87 runs in the pump body 80, in which there is also a suction throttle 88, which is connected to the bore 87 A in the Spring washer 82 is connected.
- the suction bore 87 leads to the space 57, which is connected to the pressure medium reservoir.
- the outlet bore 85 has a connection to the pressure chamber 32 via a channel 89.
- a wire clamp 91 is provided which holds the swash plate with the pump pistons under spring pressure in the preassembled adjusting unit. However, this has not been discussed further.
- the solenoid valve - designated 93 - is also slightly modified compared to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1.
- a longitudinal groove 95 is formed in the coil former 94.
- Voltage can also be applied to the solenoid valves described in both exemplary embodiments with a frequency of approximately one hundred Hertz and a variable pulse duty factor.
- Duty cycle is understood to mean the ratio of the duration of energization of the electromagnet to the total period of the applied voltage. With a small duty cycle, the solenoid valve is only closed briefly. The opening cross-section at the same time falls with the duty cycle.

Abstract
Système de commande hydraulique pour la rotation de l'arbre à cames (10) d'un moteur à combustion interne. La roue à chaîne (15) entraînée par le moteur à combustion interne est reliée à l'arbre à cames (10) par le biais d'un élément d'accouplement (20), d'une denture hélicoïdale (25, 26) et d'une denture droite (22, 23). Le déplacement de l'élément d'accouplement (20) engendre une rotation relative entre la roue à chaîne (15) et l'arbre à cames (10). Le déplacement de l'élément d'accouplement s'opère par l'intermédiaire d'un piston hydraulique (29) actionné par une pompe à pistons axiaux (36) à (40), logée dans le système de commande. Cette pompe à pistons axiaux aspire le liquide de pression dans un réservoir situé dans le moteur à combustion interne et l'achemine par des soupapes de sortie (50) à la chambre de pression (32) au niveau du piston (29). Ce dernier est raccordé à une soupape de refoulement proportionnelle (65) que l'on peut actionner de manière électromagnétique et qui est commandée par l'actionnement approprié de l'électro-aimant, augmentant ainsi ou réduisant la pression à l'intérieur de la chambre de pression (32). Le pilotage de la pression dans la chambre de pression provoque la mise en rotation relative de l'élément d'accouplement (20) et de l'arbre à cames (10) par rapport à la roue à chaîne (15).Hydraulic control system for the rotation of the camshaft (10) of an internal combustion engine. The chain wheel (15) driven by the internal combustion engine is connected to the camshaft (10) by means of a coupling element (20), of a helical toothing (25, 26) and straight teeth (22, 23). The movement of the coupling element (20) generates a relative rotation between the chain wheel (15) and the camshaft (10). The displacement of the coupling element takes place by means of a hydraulic piston (29) actuated by an axial piston pump (36) to (40), housed in the control system. This axial piston pump draws the pressure liquid from a reservoir located in the internal combustion engine and routes it through outlet valves (50) to the pressure chamber (32) at the piston (29). The latter is connected to a proportional discharge valve (65) which can be actuated electromagnetically and which is controlled by the appropriate actuation of the electromagnet, thereby increasing or reducing the pressure inside the pressure chamber (32). Piloting the pressure in the pressure chamber causes the coupling element (20) and the camshaft (10) to rotate relative to the chain wheel (15).
