Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Zylinderkopf.The present invention relates to a cylinder head.

Um bei Brennkraftmaschinen eine optimale Brennraumform zu verwirklichen, ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, Zylinderköpfe mit zu den Zylinderachsen radial geneigten Gaswechselventilen auszustatten. Bei solchen Zylinderköpfen stößt die Unterbringung des auf die radialen Gaswechselventile aufbauenden Ventiltriebs jedoch auf Probleme.In order to achieve an optimal combustion chamber shape in internal combustion engines, it is known from the prior art to include cylinder heads with the cylinder axes radially inclined gas exchange valves. In such The cylinder heads encounter the housing on the radial gas exchange valves building valve train on problems.

Als Beispiel hierfür wird die Mehrventil-Brennkraftmaschine aus der Druckschrift EP 0 144 179 B1 angeführt. Diese Brennkraftmaschine weist einen Zylinderkopf mit fünf Gaswechselventilen auf, deren Achsen sich in einem gemeinsamen Punkt auf der Zylinderachse schneiden. Zur Ansteuerung dieser Ventile ist eine einzige Nockenwelle vorgesehen, welche etwa mittig zwischen den Einlaßventilen und den Auslaßventilen angeordnet ist. Oberhalb oder unterhalb dieser Nockenwelle sind dort zwei Steckachsen für die Ventilbetätigungshebel vorgesehen, so daß der Zylinderkopf sehr hochbauend ausgeführt ist.The multi-valve internal combustion engine from the publication is an example of this EP 0 144 179 B1. This internal combustion engine has one Cylinder head with five gas exchange valves, whose axes are in one Cut common point on the cylinder axis. To control this Valves, a single camshaft is provided, which is approximately in the middle between the inlet valves and the outlet valves is arranged. Above or below this camshaft there are two thru axles for the valve actuation levers provided so that the cylinder head is very high is executed.

Ein anderes Beispiel kann aus der Druckschrift US 4,558,667 entnommen werden, welche einen Ventiltrieb für eine Brennkraftmaschine betrifft. Dieser Ventiltrieb treibt vier radial angeordnete Gaswechselventile, indem jedes Gaswechselventil von zwei zueinander senkrecht stehenden Ventilbetätigungshebeln beaufschlagt wird und indem für die Ventilbetätigungshebel parallel sowie senkrecht zu den Einlaß- und Auslaßnockenwellen angeordnete Steckachsen vorgesehen sind. Aufgrund der doppelten Anzahl von Ventilbetätigungshebeln und Steckachsen ist leicht einzusehen, daß auch die Unterbringung dieses Ventiltriebs Probleme aufwirft.Another example can be found in US Pat. No. 4,558,667 , which relates to a valve train for an internal combustion engine. This Valve train drives four radially arranged gas exchange valves by each Gas exchange valve from two mutually perpendicular valve actuation levers is acted upon and by parallel for the valve actuation lever and arranged perpendicular to the intake and exhaust camshafts Thru axles are provided. Due to the double number of valve actuation levers and thru axles is easy to see that the Housing this valve train poses problems.

Aus der US 5,673,660 ist ein Zylinderkopf gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 mit einer Einlaßnockenwelle und einer Auslaßnockenwelle bekannt, bei der eine Zünd- oder Einspritzvorrichtung zur Zylinderachse im wesentlichen parallel angeordnet ist und Einlaßventil und Auslaßventil zur Zylinderachse im wesentlichen radial geneigt sind. Der Zylinderkopf weist stehende Ausgleichselemente und Ventilbetätigungshebel auf. Die Ventilbetätigungshebel weisen von den Ein- oder Auslaßventilen ausgehend in Richtung quer zur Motorlängsachse nach außen weg, wo sie auf Ausgleichselementen gelagert sind. Diese Ausbildung der Anordnung von Ventil, Ventilbetätigungshebel und Ausgleichselementen und somit des gesamten Motors ist sehr raumgreifend.From US 5,673,660 is a cylinder head according to the preamble of claim 1 with an intake camshaft and an exhaust camshaft known in which an ignition or injection device is arranged substantially parallel to the cylinder axis and inlet valve and the exhaust valve is substantially radially inclined to the cylinder axis are. The cylinder head has standing compensating elements and valve actuation levers on. The valve actuation levers point from the intake or exhaust valves starting in the direction transverse to the engine longitudinal axis to the outside away where they are stored on compensating elements. This training the Arrangement of valve, valve actuation lever and compensating elements and thus the entire engine is very space-consuming.

Es ist somit Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Zylinderkopf zu realisieren, der eine optimale Brennraumform erlaubt und gleichzeitig einen platzsparend untergebrachten Ventiltrieb aufweist. It is therefore an object of the present invention to implement a cylinder head which allows an optimal combustion chamber shape and at the same time one has space-saving valve train.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Zylinderkopf mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Indem der Zylinderkopf eine Einlaßnockenwelle und eine Auslaßnockenwelle aufweist, pro Zylinder eine Zünd- oder Einspritzvorrichtung, die zur Zylinderachse im wesentlichen parallel angeordnet ist, Einlaßventile und Auslaßventile, die zur Zylinderachse im wesentlichen radial geneigt sind, stehende Ausgleichselemente und Ventilbetätigungshebel aufweist, wobei die Ausgleichselemente benachbart zu der Zünd- oder Einspritzvorrichtung angeordnet sind, und die Ventilbetätigungshebel jeweils mit ihrem einen Ende an einem der Ein- oder Auslaßventile angreifen, von den Schaftenden der radialen Ein- oder Auslaßventile nach innen weisen und mit ihrem anderen Ende auf einem der stehenden Ausgleichselemente gelagert sind, begünstigt der Zylinderkopf eine optimale Brennraumform und ist zugleich sehr kompakt und damit platzsparend aufgebaut. Denn die Ventilbetätigungshebel weisen von den Schaftenden der radialen Ein- und Auslaßventile nach innen, wo sie auf den stehenden Ausgleichselementen neben der Zünd- oder Einspritzeinrichtung gelagert sind. Oberhalb der Ventilbetätigungshebel ist die Einlaßnockenwelle beziehungsweise die Auslaßnockenwelle angeordnet, die jeweils am Mittenbereich der Ventilbetätigungshebel anliegt.This task is solved by a cylinder head with the characteristics of Claim 1. By the cylinder head an intake camshaft and an exhaust camshaft has an ignition or injection device per cylinder, which is arranged substantially parallel to the cylinder axis, intake valves and exhaust valves which are substantially radially inclined to the cylinder axis, has standing compensating elements and valve actuating lever, wherein the compensating elements adjacent to the ignition or injection device are arranged, and the valve actuating lever each with one end attack one of the intake or exhaust valves from the stem ends of the radial inlet or outlet valves face inwards and with their other End on one of the standing compensating elements are favored the cylinder head has an optimal combustion chamber shape and is also very compact and thus built up to save space. Because the valve actuation levers point from the stem ends of the radial intake and exhaust valves to the inside where they on the standing compensation elements next to the ignition or injection device are stored. The intake camshaft is above the valve actuation lever or the exhaust camshaft, respectively the valve actuation lever rests on the center area.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Ausbildung gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 10, bei dem die Ventilbetätigungshebel zu Einlaß- und zu Auslaßnockenwelle senkrecht orientiert sind, wobei die Ventilbetätigungshebel mit ihrem einen Ende an einem der Ein- oder Auslaßventile angreifen und mit ihrem anderen Ende auf einem der stehenden Ausgleichselemente gelagert sind.The training according to the features of the claim is particularly advantageous 10, in which the valve operating levers to the intake and exhaust camshafts are oriented vertically, the valve actuating lever with its attack one end of one of the intake or exhaust valves and with their other end mounted on one of the standing compensating elements are.

Vorteilhaft schneiden oder tangieren die Einlaßnockenwelle und die Auslaßnockenwelle den Zylinder in einer Projektion entlang der Zylinderachse. Durch dieses Merkmal ist verwirklicht, daß die beiden Nockenwellen eng nebeneinander liegen und daß der Zylinderkopf trotz der radial geneigten Einund Auslaßventile in Achsrichtung der Nockenwellen relativ schmalbauend ist. The intake camshaft and the exhaust camshaft advantageously cut or tangent the cylinder in a projection along the cylinder axis. This feature realizes that the two camshafts are close together lie and that the cylinder head despite the radially inclined Einund Exhaust valves in the axial direction of the camshafts are relatively narrow is.

In einer besonderen Ausführungsform weist die Einlaßnockenwelle und die Auslaßnockenwelle zur Anlage an den dazu senkrecht orientierten Ventilbetätigungshebeln schräge Nockenkonturen auf. Mittels der schrägen Nockenkonturen können die beiden Nockenwellen die mit den radial geneigten Einund Auslaßventilen zusammenwirkenden Ventilbetätigungshebel querkräftefrei betätigen.In a particular embodiment, the intake camshaft and the Exhaust camshaft for contact with the valve actuation levers oriented perpendicular to it oblique cam contours. By means of the oblique cam contours can the two camshafts with the radially inclined Einund Exhaust valves interacting valve actuation lever free of lateral forces actuate.

Die Zünd- oder Einspritzvorrichtung kann gegenüber der Zylinderachse in Richtung zur Auslaßnockenwelle versetzt angeordnet sein. Denn bei einer gleichen Anzahl von Ein- und Auslaßventilen pro Zylinder sind die Ventilteller der Einlaßventile zur Begünstigung des Gaswechsels meist größer als die Ventilteller der Auslaßventile, so daß die Zünd- oder Einspritzvorrichtung unter Berücksichtigung der räumlichen Gegebenheiten zur Auslaßnockenwelle beziehungsweise zur Auslaßseite hin versetzt angeordnet ist. Dies gilt natürlich auch dann, wenn pro Zylinder eine größere Anzahl von Einlaßventilen als Auslaßventile vorgesehen ist.The ignition or injection device can in relation to the cylinder axis Direction to the exhaust camshaft be arranged offset. Because with one The valve plates have the same number of intake and exhaust valves per cylinder the inlet valves to favor the gas exchange mostly larger than that Valve plate of the exhaust valves, so that the ignition or injection device taking into account the spatial conditions for the exhaust camshaft or is arranged offset to the outlet side. this applies of course, even if there are a large number of intake valves per cylinder is provided as exhaust valves.

Bevorzugt weisen die Ein- und die Auslaßventile in einer Projektion entlang der Achsrichtung der Ein- und Auslaßnockenwelle unterschiedlich große Neigungswinkel auf. Denn damit wird bei einer gleichen Anzahl von Einlaßund Auslaßventilen pro Zylinder die Brennraumform optimiert, indem die Einlaßventile mit den größeren Ventiltellem zur Zylinderachse weniger stark geneigt sind als die Auslaßventile mit den kleineren Ventiltellern.The inlet and outlet valves preferably point along in a projection the axial direction of the intake and exhaust camshafts of different sizes Angle of inclination. Because with an equal number of admission and Exhaust valves per cylinder optimized the shape of the combustion chamber by the Intake valves with the larger valve plates to the cylinder axis less strong are inclined than the outlet valves with the smaller valve plates.

Gleichermaßen bevorzugt weisen die Ein- und die Auslaßventile in einer Projektion senkrecht zur Achsrichtung der Ein- und Auslaßnockenwelle jeweils gleich große Neigungswinkel auf. Somit kann der Ventiltrieb dennoch eine gewisse Symmetrie aufweisen.Likewise, the inlet and outlet valves preferably have one Projection perpendicular to the axial direction of the intake and exhaust camshafts in each case equally large angles of inclination. So the valve train can still have a certain symmetry.

Jeweils eines der Ausgleichselemente zur Lagerung eines der Ventilbetätigungshebel für eines der Einlaßventile und jeweils eines der Ausgleichselemente zur Lagerung eines der Ventilbetätigungshebel für eines der Auslaßventile sind eng benachbart nebeneinander angeordnet. Auf diese Weise wird der Ventiltrieb eines Ein- und eines Auslaßventils räumlich zusammengefaßt, so daß im Bereich zwischen je zwei der Ein- und Auslaßventile noch ausreichend Platz für eine zusätzliche Zünd- oder Einspritzvorrichtung verbleibt.One of the compensating elements for mounting one of the valve actuation levers for one of the inlet valves and one of the compensating elements for storing one of the valve actuation levers for one of the exhaust valves are arranged close to each other. In this way the valve train of an intake and an exhaust valve is spatially combined, so that in the area between two of the intake and exhaust valves sufficient space remains for an additional ignition or injection device.

Passend zu der besonderen Ausführungsform gemäß Anspruch 3 sind die beiden Ventilbetätigungshebel, die den eng benachbart nebeneinander angeordneten Ausgleichselementen zugeordnet sind, zur Achsrichtung der Einlaßnockenwelle und der Auslaßnockenwelle jeweils leicht gekippt. Damit werden die auf die jeweiligen Nockenwellen wirkenden Nockenwellenaxialkräfte innerhalb der einzelnen Zylinder reduziert beziehungsweise kompensiert.Suitable for the special embodiment according to claim 3 two valve operating levers, which are arranged closely adjacent to each other Compensating elements are assigned to the axial direction of the Intake camshaft and the exhaust camshaft each tilted slightly. In order to become the camshaft axial forces acting on the respective camshafts reduced or compensated within the individual cylinders.

Außerdem weisen die Ventilbetätigungshebel zur Anlage an der Einlaßnokkenwelle oder der Auslaßnockenwelle jeweils eine annähernd mittig gelagerte Rolle auf, um die Reibwiderstände zu verringern.In addition, the valve actuation levers face against the intake camshaft or each of the exhaust camshafts is mounted approximately centrally Roll up to reduce the frictional resistance.

Die vorliegende Erfindung wird anhand der nachfolgenden Zeichnungsfiguren näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Der Zylinderkopf 1 weist eine Einlaßnockenwelle 2 sowie eine Austaßnokkenwelle 2' und pro Zylinder 3 eine Zündeinrichtung 4, zwei Einlaßventile 5 und zwei Auslaßventile 5', vier stehende Ausgleichselemente 6, 6' und vier Ventilbetätigungshebel 7, 7' auf. Außerdem ist pro Zylinder 3 noch eine Einspritzvorrichtung 8 vorgesehen.The cylinder head 1 has an intake camshaft 2 and a Austaßnokkenwelle 2 'and one ignition device 4 per cylinder 3, two intake valves 5 and two exhaust valves 5 ', four standing compensating elements 6, 6' and four Valve actuation lever 7, 7 'on. There is also one injector per cylinder 3 8 provided.

Aus Gründen der Vereinfachung ist in den Figuren 1 bis 3 jeweils nur eine Zylinderhalbseite mit einem Einlaßventil 5 und einem Auslaßventil 5', zwei Ausgleichselementen 6, 6' und zwei Ventilbetätigungshebeln 7, 7' dargestellt. Die andere Zylinderhalbseite kann man sich spiegelsymmetrisch zur Linie E ausgebildet vorstellen.For reasons of simplification, only one is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 Half of the cylinder with an inlet valve 5 and an outlet valve 5 ', two Compensation elements 6, 6 'and two valve actuation levers 7, 7' shown. The other half of the cylinder can be mirror-symmetrical to Introduce line E trained.

Die Einlaßnockenwelle 2 und die Auslaßnockenwelle 2' sind parallel zueinander angeordnet und schneiden in einer Projektion entlang der Zylinderachse Z den Zylinder 3, da sie relativ eng benachbart nebeneinander liegen. Die Einlaßnockenwelle 2 und die Auslaßnockenwelle 2' tragen jeweils eine gleiche Anzahl von Nocken 9, 9' mit schrägen Nockenkonturen, wodurch die Kraftübertragung von den Nocken 9, 9' auf die Ventilbetätigungshebel 7, 7' querkräftefrei erfolgen kann.The intake camshaft 2 and the exhaust camshaft 2 'are parallel to each other arranged and cut in a projection along the cylinder axis Z the cylinder 3, since they are relatively close to each other. The intake camshaft 2 and the exhaust camshaft 2 'each carry one same number of cams 9, 9 'with oblique cam contours, thereby the Power transmission from the cams 9, 9 'to the valve actuation lever 7, 7' can be done without lateral forces.

In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist unterhalb des Zylinderkopfes 1 einer der Zylinder 3 angedeutet. Parallel versetzt zu der Achse Z des Zylinders 3 ist eine Zündvorrichtung 4 angeordnet. Die Zündvorrichtung 4 ist von der Einlaßnockenwelle 2 weg in Richtung zur der Auslaßnockenwelle 2' versetzt, da zwischen den beiden Einlaßventilen 5 eine Einspritzvorrichtung 8 angeordnet ist. Natürlich wäre aber auch denkbar, daß anstelle der Zündvorrichtung 4 eine Einspritzvorrichtung 8 und daß anstelle der Einspritzvorrichtung 8 eine Zündvorrichtung angeordnet ist. In FIGS. 1 to 3, one of the cylinders 3 is below the cylinder head 1 indicated. An ignition device is offset parallel to the axis Z of the cylinder 3 4 arranged. The igniter 4 is from the intake camshaft 2 offset towards the exhaust camshaft 2 ', since between an injector 8 is arranged in the two inlet valves 5. Naturally but it would also be conceivable that instead of the ignition device 4 Injector 8 and that instead of the injector 8 an ignition device is arranged.

Die beiden Einlaßventile 5 und die beiden Auslaßventile 5' sind zur Achse Z des Zylinders 3 im wesentlichen radial geneigt. Auffällig ist, daß die Ventilteller 10 der Einlaßventile 5 größer sind als die Ventilteller 10' der Auslaßventile 5'. Außerdem kann man aus den Figuren 1 und 2 entnehmen, daß die Einlaßventile 5 und die Auslaßventile 5' in einer Projektion entlang der Achsrichtung N der Einlaßnockenwelle 2 und der Auslaßnockenwelle 2' unterschiedlich große Neigungswinkel α, α' aufweisen, wobei der Neigungswinkel α der Einlaßventile 5 kleiner ist als der Neigungswinkel α' der Auslaßventile 5'. Und aus den Figuren 1 und 3 wird deutlich, daß die Einlaßventile 5 und die Auslaßventile 5' in einer Projektion senkrecht zur Achsrichtung N der Einlaßnockenwelle 2 und der Auslaßnockenwelle 2' gleich große Neigungswinkel β, β' aufweisen.The two intake valves 5 and the two exhaust valves 5 'are to the Z axis of the cylinder 3 substantially inclined radially. It is striking that the valve disc 10 of the intake valves 5 are larger than the valve plate 10 'of the exhaust valves 5 '. It can also be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 that the inlet valves 5 and the exhaust valves 5 'in a projection along the axial direction N of the intake camshaft 2 and the exhaust camshaft 2 'different have large inclination angles α, α ', the inclination angle α being the Inlet valves 5 is smaller than the angle of inclination α 'of the outlet valves 5'. And from Figures 1 and 3 it is clear that the inlet valves 5 and Exhaust valves 5 'in a projection perpendicular to the axial direction N of the intake camshaft 2 and the exhaust camshaft 2 'have the same inclination angle β, have β '.

In Achsrichtung N der Einlaßnockenwelle 2 und der Auslaßnockenwelle 2' ist zu beiden Seiten der Zündvorrichtung 4 jeweils ein Paar von stehenden Ausgleichselementen 6, 6' angeordnet, wobei die Ausgleichselemente 6, 6' parallel und benachbart zu der Zündvorrichtung 4 angeordnet sind. Die Ausgleichselemente 6, 6' sind dabei zur Achse Z des Zylinders 3 symmetrisch angeordnet.In the axial direction N of the intake camshaft 2 and the exhaust camshaft 2 ' a pair of standing on each side of the ignition device 4 Compensating elements 6, 6 'arranged, the compensating elements 6, 6' are arranged in parallel and adjacent to the ignition device 4. The Compensating elements 6, 6 'are symmetrical about the axis Z of the cylinder 3 arranged.

Zur Betätigung der vier radialen Ein- und Auslaßventile 5, 5' sind vier Ventilbetätigungshebel 7, 7' vorgesehen. Die Ventilbetätigungshebel 7, 7' greifen mit ihrem einen Ende jeweils an einem der Ein- oder Auslaßventile 5, 5' an und sind mit ihrem anderen Ende auf einem der Ausgleichselemente 6, 6' gelagert. So sind die Ventilbetätigungshebel 7 für die Einlaßventile 5 und die Ventilbetätigungshebel 7' für die Auslaßventile 5' auf zwei Paaren von Ausgleichselementen 6, 6' gelagert und sind die beiden Ventilbetätigungshebel 7, 7' zu der Einlaßnockenwelle 2 und der Auslaßnockenwelle 2' senkrecht orientiert.To actuate the four radial inlet and outlet valves 5, 5 'are four valve actuation levers 7, 7 'provided. Grip the valve actuation levers 7, 7 ' with one end each at one of the inlet or outlet valves 5, 5 ' and are at their other end on one of the compensating elements 6, 6 ' stored. So are the valve operating lever 7 for the inlet valves 5 and Valve actuation lever 7 'for the exhaust valves 5' on two pairs of compensating elements 6, 6 'and are the two valve actuation levers 7, 7 'perpendicular to the intake camshaft 2 and the exhaust camshaft 2' oriented.

Außerdem sind die Ventilbetätigungshebel 7, 7' zur Achsrichtung N der Einlaßnockenwelle 2 und der Auslaßnockenwelle 2' jeweils leicht gekippt, damit auch die Kraftübertragung von den Ventilbetätigungshebeln 7, 7' auf die Einund Auslaßventile 5, 5' querkräftefrei erfolgen kann.In addition, the valve operating levers 7, 7 'to the axial direction N of the intake camshaft 2 and the exhaust camshaft 2 'each slightly tilted so that also the power transmission from the valve actuation levers 7, 7 'to the Einund Exhaust valves 5, 5 'can be done without transverse forces.

Zur Verminderung der Reibung des Ventiltriebs weisen die Ventilbetätigungshebel 7, 7' schließlich jeweils eine annähernd mittig gelagerte Rolle 11, 11' auf, welche mit der Einlaßnockenwelle 2 oder der Auslaßnockenwelle 2' in Verbindung steht.To reduce the friction of the valve train, the valve actuation levers 7, 7 'finally an approximately centrally mounted roller 11, 11 ', which with the intake camshaft 2 or the exhaust camshaft 2' communicates.
