Abstract

Für eine Schließfeder-Vorrichtung für den Ventiltrieb eines Gaswechselventils (2) einer Brennkraftmaschine, bei der eine mechanische Feder (3) ab einer bestimmten Maschinendrehzahl mit einer parallel geschalteten Gasfeder die Schließbewegung des Gaswechselventils bewirkt, wird zur selbstpumpenden Ausgestaltung bei einfachem Aufbau vorgeschlagen, dass ein Gasfeder-Kolben als ein Tassenstößel (6) gestaltet ist mit einem in einem von einer Gasfeder-Kammer (4) gesonderten Raum gleitbeweglich dicht geführten Kolbenhemd als Pumpenkolben einer selbstpumpenden Gasfeder, der aus dem mit einem Medium gesteuert versorgbaren Pumpenraum über einen gesteuert zuschaltbaren Überströmkanal (10) das komprimierte Medium bei im wesentlichen maximalen Öffnungshub des Gaswechselventils zugeführt ist.

For a closing spring device for the valve train of a gas exchange valve (2) of an internal combustion engine, in which a mechanical spring (3) causes the closing movement of the gas exchange valve from a certain engine speed with a gas spring connected in parallel, it is proposed for self-pumping design with a simple structure that a The gas spring piston is designed as a cup tappet (6) with a piston skirt which is slidably guided in a space separate from a gas spring chamber (4) as a pump piston of a self-pumping gas spring, which flows from the pump chamber, which can be supplied with a medium, via a controlled switchable overflow channel ( 10) the compressed medium is supplied at a substantially maximum opening stroke of the gas exchange valve.
