Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a combustion engine internal for motor vehicle and concerns more specially a special arrangement of the valves intake and exhaust associated with the cylinders of this motor, as well as actuation means for these valves.
  • a classic solution in combustion engines internal for motor vehicle consists in ordering the movement of the intake and exhaust valves by means of a camshaft which operates directly or indirectly, for example using rockers acting on their stem, these valves against springs of recall to cause displacement of these valves vis-à-vis of their seat by opening or closing cylinders formed in the cylinder head of the engine and, according to the case, allow the admission of the combustible mixture injected or otherwise admitted into these cylinders or ejection burnt gases, the various engine valves being ordered in sequence to perform the cycle with several time of this engine.
  • the aforementioned electromagnetic actuators allow to design and realize in a very efficient variable distribution, modifying immediate opening and closing angles of valves, that is to say, during the cycle, the precise instant where each valve, both intake and exhaust, opens or closes, this moment can thus be optimally adapted according to needs.
  • the main gain on the overall consumption of the engine comes from the implementation of this type of actuator and the distribution it achieves in the cylinders when is fitted on an engine intake valve, the control of the openings and closings of this valve allowing to adjust the air load which is injected into the cylinder, in the same way as the realizes the throttle valve of a petrol engine, with the advantage that it avoids any pumping inherent in this last solution, as long as the opening angles and closing the valve are properly timed.
  • variable setting of the angles of the intake valve allows you to take full advantage of internal aerodynamic effects of the intake manifold and therefore have a maximum filling.
  • the maximum torque curve of the motor is then strongly improved, especially at low revs. This results in a gain immediate on the consumption of the engine under partial load and also on its maximum torque curve.
  • control opening and closing angles of each of these valves allows easy adjustment of the gas rate residual in each cylinder and reduce the levels of pollutants in the flue gases.
  • the overheating caused results in an acceleration of the aging of the actuator, in particular of the winding electromagnet and the electrical insulators it behaves.
  • opening a valve exhaust requires significant energy to overcome the residual pressure in the cylinder, which can reach up to 8 bars at the time of opening.
  • the actuator can provide a force whose order of quantity represents the product of the valve surface by the difference between the pressure in the cylinder and that which prevails in the exhaust manifold, which is relatively close to atmospheric pressure.
  • the energy required requires that the current in the coils of the electromagnet is considerably increased, resulting in a heat dissipation in these coils which increases with the intensity square, further increasing the temperature by the environment of this actuator.
  • the present invention relates to a new arrangement of means for actuating the intake valves and exhaust from an internal combustion engine for motor vehicle, which overcomes these drawbacks.
  • the engine considered comprising at least one intake valve and at least one exhaust valve cooperating respectively with seats provided on each of its cylinders, the movement of the intake valve to opening and closing with respect to its seat being controlled and controlled using an actuator electromagnetic, while the exhaust valve is controlled by a set comprising at least one system mechanical such as a lever or the like operated by a camshaft, this assembly being independent of the electromagnetic actuator, is characterized in that, to increase its yield, it includes means able, during a cycle, to deactivate at least one of its cylinders, by simultaneously closing on it the inlet valve and exhaust valve, maintained each applied to its seat.
  • the closing of the valve intake and exhaust valve is accompanied by cutting off the injection of the fuel mixture into the cylinder and the ignition in that cylinder.
  • the lever operated by the camshaft to control the exhaust valve acts simultaneously on a stop capable of providing a variable reaction force such as that the camshaft causes, as the case may be, the command to the exhaust valve or the depression of the stop, in which case the valve remains applied on its seat, the cylinder being deactivated.
  • the reference 1 schematically designates part of the cylinder head of the engine, in particular in line with a cylinder 2, joined to two pipes, respectively 3 and 4, the first being reserved for admission into this cylinder 2 a mixture of gasoline and air, the second at the exhaust burnt gases after ignition and combustion of this mixture.
  • the injection of the mixture into the cylinder can be carried out in any appropriate way, which in itself does not matter to the invention, for example using an injector 5 schematically illustrated in the drawing and mounted in communication with the intake manifold 3.
  • Cylinder 2 is associated with at least one valve intake 6 and at least one exhaust valve 7.
  • the intake valve 6 has a head 8 extended by a rod 9, the head 8 being supported on a seat 10 provided on the cylinder head 1, to the right of the link between the intake manifold 3 and the cylinder 2.
  • the exhaust valve 7 has a head 11, a rod 12 integral with this head and a seat 13 provided at the end of the tube 4 through which the burnt gases escape.
  • a spark plug or similar ignition member 14 is mounted on cylinder head 1 to the right of cylinder 2, so as to allow creating in the cylinder the spark causing the combustion of the mixture, according to a process in itself perfectly known.
  • the two valves 6 and 7, respectively intake and exhaust, are separately associated, the first with an actuator electromagnetic 17, the second to a device fully mechanical with camshaft 16, independent one the other.
  • the electromagnetic actuator which controls the intake valve 6 and in particular the control of its deflections with respect to its seat 10, consists of known manner and in particular as described in the requests for aforementioned patent in the name of the plaintiff, by a electromagnet 17 itself consisting of two coils 18 and 19 providing an air gap 20 between them, delimiting a relatively narrow cavity in which to struggle a metal frame 21, integral with a support 22 extending the rod 9 of this valve axially.
  • return springs respectively 23 and 24, are associated to the rod 9 and to the support 22.
  • the mechanism 16, which actuates the exhaust valve 7, essentially comprises a rotary shaft 26 having in its outer surface a projecting cam 27, suitable for come to act during the rotation of the shaft, on a lever or analog 28 bearing 29 at the end of the rod 12 of the valve 7.
  • a spring 30 is provided to ensure the reminder of the head 11 of the latter on its seat 13, when the cam 27 is not in contact with the lever 28.
  • the lever 28 is also supported on a stop 31 whose positioning is adjustable, made up in particular in the example shown, by means of a hydraulic system essentially consisting of a piston, linked to the stop 31, located inside a cylinder whose cavity 32 is permanently supplied by a pipeline intake 33 of an incompressible fluid, in particular consisting of the engine lubricating oil.
  • the oil in the cylinder cavity may evacuate out of it by another line 34, on which a solenoid valve is provided 35.
  • the means thus used to control respectively the two valves 6 and 7, allow simple way to deactivate cylinder 2 if necessary now closed during an operating cycle, heads 8 and 11 of the valves remaining applied to their respective seats 10 and 13.
  • the inventors have found that the system of the invention allowed to reduce the consumption of the engine and that the cylinder deactivation allowed to further increase the gain on consumption, especially when the diet motor is weak, around 700 to 3500 rpm minute, the control of the hydraulic stop not requiring at these rotations particularly switching times limits.
