Definitions
- the invention relates to a variable valve control for reciprocating piston machines, in particular internal combustion engines, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- variable valve control is shown, for example, in DE 42 23 173 A1, in which a link part adjustable in the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine is connected with an adjustment ramp and a roller between the cam of a camshaft on the one hand and the bucket tappet at the shaft end of a globe valve on the other hand.
- link part By moving the link part relative to the cam, both a full stroke and partial strokes can be controlled up to zero stroke.
- At full stroke there is a valve actuation which results from the geometry of the cam and the adjustment ramp with regard to valve lift and speed profile and which can be optimized accordingly.
- the object of the invention is to provide a variable valve control of the generic type which enables large valve lift changes with largely jerk-free valve actuation and which is robustly constructed and inexpensive to manufacture.
- valve train also enables larger valve lifts or a larger stroke adjustment range due to the use of a rocker arm with the associated more favorable lever ratios and due to the general arrangement of the adjustment ramp approximately perpendicular to the cam axis of rotation, in particular the lower lateral emigration of the roller package cause in the excitement movement.
- the contact surface of the rocker arm for the roller set can be aligned parallel to the direction of displacement of the link part.
- the adjustment ramp of the link part is formed in a slot-shaped link guide, the opposite guide surface of which forms a pre-acceleration ramp in the excitation movement of the roller package, which represents a smooth transition into the starting ramp section of the adjustment ramp for the generating movement.
- the roller set can advantageously be biased against the cam by means of at least one simple leg spring.
- the leg spring can preferably be supported on the link part with one leg and acts with a second, elongated leg on the roller package, which prestresses it against the cam.
- the rocking lever bears against a stop of the link part in the closed position of the lift valve.
- the roller set can lift off the rocker arm due to the pretension of the leg spring - which creates constant contact between the roller set and the cam - and there can be no play between the rocker arm, the link part and the valve stem via the compensating element.
- the rocker arm is preferably pivotally mounted in the cylinder head via at least one rocker arm axis.
- the hydraulic valve lash compensation element could then be arranged on the end of the rocker arm which interacts with the shaft end of the lift valve.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a variable valve train in the cylinder head of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine along the line l-l of FIG. 2, with a cam, a displaceable link part, a roller set and a rocker arm acting on a lift valve;
- Fig. 2 is a view according to arrow X of Figure 1 on the valve train.
- FIG. 3 shows a side view of the two-part rocker arm arranged between the link part and the lifting valve
- FIG. 4 shows a top view of the rocker arm according to FIG. 3; Fig. 5 graphics of the valve train at full stroke; and
- Fig. 6 shows the same graphics with partial stroke of the globe valve.
- 10 denotes a camshaft, which is rotatably mounted in a cylinder head 12 of a multi-cylinder reciprocating piston internal combustion engine and is only supported by cams 14 for actuating intake lift valves, only one lift valve or its valve shaft 16 is shown.
- a link part 18 is arranged in the cylinder head 12 so as to be displaceable via fitting bores 20 on stationary guide bolts 22.
- the link part 18 can be adjusted in the direction of the double arrow 24 by means of an adjusting device (not shown) (for example an eccentric shaft which is adjusted hydraulically or electrically).
- the approximately U-shaped link part 18 with a base wall 56 each has a guide guide in the lateral legs 26, 28 with an adjustment ramp 30 and a pre-acceleration ramp 32.
- a roller set 34 is slidably inserted in the slot-shaped link guide 30, 32, which is open at the top.
- the roller set 34 has a central roller 34a (FIG. 2) which runs against the cam 14. Adjacent to the left and right there are two further rollers 34b, 34c, which roll on the contact surfaces 36a, 36b of a rocker arm 36, said rollers being mounted on a roller bearing on a transmission pin 34d, which cooperates with said ramps 30,32.
- the rocker arm 36 is composed of a first, H-shaped rocker arm part 40 and an intermediate rocker arm part 42, which are arranged as follows:
- the first rocker arm part 40 is, on the one hand, pivotably supported via bearing bores 44 on stationary rocker arm axles 46 and supports the contact surfaces 36a, 36b for the rollers 34b, 34c of the roller package 34. Furthermore, the rocker arm part 40 has a transverse driver 48, which is arranged on the second rocker arm part arranged between them 42 acts like a seesaw.
- the second rocker arm part 42 is supported, on the one hand, via a ball socket 50 on a valve lash compensation element 52 which has a corresponding ball head and which is arranged in the cylinder head 12 as shown.
- the other end carries a driver 53 which cooperates with the shaft end of the lift valve 16.
- the adjustment ramp 30 as a whole lies approximately perpendicular to the adjustment direction 24 of the link part 18 and the roller set 34 acts on the rocker arm 36, its contact surfaces 36a, 36b being aligned parallel to the adjustment direction 24.
- the rocker arm 36 lies essentially below the camshaft axis of rotation 10a between the link part 18, which can be adjusted tangentially to the cam 14, and the lift valve 16.
- rocker arm 36 (cf. FIGS. 3 and 4) or its rocker arm part 40 lies in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (corresponds to the full stroke) when the lift valve 16 is closed against a stop 54 of the base wall 56 of the link part 18, wherein the rocker arm 36 is kept free of play overall via the valve play compensation element 52.
- roller set 34 has an idle travel s, viewed between the contact surfaces 36a, 36b of the rocker arm 36 and the base circle 14b of the cam 14.
- roller set 34 increases due to the illustrated shape of the pre-acceleration ramp 30 until the transmission bolt 34d is displaced onto the starting ramp section 30a of the adjustment ramp 30, while simultaneously running onto the contact surfaces 36a, 36b of the rocking lever 36 via the rollers 34b, 34c and actuated the lift valve 16 in the further production movement.
- the section 30a runs essentially tangentially to the cam 14 or its start-up and exit ramp.
- FIG. 5 shows the movement curves for a full stroke and FIG. 6 shows the movement curves for a partial stroke of the stroke valve 16.
- the lines drawn vertically indicate the respective valve stroke sv.
- the curve a corresponds to the adjustment movement of the roller package 34, the portions of the excitation movement corresponding to the free travel s of the roller package 34. It is to be seen as essential to the present invention that there is also an idle travel s at full stroke (FIG. 5), which places the starting point of the generating movement (valve actuation) on the branch between b and c of curve a, which corresponds approximately to a uniform valve acceleration.
- the curve d describes the geometric design of the adjustment ramp 30, which in conjunction with the design of the curve a gives the actual valve lift according to curve e over the valve lift s.
- the further curve f describes the course of the valve acceleration, it being remarkable that the acceleration peaks at full stroke (FIG. 5) and partial stroke (FIG. 6) are approximately the same.
- the valve train described thus enables “full” valve lift curves e for the full lift of the lift valves 16, without increased acceleration peaks during the partial lift.
