Abstract

The variable camshaft controller has an adjuster for a camshaft for adjusting opening and closing times of valves in the engine. The angular position of the camshaft can be controlled by a magnetic valve with an engine oil inlet connected to the engine cooling circuit. An oil filter or oil sieve (21) associated with the magnetic valve is arranged before the engine oil inlet.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine variable Nockenwellensteuerung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The present invention relates to a variable camshaft timing according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 198 31 515 A1 ist eine derartige variable Nockenwellensteuerung bekannt. In Abhängigkeit vom Lastzustand und von der Drehzahl des Motors kann die Nockenwelle mittels einer an den Motorölkreislauf angeschlossenen Verstelleinrichtung verdreht werden. Durch die Verdrehung der Nockenwelle können die Öffnungs- und Schließzeiten sowie die Ventilüberschneidung verkürzt oder verlängert werden. Die Verdrehstellung der Nockenwelle ist durch ein Magnetventil steuerbar, das an den Motorölkreislauf angeschlossen ist. Das Motoröl wird aus der Ölwanne von der Ölpumpe angesaugt und über den Ölfilter in den Motorblock sowie in den Zylinderkopf gepumpt. Von dort strömt das Motoröl zum Magnetventil der Nockenwellensteuerung.From DE 198 31 515 A1 such a variable camshaft control is known. Depending on the load condition and the speed of the engine, the Camshaft by means of an adjusting device connected to the engine oil circuit to be twisted. Due to the rotation of the camshaft, the opening and closing times and the valve overlap shortened or extended become. The rotational position of the camshaft is controlled by a solenoid valve, which is connected to the engine oil circuit. The engine oil is removed from the oil pan sucked by the oil pump and the oil filter in the engine block and in the Cylinder head pumped. From there, the engine oil flows to the solenoid valve of the camshaft control.

Bei der Fertigung neuer Motoren ist es fast unvermeidlich, dass im Motorblock bzw. Zylinderkopf Metallspäne bzw. Verschmutzungen zurück bleiben. Ferner besteht die Gefahr, dass sich Grate von Bohrungsverschneidungen der Kurbelgehäuseund/oder Zylinderkopfwandungen ablösen und über das Motoröl zum Magnetventil der Nockenwellensteuerung gelangen. Dies kann zum "Blockieren" des Kolbens des Magnetventils und somit zum Ausfall der Nockenwellensteuerung führen. When manufacturing new engines, it is almost inevitable that in the engine block or Cylinder head Metal chips or soiling remain behind. Furthermore, there is the Danger that burrs of Bohrungsschneckungen the crankcase and / or Remove the cylinder head walls and the engine oil to the solenoid valve get the camshaft control. This can "block" the piston of the Solenoid valve and thus lead to failure of the camshaft control.

Das Problem, däss Grate, Späne bzw. Abrieb über das Motoröl zum Magnetventil der Nockenwellensteuerung gelangen, tritt zwar meist nur in der ersten "Lebensphase" des Motors auf, z. B. bis zu einer Laufleistung von etwa 15.000 km, da danach der "Urschmutz" bzw. Späne und Grate üblicherweise von den Motorund Zylinderkopfwandungen abgespült sind. Die Rückstände können dann über das Motoröl zu den Magnetventilen der Nockenwellensteuerung gelangen und die Magnetventile schädigen. Häufig muss dann bei der Inspektion das gesamte Magnetventil ausgetauscht werden, was mit erheblichen Kosten verbunden ist.The problem, burrs, chips or abrasion over the engine oil to the solenoid valve get the camshaft control occurs, although usually only in the first "Life phase" of the engine, z. B. up to a mileage of about 15,000 km, since then the "original dirt" or chips and burrs usually from the engine and Cylinder head walls are rinsed off. The residues can then over the Engine oil get to the solenoid valves of the camshaft control and the Damage solenoid valves. Often then at the inspection the entire Solenoid valve are replaced, which is associated with significant costs.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Nockenwellensteuerung zu schaffen, bei der das Problem des Ausfalls der Magnetventile in der ersten "Lebensphase" des Motors durch "Urschmutz" vermieden wird.The object of the invention is to provide a camshaft control, in which the Problem of failure of the solenoid valves in the first "life phase" of the engine is avoided by "original dirt".

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. advantageous Refinements and developments of the invention are the dependent claims remove.

Das Grundprinzip der Erfindung besteht darin, vor dem Motoröleingang des Magnetventils ein Filter bzw. ein Sieb anzuordnen, das nach der Einlaufphase des Motors bei der Inspektion entfernt werden kann. Das Sieb ist dazu vorgesehen, während der Einlaufphase des Motors "den Urschmutz", d. h. Späne und Abrieb aus dem Motor bzw. Zylinderkopf aufzufangen und ein Eindringen in das Magnetventil zu verhindern. Nach der Einlaufphase des Motors, z. B. nach 15.000 km ist üblicherweise der gesamte "Urschmutz aus dem Motor ausgewaschen. Das Filter bzw. Sieb vor dem Motoröleingang des Magnetventils kann dann im Rahmen der Inspektion entfernt werden. Es braucht nicht durch ein neues Filter bzw. Sieb ersetzt zu werden. Das Filter bzw. Sieb verhindert ein Eindringen des "Urschmutz" in das Magnetventil. Ein verschmutzungsbedingter Ausfall des Magnetventils durch "Urschmutz" wird somit verhindert. Bei der ersten Inspektion braucht lediglich das Filter entfernt zu werden. Ein Austausch des Magnetventils erübrigt sich.The basic principle of the invention is prior to the engine oil inlet of the solenoid valve To arrange a filter or a sieve, after the running-in phase of the engine can be removed during the inspection. The sieve is intended during the running-in phase of the engine "the original dirt", d. H. Chips and abrasion catch the engine or cylinder head and an intrusion into the solenoid valve to prevent. After the running-in phase of the engine, z. B. after 15,000 km Usually the entire "original dirt washed out of the engine." The filter or sieve before the engine oil inlet of the solenoid valve can then in the context of Inspection to be removed. It does not need to be replaced by a new filter or sieve to become. The filter or screen prevents penetration of the "original dirt" in the Magnetic valve. A pollution-related failure of the solenoid valve "Urschmutz" is thus prevented. At the first inspection, only that needs Filter to be removed. An exchange of the solenoid valve is unnecessary.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Ölfilter bzw. Ölsieb unmittelbar am Motoröleingang des Magnetventils angeordnet. According to a development of the invention, the oil filter or oil strainer is directly on Engine oil inlet of the solenoid valve arranged.

Das Magnetventil ist bei einer Inspektion mit wenigen Handgriffen vom Motorgehäuse, insbesondere vom Zylinderkopf demontierbar. Vorzugsweise ist das Ölfilter bzw. Ölsieb unmittelbar am Magnetventil befestigt und kann zusammen mit dem Magnetventil ausgebaut werden. Nach dem Ausbau des Magnetventils braucht das Ölfilter bzw. Ölsieb lediglich noch vom Magnetventil entfernt zu werden.The solenoid valve is in an inspection with a few simple steps from the motor housing, in particular removable from the cylinder head. Preferably, the oil filter or oil strainer attached directly to the solenoid valve and can be used together with the Solenoid valve to be removed. After removing the solenoid valve that needs Oil filter or oil strainer only to be removed from the solenoid valve.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Magnetventil einen Schaftabschnitt auf. Der Motoröleingang des Magnetventils ist durch eine oder mehrere in Umfangsrichtung des Schaftabschnitts verteilt angeordnete radiale Bohrungen gebildet. Ferner können am Schaftabschnitt Steuerausgänge vorgesehen sein, die ebenfalls durch radiale Bohrungen gebildet sein können. Vorzugsweise weist der Schaftabschnitt des Magnetventils im Bereich des Motoröleingangs eine umlaufende Nut auf.According to a development of the invention, the solenoid valve has a Shank section on. The engine oil input of the solenoid valve is through one or more distributed in the circumferential direction of the shaft portion arranged radial bores educated. Furthermore, control outputs can be provided on the shaft section, which may also be formed by radial bores. Preferably, the Shaft portion of the solenoid valve in the engine oil input a circumferential Groove on.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Ölfilter bzw. Ölsieb in diese Nut eingesetzt. Das Ölfilter bzw. Ölsieb kann die Form einer Manschnette haben, die in die Nut des Schaftabschnitts eingesetzt ist.According to a development of the invention, the oil filter or oil strainer is inserted into this groove. The oil filter or sieve may have the shape of a Manschnette, in the Groove of the shaft portion is inserted.

Hinsichtlich der konstruktiven Gestaltung des Ölfilters bzw. Ölsiebs schlägt die Erfindung zwei verschiedene Varianten vor:

  • a) Bei der einen Variante weist das Ölfilter bzw. Ölsieb einen z. B. aus Kunststoff bestehenden Trägerkörper auf, der durch zwei halbzylindrische Hälften gebildet ist, die an ihren ersten Enden über ein Schwenkgelenk miteinander verbunden sind und die an ihren zweiten Enden öffenbar, z. B. mit einem Clipverschluss miteinander verbunden. Die halbkreiszylindrischen Hälften des Trägerkörpers weisen über den Umfang verteilt mehrere Ausnehmungen auf. Ferner ist ein sich über den gesamten Umfang des Trägerkörpers erstreckendes Filter- bzw. Siebelement vorgesehen, das am Trägerkörper fixiert ist.
  • b) Bei der anderen Variante ist das Ölfilter bzw. Ölsieb durch ein Siebblech gebildet. Das Siebblech ist vergleichbar mit einem "Schnittblech", wie es von Trockenrasierern bekannt ist. Vorzugsweise ist das Siebblech unmittelbar in die Nut des Schaftabschnitts des Magnetventils eingesetzt. Die beiden Enden des Siebblechs können beispielsweise durch Laserpunktschweißung miteinander verbunden werden. Vorzugsweise ist ein Endabschnitt der miteinander verschweißten Endbereiche des Siebbleches laschenartig verlängert. Dieser Endabschnitt fungiert als "Aufreißlasche". Bei einer Inspektion kann dann beispielsweise mit einer Spitzzange die Aufreißlasche gegriffen und das Siebblech aufgerissen und vom Magnetventilschaft entfernt werden.
    • With regard to the structural design of the oil filter or oil sieve, the invention proposes two different variants:
  • a) In one variant, the oil filter or oil strainer has a z. B. made of plastic carrier body, which is formed by two semi-cylindrical halves, which are interconnected at their first ends via a pivot joint and the openable at their second ends, z. B. connected to each other with a clip closure. The semicircular cylindrical halves of the carrier body have distributed over the circumference a plurality of recesses. Furthermore, an over the entire circumference of the carrier body extending filter or sieve element is provided, which is fixed to the carrier body.
  • b) In the other variant, the oil filter or oil screen is formed by a screen plate. The screen plate is similar to a "cut sheet", as it is known by dry shavers. Preferably, the screen plate is inserted directly into the groove of the shaft portion of the solenoid valve. The two ends of the screen plate can be connected to each other, for example by laser spot welding. Preferably, an end portion of the welded together end portions of the screen plate is extended lashing. This end section acts as a "pull-tab". During an inspection, the tear-open tab can then be gripped, for example with a pair of needle-nose pliers, and the perforated plate can be torn open and removed from the solenoid valve stem.
