Abstract

A valve gear mechanism for an internal combustion engine includes a camshaft in a separate cylinder head for controlling the stroke of a gas shuttle valve by means of an interposed rocker arm, which is mounted in the cylinder head of a piston that performs a lifting motion of a hydraulic valve-play compensation element. The aim of the invention is to achieve a play-free surface liaison of mechanical origin between the actuating elements of the gas shuttle valve. To achieve this, the piston of the hydraulic compensation element has a device that acts on an instrument for mechanically actuating a lifting stroke in order to achieve a play-free surface liaison of the contract surfaces of the rocker arm and an additional valve gear element, while the valve-play compensation element is maintained hydraulically without pressure.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Vermessen und/oder Justieren einer Ventiltrieb-Vorrichtung für eine Brennkraft-maschine, die in einem gesonderten Zylinderkopf der Brennkraftmaschine eine Nockenwelle umfasst zur Hubsteuerung eines Gaswechselventils mittels eines zwischengeschalteten Schlepphebels, der im Zylinderkopf auf einem hubbeweglichen Kolben eines hydraulischen Ventilspiel-Ausgleichselementes gelagert ist.The invention relates to a method for measuring and / or adjusting a valve train device for an internal combustion engine, which comprises a camshaft in a separate cylinder head of the internal combustion engine for the stroke control of a gas exchange valve by means of an intermediate finger lever, in the cylinder head on a reciprocating piston of a hydraulic valve clearance compensation element is mounted.

Insbesondere bei Ventiltrieb-Vorrichtungen mit hubvariablen Gaswechselventilen ist es insbesondere aus funktionellen Gründen wünschenswert, den Ventilhub eines Gaswechselventils je Zylinder bzw. die Ventilhübe der entsprechenden Gaswechselventile über sämtliche Zylinder messen zu können. Bei einer gattungsgemäßen Ventiltrieb-Vorrichtung mit einem auf einem hydraulischen Ventilspiel-Ausgleichselement gelagerten Schlepphebel sind zum spielfreien Flächenschluss sämtlicher relevanter Kontaktflächen im Ventiltrieb die Ventilspiel-Ausgleichselemente über die zugeordneten Leitungen im gesonderten Zylinderkopf mit Drucköl zu versorgen.Especially with valve train devices with variable-displacement gas exchange valves, it is particularly desirable for functional reasons to be able to measure the valve lift of a gas exchange valve per cylinder or the valve strokes of the corresponding gas exchange valves across all cylinders. In a generic valve train device with a drag lever mounted on a hydraulic valve clearance compensation element, the valve clearance compensation elements are to be supplied with pressure oil via the associated lines in the separate cylinder head for play-free surface closure of all relevant contact surfaces in the valve train.

Weiter ist aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 199 13 742 A1 eine Ventiltriebvorrichtung für eine Brennkraftmaschine bekannt, die in einem gesonderten Zylinderkopf der Brennkraftmaschine eine Nockenwelle umfasst zur Hubsteuerung eines Gaswechselventils mittels eines zwischengeschalteten Schlepphebels, der am Zylinderkopf auf einer Abstützung gelagert ist.Next is from the German patent application DE 199 13 742 A1 a valve drive device for an internal combustion engine is known which comprises a camshaft in a separate cylinder head of the internal combustion engine for the stroke control of a gas exchange valve by means of an intermediate finger lever which is mounted on the cylinder head on a support.

Nachteilig beim Stand der Technik ist für eine Vermessung des Ventiltriebes am Ende der Ventiltriebmontage eines serienmäßig hergestellten Zylinderkopfes das Handling mit der in einem Zylinderkopf vorhandenen Ölmenge, die für ein sauberes Weiterarbeiten am Zylinderkopf restlos auszubringen ist.A disadvantage of the prior art is for a measurement of the valve train at the end of the valve train assembly of a mass produced cylinder head the handling of the amount of oil present in a cylinder head, which is to be applied completely for a clean further work on the cylinder head.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, zur Vermessung und/oder Justierung einer gattungsgemäßen Ventiltrieb-Vorrichtung mit auf einem hydraulischen Ventilspiel-Ausgleichselement abgestützten Schlepphebel ein Verfahren aufzuzeigen, das ohne hydraulische Druckbeaufschlagung der Ventilspielausgleichselemente einen einwandfreien, spielfreien Flächenschluss zwischen Kontaktflächen zusammenwirkender Betätigungselemente eines Gaswechselventils ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to show for measuring and / or adjustment of a generic valve train device supported on a hydraulic valve play compensation element drag lever a method that allows a perfect, backlash-free surface closure between contact surfaces cooperating actuators of a gas exchange valve without hydraulic pressurization of the valve lash adjusters.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Vermessung und Justierung der Ventiltrieb-Vorrichtung dem Zylinderkopf kein Drucköl zugeführt werde muss, die Vermessung und Justierung erfolgt gewissermaßen mit trockenem Zylinderkopf. Im Falle einer serienmäßigen Vermessung und Justierung entfällt damit eine gesonderte Druckölanlage. Weiter vorteilhaft ist, dass der Zylinderkopf den weiteren Bearbeitungsstationen der Serie ölfrei zugeführt wird.The advantage of the invention is that with the inventive method for measuring and adjusting the valve train device the cylinder head no pressure oil must be supplied, the measurement and adjustment is done in a sense with a dry cylinder head.

Für die Betätigung des Kolbens 6 in Hubrichtung kann ein translatorisch gemäß Pfeil A wirkendes Werkzeug 9 vorgesehen sein oder aber auch ein rotatorisch bzw. schwenkbeweglich wirkendes Werkzeug. Zur Aufrechterhaltung des Flächenschlusses bei mechanisch hubbetätigtem Kolben 6 zwischen den ventiltriebseitigen Kontaktflächen 10 und 11 ist das jeweilige Werkzeug 9 mittels einer Zugfeder 16 kraftbeaufschlagt.For the actuation of the piston 6 in the stroke direction, a translationally acting according to arrow A tool 9 may be provided or else a rotatably or pivotally acting tool.

    characterised in that the separate cylinder head (2) is positioned and fixed in a device (22) without a pressure connection for the valve clearance compensating element (HVA 7), wherein the piston (6) of the hydraulic valve clearance compensating element (HVA 7), is mechanically reciprocated by the tool (9) for measuring and/or adjusting the valve drive.
  2. A method according to claim 1,
    characterised in that the piston (6) of a valve clearance compensating element (HVA 7) supplied partly filled with oil has a separate device (8) in the form of an outer peripheral groove (15) between a guide portion (13) and a drag-lever joint head (14), for engaging a tool (9) having a forked end portion (9').
  3. A method according to claim 1 or claim 2,
    characterised in that
    - the piston (6) is movable in the stroke direction by a tool (9) acting in translation (arrow A) or in rotation or by pivoting, and
    - the tool (9) is subjected to force (tension spring 16) in order to maintain the contact between the surfaces (10, 11) on the valve drive.
  4. A method according to one or more of claims 1 to 3, characterised by
    - use of an adjustable-stroke gas change valve (4), wherein
    - a drag lever (5) equipped with a roller (17) cooperates with a control path (19) comprising an idle curve (11) and a stroke curve (18) on a drag lever (21) actuated by the camshaft (3) against the action of a return spring (20),
    - the starting position of the drag lever (21) being adjustable in an open or closed loop to correspond to the required variation in stroke.
  5. A method according to claim 4,
    characterised by a working process having the following steps:
    a) the separate cylinder head (2) is positioned (at 23) and fixed (at 24) in a device (22) without a pressure-oil connection,
    b) the pistons (6) of all compensating elements (HVA 7) are mechanically reciprocated by automatically supplied tools (9) to obtain clearance-free contact between the surfaces (10, 11) with a controlled bearing force (tension spring 16),
    c) all pivoted levers (21) of the variable-stroke valve drive device (1) are brought into position by a common control device (25) as regards their pivoted positions in order to obtain a preset minimum stroke of all the gas change valves (4) and
    d) the camshaft (3) is coupled to a drive disposed in the device (22) and driven at a set speed, wherein
    e) at least the valve strokes are detected by displacement transducers (26) connected to the drive of the moving gas change valves (4),
    f) the valve strokes being shown on a monitor having a preset tolerance band and being additionally documented.
