Definitions
- Swivel actuator device for stroke control of a gas exchange valve in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine
- the invention relates to a swivel actuator device for stroke control of a gas exchange valve in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine according to the features in the preamble of claim 1.
- the forces of the valve spring and additional spring are such that during the periodic operation of the rotary actuator device, the kinetic energy is stored either in the valve spring or in the additional spring, depending on the position of the gas exchange valve. This measure reduces the current requirement when the rotary actuator device is in operation.
- the control cam is controlled alternately by an electric motor and has a single one, between a cam tip and a base circle, for opening and closing serving, with a ramp formed cam flank, to which the control cam has in a diametrical area a base circle section elongated in the circumferential direction, to which a stop face essentially directed radially to the cam-tip area is connected for a first rotary stop arranged on the engine or cylinder head side.
- a disadvantage of the rotary actuator device described is the high power requirement at low speeds.
- the object of the present invention is to reduce the power consumption at low speeds for a generic rotary actuator device.
- a second actuating element with a second control track is arranged on the first actuating element.
- This invention extends the existing swivel actuator device by a second actuating element in the opposite direction of rotation with a smaller stroke compared to the main cam.
- This second actuation element does not open the valve completely and is only used for small strokes in the range of low engine speeds.
- the swivel actuator device is energized in such a way that the shaft swivels only in the direction of the second actuating element, while at high speeds it is swiveled exclusively in the direction of the first actuating element. Due to the short stroke, the swivel actuator device advantageously consumes less power at low speeds.
- the two actuating elements form a double cam which can be actuated in two directions without jolts.
- the production of a double control path designed in this way, the zero stroke ranges of which are arranged next to one another, is simple and inexpensive.
- the current consumption at low speeds is low. Furthermore, valve noises generated by the gas exchange valve being hit on the valve seat by the inventive reduced design.
- the second actuating element balances the moments of the spring element, an actuator spring, against the moments of the valve spring.
- the resulting torque on the camshaft is thus almost zero, depending on tolerances, and the camshaft can thus be kept almost currentless in any angular position of the second actuating element.
- Such a system has a low dynamic, since this is built up solely by the momentary structure of the swivel motor (by energizing).
- Another advantage is the improvement in gas dynamics when changing the charge, since the small valve lift enables supersonic speeds to be generated in the valve gap, which make a significant positive contribution to good mixture preparation.
- system overshoots have no effect, since the valve lift is not changed in these areas.
- the second control track is designed according to claims 8 to 10.
- the control path is divided into two areas.
- the first stroke range from zero stroke or a defined value (e.g. from 0.6 mm to 1.5 mm stroke height)
- the kinematic moment of the spring element is only compensated to a small extent so that a spring-related acceleration is imparted to the swivel actuator device
- the second stroke range e.g. from 1.5 mm to approx. 3.5 mm
- the kinematic moment of the spring element is overcompensated so that the swivel actuator is subjected to spring-related braking over this stroke range.
- the two actuating elements either radially on the outer circumference of the shaft, whereby several gas exchange valves can be operated by a swivel actuator device or to attach a slide track on the front face of the shaft with which a single gas exchange valve can be controlled.
- the swivel actuator device according to the invention can be arranged in the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine both on the intake side and on the exhaust side. This principle of identical parts enables cost-effective production.
- the swivel actuator device 1 shows a schematic illustration of a swivel actuator device 1 according to the invention in the installed position in a cylinder head 3.
- the swivel actuator device 1 essentially consists of a swivel motor 4 with a stator (not shown) and a rotor (not shown).
- the rotor is fixedly connected to a shaft 5 with a common axis of rotation 5a.
- the shaft 5 has an actuating element 6 with a control track 7, half a cam, radially on its circumference.
- the control path 7 is divided into three individual areas, a zero stroke area 7a, a stroke area 7b and a full stroke area 7c.
- a second actuating element 8 with a second control path 9 adjoins the zero stroke region 7a in the opposite direction of rotation.
- the second control path 9 is also divided into three areas, a second zero stroke area 9a, a second stroke area 9b and a partial stroke area 9c.
- the second stroke area 9b is in turn subdivided into an acceleration stroke area 9b ', which adjoins the second zero stroke area 9a, followed by a deceleration stroke area 9b ".
- the first zero stroke area 7a and the adjoining second zero stroke area 9a have the same constant radius" R1 " based on the axis of rotation 5a.
- the distance of the control path 7 in the stroke area 7b increases according to a cam contour over an angle of rotation in the direction of the full stroke area 7c.
- the full stroke area 7c adjoining the stroke area 7b in turn has a constant radius “R2”.
- the radius difference between R2 and R1 corresponds to a height “h 1 , corresponding to a maximum gas exchange valve stroke.
- the second stroke area 9b adjoining the second zero stroke area 9a also has has a cam contour, that is to say the distance of the control path 9 from the axis of rotation 5a increases in the stroke region 9b via an angle of rotation in the direction of the partial stroke region 9c.
- the acceleration stroke region 9b ' has a degressive, the deceleration stroke region 9b " progressive radius increase.
- the partial stroke area 9c adjoining the deceleration stroke area 9b " has a constant radius" R3 "with respect to the axis of rotation 5a.
- the radius difference between R3 and R1 corresponds to a height “h 2 ”, an average gas exchange valve stroke.
- the acceleration stroke range 9b ′ starts from a stroke of 0.6 mm and extends to a stroke height of 1.5 mm
- Deceleration stroke range 9b starts from a lifting height of 1.5 mm and extends up to a lifting height of 3.5 mm.
- the acceleration stroke area 9b ' only compensates for the kinematic moment of the spring element to a small extent and thus impresses the system with a spring-related acceleration
- the kinematic moment of the spring element 12 is overcompensated in the deceleration stroke area 9b "and thus a spring-related braking over this stroke area is impressed on the system.
- the acceleration stroke area 9b 'and the deceleration stroke area 9b can occupy different angular sections of the control path 9 or can be omitted entirely in favor of a normal cam contour.
- the second zero stroke range 9a is operatively connected to a roller element 10a of a force transmission element 10, a roller rocker arm.
- the power transmission element 10 is supported on the one hand on a lash adjuster 14, a hydraulic valve lash adjuster, which is arranged in a stationary manner in the cylinder head 3 and on the other hand on a valve stem end of a gas exchange valve 2 which is held in the closed position by a valve spring 11.
- a stationary support element 13 on which a spring element 12, a leg spring, is supported on the one hand, while on the other hand it is fixed in position on the cylinder head 3.
- the swivel motor 4 swivels in the direction of the full-stroke region 7c at a high requested load or speed and in the direction of the partial-stroke regions 9c at a low requested load or speed.
- the gas exchange valve 2 is opened in accordance with the control tracks 7 and 9.
- the pivoting movement of the pivoting motor 4 is supported by the spring element 12 when opening and the energy stored in the spring element 12 is released to the valve spring 11 during the opening process.
- the valve spring 11 When closing, when swiveling in rieh device zero stroke range 7a, 9a, the valve spring 11 largely releases the energy stored in it to the spring element 12.
- This spring-mass-spring oscillation system means that the energy requirement of the swivel motor 4 is very low, in particular with a small valve lift.
- the partial stroke area 9c arranged in the connection is a torque-neutral cam area, in which current-free holding of the gas exchange valve 2 in the open position is made possible with a maximum partial stroke, especially at low engine speeds and high loads.
- the height h 2 of the partial stroke range 9c is designed in accordance with parameters dependent on the internal combustion engine. For the intake side of an internal combustion engine, the amount of acceleration stroke area 9b 'of second actuating element 8 can be made smaller than the area of deceleration stroke area 9b ".
- the acceleration stroke area 9b 'and the deceleration stroke area 9b can have the same amount of work in order to achieve the highest possible dynamic of the partial stroke movement, and thus to expand the operating range of the partial stroke operation from idling to the highest possible speeds.
- a further advantage of the swivel actuator device 1 according to the invention is the lower power requirement at low speeds with small valve strokes compared to full valve strokes.
- the small air gap with a small valve lift of the intake valve allows supersonic intake flow speeds to be achieved which improve the mixture preparation and thus reduce the emissions of the internal combustion engine.
- a further improvement results from opening the intake valve twice, a first time for drawing in the combustion air and a second time for swirling the combustion air with fuel. This leads to a significantly improved mixing of air and fuel and thus to more even combustion.
- the opening speed of the valve movement on the exhaust side of the internal combustion engine can be reduced, thus reducing the exhaust emissions in the exhaust system. be reduced.
- the acoustic excitation of the exhaust system can thus be reduced and the overall noise level of the internal combustion engine can also be reduced.
