Definitions
- Valve actuator for actuating a gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine
- the invention relates to a valve actuator for actuating a gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a valve actuator is known from DE 10 116 218 AI, in which a shaft end of the gas exchange valve is connected to an actuating piston of the valve actuator by means of at least two shell-shaped wedge pieces which surround the shaft end and are axially supported on the actuating piston, the radially outer circumferential surface of which extends conically and from a cone clamping sleeve is included.
- the cone clamping sleeve has a radially inner circumferential surface which is complementary to the cone angle of the wedge pieces and is axially braced against it by a threaded connection formed on the wedge pieces. Due to the formation of the cone angle and threaded connection on the wedge pieces, these are relatively complex components that are very complex to manufacture.
- a threaded bolt is provided for connecting the gas exchange valve to the valve actuator, which is axially positively and rotatably connected to the wedge pieces.
- the cone clamping sleeve is formed in one piece by the actuating piston and the threaded section engages with a corresponding threaded section on a radially inner circumferential surface of the actuating piston enables the number of parts of the valve actuator to be reduced.
- the threaded bolt can be connected to the wedge pieces by means of ring beads which engage in ring grooves and which are arranged in a ring circumferentially around the wedge pieces or on the threaded bolt.
- Figure 1 is a side cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of a valve actuator according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional illustration along the line II-II in FIG. 1.
- 3 shows a cross-sectional view along the line III-III in FIG.
- FIG. 1 A gas exchange valve 1 of a valve train of an internal combustion engine is shown in FIG. 1, which is actuated by an actuating piston 2 of a valve actuator 4 in such a way that it executes opening and closing movements in the axial direction.
- the gas exchange valve 1 has a valve stem 5 in a known manner, which extends in the axial direction away from the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
- the valve stem 5 has a stem end 5a remote from the combustion chamber, which is surrounded by two half-shell-shaped wedge pieces 6, 7.
- the shaft end 5a has at least one annular groove 8, into which at least one annular bead 9 formed on the inner circumference of the wedge pieces 6, 7 engages radially.
- a total of three axially equidistant ring grooves 8 are provided on the valve stem 5 and three corresponding ring beads 9.
- the annular beads 9 are formed by substantially semicircular partial beads on the two wedge pieces 6, 7, which complement each other in a circle to form the annular beads 9.
- the wedge pieces 6, 7 form on their outer peripheral surface a cone-shaped section 10 which tapers with increasing distance from the gas exchange valve 1.
- the two wedge pieces 6, 7 together form a clamping wedge 11 which interacts with a corresponding inner cone surface 12 of a cone clamping sleeve 13.
- the conical clamping sleeve 13 is integrally formed on the end 14 of the actuating piston 2 facing the combustion chamber.
- the actuating piston 2 extends in the axial direction along an axis 15 concentric with a longitudinal axis 17 of the valve stem 5 of the gas exchange valve 1.
- the valve actuator 4 has an actuator housing 20, which is axially penetrated by the actuating piston 2.
- In the actuator housing 20 there is a guide sleeve 18, within which the actuating piston 2 is guided axially displaceably on the actuating piston 2 via a guide collar 23.
- a first chamber 22 is formed in the actuator housing 20 on the side of the guide collar 23 facing the combustion chamber and is connected to a first pressure medium line, not shown, through a first opening 21 in the wall of the actuator housing 20.
- the first chamber 22 is delimited by the actuator housing 20, the guide sleeve 18 and the actuating piston 2 including the guide collar 23.
- a first sealing ring 26 prevents pressure medium, for example hydraulic fluid, located in the first chamber 22 from escaping from the actuator housing 20 via a first annular gap 24.
- a second chamber 25 is formed in the actuator housing 20 on the side of the guide collar 23 facing away from the combustion chamber and is connected to a second pressure medium line, also not shown, through a second opening 27 in the wall of the actuator housing 20.
- the second chamber 25 is also delimited by the actuator housing 20, the guide sleeve 18 and the actuating piston 2 including the guide collar 23.
- a second sealing ring 28 prevents pressure medium located in the second chamber 25 from escaping from the actuator housing 20 via a second annular gap 29.
- the actuating piston 2 is hollow-cylindrical.
- a constriction 38 is located on the inner circumference of the actuating piston 2 between the cone sleeve 13 near the combustion chamber and an end 2a remote from the combustion chamber.
- the threaded bolt 41 is arranged concentrically within the actuating piston 2.
- the external thread 40 extends axially on the threaded bolt 41 via a threaded section 31 and is at least partially in engagement with the external thread 40.
- the threaded bolt 41 is connected to the valve stem 5 in an axially positive manner, rotatable in the circumferential direction.
- the cone clamping sleeve 13 and the wedge pieces 6, 7 are axially extended beyond the shaft end 5a of the valve stem 5, encompassing an end 41a of the threaded bolt 41 near the combustion chamber.
- at least one radial projection 42 is provided on the inner circumference of the clamping wedge 11, which in the example is designed as an annular circumferential bead which engages radially in at least one recess 43 on the outer circumference of the threaded bolt 41.
- the recess 43 is designed as an annular circumferential groove and a total of three axially aquidistant beads 42 are arranged on the clamping wedge 11 and three corresponding grooves 43 on the threaded bolt 41, in which the beads 42 engage radially.
- an end 41b of the threaded bolt 41 remote from the combustion chamber is designed as an external hexagon 45 for attaching a screwing tool, not shown.
- the threaded bolt 41 can be screwed into the internal thread 39 by means of the screwing tool, the clamping wedge 11 being clamped axially and radially with the cone clamping sleeve 13 because of the positive connection with the clamping wedge 11. So that the actuating piston 2 does not rotate when the threaded bolt 41 is screwed in due to frictional engagement, a second, likewise hexagonal, tool can be attached to the shaft end 2a in a tool holder 46.
- Fig. 1 the gas exchange valve 1 is shown in an open position in which both chambers 22, 25 are pressurized via the pressure medium lines. Due to the smaller axial piston area of the actuating piston 2 on the first chamber 22, the actuating piston 2 is axially adjusted toward the combustion chamber. To close the gas exchange valve 1, the second chamber 25 is relieved of pressure, the first chamber 22 always remains pressurized. Due to the excess pressure present in the first chamber 22, the actuating piston 2 is then displaced upwards in the direction of the second chamber 25.
- the gas exchange valve 1 is inserted into the valve stem guide of the cylinder head (not shown) and then the wedge pieces 6, 7 are placed on the stem end 5a. In this case, the end 41a of the threaded bolt 41 is also fixed between the wedge pieces 6, 7.
- the valve actuator 4 is then placed from above onto the preassembled gas exchange valve 1, threaded bolt 41 and wedge pieces 6, 7 until the outer surface of the clamping wedge 11 bears against the inner cone surface 11.
- a screwing tool in the actuating piston 2 is guided to the external hexagon 45 and the threaded bolt 41 is axially adjusted by turning the thread 37, 39. In this way, the clamping wedge 11 and the cone clamping sleeve 13 are clamped together. Possibly. the setting piston 2 must be fixed in the direction of rotation using another tool.
- the applicability of the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment described above. Numerous possible changes in the specific embodiment are conceivable which do not significantly change the meaning of the invention.
- the actuating piston 2 could be accommodated more or less completely in the actuator housing 20.
- the number of grooves 9, 43 and beads 8, 42 can be varied.
- the grooves or beads can also be formed on the other component without changing the mode of operation of the valve actuator.
- the Starting points for turning tools can be designed differently from the described embodiment.
