Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switchable rocker arm of a valve train of an internal combustion engine, with an outer and between the side walls arranged inner lever, which inner lever has a roller mounted on a pin as a mating surface for a lifting cam between his arms, the rocker arm on a bottom at one end a system for a gas exchange valve and at the other end a pivot bearing are immanent, wherein the levers extend at one of the ends on a common axis and at the end facing away from the axis longitudinally extending, in the cam base circle aligned receptacles, wherein in at least one of the receptacles a coupling means is arranged, which is for a coupling of the lever in sections displaceable in the opposite receptacle (see US-A-5 544 626 ).
  • a respective outer lever In order to represent an aligned position of receptacles for coupling means in the cam base circle in previously known from the prior art levers, a respective outer lever has a corresponding inner lever approximately in the region of a transverse center plane bow-like cross-stop. Due to the necessary transition radii of this bow-shaped stopper seen from the arms of the outer lever in the transverse direction, such a drag lever must build relatively wide, since the inner lever can not strike in the radius range on an upper side of the cross bar. However, should a stop occur in the area of the radii, an unnecessarily high material load is to be expected. Also, conditions may occur in which there is no sufficient alignment of the coupling means for opposing recording, so that a coupling can not be realized.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a drag lever of the aforementioned type, in which the disadvantages listed are eliminated.
  • this object is achieved in that the bolt is "flying" mounted in the inner lever and slightly protrudes with one approach over the arms of the inner lever, wherein in the coupling case tops of the lugs abut surfaces of abutment surfaces, which are applied to inner surfaces of the side walls of the outer lever are.
  • the scope of this invention also relates to solutions to switchable drag levers in which a so-called "cross-lock” is applied.
  • the bolt for the role is therefore slightly wider than the inner lever designed so that the tops abut in a simple manner on the undersides of the stop surfaces in the coupling case.
  • an alignment of the images for the coupling means in the cam base circle is created.
  • a clearance of the mating surface of the inner lever in the cam base circle with respect to the cam can be realized on these stop measures.
  • fastening is meant an arrangement of the bolt in the corresponding receptacle in the inner lever, which dispenses with any attachment.
  • the bolt thus centered with its outer end faces on inner surfaces of the side walls of the outer lever itself.
  • undersides of the abutment surfaces which may possibly also be formed separately, realized complementary to tops of the bolts.
  • the stop surfaces protrude only slightly from the inner surfaces of the side walls of the outer lever inwards.
  • These can also be shown in one piece with mating surfaces for low-lift cams, which can be designed as sliding surfaces, so that there is a T or a T-like profile in cross-section in this region.
  • mating surfaces for low-lift cams which can be designed as sliding surfaces, so that there is a T or a T-like profile in cross-section in this region.
  • the proposed lost-motion spring is relatively compact.
  • a leg on a top of a crosspiece of the outer lever in the decoupling a "Ausfsch” created for the inner lever in the cylinder head direction, such that the bolt can not be lost.
  • the torsion spring as a lost-motion spring and possibly helical compression springs or the like can be used.
  • a pivot bearing for the drag lever is especially intended to a dome.
  • the drag lever can be mounted on a head of a hydraulic or mechanical support element. Possibly.
  • an arrangement of the finger lever on a pivot axis o. The like. Conceivable and provided.
  • a particularly expedient variant of a supply of hydraulic fluid to the finger lever for displacing the coupling means in at least one direction is present when the hydraulic fluid is passed via the head of the support member, the pivot bearing and a short hydraulic fluid channel directly into the receptacle for the coupling means.
  • the rocker arm can be present so that it is either mechanically locked or mechanically unlocked in the pressureless state.
  • rocker arm according to the invention may be provided on the rocker arm according to the invention also further biasing means for the at least one piston as coupling means, such as a hydraulic on both sides, an electromagnetic, a magnetic and the like.
  • the figures disclose a switchable drag lever 1 for a valve train of an internal combustion engine.
  • This has an outer lever 3.
  • an inner lever 4 is mounted between side walls 2 of the outer lever 3.
  • This has two spaced arms 7, between which runs a role as mating surface 6 for a Qurexinsky Ratio's Law
  • This role is here stored on rolling elements on a bolt 5, the "flying", therefore not fixed, runs in the inner lever 4.
  • the outer lever 3 has at one end 11 on an underside 8 designed as a dome pivot bearing 12. About this he is on a head of an example hydraulic support pivotally mounted. At the other end 9, the outer lever 3 on the underside 8 has a transverse web 25 with a system 10 for a gas exchange valve. Possibly. the drag lever 1 may also be designed so that it serves to open a plurality of identical gas exchange valves.
  • the outer lever 3 has a longitudinally extending receptacle 13 above the pivot bearing 12.
  • this receptacle 13 sits in a decoupling case, for example, a piston-like coupling means 15.
  • a axis 12a is arranged, on which the levers 3, 4 extend relative to each other pivotable.
  • a torsion spring 22 is arranged as a lost-motion spring.
  • the at least one leg 23 (see also Fig. 1 ) supported on an upper side 24 of the aforementioned transverse web 25.
  • Their other leg 26 acts against a transverse bar 27 of the inner lever 4.
  • upper sides 20 of the side walls 2 of the outer lever 3 protrude at least in the region of a center segment-like outward to form sliding surfaces as mating surfaces 21 for cams.
  • These mating surfaces 21 form of inner surfaces 19 of the side walls 2 partially and slightly inwardly projecting Anschlag vom18.
  • the bolt 5 protrudes slightly beyond the arms 7 of the inner lever 4 with its both ends 15a.
  • the cam base circle run is designed as a roller mating surface 6 of the inner lever 4 without cam contact, with the aforementioned mating surfaces 21 are supported on the outer lever 3 at its cams.
