  • the cam elements 11b, 12b can be moved in the first switching direction.
  • the first actuator 27b which moves the first switching element 25b, has a solenoid unit 56b.
  • the solenoid unit 56b includes a coil 57b disposed in a stator 58b of the solenoid unit 56b.
  • a magnetic field can be generated, which interacts with a permanent magnet 59b, which is arranged in the switching element 25b.
  • the switching element 25b can be extended with the switching pin 51b.
  • a core 60b amplifies the magnetic field generated by the solenoid unit 56b.
  • the permanent magnet 59b When the coil 57b is deenergized, the permanent magnet 59b interacts with the surrounding material. In the neutral position, the permanent magnet 59b interacts with the core 60b of the solenoid unit 59b, which is made of a magnetizable material. In the switching position, the permanent magnet 59b interacts with the stator 58b of the actuator 27b. In a de-energized operating state, the permanent magnet 59b stabilizes the switching element 25b in the switching position, or the neutral position.
  • the permanent magnet 59b interacts with the field of the solenoid unit 56b.
  • an attractive force and a repulsive force can be realized.
  • a polarization of the solenoid unit 56b can be changed by means of a current direction, with which the solenoid unit 56b is energized.
  • the electromagnet unit 56b is energized in the current direction in which the repulsive force arises between the electromagnet unit 56b and the permanent magnet 59b.
  • a spring unit 61b is arranged, which also exerts a force on the switching element 25b.
  • the force of the spring unit 61b is directed in a direction corresponding to a direction of the repulsive force between the solenoid unit 56b and the permanent magnet 59b, thereby accelerating an extension operation of the switching element 25b.
  • the second switching unit 24b is designed analogously to the first switching unit 23b.
  • the second switching unit 23b has a switching pin 52b, which engages in the switching path 36b in a switching position of the switching element 25b.
  • the cam elements 11b, 12b are displaced in the second, the first switching direction opposite switching direction.
  • the cam elements 11b, 12b are partially coupled in terms of motion technology via the shift gate 13b.
  • the actuating device 10b By means of the actuating device 10b, the cam elements 11b, 12b can be displaced sequentially.
  • the cam elements 11b, 12b are displaced in response to a rotation angle of the base camshaft 35b. In the first shift direction, first, the cam member 11b is displaced, and subsequently, when the cam member 11b is completely shifted, the cam member becomes 12b moved. In the second switching direction, first the cam element 12b and then the cam element 11b is displaced.
  • the cam element 11b is designed in two parts and has two cam element parts 53b, 54b, which are arranged on both sides of the cam element 12b.
  • the cam member parts 53b, 54b are fixedly connected to each other by means of an inner coupling rod 55b for axial movement.
  • each intermediate segment 29b-34b of the link tracks 36b, 37b of the shift gate 13b has a restoring element 72b-77b (cf. Fig. 5 ).
  • the switching element 25b, 26b which engages in the corresponding slide track 36b, 37b, are shifted back into its neutral position.
  • the reset elements 72b-77b thus form a reset unit 22b, by means of which a switching operation can be terminated prematurely.
  • the restoring elements 72b-77b are all made the same, which is why the following description of the restoring element 72b can also be analogously transferred to the remaining restoring elements 73b-77b.
  • the return element 72b is designed as an elevation above a slide track base level 78b and arranged completely in the first slide track 36b. In the region of the restoring element 72b, a radial height 79b of a slide track base 80b increases or the radial depth of the first slide track 36b decreases.
  • a radial extent 81b of the slide track which is formed by a distance between a shift gate base level 42b, which corresponds to the radial depth of the first slide track 36b, is always greater than zero (see. Fig. 6 ).
  • the two cam elements 11b, 12b can be switched to any desired switching positions. For example, if the cam member 11b of the switching position with zero stroke in the switching position with full stroke and the cam member 12b are switched from the switching position with zero stroke in the switching position with partial stroke, the first switching element 25b is extended and by means of Einspursegment 38b into engagement with the first slide track 36b brought.
  • the first cam member 11b is moved from the switching position with zero stroke in the switching position with partial stroke.
  • the switching segment 14b is followed by the intermediate segment 29b with the restoring element 72b.
  • the electromagnet unit 56b of the first actuator 27b is energized and the switching element 25b follows a contour of the intermediate segment 29b.
  • the second cam element 12b is moved from the switching position with zero stroke into the switching position with partial stroke.
  • the switching segment 16b is followed by the intermediate segment 31b with the restoring element 74b.
  • the actuator 27b is energized again and the switching element 25b follows a contour of the intermediate segment 31b.
  • the first cam element 11b is switched from the switching position with partial stroke in the switching position with full stroke.
  • the switching segment 18b is followed by the intermediate segment 33b with the return element 76b.
  • the switching element 25b passes through the intermediate segment 33b, energization of the actuator 27b is dispensed with. Thereby, the switching element 25b is moved back by the return element 76b in its neutral position, whereby the switching element 25b is out of engagement with the first slide track 36b and the second cam member 12b remains in the switching position with partial stroke.
