In modernen Brennkraftmaschinen werden Vorrichtungen zur variablen Einstellung der Steuerzeiten von Gaswechselventilen eingesetzt, um die Phasenrelation zwischen Kurbelwelle und Nockenwelle in einem definierten Winkelbereich, zwischen einer maximalen Früh- und einer maximalen Spätposition, variabel gestalten zu können. Die Vorrichtung besteht üblicherweise aus einer Nockenwelle, einer hydraulischen Phasenstelleinrichtung, mittels derer durch Druckmittelzufuhr, bzw. -abfuhr eine Phasenrelation zwischen der Kurbelwelle und der Nockenwelle gezielt verändert werden kann, und einem Druckmittelverteiler, mittels dem der Phasenstelleinrichtung Druckmittel zugeführt bzw. von dieser abgeführt werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Phasenstelleinrichtung in einen Antriebsstrang integriert, über welchen Drehmoment von der Kurbelwelle auf die Nockenwelle übertragen wird. Dieser Antriebsstrang kann beispielsweise als Riemen-, Ketten- oder Zahnradtrieb realisiert sein.In modern internal combustion engines devices for variable adjustment of the timing of gas exchange valves are used to make the phase relation between the crankshaft and camshaft in a defined angular range, between a maximum early and a maximum late position variable. The device usually consists of a camshaft, a hydraulic phase adjusting device, by means of which a phase relation between the crankshaft and the camshaft can be selectively changed by pressure medium supply or discharge, and a pressure medium distributor, by means of which the phase adjusting means pressure medium can be supplied or discharged from this.

Dabei kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass der zweite Druckmittelkanal als Längsnut an einer Außenmantelfläche des Druckmittelverteilers oder an einer Innenmantelfläche der Nockenwelle im Bereich des Druckmittelverteilers ausgebildet ist.The second pressure medium channel can be formed, for example, within the pressure medium distributor. Alternatively it can be provided to form the second pressure medium channel at an interface between the cavity and the pressure medium distributor. It can be provided, for example, that the second pressure medium channel as a longitudinal groove on an outer circumferential surface of the pressure medium distributor or is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the camshaft in the region of the pressure medium distributor.
Der Druckmitteldrehübertrager kann beispielsweise als Nockenwellenlager ausgebildet sein.The pressure medium rotary transformer may be formed, for example, as a camshaft bearing.
Des Weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Druckmittelpfad zumindest teilweise durch den Druckmittelverteiler ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, it can be provided that the pressure medium path is at least partially formed by the pressure medium distributor.
Die Vorrichtung weist zumindest ein hydraulische Phasenstelleinrichtung eine Nockenwelle und einen Druckmittelverteiler auf. Die Phasenstelleinrichtung umfasst zumindest ein Antriebselement und ein Abtriebselement. Das Antriebselement steht im montierten Zustand der Vorrichtung über einen Zugmitteltrieb, beispielsweise einem Riemen-oder Kettentrieb, oder einen Zahnradtrieb, mit der Kurbelwelle in Antriebsverbindung. Das Abtriebselement ist in einem Winkelbereich schwenkbar relativ zu dem Antriebselement angeordnet und drehfest an der Nockenwelle befestigt.The device has at least one hydraulic phase adjusting device on a camshaft and a pressure medium distributor. The phase adjusting device comprises at least one drive element and an output element. The drive element is in the assembled state of the device via a traction drive, such as a belt or chain drive, or a gear drive, with the crankshaft in drive connection. The output member is pivotally mounted in an angular range relative to the drive element and rotatably secured to the camshaft.
innerhalb der Vorrichtung ist zumindest eine Druckkammer vorgesehen, durch deren Druckbeaufschlagung das Abtriebselement relativ zum Antriebselement und damit die Nockenwelle relativ zur Kurbelwelle verschwenkt werden kann. Vorteilhafterweise sind ein oder mehrere Paare gegeneinander wirkender Druckkammern vorgesehen.Within the device, at least one pressure chamber is provided, by the pressurization of which the output element relative to the drive element and thus the camshaft can be pivoted relative to the crankshaft. Advantageously, one or more pairs of mutually acting pressure chambers are provided.
Die Nockenwelle ist als Hohlwelle mit einem Hohlraum ausgebildet. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch realisiert sein, dass die Nockenwelle aus einem Rohr besteht, dessen eines Ende verschlossen ist und auf dem Nocken kraft-, formoder stoffschlüssig befestigt sind. Ebenso denkbar sind aber auch massiv ausgeführte Nockenwellen, die einen axialen Kanal, in Form einer Sacklochbohrung aufweisen, der in eine Aufnahme mündet, in der der Druckmittelverteiler angeordnet ist.The camshaft is designed as a hollow shaft with a cavity. This can be realized, for example, by the fact that the camshaft consists of a tube, whose one end is closed and on the cam force, are fixed or cohesively. But also conceivable are solidly executed camshafts, which have an axial channel, in the form of a blind hole, which opens into a receptacle in which the pressure medium distributor is arranged.
Die Nockenwelle ist in mehreren Nockenwellenlagern gelagert, wobei der Hohlraum mit zumindest einem der Nockenwellenlager über radiale Öffnungen in der Nockenwelle kommuniziert. Der Druckmittelverteiler ist in einer Aufnahme der Nockenwelle aufgenommen, wobei diese Aufnahme mit dem Hohlraum kommuniziert. Die Aufnahme kann beispielsweise Teil des Hohlraums sein.The camshaft is supported in a plurality of camshaft bearings, the cavity communicating with at least one of the camshaft bearings via radial openings in the camshaft. The pressure medium distributor is received in a receptacle of the camshaft, said receptacle communicating with the cavity. The receptacle may be part of the cavity, for example.
Die Nockenwelle weist eine Öffnung im Bereich der Aufnahme auf, in der der Druckmittelverteiler angeordnet ist. In diesem Bereich ist ein Druckmitteldrehübertrager angeordnet. Dieser kann die Nockenwelle beispielsweise vollständig in Umfangsrichtung umgreifen. Dabei kann der Druckmitteldrehübertrager als Nockenwellenlager oder als separates Bauteil ausgebildet sein. Über den Druckmitteldrehübertrager und die Öffnung wird dem Inneren der Nockenwelle während des Betriebs der Brennkraftmaschine permanent oder in Intervallen Druckmittel zugeführt. Innerhalb der Nockenwelle trennt der Druckmittelverteiler einen Druckmittelpfad, der zur Versorgung der Phasenstelleinrichtung vorgesehen ist von einem zweiten Druckmittelkanal, der in den Hohlraum der Nockenwelle mündet und über den die von dem Druckmitteldrehübertrager separaten Nockenwellenlager mit Schmiermittel versorgt werden. Der Druckmittelverteiler schließt den Hohlraum, abgesehen von dem zweiten Druckmittelkanal, druckdicht nach außen ab. In dem zweiten Druckmittelkanal kann zusätzlich ein Filterelement integriert sein, der in dem Schmier- bzw. Druckmittel befindliche Fremdkörper von den Nockenwellenlagern fernhält und somit den Verschleiß der Lagerstellen verringert. Da sämtliche Nockenwellenlager über den zweiten Druckmittelkanal mit Schmier- / Druckmittel versorgt werden, wird in dieser Ausführungsform nur ein einziges Filterelement benötigt. Der Druckmitteldrehübertrager kann neben der Führung der Schmier- / Druckmittelströme noch weitere Funktionen erfüllen. Beispielsweise kann ein Gewindeabschnitt an diesem ausgebildet sein, mittels dem die Phasenstelleinrichtung, beispielsweise das Abtriebselement, drehfest mit der Nockenwelle verbunden werden kann. Ebenso denkbar ist, dass der Druckmittelverteiler ein Steuerventil aufweist, über welches die Druckmittelströme zu und von den Druckkammern der Phasenstelleinrichtung gesteuert werden können. Somit können mehrere Funktionalitäten durch ein Bauteil dargestellt werden, wodurch die Anzahl der Bauteile und somit der Montageaufwand, der Bauraumbedarf der Vorrichtung und deren Kosten sinken.The camshaft has an opening in the region of the receptacle in which the pressure medium distributor is arranged. In this area, a pressure medium rotary transformer is arranged. This can surround the camshaft, for example, completely in the circumferential direction. In this case, the pressure medium rotary transformer can be designed as a camshaft bearing or as a separate component. About the pressure medium rotary transformer and the opening is supplied to the interior of the camshaft during operation of the internal combustion engine permanently or at intervals pressure medium. Within the camshaft, the pressure medium distributor separates a pressure medium path which is provided for supplying the phase adjusting device by a second pressure medium channel, which opens into the cavity of the camshaft and over which the camshaft bearing separate from the pressure medium rotary transformer are supplied with lubricant. The pressure medium distributor closes the cavity, apart from the second pressure medium channel, pressure-tight to the outside. In addition, a filter element can be integrated in the second pressure medium channel, which keeps foreign bodies in the lubricant or pressure medium away from the camshaft bearings and thus reduces the wear of the bearing points. Since all camshaft bearings are supplied with lubricant / pressure medium via the second pressure medium channel, only a single filter element is required in this embodiment. The pressure medium rotary transformer can fulfill other functions in addition to the leadership of the lubricant / pressure medium flows. For example, a threaded portion may be formed on this, by means of which the phase adjusting device, such as the output member, rotatably connected to the camshaft can be connected. It is also conceivable that the pressure medium distributor has a control valve, via which the pressure medium flows can be controlled to and from the pressure chambers of the phase adjusting device. Thus, several functionalities can be represented by a component, whereby the number of components and thus the assembly costs, the space requirement of the device and their costs decrease.
Der zweite Druckmittelkanal, der einerseits mit der Öffnung und damit mit dem Druckmitteldrehübertrager und andererseits mit dem Hohlraum der Nockenwelle kommuniziert ist zumindest teilweise von dem Druckmittelverteiler ausgebildet. Denkbar ist beispielsweise ein Druckmittelverteiler, in dessen Innerem eine Bohrung vorgesehen ist, die von dem Druckmittelpfad abzweigt, der die Phasenstelleinrichtung mit Druckmittel versorgt. In diesem Fall ist der zweite Druckmittelkanal alleine durch den Druckmittelverteiler ausgebildet. Ebenso denkbar sind Ausführungsformen, in denen der zweite Druckmittelkanal an einer Grenzfläche zwischen dem Druckmittelverteiler und der Nockenwelle, beispielsweise einer Innenmantelfläche der Nockenwelle und einer Außenmantelfläche des Druckmittelverteilers, ausgebildet ist. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine Längsnut realisiert werden, die an der Außenmantelfläche des Druckmittelverteilers oder der Innenmantelfläche der Nockenwelle ausgebildet ist.The second pressure medium channel, which communicates on the one hand with the opening and thus with the pressure medium rotary transformer and on the other hand with the cavity of the camshaft is at least partially formed by the pressure medium distributor. It is conceivable, for example, a pressure medium distributor, in the interior of a Bore is provided, which branches off from the pressure medium path, which supplies the phase adjusting device with pressure medium. In this case, the second pressure medium channel is formed solely by the pressure medium distributor. Likewise conceivable are embodiments in which the second pressure medium channel is formed at an interface between the pressure medium distributor and the camshaft, for example an inner lateral surface of the camshaft and an outer lateral surface of the pressure medium distributor. This can be realized for example by a longitudinal groove which is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the pressure medium distributor or the inner circumferential surface of the camshaft.
Vorteilhafterweise ist eine minimale Durchflussfläche des zweiten Druckmittelkanals kleiner ausgeführt, als eine minimale Durchflussfläche des Druckmittelpfads zwischen der Öffnung und der Phasenstelleinrichtung. Beispielsweise kann der zweite Druckmittelkanal eine Drosselstelle aufweisen. Die Drosselstelle kann beispielsweise mittels eines separaten Bauteils realisiert sein, welches in dem zweiten Druckmittelkanal angeordnet ist. Somit kann der Druckmittelstrom zu den Nockenwellenlagern auf das erforderliche Maß reduziert werden, wohingegen der Phasenstelleinrichtung das Druckmittel ungedrosselt zugeführt werden kann. Der hohe Druckmittelstrom zu der Phasenstelleinrichtung führt zu einem hohen Ansprechverhalten und hohen Verstellgeschwindigkeiten. Gleichzeitig wird der benötigte Volumenstrom dadurch begrenzt, dass den Nockenwellenlagern ein geringerer Volumenstrom zugeführt wird. Dies entlastet die Druckmittelpumpe der Brennkraftmaschine.Advantageously, a minimum flow area of the second pressure medium channel is made smaller than a minimum flow area of the pressure medium path between the opening and the phase adjusting device. For example, the second pressure medium channel may have a throttle point. The throttle point may for example be realized by means of a separate component, which is arranged in the second pressure medium channel. Thus, the pressure medium flow to the camshaft bearings can be reduced to the required degree, whereas the phase adjusting device, the pressure medium can be supplied unthrottled. The high pressure medium flow to the phase adjusting device leads to a high response and high adjustment speeds. At the same time, the required volume flow is limited by the fact that the camshaft bearings, a lower flow rate is supplied. This relieves the pressure medium pump of the internal combustion engine.

Das Antriebselement 14 weist ein Gehäuse 15 und zwei Seitendeckel 17, 18 auf, die an den axialen Seitenflächen des Gehäuses 15 angeordnet sind. Das Abtriebselement 16 ist in Form eines Flügelrades ausgeführt und weist ein im Wesentlichen zylindrisch ausgeführtes Nabenelement 19 auf, von dessen äußerer zylindrischer Mantelfläche sich in der dargestellten Ausführungsform fünf Flügel 20 in radialer Richtung nach außen erstrecken. Ausgehend von einer äußeren Umfangswand 21 des Gehäuses 15 erstrecken sich fünf Vorsprünge 22 radial nach innen. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Vorsprünge 22 und die Flügel 20 einteilig mit der Umfangswand 21 bzw. dem Nabenelement 19 ausgebildet. Das Antriebselement 14 ist mittels radial innen liegender Umfangswände der Vorsprünge 22 relativ zu dem Abtriebselement 16 drehbar zu diesem angeordnet.The
An einer äußeren Mantelfläche des ersten Seitendeckels 17 ist ein Kettenrad 23 ausgebildet, über das mittels eines nicht dargestellten Kettentriebs Drehmoment von der Kurbelwelle 2 auf das Antriebselement 14 übertragen werden kann. Das Abtriebselement 16 ist drehfest mit der Nockenwelle 6,7 verbunden. Zu diesem Zweck ist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform der Druckmittelverteiler 13 mit einem Gewindeabschnitt 24 versehen, der in einen Gewindeabschnitt 25 der Nockenwelle 6, 7 eingreift. Der Druckmittelverteiler 13 durchgreift eine Zentralöffnung 16a des Abtriebselements 16. Dabei liegt ein Absatz des Druckmittelverteilers 13 an der der Nockenwelle 6, 7 abgewandten Seitenfläche des Abtriebselements 16 an.On an outer lateral surface of the first side cover 17, a
Je einer der Seitendeckel 17, 18 ist an einer der axialen Seitenflächen des Gehäuses 15 angeordnet und drehfest an diesem fixiert. Zu diesem Zweck ist in jedem Vorsprung 22 eine Axialöffnung 26 vorgesehen. Des Weiteren sind in den Seitendeckeln 17, 18 jeweils fünf Öffnungen vorgesehen, die derart angeordnet sind, dass diese mit den Axialöffnungen 26 fluchten. Jeweils eine Schraube 27 durchgreift eine Öffnung des zweiten Seitendeckels 18, eine Axialöffnung 26 und eine Öffnung des ersten Seitendeckels 17. Dabei greift ein Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 27 in einen Gewindeabschnitt ein, der in der Öffnung des ersten Seitendeckels 17 ausgebildet ist.Depending on one of the side covers 17, 18 is arranged on one of the axial side surfaces of the housing 15 and rotatably fixed thereto. For this purpose, an
Innerhalb der Vorrichtung 11 ist zwischen jeweils zwei in Umfangsrichtung benachbarten Vorsprüngen 22 ein Druckraum 28 ausgebildet. Jeder der Druckräume 28 wird in Umfangsrichtung von gegenüberliegenden, im Wesentlichen radial verlaufenden Begrenzungswänden 29 benachbarter Vorsprünge 22, in axialer Richtung von den Seitendeckeln 17, 18, radial nach innen von dem Nabenelement 19 und radial nach außen von der Umfangswand 21 begrenzt. In jeden der Druckräume 28 ragt ein Flügel 20, wobei die Flügel 20 derart ausgebildet sind, dass diese sowohl an den Seitendeckeln 17, 18, als auch an der Umfangswand 21 anliegen. Jeder Flügel 20 teilt somit den jeweiligen Druckraum 28 in zwei gegeneinander wirkende Druckkammern 30, 31.Within the
Das Abtriebselement 16 ist in einem definierten Winkelbreich drehbar zu dem Antriebselement 14 angeordnet. Der Winkelbereich wird in einer Drehrichtung des Abtriebselements 16 dadurch begrenzt, dass die Flügel 20 an je einer korrespondierenden Begrenzungswand 29 (Frühanschlag 32) der Druckräume 28 zum Anliegen kommen. Analog wird der Winkelbereich in der anderen Drehrichtung dadurch begrenzt, dass die Flügel 20 an den anderen Begrenzungswänden 29 der Druckräume 28, die als Spätanschlag 33 dienen, zum Anliegen kommen.The output element 16 is arranged rotatably in a defined Winkelbreich to the drive element 14. The angular range is limited in one direction of rotation of the driven element 16 in that the
Durch Druckbeaufschlagung einer Gruppe von Druckkammern 30, 31 und Druckentlastung der anderen Gruppe kann die Phasenlage des Antriebselements 14 zum Abtriebselement 16 (und damit die Phasenlage der Nockenwelle 6, 7 zur Kurbelwelle 2) variiert werden. Durch Druckbeaufschlagung beider Gruppen von Druckkammern 30, 31 kann die Phasenlage konstant gehalten werden.By pressurizing a group of
Zur Versorgung der Phasenstelleinrichtung 12 mit Druckmittel ist der Druckmittelverteiler 13 mit einem Steuerventil 34 versehen. Das Steuerventil 34 umfasst ein im Wesentlichen hohlzylindrisch ausgebildetes Ventilgehäuse 35 und einen Steuerkolben 36, der innerhalb des Ventilgehäuses 35 axial verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Das Ventilgehäuse 35 ist mit einem Zulaufanschluss P, einem Ablaufanschluss T, und zwei Arbeitsanschlüssen A, B versehen.To supply the
Der Druckmittelverteiler 13 durchgreift die Zentralöffnung 16a des Abtriebselements 16, wobei dessen nockenwellenzugewandter Abschnitt in einer Aufnahme 37 der hohl ausgebildeten Nockenwelle 6, 7 angeordnet ist. Die Nockenwelle 6, 7 weist im Bereich der Aufnahme 37 mehrere Öffnungen 38 auf, die einerseits mit einem Druckmitteldrehübertrager 39, welcher die Nockenwelle 6, 7 zumindest teilweise umgreift, und andererseits mit dem Inneren der Nockenwelle 6, 7 kommunizieren. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Druckmitteldrehübertrager 39 gleichzeitig als Nockenwellenlager 50 ausgebildet. Über den Druckmitteldrehübertrager 39 und die Öffnungen 38 wird dem Inneren der Nockenwelle 6, 7 während des Betriebs der Brennkraftmaschine 1 Druckmittel aus deren Schmiermittelkreislauf zugeführt. Denkbar sind auch Ausführungsformen, in denen den Druckmitteldrehübertrager 39 separat zu den Nockenwellenlagern 50 ausgeführt ist und ausschließlich die Druckmittelübergabe zwischen zylinderkopffesten Bauteilen und der Nockenwelle 6, 7 ermöglicht.The
Der Druckmittelverteiler 13 ist derart ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass ein Druckmittelpfad 40 ausgebildet wird, der einerseits mit den Öffnungen 38 und andererseits mit dem Zulaufanschluss P kommuniziert. Der Druckmittelpfad 40 besteht in der dargestellten Ausführungsform aus einem ersten Druckmittelkanal 41 zwischen der Außenmantelfläche des Druckmittelverteilers 13 und der Innenmantelfläche der Nockenwelle 6, 7, der mit Radialöffnungen 42 kommuniziert, die wiederrum mit dem Inneren des Druckmittelverteilers 13 kommunizieren. Von dort gelangt das Druckmittel über ein Rückschlagventil 43 und einen axialen Kanal 44 zu dem Zulaufanschluss P.The
Abhängig von der axialen Stellung des Steuerkolbens 36 zu dem Ventilgehäuse 35, gelangt das Druckmittel entweder zu dem ersten oder zweiten Arbeitsanschluss A, B und von dort über radiale Druckmittelleitungen 45, 46 zu den ersten bzw. zweiten Druckkammern 30, 31. Gleichzeitig wird das Druckmittel aus den anderen Druckkammern 30, 31 über die Druckmittelleitungen 45, 46 zu dem Steuerventil 34 zurückgeführt und über den Ablaufanschluss T ausgesto-βen. Die axiale Stellung des Steuerkolbens 36 relativ zu dem Ventilgehäuse 35 ist mittels einer elektromagnetischen Stelleinheit 47 gezielt einstellbar.Depending on the axial position of the
Im Inneren des Druckmittelverteilers 13 ist ein zweiter Druckmittelkanal 48 vorgesehen, der einerseits über die Radialöffnungen 42 und den ersten Druckmittelkanal 41 mit den Öffnungen 38 und andererseits mit einem Hohlraum 49 der hohl ausgebildeten Nockenwelle 6, 7 kommuniziert. Der zweite Druckmittelkanal 48 ist in den in den
Um eine hohe Ansprechgeschwindigkeit und eine hohe Verstellgeschwindigkeit der Phasenstelleinrichtung 12 zu gewährleisten, ist es erforderlich einen hohen Volumenstrom zu der Phasenstelleinrichtung 12 zu ermöglichen. Gleichzeitig ist es vorteilhaft den Volumenstrom zu den Nockenwellenlagern 50 auf ein deren Funktionsfähigkeit gewährleistendes Minimum zu begrenzen. Dadurch kann der benötigte Volumenstrom, der über den Druckmitteldrehübertrager 39 bereitgestellt werden muss, gesenkt werden, wobei gleichzeige eine hohe Ansprech- und Verstellgeschwindigkeit der Phasenstelleinrichtung 12 gewährleistet wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist innerhalb des zweiten Druckmittelkanals 48 eine Drossel 52 vorgesehen, die den Druckmittelstrom von dem Druckmitteldrehübertrager 39 zu den Lagerflächen der Nockenwellenlagern 50 begrenzt, ohne den Druckmittelstrom zu der Phasenstelleinrichtung 12 zu behindern. In der in
Mittels der Erfindung können eine oder mehrere von dem Druckmitteldrehübertrager 39 separate Nockenwellenlager 50 mit Schmiermittel versorgt werden. Somit können die sonst in dem Zylinderkopf üblichen Strukturen zur Schmiermittelversorgung jedes einzelnen Nockenwellenlagers 50 entfallen, wodurch die Komplexität und die Kosten des Zylinderkopfes gesenkt werden. Durch die Druckmittelversorgung aller Nockenwellenlager 50 über den Hohlraum 49 der Nockenwelle 6, 7 ist nur eine Druckmittelzuführung zu der Nockenwelle 6, 7 notwendig, über die gleichzeitig die Phasenstelleinrichtung 12 versorgt wird. Die Ausbildung des zweiten Druckmittelkanals 48 durch den Druckmittelverteiler 13 verringert die Kosten und die Komplexität der Vorrichtung 11 deutlich. Somit kann die Versorgung der Phasenstelleinrichtung 12 und der Nockenwellenlagern 50 mittels eines einzigen Bauteils realisiert werden, wodurch der Montageaufwand beträchtlich sinkt.By means of the invention, one or more of the pressure medium rotary transformer 39 separate camshaft bearing 50 can be supplied with lubricant. Thus, the usual in the cylinder head structures for supplying lubricant to each individual camshaft bearing 50 can be omitted, whereby the complexity and the cost of the cylinder head can be reduced.
