Definitions

  • the invention relates to a camshaft adjuster of an internal combustion engine, in particular a hydraulic camshaft adjuster.
  • a cylinder head for a valve-controlled internal combustion engine in which bearing blocks are provided for the intake and exhaust camshaft.
  • a bearing bush is provided in the bearing block to compensate for the mounting recesses needed in the bearing block and to allow the hydraulic oil supply of the camshaft adjuster in the bearing point.
  • the bushing has two axially juxtaposed openings for the Two-channel oil supply of the camshaft adjuster and a lubricant port for lubrication of the bearing point.
  • the DE 10 2004 053 572 B4 describes a hydraulic camshaft adjuster with a dual-channel oil guide in the camshaft.
  • two oil guide channels are formed, via which in each case an oil pressure chamber (depending on the desired adjustment direction) is supplied with hydraulic oil.
  • the oil guide channels extend through the camshaft and via external lines to an oil pump and an oil control valve.
  • the DE 198 17 319 A1 describes a hydraulic phaser in which a central spool is provided to supply hydraulic fluid to the working chambers of the vane phaser.
  • the central spool replaces the external valve and is integrated as a 4/2-way valve in the central mounting screw for the camshaft, which in the camshaft only a radial oil guide channel is required and the axial length of the camshaft adjuster is reduced.
  • the DE 10 2006 036 851 A1 shows a camshaft which is mounted in the cylinder head by rolling bearings. This camshaft is driven by a sprocket, which is rotatably connected at one end of the camshaft with the camshaft.
  • the object of the invention is to optimize a camshaft bearing point on the side of a hydraulic camshaft adjuster with regard to the occurring friction losses.
  • the rolling bearing is preferably a ball bearing.
  • the bearing of the invention the camshaft applicable to a wellgelzellenversteller with central pressure medium supply via a spool.
  • the space available for the arrangement of a rolling bearing can be used. But even with camshaft adjusters with axial oil guide channels, the invention can be applied.
  • the supply of hydraulic oil into the adjuster takes place on the side facing away from the camshaft. Also in this case, no oil guide channel in the camshaft is necessary, which reduces the axial space and still allows a rolling bearing of the camshaft.
  • Fig. 1 shows a camshaft adjuster 01.
  • the camshaft adjuster is designed as diegelzellenversteller in a known manner and arranged in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. It comprises an outer rotor 02, which is rotatably connected to a sprocket 03.
  • the sprocket 03 is connected via a chain with a crankshaft and is driven during operation of the internal combustion engine of this (not shown).
  • the camshaft adjuster 01 further comprises an inner rotor 04, which is rotatably connected to a camshaft 06.
  • the attachment of the inner rotor 04 on the camshaft 06 is realized via a central screw 07.
  • interlocking wings 08 are provided which form two pressure chambers 09 for the adjustment in the direction of "early” or “late” in ring sectors.
  • For adjustment is pumped depending on the desired adjustment in one of the pressure chambers 09 hydraulic oil, whereby a rotation between the inner rotor 04 and outer rotor 02, and thus an adjustment of the phase position of the camshaft 06 relative to the sprocket 03 and thus against the crankshaft.
  • a lock element (not shown) locks the phaser when the engine is stopped. During operation, this lock is hydraulically unlocked.
  • a control slide 11 is arranged in the central screw 07 coaxially with its longitudinal axis.
  • the spool 11 is axially displaceable by an actuator 12.
  • the actuator 12 is preferably a solenoid, which moves an armature 13.
  • the spool 11 forms with its annular channels 14 and radial bores 16 in the central screw 07 a multi-way valve, with which the flow of hydraulic oil to the one or the other pressure chamber 09 controlled and thus an adjustment is realized.
  • channels 17 are provided which allow the hydraulic oil flow from a radial channel 18 of the camshaft 06 via an axial passage 19 to the pressure chambers 09 via the spool 11.
  • a rolling bearing 22 is preferably arranged according to the invention adjacent to the radial channel 18 in the camshaft bearing point 23 of the cylinder head.
  • the hydraulic oil supply can take place via an axial passage in the camshaft 06.
  • the hydraulic oil supply can take place via an axial passage in the camshaft 06.
  • the adjuster bearing according to the invention of the camshaft in a rolling bearing can also be applied to other camshaft adjuster, if the axial space is available.
