- the thermocouple 42 changes an adjustment range of the actuating element 40, by which the actuating element 40 is displaced at a maximum adjustment of the phase position, as a function of the operating temperature. It gets smaller as the operating temperature gets higher.
- the thermocouple 42 partially or completely disconnects the contact surface regions 36, 37, 38, 39 of the magnetic elements 31, 32 of the adjustment unit 30 depending on the phase position. In the very warm operating state, the magnetic elements 31, 32 are always completely connected to each other.
- thermocouple 42 does not displace the actuator 40 axially in the direction of the first Verstellgetriebeelements 12.
- the thermocouple 42 is characterized for different operating temperatures, in which the Internal combustion engine can be operated, each before a defined Notlaufphasenwinkel.
- a change in the axial position of the actuating element 40 causes a displacement of the magnetic elements 31, 32 against each other.
- the inclined surface 43 of the setting unit 30 thus sets a change in the phase position in an adjustment of the magnetic elements 31, 32 to.
- the size of the contact surface between the two magnetic elements 31, 32 changes.
- the inclined surface 43 is thus a magnetic resistance adjustable, which opposes the flux flow to the magnetic flux.
- thermocouple 42 With the by means of the thermocouple 42 mutually adjustable magnetic elements 31, 32 of the magnetic flux, which passes through the coupling elements 23, 24, 25, 26 of the coupling unit 20, and thus the magnetic force between the coupling elements 23, 24, 25, 26 mechanically directly changeable. Due to the thermocouple 42, the mechanically set magnetic resistance of the magnetic flux guide unit 34 is temperature-dependent.
- the contact area between the two magnetic elements 31, 32 is large.
- the magnetic resistance, which opposes the magnetic flux provided by the permanent magnet 33, is thus small.
- the setting unit 30 thus sets a braking force by which the phase angle is adjusted in the direction of advance (see Figure 1).
- the contact area between the two magnetic elements 31, 32 is small.
- the magnetic resistance, which opposes the magnetic flux provided by the permanent magnet 33, is thus large.
- the setting unit 30 thus sets a braking force by which the phase position is adjusted in the direction of late (see FIG.
- the setting unit 30 can change the frictional force of the coupling unit 20 by means of the magnetic elements 31, 32.
- the setting unit 30 adjusts the emergency running phase position by changing the braking force of the coupling unit 20 of the phase adjusting unit 18.
- the coupling unit 20 is provided for the phase adjustment unit 18 and the adjustment unit 30.
- the adjusting device has only one coupling unit 20.
- a currently set phase position between the crankshaft and the camshaft 10 is kept constant.
- the rotational speed of the third adjusting gear element 14 is greater than the rotational speed of the first adjusting gear element 12
- the phase angle of the camshaft 10 is adjusted in the direction of late.
- the speed of the third Verstellgetriebeelements 14 is smaller than the rotational speed of the first Verstellgetriebeelements 12
- the phase angle of the camshaft 10 is moved toward early.
- the coupling unit 20 is opened.
- the camshaft 10 has a drag torque, for example caused by bearing points of the camshaft 10, by means of which the camshaft 10 is adjusted in the direction of retardation. If the coupling unit 20 is open, the rotational speed of the third Verstellgetriebeelements 14 by the drag torque of the camshaft 10 will be greater than the speed of the first Verstellgetriebeelements 12. The camshaft 10 is thus adjusted in the direction of late.
- the phase adjustment unit 18 sets a magnetic field strength by means of the magnetic actuator 27 whose magnetic force causes precisely one required braking force in the coupling unit 20.
- the braking force is adjusted to a value at which the speed of the third Verstellgetriebeelements 14 is equal to the speed of the first Verstellgetriebeelements 12 (see Figure 2).
- the coupling unit 20 is closed.
- the speed of the third Verstellgereteeelements 14 is smaller than the rotational speed of the first Verstellgetriebeelements 12.
- the speed of the second Verstellgereteeelements 13 is greater than the rotational speed of the first Verstellgetriebeelements 12, whereby the camshaft 10 is moved in the direction early.
- the setting unit 30 mechanically controls the phase angle of the camshaft 10 to the emergency running phase position.
- the setting unit 30 changes the braking force of the coupling unit 20 of the phase adjusting unit 18.
- the emergency running phase position always corresponds to a basic phase position adapted to the operating temperature due to the thermocouple 42.
- the setting unit 30 independently mechanically regulates the phase position to the emergency running phase.
- the magnetic actuator 27 of the phase adjustment unit 18 is de-energized.
- the basic phase position is set via the setting unit 30, which sets by means of the magnetic elements 31, 32 a necessary for setting the corresponding braking force magnetic flux.
- the adjusting unit 30 controls the phase position by means of the magnetic elements 31, 32. If the phase position, starting from the base phase position in the direction adjusted early, cause the magnetic elements 31, 32, a reduction of the magnetic flux through the coupling elements 23, 24, 25, 26, whereby the braking force the coupling unit 20 is reduced.
- the adjustment unit 30 mechanically adjusts the phase position in the direction of late. If the phase position is adjusted starting from the base phase position in the direction of late, the magnetic elements 31, 32 cause an increase in the magnetic flux through the coupling elements 23, 24, 25, 26, whereby the braking force of the coupling unit 20 is increased.
- the adjustment unit 30 mechanically adjusts the phase position in the direction of early.
- the adjustment unit 30 regulates the phase position independently, i. regardless of an external control or regulation, resistant to the emergency running phasing.
- the setting unit 30 mechanically adjusts the phase angle of the camshaft 10 initially to the basic phase position.
- the basic phase position corresponds to the Notvierphasenlage, which is set when the magnetic actuator 27, a magnetic field is set to zero.
- the phase adjustment unit 18 adjusts the phase position by means of the Magnetaktuatorik 27, starting from the set by means of the setting unit 30 basic phase position.
- a magnetic field not equal to zero is set for the magnetic actuator 27 of the phase adjustment unit 18.
- a magnetic field is set by means of the magnetic actuator 27, which amplifies the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 33.
- a magnetic field is set by the Magnetaktuatorik 27, which attenuates the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 33.
- the coupling unit 20 which is provided in the fail-safe operating mode for setting the Notonnephasenlage, provided for adjusting an adjustment angle.
- the magnetic actuator 27 of the phase adjustment unit 18 changes the braking force of the coupling unit 20 by changing the magnetic flux passing through the coupling elements 23, 24, 25, 26.
- the adjustment mechanism 35 which in the fail-safe operating mode, the two magnetic In the normal operating mode, the elements 31, 32 are displaced relative to one another, trying to adjust the phase positions by shifting the two magnetic elements 31, 32 relative to one another to a constant value.
- a current phase position is set in the normal operating mode independently of a control or regulation of the adjustment mechanism of the Magnetaktuatorik 27.
- An adjustment of the phase position in the direction of late takes place analogously.
- the reduced magnetic flux causes a reduction in the braking force of the coupling unit 20, whereby the phase position is adjusted in the late direction.
- the adjustment of the phase position in the direction of late causes the adjustment mechanism 35 increases the contact area between the two magnetic elements 31, 32. By increasing the contact area, the magnetic resistance that opposes the magnetic flux decreases, and the braking force provided by the coupling unit 20 is increased again. As soon as the braking force is increased again by the adjustment of the phase position to a value at which the phase position is kept constant, the phase position with respect to the Notlaufphasenlage is adjusted towards late.
- the adjustment angle by which the phase angle is deflected by means of the magnetic actuator 27 from the basic phase position set by the setting unit 30 depends directly on the magnetic field generated by the magnetic actuator 27.
- the magnetic field generated by the Magnetaktuatorik 27 defines only the adjustment angle, ie the deflection from the basic phase position.
- the adjusting mechanism 35 of the adjusting unit 30 thus regulates the basic phase position mechanically dependent on the adjustable by means of the phase adjustment 18 adjustment angle ..
- thermocouple 42 of the adjustment mechanism 35 which adjusts the emergency running phase position and thus the basic phase position dependent on temperature, shifts in the cold operating state, the basic phase position in the direction early. In the warm operating state, the basic phase position is delayed in the direction of late.
- the adjusting device comprises two stops, not shown, by means of which the entire angular range over which the phase angle is adjustable is limited.
- the phase angle is adjustable over a range of zero degrees to 140 degrees. Zero degrees corresponds to a maximum adjustment of the phase position in the direction of late. 140 degrees corresponds to a maximum adjustment of the phase position in the direction of early.
- the adjusting mechanism 35 sets the contact surface of the magnetic elements 3, 32 on average a larger value than in the cold operating condition. A caused by the Magnetaktuatorik 27 change of the magnetic field thus causes a stronger change in the adjustment angle in the warm operating state than in the cold operating state.
