Definitions

  • Such actuator for reciprocating internal combustion engines is from the WO 2010/097298 A1 known.
  • the permanent magnets operatively connected to the solenoid unit are secured to the inner ends of the control needles.
  • At the control pins engage spring, which load the control pins together with permanent magnets in the direction of clamping body and clamp them to set the Aktorstatte in its inner position, whereas the solenoid unit attracts the permanent magnets and thus the control pins against the force of the springs and thus the clamping body Esthat shown in that the actuator pins are not locked quickly when being pushed in by the ejection ramp or, for example, caused by vibrations of the reciprocating internal combustion engine, are released in the latching device and contact the displacement grooves or the circumferential region adjacent to the displacement grooves.
  • the unwanted loosening of the lock can also occur when the actuator pin passes over edges on the high circle of the displacement cam unit. If the actuator pin slides in the direction of the cam contour of the sliding cam unit, it is reset when the ejection ramp is passed over, ie the sunken actuator pin is pushed back to the level of the high-revving cam unit. In this case, the control needle immediately after pushing up the Aktorstattes again ensure the locking of the locking device, which is only the case when caused by the spring force of the control needle acceleration is high enough to cause the lock fast enough, but not always the case.
  • the spring on the actuator pin In order to be able to extend the actuator pin sufficiently fast, even at low temperatures and low viscosity of the engine oil, the spring on the actuator pin must be made sufficiently strong. As a result, the acceleration caused by the spring on the actuator pins, especially in the case of a warm reciprocating internal combustion engine, is high, so that a false lock is enhanced by the control needles.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to improve an actuator for reciprocating internal combustion engines so that the disadvantages described above are avoided. It should be ensured that the control needles react quickly enough even in the border areas and track the lock fast enough to clamp the Aktorstatte. This should be done with simple and inexpensive means.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that the defined by spring force per moving mass acceleration of the control needles are matched by their feathers of the acceleration of the actuator pins by the spring force associated therewith substantially.
  • the reduction of the mass takes place by decoupling the permanent magnet from the control needle.
  • the mass of the control needle unit to be moved by the spring is now considerably lower, so that the acceleration considerably can be increased.
  • the spring now only needs the actual control needle without the mass of the permanent magnet in the direction of locking device to accelerate, so that a considerably faster locking takes place, which is all operating conditions.
  • a spring plate is fixed, which forms a stop for the permanent magnet, so that this, moved by the solenoid unit, the control pin can release from the lock.
  • the spring plate continues to serve as a support for the respective spring of the control needle, which is supported on a component adjacent to the electromagnet unit.
  • the spring plate may be caulked with the end of the shaft of the control pin. But it is also possible that the spring plate has a shaft in which an inwardly projecting groove is incorporated, which corresponds to a groove on the shaft of the control needle, so that the spring plate can be advanced with the flange on the end of the shaft and there engages in the groove.
  • a steel disc with radial and axial play can be arranged, which is installed between the permanent magnet and a shoulder at the end of the shaft of the control needle.
  • 1 denotes a control needle, which has a cylindrical bearing portion 2, a control tip 3 and a shaft 4.
  • the shaft 4 has a reduced diameter, which adjoins the storage area 2 by means of a shoulder 5.
  • a designated 6 spring plate is attached, which has a flange 7 which is engaged by means of a groove in a groove of the shaft 4 of the control needle 1 and thereby fixed.
  • a permanent magnet 8 and a steel plate 9 is arranged on the shaft 4, which only partially fill the axial space of the shaft between disc spring 6 and paragraph 5 and continue to be arranged with radial play on the shaft 4, so that a complete decoupling of the formed as a disc permanent magnet 8 and the steel plate 9 against the control needle 1 is present.
  • the guide elements 17 have bearings in which the storage area 2 of the control needles 1 radially fixed, but is guided axially movable.
  • the spring plate 6 of the control needles 1 is connected to a spring 18 in operative connection, which is designed as a compression spring and further supported on a component 19, to which, not shown, the electromagnet unit connects, so that the component 19 is preferably not carried out magnetically.
  • the solenoid unit To release the clamping body 15 and thus unlocking the actuator pins 12, the solenoid unit, not shown, is energized so that it attracts the permanent magnets 8 and the steel discs 9 and thus raises the control needles 1 with spring plate 6 against the force of the spring 18.
  • the decoupling of the permanent magnets 8 and the steel discs 9 according to the invention also unlocking the control needles 1 has become faster, since the solenoid initially only the permanent magnets 8 and the steel discs 9 must move, then, accelerated, faster and safer move the control needles 1 and the springs 18 can compress.
