Definitions

  • Actuator device of a sliding cam system comprising at least one sliding cam and with an engaging pin projecting from a housing, wherein the housing is arranged on a component of a cylinder head or on the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, and the engagement pin is contactable with at least one groove of the sliding cam system, the at least one Ausschrampe and wherein the engagement pin has a permanent holding magnet inside the housing and is subsequently dominated by a stationary spool core which can be magnetized by an electrical coil, and the engagement pin is spring-loaded in the direction of the sliding cam.
  • Such a generic actuator is from the DE 102 40 774 A1 or the DE 10 2007 052252 known.
  • an activation of the engagement pin takes place by energizing the coil, whereby a magnetic field is generated which is opposite to the field of the permanent holding magnet and displaces it.
  • the displacement of the field causes a reduced holding force between permanent magnet and spool core, so in that the magnetic field generated by the coil and the force of the spring acting on the engagement pin causes the engagement pin to extend so that it engages in the groove of the sliding cam system and causes displacement of the sliding cam as desired.
  • the backward movement of the engagement pin into its inner end position is initiated by the ejection ramp, which is to move the engagement pin against the force of the spring so far and with such acceleration of the sliding cam that the engagement pin with energized the coil by the permanent magnet and its magnetic field on the spool core is held.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to improve an actuator with the features described above so that larger tolerances can be absorbed and also a desired lower distance of the engagement pins can be ensured each other.
  • the actuating device generates an additional force to the force introduced by the ejection ramp, by means of which the engagement pin reliably reaches the inner end position.
  • the tolerances that occur during installation of the electrically actuated device without significant impact on the operation of the engagement pin, so that the tolerances do not need to be kept very tight.
  • the dimensions of the built-in housing parts, in particular the permanent holding magnet on the engagement pin can be kept smaller, so that a small distance of the engagement pins to each other can be realized.
  • the engagement pin has at its end facing the sliding cam an opening in which an actuating member is slidably disposed, which is loaded in the direction of the sliding cam by means of a return spring.
  • the position and the paths of the actuator and the force of the spring is so dimensioned that it is compressed, in particular in the area of the ejection ramp, but extended at the end of the ejection ramp and supported on this, so that the return spring of the actuator such a force generated on the engagement pin, that this overcomes the residual stroke and safely reaches its inner end position.
  • the actuating member is formed on the engagement pin as a ball which is installed in a bore of the engagement pin with the associated spring and that the bore is narrowed at its end to a secure hold of the ball against falling out sure.
  • the constriction can be done by caulking the edge of the hole.
  • the engagement pin at its end facing the sliding cam and the ejection ramp in the region of its outlet to the high circle each have a permanent magnet and a permanent magnet and that these permanent magnets are installed with oppositely directed polarity facing each other.
  • This embodiment of the invention ensures that the repulsive magnetic forces of the permanent magnet and the permanent magnet in the end region of the ejection ramp generate such a force that the engagement pin overcomes the resulting even at unfavorable tolerance residual stroke and moves securely in its inner end position.
  • the permanent holding magnet is surrounded on the engagement pin within the housing by a retaining cap or a retaining plate which is fastened to the engagement pin in order to fix the permanent retaining magnet securely on the engagement pin.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 is, as far as shown in detail, 1 denotes a camshaft of a reciprocating internal combustion engine, on the rotatably but slidably a sliding cam 2 is arranged, which has at least one groove 3 in addition to the cams for the gas exchange valves, which includes an ejection 4.
  • the ejection ramp 4 extends to a designated 18 high circle of the sliding cam 2 in the region of the groove 3.
  • a generally designated 5 actuator which has a housing 6, a coil 7 with a spool core 8 and an engagement pin 9 ,
  • the engagement pin 9 is arranged radially movable within the housing 6 with respect to the groove 3 and has in the interior a spring 10 which biases the engagement pin 9 in the direction of the sliding cam 2.
  • the spool core 8 is adjacent to the engagement pin 9, a permanent holding magnet 11 is fixed, the magnetic force is greater than the force of the spring 10, which is supported at its inner end to the spool core 8.
  • the permanent holding magnet 11 is enclosed by a retaining cap 12 which fixes it to the engagement pin 9.
  • the engagement pin 9 further has at its the sliding cam 2 end facing a bore 13 in which a return spring 14 is installed, which loads a ball 15 in the direction of the sliding cam 2.
  • the ball 15 stands so far that it is pressed at least in the region of the ejection ramp 4 against the force of the return spring 14 in the bore 13, so that the return spring stores force that relaxes at the end of the ejector ramp and accelerates the engagement pin 9 so strong in that it arrives safely in the inner end position.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 It can also be seen that larger tolerances are also bridged here.
  • each two engagement pins 9 can be installed close to each other and even a distance of only 5 mm can be achieved.
  • the ends of the engagement pins 9 are formed according to the previously described embodiments of the invention and equipped with permanent magnets 16 or balls 15.
