Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen mechanisch steuerbaren Ventiltrieb für eine Hubkolbenmaschine, insbesondere eine Brennkraftmaschine eines Kraftfahrzeuges, zur Verstellung von Gaswechselventilen. Der mechanisch steuerbare Ventiltrieb besteht aus einer Nockenanordnung, mit einer Nockenwelle und mindestens einem Nocken pro Gaswechselventil. Des Weiteren besteht der Ventiltrieb aus einer Ventilhubverstellanordnung, die eine Verstellung des Ventils zwischen einem Nullhub und einem Maximalhub vornimmt und im Wesentlichen eine Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung aufweist, die mindestens einen Zwischenhebel mit einer Arbeitskurve aufweist, wobei die Arbeitskurve verschiedene Kurvenbereiche besitzt. Überdies weist der mechanisch steuerbare Ventiltrieb eine Schlepphebelanordnung auf, mit der die Arbeitskurve in Wirkverbindung steht wobei Mittel vorgesehen sind, die einen Ventilhubstillstandsbereich bereitstellen, derart, dass das Ventil mit Maximalhub für einen Nockenverdrehwinkel ω mit abgeflachter, insbesondere konstanter Ventilhubhöhe geöffnet ist, wobei die Mittel eine Arbeitskurve mit einem Ventilhubstillstandsabschnitt aufweisen, wobei die Arbeitskurve in Öffnungsrichtung des Gaswechselventils gesehen einen Nullhubabschnitt, einen Verstellabschnitt, sowie den Ventilhubstillstandsabschnitt besitzt.The invention relates to a mechanically controllable valve drive for a reciprocating engine, in particular an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, for the adjustment of gas exchange valves. The mechanically controllable valve train consists of a cam arrangement, with a camshaft and at least one cam per gas exchange valve. Furthermore, the valve train consists of a Ventilhubverstellanordnung, which performs an adjustment of the valve between a zero stroke and a maximum stroke and substantially comprises a Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung having at least one intermediate lever with a working curve, wherein the working curve has different curve areas. Moreover, the mechanically controllable valvetrain has a finger follower arrangement with which the working cam is operatively connected, providing means for providing a valve lift range such that the maximum lift valve is open for a cam torsion angle ω with a flattened, in particular constant, valve lift height having a working curve with a Ventilhubstillstandsabschnitt, the working curve seen in the opening direction of the gas exchange valve has a zero stroke, an adjustment, and the Ventilhubstillstandsabschnitt.
Derartige mechanisch steuerbare Ventiltriebe sind aus dem Stand der Technik im Bereich der Brennkraftmaschinen hinlänglich bekannt. Sie dienen insbesondere dazu, mittels der Ventilhubhöhe und Ventilöffnungsdauer, und damit dem Füllgrad der Zylinder der Brennkraftmaschine, den Verbrennungsprozess den jeweiligen Lastanforderungen anzupassen und dementsprechend für eine möglichst effiziente und damit auch schadstoffarme Verbrennung zu sorgen. Darüber hinaus ist es bekannt, in bestimmten Lastbereichen, insbesondere dem Teillastbereich, eine gewisse Anzahl von Zylindern komplett abzuschalten, um beispielsweise bei einer Vierzylinder-Brennkraftmaschine die Brennkraftmaschine lediglich mit zwei Zylindern zu betreiben. Hier wird das Gaswechselventil im Nullhubbereich betrieben, was gleichzeitig bedeutet, dass die Ventilbeschleunigung in diesem Bereich gleich Null ist. An diesen Nullhubbereich schließt sich ein Verstellbereich an, der an einem bestimmten Verdrehwinkelpunkt einen Maximalhub des Gaswechselventils bewirkt. Das Integral unter der gesamten Ventilhubkurve bestimmt somit das Füllvolumen bei einem Gaswechsel-Einlassventil, beziehungsweise Abgasausstoßvolumen bei einem Gaswechsel-Auslassventil.Such mechanically controllable valve trains are well known from the prior art in the field of internal combustion engines. They serve in particular to adapt the combustion process to the respective load requirements by means of the valve lift height and valve opening duration, and thus the degree of filling of the cylinders of the internal combustion engine Accordingly, to ensure the most efficient and therefore low-emission combustion. In addition, it is known in certain load ranges, in particular the partial load range, to switch off a certain number of cylinders completely in order, for example, to operate the internal combustion engine with only two cylinders in a four-cylinder internal combustion engine. Here, the gas exchange valve is operated in the zero stroke range, which also means that the valve acceleration in this area is equal to zero. At this zero stroke adjoins an adjustment, which causes a maximum angle of the gas exchange valve at a certain angle of rotation. The integral below the entire valve lift curve thus determines the filling volume in the case of a gas exchange inlet valve or exhaust gas emission volume in the case of a gas exchange outlet valve.
Ein derartig ausgebildeter Ventiltrieb ist also hinsichtlich des Befüllungsvolumens in starkem Maße abhängig vom maximal zu erreichenden Ventilhub. Besonders große Ventilhübe weisen hierbei den Nachteil auf, dass sie einen großen Bauraum zur Verstellmöglichkeit benötigen, die Gefahr einer Kolbenkollision erhöhen, beziehungsweise höhere Reibungskräfte bei einem Öffnen gegen die Rückstellfeder des Gaswechselventils entstehen. Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen mechanisch steuerbaren vollvariablen Ventiltrieb für eine Hubkolbenmaschine derart auszugestalten, dass unter anderem die oben beschriebenen Nachteile vermieden werden und ein Ventilhubstillstand ermöglicht wird.The invention is therefore based on the object, a mechanically controllable fully variable valve train for a reciprocating engine in such a way that, inter alia, the disadvantages described above are avoided and a Ventilhubstillstand is possible.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass der Zwischenhebel an seinem ersten Arm, d.h. an der der Arbeitskontur entgegengesetzter Seite eine erste Rolle aufweist, die durch den Nocken der Nockenwelle direkt oder indirekt in einer Kulissenbahn bewegt wird; dass der Zwischenhebel in seinem Schwenkzentrum eine zweite Rolle aufweist, die sich an einer Kontur der Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung abwälzt und dass der Zwischenhebel an seinem zweiten Arm, d.h. der Kulisse entgegengesetzten Seite, die Arbeitskurve aufweist, die mit einer dritten Rolle der Schlepphebelanordnung zusammenwirkt, wobei sowohl der Nullhubabschnitt, als auch der Ventilhubstillstandsabschnitt einen Teil einer Kurvenbahn um den Achsmittelpunkt der ersten Rolle beschreiben, wobei der Radius r1 des Ventilhubstillstandsabschnittes größer ist als der Radius r2 des Nullhubabschnittes.The object is achieved in that the intermediate lever on its first arm, that is on the working contour opposite side has a first roller which is moved by the cam of the camshaft directly or indirectly in a slide track; that the intermediate lever has a second roller in its pivoting center, which rolls on a contour of the Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung and that the intermediate lever on its second arm, ie the backdrop opposite side, the working curve, which cooperates with a third roller of the finger follower arrangement, wherein both the Nullhubabschnitt, as well as the Ventilhubstillstandsabschnitt describe part of a curved path around the axial center of the first roller, wherein the radius r 1 of the Ventilhubstillstandsabschnittes is greater than the radius r 2 of the Nullhubabschnittes.
Hierdurch ist es auf einfache Weise möglich, besonders schnelle Ventilhübe bei geringem Bauraum mit hohem Füllgrad durchzuführen. Ein derartiger Ventilhubstillstandsbereich zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Steigung und damit die Beschleunigung gegen Null gehen oder im genannten Bereich Null sind. Diese Anordnung erlaubt das individuelle und variable Anpassen der Ventile und das daraufhin über einen definierten, längeren Nockenverdrehwinkel ω vorwiegend konstante Halten der erzielten Ventilstellung. Durch die spezielle Ausbildung des Ventilhubstillstandbereiches ist das Ventil im Maximalhub des mechanisch steuerbaren Ventiltriebes für einen Nockenverdrehwinkel ω mit abgeflachter, insbesondere konstanter Ventilhubhöhe geöffnet.As a result, it is possible in a simple manner to carry out particularly fast valve lifts with a small space with a high degree of filling. Such a valve-lift stand-still range is characterized in that the slope and thus the acceleration go to zero or are zero in the stated range. This arrangement allows the individual and variable adaptation of the valves and the then over a defined, longer cam torsion angle ω predominantly constant holding the valve position achieved. Due to the special design of the valve lift range, the valve is in the maximum stroke of the mechanically controllable valve drive for a cam torsion angle ω opened with flattened, in particular constant valve lift.
Hierbei wird durch die Verstellung des Zwischenhebels, das bedeutet die Veränderung der Position des Schwenkzentrums des Zwischenhebels in Bezug auf die Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung, die Ventilhubhöhe bzw. die Öffnungszeit angepasst. Die Schlepphebelanordnung steht wiederum mit einem Gaswechselventil in Wirkverbindung.Here, the adjustment of the intermediate lever, that is, the change in the position of the pivot center of the intermediate lever with respect to the Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung, the valve lift or the opening time adjusted. The drag lever assembly in turn is in operative connection with a gas exchange valve.
Die hier beschriebene Anordnung zeichnet sich durch eine kompakte Bauweise bei einfacher Verstellung der Ventile aus.The arrangement described here is characterized by a compact design with simple adjustment of the valves.
Vorzugsweise beschreibt die Kulissenbahn eine Kurvenbahn um den Mittelpunkt der dritten Rolle der Schlepphebelanordnung.Preferably, the slide track describes a curved path around the center of the third roller of the finger follower arrangement.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Verdrehwinkel ω der Nockenwelle im Bereich des Ventilhubstillstandes einen Wert zwischen 30° und 150° auf. Zudem zeigt der Beschleunigungsverlauf im Bereich des Ventilhubstillstandes bei einem Nockenwellenverdrehwinkelbereich zwischen 30° und 150° vorzugsweise eine Beschleunigung von 0 mm/rad2 auf.In a preferred embodiment, the angle of rotation ω of the camshaft in the region of the valve lift stand has a value between 30 ° and 150 °. In addition, the acceleration curve in the region of the valve lift position preferably exhibits an acceleration of 0 mm / rad 2 for a camshaft twist angle range between 30 ° and 150 °.
Des Weiteren weist die Gaswechselventilbetätigungsvorrichtung wenigstens einen hydraulischen Aktuator auf.Furthermore, the gas exchange valve actuating device has at least one hydraulic actuator.
Das Gaswechselventil kann sowohl als Einlass- als auch als Auslassventil ausgeführt sein. So ist insbesondere beim Ottomotor mit derartigen Ventiltriebanordnungen eine interne Abgasrückführung ohne weiteres möglich, da es aufgrund der saugseitigen Drosselung eine hohe treibende Druckdifferenz zwischen Abgasseite und Zylindersaugseite gibt.The gas exchange valve can be designed both as an inlet and outlet valve. Thus, in particular in the gasoline engine with such valve train arrangements, an internal exhaust gas recirculation is readily possible because there is a high driving pressure difference between the exhaust gas side and the cylinder suction side due to the suction side throttling.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist im Bereich der Gaswechselventilbetätigungsvorrichtung mindestens ein Gaswechselventil als Auslassventil ausgeführt.In a preferred embodiment, at least one gas exchange valve is designed as an outlet valve in the region of the gas exchange valve actuating device.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist mindestens ein Gaseinlassventil durch einen variablen Ventiltrieb ansteuerbar.In a further preferred embodiment, at least one gas inlet valve can be controlled by a variable valve drive.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung ist darin zu sehen, dass sich der Zwischenhebel mit einer kreisförmigen Kontur an der Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung abstützt, wobei diese Kontur sich auch auf einer gleit- oder wälzgelagerten Rolle abstützen kann.A preferred development is to be seen in that the intermediate lever is supported with a circular contour on the Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung, said contour can also be supported on a sliding or roller bearing roller.
Durch die gesamte Vorrichtung sind die Reibungsverluste und der Bauteilverschleiß wesentlich verringert und die Lebensdauer des hubvariablen Ventiltriebes ist deutlich verlängert. Insgesamt ist der hubvariable Ventiltrieb mechanisch stabiler, d.h. unter anderem schwingungstechnisch weniger anfällig und es treten verringerte Beschleunigungs- und Schwingungskräfte auf. Als Folge hieraus kann zum einen durch die Reduktion der schwingungstechnischen Probleme die Drehzahl der Brennkraftmaschine problemlos erhöht werden und ferner das Federelement kleiner dimensioniert werden, wodurch auch in Verbindung mit den reduzierten Beschleunigungskräften des Zwischenhebels, deutlich höhere Drehzahlen erreichbar sind. Als positiver Effekt aus der Reduktion der inneren Reibung darf darüber hinaus eine höhere Motoreffizienz abgeleitet werden.Through the entire device, the friction losses and component wear are significantly reduced and the life of the variable stroke valve train is significantly extended. Overall, the variable lift valve train is mechanically more stable, i. Among other things vibration less prone and there are reduced acceleration and vibration forces. As a result, on the one hand can be easily increased by the reduction of vibration problems, the speed of the engine and also the spring element are dimensioned smaller, which also in conjunction with the reduced acceleration forces of the intermediate lever, significantly higher speeds can be achieved. In addition, a higher engine efficiency may be derived as a positive effect from the reduction of internal friction.

Koaxial zur ersten Rolle 52 und in etwa mittig zwischen der Kulissenbahn 62 und der Arbeitskurve 30 ist eine Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung 24 mit einer zweiten Rolle 54 angeordnet. Mit der Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung 24 werden der Absoluthub des Gaswechselventils 18 sowie die Öffnungszeit eines Ventils 22 eingestellt.Coaxial with the
Am gegenüberliegenden Ende zur Kulissenbahn 62 weist der Zwischenhebel 28 eine Arbeitskurve 30 mit einem Nullhubabschnitt 40, einem Verstellhubabschnitt 42 und einem Ventilhubstillstandsabschnitt 34 auf.At the opposite end to the
Desweiteren steht der Zwischenhebel 28 über eine dritte Rolle 64 mit einer Schlepphebelanordnung 32 in Wirkverbindung. Über diese Wirkverbindung sind verschiedene Ventilhubpositionen des Gasauslassventils 18 ansteuerbar. Die Schlepphebelanordnung 32 ist einerseits auf einem Spielausgleichselement, vorzugsweise einem hydraulischen Ventilspielausgleichselement gelagert und wirkt mit dem Gaswechselventil 18. Das Gaswechselventil 18 und das Ventilspielausgleichselement sind in dem hier nicht dargestellten Zylinderkopf montiert.Furthermore, the
Befindet sich der Linienkontakt der dritten Rolle 64 auf der im Nullhubabschnitt 40 der Arbeitskurve 30, dann ist der Gaswechselventilhub 44 gleich Null, wird der Linienkontakt entlang der Öffnungsrichtung entlang des Verstellabschnittes 42 der Arbeitskurve 30 bis zum Ventilhubstillstandsabschnitt 34 verschoben, so vergrößert sich der Hub des Gaswechselventils 18 bis zu einem maximalen Wert. Erreicht der Linienkontakt dann den Bereich des Ventilhubstillstandabschnittes 34, wird der maximal erreichte Wert für einen definierten Nockenverdrehwinkel ω, hier ca. 40°, nahezu konstant gehalten.If the line contact of the
Durch die Verwendung der Arbeitskurve 30 ist der Zwischenhebel 28 stets in Bewegung, so dass keine statische Flächenpressung in den Kontaktflächen auftreten und ständig ausreichende Schmierung der Kontaktflächen gewährleistet ist. Somit führt die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung zu einer geringeren Reibung und zu weniger Verschleiß. Darüber hinaus sind die Zwischenhebelöffnungs- und Schließbewegungen durch die Verwendung der Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung 24 wesentlich reduziert, wodurch deutlich höhere Drehzahlen der Brennkraftmaschine möglich sind. Als weiterer Vorteil daraus ist die mögliche kleinere Dimensionierung des Federelementes anzuführen. Ferner sind Resonanzeffekte in dem Federelement durch die ständige Bewegung des Zwischenhebels 28 vermieden. Durch die Optimierung des Federelementes sind wiederum höhere Drehzahlen erreichbar, bei gleichzeitig minimierter Reibung und minimiertem Verschleiß.By using the working
Über die verschiedenen Bereiche der Arbeitskurve 30 wird neben der Hubhöhe und der Öffnungsdauer des Ventils 22 auch das Beschleunigungsverhalten des Ventils 22 der Verbrennungskraftmaschine beeinflusst.
