Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve train of an internal combustion engine, with at least one base camshaft on the rotationally fixed and axially displaceable between at least two axial positions at least one Ventilbetuschistsnocken exhibiting cam carrier is provided, wherein the cam carrier for axial displacement by means of an actuator associated with a shift gate, which on its circumference has two opposing in the axial direction, intersecting slide tracks, each having a reversal point.
  • the invention further relates to an internal combustion engine with a valve train.
  • Valve trains of the type mentioned are known from the prior art. They are used for internal combustion engines, in which the cycle of gas exchange valves of individual cylinders of the internal combustion engine can be influenced to improve the thermodynamic properties.
  • the at least one cam carrier which may also be referred to as a cam piece, is arranged rotationally fixed and axially displaceable on the base camshaft.
  • the cam carrier is usually associated with a plurality, that is to say at least two, valve actuation cams. Each of these valve actuation cams has an eccentricity, which serves to actuate one of the gas exchange valves of the internal combustion engine at a specific angle of rotation of the basic camshaft.
  • valve actuating cam run together with the base camshaft so that the respective gas exchange valve of the internal combustion engine is actuated by the associated valve actuating cam or its eccentricity at least once per revolution of the basic camshaft.
  • the valve actuating cam cooperates preferably with a roller rocker arm of the gas exchange valve by coming into abutting contact with this.
  • valve actuation cams are provided, which may be assigned to different cam groups.
  • the valve actuation cams of a cam group now differ, for example, with regard to the angular position of their eccentricity or the extent of the same in the radial direction (height) and / or in the circumferential direction (length).
  • the axial displacement of the cam carrier this can be brought into at least two, for example in a first and a second, axial position.
  • the gas exchange valve becomes a first of the valve actuation cams and, in the second axial position, a second of the valve actuation cams operated, which are assigned to the same cam group.
  • the displacement of the cam carrier in particular the opening time, the opening duration and / or the lift of the gas exchange valve, in particular as a function of an operating state of the internal combustion engine, can be selected.
  • the displacement or displacement of the cam carrier in the axial direction takes place with the aid of an adjusting device, which comprises a shift gate on the cam carrier and a stationarily arranged actuator, usually in a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine.
  • the actuator has an extendable driver, which can be brought into engagement with an example helical or spiral slide track of the shift gate.
  • the slide tracks are provided on the shift gate, which is assigned to the cam carrier.
  • the shift gate is formed on the cam carrier or operatively connected thereto for axial displacement.
  • the slide tracks are each along a course of a preferably, but not necessarily continuous curved path and have a certain width, which is preferably adapted to the width of the driver of the actuator.
  • the slide track is slightly wider than the driver, so that a smooth passage through the slide track is possible by the driver.
  • the slide tracks are, for example, as radial grooves, which pass through the circumference of the shift gate, so are formed open-edge in this.
  • the curved path for example, is centrally located in the slide track and is a line in the mathematical sense. This line can be composed of several line sections. If in the following from a point of the slide track is mentioned, so is always a point on the slide track underlying cam track meant.
  • the slide tracks run at least partially in the axial direction in opposite directions and intersect at a crossing point. Each of the slide tracks has a turning point. In accordance with the above explanations, this reversal point is to be understood as meaning a point on the curved path, the latter describing the course of the slide track.
  • the reversal point corresponds, for example, to a point of the slide track, when it is reached by the driver of the actuator, the cam carrier is present exactly between two axial positions of the cam carrier, in particular in a dead center between the axial positions.
  • the curved path runs straight in a section around the turning point, ie it has a constant pitch in the axial direction, but not a bend.
  • the turning point coincides, for example, with the center of this straight section (seen in the longitudinal direction of the section).
  • the turning point is a turning point of the curved path, ie a point at which the curved path changes its curvature behavior.
  • valve trains usually fall the reversal points of the slide tracks with the intersection of the intersecting slide tracks together.
  • a valve train of an internal combustion engine comprising a carrier shaft and a rotationally fixed between two axial displaceable arranged cam piece having at least one cam group immediately adjacent cam with different cam lobes and designed as a groove Axialkulisse with outer guide walls for specifying two intersecting slide tracks , And with an engageable in the Axialkulisse actuating pin for moving the cam piece in the direction of both slide tracks.
  • the first document shows a device for camshaft adjustment of an internal combustion engine, in which a ram unit has a constant outer diameter at the first engagement depth and at a second penetration depth and is driven along the direction of movement by an electromagnetic actuator which has a first stable positioning position for the first penetration depth, a second stable parking position for the second penetration depth and a third parking position for a disengaged state of the ram unit in a first and second control drive controllably offers.
  • the latter document shows a valve train of an internal combustion engine, in which guide vanes are provided with journals which are rotatably received in both sides of the crossing region of the slide tracks on the groove bottom of the axial slide bearing points.
  • the guide has a guide vanes coupling steering linkage, which is hinged to the bearing pin and synchronized the opposite direction of rotation of the guide vanes.
  • the reversal points are offset in the circumferential direction to each other. These should therefore not, as known from the prior art, in particular in the crossing point coincide. Rather, they are offset from each other so that they are spaced apart at least in the circumferential direction. Usually, they continue to lie in a common longitudinal section plane of the shift gate; a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis thus comprises both reversal points and the point of intersection. Thus, in particular, there is a displacement of at least one of the reversal points exclusively in the circumferential direction, but not in axial direction.
  • the driver By moving the reversal points in the circumferential direction to each other, the driver is in contact with at least one of the slide tracks - seen in the circumferential direction - longer with the respective guide wall of the slide track.
  • the cam carrier is displaced over a greater axial distance than known from the prior art, before the driver gets out of engagement with the guide wall. Accordingly, the cam carrier must travel a smaller remaining distance due to the kinetic energy impressed on it. Accordingly, the reliability of the axial displacement of the cam carrier is significantly increased, because there is no risk that the cam carrier, especially at too low speed of the internal combustion engine, the axial displacement can not complete, so does not reach the desired axial position. In this way, it is possible to perform the axial displacement of the cam carrier even at speeds which are significantly lower than those required in known from the prior art valve trains speeds.
  • each guide track in each case has an inlet region, an outlet region and a reversal region connecting them to one another, the inlet region and the outlet region being aligned in the circumferential direction and arranged in the axial direction on opposite sides of the switching element.
  • the inlet region, the reversal region and the outlet region are arranged one behind the other in this order in the circumferential direction or in the direction of rotation of the shifting gate. Engages the driver of the actuator in the slide track, it passes through accordingly first the inlet area, then passes into the reversal area and exits via the outlet area again from the slide track.
  • the outlet region has a ramp which pushes out the driver in the radial direction to the outside, so that the driver is again disengaged from this after a single passage through the slide track.
  • the driver can not intervene again in one of the slide tracks in a subsequent revolution of the basic camshaft or the shift gate, but rather that the axial displacement of the cam carrier is completed after the single passage of the slide track. If the cam carrier is to be displaced again, the driver of the actuator must therefore be relocated inwardly in the radial direction so that it engages with one of the slide tracks, in particular the respective inlet area.
  • Each of the slide tracks consisting of the inlet region, the reverse region and the outlet region, preferably extends over almost the entire circumference of the cam carrier.
  • the inlet area - seen in the circumferential direction - immediately adjoins the outlet area.
  • the inlet region is arranged spaced from the outlet region in the circumferential direction.
  • the inlet region and the outlet region are aligned in the circumferential direction, that is not curved in the axial direction. Rather, they run only in the circumferential direction.
  • the reverse region has a course (also) in the axial direction, wherein the reverse regions of the two slide tracks are provided in opposite directions in the axial direction and intersect.
  • the reversal areas accordingly each comprise the intersection point of the slide tracks. Accordingly, the reversal point is also present in each of them.
  • the inlet area and the outlet area are - seen in the axial direction - provided on opposite sides of the shift gate.
  • the inlet region is connected to the outlet region via the reversal region, so that the reversal region or the part of the reversal region underlying cam track extends both in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction of the shift gate.
  • a development of the invention provides that the reversal region connects the inlet region and the outlet region with a continuous course, in the center of which the reversal point lies.
  • the part of the curved path, which is encompassed by the reversal region runs continuously, thus connecting the respective inlet region to the respective outlet region without cracks.
  • the reversal area is continuously connected to both the inlet area and the outlet area. That is, at a point where the lead-in area encounters the turn area, the turn area corresponds to the orientation of the turn area, the orientation of the lead-in area, and the orientation of the lead-out area, respectively.
  • the pitch in the axial direction coincides in these points between the inlet region and the reversal region or the reversal region and the outlet region in this respect.
  • the reverse region accordingly has a substantially S-shaped profile.
  • the continuous course of the reversal region should now have a midpoint (seen in the longitudinal direction of the course), in which the reversal point of the respective slide track lies.
  • the center of the course if the reversing area has a straight section, lies in the middle of this straight section. Alternatively, the center may also correspond to the aforementioned inflection point, in which the course changes its curvature behavior from a right-hander to a left-hander, or vice versa.
  • a development of the invention provides that the inlet area and the reversal area in a starting point and the reversal area and the outlet area collide in an end point, wherein the starting point and / or the end point of one of the slide tracks in the circumferential direction relative to the starting point or the end of the other Sliding coasters are offset.
  • Under the starting point or the end point is first to understand a point in which the curved path passes from the inlet region in the reversal region or from the reversal region in the outlet region. Because the slide track has the specific width, a start line and, under the end point, an end line can be understood correspondingly below the starting point, which are each defined by a specific circumferential position.
  • both the starting point and the end point of the one of the slide tracks are each arranged offset by the same distance to the starting point and end point of the other of the slide tracks.
  • the slide tracks have groove bases, which are at least partially provided, offset in height in the radial direction to each other, whereby the slide tracks with the underlying groove in the radial direction, in particular in the region of the intersection of slide tracks, having a guide wall formed by the height offset.
  • the slide tracks are in the form of grooves formed in the cam carrier. They therefore have groove bases, which form a base or bottom of the grooves, ie a conclusion of the grooves in the radial direction inwards.
  • These groove grounds should be at least partially offset in height for the two slide tracks in the radial direction to each other, ie at the same circumferential position for one of the Sliding linkages have a radial position, which is different from the radial position of the groove base of the other of the slide tracks.
  • the height offset of the groove bottoms is provided in particular in the reversal region or in the region of the intersection of the slide tracks.
  • the guide walls formed by the height offset for the actuator or its driver are also in the area of the intersection of the slide tracks, although at least a portion of the guide walls is removed by the intersection of the slide tracks.
  • a development of the invention provides for this reason that the reversal point of the slide track is offset with the groove base lying higher in the radial direction in the direction of rotation of the cam carrier to the front.
  • the direction of rotation is circumferential, but specifies the orientation more accurately. While the circumferential direction points in the direction of rotation as well as in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation, the direction of rotation provides an orientation for the displacement of the reversal points in the circumferential direction relative to one another. Because a continuous guiding is achieved by the actuator or its driver for the slide track with the groove base which lies deeper in the radial direction, the incomplete axial displacement of the cam carrier can not occur for this slide.
  • the respective reversing point must be adapted for the respective other slide track, so the slide track with the groove base lying higher in the radial direction, that here better guidance of the cam carrier is achieved by the driver in the axial direction. This is achieved by moving the reversal point in the direction of rotation of the cam carrier forward, ie in the direction of rotation.
  • the offset is greater than 0 ° and less than or equal to 40 °, in particular at least 10 ° and at most 20 °, preferably exactly 10 ° or 20 °, is.
  • the offset of the reversal points of the slide tracks can be chosen arbitrarily. The greater the offset, the better the shift gate is guided in the axial displacement by the actuator or its driver in the axial direction. Therefore, at least one offset should be present, which is greater than 0 °, so that the reversal points of the slide tracks do not coincide.
  • the offset should be less than or equal to 40 °.
  • the offset is between 10 ° and 20 ° or corresponds to these values.
  • the indication of the offset in degrees is equivalent to the distance on the circumference of the shift gate between two straight lines intersecting the longitudinal axis of the basic camshaft, between which the corresponding angle is present.
  • the offset can therefore be specified as a distance on the circumference or as an angle with respect to the angle of rotation of the shift gate or the basic camshaft.
  • the cam carrier is assigned a locking device which has a plurality of locking grooves corresponding to the axial positions, in which a spring-loaded locking element engages in a locking manner for urging the cam carrier into the closest axial position.
  • the locking device is provided in order to keep the cam carrier or the shift gate in the current axial position, while the cam carrier is not to be displaced by means of the actuator in the axial direction.
  • This has the locking grooves and the locking element.
  • a corresponding locking groove is provided for each of the axial positions. If the cam carrier or the shift gate is present in one of the axial positions, then the locking element engages with a detent in the corresponding locking groove.
  • the locking element engages as described in the corresponding locking groove. If, in contrast, the cam carrier lies between the axial positions, for example during axial displacement by means of the actuator, the locking element urges the cam carrier into the closest axial position.
  • the locking device may be formed, for example, as a ball catch with ramps. The locking element is so far as a spherical element and the locking grooves each have in the direction of the nearest locking groove sloping Ramps, so that the locking element can reach in any case in one of the axial positions. Thus, if only an incomplete axial displacement is achieved by means of the actuator, the locking device causes the cam carrier to be brought into the closest axial position.
  • a development of the invention provides that in each case two of the locking grooves are spaced from a separating element, wherein the separating element has a dead center, via which the locking element is moved by a displacement by means of the actuator. Between the locking grooves, therefore, the separating element is provided which these spaced apart in the axial direction. For example, the ramp described above, which drops in the direction of the nearest locking groove, is present on the separating element. Nevertheless, the separating element usually has a dead center, in particular between two of the ramps. If the locking element is arranged in the region of the dead center, then it can not cause any displacement of the cam carrier in the axial direction. For this reason, the locking element is to be displaced beyond the dead center during displacement by means of the actuator. This can be achieved by the staggered arrangement of the reversal points in the circumferential direction in a simple manner.
  • the invention further relates to an internal combustion engine having a valve drive, in particular according to the preceding embodiments, wherein the valve train has at least one base camshaft, on the rotationally fixed and axially displaceable between at least two axial positions at least one Ventilbetuschistsnocken exhibiting cam carrier is provided, wherein the cam carrier for axial displacement means an actuator associated with a shift gate, which has at its periphery over two opposing in the axial direction, intersecting slide tracks, each having a reversal point.

  • the offset of the reversal points 28 and 29 is achieved in particular by displacing the starting points 39 and 40 relative to one another by the distance (on the circumference) or the angle (relative to the angle of rotation of the cam carrier 3) y. This is especially in FIG. 7 seen.
  • the size y can be specified in this respect either as a distance or as an angle.
  • this has a groove bottom 43 which is lower in the radial direction than a groove bottom 44 of the guide track 24.
  • a valve drive 1 can be realized so far in which for the axial displacement of the cam carrier 3 no or at least only a smaller minimum speed of the internal combustion engine must be present in order to achieve a reliable displacement.
