Definitions

  • valves for internal combustion engines controlled by a camshaft is a possible source of engine damage if their timing is disturbed (e.g. by tearing off the V-belts).
  • Valves in combination with camshaft and timing chain are part of the cause of noise and vibration during operation.
  • the manufacturing costs for this conventional valve type and its control mechanism are high. Due to the camshaft design, the engine is taller and heavier.
  • valve device can be manufactured using a few and compact components.
  • An internal combustion engine using this valve device becomes lower, lighter, simpler, quieter, less vibration, easy to maintain and quicker to assemble by avoiding the usual camshaft design.
  • the invention relates to a rotary valve ( Fig. 1 ), which has laterally symmetrically arranged openings and is used in a valve device according to claim 1.
  • the rotary valve has a center of gravity that lies on its axis of rotation.
  • the pressure difference in an entire working cycle only results in a maximum of an axially resulting force along the axis of rotation, since inlet openings (or outlet openings) of the cylinders also have a symmetrical arrangement.
  • the application describes, among other things, a method for operating an internal combustion engine with a valve device, in which one or more rotary valves are used on the outside around the cylinder wall and their axis of rotation runs parallel to the cylinder axis ( Fig. 4 ).
  • a cylinder has only outlet openings to an upper rotary valve and inlet openings to a lower valve ( Fig. 8 ).
  • a cylinder with paired inlet and outlet openings in only one (upper) rotary valve ( Fig. 5, Fig. 6 ).
  • the inner wall of the rotary valve forms a sliding surface with the outer wall of the cylinder due to their common, identical surface.
  • This sliding surface is not exactly parallel to the axis of rotation, but slightly conical so that the rotary valve is not stuck due to the different thermal expansion ( Fig. 3 ).
  • This angle is also kept small so that only a small axial contact force is sufficient to hold the rotary valve in its seat, even if the pressure difference between inside and outside reaches a maximum.
  • the same principle of the slightly conical design is also used for the outer wall of the rotary valve and the inlet / outlet channels.
  • the opening angle of the valve or the cylinder can be enlarged or reduced by design in order to realize different opening times for the gas exchange.
  • the number of openings of a rotary valve corresponds to the number of work cycles performed at a full revolution (360 °). This means that the rotary valve has a factor of 1 / n to the duty cycle of an engine, where n is the number of openings of a rotary valve.
  • n is the number of openings of a rotary valve.
  • valve device which several (in Fig. 8 two) separately controlled rotary valves, a phase shift of the inlet and outlet timing can be realized (eg by means of rotary valve drive through cylindrical gearwheels with helical teeth).
