- An interruption element is understood to mean, in particular, an element which is set up to temporarily interrupt an operative connection between a valve actuation device and a valve, in particular in which the operative connection is canceled, for example by mechanical disconnection, releasing hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, disconnecting an electrical connection , electronic inactivation of the active compound, or the like.
- the first operative connection and the second operative connection are designed as hydraulic operative connections, the interruption element being designed as a switching valve.
- the interruption element is designed as a 2/2-way valve.
- the first operative connection has a first hydraulic path to a first slave cylinder, the second operative connection having a second hydraulic path to a second slave cylinder, the interruption element being connected to the first hydraulic path and to the second hydraulic path.

- first hydraulic path or the second hydraulic path is then connected to the hydraulic fluid reservoir in the first switching position is preferably not decided by the switching position of the interruption element, but rather this depends on the instantaneous pressure conditions in the hydraulic paths. If hydraulic pressure is built up in the first hydraulic path to actuate the inlet valve during a working cycle of the combustion chamber during a first period of time, the interruption element can be shifted into its first switching position in order to divert hydraulic fluid from the first hydraulic path and thus effect variable actuation of the inlet valve.

- This first operative connection 11 is designed as a hydraulic operative connection and comprises a first hydraulic path 17.
- the first hydraulic path 17 has a first master cylinder 19, which interacts with the first actuating element 15, and a first slave cylinder 21, the first master cylinder 19 during a rotary movement of the first actuating element 15 is caused to move, by means of which hydraulic medium is forced out of the first master cylinder 19 via the first hydraulic path 17 into the first slave cylinder 21, the first slave cylinder 21 being operatively connected to the inlet valve 3 in such a way that it is fed by the first slave cylinder 21 is urged into an open position against the biasing force of a biasing element 23, in particular a spring.

- the first check valve 25 can open so that hydraulic medium can flow to the slave cylinder 21 via the first check valve 25. If the first actuation element 15 continues to rotate, a volume in the first master cylinder 19 is increased again so that hydraulic medium can flow back into it. At the same time, the hydraulic medium in the first slave cylinder 21 is pressurized by the prestressing element 23. In this operating state, the first check valve 25 is pushed into its blocking position. The hydraulic medium then flows from the first slave cylinder 21 via the first bypass 27 and the first throttle element 29 back into the first master cylinder 19, with the inlet valve 3 being shifted into its closed position at the same time.
- the closing behavior of the inlet valve 3 is determined in particular by the first biasing element 23 on the one hand and the first throttle element 29 on the other hand, in particular by their coordination with one another.

- the first interruption element 31 is designed to establish a fluid connection between the first fluid connection 33 and the second fluid connection 35 and thus at the same time between the first hydraulic path 17 and the hydraulic fluid reservoir 37 in a first switching state, and to establish the fluid connection between the fluid connection in a second switching state shown here to interrupt the first fluid connection 33 and the second fluid connection 35.
- a variable control of the inlet valve 3 is now brought about by the first interruption element 31 according to the lost motion principle, for example by shifting it to its first switching state at a predetermined point in time during a stroke movement of the first valve 3, whereby the fluid connection between the first hydraulic path 17 and the hydraulic fluid reservoir 37 is released.
- the hydraulic fluid displaced from the first master cylinder 19 is then - at least partially - diverted into the hydraulic fluid reservoir 37 via the first interruption element 31, whereby the pressure in the first hydraulic path 17 on the side of the first master cylinder 19 drops so that the first check valve 25 blocks.
- valve lift of the inlet valve 3 is interrupted and this closes, with hydraulic medium from the first slave cylinder 21 also being displaced into the hydraulic medium reservoir 37 by the prestressing force of the prestressing element 23 via the first bypass 27 and the first throttle element 29 and further via the first interruption element 31 .
- a delayed valve lift of the inlet valve 3 can also be brought about by shifting the first interruption element 31 to its first switching state at the beginning of the lifting movement of the first master cylinder 19 and moving it to its second switching state only later during the lifting movement of the first master cylinder 19. It is therefore possible to represent a fully variable valve drive for the inlet valve 3 by means of the first interruption element 31.
- the first interruption element 31 remains in its second switching state during a working cycle of the internal combustion engine 9, a normal valve lift of the inlet valve 3 is effected, the lift curve of which is essentially determined by the design, in particular the shape, of the first actuating element 15.
- the first interruption element 31 is designed as a continuous switching valve, which can assume a large number of intermediate positions between the first switching state and the second switching state, a virtually arbitrary valve lift curve can be displayed very flexibly under the normal valve lift curve determined by the first actuating element 15 will.

- the control unit 51 is set up in particular to control the interruption elements 31 assigned to it at least twice per working cycle of a combustion chamber 7 assigned to the respective interruption element 31, namely once for variable control of the inlet valve 3 and a second time for variable control of the exhaust valve 5.
- control unit 51 is set up for this does not, of course, exclude that at least one of the valves 3, 5 is not variably activated once during a working cycle, the interruption element 31 then also not being activated. It is also possible that the interruption element 31 is not activated at all in a working cycle because none of the valves 3, 5 is activated in a variable manner.
- valve drive 1 that is fully variable on both the inlet and outlet sides can be implemented in the same installation space volume as in the case of a fully variable valve drive only on the inlet side, in that in particular a second interruption element 31 'per valve pair is omitted. This also results in a cost reduction due to a lower number of components. Furthermore, the required output stages in the control device 51 are reduced, so that costs and energy expenditure are also eliminated in this respect.
