Definitions

  • the present invention is based on a device for controlling gas exchange valves according to the definition of the species in claim 1 .
  • each electrohydraulic valve actuator has an operating piston that acts on a gas-exchange valve, and two hydraulic working chambers that are delimited by the operating piston.
  • the first working chamber which acts on the gas-exchange valve in the closing direction, is constantly filled with a fluid under high pressure
  • the second working chamber which acts on the gas-exchange valve in the opening direction, is alternately able to be filled with, or relieved of, a working medium or fluid under high pressure via a first and a second electrical control valve.
  • a pressure-supply device delivers a fluid under high pressure, which is conveyed via the first electrical control valve to first working chamber, on the one hand, and to the second working chamber, on the other hand.
  • the second working chamber is connected to a return line leading back to the fluid reservoir by way of the second electrical control valve.
  • the pressure-supply device includes a working-pressure accumulator and a controlled variable displacement pump, which conveys fluid from a fluid reservoir to the working-pressure accumulator via a check valve.
  • the second working chamber In the closed state of the gas exchange valve, the second working chamber is separated from the pressure supply device by the closed first control valve, and connected to the return line through the open second control valve, so that the operating piston is displaced into its closed position by the fluid pressure prevailing in the first working chamber.
  • the control valves are switched over, so that the second working chamber is cut off from the return line and connected to the pressure supply device.
  • the operating piston While opening the gas exchange valve, the operating piston is displaced toward the first working chamber since the piston area of the operating piston is larger in the second working chamber than the effective area of the operating piston in the first working chamber, the length of the opening stroke depending on the formation of the electric control signal applied to the first control valve and the opening velocity depending on the fluid pressure controlled by the pressure supply device.
  • control valves switch over again, thereby connecting the second working chamber, which is blocked off from the pressure supply device, to the return line, and the fluid pressure prevailing in the first working chamber guiding the operating piston back into its valve-closed position, so that the gas exchange valve is closed by the operating piston.
  • the device according to the present invention for controlling gas exchange valves having the features of claim 1 , has the advantage that by dividing the pressure accumulator unit into two high-pressure accumulators for separately supplying of fluid to the valve actuators for the at least one intake valve, on the one hand, and for the at least one discharge valve, on the other hand, the fluid pressure in the two high-pressure circuits can be adapted for the intake and the discharge valve depending on the requirement for the degree of freedom allowed in the valve control by the electrohydraulic valve control, such as instant of valve actuation, lift, lift velocity and valve opening duration; and different pressure levels can be implemented.
  • Dividing the pressure-supply device into two separate high-pressure circuits for the intake valves and for the discharge valves as proposed by the present invention also allows the use of a constant displacement pump, which has a simple design, instead of the variable delivery pump, which has generally been used heretofore and has a technically more complicated design, thereby achieving a considerable savings effect in the production cost of the control device.
  • the known constant displacement pump is distinguished in that it generates a delivery or volumetric rate that is a function of only its driving speed, regardless of the delivery pressure.
  • the constant displacement pump may either be operated by an upstream delivery pump, for instance by the oil pump of the internal combustion engine, or it may be configured as a self-priming pump.
  • the switching member is provided for the alternate connecting of the two high-pressure accumulators to the constant displacement pump and is configured as a 4/3 directional solenoid control valve having spring resetting.
  • One of the three valve outlets of the solenoid valve is connected to one of the high-pressure accumulators and one is connected to the other high-pressure accumulator, and the third to the return line, while the valve inlet of the solenoid valve is connected to the pump outlet of the constant displacement pump.
  • FIG. 1 a circuit diagram of a device for controlling gas exchange valves for an internal combustion engine
  • FIG. 2 a detailed circuit diagram of an electrohydraulic valve actuator for actuating a gas-exchange valve in the control device according to FIG. 1.
  • the device for controlling gas-exchange valves shown as a circuit diagram in FIG. 1, controls a total of four intake valves 11 and a total of four discharge valves 12 of an internal combustion engine via an electronic control device 13 .
  • the number of intake valves 11 and discharge valves 12 may vary, however.
  • Each intake valve 11 and discharge valve 12 is arranged in a cylinder head 14 , shown in a cutaway view in FIG. 2, of a combustion cylinder and seals a combustion chamber formed in the combustion cylinder in a gastight manner.
  • each gas exchange valve has a valve seat 16 , which encloses an opening cross section 15 in cylinder head 14 , and a valve element 17 , which has a valve closure element 172 sitting on a valve shaft 171 that is guided so as to be axially displacable and cooperates with valve seat 16 to close and release opening cross section 15 .
  • valve closure element 172 lifts off from valve seat 16 or sets down on valve seat 16 .
  • each gas-exchange valve that is each intake valve 11 and each discharge valve 12 , is assigned an electrohydraulic valve actuator 18 for its actuation.
  • Electrohydraulic valve actuator 18 which is known per se, is illustrated in detail in FIG. 2. It includes a double-acting hydraulic working cylinder 19 and two electrical control valves 20 , 21 , which are preferably configured as 2/2 directional solenoid control valves having spring resetting. Electrical control valves 20 , 21 are controlled by electronic control device 13 .
  • hydraulic working cylinder 19 has a cylinder housing 22 and an operating piston 23 , which is connected to valve shaft 171 of a gas-exchange valve and guided in cylinder housing 22 so as to be axially displacable, the operating piston dividing the interior of cylinder housing 25 into a first working chamber 24 and a second working chamber 25 .
  • First working chamber 24 is connected directly, and second working chamber 25 via first electrical control valve 20 , to an hydraulic inlet 181 of valve actuator 18 .
  • Second working chamber 25 is connected to an hydraulic outlet 182 of valve actuator 18 via second electrical control valve 21 .
  • the mode of action of valve actuators 18 for opening and closing the associated gas-exchange valve is known and described in the introduction in the section “Background Information”.
  • the control device has a pressure-supply device 26 .
  • Pressure-supply device 26 includes a constant displacement pump 27 for generating high pressure, which is supplied from a fluid reservoir 29 by a presupply pump 28 ; a switching member 30 connected to the pump outlet of constant displacement pump 27 ; and two high-pressure accumulators 31 , 32 which, depending on the switching position of switching member 30 , are alternately able to be connected to the pump outlet of constant displacement pump 27 via a check valve 33 and 34 , respectively.
  • First high-pressure accumulator 31 is connected to a first outlet 261 of the pressure-supply device, and the second high-pressure accumulator to a second outlet 262 of pressure-supply device 26 .
  • each high-pressure accumulator 31 , 32 is connected to a pressure-relief valve 35 and 36 , respectively, whose valve outlet is connected to a return line 37 discharging into fluid reservoir 29 .
  • switching member 30 is configured as a 4/3 directional solenoid control valve 41 having spring resetting, which is triggered by electronic control device 13 .
  • a first valve outlet 412 having a check valve 33 interposed, is connected to first high-pressure accumulator 31
  • a second valve outlet 413 having check valve 34 interposed, to second high-pressure accumulator 32
  • a third valve outlet 414 is connected to return line 37 or directly to fluid reservoir 29 via a connecting line 42
  • valve inlet 411 is connected to the pump outlet of constant displacement pump 27 .
  • All electrohydraulic valve actuators 18 activating an intake valve 11 are connected to first output 261 of pressure-supply device 26 by way of their hydraulic input 181 and thus are connected to first high-pressure accumulator 31 .
  • All hydraulic outlets 182 of these valve actuators 18 are connected to return line 37 via a shared connecting line 38 .
  • All electrohydraulic valve actuators 18 for activating discharge valves 12 are connected to second input 262 of pressure-supply device 26 by way of their hydraulic inlets 181 and thus are connected to second high-pressure accumulator 32 .
  • Hydraulic outlets 182 of these valve actuators 18 are in turn connected to return line 37 via a shared connecting line 39 .
  • a check valve 43 and 44 may also be arranged in both connecting lines 38 and 39 , respectively, the check valves opening toward return line 37 .
  • Electrohydraulic valve actuators 18 for all gas-exchange valves i.e., for all intake valves 11 and all discharge valves 12
  • the actuating force that must be generated by valve actuators 18 for discharge valves 12 which is predefined by the combustion-chamber pressure, is considerably higher than the actuating force that valve actuators 18 must generate to actuate intake valves 11 .
  • These different forces are realized by different pressure levels in high-pressure accumulators 31 , 32 .
  • the different pressure levels are realized by an appropriate adjustment of pressure-relief valves 35 , 36 .
  • high-pressure accumulators 31 or high-pressure accumulator 32 are then tensioned by constant displacement pump 37 to the pressure level specified by respective pressure-relief valve 35 and 36 . Since high-pressure accumulator 31 is set to a lower pressure level, the energy required for pressure generation is reduced. If no fluid is drawn off from the two high-pressure circuits via valve actuators 18 , 4/3 directional solenoid control valve 41 is controlled to its intermediate position shown in FIG. 1, in which the fluid circulates without pressure via fluid reservoir 29 .
  • Constant displacement pump 27 may alternatively be configured as a self-priming pump. In this case, presupply pump 28 is omitted, and constant displacement pump 27 draws in fluid directly from fluid reservoir 29 .
  • the present invention is not limited to the described exemplary embodiment.
  • the number of intake valves 11 and discharge valves 12 operated by the control device may vary.
  • a so-called 3-valve operation is possible as well, in which each combustion chamber formed in a combustion cylinder of the internal combustion engine is assigned two intake valves 11 and one discharge valve 12 .
