Definitions
- Valve control of an internal combustion engine that can be switched as a drive or brake
- the invention relates to a valve control of an internal combustion engine which can be switched as a drive or a brake according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a corresponding valve control is shown in Fig. 4 of EP 458857. It is hereby expressly incorporated by reference and is considered part of the present disclosure.
- Three valves are arranged in a cylinder head, an intake valve, an exhaust valve and a decompression valve which is only open when the engine brake is activated and which connects to the exhaust system. Each valve is operated via its own camshaft.
- a switchable plunger sits between the decompression valve and the assigned camshaft, which transmits the cam movement to the decompression valve only in engine braking mode.
- the disadvantage of the described engine brake is that, depending on the speed, a non-controllable braking power is provided which is essentially determined by the stroke volume, towing power and by the design of the valves, the valve train and the brake flap.
- the present invention is therefore concerned with the problem of valve control as a drive or Brake switchable internal combustion engine to adapt the braking power provided by an engine brake to different requirements. This problem is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
- Brake cam shaft is to be understood here as meaning both an additional camshaft and one or more brake cams arranged coaxially on the main camshaft and adjustable in their phase position.
- the brake camshaft can be switched on in a known manner by reducing the valve clearance or by means of a switchable valve lever or tappet, as in EP 458857.
- Gearboxes for changing the relative phase position of camshafts are known for varying the charge exchange. B. from EP 396280 and EP 202682.
- Controlling the engine braking power by adjusting the engine brake flap installed in the exhaust tract is also known. However, only a part of the braking power delivered by the engine brake can be controlled.
- a further part of the braking power can be variably adjusted by the present invention.
- the desired braking power is set by setting the corresponding phase shift. If only a small braking power is required, the valve causing the decompression either opens well before TDC or only after TDC, so that part of the compression work is not applied in the first case and is recovered by expansion in the second case before decompression begins.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified by claim 2.
- Cams of both shafts assigned to each other act on only one, two common levers. No switching device is then required to switch on the brake valve, the brake camshaft becomes effective solely through the phase shift between the two camshafts or remains ineffective in a certain range of the phase shift.
- both shafts run roughly in phase, both cams try to contact the valve lever at the same time.
- the cam of the brake camshaft does not make contact with the valve lever, since the lever is rotated by the cam of the main camshaft out of the effective range of the cam of the brake camshaft.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the valve control according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows the phase position of the main cam and brake cam in engine operation
- Fig. 3 shows the phase relationship of the main cam and brake cam in braking operation
- Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of a coaxially adjustable in its phase position brake cam on the main camshaft in cross section.
- the brake flap in the exhaust system that is regularly present in engine brake systems is not shown in the drawing.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 each show the opening curve of the exhaust valve as a function of the crankshaft angle in the upper area, and the relative position of the camshafts to one another in the lower area.
- the dotted curve shows the opening curve of the exhaust valve generated by the brake camshaft.
- a valve lever 4 which can be actuated by a main camshaft 5 and a brake camshaft 6.
- the phase position of both camshafts can be rotated with respect to one another by a phase adjustment gearbox P (indicated by arrows to the camshafts starting from P).
- the brake camshaft 6 is ineffective because both Rotate shafts 5 and 6 in phase and the cam 7 of the main camshaft 5 lifts the valve lever 4 so far that the clearance S is present between the cam 8 of the brake camshaft 6 and the valve lever 4.
- phase shift Ph of the brake camshaft 6 With a phase shift Ph of the brake camshaft 6, the cam 8 also takes effect.
- the phase shift Ph between the main camshaft 5 and the brake camshaft 6 is set so that the brake camshaft 6 actuates the exhaust valve 3 at approximately the end of the compression stroke in order to achieve the maximum braking power.
- the braking power of the motor brake can be adapted to the respective requirements by varying the phase shift Ph.
- the valve lever can also be fork-shaped, with both camshafts engaging different forks.
- One camshaft can also contact the valve lever from below and the other from above.
- Fig. 2 is the phase position of the cams in engine operation
- FIG. 4 shows the arrangement of a brake cam 6, 8, which is displaceable in its phase position by a phase adjustment gear P, on a main camshaft 5.
- the cam of the main camshaft has the reference number 7.
