Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système (100) et un procédé (110) permettant d'ajuster une longueur active d'une bielle (1) réglable en longueur pour un moteur à combustion interne, ainsi qu'un moteur à combustion interne muni d'une bielle (1) réglable en longueur et dudit système (100). La bielle (1) présente au moins une première partie de bielle (4) et une seconde partie de bielle (5) qui peuvent être déplacées l'une vers l'autre et/ou l'une dans l'autre au moyen d'un dispositif (16) de réglage en longueur dans la direction d'un axe longitudinal (1a) des parties de bielle (4, 5). Le système comprend un ensemble d'alimentation en lubrifiant (101) par lequel au moins un palier de vilebrequin (K) et/ou un palier de maneton (3c) du moteur à combustion interne peut être alimenté en lubrifiant, et une conduite hydraulique (13) par laquelle le dispositif (16) de réglage en longueur peut être alimenté en un lubrifiant utilisé en tant que fluide hydraulique. Le système comprend en outre un dispositif d'alimentation (37) qui peut être raccordé fluidiquement côté sortie à la fois à l'ensemble d'alimentation en lubrifiant (101) et à la conduite hydraulique (13) et qui est conçu pour prélever le lubrifiant côté entrée hors d'un réservoir (38) de lubrifiant, et pour diriger sélectivement une première part du lubrifiant prélevé vers l'ensemble d'alimentation en lubrifiant (101) pour la lubrification du ou des paliers de vilebrequin (K) et/ou du ou des paliers de maneton (3c), et une seconde part du lubrifiant vers la conduite hydraulique (13) pour le déplacement des deux parties de bielle (4, 5) l'une vers l'autre et/ou l'une dans l'autre.
