Definitions
- the invention relates to a drive device for a camshaft mounted in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention has for its object to provide a drive device of the generic type with which the problems described when installing the internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle are avoided.
- the servomotor is arranged adjacent to the end of the camshaft facing away from the drive wheel and in that the actuator of the servomotor is connected to the switching element by a switching rod which passes through the camshaft.
- the servomotor can be accommodated without any problems since it sits at a point at which the bonnet rises towards the windshield.
- the drive wheel and the camshaft are preferably mounted independently of one another in the cylinder head, which results in a much simpler construction than in the prior art.
- the two external toothings of the switching element are arranged on separate sections which are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed but angularly movable manner.
- Fig. 1 shows a partial longitudinal section of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine in a horizontal plane through a camshaft
- FIG. 2 is a view of the assembly comprising the switching element, the shift rod and the actuator of the servomotor.
- Fig. 1, 1 designates the cylinder head of a valve-controlled reciprocating internal combustion engine, in which a camshaft 3 is supported via bearings 2 and carries cams 4 with which intake and / or exhaust valves (not shown) of the internal combustion engine are actuated.
- a drive wheel 5 is mounted in the cylinder head 1, which is driven by the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine.
- a switching element 6 is used, which has two axially adjacent external toothings 7 and 8, which include different angles with the longitudinal center axis of the camshaft 3.
- the external toothing 7 is designed as a straight toothing and the external toothing 8 as a helical toothing.
- the external toothing 8 could also be designed as a straight toothing and the external toothing 7 as a helical toothing.
- the external toothing 7 engages in a corresponding internal toothing 9 in the hollow hub 10 of the drive wheel 5 and the external toothing 8 engages in a corresponding internal toothing 11 in a longitudinal bore 12 of the camshaft 3.
- the switching element 6 can be axially displaced by a servomotor 13.
- the servomotor is arranged on the end of the camshaft 3 facing away from the drive wheel 5 and, in the exemplary embodiment, has a hydraulic cylinder 14 which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the camshaft 3 by its cover 20 and with its hub 22 in a bearing 15 coaxial with the camshaft bearings 2 is stored. " In the cylinder 14, a piston 16 is slidably arranged, from which a shift rod 17 extends, which is connected to the control element 6. A spring 18 in the cover 20 strives to move to its in FIG. 1, left end position to the piston 16 ⁇ . The piston 16 forms a hydraulic chamber 19 with the cylinder 14.
- a sleeve 21 is seated in the hub 22, in which a valve body 23 is slidably arranged with two longitudinal grooves 24 and 25, of which the first longitudinal groove 24 has an opening 28 in the sleeve 21 communicates with the hydraulic chamber 19 and the second longitudinal groove 25 is open to the interior of the cylinder head 1.
- the valve body 23 is under the action of a spring 26, which strives to hold the valve body 23 in the position shown, in which the first longitudinal groove 24 via a channel . 27 in the hub 22 and in the sleeve 21 is connected to the bearing 15 so that the hydraulic chamber 19 is supplied with pressure oil from the bearing 15 and the piston 16 is moved against the action of the spring 18 into the right end position shown.
- the valve body 23 can be moved to the right by an electromagnet 28 against the action of the spring 26.
- the first longitudinal groove 24 is controlled by the channel 27 and the second longitudinal groove 25 through a further opening 29 in the sleeve 21 with the hydraulic chamber 19 in connection. This can reduce the pressure in the hydraulic chamber 19 and the spring 18 can move the piston 16 to the left. This causes a corresponding displacement of the actuating element 6, the camshaft 3 being rotated relative to the drive wheel 5 due to the helical teeth 8, 11
- the drive wheel or its hub 10 is mounted in the cylinder head 1 independently of the camshaft 3.
- the external toothings 7 and 8 of the switching element 6 can be arranged on separate sections which are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed but angularly movable manner by a cardan joint 30 indicated schematically in FIG. 2.
- the servomotor 13 is shown in the exemplary embodiment as a hydraulic motor, the actuator (piston 16) of which is displaced in one direction by the spring 18 and in the other direction by oil pressure.
- the actuator rod 16
- the actuator is moved in both directions by oil pressure.
- the arrangement of the servomotor 13 on the end of the camshaft 3 facing away from the drive wheel saves the otherwise required space for accommodating the servomotor in front of the drive wheel 5.
- the problems in accommodating the internal combustion engine in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle are thereby considerably reduced.

Abstract
Un dispositif d'entraînement pour un arbre à cames (3) d'un moteur à combustion interne est pourvu d'un système de rotation de l'arbre à cames (3) relativement à un pignon d'entraînement (5) coaxial, présentant un élément de commande pignon (6) qui coopère avec le pignon d'entraînement (5) par l'intermédiaire d'une denture droite (7) et avec l'arbre à cames par l'intermédiaire d'une denture hélicoïdale (8) et qui peut être déplacé axialement par un servomoteur (13). Le servomoteur (13) est situé à l'extrémité de l'arbre à cames (3) opposée au pignon d'entraînement (5). On évite ainsi que la longueur axiale du moteur à combustion interne se prolonge au-delà du pignon d'entraînement (5) à cause du servomoteur.A drive device for a camshaft (3) of an internal combustion engine is provided with a camshaft rotation system (3) relative to a coaxial drive pinion (5), having a pinion control element (6) which cooperates with the drive pinion (5) via a straight toothing (7) and with the camshaft via a helical toothing (8) and which can be moved axially by a servomotor (13). The actuator (13) is located at the end of the camshaft (3) opposite the drive pinion (5). This prevents the axial length of the internal combustion engine from extending beyond the drive pinion (5) due to the servomotor.
