Definitions
- the invention relates to a drive device for a camshaft according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a drive device is described for example in DE-A 19 63 549.
- a main requirement in the construction of such so-called adjusting camshafts is that little or no additional space is required in the longitudinal direction compared to non-adjustable camshafts, since otherwise the internal combustion engine can be accommodated due to the extremely restricted space in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle with adjustable camshaft (s) is often not possible or only possible if the bodywork is changed costly.
- the space requirement for the camshaft adjustment in the longitudinal direction of the camshaft is already considerably reduced compared to other known solutions (for example DE-C 33 16 162).
- the invention has for its object to provide a camshaft drive device of the generic type, the longitudinal extent of which is only extremely slightly greater than the longitudinal extent of a drive device without a camshaft adjusting device.
- the switching element can be actuated hydraulically by a servomotor, for example in accordance with DE-A 19 63 549, in which part of the switching element forms a hydraulic piston.
- a servomotor adjacent to the end of the camshaft facing away from the drive wheel and to connect the actuator of the servomotor to the shifting element by means of a shift rod passing through the camshaft.
- the servomotor comes with a longitudinally installed internal combustion engine at a point in the engine compartment at which the bonnet rises towards the windshield, so that there is sufficient space for accommodating the servomotor.
- 1 is a partial longitudinal section of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine in a horizontal plane through a camshaft
- Fig. 2 shows a section of the camshaft drive along line 2-2 in Fig. 1, and
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective illustration of the switching element.
- Fig. 1 denotes the cylinder head of a valve-controlled reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, in which a camshaft 3 is mounted via bearing 2, the cams of which actuate intake and / or exhaust valves, not shown, of the internal combustion engine.
- a tubular extension 4 is screwed to the camshaft 3 by screws 4a, on which a drive wheel 5 is mounted, which is driven by the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine.
- the holes 4b in the extension 4, through which the screws 4a extend, are designed as elongated holes in order to enable a basic setting of the camshaft 3 relative to the drive wheel 5.
- a switching element 6 is used, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive wheel via a first pair of teeth 7, 9 and in a rotationally fixed manner to the camshaft extension 4 via a second pair of teeth 8, 11.
- the pairs of teeth 7, 9 and 8, 11 include different angles the longitudinal center axis of the camshaft 3.
- the pair of teeth 7, 9 is designed as a straight toothing and the pair of teeth 8, 11 as a helical toothing.
- the pair of teeth 7, 9 could also be designed as helical teeth and the pair of teeth 8, 11 as straight teeth.
- an axial displacement of the control element 6 causes the camshaft 3 to rotate relative to the drive wheel 5 and thus a change in the valve timing.
- the shift element 6 is axially displaced with the aid of a servomotor 15 arranged at the other end of the camshaft 3, the actuator of which in the exemplary embodiment is a hydraulic piston 16 ′′ , connected to the shift element 6 by means of a shift rod 17 which penetrates a through hole 18 in the camshaft 3 Pressure load on one side of the actuating piston 16 and pressure relief on the other piston surface by means of a control slide 20 actuated, for example, by an electromagnet 19, the switching element 6 is moved from one end position to the other, as is known, the switchover can take place as a function of operating parameters To avoid twisting, the switching rod 17 can be connected to the switching element 6 and to the actuating piston 16 such that they can move in an angular manner.
- the servomotor 15 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the camshaft 3 in the exemplary embodiment. This avoids an axial bearing for the camshaft, which is necessary in a stationary servomotor to absorb the axial actuating forces.
- the pressure medium supply and discharge to the right in FIG. 2 of the actuating piston 16 takes place via the camshaft bearing 2 'and a bore 21 in the camshaft 3 through the hollow shift rod 17 and the hollow screw 22, which connects the actuating piston 16 to the shift rod 17.
- the pressure medium supply and discharge to and from the left side of the actuating piston 16 likewise takes place through the camshaft bearing 2 'and a second bore 23 in the camshaft and an annular space 24 between the shift rod 17 and the wall of the through bore 18.
- a sleeve 25 is pressed into the through bore 18 to seal the two bores 21 and 23 from one another.
- the switching element 6 is arranged in the tubular camshaft extension 4 and on its circumference, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, the external teeth 7 of the first pair of teeth and the external teeth 8 of the second pair of teeth are alternately provided.
- the external toothing 7 is formed by spur toothing extending in the longitudinal direction of the camshaft 3
- the external toothing 8 is formed by helical toothing sectors which are arranged between adjacent spur toothing sectors 7.
- Corresponding internal helical gear segments 11 on the inner circumference of the tubular camshaft extension 4 engage with the helical gear sectors 8.
- This camshaft extension 4 is provided between the segments 11 with openings 10 through which spokes 12 of the drive wheel 5 extend, which engage with the straight toothed ends 9 in the straight toothed sectors 7.
- the spokes 12 are arranged in the openings 10 with so much play in the circumferential direction that the desired angular adjustment of the camshaft 3 relative to the drive wheel 5 is made possible.
- the helical toothing 7 of the switching element 6 has a larger pitch circle diameter than the straight toothing 8. This allows the helical toothing by hobbing produce since there is a lateral outlet for the milling tool.
- Straight teeth can be made by broaching or butting.
- the switching element can also be a sintered body in which at least the straight toothing is completely sintered.

Abstract
Un dispositif d'entraînement d'un arbre à came (3) d'un moteur à combustion interne comprend un élément qui met en rotation l'arbre à came (3) par rapport à une roue axiale (5) d'entraînement pourvue d'un élément commutateur (6) qui coopère avec la roue d'entraînement au moyen d'une première paire de dentures droites (7, 9), qui coopère avec l'arbre à came (3) au moyen d'une deuxième paire de dentures hélicoïdales (8, 11) et qui peut être axialement déplacé par un moteur de réglage. Les dentures des paires de dentures agencées entre l'élément commutateur (6) et la roue d'entraînement (5) d'une part et entre l'élément commutateur (6) et l'arbre à came (3) d'autre part sont agencées les unes derrières les autres dans le sens circonférentiel, c'est-à-dire une paire de dentures agencées entre l'élément commutateur (6) et la roue d'entraînement (5) suit dans le sens circonférentiel une paire de dentures agencées entre l'élément de réglage (6) et l'arbre à came (3). Par conséquent, le réglage de l'arbre à came nécessite un espace minime.A device for driving a camshaft (3) of an internal combustion engine comprises an element which rotates the camshaft (3) relative to an axial drive wheel (5) provided with 'a switching element (6) which cooperates with the drive wheel by means of a first pair of straight teeth (7, 9), which cooperates with the camshaft (3) by means of a second pair of helical teeth (8, 11) and which can be moved axially by an adjustment motor. The teeth of the pairs of teeth arranged between the switch element (6) and the drive wheel (5) on the one hand and between the switch element (6) and the camshaft (3) on the other hand are arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction, i.e. a pair of teeth arranged between the switching element (6) and the drive wheel (5) follows in the circumferential direction a pair of teeth arranged between the adjusting element (6) and the camshaft (3). Therefore, the adjustment of the camshaft requires minimal space.
