Definitions

  • the invention relates to a camshaft for in particular an actuation of the gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a camshaft is known, for example EP 0 582 846 B1 and US 6,725,817 , In these camshafts, the two actuators are hydraulically actuated.
  • Such hydraulic drives operate on the one hand relatively inertially and, on the other hand, are temperature-dependent with respect to their control values. In addition, larger adjustment angles are difficult and not achievable with the aforementioned special drive designs.
  • the invention is concerned with the problem of providing a speedy, with respect to their positioning accuracy independent actuators in a generic camshaft with which in particular practically arbitrarily large adjustment angle are easily possible.
  • This problem is solved by the application of a for adjusting the camshaft itself already DE 102 22 475 A1 known swash plate drive in a special embodiment according to the characterizing features of patent claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the general idea to convert a known in itself for the rotational angle adjustment of a one-piece camshaft swashplate actuator in a simple manner in a double actuator, with the constructively simple and safe way arbitrary rotational angle adjustments of two coaxial nested waves can be achieved, the form a common camshaft, in each case connected to the one and the other of the two shafts cam on the one hand against each other navwinkelver Issue, further on the other hand at the same time also a common rotational angle adjustment of both shafts is possible.
  • the drivers of both swashplates engage in a common ring formed on one of the two shaft ends.
  • the drivers are displaceable in the direction of the common axis of the two shafts within the ring.
  • both swash plate bearings rotate about a common axis of both shafts.
  • both actuators comprise coaxial with one another, acting on the swash plate bearing drive shafts.
  • the inventive device with two swashplates comprehensive actuators allows any appropriate adjustments of the two shafts against each other and / or together with respect to the main drive with a corresponding electronic control device.
  • a particular advantage of an actuator with a swash plate is to be able to achieve very high gear ratios in a simple manner.
  • the basic principle of a swash plate drive in the form of a gear transmission is that the 2ähneterrorism between the sprocket of the swash plate and the ring gear in which the swash plate meshes, only by a small number of teeth, which may be one in the extreme case, different.
  • Such swash plate gears are known per se in the prior art, which is why their operating principle and structural design need not be explained in detail here. Further information regarding a camshaft swash plate adjustment drive may, for example, already mentioned above DE 102 22 475 A1 be removed.
  • a camshaft consists of coaxially superimposed shafts, namely a first shaft 1 as an inner shaft and a second shaft 2 as an outer shaft. Of these two shafts 1, 2, only the sections are shown at one end.
  • the consisting of the two shafts 1 and 2 camshaft has first cam, which are fixedly connected to the first shaft and second cam which are connected to the second shaft, so that these cams can be rotated by a rotation angle adjustment of the two shafts 1, 2 against each other.
  • the cams and their attachment to the two shafts 1, 2 are not shown in the drawing.
  • the two shafts 1, 2 are each connected to a separately operable actuator namely the first shaft 1 with a first actuator 3 and the second shaft 2 with a second actuator 4. Both actuators 3, 4 are designed as swash plate drives.
  • a diameter-moderately stepped ring 5 is fixedly connected, while the fixed connection is made in the small-diameter ring section, while the larger-diameter section encloses the two actuators 3, 4, of which this section is one below is more detailed component.
  • Each of the two actuators 3, 4 consists of the following components.
  • a swash plate 3 ', 4' rotatably supports on a swash plate bearing 3 ''; 4 ''.
  • the swash plate bearings 3 ''; 4 are each driven via an actuating drive shaft, namely a first and second actuating drive shaft 3 '' ', 4' ''.
  • the first drive shaft 3 '' ' coaxially supports within the second drive shaft 4' '' designed as a hollow shaft.
  • the first swash plate bearing 3 "rotatably supports on a fixedly connected to the first shaft 1 first axis 6. Fixedly connected to the first shaft 1 is an annular disc. 7
  • drivers 3 IV ; 4 IV provided, which protrude radially outward.
  • These drivers 3 IV ; 4 IV engage in a longitudinal groove 8 in the inner periphery of the ring 5 in its large diameter portion, said longitudinal groove parallel to the common axis of the first and second shaft 1, 2 extends.
  • a corresponding number of longitudinal grooves 8 is provided in your radially outer side region.
  • the two swash plates 3 ', 4' each with a ring gear namely a first and second ring gear 3 V ; 4 V provided.
  • These sprockets 3 V ; 4 V engage in each assigned sprockets.
  • In the first actuator 3, such an associated sprocket 7 ' is located on the annular disk 7.
  • the second ring gear 4 V of the second swash plate 4 ' meshes in a ring gear 9' of an annular sleeve 9.
  • the annular sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to a gear 10 of a camshaft main drive.
  • This main drive has as a drive source, a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, of which the gear 10 is driven by a drive chain, not shown.
  • the second swash plate bearing 4 '' is rotatably mounted.
  • the two adjusting drive shafts 3 '' 'and 4' '' are part of two electric servomotors, which are not shown in the drawing.
  • the adjustable camshaft drive works as follows.
  • both shafts 1, 2 are rotationally adjusted with respect to the gearwheel 10 at the same rotational angle.
  • the first actuator 3 For a mutual adjustment of the shafts 1, 2, the first actuator 3 provides.
  • the shafts 1 and 2 can be rotational angle adjusted in a simple manner by a corresponding control of the actuators 3, 4 against each other and together with respect to the engaging via the gear 10 main drive.
