Definitions
- Reciprocating internal combustion engine according to the four-stroke method with a crankcase and at least one cylinder arranged therein, in which a working piston is guided by a crankshaft, with at least one cylinder head closing the cylinder whose inlet and outlet channels dominated by at least one inlet and outlet valve are, which are actuated by driven by a camshaft transmission elements, and with a brake control device, by means of which a pressure build-up in the exhaust system, in particular in the exhaust ports, and / or an additional opening of at least one exhaust valve.
- a system includes an exhaust throttle disposed in the exhaust system of the reciprocating internal combustion engine.
- the engine must work against the increased pressure in the exhaust system and thus provides braking power.
- Another system, DE 39 04 497 C1 has a decompression device.
- the exhaust valve or a separate valve is opened at the end of the compression stroke and thus released the resulting pressure in the combustion chamber. As a result, the energy is no longer returned to the engine during the subsequent relaxation cycle and a braking effect is created.
- EP 0 974 740 A2 to keep one of the exhaust valves open during the braking operation by a small amount, so that an ongoing decompression with corresponding braking effect occurs.
- hydraulic valve lash adjusters also referred to herein as "HVA”
- HVA hydraulic valve lash adjusters
- the object of the invention is therefore to modify hydraulic valve clearance compensation elements so that they are suitable for installation in the valve train of Hub piston internal combustion engine with engine braking device.
- the HVA should be designed so that they do not lead to readjustment even in conjunction with a motor brake control, since otherwise the valves would be open after the end of the engine braking operation. You should be able to ensure a reliable operation under all conditions.
- the HVA should continue to be designed so that it does not fall in the engine braking operation (compression) of the HVA ' s to avoid increased stress on the engine components. Summary of the invention
- the object of the invention is achieved by incorporating in at least one of the transmission elements between the camshaft and at least one inlet and / or outlet valve a hydraulic valve clearance compensation element which has a piston, a cylinder housing part cooperating with the piston and a check valve, and that an actuatable stop device is provided which limits the movement of the piston to the cylinder housing part and / or the cylinder housing part to the transmission element at least in one direction of movement.
- a hydraulic valve clearance compensation element which has a piston, a cylinder housing part cooperating with the piston and a check valve, and that an actuatable stop device is provided which limits the movement of the piston to the cylinder housing part and / or the cylinder housing part to the transmission element at least in one direction of movement.
- the inflating or adjusting the HVA will prevent 's, although the one or more exhaust valve (s) are open during engine braking operation part, and the transmission elements are at least partially relieved.
- the HVA may drop to the block position, with the HVA now compensating for the fall path upon exiting the brake mode.
- two actuatable stop devices are provided which limit the movement of the piston to the cylinder housing part and / or the cylinder housing part to the transmission element in both directions of movement.
- the hydraulic valve clearance compensation element remains fixed in its position reached before the braking operation, so that even after the end of the braking operation, the HVA no longer needs to compensate for the Absinkweg.
- the actuatable stop device (s) may advantageously comprise stop rings, which are guided in the transmission element, loaded in a direction of movement by means of the force of a spring and in the opposite direction can be loaded by means of hydraulic fluid.
- a stop body is preferably attached to the cylinder housing part, on which the stop ring can be supported. The stop ring is thereby moved so far that it supports the cylinder housing part via the stop body, so that the HVA remains pressurized.
- the stopper body is advantageously designed as a ring, preferably as a spring clamp ring, which is arranged in a groove of the cylinder housing. This is a simple, low-cost design that takes into account the requirements.
- the stop ring (s) could, from a functional point of view, also be installed in other components, including the HVA * s. But if they are installed in the transmission element, this means that the hydraulic valve clearance compensation element need not be changed apart from the groove for the spring clamp ring, which means a large cost.
- a clamping device is provided which determines the movement of the piston to the cylinder housing part and / or the cylinder housing part to the transmission element at least in one direction of movement.
- the clamping device preferably has a clamping ring arranged between the transmission element and the cylinder housing part or between the cylinder housing part and the piston, which is in operative connection with at least one conical wall surface of one of the said components.
- the clamping ring is similar to the stop ring loaded in a direction of movement by means of the force of a spring and designed to be resilient in the opposite direction by means of hydraulic fluid.
- the clamping device is preferably designed in the manner of a freewheel, wherein the clamping ring clamping body, in particular clamping balls, which with two adjacent Wandflä- The components are operatively connected and arranged in openings of the clamping body.
- the control of the stop or the clamping device (s) can be done either two flooded or one flooded.
- the hydraulic fluid for actuating the / the stop rings or the clamping ring by means of a separate pressure connection is, 's, controlled independently of the pressure medium supply of the HVA.
- the stopper ring (s) are moved against the force of the springs to the spring clamp ring, thereby limiting the movement of the HVA.
- the spring of the check valve is installed so that it loads the valve body in the closing direction. Thereby, the pressure buildup in the HVA is retained and the assembly of the HVA's simplified.
- the hydraulic fluid for actuating the stopper ring or the clamping ring is effected by means of the pressure port of the pressure medium supply of the hydraulic lash adjuster, and the actuation of the stopper ring or the compression ring is controlled by pressure change, increase / decrease in pressure.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a hydraulic valve clearance compensating element with limit stop on one side and two flooded formation in the stop position
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the HVA according to FIG. 1 in a freely movable position
- FIG. 3 shows a section through a hydraulic valve clearance compensating element similar to FIG. 1 in the stop position with two stop devices
- FIG. 4 shows a section through the HVA according to FIG. 3 in a freely movable position
- FIG. 5 shows a section through a hydraulic valve clearance compensating element similar to FIG. 1 in a flooded configuration in the stop position
- FIG. 6 shows a section through the HVA according to FIG. 5 in a freely movable position
- FIG. 7 shows a section through a hydraulic valve clearance compensation element in two flood configuration and clamping position
- FIG. 8 shows a section through the HVA according to FIG. 7, in a freely movable position
- FIG. 9 shows a section through a hydraulic valve clearance compensation element similar to FIG. 7 in a flooded configuration and clamping position and FIG
- FIG. 10 shows a section through the HVA according to FIG. 9 in a freely movable position.
- 1 denotes a transfer element, which is a rocker arm, a plunger, a rocker arm / oscillating lever, a bridge between two valves or another transfer element between camshaft and intake and / or exhaust valve can be. But it may also be a box-like component, which is installed in one of the above-mentioned transmission elements.
- the transmission element 1 has an inner opening, in which a cylinder housing part 2 is installed, which is closed like a pot.
- a piston 3 is guided, which forms an oil high-pressure chamber with the cylinder housing part 2, to which a central bore in the piston 3 is connected, which can be closed by means of a non-return valve designated 4.
- a return spring 18 is installed, whose force acts on the piston 3 and the cylinder housing part 2.
- a stop ring 5 is installed, which forms a pressure chamber with the transmission element 1, to which a pressure port 6 is connected for a control hydraulic fluid.
- a spring 7 is provided, which is designed as a compression spring and is supported on a support disk 8, which in turn is fixed via a retaining ring 9 in the transmission element 1.
- the cy Lindergepurteil 2 has a groove in which a spring clamp ring is arranged.
- a stop ring 5a is provided in addition to the stop-ring 5, which is arranged above the stop ring 5, wherein between the stop rings 5 and 5a, the spring 7 is installed.
- a further pressure connection 6a Associated with the stop ring 5a is a further pressure connection 6a, so that when the pressure builds up in the pressure connections 6 and 6a, the stop rings 5 and 5a are compressed and thus enclose the spring clamping ring 10 from both sides.
- the HVA is thus fixed in both directions of movement.
- a drain connection designated by 11 so that an outflow or a venting can take place.
- the spring 7 is installed so that it loads the stop ring 5 in the direction of the spring clamp ring 10 and the stop ring 5 also shifts when the hydraulic counter pressure on the stop ring 5 is smaller than the spring force.
- the assigned spring chamber is depressurized.
- Above the connection ring 5 a designated 12 pressure medium supply hole is attached, which is provided for the pressure medium supply of the HVA * s and beyond can be varied in its pressure. Becomes controlled there, a pressure reduction, so outweighs the force of the spring 7, moves the stop ring 5 against the spring clamp ring 10 and sets the cylinder housing part 2 firmly.
- valve body of the check valve 4 is loaded in this embodiment by a spring in the opening direction and the interior of the piston via a radial groove 16 in the support disk 8 is connected to the pressure medium supply bore 12, the spring 7, which can be designed to be stronger than the return spring 18th in the oil pressure chamber of the HVA 's, if necessary, the cylinder housing part 2 lifted and compress the HVA, especially since the force of the closing spring of the inlet or exhaust valve acts in the same direction-.
- the piston 3 has an annular shoulder, in which a clamping ring 13 is arranged, which has a piston ring surface 17 at its outer end.
- the clamping ring 13 has openings 14 in which clamping balls 15 are inserted.
- the cylindrical recess in the piston 3 has a conical extension in the direction of the check valve 4, so that a displacement of the clamping ring 13 via the piston ring surface 17 causes a jamming of the clamping balls between the piston 3 and the cylinder housing part 2.
- a spring 7a is further incorporated, which moves back the clamping ring 13 in the direction of the support disk 8a when the pressure of the hydraulic fluid.
- the support plate 8a as shown in FIGS 7 through 10 has a central opening for the pressure port of the oil supply of the HVA 's and in the embodiment shown in Figures 7 and 8, a lateral bore for the pressure connection for the control of the clamping ring 13.
- This control is possible because the cylinder housing part 2, the clamping ring 13 with its piston ring surface 17 and the support disk 8a are made flush on its outer circumference and are sealingly installed in a transmission element.
- the control of the clamping ring 13 via a pressure variation of the oil supply pressure of the HVA 's takes place.
- the support disk 8a in this case has a radial groove 16a, which establishes a connection between the interior of the piston 3 and the piston ring surface 17 of the clamping ring 13.
