- the closing time of the intake valves can be optimized. This can be used to drive a Late Intake Valve Closing (LIVC) strategy.
- LIVC Late Intake Valve Closing
- Closing the intake valves past bottom dead center (UT) allows some of the gas to be forced back into the intake tract, reducing the length of the compression stroke. This leads to a reduction of the pumping losses of the engine and thus to an improved fuel efficiency.
- the closing of the intake valves can be optimized depending on the engine speed and engine load.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Nockenwellenanordnung zur Veränderung der relativen Winkellage mindestens einer ersten Nocke einer Nockenwelle relativ zu einer zweiten Nocke der Nockenwelle, wobei die Anordnung eine Winkelverstellvorrichtung umfasst, die einen Stator und einen relativ zu diesem drehbar angeordneten Rotor aufweist, wobei der Rotor drehfest mit einer Welle verbunden ist, wobei der Stator drehfest mit einer Hohlwelle verbunden ist, wobei die Welle und die Hohlwelle konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind, wobei die mindestens eine erste Nocke drehfest mit der Welle verbunden ist und wobei die mindestens eine zweite Nocke drehfest mit der Hohlwelle verbunden ist.The invention relates to a camshaft arrangement for changing the relative angular position of at least one first cam of a camshaft relative to a second cam of the camshaft, wherein the arrangement comprises an angle adjusting, which has a stator and a rotatable relative thereto arranged rotor, the rotor rotatably with a Shaft is connected, wherein the stator is rotatably connected to a hollow shaft, wherein the shaft and the hollow shaft are arranged concentrically to each other, wherein the at least one first cam is rotatably connected to the shaft and wherein the at least one second cam is non-rotatably connected to the hollow shaft ,
Nockenwellenanordnung dieser Art sind als "Cam in Cam"-Systeme bekannt. Mit ihnen können mindestens zwei Nocken der Nockenwelle - meist eine Anzahl jeweiliger Nocken - relativ zueinander auf der Nockenwelle verdreht werden, um die Steuerzeiten der Gaswechselventile eines Verbrennungsmotors zu verändern. Derartige Nockenwellensysteme sind beispielsweise in der
Bekannt ist es, die drehfeste Verbindung zwischen dem Stator bzw. einem Teil desselben und der Hohlwelle mittels einer Verschraubung herzustellen, genauso, wie es für die Verbindung zwischen der inneren Welle und dem Rotor typisch ist. Nachteilig ist bei dieser Lösung, dass hierfür ein relativ großer radialer Bauraum benötigt wird. Dies ist insbesondere problematisch, wenn der Verbrennungsmotor in der OHC-Bauart (Overhead Camshaft) ausgeführt ist. Weiter erhöht sich durch diese Verbindung das Gewicht der Anordnung.It is known to make the non-rotatable connection between the stator and a part thereof and the hollow shaft by means of a screw, just as it is typical for the connection between the inner shaft and the rotor. The disadvantage of this solution is that this is a relatively large radial Space is needed. This is particularly problematic when the engine is designed in the OHC (Overhead Camshaft) type. Next increased by this connection, the weight of the arrangement.
Weiterhin ist es bei Nockenwellenverstellsystemen bekannt geworden, die drehfeste Verbindung mit einem oder mehreren Bolzen herzustellen, die in die Anordnung eingepresst werden (s. hierzu die
Demgemäß stellt die Verbindung der Hohlwelle mit dem Stator bei gattungsgemäßen Verstellvorrichtungen eine Schwachstelle dar, die im Versagensfall zu einem Funktionsausfall der Nockenwellenanordnung führen kann.Accordingly, the connection of the hollow shaft with the stator in generic adjustment devices is a weak point, which can lead to a malfunction of the camshaft assembly in case of failure.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Nockenwellenanordnung der eingangs genannten Art so fortzubilden, dass die Verbindung zwischen dem Stator und der Hohlwelle verbessert wird. Dabei soll insbesondere eine radial platzsparende Lösung angestrebt werden, da der zur Verfügung stehende Bauraum sehr begrenzt ist.The present invention has the object , a camshaft assembly of the type mentioned in such a way that the connection between the stator and the hollow shaft is improved. In particular, a radially space-saving solution should be sought, since the available space is very limited.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die drehfeste Verbindung zwischen Stator und Hohlwelle über ein fest mit dem Stator verbundenes Deckelelement erfolgt, wobei das Deckelelement eine Bohrung zur Aufnahme eines zylindrischen Abschnitts der Hohlwelle aufweist und wobei in der zylindrischen Kontaktfläche zwischen Deckelelement und Hohlwelle eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung vorliegt.The solution of this problem by the invention is characterized in that the rotationally fixed connection between the stator and the hollow shaft via a fixedly connected to the stator cover element, wherein the cover member has a bore for receiving a cylindrical portion of the hollow shaft and wherein in the cylindrical contact surface between the cover element and hollow shaft is a frictional connection.
Die Bohrung ist bevorzugt konzentrisch zur Welle und Hohlwelle angeordnet. Das Deckelelement ist mit dem Stator verschraubt.The bore is preferably arranged concentrically to the shaft and hollow shaft. The cover element is screwed to the stator.
Die kraftschlüssige Verbindung kann durch einen Presssitz oder einen Schrumpfsitz zwischen der Bohrung und dem zylindrischen Abschnitt hergestellt sein. Damit eine hinreichende Kontaktfläche für die Übertragung eines ausreichend großen Drehmoments zur Verfügung steht, sieht eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführung vor, dass das Deckelelement eine weitgehend konstante Dicke in Achsrichtung der Welle und Hohlwelle aufweist, wobei das Deckelelement im Bereich der Bohrung in seiner Dicke erweitert ist, um die Länge der zylindrischen Kontaktfläche zu vergrößern. Das Deckelelement hat dabei bevorzugt eine ebene Stirnseite, wobei sich dann die erweiterte Dicke ins Innere der Anordnung erstreckt.The frictional connection may be made by a press fit or a shrink fit between the bore and the cylindrical portion. So that a sufficient contact surface is available for the transmission of a sufficiently large torque, a particularly preferred embodiment provides that the cover element has a largely constant thickness in the axial direction of the shaft and hollow shaft, wherein the cover element is widened in its thickness in the region of the bore, to increase the length of the cylindrical contact surface. The cover element preferably has a flat end face, with the extended thickness then extending into the interior of the arrangement.
Die Winkelverstellvorrichtung ist vorzugsweise als hydraulische Verstellvorrichtung ausgebildet.The angle adjustment device is preferably designed as a hydraulic adjusting device.
Mit dieser Ausgestaltung wird es möglich, eine sehr feste Verbindung zwischen Stator und Hohlwelle herzustellen, die wenig Raum einnimmt.With this embodiment, it is possible to produce a very strong connection between the stator and the hollow shaft, which occupies little space.

Eine Anordnung dieser Art dient dazu, die Ventilsteuerzeiten eines Verbrennungsmotors zu variieren. Zumeist werden hydraulisch betätigte Versteller eingesetzt.An arrangement of this kind serves to vary the valve timing of an internal combustion engine. In most cases, hydraulically actuated adjusters are used.
Nach einer ersten Fahrstrategie wird die Steuerung eines Einlassventils relativ zu einem Auslassventil - bzw. umgekehrt - verändert, was zumeist in Motoren der Bauarten SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) oder OHV (Overhead Valves) nützlich ist. Dies erlaubt die Veränderung der Einlassphase oder der Auslassphase mit einer einzigen Nockenwelle.According to a first driving strategy, the control of an intake valve is changed relative to an exhaust valve, or vice versa, which is mostly useful in SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) or OHV (Overhead Valves) engines. This allows the change of the intake phase or the exhaust phase with a single camshaft.
Eine zweite Fahrstrategie sieht vor, dass die Steuerzeiten eines Satzes Einlassventile relativ zu einem anderen Satz von Ventilen mit einer einzelnen Einlassnockenwelle verändert werden. Dies kann eingesetzt werden, wenn zwei oder möglicherweise drei Einlassventile pro Zylinder vorgesehen sind und es gewünscht wird, die Steuerzeiten eines der Einlassventile relativ zu den anderen an einem Zylinder zu verändern.A second driving strategy is to change the timing of one set of intake valves relative to another set of valves with a single intake camshaft. This can be used if two or possibly three intake valves per cylinder are provided and it is desired to change the timing of one of the intake valves relative to the others on a cylinder.
Nach einer dritten Fahrstrategie werden die Steuerzeiten eines Satzes von Auslassventilen relativ zu einem anderen Satz von Ventilen mit einer einzelnen Auslassnockenwelle verändert. Dies kann zum Einsatz kommen, wenn zwei oder möglicherweise drei Auslassventile pro Zylinder vorgesehen sind, wobei es gewünscht ist, die Steuerzeiten eines Auslassventils relativ zu den anderen an einem Zylinder zu verändern.According to a third driving strategy, the timing of one set of exhaust valves is changed relative to another set of valves with a single exhaust camshaft. This can be used when two or possibly three exhaust valves per cylinder are provided, where it is desired to vary the timing of one exhaust valve relative to the other on a cylinder.
Hier weist die Nockenwellenanordnung 1 eine Winkelverstellvorrichtung 3 auf, die mit der Nockenwelle 2 verbunden ist. Auf der Nockenwelle sind Nocken für beispielsweise die Einlass- und Auslassventile des Verbrennungsmotors angeordnet. Mittels der Winkelverstellvorrichtung 3 ist es möglich, einen Teil der Nocken relativ zu einem anderen Teil der Nocken zu verdrehen. Hierfür besteht die Nockenwelle 2, aus zwei koaxial angeordneten Wellenelementen, nämlich aus einer Welle 6 und einer Hohlwelle 7, in der die Welle 6 koaxial angeordnet ist. Die sich auf der Nockenwelle 2 befindlichen Nocken sind entweder mit der Welle 6 oder mit der Hohlwelle 7 drehfest verbunden. Details hierzu gehen aus der
Die Winkelverstellvorrichtung 3 weist einen Stator 4 und einen Rotor 5 auf, die relativ zueinander - im Ausführungsbeispiel mittels hydraulischer Betätigung - um einen definierten Winkel verdreht werden können. Diese Erzeugung dieser Verdrehfunktion ist im Stand der Technik bekannt, wobei exemplarisch auf die
Der Rotor 6 ist mit der Welle 6 drehfest verbunden, wobei hierfür eine Zentralschraube 13 eingesetzt wird. Durch die Zentralschraube 13 wird eine feste radiale und axiale Verbindung zwischen Rotor 5 und Welle 6 sichergestellt.The
Der Stator 4 weist ein Deckelelement 8 auf, das mittels Schrauben 14 mit dem Stator 4 verbunden ist. Mit dem Deckelelement 8 ist die Hohlwelle 7 drehfest verbunden. Die drehfeste Verbindung zwischen Stator 4 und Hohlwelle 7 erfolgt über das mit dem Stator 4 verbundenes Deckelelement 8 dabei in der Weise, dass das Deckelelement 8 eine Bohrung 9 zur Aufnahme eines zylindrischen Abschnitts 10 der Hohlwelle 7 aufweist. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass in der zylindrischen Kontaktfläche 11 zwischen Deckelelement 8 und Hohlwelle 7 eine kraftschlüssige und/oder eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung vorliegt.The
Hierfür ist im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Um die Bohrung 9 mit einer hinreichend langen Erstreckung in Achsrichtung zu versehen, ist das Deckelelement 8 im Bereich der Bohrung 9 mit einer sich in Achsrichtung erstreckenden Verbreiterung 15 versehen. Mit dieser wird eine ausreichende Kontaktlänge sichergestellt, so dass die Verbindung mittels Presssitz zwischen Deckelelement 8 und Hohlwelle 7 ausreichend fest ist. Demgemäß ist die weitgehend homogene Dicke d des Deckelelements 8 über dessen radial Erstreckung im Bereich der Bohrung 9 infolge der Verbreiterung 15 auf den Wert D erhöht, der bevorzugt mindestens das 1,5-fache, besonders bevorzugt mindestens das 2-fache, des Wertes von d beträgt.In order to provide the
Die äußere Stirnseite 12 des Deckelelements 8 ist weitgehend eben ausgebildet, d. h. die Verbreiterung 15 erstreckt sich ins Innere der Winkelverstellvorrichtung 3.The outer end face 12 of the
An der dem Deckelelement 8 gegenüberliegenden Seite ist die Winkelverstellvorrichtung 3 mit einem weiteren Deckelelement 16 verschlossen. Der Antrieb der Winkelverstellvorrichtung 3 und damit der Nockenwelle 2 erfolgt in bekannter Weise über ein Ritzel 17 über eine von der Kurbelwelle der Brennkraftmaschine angetriebene (nicht dargestellte) Kette. Das Ritzel 17 ist hier als separates Bauteil ausgebildet. Es kann aber auch in den Stator 4 integriert ausgebildet sein.On the side opposite the
Damit ist es möglich, die Phasenlage zwischen den Nocken, die mit der Hohlwelle 7 drehfest verbunden sind, und den Nocken, die mit der Welle 6 drehfest verbunden sind, zu beeinflussen, d. h. zu verstellen. Die Verbindung zwischen dem Deckelelement 8 und der Hohlwelle 7 ist dabei erfindungsgemäß so fest ausgebildet, dass ein ausreichendes Drehmoment übertragen werden kann, um gegen die Federkraft der Gaswechselventile die Betätigung der Nocken zu bewerkstelligen. Dasselbe gilt natürlich für die Verbindung zwischen dem Rotor 5 und der Welle 6 mittels der Zentralschraube 13.Thus, it is possible to influence the phase position between the cams, which are non-rotatably connected to the

In einem Motor mit einer einzelnen Nockenwelle (SOHC-Bauweise - Single Overhead Camshaft) bzw. einem Motor in OHV-Bauart (Overhead Valve) betätigt die Welle 6 die Auslassventile, wobei die Steuerung der Auslassventile relativ zur Kurbelwelle des Motors verstellt werden können. Die Betätigung der Auslassventile ist dabei in der linken Figurenhälfte in

In einem Motor mit zwei obenliegenden Nockenwellen (DOHC-Bauart) kann vorgesehen werden, dass die Welle 6 mit den drehfest auf ihr befestigten Nocken ein oder mehrere Auslassventile pro Zylinder betätigt, während die verbleibenden Auslassventile durch die Hohlwelle 7 und den auf ihr drehfest angeordneten Nocken betätigt werden. Eine solche Lösung zeigt
Damit kann die Dauer des Öffnens der Auslassventile verändert werden, so dass die Öffnungszeit der Auslassventile optimiert werden kann. Eine frühe Öffnung der Auslassventile vor dem unteren Totpunkt (UT) ermöglicht ein schnelles Aufwärmen des Verbrennungsmotors, was die Kaltstart-Emissionen verringert.Thus, the duration of the opening of the exhaust valves can be changed, so that the opening time of the exhaust valves can be optimized. Early opening of the exhaust valves before bottom dead center (UT) allows the engine to warm up quickly, reducing cold start emissions.

Das Schließen der Einlassventile hinter dem unteren Totpunkt (UT) ermöglicht es, dass ein Teil des Gases zurück in den Ansaugtrakt gedrückt wird, was die Länge des Kompressionstakts reduziert. Dies führt zu einer Reduzierung der Pumpverluste des Motors und so zu einer verbesserten Treibstoff-Effizienz. Das Schließen der Einlassventile kann abhängig von der Drehzahl und von der Motorlast optimiert werden.Closing the intake valves past bottom dead center (UT) allows some of the gas to be forced back into the intake tract, reducing the length of the compression stroke. This leads to a reduction of the pumping losses of the engine and thus to an improved fuel efficiency. The closing of the intake valves can be optimized depending on the engine speed and engine load.
