Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen mechanisch steuerbaren Ventiltrieb mit einem Gaswechselventil, auf das eine Schwenkhebelanordnung mittels einer Stirnfläche angreift, wobei Einstellmittel zur Ventilspieleinstellung vorgesehen sind, wobei die Schwenkhebelanordnung im Zylinderkopf mittels Lagermittel beweglich gelagert ist und wobei die Schwenkhebelanordnung eine Rolle aufweist, die über eine Arbeitskurve mit einem Kipphebel einer Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung in Wirkverbindung steht. Desweiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine mechanisch steuerbare Ventiltriebanordnung.The invention relates to a mechanically controllable valve train with a gas exchange valve, which acts on a pivot lever assembly by means of an end face, wherein adjusting means are provided for valve lash adjustment, wherein the pivot lever assembly is movably mounted in the cylinder head by means of bearing means and wherein the pivot lever assembly having a role with a working curve with a rocker arm of a Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung is in operative connection. Furthermore, the invention relates to a mechanically controllable valve train arrangement.
Derartige mechanisch steuerbare Ventiltriebe sind hinlänglich bekannt. So ist beispielsweise aus der
Um Verschleißerscheinungen des Ventilsitzes und den unterschiedlichen Betriebszuständen bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen Rechnung zu tragen, sind Ventiltriebe mit einem Ventilspiel ausgestattet, das ein geschlossenes Ventil über einen bestimmten Fahrzyklus gewährleisten soll. Neuere Motoren haben sogenannte Hydrostößel, die kein Ventilspiel mehr benötigen, und die gewährleisten, dass sich der Ventiltrieb den jeweiligen Betriebs- und Verschleißzuständen anpassen kann. Diese Art von Hydrostößel werden in Kombination mit einem Kugelkopf, auf dem der Schwenkhebel gelagert ist, auch bei den Ventiltrieben mit einer Hubverstellanordnung eingesetzt. Wenngleich hierdurch eine einwandfreie Schließung des Gaswechselventils gewährleistet ist, führen derartige Maßnahmen im Lebenszyklus des Verbrennungsmotors dazu, dass sich der Angriffspunkt der Arbeitskurve der Hubverstellanordnung auf die Rolle des Schwenkhebels verändert. Dies führt wiederum dazu, dass die bestimmten Betriebszuständen zugeordnete Ventilhubverstellung nicht mehr präzise arbeitet, was sich insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund einer optimalen Verbrennung und den damit verbundenen niedrigen Emissionen als nachteilig erweist.In order to take into account wear phenomena of the valve seat and the different operating states at different temperatures, valve trains are equipped with a valve clearance, which is intended to ensure a closed valve over a specific driving cycle. Newer engines have so-called hydraulic tappets, which no longer require valve clearance, and which ensure that the valve train can adapt to the respective operating and wearing conditions. This type of hydraulic tappet are used in combination with a ball head, on which the pivot lever is mounted, also in the valve drives with a Hubverstellanordnung. Although this ensures proper closure of the gas exchange valve, such measures in the life cycle of the internal combustion engine cause the point of application of the working curve of the Hubverstellanordnung changed to the role of the pivot lever. This in turn means that the specific operating conditions associated valve lift adjustment no longer works precisely, which proves to be particularly in the light of optimal combustion and the associated low emissions as disadvantageous.

Es stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, einen mechanisch steuerbaren Ventiltrieb zu schaffen, der die oben genannten Nachteile vermeidet.It is therefore the object to provide a mechanically controllable valve train, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass ein Federorgan (42) vorgesehen ist, das auf den Kipphebel (18) angreift, wobei zwischen dem Kipphebel (18) und der Rolle (12) der Schwenkhebelanordnung (6) ein Ventilspiel (22) vorgesehen ist, wobei die Arbeitskurve (28) zwei Kurvenbereiche aufweist, die ein Ventilspiel (22) gewährleisten, wobei ein Kurvenbereich einem kalten Betriebszustand und ein Kurvenbereich einem erwärmten Zustand einer Brennkraftmaschine zuzuordnen ist. Durch einen derartigen Ventiltrieb ist es möglich, eine optimale Verbrennung bei unterschiedlichsten Betriebszuständen dadurch zu gewährleisten, dass der Ventiltrieb in bestimmten Abständen, beispielsweise Wartungsintervallen immer wieder neu justiert werden kann. Desweiteren wird der Verschleiß der Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung dadurch minimiert, dass im Grundkreiskontakt des Nockens der Nockenwelle keine Reibung mehr vorliegt. Hierbei weist die Arbeitskurve zwei unterschiedliche Kurvenbereiche, wie zum Beispiel für Vollhub, Teilhub, Leerlauf und natürlich für das Ventilspiel auf.This object is achieved in that a spring member (42) is provided which acts on the rocker arm (18), wherein between the rocker arm (18) and the roller (12) of the pivot lever assembly (6) a valve lash (22) is provided, wherein the working curve (28) has two curve areas, which ensure a valve clearance (22), wherein a curve region is assigned to a cold operating state and a curved region to a heated state of an internal combustion engine. By means of such a valvetrain, it is possible to ensure optimal combustion in the most diverse operating states by virtue of the fact that the valve drive can be readjusted again and again at specific intervals, for example maintenance intervals. Furthermore, the wear of the Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung is minimized by the fact that there is no more friction in the base circle contact of the cam of the camshaft. Here, the working curve has two different curve areas, such as for full stroke, partial lift, idle and of course for the valve clearance.

B. bei Motorrädern eingesetzt werden kann und der damit auch für höchste spezifische Zylinderleistungen mit hohen Ventilbeschleunigungen ausgelegt ist, ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Lagermittel aus einem auf einer Schwenkachse angeordneten Schwenklager bestehen.

Auch können die Einstellmittel für das Ventilspiel im Schwenklager vorgesehen sein, wobei die Einstellung alleinig hierdurch oder zusätzlich zu den eingesetzten Einstellscheiben vorgenommen werden kann. Um einem extremen Verschleiß, beispielsweise des Ventilsitzes, Rechnung zu tragen und auch die Möglichkeit vorzusehen, den Eingriff des Kipphebels mit der Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung in Wartungsintervallen nachzujustieren, kann es darüber hinaus vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Einstellmittel in der Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung vorgesehen sind.The adjusting means may advantageously be provided between the gas exchange valve and the end face. For this purpose, the adjusting means can be designed as a thick stepped shims, with which an extremely precise adjustment of the valve stem is made possible.

In order to take account of extreme wear, for example of the valve seat, and also to provide the possibility of readjusting the engagement of the rocker arm with the valve lift adjusting device during maintenance intervals, it may also be advantageous if the adjusting means are provided in the valve lift adjustment device.
In vorteilhafter Weise besteht die Schwenkhebelanordnung aus einem Schwenkhebel und einer darin drehbar gelagerten Rolle, wobei die Rolle in Wirkverbindung mit der Arbeitskurve des Kipphebels steht. Dabei kann als Einstellmittel die Schwenkhebelanordnung vorgesehen sein. In diesem Fall kann über eine einfache Klassifizierung von einzelnen Schwenkhebelanordnungen eine Spieleinstellung erfolgen.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform einer Ventiltriebanordnung wird dadurch geschaffen, dass die Kipphebel benachbarter Ventiltriebe Führungsrollen aufweisen, die den Kipphebel in einer Kulissenanordnung führen und wobei die Führungsrollen von zwei benachbarten Kipphebeln über eine Steckachse miteinander verbunden sind, wobei zwischen den Führungsrollen eine Rolle angeordnet ist, auf die die Nockenwelle angreift.A particularly advantageous embodiment of a valve train assembly is provided in that the rocker arms of adjacent valve trains have guide rollers which guide the rocker arm in a link arrangement and wherein the guide rollers are connected by two adjacent rocker arms via a plug-in axis, wherein between the guide rollers a roller is arranged on which attacks the camshaft.

Das Gaswechselventil 4 ist beispielhaft gezeigt für mehrere, gleichartige Einlassventile eines Zylinders der Brennkraftmaschine. Auf den dargestellten Ventilschaft des Gaswechselventils 4 greift auf bekannte Weise eine Schwenkhebelanordnung 6 mit einer Stirnfläche 9 an, so dass das Gaswechselventil 4 in Abhängigkeit von einer Nockenwelle 10 geöffnet oder geschlossen wird. Die Schwenkhebelanordnung 6 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Schwenkhebel 8 und einer darin drehbar gelagerten Rolle 12. Der Schwenkhebel 8 ist darüber hinaus über ein Schwenklager 14 auf einer Schwenkachse 16 gelagert.In the figure, a mechanically
Die Rolle 12 und damit die Schwenkhebelanordnung 6 steht auf bekannte Weise in Wirkverbindung mit einem Kipphebel 18 und einer Ventilhubverstelleinrichtung 20. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich der Kipphebel 18 in einer Ausgangsposition, die durch das geschlossene Gaswechselventil 4 (das heißt Ventilhub = 0) festgelegt ist. In dieser Ausgangsposition liegt ein vordefiniertes Spiel 22, zwischen der Rolle 12 der Schwenkhebelanordnung 8 und dem Kipphebel 18 vor.The
Der Kipphebel 18 ist im Wesentlichen L-förmig ausgebildet, wobei der Kipphebel 18 einen Führungsschenkel 24, sowie einen Arbeitskurvenschenkel 26 mit einer zur Schwenkhebelanordnung 8 gerichteten Arbeitskurve 28 aufweist.

Eine Ventilhubverstellung wird durch den Einsatz eines Verstellorgans 36 über ein Exzenterorgan 38, der auf eine weitere Rolle 40 des Kipphebels 18 angreift.
