- the cover member 43 By moving the first cam member 10 by means of the first switching segment 16, the cover member 43, which is coupled to the first cam member 10, the switching segment 17 of the second cam member 1 1 and the switching segment 18 of the link element 22 is free.
- the shift pin 29 can thereby only on the part of the slide track 14 which is arranged on the first cam member 10, in the parts of the slide track 14, which are arranged on the second cam member 1 1 and the link element 22, engage in the guide track 14.
- the cover unit 42 For partially covering the second slide track 15, the cover unit 42 comprises a second cover element 44.
- the second cover element 44 is executed analogously to the first cover element 43.
- Both cover members 43, 44 are designed in the form of a sleeve which encloses the parts of the shift gate 3 in the corresponding switching position and thus partially covers the slide tracks 14, 15.
- the cover members 43, 44 occupy an angular range of about 240 degrees camshaft angle.
- the Einspursegmente 24, 25 are partially incorporated in the cover 43, 44.
- the switching unit 28 is designed bistable.
- the two switching pins 29, 30 can remain in an unactuated state both in an extended switching position and in a retracted switching position.
- the switching pins 29, 30 have an unstable middle position. If one of the switching pins 29, 30 is in a position between the extended switching position and the middle position, the corresponding switching pin 29, 30 automatically switches to the extended switching position. If one of the switching pins 29, 30 in a position between the retracted switching position and the center position, the corresponding switching pin 29, 30 automatically switches to the retracted switching position.
- the switching unit 28 comprises an electric actuator unit, by means of which a force for extension can be exerted on the switching pins 29, 30.
- the switching pins 29, 30 are independently extendable.
- the actuator unit is provided only for extending the switching pins 29, 30.
- the shift gate 13 is provided for retracting the switching pins 29, 30, the shift gate 13 is provided.
- the Ausspuren the switching pins 29, 30 from the corresponding slide track 14, 15 are the Switching pins 29, 30 moved over the unstable center position and drive independently.
- the Ausspursegmente 26, 27 of the slide tracks 14, 15 are provided.
- the internal combustion engine valve drive device has a latching unit 45.
- the cam elements 10, 1 1, 12 each have two locking positions.
- the latching unit 45 comprises a plurality of latching recesses 46, 47, 48, which are attached to the inner sides of the cam elements 10, 1 1, 12 are mounted.
- the latching unit 45 comprises a plurality of pressure pieces 49, 50, 51, which are fixedly connected to the drive shaft 35. By means of the pressure pieces 49, 50, 51, the cam elements 10, 1 1, 12 are locked relative to the drive shaft 35.
- An order in which the switching pins 29, 30 come into engagement with the cam elements 10, 1 1 and the link element 22 when passing through the corresponding slide track 14, 15 can basically be configured as desired.
- the link element 22 has a Einspursegment, wherein subsequent to the link element 22, the cam member 11 is arranged and the cam member 10 has a Ausspursegment.
