Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drive device for adjusting a control shaft of a fully variable valve train of an internal combustion engine having an electric motor with a drive shaft and coupled to the electric motor gear, wherein an output member of the transmission is coupled to a control shaft of a fully variable valve train.
- Mechanically controllable, fully variable valve trains are known in various designs from the prior art and serve the reduction of fuel consumption and the reduction of emissions.
- a control shaft is used to change the valve stroke. By changing the valve lift as a function of the load of the internal combustion engine, an increase in efficiency is achieved.
- a fully variable valve train with input and output valves which can be actuated by a facial expressions.
- the facial expressions include a control shaft with cams, which act on the valve train, so that by rotation of the control shaft, the stroke of the valves can be adjusted both in the lifting height and in its phase.
- the rotation of the control shaft via an electronic actuator which is arranged radially to the control shaft and consists of a worm gear, wherein the worm is arranged on the output shaft of the electric motor and acts on a gear which is fixed on the control shaft.
- a disadvantage is the space requirement of the radially mounted actuator including the transmission, since the space is limited radially to the control shaft by other components of the internal combustion engine.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to develop a drive for the control shaft, which reduces the indicated disadvantage of the required space requirement in the radial direction to the control shaft and thus saves the limited space in the control shaft in the radial direction
- the drive shaft of the electric motor and the control shaft is aligned coaxially with each other, so that additional radial space is saved and storage is facilitated.
- the waves are arranged in alignment with each other.
- an eccentric gear is used as the transmission, since these eccentric gear have a compact design and a high reduction ratio. Furthermore, these transmissions have a long service life and a small installation space and high reduction ratios can be realized in a few gear stages.
- the drive shaft of the electric motor is arranged in the axial extension of the control shaft, so that no offset between The drive shaft and the control shaft is created so that space is saved and a direct force transmission exists.
- the ring gear of the transmission is fixed on one end of the control shaft and serves as a driven member.
- the eccentric is fixed to the drive shaft of the electric motor or the eccentric is formed integrally with the drive shaft, whereby components are saved, so that the drive is less expensive.
- the drive shaft of the electric motor is mounted in the control shaft.
- transverse forces are absorbed by the bearings of the control shaft, so that it is possible to dispense with additional bearing points for mounting the drive shaft, whereby the actuator has a shorter axial length.
- the planet gears are mounted on the eccentric, since thus transverse and bending forces are reduced and a longer life is achieved.
- Preferred is the use of an electronically commutated internal rotor motor, which has a low power consumption with low wear.
- FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a drive device according to the invention for rotating a control shaft.
- the drive device has an electric motor 10, which is arranged in a motor housing 12 and is designed as an electronically commutated internal rotor motor.
- the electric motor consists of a stator 14 with windings 16, which are energized to generate a rotational movement of a rotor 18 of the electric motor 10.
- the rotor is mounted on a drive shaft 20 whose end protrudes from the motor housing 12 through an opening 15 in the motor housing 12 into a space 13 which is closed by a valve cover 24 of an internal combustion engine and in which a control shaft 22 of a variable valve train is arranged. In a recess at the end of the control shaft 22 protrudes the end of the drive shaft 20 and is supported there by means of a needle bearing.
- an eccentric 27 is fixed or integrally formed with the drive shaft 20.
- the eccentric 27 carries a needle bearing 28, via which a first planetary gear 32 and a second planetary gear 30 are mounted, which are arranged rotationally fixed to each other.
- the second planetary gear 30 has, in the radially inner region, an annular extension 34 extending axially into an inner opening of the first planetary gear 32, on which the first one Planet wheel 32 is pressed or otherwise secured.
- the first planet gear 32 meshes with a first ring gear 36 which is fixed to an inner wall of the valve cover 24.
- the second planetary gear 30 is coupled to a driven member 38 which is configured as a second ring gear fixedly disposed within an axially extending annular projection of the control shaft 22 extending from a plate-shaped member fixedly disposed on the end of the control shaft 22 is or is integrally formed with this.
- a driven member 38 which is configured as a second ring gear fixedly disposed within an axially extending annular projection of the control shaft 22 extending from a plate-shaped member fixedly disposed on the end of the control shaft 22 is or is integrally formed with this.
- an electronically commutated internal rotor motor can be used, which is arranged parallel to the transmission, whereby no installation space is necessary radially to the valve train and the actuator is arranged completely in the axial direction of extent.
- an at least two-stage planetary gear can be used, wherein a first sun gear is fixed to the drive shaft or made in one piece with this. By a rotationally fixed coupling of the first planetary gear with the second planetary gear, a rotation of the drive shaft is transmitted to the rotatably mounted in the control shaft second ring gear.
