Definitions
- the invention relates to a drive device for a camshaft according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a drive device is described for example in DE-A 19 63 549.
- a main requirement in the construction of such so-called adjusting camshafts is that little or no additional space is required in the longitudinal direction compared to non-adjustable camshafts, since otherwise the internal combustion engine can be accommodated due to the extremely restricted space in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle with adjustable camshaft (s) is often not possible or only possible if the bodywork is changed costly.
- the space requirement for the camshaft adjustment in the longitudinal direction of the camshaft is already considerably reduced compared to other known solutions (for example DE-C 33 16 162).
- the invention has for its object to provide a camshaft drive device of the generic type, the longitudinal extent of which is only extremely slightly greater than the longitudinal extent of a drive device without a camshaft adjusting device.
- the switching element can be actuated hydraulically by a servomotor, for example in accordance with DE-A 19 63 549, in which part of the switching element forms a hydraulic piston.
- a servomotor adjacent to the end of the camshaft facing away from the drive wheel and to connect the actuator of the servomotor to the shifting element by means of a shift rod passing through the camshaft.
- the servomotor comes with a longitudinally installed internal combustion engine at a point in the engine compartment at which the bonnet rises towards the windshield, so that there is sufficient space for accommodating the servomotor.
- 1 is a partial longitudinal section of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine in a horizontal plane through a camshaft
- Fig. 2 shows a section of the camshaft drive along line 2-2 in Fig. 1, and
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective illustration of the switching element.
- Fig. 1 denotes the cylinder head of a valve-controlled reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, in which a camshaft 3 is mounted via bearing 2, the cams of which actuate intake and / or exhaust valves, not shown, of the internal combustion engine.
- a tubular extension 4 is screwed to the camshaft 3 by screws 4a, on which a drive wheel 5 is mounted, which is driven by the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine.
- the holes 4b in the extension 4, through which the screws 4a extend, are designed as elongated holes in order to enable a basic setting of the camshaft 3 relative to the drive wheel 5.
- a switching element 6 is used, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive wheel via a first pair of teeth 7, 9 and in a rotationally fixed manner to the camshaft extension 4 via a second pair of teeth 8, 11.
- the pairs of teeth 7, 9 and 8, 11 include different angles the longitudinal center axis of the camshaft 3.
- the pair of teeth 7, 9 is designed as a straight toothing and the pair of teeth 8, 11 as a helical toothing.
- the pair of teeth 7, 9 could also be designed as helical teeth and the pair of teeth 8, 11 as straight teeth.
- an axial displacement of the control element 6 causes the camshaft 3 to rotate relative to the drive wheel 5 and thus a change in the valve timing.
- the shift element 6 is axially displaced with the aid of a servomotor 15 arranged at the other end of the camshaft 3, the actuator of which in the exemplary embodiment is a hydraulic piston 16 ′′ , connected to the shift element 6 by means of a shift rod 17 which penetrates a through hole 18 in the camshaft 3 Pressure load on one side of the actuating piston 16 and pressure relief on the other piston surface by means of a control slide 20 actuated, for example, by an electromagnet 19, the switching element 6 is moved from one end position to the other, as is known, the switchover can take place as a function of operating parameters To avoid twisting, the switching rod 17 can be connected to the switching element 6 and to the actuating piston 16 such that they can move in an angular manner.
- the servomotor 15 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the camshaft 3 in the exemplary embodiment. This avoids an axial bearing for the camshaft, which is necessary in a stationary servomotor to absorb the axial actuating forces.
- the pressure medium supply and discharge to the right in FIG. 2 of the actuating piston 16 takes place via the camshaft bearing 2 'and a bore 21 in the camshaft 3 through the hollow shift rod 17 and the hollow screw 22, which connects the actuating piston 16 to the shift rod 17.
- the pressure medium supply and discharge to and from the left side of the actuating piston 16 likewise takes place through the camshaft bearing 2 'and a second bore 23 in the camshaft and an annular space 24 between the shift rod 17 and the wall of the through bore 18.
- a sleeve 25 is pressed into the through bore 18 to seal the two bores 21 and 23 from one another.
- the switching element 6 is arranged in the tubular camshaft extension 4 and on its circumference, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, the external teeth 7 of the first pair of teeth and the external teeth 8 of the second pair of teeth are alternately provided.
- the external toothing 7 is formed by spur toothing extending in the longitudinal direction of the camshaft 3
- the external toothing 8 is formed by helical toothing sectors which are arranged between adjacent spur toothing sectors 7.
- Corresponding internal helical gear segments 11 on the inner circumference of the tubular camshaft extension 4 engage with the helical gear sectors 8.
- This camshaft extension 4 is provided between the segments 11 with openings 10 through which spokes 12 of the drive wheel 5 extend, which engage with the straight toothed ends 9 in the straight toothed sectors 7.
- the spokes 12 are arranged in the openings 10 with so much play in the circumferential direction that the desired angular adjustment of the camshaft 3 relative to the drive wheel 5 is made possible.
- the helical toothing 7 of the switching element 6 has a larger pitch circle diameter than the straight toothing 8. This allows the helical toothing by hobbing produce since there is a lateral outlet for the milling tool.
- Straight teeth can be made by broaching or butting.
- the switching element can also be a sintered body in which at least the straight toothing is completely sintered.
