A valve drive of an internal combustion engine is provided, having a camshaft () which includes a carrier shaft () and a cam part (), which is arranged thereon in a rotationally fixed manner and displaceable between two axial positions and which has at least one cam group of directly adjoining cams () having different cam elevations and an axial gate () having two cam tracks () that extend axially along the circumference in opposing directions, and further having an actuating element () that can be coupled to the axial gate for displacing the cam part in the direction of both cam tracks. The cam tracks are arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction of the axial gate ().

Valve drive of an internal combustion engine

A device for hydraulic control of gas exchange valves of a reciprocating internal combustion engine which has slave cylinders in operative connection with one or more gas exchange valves and master actuators in operative connection with at least one cam provided with a basic and cam profile of a camshaft that is rotatably driven by the engine and can be hydraulically connected to the slave cylinders. The device also has a control device controlled by an actuating member, the device controlling the volume of hydraulic liquid fed to the slave cylinders, and at least one feed line, via which low pressure liquid from a pressure source can be fed to the device by means of at least one non-return valve. The actuators have displaceable vanes, a component carrying the vanes, and cells limited by walls. The vanes are in operative connection with the basic and cam profile of the cam.

An arrangement for adjusting the angle of rotation of a camshaft () relative to a crankshaft is provided. The arrangement requires many components, which partially also require different operational conditions. The new arrangement is structured in a modular fashion, so that the components of the arrangement are no longer arranged inside a common housing, but rather are separately constructed according to their function and/or operational conditions, for example, they are used jointly by other control or adjustment devices. It is particularly advantageous that such arrangements can be produced in a reduced size and in a more cost effective manner and can be used for adjusting the valve play of internal combustion engines.

A gearbox with an actuating device for automated shifting and selection of transmission ratios includes a gearbox operating element that is driven by an actuator. The actuator has a drive source with an output element. A swivel movement of the output element causes the gearbox operating element to shift into or out of a transmission ratio or to select one of the shift slots of a shift-gate pattern and to simultaneously apply a force to an energy-storing device. The energy-storing device acts on an intermediate element which acts on the gearbox operating element. At least one retaining element limits the actuation of the intermediate element to a predetermined position.

Gearbox

A gear arrangement has two turntables nested or arranged concentrically in one another, and interconnected with one another via a swashplate. The gear arrangement preferably is used for adjusting the angle of rotation of the camshaft relative to the angle of rotation of the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine to affect the control times of the charge-cycle valves of the engine. The swashplate is connected with the first turntable formed as a camshaft gear via at least one pin, and the swashplate is connected with the camshaft via the second turntable by means of a gear ring.

A control device and method for adjusting the angular velocity ratio (&#x3c9;(t)/&#x3c9;(t)) between a camshaft and a crankshaft is provided. Various control devices and methods for rotating the camshaft relative to the crankshaft provide a drive which may advance and retard the camshaft in comparison to the crankshaft. Previous systems have the disadvantage that either two drives in different directions are necessary for each actuation direction or the drive must have right-handed rotation and left-handed rotation. In the control device and the method according to the invention, the advancing of the camshaft is achieved by a drive in the running direction of the camshaft and the retarding is achieved by a braking device. It has been shown to be especially advantageous if an electric motor in two quadrant mode is used as the drive, which may then also be used as the braking device. Such a control device and method are required for setting the control times in internal combustion engines.

Control device and method for adjusting the angular velocity ratio between a camshaft and a crankshaft

The present invention relates to a control device for adjusting the angle of rotation of a camshaft in relation to the angle of rotation of a crankshaft, by means of a wobble plate mechanism situated between the camshaft and the crankshaft, in which mechanical means for limiting the adjustment of the angle of the angle of rotation are situated between the crankshaft and the camshaft.

Control device for adjusting the angle of rotation of a camshaft

An angle of rotation of a camshaft relative to an angle of rotation of a crankshaft in internal combustion engines is adjusted for influencing the control times of a valve operation sequence. A wobble plate mechanism including a wobble drive realizes the adjustment. The wobble plate mechanism is arranged between camshaft and crankshaft, preferably between camshaft and a camshaft wheel.

Control unit for adjusting the angle of rotation of a camshaft

A cylinder and piston unit, which can be utilized to select the gears of and/or to shift a change-speed transmission in the power train of a motor vehicle, has a housing provided with two internal chambers and internal stops and receiving a reciprocable assembly of three pistons including two interconnected pistons each adjacent a different one of the two chambers and a hollow cylindrical piston which surrounds one of the two interconnected pistons. The chambers can receive a pressurized hydraulic or pneumatic fluid jointly or independently of each other to thus effect movements of the interconnected pistons (with and/or relative to the holow piston) against selected stops and to thus select the positions of the interconnected pistons. Such interconnected pistons can be utilized to select the ratio of the change-speed transmission. The chambers can confine springs which assist or oppose the action of fluid upon the surfaces of the interconnected pistons.

Regulating cylinder and piston unit and method of utilizing the same

An operating device for an automated gear box having a shift gate with a selector slot, three or more shift slots intersecting the selector slot, and an actuator for actuating a gear or shifting shaft in shifting motions. The shifting shaft has a pin or shaft extending through the shift gate. A blocking device with one or more blocking elements moveable generally along the selector slot allows movement of the pin to an adjacent shift slot and shifting within the shift slot by the actuator while blocking further movement of the pin along the selector slot upon engaging a blocking element.
