In an adjustment device for adjusting the phase position of a camshaft relative to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine which includes a hydraulic system for supplying hydraulic fluid under pressure to the adjustment device for the controlled admission to, and release thereof from, operating chambers of the adjustment device under the control of a control device including a control valve, the operating chambers are in communication with one another via control valves to permit flow of hydraulic fluid from one set of operating chambers to another by the varying torques effective on the camshaft or by controlling fluid supply to the operating chambers from the hydraulic fluid supply system.

Camshaft adjustment device

In an adjusting device, in particular for a motor vehicle, which includes at least one adjusting unit for adjusting the pressure of a pressure medium in accordance with at least one parameter, the adjusting unit includes a first and a second throttle point having different dependences on the parameter in order to obtain a pressure difference dependent on the parameter for controlling the supply of the pressure medium.

Adjusting device, in particular for a motor vehicle

In a hydraulic camshaft adjuster for an internal combustion engine including a hydraulic operating unit for adjusting the angular position of the camshaft relative to a camshaft drive by way of a hydraulic control valve with a valve housing in which a control piston is disposed for controlling the supply of hydraulic fluid to, and its removal from, the hydraulic operating unit and to which hydraulic fluid is supplied from the camshaft by way of a pressure channel which is formed into the valve housing so as to extend along the outer surface thereof and a sleeve tightly surrounds at least the part of the valve housing which includes the channel for tightly covering the channel.

Hydraulic camshaft adjuster for an internal combustion engine

In a camshaft adjuster for an internal combustion engine comprising a blade wheel, which is rotationally connected to a camshaft and which is mounted in a driving part so as to be able to rotate in a limited manner, starting from an inner base circle and extending to an outer peripheral circle, the blade wheel, with its blades, engages inside intermediate spaces formed by radial projections of the driving part. A pressure chamber is formed in the peripheral direction on both sides of a blade and can be supplied with pressure oil via a control valve so that the blade wheel is displaced relative to the driving part about an angle according to the pressure ratios existing inside the pressure chambers. In addition, a locking bolt, which can be hydraulically unlocked and which is subjected to the action of a pressure spring in a locking direction, may lock the blade wheel to the driving part. The locked position is situated between two end positions of the blade wheel. After a startup phase, the bolt is firmly held disengaged by a pressurized system fluid to safely prevent locking of the bolt.
