A method for checking the plausibility of an actuation position of a clutch of a double-clutch transmission operated by an actuator, including the following steps: disengaging the clutch assigned to the currently active old subtransmission and simultaneously engaging the clutch assigned to the other subtransmission to shift from the gear selected in the old subtransmission to a gear selected in the other, new subtransmission; deselecting the gear selected in the old subtransmission still during the overlapping operation of the clutches or immediately thereafter; detecting the difference between the speed of rotation of a drive shaft of the double-clutch transmission driven by a drive motor and the speed of rotation of the input shaft of the old subtransmission; and evaluating the state of the clutch assigned to the old subtransmission as disengaged when the difference in speeds of rotation exceeds a predetermined value within a predetermined time after deselection of the gear.

Method for checking the plausibility of the position of the clutch actuator of a clutch, method for determining the touch point of a clutch, and device for carrying out the method

In a method for setting the rotary angle position of the camshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine relative to the crankshaft, the crankshaft is connected to the camshaft by means of a triple-shaft gear mechanism. This triple-shaft gear mechanism has a drive shaft which is fixed to the crankshaft, an output shaft which is fixed to the camshaft, and an adjusting shaft which is driven by an electric motor.

Process for adjusting the angular position of the camshaft of a reciprocating internal combustion engine relative to the crankshaft

A method for adjusting the rotational angle position of the camshaft () of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine relative to the crankshaft () is provided. The crankshaft () is drivingly connected to the camshaft () via an adjusting drive (), which is embodied as a triple-shaft gear mechanism, having a crankshaft-fixed drive shaft, a camshaft-fixed output shaft, and an adjustment shaft drivingly connected to an electric motor (). A stop element is connected to the drive shaft and a counter-stop element is connected to the camshaft (). The crankshaft rotational angle measuring signal and a position signal for the rotational angle of the adjusting shaft are detected during the starting step of the internal combustion engine. A phase angle signal for the position of the rotational angle of the camshaft (), based on the initial position, in relation to the camshaft () is determined with the aid of the angle measuring signal, the position measuring signal and a gear variable of the triple shaft gear. After immobilization of the crankshaft () and the camshaft () in a reference position in relation to each other and after detection of the reference position, the phase angle in relation to the reference position is measured and is controlled to a target value signal.

A device for adjusting the position of the angle of rotation of the camshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine relative to the crankshaft in a motor vehicle is provided, which includes an adjusting gear mechanism in the form of a triple shaft gear mechanism having a drive shaft fixed to the crankshaft, an output shaft fixed to the camshaft and an adjustment shaft which is drivingly connected to an electric motor which can be positioned using an electric control device. The ignition of the internal combustion engine is connected to the motor vehicle battery via an ignition switch. The motor vehicle also includes at least one device which can be adjusted by a user of the vehicle. A monitoring circuit provided with at least one sensor for detecting a change of state of the at least one device. The monitoring circuit is connected to the control device when the latter is switched off, such that the control device is switched on when a change in state is detected.

In a method for setting the rotary-angle position of the camshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine relative to the crankshaft, in which the crankshaft has a drive connection to the camshaft via an adjusting gear which is embodied as a triple shaft gear with a drive shaft which is fixed to the crankshaft, an output shaft which is fixed to the camshaft and an adjusting shaft, a phase angle signal for the rotary-angle position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft is registered. Travel up to a stop is carried out, during which a stop element which is connected to the drive shaft is moved towards a counterstop element which is connected to the camshaft.

Method for adjusting the position of the angle of rotation of the camshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine in relation to the crankshaft

An adjusting device for the rotational position of the camshaft of a reciprocating piston engine relative to the crankshaft has a variator which is designed as a three-shaft transmission having a fixed-to-the-crankshaft input shaft, a fixed-to-the-camshaft output shaft, and an adjusting shaft. The adjusting shaft is coupled nonrotatably to the rotor of a servomotor. To limit the torsional angle between the camshaft and the crankshaft, the adjusting device has limit stops. The servomotor is connected to a control circuit which is designed for controlling the phase velocity of the torsional angle.

Adjusting device for a camshaft

In a method for adjusting the rotation angle position of the camshaft of a reciprocating-piston engine in relation to the crankshaft in which the crankshaft is in drive connection with the camshaft via an actuating gear, which is designed as a three-shaft gear having a drive shaft in a fixed mounting on the crankshaft, an output shaft in a fixed mounting on the camshaft and an actuating shaft which is in drive connection with an actuating motor, a measured value for the crankshaft rotation angle is determined for at least one crankshaft measurement point in time. For at least two actuating shaft measurement points in time, a measured value for the actuating shaft rotation angle is determined digitally. For at least one reference point in time which is after the crankshaft measurement point in time and the actuating shaft measurement point in time, an estimate for the rotation angle of the actuating shaft at the reference point in time is extrapolated from at least two actuating shaft rotation angle measured values, the time difference between the actuating shaft measurement points in time and the time interval between the latest actuating shaft measurement point in time and the reference point in time. A value for the rotation angle position is determined on the basis of the estimate, the at least one crankshaft rotation angle measured value and the transmission characteristic.
