Abstract
A four-stroke internal combustion engine including variable compression ratio comprises a crankcase including a crankshaft having a crankpin and being supported by the crankcase and rotatable with respect thereto about a crankshaft axis, a connecting rod including a big end and a small end, a crank member being rotatably mounted on the crankpin, and comprising at least a bearing portion which is eccentrically disposed with respect to the crankpin, a crank member drive system for rotating the crank member at a rotation frequency with respect to the crankcase which is half of that of the crankshaft, and a control system for operating the engine with repetitive cycles, wherein the compression ratio in the compression stroke is changed. The control system is configured to interrupt the repetitive cycles by rotating the crankshaft an additional single revolution between two successive combustion strokes for switching between a high and low compression ratio.
