Abstract
A connecting rod for a variable compression internal combustion engine, the connecting rod an eccentrical element adjustment arrangement for adjusting an effective connecting rod length, the eccentrical element adjustment arrangement including a first cylinder including a first hydraulic chamber and a second cylinder including a second hydraulic chamber, a first inlet for feeding hydraulic fluid into the first cylinder from a supply and a first outlet for draining the hydraulic fluid from the first cylinder, a second inlet for feeding hydraulic fluid into the second cylinder from the supply and a second outlet for draining the hydraulic fluid from the second cylinder, a switch valve for controlling a hydraulic fluid flow, the switch valve including a piston that is movable in a housing, wherein the piston is displaceable into a first switching position or a second switching position, wherein the second outlet of the second cylinder is connected with the supply in the first switching position and the first outlet of the first cylinder is connected with the supply in the second switching position, wherein the first cylinder is associated with a first check valve which facilitates feeding hydraulic fluid into the first cylinder and which prevents draining the hydraulic fluid from the first cylinder, wherein the second cylinder is associated with a second check valve which facilitates feeding hydraulic fluid into the second cylinder and which prevents draining hydraulic fluid from the second cylinder, wherein the first cylinder and the second cylinder are connected so that hydraulic fluid is conductible from the first cylinder into the second cylinder directly with a defined pressure drop in the second switching position.
