Abstract:
In a motor vehicle valve train adjustment device comprising at least one camshaft with at least two axially displaceable cam elements wherein at least one cam element has a cam track with a valve lift and a cam track with zero valve lift for a deactivation of at least one cylinder, and at least one other cam element of the at least two axially displaceable cam elements has a cam track with a first valve lift and a cam track with a second valve lift by which a cylinder which remains fueled during a partial cylinder deactivation is adapted to the at least one cylinder deactivation by special valve lift characteristics.
Abstract:
In an internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle, comprising a crankcase and a crankshaft accommodated therein, and a cylinder housing including at least one cylinder with a cylinder head, the cylinder housing with the cylinder head is supported directly on the crankshaft via eccentric elements which are pivotable for adjusting a position of the cylinder housing with the cylinder head relative to the crankshaft with the crankcase (12) for changing the compression ratio of the engine.
Abstract:
In a phase adjustment device for a valve drive mechanism of an internal combustion engine, in particular a camshaft adjustment device, with a phase adjustment unit which, for adjusting a phase position in a normal operating mode, comprises a coupling unit for controlling an adjustment gear element by applying a braking force, and with a failsafe adjustment arrangement for setting a defined fail-safe phase position in a fail-safe operating mode, the adjustment unit includes mechanical means for varying the braking force of the coupling unit of the phase adjustment unit for setting the phase angle to a controllable failsafe phase angle position.
Abstract:

Abstract:
In a valve drive train arrangement for an internal combustion engine having a camshaft with a cam element axially displaceable supported on the camshaft and having a stop for limiting the axial movement of the cam element, the stop has at least one stop element extending radially from the camshaft for engagement with the cam element.
Abstract:
In a valve drive arrangement for an internal combustion engine, with a camshaft including at least one cam element which is axially movable by means of a switching gate structure for adjusting the valve drive, and a sensor unit for determining an axial control position of the cam element, the sensor unit has at least a first sensor element coupled to an axial movement of the cam element whose operation position can be determined by a corresponding sensor element.
Abstract:
In an internal combustion engine valve drive train switching arrangement with a switching unit, the switching unit has at least one actuating unit with at least two switching members and at least one switching device for actuating the two switching members independently in an at least partial chronological offset, so as to perform a first switching process based on a first signal and then a second switching process, independently of an electronic evaluation.
Abstract:
In a camshaft adjusting device comprising an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the phase positions of first and second camshafts with respect to a crankshaft driving the camshaft adjusting device, the adjusting mechanism includes an adjustment input and first and second outputs connected to the first and second camshafts respectively, with first and second transmission ratios, respectively, for changing the phase angles between the drive input and the first and second outputs respectively, at different rates when the adjustment input is actuated.
Abstract:
In a camshaft adjusting device including a positioning actuator for adjusting a phase position of a camshaft with respect to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, wherein the camshaft is driven by the crankshaft via a drive input, and a base drive torque of the camshaft is provided by a positioning actuator, a spring element is arranged between the camshaft and the crankshaft and has a spring torque selected so as to compensate for at least part of a mean load torque of a load unit connected to the camshaft to be driven thereby and at most only a part of the base drive torque.
Abstract:
In an adjusting apparatus, particularly for an internal combustion engine having cylinders arranged in an engine block, with a crankshaft and with pistons movably disposed in the cylinders, the adjusting apparatus includes a pick-up which causes an adjustment of an adjustable device, and an adjusting element which is operatively connected to the pick-up, the adjusting element being arranged movably on an adjusting shaft (9) which can be moved by an actuator translationally with a cone as adjusting element or rotationally with an eccentric (8) as adjusting element.
