| 20130199472 | MECHANICALLY CONTROLLABLE VALVE OPERATING MECHANISM, AND MECHANICALLY CONTROLLABLE VALVE OPERATING MECHANISM ARRANGEMENT - A mechanically controllable valve operating mechanism includes a cylinder head, a camshaft, a transmission arrangement mounted to move in the cylinder head via a bearing device. A gas exchange valve has the transmission arrangement act thereon. A valve-lift adjusting device comprises a rotatable adjusting element with an eccentric element having two base points and a peak contour, and at least one further eccentric element. The valve-lift adjusting device acts on the transmission arrangement so that different valve-lift positions are settable. The transmission arrangement is connected to the valve-lift adjusting device and to the camshaft. The at least one further eccentric element of the rotating adjusting element is arranged so that at least two peak contours are provided so that, depending on a rotational angle α of the rotating adjusting element, the eccentric element or the at least one further eccentric element engage with the transmission arrangement. | 08-08-2013 |
| 20130220251 | MECHANICALLY CONTROLLABLE VALVE DRIVE - A mechanically controllable valve drive includes a cylinder head, a valve lift adjustment device comprising a rocker arm, a pivoted lever assembly comprising an end surface, an engagement element, and a bearing means. The pivoted lever assembly is mounted in the cylinder head via the bearing means so as to be movable. A gas exchange valve is configured to have the pivoted lever assembly act thereon via the end surface. A positioning device is configured to engage on the rocker arm. A valve clearance is arranged between the rocker arm and the engagement element. At least one adjustment device is configured to provide a valve clearance adjustment. The engagement element of the pivoted lever assembly is operatively connected to the rocker arm of the valve lift adjustment device via a work curve. | 08-29-2013 |
| 20130306010 | MECHANICALLY CONTROLLABLE VALVE-TRAIN ASSEMBLY - A mechanically controllable valve-train assembly includes a plurality of gas exchange valves, at least two cylinders assigned to each of the gas exchange valves, and valve-lift adjusting devices which each comprise a rotatable eccentric shaft. The eccentric shaft comprises at least one cam element and circumferential control surfaces which comprise at least one eccentric member. The eccentric shaft is driven by a drive device to set various valve-lift positions. A transmission assembly assigned to each of the gas exchange valves is mounted in a cylinder head via a bearing device so as to be movable and is operatively connected to one of the valve-lift adjusting devices and to a camshaft. The at least one cam element is operatively connected to a spring-loaded tappet element and is arranged outside the circumferential control surfaces and at a level of a zero-lift position of the circumferential control surfaces. | 11-21-2013 |
| 20140096730 | MECHANICALLY CONTROLLABLE VALVE DRIVE FOR A RECIPROCATING PISTON ENGINE - A mechanically controllable valve drive for a reciprocating piston engine configured to adjust a gas exchange valve includes the gas exchange valve, a cam assembly comprising a camshaft and at least one cam for the gas exchange valve, a valve, a valve lift adjustment assembly, a drag lift assembly, and a device. The valve lift adjustment assembly comprises a valve lift adjustment device, and an intermediate lever assembly comprising at least one intermediate lever comprising a working curve comprising curve portions. The valve lift adjustment assembly is configured to shift the valve between a zero lift and a maximum lift. The drag lever assembly is operatively connected to the working curve. The device is configured to provide a valve-lift standstill range so that, in a maximum lift position, the valve is opened for a turning angle ω of the camshaft with a flattened valve lift height | 04-10-2014 |
| 20140338622 | VALVE LIFT ADJUSTMENT ARRANGEMENT FOR A MECHANICALLY CONTROLLABLE VALVE DRIVE ARRANGEMENT, AND METHOD FOR ALIGNING AN INTERMEDIATE LEVER ARRANGEMENT - A valve lift adjustment arrangement for a mechanically-controllable valve drive arrangement includes a bearing shaft, a first roller, a second roller arranged on the bearing shaft, a camshaft arrangement, a valve lift adjustment device comprising a rotatable eccentric shaft, an intermediate lever arrangement, and a device. The intermediate lever arrangement comprises an intermediate lever with a working curve. The intermediate lever is mounted via the first roller to be movable in a slotted-guide track and to be operatively connected to the camshaft arrangement and to the valve lift adjustment device. The device is configured so that the second roller is eccentrically mounted. The device comprises a tool engagement point which aligns the second roller and thereby the intermediate lever arrangement. The camshaft arrangement acts, via the first roller, on the intermediate lever arrangement. The rotatable eccentric shaft is acts, via the second roller, on the intermediate lever arrangement. | 11-20-2014 |
