Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zum Steuern des Auslassventils einer Hubkolbenbrennkraftmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for controlling the exhaust valve of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Einrichtung mit diesen Merkmalen, die auch für das Steuern von Einlassventilen bestimmt ist, ist aus der FR-A-2 436 255 bekannt. Der das Einlass- und/oder das Auslassventil öffnende Druck des Druckmittels und damit der Oeffnungs- und der Schliesszeitpunkt des Ventils sind von der Form des den Hubgeber antreibenden Nockens auf der Nockenwelle abhängig. Bei der bekannten Einrichtung ist die die Druckmittelsäule enthaltende Leitung als auf dem Kopf stehenendes U ausgebildet und der Ablasskanal ist an der höchsten Stelle des U angeschlossen. Im Betrieb der Einrichtung wird während der ganzen Zeit, während der der Hubgeber von dem Nocken bewegt wird, Druckmittel über die geöffnete Drosselstelle abgelassen, wodurch ein von der Nockenform abweichender Verlauf der Ventilbewegung erreicht wird. Durch Verstellen der Drosselstelle auf einen grösseren Querschnitt wird dieser Verlauf flacher, wobei zugleich sowohl der Oeffnungszeitpunkt als auch der Schliesszeitpunkt verschoben werden, und zwar indem die Zeitdauer zwischen dem Oeffnen und dem Schliessen kürzer wird. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass eine solche Verkürzung für das Steuern eines Auslassventils ungünstig ist, weil sich der Kompressionsdruck und damit der Zünddruck im Arbeitszylinder so ändern, dass der Brennstoffverbrauch der Brennkraftmaschine verschlechtert wird.A device with these features, which is also intended for controlling intake valves, is known from FR-A-2 436 255. The pressure of the pressure medium which opens the inlet and / or the outlet valve and thus the time at which the valve opens and closes are dependent on the shape of the cam driving the stroke transmitter on the camshaft. In the known device, the line containing the pressure medium column is designed as an upside-down U and the drain channel is connected at the highest point of the U. During operation of the device, pressure medium is released via the open throttle point during the entire time that the cam is being moved by the cam, as a result of which the course of the valve movement deviates from the cam shape. By adjusting the throttling point to a larger cross-section, this course becomes flatter, with both the opening time and the closing time being shifted at the same time, namely by shortening the time between opening and closing. It has been shown that such a shortening for the control of an exhaust valve is unfavorable because the compression pressure and thus the ignition pressure in the Change the cylinder so that the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine deteriorates.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steuereinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass auf konstruktiv einfache Weise der Schliesszeitpunkt des Auslassventils variiert werden kann, und zwar gegenüber dem durch die Nockenform bestimmten Schliesszeitpunkt vorverlegt werden kann, ohne dass zugleich der Oeffnungszeitpunkt verändert wird.The invention has for its object to improve a control device of the type mentioned in such a way that the closing time of the exhaust valve can be varied in a structurally simple manner, and that it can be brought forward compared to the closing time determined by the cam shape, without the opening time being changed at the same time .

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Durch das vom Steuerkolben gesteuerte Ablassen von Druckmittel über den Ablasskanal bleiben einerseits der Oeffnungszeitpunkt des Auslassventils stets gleich und die Oeffnungsgeschwindigkeit der Nockenform entsprechend gross, andererseits erreicht das Auslassventil früher als durch die Nockenform bestimmt den Schliesszeitpunkt. Dies bewirkt eine Aenderung des Kompressionsdruckes und damit auch des Zünddruckes, der nunmehr im oberen Teillastbereich konstant gehalten werden kann. Durch diese Möglichkeit gelingt es auch, bei diesem Teillastbetrieb der Brennkraftmaschine den Brennstoffverbrauch zu verbessern. Ein Verstellen des Drosselquerschnitts im Ablasskanal erfolgt lastabhängig.Due to the discharge of pressure medium controlled by the control piston via the discharge channel, on the one hand the opening time of the exhaust valve always remains the same and the opening speed of the cam shape correspondingly high, on the other hand the exhaust valve reaches the closing time earlier than determined by the cam shape. This causes a change in the compression pressure and thus also the ignition pressure, which can now be kept constant in the upper part of the load range. This possibility also makes it possible to improve the fuel consumption in this part-load operation of the internal combustion engine. The throttle cross-section in the discharge duct is adjusted depending on the load.

Gemäss Fig.1 ist in einem Arbeitszylinder 1 einer 2-Takt-Dieselbrennkraftmaschine ein Arbeitskolben 2 auf- und abbeweglich angeordnet. Der Arbeitskolben 2 ist über eine nicht dargestellte Kolbenstange mit einem Kreuzkopf verbunden, der in bekannter Weise über eine Schubstange am Kurbelzapfen einer Kurbelwelle angelenkt ist. Am oberen Ende des Arbeitszylinders 1 befindet sich ein Zylinderkopf 3, der einen Brennraum 7 begrenzt. Im Zentrum des Zylinderkopfes 3 ist ein Gehäuseteil 4 eingesetzt, der in seinem unteren Abschnitt einen Auspuffkanal 8 enthält. Am Eintritt des Auspuffkanals ist eine Sitzfläche 5 ausgebildet, die mit einem Auslassventil 9 zusammenwirkt. In der Wand des Arbeitszylinders 1 befinden sich mehrere Spülluftschlitze 10, von denen in Fig.1 nur einer dargestellt ist. Auf der Aussenseite des Arbeitszylinders 1 stehen die Spülluftschlitze mit einer Spülluftkammer 11 in Verbindung, aus der Spülluft über die Spülluftschlitze 10 in den Brennraum 7 eintritt, wenn der Arbeitskolben 2 mit seiner oberen Begrenzungskante beim Abwärtshub die Spülluftschlitze 10 freigegeben hat. Die dann eintretende Spülluft stösst die Verbrennungsgase über das geöffnete Auslassventil 9 in den Auspuffkanal 8, woraufhin beim Aufwärtshub und bei geschlossenem Auslassventil 9 ein Verdichten der Luft stattfindet, wenn der Arbeitskolben 2 mit seiner Oberkante die Spülluftschlitze 10 passiert hat. Im Zylinderkopf 3 ist in bekannter Weise mindestens eine Brennstoffeinspritzdüse angeordnet, die im Bereich des oberen Totpunktes des Arbeitskolbens 2 Dieselöl in die verdichtete Luft im Brennraum 7 einspritzt.According to Figure 1, a working piston 2 is arranged in a working cylinder 1 of a 2-stroke diesel internal combustion engine up and down. The working piston 2 is connected via a piston rod, not shown, to a crosshead, which is articulated in a known manner on the crank pin of a crankshaft via a push rod. At the upper end of the working cylinder 1 there is a cylinder head 3 which delimits a combustion chamber 7. In the center of the cylinder head 3, a housing part 4 is inserted, which contains an exhaust duct 8 in its lower section. At the inlet of the exhaust duct, a seat surface 5 is formed which interacts with an exhaust valve 9. In the wall of the working cylinder 1 there are several purge air slots 10, only one of which is shown in FIG. On the outside of the working cylinder 1, the scavenging air slots are connected to a scavenging air chamber 11, from which scavenging air enters the combustion chamber 7 via the scavenging air slots 10 when the working piston 2 with its upper boundary edge has cleared the scavenging air slots 10 during the downward stroke. The then entering purge air pushes the combustion gases into the exhaust duct 8 via the open exhaust valve 9, whereupon the air compresses during the upward stroke and with the exhaust valve 9 closed when the upper edge of the working piston 2 has passed the purge air slots 10. In the cylinder head 3, at least one fuel injector is arranged in a known manner, which in the region of the top dead center of the Working piston 2 injected diesel oil into the compressed air in combustion chamber 7.

An dem dem Brennraum 7 abgewendeten Ende des Auslassventils 9 ist ein Servokolben 12 angeordnet, der in einem Zylinder 13 des Gehäuseteils 4 geführt ist. An dem in Fig.1 unterhalb des Servokolbens 12 befindlichen Zylinderraum ist eine Druckluftleitung 15 angeschlossen, die eine Drossel 14 enthält. Die auf diese Weise im Zylinderraum unterhalb des Servokolbens 12 eingeschlossene Luft bildet eine Luftfeder, die auf das Auslassventil 9 in schliessendem Sinne wirkt.At the end of the exhaust valve 9 facing away from the combustion chamber 7, a servo piston 12 is arranged, which is guided in a cylinder 13 of the housing part 4. A compressed air line 15, which contains a throttle 14, is connected to the cylinder space located in FIG. 1 below the servo piston 12. The air enclosed in this way in the cylinder space below the servo piston 12 forms an air spring which acts on the exhaust valve 9 in a closing sense.

Der Servokolben 12 ragt mit seinem in Fig.1 oberen Ende in einen Zylinderraum 19, an den eine Leitung 20 angeschlossen ist, die in einen Zylinderraum 63 einer Steuervorrichtung 68 mündet, die getrennt von der Brennkraftmaschine angeordnet ist. Der Zylinderraum 19, die Leitung 20 und der Zylinderraum 63 sind mit einem hydraulischen Druckmittel, z.B. Oel, gefüllt. Im Zylinderraum 63 ist ein Steuerkolben 62 geführt, der sich am oberen Ende eines Hubgebers 61 abstützt. Der Hubgeber 61 ist an seinem in Fig.1 unteren Ende mit einer Rolle 22 versehen, die sich auf einem Nocken 23' einer Nockenwelle 23 abstützt. Die Leitung 20 wird mittels einer Pumpe 24 mit dem hydraulischen Druckmittel gefüllt, das aus einem Tank 25 angesaugt und über eine Leitung 26 mit Rückschlagventil 27 mit einem Druck zwischen beispielsweise 8 und 16 bar in die Leitung 20 gefördert wird. Zwischen der Pumpe 24 und dem Rückschlagventil 27 zweigt von der Leitung 26 ein Kanal 65 ab, der in den Zylinderraum 63 mündet, und zwar auf der Höhe der in Fig.1 oberen Stirnfläche des Steuerkolbens 62, der in der gezeichneten Lage seine tiefste Stellung innehat. Auf der Förderseite der Pumpe 24 ist auch in bekannter Weise ein Ueberdruckventil 24' angeordnet. Am Zylinderraum 19 ist eine zum Tank 25 führende Entlüftungsleitung 54 mit einer Drosselstelle angeschlossen. Das in Fig.1 obere Ende des Zylinderraumes 19 ist so gestaltet, dass der Servokolben 12 hydraulisch gedämpft wird, kurz bevor er seine obere Endstellung erreicht. Damit wird ein hartes Aufschlagen des Auslassventils 9 auf die Sitzfläche 5 vermieden. Zum Abdichten des Zylinderraums 63 ist der Steuerkolben 62 mit drei über dessen Länge verteilt angeordneten Kolbenringen 64 versehen.The servo piston 12 protrudes with its upper end in FIG. 1 into a cylinder space 19, to which a line 20 is connected, which opens into a cylinder space 63 of a control device 68, which is arranged separately from the internal combustion engine. The cylinder chamber 19, the line 20 and the cylinder chamber 63 are filled with a hydraulic pressure medium, for example oil. A control piston 62 is guided in the cylinder space 63 and is supported on the upper end of a stroke transmitter 61. The stroke transmitter 61 is provided at its lower end in FIG. 1 with a roller 22 which is supported on a cam 23 'of a camshaft 23. The line 20 is filled by means of a pump 24 with the hydraulic pressure medium, which is sucked in from a tank 25 and is conveyed into the line 20 via a line 26 with a check valve 27 with a pressure between, for example, 8 and 16 bar. Between the pump 24 and the check valve 27, a conduit 65 branches off from the line 26 and opens into the cylinder space 63, at the level of the upper end face of the control piston 62 in FIG. 1, which is in its lowest position in the position shown . An overpressure valve 24 'is also arranged in a known manner on the delivery side of the pump 24. At the cylinder chamber 19 is a vent line 54 leading to the tank 25 is connected to a throttle point. The upper end of the cylinder chamber 19 in FIG. 1 is designed such that the servo piston 12 is damped hydraulically shortly before it reaches its upper end position. This prevents the outlet valve 9 from hitting the seat 5 hard. To seal the cylinder chamber 63, the control piston 62 is provided with three piston rings 64 arranged distributed over its length.

In Fig.1 unterhalb der Mündung des Kanals 65 in den Zylinderraum 63 zweigt von diesem ein Ablasskanal 66 ab, der über eine Schulter 67' zu einem Raum 67 führt, in den ein beweglich geführter Drosselstift 69 ragt. An den Raum 67 ist eine Leitung 34 angeschlossen, die zum Tank 25 führt. Von der in Fig.1 oberen Stirnfläche des Steuerkolbens 62 geht ein axialer Kanal 70 aus, der mit seinem unteren Ende in eine Ringnut 71 mündet, die in der unteren Hälfte des Steuerkolbens 62 angeordnet ist. Die Ringnut 71 ist am Steuerkolben 62 so angeordnet, dass sie in der obersten Stellung des Steuerkolbens vor der Mündung des Ablasskanals 66 steht, wobei der Steuerkolben 62 mit seiner oberhalb der Ringnut 71 befindlichen Mantelfläche die Mündung des Kanals 65 absperrt. Dem Ablasskanal 66 gibt man zweckmässig einen der drei in Fig.1a gezeigten Querschnitte, wobei der dreieckähnliche Querschnitt rechts aussen der beste ist, um eine Vakuumbildung im Zylinderraum 63 zu vermeiden, wenn sich der Steuerkolben 62 abwärtsbewegt.In FIG. 1, below the mouth of the channel 65 into the cylinder space 63, an outlet channel 66 branches off from the latter, which leads via a shoulder 67 'to a space 67 into which a movably guided throttle pin 69 projects. A line 34 is connected to the space 67 and leads to the tank 25. An axial channel 70 extends from the upper end face of the control piston 62 in FIG. 1 and opens with its lower end into an annular groove 71 which is arranged in the lower half of the control piston 62. The annular groove 71 is arranged on the control piston 62 so that it is in the uppermost position of the control piston in front of the mouth of the discharge channel 66, the control piston 62 shutting off the mouth of the channel 65 with its outer surface located above the annular groove 71. The discharge channel 66 is expediently given one of the three cross sections shown in FIG. 1a, the triangular-like cross section on the outside on the right being the best in order to avoid vacuum formation in the cylinder space 63 when the control piston 62 moves downward.

Die Stellung des Drosselstiftes 69 relativ zur Schulter 67' ist von einem Regler 78 abhängig, dem über die Signalleitung 58 ein dem Spüldruck entsprechendes elektrisches Signal und über eine Signalleitung 59 ein dem Sollwert des Schliesszeitpunktes des Auslassventils 9 entsprechendes elektrisches Signal zugeführt wird. Das dem Spüldruck entsprechende Signal ist für die Last der Brennkraftmaschine repräsentativ. Ausgangsseitig ist der Regler 78 über zwei Druckmittelleitungen 72 und 73 mit einem Stellzylinder 74 verbunden, in dem ein Stellkolben 75 beweglich geführt ist. Der Kolben 75 ist gelenkig mit einem Hebel 76 einer Exzenterwelle 77 verbunden, auf deren Exzenter 79 sich ein Schwenkhebel 80 abstützt. Zwischen diesem Abstützpunkt und dem Gelenkpunkt 81 des Schwenkhebels 80 liegt das in Fig.1 untere Ende des Drosselstiftes 69 auf. Abhängig vom Spüldrucksignal in der Signalleitung 58 verstellt also der Regler 78 über den Stellkolben 75 den Exzenter 79, wodurch der Schwenkhebel 80 um den Gelenkpunkt 81 verstellt wird, was eine Verschiebung des Drosselstiftes 69 und damit der Drosselwirkung zur Folge hat.The position of the throttle pin 69 relative to the shoulder 67 'is dependent on a controller 78, to which an electrical signal corresponding to the flushing pressure is supplied via the signal line 58 and an electrical signal corresponding to the setpoint of the closing time of the exhaust valve 9 via a signal line 59. The one corresponding to the flushing pressure Signal is representative of the engine load. On the output side, the controller 78 is connected via two pressure medium lines 72 and 73 to an actuating cylinder 74, in which an actuating piston 75 is movably guided. The piston 75 is articulated to a lever 76 of an eccentric shaft 77, on the eccentric 79 of which a pivot lever 80 is supported. The lower end of the throttle pin 69 in FIG. 1 lies between this support point and the articulation point 81 of the pivoting lever 80. Depending on the flushing pressure signal in the signal line 58, the controller 78 adjusts the eccentric 79 via the actuating piston 75, as a result of which the pivoting lever 80 is adjusted about the articulation point 81, which results in a displacement of the throttle pin 69 and thus the throttling effect.

Mit der Exzenterwelle 77 steht auch eine schwenkbare Kurvenscheibe 82 in Wirkungsverbindung, die ihrerseits mit einem Brennstoffreguliergestänge 83 zusammenwirkt. Die Kurvenscheibe 82 wirkt als Lastbegrenzung für die Brennkraftmaschine.A pivotable cam 82 is also operatively connected to the eccentric shaft 77 and in turn interacts with a fuel regulating linkage 83. The cam disk 82 acts as a load limitation for the internal combustion engine.

In Fig.2 sind über der Zeitachse B der Hubverlauf des Steuerkolbens 62 und über der identischen Zeitachse C zwei Hubverläufe des Auslassventils 9 aufgetragen, und zwar mit der ausgezogenen Linie D der Hubverlauf bei Anwendung der Erfindung und mit der gestrichelten Linie E der Hubverlauf ohne Anwendung der Erfindung. Der Punkt F auf der Achse B liegt bei etwa 100° Kurbelwinkel vor UT und im Punkt R (etwa 80° vor UT) auf der Achse C beginnt das Oeffnen des Auslassventils 9, da die Rolle 22 auf den Nocken 23' aufläuft. Zwischen den Punkten H (etwa 45° vor UT) und L der Achse B gelangt die Ringnut 71 am Steuerkolben 62 vor den Ablasskanal 66 und verbleibt dann davor, bis sie zwischen den Punkten K und M die Mündung des Ablasskanals wieder verlässt. Im Punkt H auf der Achse C beginnt also das Ablassen von Druckmittel über den Ablasskanal 66, wodurch das Auslassventil 9 - abweichend von dem durch die Form des Nockens 23' vorgegebenen Verlauf (gestrichelte Linie E) - den Bewegungsverlauf gemäss der Kurve D beginnt. Etwa 70° nach UT (Punkt N) ist das Auslassventil 9 wieder in der Schliessstellung, d.h. etwa 10° Kurbelwinkel vor dem Punkt P, nämlich dem Schliesszeitpunkt, der durch die Form der Nocke 23' gegeben wäre. Der Punkt N kann sowohl näher beim Punkt P als auch näher bei UT liegen. Der grösste Abstand des Punktes N vom Punkt P beträgt etwa 50°.In FIG. 2, the stroke curve of the control piston 62 is plotted over the time axis B and two stroke curves of the exhaust valve 9 are plotted over the identical time axis C, specifically with the solid line D the stroke curve when using the invention and with the dashed line E the stroke curve without application the invention. The point F on the axis B lies at about 100 ° crank angle before UT and at point R (about 80 ° before UT) on the axis C the opening of the exhaust valve 9 begins because the roller 22 runs onto the cam 23 '. Between the points H (about 45 ° before UT) and L of the axis B, the annular groove 71 on the control piston 62 reaches the discharge channel 66 and then remains in front of it until it leaves the mouth of the discharge channel again between the points K and M. It starts at point H on axis C. Discharge of pressure medium via the discharge channel 66, as a result of which the outlet valve 9 - in deviation from the curve (dashed line E) given by the shape of the cam 23 '- begins the movement curve according to curve D. About 70 ° after UT (point N), the outlet valve 9 is again in the closed position, ie approximately 10 ° crank angle before point P, namely the closing time which would be given by the shape of the cam 23 '. The point N can be both closer to point P and closer to UT. The greatest distance between point N and point P is approximately 50 °.

Die Anordnung gemäss Fig.1 funktioniert wie folgt:
In der gezeichneten Stellung der Nockenwelle 23 befindet sich der Arbeitskolben 2 im Bereich des oberen Totpunktes. Das Auslassventil 9 wird geöffnet, nachdem die Rolle 22 des Hubgebers 61 auf den Nocken 23' aufläuft und der Steuerkolben 62 die Mündung des Kanals 65 passiert hat, so dass die Druckmittelsäule in der Leitung 20 zum Zylinderraum 19 hin verschoben wird. Durch diese Verschiebung wird das Auslassventil 9 in öffnenden Sinne bewegt. Sobald die in Fig.1 obere Begrenzungskante der Ringnut 71 am Steuerkolben 62 die Mündung des Ablasskanals 66 in den Zylinderraum 63 passiert, findet eine Entlastung der Druckmittelsäule in der Leitung 20 statt, da jetzt über den Kanal 70 Druckmittel in den Ablasskanal 66 entweicht, wodurch sich also das Druckmittelvolumen der Säule verringert. Die entweichende Menge ist dabei abhängig von der Stellung des Drosselstiftes 69 relativ zur Schulter 67'. Wenn die Rolle 22 des Hubgebers 61 die Ablaufbahn des Nockens 23' erreicht, bewegt sich der Steuerkolben 62 wieder nach unten und das Entweichen von Druckmittel über den Ablasskanal 66 wird beendet, wenn die obere Begrenzungskante der Ringnut 71 die Mündung des Ablasskanals 66 in den Zylinderraum 63 unterschreitet. Von der Luftfeder unter dem Servokolben 12 wird das Auslassventil 9 in die Schliessstellung zurückbewegt, wobei es wegen der gedämpften Endbewegung des Kolbens 12 weich auf die Sitzfläche 5 aufsetzt.
The arrangement according to Fig.1 works as follows:
In the drawn position of the camshaft 23, the working piston 2 is in the area of the top dead center. The outlet valve 9 is opened after the roller 22 of the stroke transmitter 61 runs onto the cam 23 ′ and the control piston 62 has passed the mouth of the channel 65, so that the pressure medium column in the line 20 is displaced towards the cylinder chamber 19. As a result of this displacement, the outlet valve 9 is moved in an opening sense. As soon as the upper boundary edge of the annular groove 71 on the control piston 62 in FIG. 1 passes the outlet channel 66 into the cylinder space 63, the pressure medium column in line 20 is relieved, since pressure medium now escapes into the outlet channel 66 via the channel 70, as a result of which the pressure medium volume of the column is reduced. The amount escaping depends on the position of the throttle pin 69 relative to the shoulder 67 '. When the roller 22 of the stroke encoder 61 reaches the trajectory of the cam 23 ', the control piston 62 moves down again and the escape of pressure medium via the discharge channel 66 is stopped when the upper boundary edge of the annular groove 71 leads to the opening of the discharge channel 66 into the cylinder space 63 falls below. That is from the air spring under the servo piston 12 Exhaust valve 9 is moved back into the closed position, whereby it sits softly on the seat surface 5 because of the damped end movement of the piston 12.

Das Druckmittelvolumen der Säule in der Leitung 20 wird von der Pumpe 24 über die Leitung 26 wieder aufgefüllt, nachdem die Ringnut 71 beim Abwärtshub des Steuerkolbens 62 die Mündung des Ablasskanals 66 passiert hat.The pressure medium volume of the column in line 20 is replenished by pump 24 via line 26 after the annular groove 71 has passed the mouth of the discharge channel 66 during the downward stroke of the control piston 62.

Bei Vollast der Brennkraftmaschine ist die Drosselstelle 67', 69 geschlossen, so dass sich dann das Auslassventil 9 nach der Kurve E in Fig.2 bewegt.At full load of the internal combustion engine, the throttle point 67 ', 69 is closed, so that the exhaust valve 9 then moves according to curve E in FIG.
