Definitions

  • the invention relates to a camshaft adjusting device for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Camshaft adjusting devices serve to open and close the time the gas exchange valves by a relative rotation of the camshaft to move against the crankshaft.
  • the rotor and stator blades lie with their end faces on the respective mating surfaces of the stator or Rotor.
  • hydraulic medium used, which act on the rotor blades from both sides so can be that the rotor is rotated in the desired direction relative to the stator becomes.
  • To reduce the leakage flow of the hydraulic medium between The adjacent surfaces must be the rotor or stator with their faces abut sealingly against the mating surfaces. For this reason the sealing surfaces are formed correspondingly long. This will but reduces the swing angle of the rotor blades.
  • camshaft adjusting devices (DE 101 56 055 C2, DE 102 46 173 A1, DE 102 23 523 A1, US 2003/0217720 A1, US Pat 6 758 177 B1, US 6 637 390 B1, EP 1 143 113 A2) have the rotor blades and thus the stator blades even side surfaces. So that the sealing surfaces At the end faces of the rotor blades are sufficiently long, have the rotor blades a correspondingly large width, but only a limited Swing angle of the rotor allows.
  • Nockenwellenverstellvorraumen in which the Side surfaces of the rotor blade projections are provided (DE 101 34 320 A1), with which the rotor blades in the end position on the side surfaces of the stator vanes issue. By these projections, the pivot angle of the rotor also affected.
  • camshaft adjusting devices are known (US Pat 2003/0056744 A1), in which the free ends of the rotor blades in width are formed tapered. Even with such training is only a limited Swing angle achievable.
  • the invention is based on the object, the generic camshaft adjusting in such a way that with structurally simple training and cost-effective production ensures optimum operation is.
  • the side surfaces of the Rotor blades are concavely curved over part of their length, so that the Rotor blades can be kept narrow. This has the consequence that the Swivel angle of the rotor is increased because the rotor blades due to their small width only at larger swivel angles on the side surfaces of the Stator wings come to the plant.
  • the rotor blades and their end faces transverse to the longitudinal direction of Rotor blade extending sections provided.
  • the stator wings rest In the two end positions of the rotor, in which the rotor blades with their side surfaces on the side surfaces the stator wings rest, are between the sections and the Statorabêten without recesses must be made on the stator, formed chamber-like receiving spaces in which may be in the hydraulic medium or accumulate a pressure chamber existing dirt particles can. This prevents a structurally simple way that the Dirt particles between the end faces of the rotor blades and the counter surface get the stator and thereby affect the rotational movement of the rotor can.
  • the sections of the rotor blades are very easy produce, so that the camshaft adjusting device according to the invention can be manufactured inexpensively.
  • the transition areas are advantageous designed so that in the region of the front side scraping edges are formed, the possibly existing dirt particles simply into the end-side chambers strip.
  • the camshaft adjusting devices are used in internal combustion engines Used motor vehicles. With them, the opening duration of the injectors depending on the power requirement of the internal combustion engine controlled. During engine operation, the camshaft adjustment device the angular position between the crankshaft and the camshaft changed.
  • the camshaft adjusting device has a rotationally fixed with a chain / pulley connected stator 1.
  • a chain / pulley connected stator 1 About the drive wheel and a corresponding Drive element, such as a chain or a belt, is the stator 1 connected in a known manner with a (not shown) crankshaft.
  • the stator 1 has a cylindrical base body 2, of which in a uniform Spacing radially outwardly projecting wings 3 protrude. Neighboring one another Wings each delimit a pressure chamber 4, in the hydraulic medium can be introduced.

  • an end position of the rotor 5 is the Pressure medium in the pressure chamber 4a pressurized while the Pressure chamber 4b is relieved to the tank. If the rotor 5 from this end position Turned clockwise relative to the stator 1, the Pressure chamber 4b set under pressure, while the pressure chamber 4a depressurized becomes. Then the rotor 5 can be rotated until the rotor blades 7 with the side surfaces 12 on the side surfaces 14 of the stator 3 issue.
