  • the invention relates to reciprocating internal combustion engines with a crank mechanism and an indirectly coupled to the piston, the cylinder axis intersecting transmission lever, which is hinged on the one hand to a connecting rod of a crank mechanism and on the other hand guided in a cylinder block, but adjustable storage.
  • the invention has for its object to achieve a greater variation in the translation of movements between the crank mechanism and piston in a generic internal combustion engine.
  • the pull and push rod connected to a piston of the internal combustion engine at its end facing the transmission lever on a guide, which is preferably designed as a pivotally mounted shoe, which engages in a longitudinally extending on the transmission lever guide.
  • the transmission lever is pivotally connected on the one hand with a connecting rod of the crankshaft and on the other hand, the transmission lever with an actuator, for variably setting the articulation of the pull and push rod to the transmission lever connected.
  • the guide of the pull and push rod is effected by a guide lever which is pivotally connected on the one hand with the pull and push rod and on the other hand is pivotally articulated on the cylinder block.
  • the shoe can alternatively as any guide which displaceably guides the connecting rod on the transmission lever, z. B. as a slot in the transmission lever, in which engages a pin formed on the connecting rod, be formed.
  • crank mechanism and piston With the embodiment according to the invention, a greater variation of the translation of movements between crank mechanism and piston can be realized than in the previously known generic solution. It move in addition to the piston in the first embodiment, only three transmission elements oscillating and that is the transmission lever, a connecting rod and the piston connected to the shoe and provided with pull and push rod.
  • the necessary guidance of the pull and push rod of the piston also takes place by a guide lever, which is mounted to reduce the forces occurring vertically displaceable on the cylinder block.
  • Another variant provides to guide the pull and push rod of the piston in place of the guide lever by a parallel to the cylinder axis arranged slide.
  • FIG. 1 shows the engine of a reciprocating internal combustion engine according to the invention in a schematic representation.
  • a cylinder 1 is arranged, in which a piston 2 moves and forms a volume-variable working space in a known manner depending on the size of the stroke.
  • the crankshaft 3 runs in a bearing 30ZB in the cylinder block, which is arranged offset to the cylinder axis ZA, in the direction of rotation DR.
  • a connecting rod 4 is mounted, whose outer bearing eye is hinged at the end of a transmission lever 5.
  • the piston 2 is positively connected to a pull and push rod 6, at the other end a pin 61 is arranged, which engages in a slot 51 of the transmission lever 5.
  • the transmission lever 5 is pivotally mounted in a cylinder block in adjustable guided storage 8.
  • a form-fitting bearing guide 8ZB is arranged, in which the bearing 8 can be set determined by an actuator, not shown in position.
  • the controllable by the actuator not shown changes in the position of the bearing 8 are shown symbolically in Figure 1 by the designated arrow S8.
  • the bearing guide 8ZB is always directed transversely to the cylinder axis ZA, but it can be arranged at right angles or in an expedient manner extending inclined. Inclined to the cylinder axis ZA extending bearing guides 8ZB are not shown in the figures.
  • a guide lever 9 is pivotally articulated, which is hinged on its side remote from the pull and push rod 6 side pivotally mounted on the cylinder block ZB. With an adjustment of the bearing 8 of the transmission lever 5, the transmission lever 5 facing side of the connecting rod 4 due to the stationary, but pivotally mounted on the cylinder block ZB guide lever 9 relative to the transmission lever. 5 moved in the slot 51.
  • FIG. 3 shows the engine in a setting according to FIG. 2 for a large stroke, but with a position of the crankshaft 3 in which the piston 2 has reached the bottom dead center UT.
  • the pull and push rod 6 pivots from its vertical and is forcibly guided by the guide lever 9 in the slot 51 of the transmission lever 5.
  • Figures 4 to 7 show a variant of the solution according to the invention, in which the friction between the shoe 7 and the pin 61 of the pull and push rod 6 and the transmission lever 5 is further reduced.
  • the adjustment of the stroke of the piston 2 is also carried out by moving the transmission lever 5 by an adjusting drive, so that the articulation point of the pull and push rod 6 is moved to the transmission lever 5 according to the stroke to be set.
  • the leadership of the pull and push rod 6 is also carried out by the guide lever 9, but pivotally mounted on a cylinder block ZB, vertically displaceable sliding guide 10 is articulated.
  • the actuator for setting and changing the stroke consists essentially of a controllably driven worm shaft 12, which is in operative connection with a worm wheel 11.
  • a controllably driven worm shaft 12 which is in operative connection with a worm wheel 11.
  • the worm wheel 11 is pivoted about its pivot point 16.
  • the worm wheel 11 is pivoted either up or down.
  • the worm wheel 11 is spaced from the pivot point 16 on the one hand via a pivotally hinged feed lever 14 with the guide lever 9 and a sliding guide 10 hingedly connected.
  • the worm wheel 11 is pivotally connected via a pivotally hinged rocker arm 15 with the transmission lever 5.
  • the pivotable articulation of the feed lever 14 and the rocker 15 on the worm wheel 11 takes place via a common pivot pin. Also via a common pivot pin, the articulation of the feed lever 14 and the guide lever 9 to the arranged on the cylinder block ZB, vertically displaceable sliding guide 10.
  • a two-lever 13 is pivotally hinged, the other end is stationary, but pivotally mounted on the cylinder block ZB.
  • the pivotal movement of the rocker arm 15 about the pivot point 17 of the transmission lever 5 is moved, wherein the articulation point of the pull and push rod 6 on the transmission lever 5 according to the is shifted to be set stroke.
  • the pivoting of the worm wheel 11 displaces the guide lever 9 articulated on the sliding guide 10, which also influences the adjustment of the articulation of the pull and push rod 6 on the transmission lever 5.
  • FIGS. 4 and 6 each show a large stroke adjustment, with FIG. 4 showing the position of the piston 2 at bottom dead center UT and FIG. 6 the position of the piston 2 at top dead center TDC. From the illustrations it can be seen that the sliding guide 10 is in its lower position and the articulation point of the rocker 15 and the feed lever 14 is located on the worm wheel 11 close to the worm shaft 12.
  • FIG. 5 shows the piston 2 at bottom dead center UT
  • FIG. 7 shows the position of the piston 2 at top dead center OT.
  • FIGS. 8 to 10 Another variant of the solution according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 8 to 10.
  • the leadership of the pull and push rod 6 does not take place by means of the guide lever 9, but by a cylinder block ZB arranged slide 60ZB.
  • the transmission lever 5 is also slidably and pivotally mounted to adjust the stroke in a displaceable by an actuator not shown bearing 8.
  • Figure 8 shows a position of the engine after passing through top dead center OT at a high lift setting.
  • the aspect ratio between the effective lever arm H4 of the connecting rod 4 on the transmission lever 5 and the effective lever arm H6 connected to the piston 2 pull and push rod 6 is about 7 to 10.
  • FIG. 9 shows the engine elements at a piston position at top dead center OT and FIG. 10 at a piston position at bottom dead center UT.
  • the transmission lever 5 moved by the connecting rod 4 pivots about the angle ⁇ 5, whereby the piston 2 travels the path S.
  • the solution according to the invention is in addition to the reciprocating internal combustion engines for other reciprocating engines, such. B. for axial compressor or expander, can be used.
