专利说明:
The invention relates to a length-adjustable connecting rod for a reciprocating engine, with at least a first rod part and a second rod part, which two rod parts by an actuating medium telescopically zoom in and / or into each other, wherein the displacement of the rod parts by a hydraulic control device is controllable, which at least a displaceably mounted in the direction of a displacement axis part, wherein the displacement axis in a rocking plane of the connecting rod, preferably normal to the longitudinal axis of the connecting rod - is arranged. The AT 511.803 Bl describes a length-displaceable connecting rod for an internal combustion engine with two telescopically movable rod parts, between the first and second rod part a high-pressure chamber is spanned, in which an oil passage opens, the flow is controlled by a control valve designed as a control device. Furthermore, from AT 514 071 Bl a telescopically adjustable connecting rod is known, wherein a rod part form a guide cylinder and another rod part of the connecting rod in the guide cylinder longitudinally displaceable piston member, wherein between the piston member and the guide cylinder on one side of the piston, a first high-pressure chamber and on the On the other side of the piston, a second high-pressure chamber are clamped, open into which oil passages whose flow is controlled by means of a displaceable against the force of a return spring spool. In both AT 511.803 B and AT 514.071 B, the spool is located near the crankpin bearing in the rod end of the connecting rod forming the large connecting rod eye. During rotation of the crankshaft, acceleration forces act on the spool against the force of the return spring. From a certain speed acting on the spool mass inertia forces are so large that the spool is moved solely by the acceleration forces against the restoring force, resulting in a lifting of the return spring and the control piston. This leads to a malfunction of the control device. Therefore, these known control devices can only be used up to a defined maximum speed. The object of the invention is to expand the field of application and to provide a length-adjustable connecting rod, which is also suitable for higher speeds. According to the invention this is achieved in that at least one reciprocating part of the control device has at least one buoyant body or is at least partially designed as a buoyant body. The float floating in the oil has a lower density than the actuating oil, such as engine oil. It can be designed as a hollow body or as a closed-cell foam body, for example made of polystyrene. By firmly connected to the reciprocating part or formed integrally with this buoyancy body, the accelerated mass is reduced, the Archimedian principle that the static buoyancy of a body in a medium is the same as the weight of the body displaced medium to Application comes. Preferably, at least one reciprocating part of the control device is formed by a control piston or spool displaceably mounted in a cylinder, whose first end face adjoin a control chamber which can be acted upon with oil and whose second end side adjoin a spring space having a return spring. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that at least one buoyant body is arranged in the region of the first end face and / or in the region of the second end face of the control piston. A substantial reduction in the accelerated mass can be achieved, in particular, when a buoyant body is arranged both in the region of the first end face and in the region of the second end face adjoining the spring chamber. For this purpose, it is necessary that the spring chamber is flooded with the oil. This can be achieved with very little effort if the control piston between the control chamber and the spring chamber has a defined leakage, wherein preferably the spring chamber is fluidly connected to a storage space, which may be arranged for example in the same rod part of the connecting rod as the control device. If the storage space is connected to the crankcase via a throttle, an unobstructed oil return into the crankcase space can be achieved. Thus, the spring chamber of the control piston or spool is thus always filled with the oil, as always enough oil from the storage space and / or can be sucked through the leaks by the reciprocating movements of the control piston or spool. The throttle allows damping of the movement of the control piston or the spool, whereby it is less sensitive to any returning pressure waves. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the control device comprises a first valve and a second valve, each having a valve body arranged in a valve body, which is pressed by a restoring force against a valve seat, and at least one reciprocating part by a the valve body is formed with one another connecting and displaceable between a first position and a second position connecting rod, wherein preferably the connecting rod has at least one buoyancy body or at least partially formed as a buoyant body. In this case, the connecting rod may for example be hollow and thus form a buoyant body itself. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that at least one valve body has at least one buoyancy body or is at least partially designed as a buoyancy body. All of the measures mentioned contribute to the fact that the density of the entire system and the masses to which lateral accelerations as a result of the crankshaft revolution are substantially reduced. In this way, engine speeds can be realized well above 7000 U / min, without the function of the length adjustability of the connecting rod is limited. The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the non-limiting figures. Show it 1 shows a connecting rod according to the invention in a longitudinal section in a first embodiment, 2 shows the control device of this connecting rod in a schematic representation, 3 shows the control device of the connecting rod from FIG. 1 in a detailed representation and FIG. 3 4 shows a control device of a connecting rod according to the invention in a second embodiment variant. Functionally identical parts are provided in the embodiments with the same reference numerals. Fig. 1 shows a two-part connecting rod 1 with a small connecting rod 2 for a not further shown piston pin bearing and a large connecting rod 3 for a not further shown crank pin bearing an internal combustion engine. The rotational symmetry axes of the small or large connecting rod 2, 3 are denoted by 2a and 3a, respectively. The longitudinal axis of the connecting rod 1 is denoted by la, one on the rotational symmetry axes 2a and 3a of the small and large connecting rod 2, 3 normal and the longitudinal axis la of the connecting rod 1-containing longitudinal center plane - the swing plane - the connecting rod 1 is denoted by ε. The connecting rod 1 has an upper first rod portion 4 with the small connecting rod 2 and a lower second rod portion 5 with the large connecting rod 3. The first rod part 4 is adjustable relative to the second rod part 5 between an extended position and an inserted position shown in Fig. 1 by an adjustment range Äl in the direction of the longitudinal axis la of the connecting rod 1. In the upper first rod part 4, a substantially cylindrical piston element 6 is fastened, for example, with a fastening screw 7 formed by a hexagon socket screw. The piston element 6 is guided in an axially displaceable manner in a guide cylinder 8 of the lower second rod part 5 of the connecting rod 1, wherein between at least one position of the two rod parts 4, 5, a first end face 6a of the piston element 6 and the second rod part 5 facing the large connecting rod eye 3 first high-pressure chamber 9 is clamped. The piston element 6 designed as a stepped piston has a second end face 6b facing the small connecting rod eye 2, which adjoins a second high-pressure chamber 10 whose cylindrical lateral surface is formed by the guide cylinder 8 of the second rod part 5. Under a stepped piston is generally a piston - in the present case a "double-acting piston" - with different sizes Understanding effective surfaces, one of the active surfaces (here: the oriented against the second high-pressure chamber 10 effective area) is designed as an annular surface and the other effective surface area as a circular area. Due to the different effective surfaces, the pressure conditions described here can be realized. The annular first and second end faces 6a, 6b form pressure application surfaces for an actuating medium, for example engine oil, which is led into the high-pressure chambers 9, 10 and is under pressure. In the first high pressure chamber 9, a first oil passage 11 and in the second high pressure chamber 10, a second oil passage 12 opens. The oil supply of the first and second oil passage 11, 12 via the oil supply passage 13, which starts from the connecting rod bearing 3b of the large connecting rod 3 and thus fluidly connected to the crank pin bearing, not shown, and connected to the oil supply channel 13 connecting channels 14, 15th For controlling the pressures in the first and second high-pressure chambers 9, 10, a control device 16 in the connecting rod 1, in the lower first rod member 4, is provided, which in the flow path between the first connecting channel 14 and the first oil passage 10, a first valve 17 with a first valve chamber 18, in which a biased by a first valve spring 19 first valve body 20 is pressed against a first valve seat 21. In the first valve chamber 18, the first oil passage 11 opens. Furthermore, the control device 16 has a second valve 22 with a second valve chamber 23, in which a biased by a second valve spring 24 second valve body 25 is pressed against a second valve seat 26, wherein the second oil passage 12 opens into the second valve chamber 23. Furthermore, the control device 16 has a connecting device 27 between the first valve 17 and the second valve 22 with at least one connecting element 28, which is formed in the embodiments by a normal to the longitudinal axis la, in particular in the swing plane ε of the connecting rod 1 connecting rod 29. The connecting element 28 is fixedly connected to a control piston 31 displaceable in a control cylinder 30. The spring-loaded by a return spring 32 control piston 31 is adjacent to a control chamber 33 into which a connected to the oil supply channel 13 and the connecting channel 15 control line 34 opens. The valve body 20 or 25 and the connecting device 27 are separate components. As a result, the connecting device 27 is at a distance from the first valve body 20 in the displacement position shown in FIG. The first and second valve bodies 20, 25 of the first and second valves 17, 23 are preferably formed by balls. Through the valve body 20, 25 of the first and second valves 17, 23, the flow connections between the first supply channel 14 and the first oil channel 11 and between the second supply channel 15 and the second oil channel 12 are opened or closed. The existing example of plastic control piston 31 is actuated by the oil pressure of the internal combustion engine. If the oil pressure - for example, at light load - under a defined set pressure (of, for example, 0.8 bar) is maintained, the control piston 31 stops in its position shown in Fig. 2, because the spring force of the return spring 32 is greater than the force In this case, the connecting rod 29, which is fixed to the control piston 31 - for example, by a press fit - holds the valve body 25 for the connection to the second high-pressure chamber 10 via the second oil passage 12 is opened, while the first valve body 20 of the first valve 17 remains closed for connection to the first high-pressure chamber 9 through the first valve spring 19. During the lifting movement acts in the region of the top dead center of the piston, not shown, a mass force on the connecting rod 1, which the first rod member together with piston 6 - in Fig. 1, 2 considered - and thus pulls the small eye up. In this case, oil is sucked in via the actually closed first valve 17, in that the first valve body 20 is raised counter to the restoring force of the first valve spring 19 by the suction effect produced in the first high pressure chamber 9; the lower first high pressure chamber 9 fills with oil via the first oil passage 11, while oil is pressed out of the upper second high pressure chamber 10 into the second oil passage 12. The connecting rod 1 is thereby longer. The oil flow in the oil passages 11, 12 is shown by arrows in FIG. When the oil pressure at a higher engine load increases to a higher level, the return spring 32 of the control piston 31 is compressed, wherein the control piston 31 moves to a left stop of the control cylinder 30. In this position, the connecting rod 29 presses the first valve body 20 of the first valve 17, which connects the lower first high-pressure chamber 9 with the oil supply channel 13. This allows the oil from the first high-pressure chamber 9 to flow back into the oil supply channel 13 and thus further into the oil supply system. Since the connecting rod 29 is lifted from the second valve body 25 and thus the second valve body 25 is pressed by the restoring force of the second valve spring 24 to the second valve seat 26, the second valve 22 is closed; at each ignition, the piston 6 is depressed and sucked oil into the second high-pressure chamber 10 by the suction in the second high-pressure chamber 10 via the actually closed second valve 22 by the opposite of the force of the second valve spring 24 contrasting second valve body 25 to the second high-pressure chamber 10 with oil is filled. When the oil pressure in the oil system is lowered again, the return spring 32 of the control piston 21 expands (FIG. 2) and the control piston 31 moves to the right as viewed in FIG. 2, the second valve 22 for the second high-pressure chamber 10 being opened and the first Valve 17 for the first high-pressure chamber 9 is closed again. The first high pressure chamber 9 pumps again in the manner described by acting on the second rod member and the piston member 6 at the top dead center of the piston mass forces and the connecting rod 1 is longer again. The control device 16 a number of in the direction of the displacement axis 16 a of the control device 16 reciprocating parts, such as control piston 31, connecting rod 29 and valve body 20, 25 on. The displacement axis 16a of the control device is arranged in the rocker plane ε and approximately normal to the longitudinal axis la of the connecting rod 1. During the rotation of the crankshaft, acceleration forces act on reciprocating parts of the control device 16, in particular on the control piston 31 against the force of the return spring 32. From a certain speed on the control piston 31 acting mass inertia forces are so great that finally the force of the return spring 32 is exceeded and the control piston 31 would be moved by the acceleration forces against the restoring force alone, resulting in a malfunction of the controller 16 and thus the Speed range for the adjustment of the connecting rod 1 would restrict. In order to avoid this, at least one reciprocating part of the control device 16 has at least one buoyancy body 60 or is at least partially designed as a buoyancy body. The buoyant body 60 may be formed as a hollow body or as a closed-cell foam body. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, at least one buoyant body 60 may be arranged in the region of the first end face 31a. Furthermore, a buoyant body 61 can also be arranged in the region of the second end face 31b of the control piston 31. So that the buoyant body 61 floats in the oil, defined leaks are provided between the control chamber 33 and the spring chamber 32a. Furthermore, the connecting rod 29 and / or the valve body 20, 25 may be designed as a buoyant body, for example as a hollow body. As is apparent from FIGS. 2 and 3, the spring chamber 32a is connected to a storage space 62, which is connected via a throttle 63 to the crank chamber of the crankcase, not shown. This allows an oil return in the crankcase space. Thus, the spring chamber 32a of the control piston 31 is thus always filled with the oil, since by the reciprocating movements of the control piston 31 always enough oil from the storage space 32 and / or can be sucked through the leaks. The throttle 63 allows damping of the movement of the control piston 16, whereby an opening of the first valve 17 and thus of the first high-pressure chamber 9 can be avoided by a deflection of the control piston 16 and the displacement rod 29 to follow from the second high-pressure chamber 10 returning pressure waves. Fig. 4 shows an embodiment in which the control device 16 instead of the two valves 17, 23 has a control spool formed as a control piston 31 which is slidably disposed in a control cylinder 30 along the displacement axis 16a. The control cylinder 30 is inserted into a stepped bore 65 of the second rod part 5 of the connecting rod 1 in the region of the large connecting rod eye 3 in the rocker plane ε and normal to the longitudinal axis la of the connecting rod 1 and sealed by means of sealing rings 66. The control piston 31 can be deflected against the force of the return spring 32 disposed in the spring chamber 32a of the control cylinder 30 by the oil pressure applied in the control chamber 33. The control chamber 33 is connected via a control line 34 to the oil supply channel 13. About the control piston 31 at least one leading to the first high-pressure chamber 9 bore 11 a of the first oil passage 11 is controlled. The control piston 31 is shown in Fig. 4 in two positions, wherein in the upper illustration of the piston control piston 31, the bore 11 a is controlled and controlled in the lower illustration of the control piston 31. The control piston 31 has in the control cylinder 30 a slight clearance of, for example, 4 pm, which can be dispensed with wear-intensive seals between moving parts. As in the case of the first exemplary embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the control piston 31 also has buoyancy bodies 60, 61, which are firmly connected to the control piston 31, in the second exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, a first buoyancy body 60 adjoining the control space 33 is arranged in the region of the first end face 31a and a second buoyancy body 61 adjoining the spring space 32a is arranged in the region of the second end face 31b of the control piston 31. The spring chamber 32a is fluidly connected to a storage space 62, which is in turn connected via a throttle 63 with the crank chamber of the reciprocating engine, not shown. Due to the small clearance between control piston 31 and control cylinder 30 occur small - intended - leaks between the control chamber 33 and the spring chamber 32 a, whereby the buoyancy bodies 60, 61 are always largely surrounded by oil and swim. As a result, the well-known Archimedean principle that the static buoyancy of a body in a medium is just as great as the weight of the body displaced by the medium, is used. The lateral acceleration force, which would cause a lifting of the control piston 31 and the return spring 32 is thus substantially reduced, so that malfunction of the control device 16 can be avoided. All described embodiments allow by the use of the buoyancy bodies 60, 61, the density of the entire system and the masses, to which Transverse accelerations due to the crankshaft revolution act to significantly reduce. Thus, engine speeds can be realized well above 7000 U / min, without the function of the length-adjustable connecting rod 1 must be limited.
