Definitions

  • the invention relates to an internal combustion engine, in particular reciprocating internal combustion engine, with double crank drive and variable compression.
  • a reciprocating internal combustion engine with double crank drive is for example from the DE 102 47 106 B4 known.
  • reciprocating internal combustion engines with double crank drive have numerous advantages. From Doppelkurbeltrieb forth no lateral forces are exerted on the piston, whereby the friction is reduced, the vibration excitation is lower and the piston can be made flat and shirtless, which is advantageous for the, if necessary, lubrication of the sliding piston ring / cylinder wall or a Can make piston lubrication redundant.
  • the angle of rotation of the crank disks is different from the rotational angle in the subsequent movement of the piston from BDC to TDC when the piston moves from TDC to TDC. This can be used advantageously in the combustion.
  • the torque output is made uniform, which is further supported by the fact that compared to conventional engines with the same piston stroke smaller crank radii of double cranks are required.
  • the compression of a reciprocating internal combustion engine that is, the ratio between the volume of a working chamber formed in the cylinder above the piston at bottom dead center (UT) piston to at top dead center (TDC) piston has, among other things, strong influence on consumption. For example, a higher compression is desired in the partial load range.
  • the compression ratio is typically limited by the tendency to knock, and it may be greater in naturally aspirated engines than in turbocharged engines.
  • diesel engine especially for a safe start a high compression ratio is required. During operation of the diesel engine lowering of the compression ratio is advantageous for low pollutant content in the exhaust gas and friction reasons.
  • variable compression is created only with great effort.
  • the adjustment takes place in known engines only in a very small area.
  • variable compression internal combustion engine which has an eccentric crankshaft bearing, wherein a torsionally rigid connection is arranged between the crankshaft bearing and a gear comprising at least one gear segment and a gearwheel.
  • the gear segment is fixed to an axially outer crankshaft bearing and by means of the gear is for adjusting the eccentric crankshaft bearing torque on the gear segment can be introduced.
  • the previously known internal combustion engine could not prevail.
  • the DE 195 06 963 A1 discloses a changeover motor in which the degree of expansion is greater than the degree of compression.
  • Other relevant to the prior art documents are the CN 203 939 575 U , the US 2,229,778 , the EP 1 710 394 A1 , the GB 441,666 , the EP 2 792 846 A1 and the DE 100 19 959 A1 ,
  • the invention has for its object to provide a reciprocating internal combustion engine with variable compression.
  • the invention can be used for substantially all types of reciprocating internal combustion engines, such as single and multi-cylinder engines, gasoline, diesel, and gas engines, two-stroke and four-stroke engines.
  • the invention reduces the risk of damage to the entire engine and the load on its parts.
  • the entire engine design is easier and less risky. There are advantages in terms of size and weight, friction, design effort and cost of manufacture, service cost, tolerances and fits, and motor life extension. The crime and the emissions are reduced.

  • an outlet channel 40 leads through an unillustrated exhaust system of the reciprocating internal combustion engine to the outside.
  • the outlet channel 40 can be closed by means of an outlet valve 42 designed, for example, as a poppet valve.

  • valves 34 and 38 When operating in the four-stroke process, the valves 34 and 38 are closed and the valves 28 and 42 open starting from located in the bottom dead center piston 12 at an exhaust or exhaust stroke.
  • the piston pushes burned charge out of the working chamber during the exhaust stroke and simultaneously draws in fresh air into the fresh air chamber 24.
  • the valves 28 and 42 are on and the valves 34 and 38 are on, so that in the connecting channel 32 and the fresh air chamber 24 fresh air is pushed through the open valves 34 and 38 into the working chamber 20.

At least the contour must be formed so that a degree of toothing (overlap perpendicular to the longitudinal direction) of the contact regions 126, 130 can be varied by rotating the piston tube 14 about its longitudinal axis. In normal operation of the engine, the piston tube 14 is always pressed on the connecting rod connecting member 64.
  • the connecting rod connecting member 64 is formed so that the lower end of the piston tube 14 comes to rest directly on a correspondingly contoured upper edge of the connecting rod connecting member 64.
  • the piston tube is not plugged into the connecting rod connecting member and no contact portion projecting inwardly is provided in the connecting rod connecting member.
  • the connecting rod connection component 64 also has different heights / lengths in the longitudinal direction at different circumferential positions.
  • the piston tube and the connecting rod connection component can engage in a first degree in a first end position (uppermost point of engagement of the connecting rod connecting component on the piston tube).
  • first degree in a first end position uppermost point of engagement of the connecting rod connecting component on the piston tube.
  • the piston tube 14 may be guided in its relative movement to the connecting rod connecting member 64 on the same, so that a lifting of the piston rod is prevented.
  • the piston tube 14 has a region 132 which projects downwards within the contact region 126 of the piston tube 14 and has an outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the contact region 130 of the connecting rod connection component 64.
  • a radially outwardly projecting guide projection 134 is provided.
  • the connecting rod connection component 64 has a guide groove 136 in its lower region (below the contact region 130).
  • the guide groove 136 is formed in the wall of the connecting rod connecting member 64 so that the guide projection 134 is guided therein in accordance with the movement path given by the contact holes 126, 130 when the piston tube 14 is rotated to the connecting rod connecting member 64.
  • the guide projection 134 preferably absorbs substantially only forces that attempt to remove the piston tube 14 from the connecting rod connection component 64, whereas the contact areas absorb the pressure forces acting therebetween.
