A switchable device for supplying at least one consumer of an internal combustion engine with pressure. The device includes the following: a cavity formed inside a camshaft; a first displacement element arranged in the cavity, which element can be displaced between a first end position and a second end position, the first displacement element having a first pressure surface which at least partially delimits a first accumulator chamber together with the wall of the cavity; a first energy accumulator which interacts with the first displacement element, the first displacement element being displaceable against the force of the first energy accumulator from the first end position into the second end position under the effect of pressure applied to the first accumulator chamber; a locking mechanism by which the first displacement element can be locked in the second end position; a switching mechanism which can be actuated by an actuator, having a switch element that can be brought into at least two switching positions and interacts with the locking mechanism in such a manner that the locked state of the first displacement element is maintained in a first switching position and is reversed in a second switching position; a second displacement element arranged in the cavity, which element can be displaced between a first end position and a second end position, the second displacement element having a second pressure surface which at least partially delimits a second accumulator chamber together with the wall of the cavity; a second energy accumulator which interacts with the second displacement element, the second displacement element being displaceable against the force of the second energy accumulator from the first end position into the second end position under the effect of pressure applied to the second accumulator chamber; the first accumulator chamber and the second accumulator chamber communicating with each other and being connectible to a pressure source in a fluid-conducting manner. |
