<p>The invention relates to a modular internal combustion engine ( 1 ) comprising an engine housing ( 17, 117 ) with a crankshaft drive ( 40 ) having at least one reciprocating piston ( 4 ) in a cylinder ( 2 ), which acts on a crankshaft ( 6 ) by means of a connecting rod ( 5 ), and a variable-speed gear box ( 10 ) connected to the crankshaft ( 6 ) via a disengaging clutch ( 8 ), and a gearbox output train ( 12 ) which connects to at least one drive shaft ( 15 ) of a vehicle. In order to serve a large variety of vehicle types with a single low-cost engine design the proposal is put forward that the internal combustion engine ( 1 ) should have at least one main module ( 26 ) including the subassemblies engine housing ( 17 ), crankshaft drive ( 40 ), variable-speed gearbox ( 10 ), and gearbox output train ( 12 ), and at least one auxiliary module ( 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 ) attachable to the main module ( 26 ), and that no mechanical connection be provided between the variable-speed gearbox ( 10 ) and the gearbox output train ( 12 ) within the main module ( 26 ) but that a rotational connection be effected by attaching a first auxiliary module ( 27 ) to the main module ( 26 ).</p> |
