Valve mechanism with a variable valve opening diameter

摘要

A valve mechanism with a variable valve opening cross section disposed in a passageway of an internal combustion engine and has a gas exchange valve that is acted on by the force of a valve spring and can be slid back and forth in the axial direction inside a guide by a valve control unit. Coaxial to the gas exchange valve is a seal valve acted on by the force of a coupling spring and can be slid back and forth in the axial direction by the valve control unit. The position of the seal valve in relation to the gas exchange valve in the axial direction can be changed by an adjusting unit.
