ARRANGEMENT FOR CHANGING THE VALVE TIMING OF AN INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

An arrangement for changing the valve timing of an internal-combustion engine has a camshaft, which can be rotated relative to a shaft driving it. The camshaft has a phase converter with a piston which is hydraulically acted upon on both sides. In the camshaft, an axial recess is arranged in which an inserted pipe separates two spaces from one another. An on/off valve fed from the oil circulating system, in one position, via one of the spaces, supplies the piston with pressure oil so that this piston is axially shifted into a first end position and in the process rotates the camshaft. In a second position, the piston, by way of the second space is axially pushed back by pressure oil.
