NEBENANTRIEB EINER BRENNKRAFTMASCHINE FUER EINEN LUFTPRESSER

摘要

A gear wheel drive air compressor which is constructed as a piston compressor, the drive gear wheel of which on the air compressor crankshaft meshes with a gear wheel on the camshaft of the internal combustion engine. The inventive construction prevents the reverse acceleration of the camshaft drive gear wheel and minimizes the knocking pulse and noise in the mesh of the camshaft gear wheel in that the transmission ratio between the air compressor drive gear wheel and the camshaft gear wheel is embodied as a multiple load cycle of the camshaft drive torque, and at the same time the angular position of the air compressor crankshaft relative to the camshaft is fixed such that negative torque components of the air compressor crankshaft are eliminated by the overlapping of positive torque components of the camshaft. Furthermore, the air compressor drive gear wheel is arranged in alignment with the air compressor crankshaft.
