Problems solved by technology

However, this only applies conditionally to the starting process of the internal combustion engine, since during the starting process there are still no measured values ​​regarding the phasing of the camshafts and therefore it is not possible to optimally adjust the phasing

Embodiment Construction

[0020] A device for adjusting the angular position of the camshaft 3 relative to the crankshaft 5 of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine has an adjusting transmission 1 according to FIG. A three-shaft transmission with a driven shaft and an adjusting shaft. The adjusting gear can be a planetary gear, preferably a planetary gearbox.

[0021] The drive shaft is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a camshaft gear 2 which is drive-connected in a known manner via a chain or a toothed belt to a crankshaft gear arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the crankshaft 5 of the internal combustion engine. The driven shaft is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the camshaft 3 . The adjustment shaft is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the rotor of an electric motor 4 . The adjusting gear 1 is integrated in the hub of the camshaft gear 2 .

[0022] In order to limit the angle of rotation between the camshaft 3 and the crankshaft 5 of the intern...

Abstract

In a method for adjusting the rotational angular position of a camshaft relative to a crankshaft of a reciprocating internal combustion engine, the crankshaft is connected to the camshaft via a three-shaft transmission. The three-shaft transmission has a drive shaft fixed to the crankshaft, a driven shaft fixed to the camshaft and an adjusting shaft driven by an electric motor. A crankshaft sensor signal is detected, which changes its state when a rotational angle of the crankshaft changes. In addition, an adjusting shaft sensor signal is detected, which changes its state when an indexing change of the adjusting shaft occurs. Starting from a reference angle of rotation value, a phase angle signal is tracked and adjusted to a provided target phase angle signal when a state change of the crankshaft sensor signal and / or the adjustment shaft sensor signal is made. The ignition of the internal combustion engine is then switched off and / or the rotational speed of the crankshaft is reduced below a predetermined minimum rotational speed value. While the crankshaft and / or the camshaft are still rotating, the electric motor is supplied with current in such a way that the camshaft rotates in the direction of a predetermined reference position relative to the crankshaft. When the internal combustion engine is next started, the camshaft and the crankshaft are positioned in reference positions and detected by means of a sensor. The phase angle signal is set to a reference value and then adjusted to the desired phase angle signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for adjusting the angular position of the camshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine relative to the crankshaft, wherein the crankshaft is in driving connection with the camshaft via an adjusting gear, the adjusting gear being constituted by a Three-shaft transmission of a driving shaft, a driven shaft fixed on a camshaft, and an adjusting shaft in driving connection with an electric motor, in which the crankshaft rotates and detects a crankshaft sensor signal which changes its state when a rotational angle of the crankshaft changes , wherein the adjustment shaft rotates and detects an adjustment shaft sensor signal, which changes its state upon an index change of the adjustment shaft, wherein starting from a reference angle value assigned to a reference angle position, the crankshaft sensor signal and / or adjustment Tracking a phase angle signal during a state change of the shaft sensor signal, wherein...
