| Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a crankshaft (
1
) for a reciprocating internal combustion engine, in which the connecting rods are mounted, with an eccentric sleeve (
4
) connected in between, on the crankshaft journal (
3
) of a crankshaft (
1
). A rotation of the eccentric sleeve (
4
) with respect to the crankshaft journal (
3
) therefore leads to a change in the effective length of the connecting rod. The rotation of the sleeve (
4
) is brought about via an electric or hydraulic motor (
7
) which drives a worm (
6
) which engages in an outer toothing (
5
) of the sleeve (
4
). By means of the active drive, rotation of the sleeve (
4
) is ensured even if the auto-rotation is impaired due to the occurrence of wear. Furthermore, a self-locking design of the worm gear has the effect of the sleeve (
4
) being retained in its set position when the drive (
7
) is switched off. |
