Device for controlling charge exchange valves

A device is proposed for controlling gas-exchange valves, at least one of which is assigned as intake valve ( 11 ) and at least one of which as discharge valve ( 12 ) to a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine includes electrohydraulic valve actuators (...

Zusammenfassung:A device is proposed for controlling gas-exchange valves, at least one of which is assigned as intake valve ( 11 ) and at least one of which as discharge valve ( 12 ) to a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine includes electrohydraulic valve actuators ( 18 ) assigned in each case to a gas-exchange valve for its actuation, and a pressure-supply reservoir ( 26 ) having a high-pressure pump and a pressure-storage unit, which supplies the valve-actuators ( 18 ) with a fluid at high pressure. To reduce the energy consumed by the control device, the pressure-storage unit has two separate high-pressure reservoirs ( 31, 32 ), one of which is connected to the valve actuator ( 18 ) for the at least one intake valve ( 11 ) and the other to the valve actuator ( 18 ) for the at least one discharge valve ( 12 ). With the aid of a switching member ( 30 ), the high-pressure pump ( 27 ) is alternatively able to be connected to one or the other high-pressure reservoir ( 31, 32 ) and to a return line ( 37 ) leading to a fluid reservoir ( 29 ).
