Abstract: The disclosure relates to a variable valve drive of a combustion piston engine with at least one gas exchange valve per cylinder, wherein each valve stroke is specified by a primary and secondary cam and transmitted to the gas exchange valve via a switchable cam follower that includes a primary lever and a secondary lever. The primary lever is in contact with the primary cam, and the secondary lever is in contact with the paired secondary cam and can be coupled to the primary lever by a coupling element. The coupling element includes a coupling pin, a locking pin, and an unlocking pin. Axially outer ends of the locking and unlocking pin protrude out of the secondary lever and are coupled to a shift rod via respective connection elements, the shift rod being longitudinally movable out of a rest position into a shift position by a linear actuator.

Abstract: A variable valve train with at least two functionally identical gas-exchange valves per cylinder, having primary cam and a secondary cam generated valve strokes that are transmitted by a switchable cam follower selectively to the gas-exchange valves. The respective cam follower has a primary lever in tapping contact with the primary cam and in switching contact with the gas-exchange valve and a secondary lever that is in tapping contact with the secondary cam and is coupleable with the primary lever by a control pin. The respective control pins are connected by connecting elements to respective first and second elongated switching elements, which are arranged above the cam followers parallel to the camshaft and are displaceable longitudinally by a linear actuator from a home into a switched position. The control pins of the cam follower of functionally identical gas-exchange valves are in switching connection with a respective one of the first and second elongated switching elements for common movement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a variable valve drive of an internal combustion engine, comprising at least one functionally identical gas exchange valve per cylinder, the valve stroke of which is specified by at least one primary cam and at least one secondary cam of a camshaft. The valve stroke can be selectively transmitted to the at least one gas exchange valve by a switchable cam follower which has a primary lever and a secondary lever. A coupling element of the switchable cam follower is designed as a coupling pin which is guided in a transverse bore of the primary follower, which can be moved into an opposite coupling bore of the secondary lever by a switching pin. An outer end of the switching pin is connected to a switching rod via a connecting element, the switching rod arranged parallel to the camshaft and longitudinally movable by an actuator.
