Publication number: 20230417196Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine includes first operating the internal combustion engine in a first operating state and setting a second operating state, different from the first operating state, by advancing the exhaust camshaft relative to the crankshaft by a value in comparison with the first operating state. The exhaust valve is actuated by the exhaust cam and a decompression lift of the exhaust camshaft, whereupon, in the second operating state, the cylinder assumes a function of a decompression brake by compressing a first cylinder charge in the cylinder within a respective operating cycle of the internal combustion engine and then decompressing it by a decompression travel of the exhaust valve in a region of a charge exchange top dead center. In the second operating state, the intake camshaft is retarded relative to the crankshaft by a value.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2021Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Alexander ZINK, Marc Oliver WAGNER, Thomas SCHUHMACHER

Patent number: 11378020Abstract: A method for operating a reciprocating internal combustion engine in an engine braking mode includes, in a working cycle of the engine braking mode, a first outlet valve of a first cylinder is closed for a first time, then opened for a first time, and subsequently closed for a second time, and then opened for a second time, in order to thereby discharge gas that has been compressed in the first cylinder from the first cylinder by a cylinder piston. The outlet valve is held open after the first opening and prior to the second closing long enough for the cylinder to be filled with gas that flows out of a second cylinder via at least one outlet channel, where when the engine braking mode is activated, at least one camshaft for activating at least one gas exchange valve of the reciprocating internal combustion engine is adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2016Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Daimler AGInventor: Marc Oliver Wagner

Patent number: 11352914Abstract: A valve train of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a rocker arm assigned to a first combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine where via the rocker arm a gas exchange valve assigned to the first combustion chamber is actuatable. An actuating device is assigned to a second combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine where via the actuating device, by supplying the actuating device with a hydraulic fluid, the second combustion chamber is switchable between a firing mode for fired operation and a braking mode for an engine braking operation of the internal combustion engine. A supply of the hydraulic fluid to the actuating device assigned to the second combustion chamber is adjustable by the rocker arm assigned to the first combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Marc Oliver Wagner, Josef Astner

Patent number: 11136926Abstract: A method for operating a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine in an engine braking mode includes moving an outlet valve of a first cylinder for a first time into a closed position, subsequently for a first time into an open position, subsequently in a direction of the closed position, and subsequently for a second time into the open position. The outlet valve is held open during the moving in the direction of the closed position for such a long time that the first cylinder is filled with gas which flows via an outlet duct out of a second cylinder. The outlet valve is moved, during the moving in the direction of the closed position, into an intermediate position which lies between the open position and the closed position, where from the intermediate position the outlet valve is moved for the second time into the open position.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Thomas Schuhmacher, Marc Oliver Wagner

Patent number: 10443454Abstract: A valve drive device for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The valve drive device has an axially displaceable cam element and an adjusting device with a first engagement element which displaces the cam element axially into a first switching position and a second engagement element which displaces the cam element axially into a second switching position. The adjusting device has a first slotted guide track in which the first engagement element is guided in the first switching position and a second slotted guide track in which the second engagement element is guided in the second switching position. The first engagement element is positively coupled to the second engagement element. The adjusting device includes a triggering device which holds the first engagement element fixedly in the second switching position counter to a restoring force. A method for axial displacement of a rotating cam element is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Juergen Bauer, Matthias Lahr, Marc Oliver Wagner, Benjamin Zeller
