  • Valvetrain for an Internal Combustion Engine, in Particular of a Motor Vehicle
    Publication number: 20200325804
    Abstract: A valvetrain for an internal combustion engine has a camshaft rotatable about an axis of rotation, a sliding-block element connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the camshaft and displaceable in the axial direction of the camshaft relative thereto, which sliding-block element has an outer circumferential jacket surface with a shift gate via which a rotational movement of the sliding-block element can be converted into a displacement of the sliding-block element in the axial direction of the camshaft relative thereto, and a shift rod at least partially accommodated in the camshaft and displaceable by the sliding-block element in the axial direction of the camshaft relative thereto and via which shift rod an actuation of a gas exchange valve can be influenced.

  • Valve Gear for a Combustion Engine of a Motor Vehicle
    Publication number: 20200325802
    Abstract: A valve gear has a cam shaft with a firing cam and a braking cam. A first cam follower is allocated to the firing cam with the first cam follower being provided in a firing operation for actuating a gas exchange valve. A second cam follower is allocated to the braking cam with the second cam follower being provided in a braking operation for actuating the gas exchange valve. A changeover device switches between the operations and has a tilting lever mount having a pivotably mounted mounting element on which a tilting lever belonging to the first cam follower and a tilting lever belonging to the second cam follower are pivotably mounted. The tilting lever mount has two mounting screws respectively having a ball head and the ball heads each form a ball joint together with a ball head receiver of the allocated tilting lever.

  • Ground pad module for charging a power-driven vehicle
    Patent number: 10800272
    Abstract: A ground pad module for charging a power-driven vehicle is designed to be arranged on an underground accessible to the vehicle. The ground pad module includes a fan unit arranged within the ground pad module and configured to cool at least one electrical and/or electronic assembly arranged within the ground pad module by an air flow that can be supplied to the ground pad module from an exterior area. An inlet channel of the air flow is designed such that if the ground pad module is arranged as intended, water penetrating through an inlet opening of the inlet channel must overcome at least one step in a component of a flow direction of the water before it reaches the fan unit and/or the assembly with the component facing a direction opposite to the force of gravity.

  • Valve drive device
    Patent number: 10794233
    Abstract: A valve drive device, in particular for an internal combustion engine, includes a support element fixed to a housing and at least one axially shiftable cam unit allocated to a valve. The cam unit has at least three cam tracks. At least one switching unit which is a displacement body is provided to displace at least one part of the cam unit in the direction of a first actuation direction for axial shifting. The displacement body displaces at least one part of the cam unit in the direction of a second actuation direction opposing the first actuation direction.

  • Engine block for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle and method of manufacturing an engine block for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 10787989
    Abstract: An engine block for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle has a cylinder within which a piston can be movably accommodated between a top dead center and a bottom dead center and has a cylinder bore, the internal cylinder diameter of which expands in the direction of the bottom dead center. The internal cylinder diameter expands only below the region in which a piston system change takes place during operation of the internal combustion engine. The internal cylinder diameter tapers from the top dead center to the region.

  • Method for controlling a positive gearshift unit
    Patent number: 10781913
    Abstract: A method for controlling a positive gearshift unit includes, in an engagement procedure, a coupling element, which is connected to a first coupling half and which has a beveled coupling toothing, is brought into engagement with a blocking element, which has a blocking toothing and which is connected to a second coupling half, and is brought into engagement with a catch element, which is connected to the second coupling half, which has a beveled catch toothing, and which is able to move circumferentially with respect to the blocking element. In the engagement procedure, a touch-point is set which comes after a crossing of a synchronous rotational speed in a rotational speed difference profile.

  • Shelving system
    Patent number: 10780832
    Abstract: A shelving system for a motor vehicle has at least one shelf, which includes a base unit with a base element supported in a base position allocated to the base element on a support element and is mounted on a pivoting axis. The base element can be shifted around the axis out of the base position allocated to it into an access position allocated to the base element, in which the base element is raised by the at least one support element. A further base element is supported in a base position allocated to the further base element on the support element and is mounted on a further pivoting axis arranged on the side of the support element opposite the first pivoting axis. The further base element can be shifted into an access position, in which the further base element is raised by the support element.
