  • Patent number: 6805080
    Abstract: A device for changing the control times of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine, including a drive wheel in driving connection with a crankshaft and a vane wheel connected to rotate with a camshaft. A plurality of hydraulic working spaces are formed within the device and are divided by the vanes of the vane wheel into respectively A and B pressure chambers. The vane wheel can be mechanically coupled to the drive wheel by a locking element, which is displaceable by a spring element into a locking position within a seat in one of the sidewalls of the drive wheel, and is hydraulically moved into an unlocked position in the vane wheel upon application of pressure to the pressure chambers. The locking element is a generally uniform cylindrical locking pin, and is arranged in an axial bore in the hub of the vane wheel. The longitudinal axis of the axial bore has a smallest possible distance from the longitudinal mid-axis of the device.

  • Patent number: 6613221
    Abstract: A sieve filter for fluid lines, especially for hydraulic pressure lines (2) in internal combustion engines which is formed of a hollow cylindrical main body (3) with a fluid inlet (4) and a fluid outlet (5), and of a fine mesh filter element (6) for through flow by fluid which has a bypass function when the filter element (6) is stopped up or filtering highly viscous fluid. The sieve filter (1) is biased by a spring element (7), and is insertable together with the spring element (7), between two axially spaced opposing surfaces (8, 9) inside the pressure line (2) such that its fluid inlet (4) and the spring element (7) are prestressed against the opposing surfaces (8, 9), whereby the main body (3) of the sieve filter (1) closes a bypass fluid channel passing the filter element (6) which is clearable through an axial displacement of the main body (3) against the force of the spring element (7) resulting from the rise of fluid pressure on the filter element.

  • Patent number: 6613220
    Abstract: A sieve filter (1) for fluid lines or conduits which are formed of an annular disk-like fluid inlet (3) and an annular disk-like fluid outlet (4) with a fine mesh filter element arranged there between that is braced by stiffening bars (5), and which has a bypass function when the filter element (6) is stopped up or with highly viscous fluid. The fluid inlet (3) of the sieve filter (1) is constructed with the bypass function in that it has a smaller outside diameter than the fluid outlet (4) and is sealed off by a pressure relief valve (7). When the filter element (6) is stopped up or with highly viscous fluid in the line, the fluid inlet (3) is cleared by opening the pressure relief valve (7) as a bypass, through which the fluid is conducted unfiltered to the fluid outlet (4) of the sieve filter (1).

  • Patent number: 6609486
    Abstract: A device for changing the control times of gas exchange valves in an internal combustion engine including a crankshaft driven component, and a camshaft component driven by a camshaft and affixed thereto is provided. The crankshaft driven component is connected to the camshaft component for power transmission via two pressure chambers. The pressure action causes a relative rotation or hydraulic adjustment of the camshaft component relative to the crankshaft driven component. In addition, the device has an impulse generator wheel fixed to the camshaft component, for ascertaining the position of the camshaft, and a spring attached to the two components for rotating the camshaft to a preferred position for starting the internal combustion engine. The spring is arranged outside the device in a hollow space located between the impulse generator wheel and the axial side facing the wheel, and is enclosed at least on two sides by the impulse-generator wheel.
