Abstract
An adjusting device for adjusting valve clearance of a charge-cycle valve of an internal combustion machine is provided. The adjusting device includes a pivoted rocker lever, at one end of which an actuation element is positioned configured to transfer a force to the charge-cycle valve. A transmission element is attached to the actuation element at an opposite end to the charge-cycle valve of which a sleeve area is positioned, which is used to support the transmission element regarding the actuation element. A method for adjusting valve clearance of a charge-cycle valve of an internal combustion machine using an adjusting device is also provided.
Claims3
An adjusting device for a valve clearance of a charge-cycle valve in an internal combustion machine, comprising:
- a pivoted rocker lever, at one end of which an actuation element is positioned and configured to transfer a force to the charge-cycle valve, and
- a transmission element is attached to the actuation element at an opposite end to the charge-cycle valve of which a sleeve area is positioned, the sleeve area which is used to support the transmission element with respect to the actuation element,
- wherein the transmission element has an internal area and an external area, and the internal area has a female thread and the external area has a male thread for supporting the transmission element with respect to the actuation element, and
- wherein the transmission element uses the female thread with a pre-stressed bolt to support itself at the actuation element, and the transmission element uses the male thread to support itself at a thread of the actuation element.
A method for adjusting a valve clearance of a charge-cycle valve of an internal combustion machine using an adjusting device comprising a pivoted rocker lever, at one end of which an actuation element is attached and configured to transfer an actuation force to the charge-cycle valve, the method comprising the steps of:
- attaching a transmission element to the actuation element, wherein the transmission element has an internal area and an external area,
- attaching a first end portion of a clamping element to the internal area of the transmission element, and
- bracing the transmission element with the actuation element by applying a torque to the clamping element until a second end portion of the clamping element contacts the actuation element.
