Electromotive device for operating gas exchange valves

The electromotive device for actuating gas exchange valves according to claim 1, wherein the valve shaft ends (9;

• 15) actuated by the lever arrangement (8;
• 14) are associated with gas exchange valves (12;
• 18) of a cylinder (10;
• 16) of an internal combustion engine, wherein the gas exchange valves have non-overlapping opening times.

The electromotive device for actuating gas exchange valves according to claim 1, wherein the valves shaft ends (9;

• 15) actuated by the lever arrangement (8;
• 14) are associated with gas exchange valves (12;
• 18) of different cylinders (10;
• 16) of an internal combustion engine.

Method for using of several electromotive devices according to claim 1, comprising the steps of

• providing a lever arrangement (8;
• 14) comprising additional connecting elements,
• allowing actuation of several valve shaft ends (9;
• 15), and
• arranging the rotary actuator perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the internal combustion engine whose gas exchange valves (12;
• 18) are actuated, and
• reluctance motor (1) actuating the gas exchange valves of multi-cylinder internal combustion engines in a space-saving manner.

An electromotive device for actuating gas exchange valves in internal combustion engines, comprising

• a rotary actuator,
• a lever arrangement (8;
• 14),
• one or more gas exchange valves (12;
• 18), the one or more gas exchange valves having two or more valve shaft ends (9;
• 15),
• wherein the rotary actuator applies via the lever arrangement (8;
• 14) forces to the one or alternatingly two or more valve shafts end/s (9;
• 15) of one or more gas exchange valve/s (12;
• 18),
• wherein the rotary actuator is implemented as a reluctance motor (1) having a cylindrical iron rotor (2) and wherein on the periphery there are arranged alternatingly magnetized permanent magnet segments (3).
