Abstract (en)

[origin: US6675752B1] An internal combustion engine including a cylinder head having gas-exchange valves, at least one camshaft supported on the cylinder head, which camshaft is driven by a crankshaft to actuate corresponding gas-exchange vales on the cylinder head, and a camshaft adjuster arranged on the camshaft. The adjuster has a hydraulic pressure chamber and is configured to use hydraulic pressure to rotate position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft to change control times of the gas-exchange valves. A feed device for hydraulic pressure is provided on the camshaft adjuster and is configured as a component separate from the cylinder head. The feed device has a ring for each camshaft, each ring having two grooves, each of the grooves being connected via associated hydraulic pressure channels in the feed device to a hydraulic pressure valve. Each ring is arranged to surround a section of the camshaft. Each surrounded section of the camshaft has two ring-shaped grooves, each of which is aligned with one of the grooves of the corresponding ring to form a pair. Each groove/ring-shaped groove pair of a ring is connected via associated hydraulic pressure channels in the camshaft to the hydraulic pressure chamber of the camshaft adjuster mounted on the camshaft.
