Abstract (en)

[origin: US2008022977A1] The invention relates to a device for varying a compression ratio in an internal combustion engine comprising at least one cylinder ( 10 ) provided with a combustion chamber ( 20 ), a movable element provided with a piston ( 14 ) which is translationally displaceable by means of a connecting rod ( 16 ) connectable thereto by an axis ( 24 ) and to the crank pin ( 34 ) of a crankshaft ( 36 ). Said piston moves between a top dead centre and a lower dead centre allowing a dead volume ( 40, 118 ) at the top dead centre of the piston. The inventive device also comprises a rotatable towed cam ( 42 ) which makes it possible to vary the compression ratio and means ( 32, 78 a, 78 b) for controlling the cam displacement. According to said invention, said control means comprises a fluid actuator ( 76 ) provided with a sliding block ( 54 ) arranged in a receiver ( 56 ) which is formed in a support ( 58 ) and limits two fluid chambers ( 75 a, 75 b) connected to at least one closed circuit ( 77; 78 a, 78 b).
