Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015070980A1] The invention relates to a multi-joint crank drive (10) of an internal combustion engine (1), comprising a plurality of coupling members (11) rotatably supported on crank pins (6) of a crankshaft (2) and a plurality of articulation connecting rods (15) rotatably supported on crank pins (19) of an eccentric shaft (8), wherein each of the coupling members (11) is pivotably connected to a piston connecting rod (4) of a piston (3) of the internal combustion engine (1) and to one of the articulation connecting rods (15). According to the invention, in order to reduce free mass forces of the second order, the multi-joint crank drive (10) is designed or adjusted in such a way that a crankshaft rotational angle range of an intake phase is greater than 180 degrees; that a crankshaft rotational angle range of a compression phase is less than 180 degrees; that a crankshaft rotational angle range of an expansion phase is greater than 180 degrees; and that a crankshaft rotational angle range of an exhaust phase is less than 180 degrees. The invention further relates to a method for operating a multi-joint crank drive (10) of an internal combustion engine (1).
