Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021111088A1] The invention relates to a hydraulic control system (3) for a variable compression ratio engine, comprising: - a control cylinder (30) comprising a piston (30a), a body (30b) in which two hydraulic chambers (31, 32) with equivalent sections are defined on either side of the piston (30a) and a return device (34) arranged in one of the chambers (31), - a hydraulic control circuit (37) comprising: - at least one duct (37b, 37c) connecting the two chambers (31,32) to each other, and a controlled fluid discharging device (372) for establishing or blocking a fluid communication between the chambers, - at least one duct (37d) connecting one of the chambers (32) to a low-pressure oil supply (60), and a refill valve (373), - at least one duct (37e) connecting an oil outlet (70) to at least one of the chambers (32), and a relief valve (374).
