VARIABLE COMPRESSION RATIO DEVICE

The present invention relates to an electromechanical device for incorporation into the design and manufacture of internal combustion engines, which comprises the joining of two specific mechanisms, the first being an elaborate mechanism, called the cam actuator, which makes it possible, through the movement of these cams, to alter, under the control of an electronic control unit, the relative position of the crankshaft with respect to the top dead center of the pistons, inside the cylinder, increasing or decreasing the compression ratio according to the requirements of the engine. The second mechanism is the rotational coupler, formed by an internally-toothed gear, the ring gear, and a shaft with external gear teeth, the sprocket, to be applied at one or both ends of the crankshaft of the engines.
