Traction mechanism operation of an internal combustion engine with a first traction mechanism spanned in a triangle

摘要

Traction drive (1) of an internal combustion engine, with a crankshaft (2) and an intermediate shaft (3), both of which are in force-transmitting operative contact with a first traction mechanism (7), and with a camshaft (6) which, like the intermediate shaft (3) is in force-transmitting operative contact with a second traction device (8), an electric machine (4) with a machine shaft (5) being present which is in force-transmitting operative contact with the first traction device (7), characterized in that the machine shaft (5), the crankshaft (2) and the intermediate shaft (3) are each located at one of three corners of a polygon spanned by the first traction means (7), two clamping devices (10) acting on the first traction means (7) on both sides of the machine shaft (5) are provided.
