PURPOSE:To ensure appropriate intake filling quantity by providing at least two intake valves per one air cylinder, and approximately fixedly closing at least one intake valve, and also controlling the other intake valve so as to gradually increase its lift quantity according to the increment of a load, in an engine low rotation area. CONSTITUTION:In such a device that the valve lift quantity and valve opening period of a pair of intake valves 14, 15 are changed by axially moving a camshaft 3 rotatively mounted on a cylinder head 1 by the operation of an oil pressure cylinder 9, the opposed intake valves 14, 15 are lifted through tappets 17, 17 by means of swinging cams 25, 25 to be swingably driven by driving cams 22, 23 provide on the camshaft 3. Each of driving cams 22, 23 is formed in such a manner that the intake valve 14 is approximately fixdely closed, while the intake valve 15 is made to continuously gradually increase at least one of the lift quantity or the valve opening period according to the increment of an engine load, in an engine low rotation area, hereby, appropriate intake filling quantity is always ensured.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To provide a means capable of supplying working oil to a valve timing control device of a hydraulic drive type at proper hydraulic pressure and in a proper supply amount regardless of engine speed. CONSTITUTION:On a camshaft 3, a cam 13 for pump driving with a tapered cam face extending forward is provided. To move the camshaft 3 in the longitudinal direction, a valve timing control device 7 driven by working oil supplied from an oil pump 15 is provided. Hereby, at the time of high rotation, the camshaft 3 is arranged at a front position by the valve timing control device 7, and at this time, the oil pump 15 is driven at a rear part of the cam for pump driving, that is, at a part where cam diameter is small, and accordingly, excessive rise of a discharge amount and discharge pressure is prevented. Conversely, at the time of low rotation, the camshaft 3 is arranged at a rear position, the oil pump 15 is driven at a front part of the cam 13 for pump driving, and a sufficient discharge amount and discharge pressure are secured.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent deterioration of engine performance and provide a compact valve system by providing a tapered roller being in contact with a driving cam on an oscillating can, and driving the oscillating can by means of the driving can through the roller. CONSTITUTION:A tapered driving can 12 which is rotated synchronously to an engine is provided. An oscillating cam 18 is driven by the driving cam 12. A swing arm 26 lifts an intake valve 8 and an exhaust valve 10 following the oscillating can 18. A tapered roller 22 being in contact with the driving cam 12 is provided on the oscillating cam 18. The oscillating cam 18 is driven by the driving cam 12 through the roller 22. Since the driving cam 12 is in rolling contact with the roller 22 of the oscillating cam 18, sliding resistance is remarkably reduced. A lamp part 17 of the driving cam 12 is contact with the roller 22, while a contact between the oscillating cam 18 and the swing arm 26 approaches the contact between the swing arm 26, and valves 8, 10. Engine performance is thus prevented from deteriorating, and a compact valve system is obtained.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obviate the necessity of a driving means such as a large output power cylinder or motor for axially moving a cam shaft in an engine in which a cam shaft incorporating a tapered cam is axially moved so as to change the valve timing. CONSTITUTION:First and second drive gears 41, 42 are rotatably fitted on first and second cam shafts 10, 12 which are rotated in reverse directions, respectively, and first and second clutches 47, 48 are adapted to engage these cam gears with the respective cam shafts. A slide member 50 adapted to be axially moved together with the cam shafts 10, 12 in one unit body, is fitted thereon with a driven gear 53 meshed with the first and second driving gear. If one of the first and second electromagnetic clutches engages the associated one of the first and second driving gears with the associated one of the cam shaft, both cam shafts are axially moved in a specific direction by the rotation of the associated one of the cam shafts through the intermediary of the slide member.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To supply high oil pressure to a lash adjuster and a variable valve timing mechanism for accurate operation by connecting an oil passage for the variable valve timing mechanism and an oil passage for a cam journal part to an oil introduction passage while connecting an oil passage to the lash adjuster. CONSTITUTION:A first oil introduction passage 15 is communicated with a variable valve timing oil passage 18 for a variable valve timing mechanism 13 inside a cylinder head 2. The first oil introduction passage 15 is also connected to cam journal oil passages 17, 17 on an intake side and an exhaust side via throttle parts 21, 21 respectively. A second oil introduction passage 16 is, on the other hand, communicated with lash adjuster oil passages 19, 19. With this constitution, supply of high oil pressure to the variable valve timing mechanism 13 and a lash adjuster arranged in the cylinder head 2 can be secured.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve distribution of fuel as well as to reduce flow resistance by forming a cross sectional shape of each of branch parts so that the radius of the inner circumferential part is larger than the radius of the outer circumferential part when a branch middle part of a port is cut in perpendicular to the flow direction. CONSTITUTION:At least an intake port 5 which opens in a combustion chamber 4 of an engine is formed by a common part 51, a branch middle part 54 and each of branch parts 52 and 53. Also, a tip end part of a fuel injection valve 3 is inserted into an escape groove 9 communicated with the intake port 5. In this case, when the intake port 5 is cut in perpendicular to the flow direction of intake air at least at the branch middle part 54, a cross sectional shape of each of the branch parts 52 and 53 is formed so that the radius Ra of the inner circumferential part is in the shape of a semicircle larger than the radius Rb of the outer circumferential part. And each of the branch parts 52 and 53 is formed so that the common part 51 in the shape of a circle is gradually separated in the half-cut state. By this, flow resistance f the intake air is reduced and distribution of fuel is improved.
