Abstract:
A continuous variable valve lift device includes a rotatable input shaft, an input cam rotating with the input shaft, a control shaft rotatably disposed parallel to the input shaft, an input rocker mounted to, and rotatable round, the control shaft so as to be in contact with the input cam to have a torque forwarded thereto from the input cam, a control link mounted to the control shaft eccentrically, an input link having one end connected to the input rocker, a connecting rod connected between the other end of the input link and the control link, and a valve operating unit mounted to rotate as one unit with the control shaft for operating the valve, the valve operating unit having a control long hole for movably inserting the connecting rod therein, for improving the fuel consumption at a low load operation range of the engine.
Abstract:
A reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having at least one camshaft with at least one sliding cam element with sliding cams and sliding grooves (2 and 2a) intersecting in an X-shape, wherein the sliding cam element with internal teeth (4) is mounted for conjoint rotation but axially movably on a toothed shaft (5), and wherein a guide element is fixed between the sliding grooves (2 and 2a), which guide element has elastically movable switch blades (10 and 10a) that are guided on a rotary joint plate (12) mounted in the intersection area. The engine further has an actuator device with at least one actuator pin (9) movable out of a housing, wherein the actuator device can be mounted on a component of a cylinder head or on the cylinder head of the reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, and, after having moved out, the actuator pin (9) comes into connection with at least one sliding groove (2 or 2a) of the sliding cam element, said guide element being constructed as a C-shaped spring (6) and fixed, at least at the ends thereof, on the toothed shaft (5).
Abstract:
A continuously variable valve lift apparatus includes an input cam disposed to a camshaft and rotating, a follower supporting portion rotatably disposed to the camshaft for changing a relative angle of the follower with respect to the camshaft, a follower that includes a center shaft, is connected with the follower supporting portion via the center shaft, and pivots around the center shaft by receiving rotation movement of the input cam, a straight line guide, an output cam that contacts the follower and reciprocates along the straight line guide, and a valve opening unit that is opened by pushing of the output cam.
Abstract:
An apparatus for operating the valves on internal combustion engines with a variable valve lift curve has a multimember, rotary gear, which comprises the valve-guiding case, a rotary cam connected to the case via a pivot joint and whose drive is derived from the crankshaft, an intermediate member operated by the cam by a curve joint and a driven member, which is supported by a joint on the case and operatively connected to the intermediate member via a joint and which transfers the movement to the valve. The intermediate member is supported by a curve joint on the case, with the curve of the curve joint, located on the intermediate member, having a portion forming a locking device and also a control portion. The position of the curve supported on the case and associated with this curve joint or the position of the pivot joint of the cam is adjustable during operation.
Abstract:
A torsion assembly for providing controllable torsion to a camshaft, including: a spring assembly including a first spring; and, a contact element arranged to engage at least one lobe for the camshaft. For a locked mode: the contact element is arranged to be displaced by the at least one cam lobe; the contact element is arranged to compress the first spring; and the first spring is arranged to impart a first torque to the camshaft via the contact element. For an unlocked mode, the contact element is arranged to be displaced by the at least one cam lobe and the contact element is arranged to impart a second torque, less than the first torque, to the cam shaft via the contact element.

Abstract:
A variably operated valve system includes: a planar section cut out an outer peripheral surface of a control shaft in order for a linkage member to be grasped from an axial direction of the control shaft; a bolt hole drilled along a diameter direction of the control shaft via an oil passage from the planar section and having a female screw formed at a position of the control shaft which is an opposite side to the planar section; and a limitation section having a convexity section disposed on either one of the linkage member and the planar section and a recess section disposed on the other of the linkage member and the planar section to be fitted into the convexity section, a fixture bolt being screwed and tightened to the bolt hole via a bolt inserting hole of the linkage member to fix the linkage member to the control shaft.

Abstract:
A variable valve actuation mechanism includes a control shaft and a rocker arm. A second end of the rocker arm is connected to the control shaft. The rocker arm carries a roller for engaging a cam lobe of an engine camshaft. A link arm is pivotally coupled at a first end thereof to the first end of the rocker arm. An output cam is pivotally coupled to the second end of the link arm, and engages a corresponding cam follower of the engine. A spring biases the roller into contact with the cam lobe and biases the output cam toward a starting angular orientation.
