Abstract:
In a variable valve system for an internal combustion engine and its driving mechanism, the variable valve system comprises: a variable mechanism that revolves a control axle to change an operation characteristic of an engine valve; a projection section projected at an outer peripheral predetermined position in an axial direction of the control axle and on a tip of which a fixture section is formed; a fixture member fixed in a grasped state for the projection member via an engagement member engaged on the fixture section; a driving mechanism configured to provide a rotating force for the control axle via the fixture member; and control means (a control section) for controlling the driving mechanism in accordance with a driving state of the engine.
Abstract:
A method for calibrating a distance sensor of a rotary actuator device for controlling a charge cycle valve of an internal combustion engine. The rotary actuator device includes a controllable electric motor having an actuator element for actuating the charge cycle valve, two energy storage means acting in opposite drive directions on the charge cycle valve, a control and regulating device which controls the electric motor with regard to its rotor angle according to a stored setpoint path and a distance sensor for detecting the rotor position. At least one state variable of the electric motor is measured, the at least one state variable being compared with a reference variable. If there is a deviation between the variables being compared, the stored setpoint path and/or the distance sensor signal detected is/are altered as a function of the state variable.
Abstract:
A variable valve timing mechanism for controlling at least one biased valve comprising a guide assembly having a mounting surface and a spaced apart upper guide surface. The guide assembly includes spaced apart longitudinal guides; a closing stop positioned on the mounting surface and a stop surface. An opening stop is positioned on the guide assembly and has a stop surface. A valve activator is movably positioned within the guide assembly and in operable contact with the biased valve. The valve activator has first and second stop surfaces to contact a respective closing stop and opening stop, and includes an angled contact surface. A drive ram is movably positioned within said guide assembly and in contact with the upper guide surface and the valve activator. The drive ram has an angled drive surface positioned for contacting the valve activator and is connected to a drive for imparting reciprocating motion thereto. The drive is synchronized with the operation of the valve.
Abstract:
An engine valve driving device includes a rocker arm attached at one end to a valve stem and carrying at its opposite end a roller which engages the surfaces of a stepped cam plate. The cam plate has a horizontal surface which includes upper and lower portions joined by an inclined portion so that horizontal reciprocating motion operates the rocker arm and the connected valve. The cam plate is connected to a rotary cam crank shaft so that rotation of the crank shaft produces linear reciprocating motion in the cam plate. The connection between the cam shaft and the cam plate is adjustable, as by a hydraulic cylinder, to vary the gap between the cam plate and the cam shaft and to thereby vary the timing of the motion of the valve with respect to the rotation of the cam shaft. In an alternative form, the connection between the cam and the cam shaft may be a pivotal lever, with the pivot point of the lever being movable to provide timing adjustment.
Abstract:
Actuator device of a sliding cam system, having at least one sliding cam (2) and having an engagement pin (9) which protrudes out of a housing (6), wherein the housing (6) can be fastened to a component of a cylinder head or to the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, and it is possible for contact to be made with the engagement pin (9) by at least one groove (3) of the sliding cam system, which groove (3) has at least one ejection ramp (4), and wherein, within the housing (6), the engagement pin (9) has a permanent holding magnet (11) and, adjoining it, is controlled by a stationary coil core (9) which can be magnetized by an electric coil (7), and the engagement pin (9) is spring-loaded in the direction of the sliding cam (2), and wherein an actuating device is installed at least at that end region of the engagement pin (9) which faces the sliding cam (2), which actuating device is active in the region of the run-out of the ejection ramp (4) to the high circle (18) and generates an additional force on the engagement pin (9) in the direction of the housing (6).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a valve drive system for an internal combustion engine, the valve drive system being provided between its at least one lifting valve (12) and its camshaft (34) in order to control the variable lift sequence. The valve drive system comprises a pressure-transmission arrangement which presses against the lifting valve (12), and a contact member (35) which abuts a cam (16) on the camshaft (34) and, as it changes position owing to the rotation of the cam (16), brings about an oscillating movement of the pressure-transmission arrangement. The pressure-transmission arrangement has a contact surface (80) via which pressure is transmitted. The contact surface (80), which can pivot about the bearing axis (14), comprises a first surface region (80.1) which has a circular-cylindrical curvature having the bearing axis (14) as the longitudinal axis of the cylinder, and a second surface region (80.2) which adjoins the first surface region (80.1) and has a non-circular-cylindrical curvature.

Abstract:
Ledit dispositif comporte un engrenage rotatif à plusieurs éléments qui comprend un carter où est logée la soupape, une came tournante, reliée audit carter par une articulation tournante et dont l'entraînement provient du vilebrequin, un élément intermédiaire, actionné par la came via une articulation à came, et un élément de sortie, qui abute d'une part contre le carter via une articulation, qui coopère d'autre part avec l'élément intermédiaire via une articulation, et qui transmet le mouvement à la soupape. On obtient une structure plus rigide, plus simple à assembler et de dimensions moindres de la manière suivante: l'élément intermédiaire abute contre le carter via une articulation à came, la came de ladite articulation à came, agencée sur l'élément intermédiaire, comporte une section en encoche et une section de commande, et la position, soit de la came de ladite articulation à came, qui abute contre le carter, soit de l'articulation tournante de la came tournante, peut être modifiée pendant le fonctionnement du moteur.
