Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for actuating a gas exchange valve for internal combustion engines, comprising an electromagnetic actuator which is float-mounted in a cylinder head, which is supported on a play compensation element and which has an opening magnet and a closing magnet. An armature is located between the pole faces of said magnets in such a way that that it can be axially displaced in relation to the valve axis. The electromagnetic actuator acts upon a valve shaft either directly or by means of an armature tappet. The inventive device also comprises one pre-stressed valve spring which acts upon the gas exchange valve in the opening direction and one pre-stressed valve spring which acts upon the same in the closing direction. Said springs are arranged between the actuator and the gas exchange valve and are supported with one end on the valve shaft or the armature tappet, via a spring plate. The valve spring which acts in the direction of opening is supported with its free end on the actuator. According to the invention, the valve spring which acts in the direction of closing is supported with its free end directly or indirectly on the actuator.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a defect of former technology by improving a changeable support element 1 for a valve actuation device regulating a connection position capable of creating connection play of a connection means 6 with associating with an entrained surface 7 and provided with a height position stopper means 10. SOLUTION: At least one thin wall ring member provided with a slit 11 provided as the height position stopper means 10 is inserted in an outer circumference wall 12 of the housing 2 with putting the slit 11 in front in parallel with a lateral direction flat surface of the support element 1. At least one window 13 is provided on the housing 2. A ring member provided with a suitable inner circumference wall segment 14 projects through the window 13. A longitudinal groove or an annular groove 16 is extendingly provided on an outer circumference wall 15 of an inner element 4. Each inner circumference wall segment 14 enters the longitudinal groove and the annular groove. A lower side 18 of the inner circumference wall segment 14 butts on a lower end part 17 of the inner circumference wall segment to regulate the connection position. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable a valve stopping device to be formed in a small size, by constituting the device so that a check valve in an oil hydraulic lifter may be opened by a rod responsively actuated to the pressure of oil. CONSTITUTION:An oil hydraulic lifter 14 slidably arranges in its body 20 a tappet 21 operated by a cam 12. And the lifter 14, arranging a plunger 22 in the tappet 21 and forming a pressure oil chamber 35 and a reservoir chamber 36, controls a passage 23 between the both chambers by a ball 24 in a check valve. While a rod 29 receiving a control pressure from one side is arranged in the body 20, moving the ball 24 of the check valve to an opening position by operating a valve 34 to supply the control pressure when the action of a valve is stopped. The lifter can be formed is a small size because no solenoid is used for controlling the ball 24.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the strength of the oil pressure tappet and to faciliate the shaping of the body of the oil pressure tappet by a method wherein a plurality of parts for forming the oil pressure tappet are manufactured separately and then connected by welding. CONSTITUTION:The body 15 of the oil pressure tappet sliding within a hole in the cylinder head 2a is shaped in such a manner that the upper part 15a and the lower part 15b of the body 15 are manufactured separately and then both of the parts are welded together as at 26. A cylinder 4 for forming a high pressure chamber 9 is slidably supported on an inner cover provided on the lower part 15b of the tappet body 15 and one end of an air intake and exhaust valve is pressed by the outer end surface 4a of the cylinder 4. Further, a plunger 6 is provided within the cylinder 4 with the upper end of the cylinder contacting with the upper part 15a of the tappet body 15 and a reservoir 8 is formed within the plunger 6a.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To damp the sound of valve element's seating and prevent inhaling of air by maintaining the effective oil amount so as to cover any necessary oil amount at the starting time of engine. CONSTITUTION:A bushing 27 with large wall thickness is installed between an oil tappet and the support part 8 on crack case side, and a cylindrical oil passage 23 in communication with the main oil passage is put in communication with the oil chamber 19 side through a hole 28 provided at the lowermost part of the bushing 27. A recess 29 with large capacity in communication with the cylindrical oil passage 23 is formed in the outside circumference of bushing in a location aside the communication hole 28. An ample quantity of oil stays in the oil chamber 19 and recess 29 when the engine is at a standstill, so that the oil chamber 17 can be filled with necessary amount of oil at the time of starting in any unfavorable condition.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make enough the wear resistance of an expansible/contractible rubber bag in the reservoir of a lash adjuster for the valve mechanism of an internal combustion engine, by making the bag of rubber mixed with Teflon at a prescribed ratio to increase the rigidity of the bag. CONSTITUTION:When the expansible/contractible part of a rubber bag 34 is expander or contracted, the tips 34c, 34d, 34e of the lower Y-shaped part of the bag act as fulcra and the rubber bag is rubbed on the inside part 20d of a plunger 20. Since the bag 34 is made of rubber mixed with 2 to 3wt% of Teflon, the wear resistance of the bag is high enough. When the presure of a pressure chamber 27 has become negative, a check ball 29 is separated from a valve seat 32 despite the tension of a spring 31 to suck oil from a reservoir 25. Even if the force of the suction acts, an oil passage is not shut off, because of the rigidity of the bottom of the rubber bag 34.
Abstract:
A high-pressure oil pump roller tappet, used for automobile fuel injection system, mounted between the driving cam and the tappet. The roller tappet includes a shell, a holder, a roller, and a pin. Planes A are arranged on both sides of the seam on lateral sides of the shell. Holes I are arranged at symmetrical positions on two planes A. Holes II are arranged on symmetrical positions on vertical plates. The roller is located in the middle of the pin. Welding has no requirement on the thickness of the plate. The weight can be controlled effectively, reducing inertia force, friction, and wear, improving engine efficiency. The shell and holder are designed as being separate, ensuring that the shell subjects to lateral force as little as possible when the holder subjects to a force, such that the shell is less likely to vibrate. Thus, the shell avoids the abrasion.
Abstract:
A hydraulic lash adjuster having a reduced number of elements, yet capable of suppressing air from infusing into a high-pressure chamber (28). A plunger (14) is slidably fitted in a body (13). A reservoir (24) is formed in the plunger (14). The plunger's head portion (19) is formed with a communication hole (25) for communicating its interior with its exterior. A high-pressure chamber (28) is formed in the body (13) and between the plunger's bottom (20) and the bottom of the body (13). An oil supply hole (40) is formed in the peripheral wall (21) of the plunger. A valve mechanism (42) is provided at the plunger's bottom (20), between the body (13) and the plunger (14) via a return spring (41). Provided on the inner periphery of the plunger (14) is an inclined area (51b), subjected to impingement of oil jet ji ejected from the oil supply hole (40) and serving as an impingement area, such that the impingement area (51b) is more inclined to fall in the direction of the ejected oil as the inclined area (51b) nears the plunger's head portion (19).
