Abstract:
The invention relates to 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 comprises 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:
The present invention is for the kind of power machines, engines or compressors which have two or more pistons which work against each other, preferably with a common combustion or compression chamber in a stationary cylinder and where the power is transmitted to a rotating movement without an intermediate crankshaft. It is an object of the present invention to obtain such power machine having a simple valve control means. One such device has two parallel plane discs, one stationary disc (8) and one relatively thereto rotating disc (13). The stationary disc (8) is mounted to a housing (9) and the disc (8) in turn has one in its centre positioned cylinder (1) with two end walls (2, 3). In the cylinder there are two pistons (4, 5) which are working pistons of a combustion engine and have a common combustion chamber. At the centre of the cylinder bore adjacent to the upper dead centres, UDC, of the pistons and at opposite sides thereof there are two valves (50, 51). The valve shafts at the ends which are turned only from the cylinder contact a controlling curve or surface (56) which is a part of the rotating disc. On the control curve there are raised parts (57, 58) at which the valves are opened when disc rotates.
Abstract:
A device for internal combustion engines, particularly car engines, allows to vary the opening duration and the lift of the timing valves. The variation results from the utilization of all or part of the profile of the alternating cam (9) of which the motion about the axis (14) is provided by the rotating leading cams (10, 11) by contact of the rollers (12) and is transmitted to the roller (8) which acutates with its shaft (13) the rocker arm (3) of the valve (6) returned by the spring (7). The adjustment is carried out by positioning the sprocket wheel (8) by means of the support arms (15) of the shaft (13) which are keyed to the control shaft (14) by means of pins (16).
Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and a rotary electric machine. The internal combustion engine includes a variable valve actuating device configured to change an operation characteristic of an intake valve. The rotary electric machine is configured to generate driving force for propelling the hybrid vehicle. A controller for the hybrid vehicle includes a traveling control unit and a valve actuation control unit. The traveling control unit executes traveling control for causing the hybrid vehicle to travel by using the driving force of the rotary electric machine while stopping the internal combustion engine. The traveling control unit starts up the internal combustion engine while executing the traveling control. The valve actuation control unit controls the variable valve actuating device. The valve actuation control unit, when the internal combustion engine is started up while the traveling control is executed, sets at least one of a valve lift and valve operating angle of the intake valve such that the at least one of the valve lift and valve operating angle of the intake valve when the hybrid vehicle travels at a first vehicle speed is smaller than the corresponding at least one of the valve lift and valve operating angle of the intake valve when the hybrid vehicle travels at a second vehicle speed. The second vehicle speed is lower than the first vehicle speed.

Abstract:
A variable valve timing mechanism (20) for controlling at least one biased valve (16) comprising a guide assembly (10) having a mounting surface (13) and a spaced-apart upper guide surface (12). The guide assembly includes spaced-apart longitudinal guides (11), a closing stop (21) positioned on the mounting surface and a strop surface. An opening stop (22) is positioned on the guide assembly and has a stop surface. A valve activator (25) 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 (28). A drive ram (30) 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 (32) positioned for contacting the valve activator and is connected to a drive (35) for imparting reciprocating motion thereto. The drive is synchronized with the operation of the valve.
Abstract:
The device disclosed has a multiple-element rotary transmission with a housing which accommodates the valve, a rotary cam connected to the housing via a revolute joint and driven by the crankshaft, an intermediate element actuated by the cam via a cam joint, and an output element which abuts on the housing and co-operates with the intermediate element via a joint and which transmits the movement to the valve. To obtain a simpler, more compact and more rigid structure, the intermediate element abuts on the housing via a cam joint, the cam of said cam joint, which is arranged on the intermediate element, has a section which forms a catch and a control section, and either the position of the cam of said cam joint, which abuts on the housing, or the position of the revolute joint of the cam can be adjusted during operation.

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.
