Abstract: A variable valve timing camshaft drive system is provided with an adjusting device arranged between the loose end and the load end of a chain which is operative between chain wheels of two parallel camshafts of an internal-combustion engine. For tightening the chain and influencing the relative rotating position of a camshaft--variable valve timing--the device comprises a first hydraulic piston and a second hydraulic piston. The first hydraulic piston can be alternately acted upon by pressure and, in the process, takes up two end positions. By means of a third hydraulic piston, the first hydraulic piston may also be fixed in an intermediate position.

Abstract: A driveshaft in the form of a crankshaft (12) or a camshaft (212) drives a camshaft (16, 216) by means of a chain (20, 220) which is trained around a sprocket (14, 214) on the driveshaft and another sprocket (18, 218) on the driven camshaft. The driven camshaft is selectively advanced or retarded in its position by lengthening or shortening one portion (20a, 220a) of the chain and simultaneously lengthening or shortening another portion (20b, 220b) thereof by extending one hydraulic tensioning device (22, 122, 222, 322) and simultaneously retracting another hydraulic tensioning device (24, 124, 224, 324). A spool valve member (50) is controllably positioned within a valve body (48), in response to instructions from an engine control unit (58) which acts through a pulse width modulated solenoid (56) to increase or decrease a load acting on one end of the spool, to permit or prevent hydraulic fluid from flowing from one tensioner to another as a result of a pressure differential between the tensioners. The pressure differential exists as a result of torque reversals in the driven camshaft during its normal rotation, the torque reversals having the effect of changing the levels of tension within the portions of the chain that are engaged by the tensioners.

Abstract: An internal-combustion engine has a camshaft drive in which the outlet camshaft driven by the crankshaft drives the inlet camshaft via a chain. For the tensioning of the chain, two hydraulic pistons are pressed in opposite directions with respect to one another against the loose end and the load end of the interior side of the chain. For adjustment of the relative camshaft rotating position, the unit consisting of the hydraulic piston and the chain is shifted transversely to the camshafts so that the loose end is shortened and the load end is lengthened, or vice versa.

Abstract: A variable camshaft timing system for an internal combustion engine varies the relative angular position between the intake camshaft and the exhaust camshaft by controlling the path of the timing belt. First and second idler arms, each having an idler wheel connected thereto, are independently pivoted around a common pivot point by means of a pair of positioning cams operatively connected to an electric stepping motor. The motor is controlled from an electronic control unit which receives signals indicating the engine operating characteristics and through a look-up table steps the positioning cams which in turn pivots the idler arms to rotate the intake camshaft relative to the exhaust camshaft thereby changing the intake valve timing.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine has n member of cylinders, a piston in each cylinder connected to a crankshaft (2), each piston being in phase or out of phase with the others by A.degree. or a multiple thereof (A=720/n), cams for actuating inlet and exhaust valves to each cylinder, and a cam drive mechanism (5) which rotates the cams in phased relationship with the crankshaft (2) to open the valves in sequence for a desired angle of rotation of the crankshaft. The cam drive mechanism also includes means for combining the rotational movement of the cams with a phased oscillatory movement of the camshaft (3) and cams of variable amplitude about the axis of rotation at a frequency f times the crankshaft frequency so that over the period which the valves are opened and/or their timings variable, f has the following values:f=2n when the number of cylinders n=1;f=n or n/2 when n=2;and f=n/2 when n=3 or more. The selection of the frequency of the oscillations allows all the cams to be mounted on the same camshaft.

Abstract: A rotary valve assembly will be utilized on internal combustion engines for regulating air-fuel mixture from a carburetor or other fuel injection system entering the cylinders of either two stroke or four stroke spark ignition engines serving to improve the part-load fuel efficiency of such engines by minimizing the pumping losses. This increase in efficiency is accomplished by substituting what is termed "time-duration-modulation" control for the present day "throttled" or "resistive" intake control now used to regulate engine power output. The rotary valve structure employs a hollow, or open sleeve, or tubular multi-port structure comprising the rotary valve, with an outlet for each cylinder, operating at fifteen (15) p.s.i. maximum differential pressure and relatively low temperatures, connected in series with presently used poppet or port type intake valves. Rotary valve timing or phase control is accomplished with a multi-pulley belt drive system.
