摘要:
A system for actuating engine valve comprises a main valve actuation motion source configured to supply main valve actuation motions to the at least one engine valve via a main motion load path, and an auxiliary valve actuation motion source separate from the main valve actuation motion source and configured to supply complementary auxiliary valve actuation motions to the at least one engine valve via an auxiliary motion load path. A lost motion component is configured, in one state, to maintain lash between the auxiliary valve actuation motion source and the auxiliary motion load path or within the auxiliary motion load path and, in another state, to take up this lash. The auxiliary valve actuation motion source is further configured to supply at least one lash-prevention valve actuation motion that substantially matches at least one of the main valve actuation motions.

[Object] To provide a compact power unit while securing a sufficient clearance between a stud bolt and a fixing shaft of a cam chain tensioner pivot mechanism, and surely supporting a cam chain tensioner guide. [Solving Means] In a power unit including a crankshaft 30, a stud bolt 26 configured to fix a crankcase 22 and a cylinder body 23 to each other, a cam chain 52, a cam chain tensioner mechanism 60 including a cam chain tensioner guide 61, and a cam chain tensioner pivot mechanism 70 including a pivot plate 71, a fixing shaft 72, and a swinging shaft 73, the fixing shaft 72 and the swinging shaft 73 are arranged so as to straddle the axis L2 of the stud bolt 26 as viewed in the axial direction of the crankshaft 30.

A novel latch seat for a switching rocker arm assembly used in variable valve actuation (VVA) systems for internal combustion engines is disclosed. The seat is formed interactively in the assembled switching rocker arm using a novel fixture and press. The press interactively creates a curved dimple of the correct curvature, position and depth while measuring several lash dimensions. Since the latch seat is formed on the assembled rocker arm assembly, the latch seat depth is designed to account for the inaccuracies in the rocker arm assembly parts which create lash. Therefore all of the parts may be made with less precision since the latch seat is sized to compensate for the inaccuracies of all of the parts. The rocker arm assembly parts now may be manufactured to less stringent standards, but result in a rocker arm assembly with same accuracy those rocker arm assemblies manufactured under the previous methods.

A lash adjuster (A) in a valve actuator includes a lifter body (11) having an end plate (12) having its top surface in contact with a cam (1) and formed with a threaded hole (15) in its bottom surface. An adjuster screw (16) is inserted in the threaded hole (15) with its external thread (16a) in engagement with the internal thread (15a) of the threaded hole (15). An elastic member (17) is mounted in the threaded hole (15) over the adjuster screw (16) to bias the adjuster screw (16) axially downward. Both of the threads (15a,16a) have a sawtooth-shaped section with its pressure flank having a greater flank angle than its clearance flank. One of the pressure flanks is formed with a satin-finished rugged surface which is covered by a hard film which is non-reactive with a low-friction oil. With this arrangement, even after the threads have become worn, the friction coefficient between the thread surfaces is kept substantially constant.
a valve lash fastener-driver; a valve lash adjusting member-driver ; a valve lash measurer; and a controller connected to and operably controlling movement of the fastener-driver, member-driver and valve lash measurer; the controller operably adjusting valve lash by selectively energizing and deenergizing the fastener-driver and member-driver; and the controller operably verifying the actually adjusted valve lash in an automatic manner based at least in part on the valve lash measurer output signal.
The invention also relates to a valve lash setting tool and to a method using a tool to set valve lash.

A method and a device for setting the valve lash to a desired value at internal combusion engines, including application of a motor driven coaxial double spindle (22) on each valve adjusting screw (18) and lock nut (19) followed by a number of consecutive operation steps comprising: tightening the adjuster screw (18) of each valve (11;111) to a snug torque level (T s ), open the valve (11;111) by tightening the adjuster screw (18) through a predetermined angle while checking the torque magnitude required therefor, reverse the adjuster screw (18) through an angle exceeding the previous predetermined angle, retighten the adjuster screw (18) to the snug torque level (T s ), reverse the adjuster screw (18) through an angular interval corresponding to the desired valve lash, and tighten the lock nut (19) while holding the adjuster screw (18) stationary.

The invention relates to a desmodromic system in which a valve stem (l0) is arranged to be acted upon directly, or by way of rockers, by an opening cam (l8) and a closing cam (l4) rotatable together at constant or varying angular velocity in synchronism with the rotation of the engine crankshaft. A compliance device (l2) is incorporated in the transmission train from the cams (l8,l4) to the valve stem (l0), the compliance device (l2) comprising two members (56,66) resiliently urged away from one another and coupled to one another in such a manner that they can only move apart by a predetermined distance (74). The compliance device enables the system to operate with no clearance when the valve is open and accommodates valve recession and thermal expansion when the valve is closed.
