PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous variable valve lift apparatus capable of varyingly forming an operation range and to provide a group of continuous variable valve lift apparatuses symmetric and having the same valve profile for being used in a V-type engine. SOLUTION: The continuous variable valve lift apparatus includes (a) an input cam formed on a camshaft and rotating, (b) a follower supporting portion formed on the camshaft for changing a relative angle with respect to the camshaft, (c) a follower that includes a center shaft, is connected with the follower supporting portion via the center shaft, and pivots around the center shaft by receiving rotation of the input cam, (d) a straight line guide, (e) an output cam contacting with the follower and reciprocating along the straight line guide and (f) a valve opening and closing unit opened and closed while contacting with the output cam. The follower supporting portion has a connecting portion and is connected with a cylinder head. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an actuator for a valve lift control device for controlling a valve lift quantity while keeping engine performance stably. SOLUTION: The actuator for a valve lift control device, linearly drives a control shaft in an axial direction, and comprises: first and second rotary cams integrally rotating around a common rotation center line by torque transmission; first and second contacts brought into contact with the first and second rotary cams; and a direct acting follower moving in a straight line together with the control shaft along with the first and second rotary cams. When the contact of a first rotary cam with the first contact is a first contact, and the contact of the second rotary cam with the second contact is a second contact, the first contact is opposite to the second contact across the rotation center line. The sum of a cam lift quantity h 1 of the first rotary cam at the first contact and a cam lift quantity h 2 of the second rotary cam at the second contact is approximately constant in predetermined rotation angle ranges of the first and second rotary cams.
