Abstract:
A valve operating mechanism for an internal combustion engine for an automobile in which friction is decreased without an increase in the mass to be moved by the valve closing spring. The valve operating mechanism has a roller arranged on an actuation spindle. The roller cooperates with a bearing surface on a component of the mechanism that is connected to the valve, at least during valve opening, so that deviations of the valve lift curve from the desired valve lift curve are eliminated. Connection between the actuation spindle, through the roller, and the valve is maintained only during the valve-open cycle.
Abstract:
An internal-combustion engine includes an oil reservoir, a lubricating oil circuit, a lubricating oil pump drawing oil from the oil reservoir and driving the oil in the lubricating oil circuit and a cooling oil circuit coupled to the lubricating oil circuit. There is further provided a cooling oil pump drawing oil from the oil reservoir and driving the oil in the cooling oil circuit. The cooling oil pump has a lower output pressure than the lubricating oil pump.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine having a rotating crankshaft mounted on at least one main bearing is provided with an oil pump having at least one gear surround the crankshaft and rotationally driven by the crankshaft. The pump gear surrounds the main bearing so that the main bearing and the oil pump occupy a common axial space on the crankshaft.
Abstract:
A variable valve control arrangement for a lift valve of an internal combustion engine has a longitudinally adjustable coupling assembly disposed between a cam and the lift valve including an outer cup plunger and an inner plunger on the lift valve side and a hydraulic working space formed between the plungers. During the flanks of the valve lift curve, communication is established at times between the hydraulic working space and a pressure medium supply through the cup plunger so that at sufficiently high pressure the coupling assembly will increase its length. During the valve closing phase, the pressure in the working space is reduced through a throttle aperture in the cup plunger.
Abstract:
In the embodiment described in the specification a combustion chamber for an internal combustion engine has intake and exhaust valves arranged to scavenge the combustion chamber with fresh gas. The valve control for the intake valve is arranged so that the intake valve closing time is delayed with decreasing load and, to avoid a corresponding reduction of the compression ratio, the combustion chamber has a variable volume annex which reduces the combustion chamber volume with decreasing load.
Abstract:
For the purpose of attaining good sealing of a rotary slide valve under the action of gas forces in a pressure chamber adjacent to the valve, the sealing surface of a sliding ring bearing on the rotary slide valve, taking into account the gas-dynamic pressure forces, is dimensioned approximately double the size of the end face of the sliding ring facing the pressure chamber and acted on by the gas pressure.
Abstract:
In order to reduce the required diameter of a rotary valve, there are combined in one cross section, also containing a housing-side fresh gas and, respectively, exhaust gas opening, fresh gas and, respectively, exhaust gas ducts leading to adjacent combustion chambers, so as to form a common conduit extending in the plane of the fresh gas and, respectively, exhaust gas opening.
Abstract:
An internal-combustion engine includes an engine block, a plurality of parallel cylinders and oil chambers defined in the engine block; intake valves, exhaust valves, overhead valve controls and crankshaft bearings supported in the engine block as well as a pump supported in the engine block for delivering oil through the oil chambers for cooling the engine. The engine block is a single-piece cast component in which the oil chambers extend adjacent and parallel to the cylinders and are accessible from opposite sides of the engine block where the crankshaft bearings and the valve controls are supported.
Abstract:
A mixture compressing internal-combustion engine having a combustion chamber, an intake conduit for introducing a combustible mixture into the combustion chamber, a throttle valve for controlling the flow of the mixture in the intake conduit and apparatus for reducing knocking in the engine. The knock reducing apparatus includes a knocking sensor coupled to the combustion chamber, control means coupled to the sensor and an adjustable full-load stop positioned within the intake conduit adjacent the throttle valve. The stop is controlled by the control means to vary the full-load opening angle of the throttle by an amount corresponding to the output signal from the control means, a reduction in the full-load opening angle reducing knocking of the engine.
Abstract:
In an internal combustion engine including a plurality of cylinders arranged in two rows extending in the longitudinal direction of the engine at opposite sides of a longitudinal center plane of the engine, inlet and outlet valves arranged in two rows and having longitudinal axes which extend obliquely to the longitudinal center plane of the engine, and a common camshaft operatively associated with the valves and having a longitudinal axis disposed at least approximately in the longitudinal center plane of the engine, the valves are disposed and oriented in a manner such that the longitudinal axes of the valves at least approximately intersect the longitudinal axis of the camshaft, and the valves are constructed and positioned to be directly actuated by the camshaft.
