Abstract:
A valve timing control apparatus of an internal combustion engine may include a driving rotational body to which torque is transmitted from a crankshaft, a driven rotational body fixed to a camshaft to which torque is transmitted from the driving rotational body, an electric motor disposed between the driving rotational body and the driven rotational body and relatively rotating the driving rotational body and the driven rotational body when electric power is applied thereto, and a deceleration mechanism that decelerates a rotational speed of the electrical motor and transmit the decelerated rotational speed to the driven rotational body.
Abstract:
An electric motor includes a motor casing formed with a shaft insertion hole and a motor output shaft extending in the shaft insertion hole and projecting to a speed reducing mechanism. An annular oil seal is disposed between the shaft insertion hole and the motor output shaft and the annular oil seal includes an annular seal retainer buried in the annular oil seal for reinforcement. A C-shaped stopper member extending circumferentially from a first end to a second end spaced from the first end, is held in a holding portion or a fitting groove of the shaft insertion hole, and arranged to prevent movement of the oil seal toward the speed reducing mechanism. The stopper member includes a plurality of beam segments confronting the seal retainer from an axial direction of the motor output shaft.
Abstract:
In a variably operated valve system for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine and a control apparatus for the variably operated valve system, a first valve stop mechanism is configured to switch between a valve operation state in which one of a pair of intake valves from among the pair of intake valves of a part of a plurality of cylinders is operated to be open or closed and a valve stopped state in which the valve open or closure operation of the one of the intake valves is stopped, a second valve stop mechanism is configured to switch between the valve operation state in which the other of the pair of intake valves from among the pair of intake valves of the part of the cylinders is operated to be open or closed and the valve stopped state in which the valve open or closure operation is stopped.
Abstract:
A variably operated valve system for an internal combustion engine, a valve stop mechanism (11) makes at least one of a pair of fulcrum members lost motion to stop open-and-closure drives for one of two engine valves per cylinder and a stop of open-and-closure drives for the one of the engine valves is inhibited, in a case where a lost motion quantity of the valve stop mechanism exceeds a predetermined value (M3).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a variably adjustable mechanical valve gear for at least one gas-reversing valve (1) provided with a closing spring (2) on a piston-type internal combustion engine having a drive mechanism (13) for generating a lifting movement that is effective counter to the force of the closing spring (2) on the gas-reversing valve (1) and with a stroke transfer means (4) in the form of a pivoting element (8), arranged between the driving mechanism (13) and the gas-reversing valve (1), which acts upon the gas-reversing valve (1) in the direction of its movement axis (14) and for which the lifting distance in the direction of the movement axis (14) can be changed via an adjustable guide element (11), wherein the pivoting element is connected to the gas-reversing valve with its end that is effective in the direction of the movement axis (14) and to the driving mechanism (13) with its end opposite the gas-reversing valve (1) and is guided to pivot back and forth on the guide element (11) designed as control curve (11.1).
Abstract:
An efficient internal combustion engine including a housing such as a cylinder block, cylinder covers and one or more pairs of working piston and auxiliary piston, moving in the working cylinder and auxiliary cylinder respectively. For each pair of working piston and auxiliary piston, the engine also has rods operatively connected to working piston and auxiliary piston, intake valve, operatively connected to the intake channel in the cylinder block, exhaust valve, operatively connected to the exhaust channel in the cylinder block, and two bypass valves located between the working cylinder and auxiliary cylinder. The engine also has a crankshaft that also functions as a camshaft, rod pushers for pushing special nozzles and valves, flywheel, Hydro-compensators and preferably a high pressure fuel pump (HPFP). No cylinder heads or separate camshafts are used in the present invention.
