    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a cover element for a camshaft phaser and a camshaft phaser. The cover element includes a journal and a cover plate, the journal is used to form sealing engagement with an oil seal, and the journal and the cover plate are connected by welding. A positioning portion is formed on the surface of the cover plate for positioning the journal. The cover element is formed by welding the cover plate and the journal, which are processed separately, so as to conveniently perform different processing of the cover plate and the journal. A positioning portion for positioning the journal is formed on the surface of the cover plate so as to easily position the journal during the welding process, which enables the journal and the cover plate to be easily welded together without requiring complicated fastening. This improves processing efficiency and reduces production costs.

    摘要: A camshaft phaser is provided that includes a stator, a rotor having a plurality of vanes that form fluid chambers with the stator, and a timing wheel attached to the rotor via a spline joint arranged between the rotor and timing wheel. The spline joint is configured to prevent axial and radial movement of the timing wheel relative to the rotor.

    摘要: A fastening structure (105) includes a pair of fastening members (105A) joined to each other, which is coupled with a bolt. The fastening member (105) is made of steel. A surface other than joint surfaces (Sa) has a Rockwell hardness of 50 HRC or more. The joint surfaces (Sa) have a Rockwell hardness of 30 HRC or more and less than 50 HRC. The joint surfaces (Sa) have an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of 0.2 μm or more and 0.5 μm or less. Production cost is suppressed, and at the same time, bending fatigue strength is secured and secondary damage due to abrasion powder generated by fretting is prevented.

    摘要: A control system of a vehicle includes: an electric motor configured to phase rotation of an camshaft of an engine relative to rotation of a crankshaft of the engine; a current module configured to, while the engine is off: selectively transition a current signal back and forth between a first state and a second state; and a motor driver module configured to, while the engine is off: apply power to the electric motor from a battery and adjust a position of the camshaft toward a predetermined position when the current signal is in the first state; and disconnect the electric motor from the battery and allow the position of the camshaft to move away from the predetermined position when the current signal is in the second state.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine system includes an internal combustion engine and a control device. A difference of an intake valve closing timing with respect to a compression top dead center is referred to as a first crank angle difference; a difference of an exhaust valve closing timing with respect to an exhaust top dead center is referred to as a second crank angle difference; and a difference between the first crank angle difference and the second crank angle difference is referred to as an intake/exhaust closing timing difference. The control device is configured to execute: a fuel cut processing; and a valve driving processing to control at least one of the intake valve closing timing and the exhaust valve closing timing such that the intake/exhaust closing timing difference becomes smaller during a fuel cut operation than during a non-fuel cut operation.

    摘要: A valve train assembly includes: at least one dual body rocker arm having a first body, a second body, a latching arrangement for latching and unlatching the first body and the second body, the latching arrangement having a latching pin that is biased to an unlatched configuration; and an actuator arrangement for controlling the latching arrangement, the actuator arrangement being able to contact the latching arrangement to cause the latching pin to be moved into a latched configuration in which it latches the first and second bodies together. In use, movement of the rocker arm under action of a cam to cause a valve event moves the actuator arrangement out of contact with the latching arrangement while a contact force between the latching pin and one or other of the first and second bodies maintains the latching pin in the latched configuration.
