Abstract:
Proposed is a switchable valvetrain (1) for an internal combustion engine, having a row of rocker arms (2) which extend in the longitudinal direction of a cylinder head, which rocker arms (2) run via a recess (7) on an upper side (6) on a head (8) of a bearing journal (9), which bearing journal (9) is axially moveably arranged in a bore (10) of a carrier (11) which runs above, with piston-like coupling means (12) being provided for selectively coupling the bearing journal (9) to the carrier (11).
Abstract:
A hydraulic lash adjuster for a valve train of an internal combustion engine is provided, with the hydraulic lash adjuster including a circular cylindrical housing in which a piston (22) is arranged for axial displacement, and further including a one-way valve (31) with a closing body (32) that can be brought to bear against a valve seat (28) of the piston (22) for sealing a through-opening (24). The closing body is surrounded by a valve cap (35) and loaded by a compression spring (33 that is supported with a first end on the closing body (32) and with a second end on the valve cap (35). The closing body (32) has an approximately spherical, convexly vaulted bearing surface (34) for sealing contact on the valve seat (28) and deviates in shape from a ball shape.
Abstract:
A valve deactivation device for a rocker arm assembly having a cam arm and a valve arm. A return spring biases a lock pin toward an activated position to allow the cam arm and the valve arm to rotate together. The lock pin can be translated against the biasing force of the return spring to decouple the cam arm and valve arm for relative rotation.
