Abstract: A hydraulic lash adjuster for an engine is provided that includes a resilient seal received over a plunger assembly above a fluid return aperture in the plunger body. The hollow interior of the pushrod which supplies the hydraulic lash adjuster with fluid provides a secondary low pressure fluid cavity which allows the overall length of the hydraulic lash adjuster to be shortened, thus removing mass from the valve train and improving the valve train dynamics. This configuration prevents fluid from escaping the lash adjuster, allowing the lash adjuster to be positioned in the engine over a wider range of operating angles. Supplying fluid from the pushrod also eliminates the need to machine a fluid supply bore into the body of the hydraulic lash adjuster as well as the need to orient the fluid supply bore to a fluid gallery in the engine block.

Abstract: A C-clip retainer is provided in a groove of a piston, such as for an engine hydraulic valve lash adjuster, to allow installation and removably retain the piston in a cylinder of an associated assembly. The groove has a novel shape including an inner surface that is angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the piston to provide a larger groove diameter at a first axial end surface and a smaller diameter at an opposite second axial end surface of the groove. Upon installation, the clip is urged into the smaller diameter, allowing easier installation, but upon removal the clip is expanded by forcing it to the larger diameter, thereby increasing the retention force on the piston. The first axial end surface may also be formed with a back angle that reduces forces of the associated cylinder edge that tend to compress the retainer into the groove, thus further increasing the piston retention force.

Abstract: Valve lift mechanism for an engine includes a two step variable valve lifter having roller followers for engaging multiple cams on an associated camshaft of the engine and an anti-rotation guide mounted in the engine externally of a cylindrical bore receiving the lifter. The guide engages an axial guide recess in the lifter body without requiring a corresponding recess in the bore. The lifter also has a saddle in a central low lift cam follower engagable by lock pins in an annular body of an associated high lift cam follower to lock the followers together for high valve lift operation. The saddle is disposed axially between a follower roller and a high pressure chamber of a hydraulic lash adjuster of the low lift cam follower so that lock pin loads are transmitted as compressive forces through the low lift follower. The high lift follower rollers are received in pockets having sides that are crowned by shallow convex curvatures defining axially extending ridges which limit axial motion of the rollers so that the rubbing surface and associated friction are limited. Various additional specific features are disclosed. Application of the features to other valve lifters and cam followers is anticipated.

Abstract: An outlet valve lifter for internal combustion engine is described. In order to increase the braking power of the internal combustion engine it is necessary that the outlet valve is opened during the compression cycle. Advantageously, this is achieved by a hydraulic outlet valve lifter which is actuated by an external pressure source. Due to the pressure of the compressed air shortly before the ignition top dead center position great forces are acting on the outlet valve and accordingly on the outlet valve lifter. These forces, in the form of hydraulic pressure, act via the inner portion of the outlet valve lifter on the external pressure source and may cause damage. Therefore, the outlet valve lifter is provided with an inner portion which is lifted by a certain stroke due to the pressure actuation via a second pressure chamber so that the outlet valve opens. When the pressure within the second pressure chamber increases as a function of the forces acting on the outlet valve and surpasses the hydraulic pressure generated by the external pressure source, a ball valve closes the second pressure chamber so that the hydraulic pressure generated therein may not be transmitted to the external pressure source.
Abstract translation: 描述了用于内燃机的出气阀提升器。 为了增加内燃机的制动功率,需要在压缩循环期间打开出口阀。 有利地,这通过由外部压力源致动的液压出口阀提升器来实现。 由于压缩空气的压力在点火之前不久,上止点位置,大的力作用在出口阀上,因此作用在出口阀升降器上。 这些力以液压的形式通过外部压力源上的出口阀提升器的内部部分作用,并可能造成损坏。 因此,出气阀提升器具有内部,该内部部分由于经由第二压力室的压力致动而被提升一定行程,从而使出口阀打开。 当第二压力室内的压力作为作用在出口阀上的力的函数而增加并超过由外部压力源产生的液压时,球阀关闭第二压力室,使得其中产生的液压不可能 传输到外部压力源。

Abstract: A valve damping piston and a cam follower piston have telescopic sliding fits in opposite ends of a through-bore in the lifter housing. A pressure chamber is cooperatively defined within the housing between the two pistons, and is communicated to the engine oil supply. A lash adjusting piston has a telescopical sliding fit with the exterior axial end of the damping piston, and the two cooperatively define between themselves a lash adjusting chamber. The lash adjusting chamber is communicated to the pressure chamber by an axial segment of the telescopic sliding fit of the damping piston to the housing. The clearance provided by this axial segment creates a flow restriction that results in the pressure in the lash adjusting chamber being appreciably lower, 50% for example, than the pressure in the pressure chamber. The damping piston contains a circumferential groove that is directly communicated to the termination of the axial segment. A radial and then an axial hole in the damper piston communicate the groove to the lash adjusting chamber. 00
