Abstract:
With a gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine having a hollow valve shaft (1) and valve disk (7), wherein the valve disk (7) consists of a valve tray (5) and a valve cone (6) connected to the outer edge thereof, whereby the valve cone (6) tapers with an increase in distance from the valve tray (5), the hollow valve shaft (1), passing completely through the space surrounded by the valve cone (6), is fixedly connected to the valve tray (5) at one end and at the other end is fixedly connected to the tapering end of the valve (6), the valve shaft (1) consists of parts telescoping into one another, namely a lower shaft part (3) facing the valve tray (5) and an upper shaft part (2) connected thereto, whereby the lower shaft part (3) engages in a form-fitting manner in the upper shaft part (2), and the upper shaft part (2) and the lower shaft part (3) are joined in a shaft connecting area (4), in particular by being welded together, coke deposits in the areas of the valve facing away from the combustion chamber, such deposits being promoted there due to interfering edges in the flow, are to be prevented. To this end, such a valve is characterized in that the upper shaft part (2) develops on its outside circumference into the adjacent outside circumference of the valve cone (6) in a flush manner, to which end the upper shaft part (2) and the adjacent area of the valve cone (6) have the same outside diameter.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine is provided in which an intake valve (9), which opens and closes an intake valve hole (7) formed in a cylinder head (3) so as to face a combustion chamber (5), has a hollow structure, and an exhaust valve hole (22) formed in the intake valve (9) is made to open and close by an exhaust valve (18) coaxially housed within the intake valve (9). The intake valve hole (7), which faces the combustion chamber (5), communicates directly with an intake port (8), and the exhaust valve hole (22), which faces the combustion chamber (5), communicates with an exhaust port (14) via an exhaust passage (21) formed within the hollow intake valve (9). It is thereby possible to ensure that the intake valve (9) has a large opening area, thus increasing the intake charging efficiency and, furthermore, since exhaust gas that has just come out of the combustion chamber (5) does not make direct contact with the cylinder head (3), which has a large heat capacity, any decrease in temperature of the exhaust gas can be minimized, thereby utilizing waste heat effectively.
Abstract:
A hollow valve for internal combustion engines, comprising a valve body having a disk, a hollow throat region and a stem component, wherein the valve body is designed in the form a deep-drawn metal part made of austenitic metal. There is a stem end piece welded to the stem component of the valve body and a cover welded to the disk. The valve body, end piece and cover enclose a hollow space extending from the stem end piece into the disk. This valve is considerably lighter in weight than traditional valves, and is capable of lowering the temperature of the valve when the hollow space is filled with a coolant.
Abstract:
Some embodiments are directed to a valve assembly for use with a combustion engine. The valve assembly can include a valve stem having a plunger end, and a valve head having a stem portion disposed along a central axis and connected to the plunger end of the valve stem. The valve head can have a hollow interior portion defining interior floor and ceiling surfaces, and include ribs that extend between the interior floor and ceiling surfaces. The ribs can also extend radially around the central axis of the valve head from the stem portion to an outer circumference of the hollow interior portion. Additionally, the ribs can be configured such that a majority of an upper surface of each rib contacts the ceiling surface.
Abstract:
A device for producing at least one hollow valve for a gas exchange system may include at least one valve holder. The at least one valve holder may include a valve stem centring element, a valve receptacle and a valve head holder. The valve receptacle may receive a valve stem and the valve head holder may receive a valve head. A first carrier and a second carrier may be provided. The valve holder may be arranged on the first carrier. At least one cathode holder may be arranged on the second carrier. The cathode holder may include a cathode that is insertable through the first carrier via the valve stem centring element. At least one contact plate may be arranged opposite the valve head holder.
Abstract:
An intake system for an internal combustion engine is provided. The intake system may include an intake manifold fluidly connected to a cylinder, an intake valve coupled to the cylinder having an air supply duct longitudinally extending through a portion of a valve stem and having an outlet opening into the intake manifold and an inlet fluidly connected to a supply line fluidly connected to an intake passage downstream of a compressor and upstream of a throttle, and a shut-off valve positioned in the supply line configured to adjust the flow of gas through the supply line.
