Abstract:
A 4-cycle engine including a crankshaft connected to a piston and supported at opposite ends by a crankcase for rotation. The crankshaft is formed at one of its two output shaft sections with a groove extending peripherally along the outer peripheral surface of one output shaft section substantially in the form of a endless loop having a cross point. A plurality of followers engaged in the groove have their movements transmitted, through respective linkages, to an exhaust valve and a suction valve respectively. A governor device is located at the other output shaft section and operative to actuate an engine rpm. controller depending on the speed of rotation of the crankshaft.
Abstract:
There is provided an apparatus for driving intake and exhaust valves (12) of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus comprises a valve lift controlling means (16) connected to the valves to control the lift of the valves in response to the engine operating conditions, valve driving cams (13) fixed on a cam shaft (14) and being in contact with the valve lift controlling means (16), and a phase controlling means (23) arranged on the cam shaft (14) to control the relative rotational phase of the valve driving cams, i.e., the open and close timing of the valves (12) in response to the engine operating conditions.
Abstract:
An engine generator has an opening and closing mechanism including: a control shaft provided to a valve shaft of a choke valve to be rotatable relative thereto within a predetermined angular range; an urging member urging the valve shaft relative to the control shaft in a direction in which an opening degree of the choke valve decreases; a restriction mechanism that sets a minimum opening degree of the choke valve by restricting a range of rotation of the control shaft; a choke operating portion which, upon operation, drives the restriction mechanism in a direction in which the minimum opening degree of the choke valve decreases; and a negative pressure mechanism driven by a negative pressure generated during an operation of the engine to cause the control shaft to rotate to increase the minimum opening degree of the choke valve within the range of rotation restricted by the restriction mechanism.

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:
The invention prevents reverse rotation of a diesel engine which is possible to occur when the engine is started. A camshaft 13 is driven by a crankshaft 5 through power transmission means, and cams 14, 21 and 22 are provided on camshaft 13 so as to drive a fuel injection pump 12, an intake valve and an exhaust valve, respectively. In fuel injection pump cam 14, middle stage portion 53 is radially larger than minimum radius portion 51 and is disposed at a predetermined angle R3 on the back side in the rotation direction of the fuel injection pump cam from maximum radius portion 52.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a valve mechanism for controlling a disc valve (1) of an internal combustion engine and comprises a control shaft (2) which is driven by the engine crankshaft, and a push rod (3) which is driven by the control shaft (2) and which for the purpose of transmitting reciprocating movement is connected to one arm (14) of a two-arm rocker (4) which is pivotable about a rocker shaft (15) and the other arm (16) of which rocker transmits these movements to the valve (1). The valve mechanism according to the invention is characterized in that the control shaft (2) is intended to act upon the push rod (3) in both directions of movement thereof; in that the first arm (14) of the rocker (4) extends essentially at right angles to the push rod (3) and the second arm (16) of the rocker extends essentially parallel with the longitudinal geometric axis of the valve (1); and in that a lifting arm (5) is provided for transferring rocker movement to the valve (1). The other arm (16) of the rocker (4) is provided with activating means (18) for coaction with the lifting arm (5), one end of which is pivotally mounted on a lifting arm shaft (19) and the other end of which is provided with means for activating the valve (1). The lifting arm surface (20) which co-acts with the second arm (16) of the rocker (4) is profiled in a manner to achieve the desired pattern of movement of the second end of the lifting arm (5) in response to movement of the rocker (4).
