摘要： A twin cylinder engine, includes a pair of cylinder members mounted to mounting surfaces of a crankcase, and cylinder heads mounted to the cylinder members. The cylinder members are modular components, which may be pre-assembled with components of the valve train as packaged units before the cylinder members are attached to the crankcase. Each cylinder member rotatably supports a cam gear which extends into the crankcase for driving engagement with the crankshaft. The cylinder members may be configured for either side valve-type (“L-head”), or overhead valve-type (“OHV”) engines, and the cylinder members may also be used in single cylinder engines.

摘要： A camshaft adjuster for an internal combustion engine having hydraulic medium guides. The adjuster can include a setting unit that can be controlled by a control unit using these guides in the adjuster, wherein the setting unit is for adjusting an angle of a camshaft. This setting unit has an inner body coupled to the camshaft so as to rotate with it, and an outer body that is mounted to rotate relative to the camshaft via a drive connection which runs from a crankshaft to the camshaft. The camshaft has at least one insert part permanently inserted camshaft wherein these two components together form at least one hydraulic medium guide at least in partial regions over its axial length. This design is to create a camshaft adjuster which is in interaction with a camshaft having an insert part so that there is a simple and reliable supply of hydraulic medium to the camshaft adjuster and in particular to its control device.

摘要： A variable camshaft timing phaser for an internal combustion engine having at least one camshaft comprising a plurality of vanes in chambers defined by a housing and a spool valve. The vanes define an advance and retard chamber. At least one of the vanes is cam torque actuated (CTA) and at least one of the other vanes is oil pressure actuated (OPA). The spool valve is coupled to the advance and retard chamber defined by the CTA vane and the advance chamber defined by the OPA vane. When the phaser is in the advance position, fluid is routed from the retard chamber defined by the OPA vane to the retard chamber defined the CTA vane. When the phaser is in the retard position fluid is routed from the retard chamber defined by the CTA vane to the advance chamber defined by the CTA vane.

摘要： A vapor fuel injection system including an air pump having dedicated air cylinders assigned to individual engine cylinders and adapted to produce timed charges of pre-heated air adapted to push timed charges of fuel through a heat exchanger where the timed charges of fuel are converted into metered charges of fuel vapor. The charges of fuel vapor are subsequently pushed into and through fuel vapor delivery nozzles defined in the respective guide bodies of respective intake valve assemblies. After exiting the guide body of said valve assemblies, the timed charges of fuel vapor mix with intake manifold air and then are fed directly into the engine cylinders for combustion.

摘要： A system and method for controlling a variable valve actuation system for an engine is provided. An engine valve is moved between a first position where the engine valve blocks a flow of fluid and a second position where the engine valve allows a flow of fluid. Fluid is provided to a chamber of a valve actuator adapted to operatively engage the engine valve. A parameter indicative of a viscosity of the fluid provided to the chamber of the valve actuator is sensed. Fluid is trapped within the chamber of the valve actuator to prevent the engine valve from moving to the first position. A response time of the valve actuator is determined based on the viscosity of the fluid provided to the chamber of the valve actuator. The response time indicates the time required to release the fluid from the chamber of the valve actuator to allow the engine valve to move to the first position.

摘要： A first camshaft (24) operates the exhaust valves (18) and a first intake valve (12) for each cylinder (8), and a second camshaft (38) operates the second intake valve per cylinder (14), the second camshaft further having a phase adjuster (62) for adjusting the timing of the second camshaft (38) relative to the first camshaft (24). Both the exhaust valves and the first intake valve arc actuated by rocker arms (30),(36), for providing a short and light-weight first intake valve rocker (36) having a high maximum operational speed capability and low friction. The first camshaft (24) is located above the rockers, the cam followers are located generally in the middle of the rockers (30),(36), and the rocker mounts (33),(35) are located on the inboard ends of the rockers, providing rockers that have both light-weight and a small pivot angle for providing low valve stem to rocker friction.

摘要： A rotary valve that includes three sealing blades and four sealing rings. Two on each end. The valve assembly rotates at one half of crank speed, for a (single cylinder four-cycle engine.) This aligns timing of the port in the valve with the port of the cylinder head. This enables intake/exhaust functions. Within the open end of the valve are stationary impeller fins, (rotating at the same speed) provides improved fuel/air mixture and flow characteristics with less polution.

摘要： A variable camshaft phase adjustment device (phaser) for an internal combustion engine having at least one camshaft. The phaser has a housing having an outer circumference for accepting a drive force, and a rotor connected to a camshaft coaxially located within the housing. The housing and the rotor are capable of rotation to shift the relative angular position of the camshaft and the crankshaft. The spool valve comprising a spool slidably mounted within a bore in the rotor. In the spool a chamber is present that has an input communicating with the bore the spool is mounted in, an output communicating with the outside, and an air flow restriction. Hydraulic fluid from the input communicating with the bore is prevented from communicating with the outside by the air flow restriction. The air flow restriction is either in the input communicating with the bore or the output communicating with the outside.
