A roller assembly for a diesel engine used in a high mileage vehicle includes a roller having an exterior roller surface and an interior surface that defines a bore extending therethrough. A pin is positioned in the bore and defines an exterior pin surface. A plurality of rolling elements is positioned between the exterior pin surface and the roller interior surface. Each of the rolling elements rollingly engages the exterior pin surface and the roller interior surface. The roller assembly defines a clearance of between about 0.01 mm to about 0.03 mm between the rolling elements, the exterior pin surface and the interior surface. The roller assembly is configured to achieve extended life criteria wherein the clearance does not increase to more than 0.02 mm to 0.06 mm after 500,000 miles of travel of a vehicle powered by a diesel engine having the roller assembly installed therein.

A valve cover for an engine and a method is provided. The valve cover may include a cover body, and a sparkplug tube formed integrally with the cover body. In this way, any distortion of the bottom end of the sparkplug tubes due to, for example removal and reinstallation may not provide a leakage path.

A method includes coupling a cylinder head to a cylinder block. A valve member is then moved into a valve pocket defined by the cylinder head such that a first stem portion of the valve member engages an actuator. A first portion of the biasing member is then disposed against a second stem portion of the valve member, the second stem portion being opposite the first stem portion. An end plate is then coupled to the cylinder head such that a second portion of the biasing member engages the end plate.

A power plant produces power by using high pressure gas to push a piston. The power plant uses a supply device to provide the high pressure gas to a cylinder and controls an admission valve and an exhaust valve to admit and exhaust the high pressure gas for pushing the piston and rotating a crank member to produce power.

A variable valve system of an internal combustion engine varies an operation manner of an engine valve by controlling an angular position of a control shaft. The system comprises a stopper mechanism that determines an angular range in which the control shaft is permitted to rotate about its axis; an actuating mechanism that actuates the control shaft to rotate about its axis; and a position matching device that is practically assembly only when the actuating mechanism is being assembled. The position matching device, when assembled, restricts operation of the actuating mechanism in such a manner as to match a maximally operated position of the actuating mechanism with a maximally operated angular position of the control shaft.

An apparatus includes a cylinder head and a valve member. The cylinder head is configured to be coupled to a cylinder and a gas manifold and has an interior surface defining a valve pocket. The valve member is configured to be disposable within the valve pocket such that the valve member is movable within the valve pocket along a longitudinal axis of the valve member. The valve member has a tapered portion defining multiple valve flow passages. The apparatus has a first configuration and a second configuration. When the apparatus is in the first configuration, each valve flow passage is in fluid communication with the cylinder and the gas manifold. When the apparatus is in the second configuration, each valve flow passage from the plurality of valve flow passages is fluidically isolated from the cylinder.

In a valve-driving device for variable adjustment of the lift of a gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine, wherein the gas exchange valve co-operates, via a transfer element, with a roller which can move about an axis of rotation, with a control path having an idling lift curve and a lift curve in an end area of a spring-loaded pivoting level which is controlled by a cam associated with a cam shaft in order to actuate the lifting of said gas exchange valve. In order to obtain a pure pivoting movement of the pivoting lever, the pivoting centre of motion forms a constant instantaneous centre of rotation during any actuation of said lift. In order to prevent an impact arising from the valve clearance, the control path of the pivoting lever comprises a ramp, which is correspondingly adapted to the respective valve clearance, between the idling lift curve and the lift curve.

The variable valve mechanism of a preferred embodiment of the invention includes a valve slidably mounted to move between a closed position and an open position, a cam rotatably mounted to push the valve from the closed position toward the open position, and an electromagnet adapted to selectively hold the valve in the open position. The variable valve mechanism acquires most of the benefits of a bi-directional electromagnetic arrangement (such as increased fuel economy, decreased start-up emissions, etc.), while avoiding most of the disadvantages (costs, NVH, etc.).
摘要:
An internal combustion engine having at least one combustion cylinder that includes a combustion chamber provided with gas-exchange valves, and an electrohydraulic valve control device having valve actuators that actuate the gas-exchange valves. To reduce manufacturing costs and/or the installation space required for the electrohydraulic valve control device, at least two synchronously controlled gas-exchange valves are connected using a coupling element to a common valve actuator, and the connection sites of the gas-exchange valves are flexibly formed on the coupling element.

A valve train for a twin cam engine has three valves per cylinder, including a pair of side-by-side intake valves and a single exhaust valve on an opposite, exhaust side of the combustion chamber. Dual camshafts in a V-type engine separately drive the intake and exhaust cams through a single dual arm intake rocker arm and a single exhaust rocker arm per cylinder, which provides much improved inlet port airflow for improved specific output compared to a single inlet valve engine. The single exhaust valve provides better catalytic converter performance due to lower exhaust heat loss than in four-valve engines of the same output capability. The intake and exhaust valve trains provide coplanar action of the push rods, rocker arms and valve stem axes, yielding an efficient and simplified valve train with a high flow combustion chamber. Additional features and advantages are disclosed.
