    摘要: A valve train assembly includes: at least one dual body rocker arm having a first body, a second body, a latching arrangement for latching and unlatching the first body and the second body, the latching arrangement having a latching pin that is biased to an unlatched configuration; and an actuator arrangement for controlling the latching arrangement, the actuator arrangement being able to contact the latching arrangement to cause the latching pin to be moved into a latched configuration in which it latches the first and second bodies together. In use, movement of the rocker arm under action of a cam to cause a valve event moves the actuator arrangement out of contact with the latching arrangement while a contact force between the latching pin and one or other of the first and second bodies maintains the latching pin in the latched configuration.

    摘要: A valve train assembly includes valves having a valve stem; a main camshaft having main cams corresponding to the valves; main rocker arms corresponding to the valves; an auxiliary cam arranged on the main camshaft; at an auxiliary cam follower following the auxiliary cam, the auxiliary cam follower being movably arranged on a main rocker arm between a first and second position; and a latch on a main rocker arm for locking the auxiliary cam follower in the first position. A rotatable control rod controlling the latch is between the first and the second positions. The control rod includes a transmission element configured to convert torque in the control rod into a control force to control movement of the latch.

    摘要: A rocker arm assembly can include an outer arm having an outer rocker shaft bore configured to receive a rocker shaft and an inner arm having an inner rocker shaft bore configured to receive the rocker shaft. The inner arm can be configured to selectively rotate. A latch pin can be movably seated in the outer arm and configured to move between a latched position and an unlatched position. The rocker arm assembly can further include a lost motion spring. The lost motion spring can include a first end connected to a connecting portion of the inner arm above the inner rocker shaft bore and a second end connected to the outer arm. The inner arm can include an inner arm stop member configured contact with a corresponding outer arm stop member of the outer arm.

    摘要: A rocker arm for a valve train assembly includes: a first body; a second body mounted for pivotal movement with respect to the first body; and a latching arrangement. The latching arrangement includes a latch pin drivable in response to an external actuator from a first position in which the first body and the second body are un-latched to a second position in which the latch pin latches the first body and the second body together. The latching arrangement includes a piston member and a first biasing member. The piston member is arranged such that if the external actuator attempts to cause the latch pin to be driven from the first position to the second position at a time when the latch pin is prevented from being driven, the piston member moves to bias the biasing member so that the biasing member urges the latch pin to the second position.
