    摘要: To lighten the weight of an electromagnetic actuator and a valve-open-close mechanism by forming the stems from a lighter material than conventional. A pair of electromagnets formed of stators and coils are opposed to each other with a gap therebetween. An armature is disposed in the gap so as to be reciprocable between one electromagnet and the other electromagnet by the electromagnets. A first stem for transmitting the movement of the armature from one electromagnet toward the other electromagnet to a valve of the internal combustion engine is inserted in a guide hole formed in the stator of one electromagnet. The first stem is formed of a lighter material than the armature to lighten the weight of the electromagnetic actuator and a valve-open-close mechanism of an internal combustion engine.

    摘要: It is proposed to lessen the weight and improve the mechanical strength of a retainer of a valve open-close mechanism driven by an electromagnetic actuator used in an automotive internal combustion engine. The electromagnetic actuator is mounted in a housing mounted on an internal combustion engine body. A first stem has its tip abutting the valve, which is provided with a retainer and carries a first coil spring. A second stem is provided on the other side of an armature. The second stem has a retainer. Between this retainer and the housing, a second coil spring is mounted. At least one of these parts is made of a metal smaller in specific weight than iron or its alloy. Each retainer has a boss and an arcuate corner portion having a radius of curvature R of 1.0 mm or over between a spring abutting surface and the boss to relieve stress concentration.

    摘要: A valve-open-close mechanism is proposed which has parts designed to reduce friction during sliding. The electromagnetic actuator comprises a pair of electromagnets each having a stator and a coil opposed to each other with a gap therebetween, an armature disposed in the gap, and a first stem for transmitting to external the movement of said armature. A retainer and a first return spring are provided on the valve. A second stem is provided at other side of the armature and another retainer and a second return spring are provided for the second stem. A coating film is formed on at least one of the surface or end face of the stem portion of the valve, end faces of the first return spring or second return spring, spring bearing end faces of the retainers, surface or end face of the second stem, and the surface of the armature.
