Abstract: A hybrid dual phaser assembly is disclosed for mounting to an engine camshaft to allow the timing of two sets of cam lobes to be phased independently of one another relative to a crankshaft of the engine. The phaser assembly comprises an electrically operated phaser having intermeshing gears for transmitting torque to the camshaft and a phase control input driven by an electric motor to be mounted coaxially with the camshaft, and a hydraulically operated phaser having vanes movable within arcuate cavities. The cavities of the hydraulically operated phaser are defined in part by an annular member that radially surrounds, and axially overlaps, a gear of the electrically operated phaser, which gear is separate from the annular member and forms radially inner boundary walls of the cavities.

IPC: F01L1/18
Abstract: A summation rocker system is disclosed for acting on the end of a stem of a poppet valve (16) in dependence upon the combined lifts of a first and a second cam profile defined by different cam lobes (14, 22) of a concentric camshaft (46). The system comprises a first rocker (12) mounted on a pivot shaft (18) and having a first follower (44) to contact the first cam profile and an end acting on the valve (16) to displace the valve (16) by an amount dependent upon the lift of the first cam profile, a rocker shaft (24) to be fixedly mounted on the engine, and a second rocker (20) pivotable about the rocker shaft (24), the second rocker (20) having a second follower (48) to contact the second cam profile and acting to displace the pivot shaft (18) of the first rocker (12) in dependence of the lift of second cam profile. The rocker shaft (24) intersects a plane containing the axis of the pivot shaft (18) and the end of the first rocker (12) acting on the valve stem, and the first rocker (12) includes a cut-out (26) for receiving the rocker shaft (24), which cut-out (26) is configured and dimensioned to prevent the rocker shaft (24) from interfering with movement of the first rocker (12).

Abstract: A valve system for an engine includes two cams each having a follower, a summation lever coupled to the followers, a lash adjuster, a valve actuating rocker pivotably coupled to the summation lever and resting on the lash adjuster, a control spring urging the summation lever to compress the lash adjuster, a stop limiting an expansion of the control spring, a bore, a plunger which moves in the bore, and an abutment surface. The control spring acts on the summation lever via the plunger. A plunger end engages with the summation lever. A point of contact between the plunger and the summation lever is displaced in a direction transverse to a plunger axis during a pivoting movement of the summation lever. A plunger shoulder is arranged a distance from the plunger end to contact the abutment surface to limit a plunger displacement in a direction compressing the lash adjuster.

Abstract: A camshaft assembly is disclosed that comprises an inner shaft, an outer tube surrounding and rotatable relative to the inner shaft, and two groups of cam lobes mounted on the outer tube. The first group of cam lobes is fast in rotation with the outer tube and the second group is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the outer tube and is connected for rotation with the inner shaft. A timing wheel is connected for rotation with the inner shaft to provide position information to a sensor, the timing wheel being formed as a separate part that is assembled to one of the cam lobes in the second group.
