    摘要: A lash adjuster includes a bottomed cylindrical body and a cylindrical plunger reciprocably inserted into the body and having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall. The plunger has a low-pressure chamber. The peripheral wall of the plunger includes an annular band portion abutting against an upper part of a peripheral wall of the body. The peripheral wall of the plunger has a plurality of plunger oil holes located below the band portion. The plunger oil holes include respective lower ends defining a level of the oil stored in the low-pressure chamber. The plurality of plunger oil holes are located at a common height position of the peripheral wall of the plunger coming close to the band portion.

    摘要: A lash adjuster includes a body which is cylindrical in shape and a plunger. The plunger is reciprocably inserted into the body and has an interior in which a low-pressure chamber is defined. The plunger has a bottom wall defining a high-pressure chamber in conjunction with the body between them and a peripheral wall formed with a plunger oil hole through which an operating oil is fed into the low-pressure chamber. The bottom wall is formed with a valve hole through which the operating oil stored in the low-pressure chamber is allowed to flow into the high-pressure chamber. The plunger has a pocket provided on the peripheral wall so as to be deformed toward the low-pressure chamber and inclined in an upward direction, defining the plunger oil hole.

    摘要: A variable valve mechanism includes an input arm that axially supports a roller pressed by a cam, via a roller pin, an output arm that drives a valve when swinging, a switch device that switches the variable valve mechanism between a coupled state where the both arms are coupled and an uncoupled state where the arms are uncoupled from each other, and a lost motion spring that biases the roller against the cam when in the uncoupled state. The lost motion spring includes an extended portion extending in an inter-arm clearance between the input arm and the output arm. An end of the roller pin projects from the input arm into the inter-arm clearance by such a length that the end is accommodated in the inter-arm clearance and that allows a spring retaining portion to be formed in the end. The spring retaining portion is formed in the end.

    摘要: A variable valve mechanism of an internal combustion engine includes an outer arm, an inner arm, a switching device that switches between a coupled state and a non-coupled state, and a lost motion spring. The lost motion spring has an extending portion extending from the outside of the space to the inside of the space. The extending portion has a contact portion that is in contact with the inner arm in the space and being configured to swing in conjunction with swinging of the inner arm. A through-hole is formed in a vertically intermediate portion of the outer arm such that connecting portions are provided at vertically opposite sides of the through-hole, and a portion of the extending portion, a swinging amount of which is smaller than that of the contact portion, passes through the through-hole that allows the portion to swing therein.

    摘要: A lash adjuster includes a plunger having a bottom wall with a valve hole and a peripheral wall having an oil passage hole and an inner periphery formed with a recessed groove, the plunger defining a high-pressure chamber between the bottom wall and a body, and a partitioning member having an oil passage end located above the oil passage hole. The partitioning member has an oil-passage defining portion located opposite the recessed groove and defining an oil passage between itself and a groove face of the recessed groove. The partitioning member defines a low-pressure chamber reserving a hydraulic fluid flowing through the oil passage hole, the oil passage and the oil passage end. The low-pressure chamber causes the reserved hydraulic fluid to flow through the valve hole into the high-pressure chamber. The partitioning member is formed into a cylindrical shape and extends in an up-down direction without any stepped part.
