A link mechanism usable for a variable compression ratio mechanism of an internal combustion engine includes first and second links pivotally connected by a pin inserted through cylindrical first and second pin boss portions of the first and second links. Each of the first and second pin boss portions includes a circumferentially extending first narrow section, and a circumferentially extending first wide section having an axial wall thickness greater than the axial wall thickness of the first narrow section. The wide sections of the first and second pin boss portions are overlapped in an region extending in the axial direction of the pin.

In a rockable-cam equipped reciprocating internal combustion engine, a rockable cam is rotatably fitted on the outer periphery of an intake-valve drive shaft that is rotatable in synchronism with rotation of a crankshaft. The rockable cam oscillates within predetermined limits during rotation of the intake-valve drive shaft so as to directly push an intake-valve lifter. As viewed from an axial direction of the crankshaft, an axis of the intake-valve drive shaft is offset from a centerline of the intake-valve stem in a first direction that is normal to both the cylinder centerline and the crankshaft axis and directed from the cylinder centerline to the intake valve side. The crankshaft axis is also offset from the cylinder centerline in the first direction.

In an internal combustion engine of variable compression ratio type, a piston control mechanism is employed which comprises a lower link rotatably disposed on a crank pin of a crankshaft of the engine, an upper link having one end pivotally connected to the lower link and the other end pivotally connected to a piston of the engine, a control link having one end pivotally connected to the lower link; and a position changing mechanism which changes a supporting axis about which the other end of the control link turns. When the piston comes up to a top dead center, a compression load is applied to the control link in an axial direction of the control link in accordance with an upward inertial load of the piston.

In a variable compression ratio mechanism for an internal combustion engine employing an upper link, a lower link, and a control link, the lower link includes a crankpin bearing portion into which a crankpin is fitted, a first connecting-pin bearing portion into which a first connecting pin for the upper link is fitted, and a second connecting-pin bearing portion into which a second connecting pin for the control link is fitted. A central connecting portion is provided to connect an axial central portion of at least one of the first and second connecting-pin bearing portions to an axial central portion of the crankpin bearing portion. The central connecting portion has an axial length L1 shorter than each of an axial length L2 of the crankpin bearing portion, an axial length L3 of the first connecting-pin bearing portion, and an axial length L4 of the second connecting-pin bearing portion.

A link mechanism of an engine includes: an upper link having a first end connected to a piston pin of a piston; a lower link connected to the upper link via an upper pin having a center, the lower link being connected to a crank pin of a crank shaft; a control shaft extending substantially in parallel with the crank shaft, the control shaft having a rotational center; and a control link including: a first end swingably connected to the control shaft, and a second end connected to the lower link. In a process of the center of the upper pin moving nearer to the axial line of the piston pin, the center of the control pin moves in the upward direction, thus inclining the lower link and allowing the center of the upper pin and the center of the piston pin to move in the downward direction.

A control system for an internal combustion engine is provided. The engine includes a compression ratio control mechanism and an ignition timing control system. The control system comprises an engine control for controlling the compression ratio control mechanism and the ignition timing control system so that when the engine is cold, the ignition timing is retarded largely from an MBT point and the compression ratio is set higher than that obtained when the engine is cold and operated at corresponding engine rpm and engine load. A method for controlling such an internal combustion engine is also provided.

A control system for an internal combustion engine is provided which comprises a compression ratio control mechanism and a control unit for controlling the compression ratio control mechanism. The control unit including an acceleration parameter obtaining section for obtaining an acceleration parameter corresponding to a change of an engine speed, an acceleration determining section for determining whether the engine is in a slow or fast acceleration state on the basis of the acceleration parameter, and a control section for controlling at least one of a compression ratio change speed at which the engine compression ratio during engine acceleration is changed and a compression ratio change start time at which a change of the engine compression ratio during engine acceleration is started, on the basis of whether the engine is in a slow or fast acceleration state. A control method is also provided.

A reciprocating engine with a variable compression ratio mechanism is disclosed. A lubrication system of the engine is improved by controlling an oil pressure according to a compression ratio setting. The lubrication system includes various combinations of control valves and oil passages. The oil relief passage is opened at a high compression ratio setting applied to a low engine load range and is otherwise closed at a low compression ratio setting applied to a high engine load range.

In a reciprocating piston engine employing a variable compression ratio mechanism linked to a reciprocating piston for variably adjusting a geometrical compression ratio by varying at least a piston top dead center position, so that the top dead center position obtained at a low geometrical compression ratio is set to be lower than that at a high geometrical compression ratio, responsively to a controlled variable, a controller is configured to set a target compression ratio to a high value at low engine load operation, and to a relatively low value at high engine load operation. A substantially entire area of a crown of the piston, defining a part of a wall surface of a combustion chamber, is formed of a non-metallic material having a higher heat-insulating and heat-reserving property as compared to a base structural material of each of the combustion chamber and the piston.

An internal combustion engine includes a piston adapted to reciprocate in a cylinder. The piston includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion of the piston forms a crown surface of the piston, the second portion of the piston forms a piston ring groove of the piston with the piston ring groove arranged and configured to receive a piston ring, and the third portion of the piston forms a crankcase side surface of the piston with the crankcase side surface facing a crankcase of the engine. The second portion of the piston is formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than a material forming the first portion of the piston and a material forming a third portion of the piston.
