    摘要: A two-step roller finger follower having a high-lift follower portion that rotates relative to a low-lift follower portion about a pivot shaft, including a lost-motion compression spring disposed in a linear bore formed in the high-lift portion to exert force against an curved pad on the back side of the valve pallet of the low-lift portion. The spring is retained and guided in its bore by a spring retainer having a planar bottom for engaging the curved pad. Preferably the retainer is a cup positioned in the spring bore such that the stroke of the cup is limited, to prevent leak-down of the associated hydraulic lash adjuster. Driving the spring by a linear-acting retainer in a linear bore causes the spring to be compressed linearly, resulting in a highly stable and predictable spring rate.

    摘要: A roller finger follower rocker arm assembly for deactivating an engine valve. A follower body pivots on a hydraulic lash adjuster, and engages a valve stem or lifter. The body receives a reciprocating member having a first and second rollers outboard of the body for following eccentrics of a cam lobe that straddles the body, the body having elongate openings on either side of the reciprocating member. A locking pin selectively locks and unlocks the body to the reciprocating member. The reciprocating member does not make contact with the cam lobe and functions only as a link between the latching mechanism and the rollers. The pin engages the reciprocating member by a latching spring and is disengaged by pressurized oil supplied through the hydraulic lash adjuster. Means is provided for limiting axial growth of the HLA during deactivation mode of the rocker arm assembly.

    摘要: A two-step finger follower rocker arm assembly including a follower body having a socket at a first end for engaging a hydraulic lash adjuster and a pad at an opposite end for engaging a valve stem. A passage through the follower body in the direction of actuation by an engine cam lobe is slidingly receivable of a slider member for variably engaging a central cam lobe, preferably a high-lift lobe. An elongate shaft extends through a transverse bore in the slider member and through a slotted passage in the slider member. In the follower body, the shaft is provided with bearings supporting first and second lateral roller followers on opposite sides of the body for variably engaging first and second preferably low-lift lateral cam lobes flanking the central cam lobe. A lost-motion spring urges the slider member into contact with the central lobe. A latch member driven by a piston selectively locks the slider member to the follower body such that the follower follows the motion of the central cam lobe. When the latch member is disengaged from the slider member, the member slides within the follower body, allowing the lateral rollers to engage and follow the lateral cam lobes. Preferably, the latching mechanism is provided as a pre-assembled cartridge unit.

    摘要: In a fuel-pumping system in an internal combustion engine, a mechanical fuel pump roller actuator is slidably disposed to ride on a dedicated tri-lobate camshaft lobe. In prior art camshaft lobes for this purpose, a portion of the lift profile over a certain angle of camshaft rotation imparts a constant velocity, and hence zero acceleration and zero jerk, to the roller actuator. It has been found that such areas of zero acceleration give rise to undesirably high contact stress between the lobe and the roller actuator. In a method in accordance with the present invention, a reference radius of curvature of a reference camshaft lobe lift profile is adjusted such that, between regions of minimum lift and maximum lift, there are no regions imparting zero acceleration to the actuator and maximum contact stress is reduced.

    摘要: A direct acting hydraulic valve lifter of the type that is reciprocably journaled as in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine so as to be engaged by a cam on an engine driven camshaft to control opening and closing movement of an associate valve. The lifter includes a follower body having a circular outer tubular wall with an inner integral web closely adjacent to one end thereof that terminates at a stepped bored integral depending piston, the one end thereof being closed by a disk cam engaging foot which forms with the piston and a surface of the web a fluid reservoir. A baffle, fixed to the plunger and to inner surface of the tubular wall, defines an oil supply passage which is adapted to receive fluid via a side port in the tubular wall and to be in flow communication with the fluid reservoir via an aperture in the web. A cup-shaped, closed end cylinder member slidably encircles the plunger to form therewith a hydraulic lash adjuster having a pressure chamber therein. In one enbodiment, a mechanical retainer is operatively secured to the tubular wall whereby to retain the cylinder member in unit assembly on the plunger. In a preferred embodiment, lubricating oil in the pressure chamber and in a leak-down flow path between the cylinder member and plunger and a one-way ball valve controlling flow into the pressure chamber are operative to hold the cylinder member in unit assembly on the plunger.

    摘要: A two-step roller finger follower assembly for use in conjunction with a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, wherein the camshaft has at least one first lobe and at least one second lobe. The roller finger follower assembly comprises a follower body for engaging the first cam lobe and having a central aperture, a follower pivotably disposed on the follower body in the central aperture for engaging the second cam lobe, and a limiting stop disposed on the follower body for engaging a feature on the follower to limit travel of the follower body with respect to the follower. The limiting stop prevents overtravel of the follower body during valve-deactivation mode of the assembly, thus preventing excessive leak down of an associated hydraulic lash adjuster.
