摘要:
A valve assembly selectively varies the timing of the valves in an internal combustion engine cycle by way of a first and second camshaft. Each valve has a shuttle portion and a valve portion. Upper and lower cam followers on the shuttle portion engage with first and second cams on each of the first and second camshafts to move the valve between an open and closed position with reference to a valve seat on an engine block.

Embodiments relate generally to energy storage systems, and in particular to energy storage systems using compressed gas as an energy storage medium. In various embodiments, a compressed gas storage system may include a plurality of stages to convert energy into compressed gas for storage, and then to recover that stored energy by gas expansion. In certain embodiments, a stage may comprise a reversible compressor/expander having a reciprocating piston. Pump designs for introducing liquid for heat exchange with the gas, are described. Gas flow valves featuring shroud and/or curtain portions, are also described.

A cam rocker lever comprises an annular piece with an inner diameter, a cam lobe, a first linear portion, and a second linear portion. The cam lobe is disposed within the inner diameter of the annular piece. The first linear portion extends from a first side of the annular piece, and a second linear portion extends from a second side of the annular piece opposite the first side. The first linear portion is configured to connect to a stem of a valve such that the valve is displaced when the first linear portion is displaced.

The invention relates to a valve control means (1) for an internal combustion engine, having two cams (2, 3) which are arranged one behind another on a camshaft (20), the cams (2, 3) having different cam contours, a drag lever system (4), having a first lever (5), a second lever (7) which is connected to the first lever (5) such that it can be rotated about a pivot point (6), and a third lever (8) which is connected fixedly to the first lever (5), the first lever (5) having a roller pickup (15) for a first cam (2) and the second lever (7) having a roller pickup (17) for the second cam (3), the third lever (8) having a slotted guide (9) for the rectilinear positive guidance of a valve (30), the drag lever system (4) being mounted at the pivot point (6) such that it can be adjusted on a circular path (10) about the rotational axis (21) of the camshaft (20) in a cylinder block or cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, and having a play compensation element (11) between the second lever (7) and the first lever (5) or the third lever (8) for play compensation and for limiting the rotatability of the second lever (7) with respect to the first lever (5) and the third lever (8). Furthermore, the invention relates to an internal combustion engine, having at least one valve control means of this type.

An assembly for coupling a valve stem to an actuating member of an actuator in a desmodromic valve actuation mechanism comprises a spherical bearing having two portions each of which defines a respective bearing surface which is complementary to the bearing surface defined by the other portion, at least one of the surfaces being part spherical, one of the portions being arranged to be coupled to the actuating member and the other portion being arranged to be coupled to the valve stem; and a resilient arrangement which exerts a biasing force on one of the bearing portions and provides resilience in the coupling provided by the assembly between the valve stem and actuating member.

A kinetically unyielding, statically compliant (KUSC) positive return valve action. In one embodiment, a guide is pivotally mounted and rotationally abuts a limiting bench. A pin mounted slidably on the guide is linked to a poppet valve, a driver positioning the pin along the guide. With the valve seated and the driver overtraveled a deflection opens up between the guide and the limiting bench that resolves the overtravel, which deflection is opposed by a forcing spring. As the valve is initially lifted, valve-lift kinetic force is buttressed against the guide mount and the limiting bench, neither of which yields. With increasing lift the pin position passes the guide mount axis to be cantilevered on the guide at maximal valve lift against valve-return kinetic force: this also is unyieldingly buttressed. The action is adjusted by positioning the limiting bench either manually or by hydraulic lash adjuster.

The mass production of the MultiAir/UniAir of Fiat/INA proves that the hydraulic control can reliably actuate the valves of the modern internal combustion engines, making them greener. Removing the valve springs from the valves and controlling by the cam not only the valve opening but also the valve restoring, the hydraulic system has easier work to do, the rev limit increases, the height and the cost of the engine decrease and the engine can operate according all the MultiAir strategies.Optionally, the control by high speed solenoid valves can be replaced by easier and cheaper control wherein the rotation of the oil piston is what varies the valve lift and the valve duration. If necessary, slow, cheap, low power servomotors can micro-align the angular displacement of different oil pistons to balance the load between the cylinders.

An engine comprising a valve, cam lobe, rocker, follower member and an optional spring is disclosed herein. The valve may comprise a valve stem. The cam lobe may have a base circle and a nose. The cam lobe may be attached to a rotating shaft. The rocker may have a valve end portion contacting the valve, a lifter end portion defining a pivot axis of the rocker and a cam surface disposed between the valve end portion and the lifter end portion. The nose of the cam lobe may contact the cam surface for opening the valve. The follower member may be disposed adjacent the cam lobe opposite the rocker. The follower member may be attached to the rocker and have a curved inner surface upon which the nose of the cam lobe contacts for lifting the rocker. The spring may be disposed about the valve stem of the valve for closing the valve stem of the valve.

An opposed piston engine includes a valve mechanism for regulating fluid flow through an opening formed in a cylinder of the engine. The mechanism includes a valve operatively coupled to the cylinder so as to be rotatable to a first position to seal the opening and to a second position to unseal the opening, and at least one cam surface operatively coupled to the cylinder so as to be movable with respect to the cylinder to engage the valve so as to produce rotation of the valve.
