    摘要: An exhaust rocker assembly for operating an exhaust valve of an engine during a compression-release engine braking operation. The exhaust rocker assembly comprises an exhaust rocker arm and a self-contained compression brake control module (CBCM) mounted to the exhaust rocker arm and operatively coupled to the exhaust valve for controlling a lift and a phase angle thereof. The CBCM includes a casing, an actuation piston disposed outside the casing so as to define an actuation piston cavity, a reset check valve provided between the casing and the actuation piston, and a compression brake actuator disposed in the casing. The actuation piston reciprocates relative to the casing. The compression brake actuator includes a control piston. The control piston engages the check valve when deactivated so as to unlock the actuation piston cavity and disengages from the check valve when activated so as to lock the actuation piston cavity.

    摘要: A castellation assembly (600) can comprise a first toothed body (601) comprising a first toothed end (611) and a biased end (610) comprising a projecting lever (615). The projecting lever can be configured to extend out from the biased end and contact an actuation lever throughout a travel of the first toothed body. The second toothed body can comprise a base (620) and a second toothed end (621) configured to mesh between or stack against the first toothed end. A castellation spring (630) can be configured to push the first and second toothed body apart. An actuator assembly (40) can actuate the castellation assembly and comprise an actuating lever assembly (50) configured to reciprocate between a contacting position against the projecting lever and a clearance position spaced from the projecting lever. A rocker arm (100) in a valvetrain can be controlled for variable valve actuation thereby.

    摘要: A lash compensator for a valve train component of an internal combustion engine is provided that includes an end-cap arranged within a reverse-spring control valve assembly of an axially moveable piston. The piston has a first reservoir and an inner radial wall configured with a through-aperture. The reverse-spring control valve assembly has a control valve housing, a bias spring, an end-cap, and a closing body. The end-cap is configured with a cupped end; an inner side of the cupped end receives a second lower end of the bias spring, and an outer side of the cupped end engages an upper portion of the closing body. The end-cap minimizes or eliminates the variation in flow resistance caused by a variation in end-coil geometry of the second lower end of the bias spring.
