    摘要: A drive plate assembly includes a plate member adapted for mounting to an engine block. The plate member has first and second gears mounted thereto such that they intermesh. The backlash of the gears is predetermined by mounting to the plate member and unaffected by mounting the plate member to the engine block. A method of assembling a powertrain is also provided.

    摘要: An engine drive assembly includes a camshaft gear, and a first idler gear engaged with the camshaft gear. The engine drive assembly further includes a crankshaft gear engaged with the first idler gear and a second idler gear assembly engaged with the crankshaft gear. Additionally, the engine drive assembly includes a balance shaft gear engaged with the second idler gear. The crankshaft gear drives the camshaft gear via the first idler gear and the crankshaft gear drives the balance shaft gear via the second idler gear assembly.

    摘要: The rotary valve assembly of the present invention employs a rotary valve body member that is rotatably mounted in a cylindrical opening in a valve casing forming the head above a piston. The axis of this opening and the rotary valve are perpendicular to the axis of the piston and its associated cylinder walls. The intake and exhaust ports are openings that pass through the valve casing from its outer edge to the cylindrical opening containing the rotary valve. There is also a cylinder port between the cylindrical opening in the valve casing and the cylinder containing the piston. The rotary valve body has a circular cutout or scoop portion removed therefrom to allow intake gases to flow from the intake port via this cutout into the cylinder port and then into the cylinder. This same cutout also allows gases to pass from the cylinder port into the exhaust system via the exhaust port. The rotary valve is preferably integral with and driven by a shaft mounted in sealed bearings (mounted in the valve casing) and the shaft is in turn driven mechanically by appropriate coupling to or with the crankshaft. There is no metal-to-metal contact between the rotary valve body and the opening in the head and thus, no need for a separate lubrication supply. The cylindrical opening in the head contains a plurality of non-metallic sealing members which contact the rotary valve body. The rotary valve body has spacers on both sides to prevent metal-to-metal contact with the walls of the cylindrical opening.

    摘要: Arrangements for stabilizing valve timing adjustment mechanisms such as cam phasers during operation of an engine are described. The described approaches are particularly well suited for use during skip fire control, although they may be used advantageously in other applications as well. In general, the phase of an adjustable phase camshaft is controlled relative to a crankshaft of an engine. In one aspect, at least one of (i) firing events in a skip fire firing sequence, and (ii) dynamically determined valve actuation events are used in the control of the camshaft phase during operation of the engine. In some embodiments, hydraulic pressure within a cam phaser is varied in a manner that maintains the phase of the camshaft substantially more stable through transitory variations in torque applied to the camshaft by the actuation of the valves than would occur without the variations in hydraulic pressure.

    摘要: A camshaft assembly may include a first shaft adapted to be rotationally driven, a first lobe member fixed for rotation with the first shaft, and a torsional damper fixed to the first shaft. The torsional damper may include a mass structure fixed to the first shaft and an elastic member disposed between and coupling the mass structure and the first shaft. The elastic member may have a spring constant providing a first sideband natural frequency and a second sideband natural frequency for the camshaft assembly.
