    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a camless engine in which a camless system is configured for controlling one or more engine valves of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The system comprises a pneumatic accumulator configured to store compressed air, and at least one pneumatic actuator having a piston rod. The pneumatic actuator is configured for abutment with the engine valves of the internal combustion engine. The system further comprises at least one pneumatic control valve fluidly connected between the pneumatic accumulator and the pneumatic actuator, a sensor configured to sense an engine parameter and to transmit a signal to actuate the pneumatic control valves and an electronic control unit configured to control the pneumatic valves based on the signal received from the sensor.

    摘要: An electromagnetic valve actuator and method of control thereof. The electromagnetic valve actuator is for at least one valve of an internal combustion engine, the electromagnetic valve actuator comprising: a rotor; a stator for rotating the rotor; output means for actuating the valve in dependence on rotation of the rotor; mechanical energy storage means arranged to store energy in dependence on rotation of the rotor and release the energy to assist rotation of the rotor and phase varying means for varying a phase between the mechanical energy storage means and the output means.

    摘要: A fully variable electro-hydraulic valve system having a buffering function, comprising: a camshaft (101), a valve assembly (106), a sliding sleeve (103), a spiral shaft (102), a piston (105), and a position restoring spring (104). The sliding sleeve (103) is fixed relative to an engine, the piston (105) abuts against the valve assembly (106), and the spiral shaft (102) is controlled by a cam surface of the camshaft (101) in the axial direction. sliding sleeve (103) is provided with a buffering oil hole (123) that communicates with a buffering cavity (R) and with a low-pressure oil circuit of the engine by means of a throttling device (124). When a valve is going to be seated, the piston collides with a buffering ring (121), and due to the effect of the throttling device, engine oil within the buffering cavity has a damping effect on the movement of the buffering ring.

    摘要: A pressure fluid handling system includes a closed pressure fluid circuit. The pressure fluid circuit includes, connected in series, a compressor and a pressure sink and a primary pressure fluid route from the compressor to the pressure sink and a secondary pressure fluid route from the pressure sink to the compressor. The pressure fluid handling system further includes a pressure fluid accumulator connected to the pressure fluid circuit via a first pressure fluid accumulator conduit. The first pressure fluid accumulator conduit includes a pump configured to pump pressure fluid from the pressure fluid circuit to the pressure fluid accumulator to lower the pressure levels in the pressure fluid circuit, and in that the pressure fluid handling system includes a controllable component for returning the pressure fluid from the pressure fluid accumulator to the pressure fluid circuit to increase the pressure levels in the pressure fluid circuit.
