Abstract:
A fuel pump includes: a housing with fuel reservoir; first and second axles; respective pluralities of cams fixedly secured to each axle. The first axle and cams are rotated by gas pedal actuation, and meshed gears cause co-rotation of the second axle and its cams. A plurality of housing conduits each have first conduit portions in fluid communication with the fuel reservoir, which transition into second conduit portions in fluid communication with a fuel injector. Pusher rods slidable in each second conduit portion contact spring-biased balls. The gears, cams, and pusher rods ends are positioned in the fuel reservoir. Spring-biased balls also normally block the first conduits. Rotation of the first axle for increased crankshaft rotation speed causes simultaneous rotation of every cam, and each increment of cam rotation into second, third, fourth, and fifth rotational positions sequentially drives a respective pusher rod to provide incremental increased fuel flow.
Abstract:
Provided is a variable valve device for an internal combustion engine. The variable valve device includes intake- and exhaust-side swing arms that pivot to open and close intake valves and exhaust valves in two cylinders #1, #2, intake- and exhaust-side hydraulic lash adjusters that serve as pivot points of the respective swing arms, a variable valve system that continuously varies valve lift characteristics of the intake valves and lost motion mechanisms that stop opening and closing of the intake exhaust valves by lost motion of the intake- and exhaust-side hydraulic lash adjusters on the cylinder #1. The maximum valve lifts of the intake valves are set larger than valve lifts of the exhaust valves. The minimum valve lifts of the intake valves are set smaller than the valve lifts of the exhaust valves.
Abstract:
The angular timing relationship of the cams opening and closing the inlet and exhaust valves of an internal combustion engine can be varied while the engine is running to improve combustion efficiency. The angular relationship is varied by shifting of idler rollers 78, 80 acting on the camshaft driving timing chain adjusted by providing two cams 108, 110 for the same valve intake 104 so that cam 108 controls opening and cam 110 controls closing. Exhaust valve 105 has its opening controlled by cam 115 and its closing controlled by cam 113. An idler 122 between the two camshafts controlling cams 110 and 115 acts on the timing chain. The timing is also varied by moving the pivot point 104 of the rocker arm 62 to obtain later closing of the inlet and earlier opening of the exhaust valve 46 at high speed. Valve timing and duration is also controlled by adjusting the length of the push rod 108 and its point of contact with rocker arm 62.
Abstract:
The present invention features a valve train for inducing reciprocative motion in a valve which includes a lever pivotally mounted at one end thereof, a rocker arm which engages the lever to define a fulcrum point therebetween, and which engages a valve at one end thereof, a first cam which engages the other end of the rocker arm, a second cam which engages the top of the lever and a mechanism which guidingly interconnects the rocker arm, at a point intermediate of the ends thereof, with the lever for preventing relative slip therebetween and for ensuring that a cam following portion of the rocker arm smoothly follows the first cam.
Abstract:
An efficient internal combustion engine including a housing such as a cylinder block, cylinder covers and one or more pairs of working piston and auxiliary piston, moving in the working cylinder and auxiliary cylinder respectively. For each pair of working piston and auxiliary piston, the engine also has rods operatively connected to working piston and auxiliary piston, intake valve, operatively connected to the intake channel in the cylinder block, exhaust valve, operatively connected to the exhaust channel in the cylinder block, and two bypass valves located between the working cylinder and auxiliary cylinder. The engine also has a crankshaft that also functions as a camshaft, rod pushers for pushing special nozzles and valves, flywheel, Hydro-compensators and preferably a high pressure fuel pump (HPFP). No cylinder heads or separate camshafts are used in the present invention.
Abstract:
An improved length adjustable pushrod device for disposition in an internal combustion engine between a rocker arm and a cam shaft comprises a base rod section having a hollow interior extending between an inward seat within the hollow interior and an outward opening at one end of the base rod section and an extension rod section having one end thereof insertable telescopically through the outward opening at the one end of the base rod section and into the hollow interior thereof. The base and extension rod sections define a collective length of the pushrod device when assembled. At least one shim is provided for selective disposition in the hollow interior of the base rod section between the seat thereof and the one end of the extension rod section for selectively varying the collective assembled length of the base and extension rod sections.
Abstract:
A valve control apparatus includes first and second engine valves; a first drive cam configured to rotate integrally with the drive shaft; a second drive cam provided on the drive shaft and configured to rotate integrally with the drive shaft; a swing cam configured to swing; a transmission mechanism configured to convert a rotation of the first drive cam into a swinging force and to transmit the swinging force to the swing cam; a first swing arm configured to open the first engine valve by a swing of the swing cam; a second swing arm configured to open the second engine valve by a rotation of the second drive cam; a control mechanism configured to vary a swing amount of the swing cam by varying an attitude of the transmission mechanism; and a connection changeover mechanism configured to connect and disconnect the first swing arm with/from the second swing arm.
