摘要: A castellation assembly comprises a lost motion spring assembly, an upper castellation piece, and a lower castellation piece. A spring hat comprises a crown, a pin hole through the crown, and a brim. A lost motion spring is seated against the spring hat.
Upper castellation piece comprises a tubular body, an upper inner rim adjoining the brim, and upper castellation teeth. Lower castellation piece comprises a spring post extending up from a castellation body, the spring post passing through the lost motion spring, and through the pin hole. Lower castellation teeth extend from the castellation body. The lost motion spring is biased against the castellation body to lift the upper inner rim by the brim. A lash screw can house the spring post so that the spring post terminates inside the lash screw. A rocker arm is an example of a castellation assembly installation.-

摘要: A latch assembly comprises a latch pin configured to reciprocate in a latch bore. The latch pin comprises a main body comprising a first plug end, a second plug end, and a clearance between the first plug end and the second plug end. The latch pin is configured to selectively move in the latch bore. A rocker arm assembly can comprise the latch assembly. An outer arm can be configured to rotate about a rocker shaft and comprise the latch bore. An inner arm can at least be partially disposed within the outer arm and configured to rotate. When the latch pin is in the activated position, the inner arm is configured to transfer force to the outer arm via the latch pin. When the latch pin is in the deactivated position, the inner arm is configured to move in the clearance and in the lost motion gap.

摘要: A type III rocker arm assembly operable in a first mode and a second mode based on rotation of a cam shaft includes a rocker shaft and a first rocker arm assembly. The first rocker arm assembly receives the rocker shaft and is configured to rotate around the rocker shaft in the first mode based on engagement with the first cam lobe. The first rocker arm assembly collectively comprises a valve side rocker arm, a cam side rocker arm and a latch pin. The valve side rocker arm defines a valve side rocker arm bore. The cam side rocker arm defines a cam side rocker arm bore. The latch pin assembly is received by the valve and cam side rocker arm bores and selectively couples the valve side rocker arm and the cam side rocker arm for concurrent movement in the first mode.

摘要: A valve actuation system comprises a valve actuation motion source configured to provide a main valve actuation motion and an auxiliary valve actuation motion for actuating at least one engine valve via a valve actuation load path. A lost motion subtracting mechanism is arranged in a pre-rocker arm valve train component and configured, in a first default operating state, to convey at least the main valve actuation motion and configured, in a first activated state, to lose the main valve actuation motion and the auxiliary valve actuation motion. Additionally, a lost motion adding mechanism is arranged in a valve bridge and configured, in a second default operating state, to lose the auxiliary valve actuation motion and configured, in a second activated state, to convey the auxiliary valve actuation motion, wherein the lost motion adding mechanism is in series with the lost motion subtracting mechanism in the valve actuation load path.

摘要: A Type II valvetrain and engine brake arrangement includes a hydraulic brake housing mountable to a valve block of the engine. A brake piston is coupled to a brake rod and a brake cam lobe and is movable between an activated position and a non-activated position. A finger follower is disposed relative to the brake housing so that the brake rod engages the finger follower at least when the brake piston is in the activated position. When the brake piston is in a non-activated position, the finger follower is configured to pivot about a pivot as the finger follower follows a valve cam lobe to effect lifting and seating of a cylinder valve of an engine cylinder. When the brake piston is in the activated position, the finger follower, at least in part, pivots from about the pivot and the brake rod engages an end of the finger follower to lift the cylinder valve and release compression from the engine cylinder.

摘要: A method for operating a reciprocating internal combustion engine in an engine braking mode includes, in a working cycle of the engine braking mode, a first outlet valve of a first cylinder is closed for a first time, then opened for a first time, and subsequently closed for a second time, and then opened for a second time, in order to thereby discharge gas that has been compressed in the first cylinder from the first cylinder by a cylinder piston. The outlet valve is held open after the first opening and prior to the second closing long enough for the cylinder to be filled with gas that flows out of a second cylinder via at least one outlet channel, where when the engine braking mode is activated, at least one camshaft for activating at least one gas exchange valve of the reciprocating internal combustion engine is adjusted.

摘要: A system includes an engine with a plurality of pistons housed in respective ones of a plurality of cylinders, an air intake system provides air to the plurality of cylinders through respective ones of a plurality of intake valves, an exhaust system to release exhaust gas from the plurality of cylinders through one of a plurality of exhaust valves, and a controller coupled to a sensor to control a switching tappet for compression release braking. Alternatively to a tappet, the system includes a roller finger follower controlling an opening and closing timing of exhaust valves, the roller finger follower has an inner roller follower arm adjacent an outer sliding follower, and a controller that in response to an engine braking request locks the inner roller follower arm with the outer sliding follower to contact a second cam lobe and open the exhaust valve during a compression stroke of the cylinder.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for improving fuel economy and reducing undesired emissions. In one example, a method may include in response to an engine speed being within a first threshold speed of an engine idle speed during a speed reduction request with engine cylinders unfueled, maintaining the cylinders unfueled, and controlling the engine to a desired stopping position responsive to the engine speed being greater than a second threshold speed lower than the idle speed. In this way, fuel usage and emissions may be reduced and engine restart requests may be conducted at least in part via vehicle inertia.
