摘要:
Methods and systems are provided for monitoring cylinder valve deactivation in an engine operating with a plurality of cylinder valves. One example method comprises, sensing a plurality of cylinder valve positions of a plurality of cylinder valves; and combining the plurality of sensed positions to form a combined cylinder valve signal. The method may further include identifying valve degradation and differentiating valve degradation among the plurality of cylinder valves based on the combined cylinder valve signal and an expected value of the signal, and further based on a crank angle at which the expected value differs from the combined signal.

A process for controlling an internal combustion engine, in which an actual position of a reciprocating gas valve is detected by a position sensor, a positional deviation is calculated from the actual position and a zero position, a total length change of the reciprocating gas valve is calculated as a function of the temperature of the reciprocating gas valve, a valve clearance of the reciprocating gas valve is determined from the positional deviation and the total length change, and the further operation of the internal combustion engine is determined on the basis of the valve clearance.

A control valve assembly includes a valve body having a valve opening, a first pressure passage, a second pressure passage, and a valve body land. A valve member is received in the valve opening for movement between an open position and a closed position. The valve member includes a first valve member land and a second valve member land. The first valve member land and the valve body land cooperate to define a first metering flow passage and a second metering flow passage. The first and second metering flow passages are configured to impart a hydrodynamic force on the valve member during fluid flow through the valve body, which biases the valve member toward the open position or the closed position.

A hydraulic valve driving device includes a valve actuator operable to drive an engine valve, a hydraulic pump that generates the oil pressure for the valve actuator, a hydraulic pump driving motor that drives the hydraulic pump, and a starter motor. At the time of engine starting, after the hydraulic pump is driven by the hydraulic pump driving motor while the crank is stopped in the first engine-starting mode, and then the crank and the hydraulic pump are driven by the starter motor in the second engine-starting mode.

A value characteristic changing apparatus for an internal combustion engine according to the invention is provided with an intake-side variable valve timing mechanism that changes a valve timing of an intake valve of an internal combustion engine, and an exhaust-side variable valve timing mechanism that changes a valve timing of an exhaust valve. The intake-side variable valve mechanism is a mechanism that uses an storage battery as a power source; the exhaust-side variable valve timing mechanism is a mechanism that uses a hydraulic pump of an engine driving type as a power source.

A valve control system particularly adapted to engines having four valves per engine cylinder, the valve system including an electronically controlled valve lifter that operates in conjunction with the actuating cam enabling the effective timing and displacement of the valve to be varied within certain ranges accordance with engine operating conditions and demand under the electronic control of a microprocessor.
摘要:
A durable system for controlling variable valve actuation of an engine valve corresponding to a cylinder of an automobile engine. The system includes first and second crowned cams having first and second lift profiles and a rocker arm assembly. The rocker assembly includes a first arm having an end connected to said engine valve, having a high impact roller following the first crowned cam operating the engine valves according to a first lift profile. The rocker arm assembly also includes a second arm having durable slider pads riding on the second crowned cam to operate said engine valve according to a second lift profile. A latch secures the second arm relative to the first arm when in a latched position causing the valve to operate according to a second lift profile. The valve operates according to a first lift profile when the latch is not in the latched position.

A modified rocker assembly having an offset end is designed for engine heads having an obstruction preventing use of a symmetric switching rocker arm. The modified rocker assembly has an obstructed side and a non-obstructed side and has an outer structure with a first end, and an inner rocker structure fitting within the outer structure, the inner structure also having a first end. The modified rocker assembly has an axle pivotally connecting the first ends of inner structure to the outer structure, such that the inner structure pivots within the outer structure around the axle. At least one torsion spring on one side of the axle rotationally biases the inner structure relative to the outer structure. The outer structure is offset on the obstructed side as it extends from the second end toward the first end, creating the first offset portion to provide additional clearance on the obstructed side.

Methods and systems are provided for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of an engine. In one example, a system may include a hollow cone-shaped injector and a control unit to control the injector. The control unit may detect the position of an inlet valve and trigger the injection process, wherein the injector may be configured to spray fuel out of an inlet duct, through an annular gap, and into the combustion chamber of an engine in an injection process.
