    摘要: An engine valve system comprises two cams (10,12) mounted coaxially, a summation rocker (14) coupled to followers (16,18) of both cams and movable in proportion to the instantaneous sum of the lifts of the respective cams, and a valve actuating rocker (20) pivotably coupled to the summation rocker (14) and operative to open an engine valve (22) in dependence upon the movement of the summation rocker (14). In the invention, the actuating rocker (20) rests on a hydraulic lash adjuster (24). A control spring (136) is provided to urge the summation rocker (14) in a direction to compress the hydraulic lash adjuster (24). A stop (138) associated with the control spring (136) limits the movement of the summation rocker (14) towards the lash adjuster (24) so as to set the clearance in the valve system when the valve (22) is closed and the cam followers (16,18) are on the base circles of the two cams (10,12).

    摘要: A mechanism for actuating an engine poppet valve includes two rotatable cams, a first rocker mounted on a pivot shaft and acting between a first of the two cams and the stem of the valve, and a second rocker mounted for rotation about a fixed axis and acting between the second of the two cams and the pivot shaft of the first rocker to raise and lower the pivot axis of the first rocker cyclically in synchronism with the rotation of the second cam, whereby the valve is operated in dependence upon the instantaneous sum of the lifts of the two cams. In the invention, an element of the valve actuating mechanism transmitting force from one of the cams to the valve stem is formed in two parts, one part movable by the associated cam and the other transmitting force to the valve stem, and a latching mechanism is provided for selectively locking the two parts of the element for movement in unison with one another and disconnecting the two parts of the element from one another to inhibit transmission of force from the associated cam to the valve stem. The latching mechanism is such that a change of state from locked to disconnected and vice versa can only take place when at least one of the two rockers is at or near the base circle of the associated cam and the change of state is initiated by the movement of the rocker system whilst the poppet valve is closed.

    摘要: A variable phase drive mechanism is described for providing drive from an engine crankshaft to two sets of cams. The drive mechanism comprises a drive member 32 connectable for rotation with the engine crankshaft and two driven members 38 and 40, each connectable for rotation with a respective one of the two sets of cams. Each of the driven members 38, 40 is connected by a vane-type hydraulic coupling for rotation with the drive member 32. The hydraulic coupling between the drive and driven members is such as to enable the angular position of each of the driven members 38 and 40 to be varied relative to the drive member 32 independently of the other driven member.

    摘要: A variable phase coupling 10 is disclosed for connecting a crankshaft of an engine to a camshaft 16. The coupling 10 comprises a drive member 14, 18 having a first set of grooves 20, a driven member 26 having a second set of grooves 28 and mounted in a fixed axial position relative to the drive member 18 and an intermediate member 30 movable axially in relation to the drive and driven members. Grooves are arranged on the same side of the intermediate member to face the grooves of both the drive member and the driven member. A first set of balls 36 is engaged in the grooves 20 of the drive member 18 and the intermediate member 30 and a second set of balls 34 is engaged in the grooves 28 of the driven member 26 and the intermediate member 30 so as to transmit torque from the drive member to the driven member through the intermediate member. At least some of the grooves are helical grooves so that the relative phase of the drive and driven members varies in dependence of the axial position of the intermediate member 30.
