摘要: A switching finger follower for an engine valve train utilizes an adjustable support assembly that eliminates potential for partial engagement during operation. A lever engagement member or latch is disposed for movement on the follower body and interacts with a lever to provide a constant contact geometry. The finger follower may be configured as a lost motion device and may include a biasing assembly and a travel limiter. The latch may support the lever in at least one precise position and may support the lever in a second position for partial lost motion, or permit the lever to pivot free of the latch for complete lost motion, as in cylinder deactivation applications.

摘要: Systems for valve actuation in internal combustion engines provide configurations for hydraulic lash adjusters and valve actuation valvetrain components that are particularly suitable for prevention of HLA jacking in lost motion cam environments and in valve bridge environments. In one implementation, a rocker arm may transmit motion from a lost motion cam having main event and auxiliary event lobes. Main event motion is transmitted to two engine valves through the rocker arm, a lash adjuster, lash adjuster loading component and valve bridge, which define part of a first load path. Braking motion is transmitted to one of the engine valves through an inboard valve actuator and bridge pin, which define part of a second load path. The HLA is thus disposed in a separate load path from the braking valve load and the lash adjuster loading component keeps the lash adjuster under a constant compressive force to prevent jacking.

摘要: Systems for valve actuation in internal combustion engines with a dedicated rocker for actuating the at least one of two or more engine valves in a braking operation may include a biasing component, such as a compression spring, tension spring, spring catch, hydraulic actuator, pneumatic actuator for biasing the dedicated rocker in a biased direction away from the motion source, and a limiting component, such as a physical stop including a set screw or a stop integrated in the biasing component, for limiting the motion of the dedicated rocker in the biased direction. The biasing component and limiting component maintain the dedicated rocker in a controlled state and a positive, neutral position during operation.

摘要: Variable-length assemblies, including lost motion assemblies eliminate hydraulic or pneumatic working fluids for operation in internal combustion engine valve trains and may be integrated into valve rocker arm pivots. An example piston and actuating plate are provided with working surfaces that interact when the actuating plate is rotated relative to the piston. The working surfaces include ramped transition portions and may include upper and lower flat portions. A shallow ramp angle prevents counter-rotation of the actuating plate under load. Actuating assemblies include an actuating solenoid includes a plunger that engages and pivots the actuating arm to cause rotation of the actuating plate relative to the piston and changes the state of the lost motion assembly from an “off” state, where motion may be absorbed, to an “on” state where the lost motion assembly is rigid and does not absorb motion.

摘要: A combined dedicated braking and EEVO lost motion valve actuation systems for internal combustion engines provide subsystems for braking events and EEVO events on one or more cylinders. Various control strategies may utilize braking and EEVO capabilities to module one or more engine parameters, including aftertreatment temperature and engine load.
