    摘要: A rocker arm comprises an actuator piston slidably disposed in an actuator piston bore formed in a motion imparting end thereof. A lash adjustment assembly is disposed in the motion imparting end and comprises an internal bore. A hydraulic passage is in fluid communication with the actuator piston bore and the internal bore. A resetting assembly is disposed in the lash adjustment assembly and comprises a reset slider and a checking element in fluid communication with the internal bore. The reset slider is slidably disposed in the internal bore and has a first end configured to engage a valve train component or engine valve, and has a second end with a resetting pin disposed thereon configured to contact and place the checking element in an unchecked state in response to positioning of the rocker arm when the first end contacts the valve train component or engine valve.

    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: In an embodiment, an internal combustion engine comprises a plurality of cylinders, each of the plurality of cylinders comprising at least one intake deactivator operatively connected to at least one intake valve and at least one exhaust deactivator operatively connected to at least one exhaust. An intake deactivator controller is operatively connected to the intake deactivators associated with at least two cylinders of the plurality of cylinders, and an exhaust deactivator controller is operatively connected to the exhaust deactivators associated with the at least two cylinders. In another embodiment, only a single deactivator controller is operatively connected to both the intake deactivators and to the exhaust deactivators associated with the at least two cylinders of the plurality of cylinders.

    摘要: A system that provides adjustable actuation timing of one or more valve(s) (16) in a piston engine includes a position sensor (12) and a variable valve actuation assembly (10). The valve(s) (16) can be intake and/or exhaust valves in an internal combustion engine of an automobile. The position sensor (12) takes position readings of the valve(s) (16) as the valve(s) (16) actuate in the piston engine. The variable valve actuation assembly (10) controls actuation timing of the valve(s) (16). Actuation timing of the valve(s) (16) is adjustable based, in part or more, upon one or more position reading(s) of the position sensor (12). The variable valve actuation assembly (10) can be a lost motion assembly (10).
