    摘要: A method of heating a catalytic converter of an internal combustion engine, wherein the method comprises the steps of: igniting the gas charge in one of the cylinders in a range from 10° CA before ignition top dead center to 20° CA after ignition top dead center; and opening the exhaust valve of the cylinder exhaust of the cylinder in a range from 30° CA to 55° CA after ignition top dead center. The method allows the catalytic converter of the internal combustion engine to quickly reach operating temperature and thus contributes to the reduction of pollutant emissions. An internal combustion engine is also provided that is designed to carry out the method of the invention for heating a catalytic converter.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine for increasing the freedom of the layout of a rocker arm wherein the rocker arm is lighter. The internal combustion engine includes a camshaft having a first exhaust cam and a second exhaust cam, a first exhaust valve, and a second exhaust valve. The internal combustion engine further includes a first rocker arm for actuating the first exhaust valve to open and close, a second rocker arm for actuating the second exhaust valve to open and close, and a decompression mechanism for lifting the first rocker arm in a valve opening direction at the timing of a compression stroke initiated by the internal combustion engine. The first rocker arm and the second rocker arm are provided with an angular movement transmitter for transmitting a turning force produced by a decompression operator in the valve opening direction from the first rocker arm to the second rocker arm.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a turbocharger, an exhaust-side variable valve, a vacuum servo device, an exhaust-side negative pressure hose, an exhaust-side check valve, a negative pressure supply valve, and circuitry. The exhaust-side negative pressure hose connects the vacuum servo device and a negative pressure extracting portion disposed in the exhaust passage. The exhaust-side check valve is disposed in the exhaust-side negative pressure hose to permit a gas flow only from the vacuum servo device to the exhaust passage. The negative pressure supply valve is provided in the exhaust-side negative pressure hose to open and close the exhaust-side negative pressure hose. The circuitry configured to control the exhaust-side variable valve to delay the valve timing with respect to an exhaust top dead center so as to generate negative pressure in the exhaust passage and to open the negative pressure supply valve while the negative pressure is generated in the exhaust passage.
