    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a camless engine in which a camless system is configured for controlling one or more engine valves of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The system comprises a pneumatic accumulator configured to store compressed air, and at least one pneumatic actuator having a piston rod. The pneumatic actuator is configured for abutment with the engine valves of the internal combustion engine. The system further comprises at least one pneumatic control valve fluidly connected between the pneumatic accumulator and the pneumatic actuator, a sensor configured to sense an engine parameter and to transmit a signal to actuate the pneumatic control valves and an electronic control unit configured to control the pneumatic valves based on the signal received from the sensor.

    摘要: An actuator and a method for controlling such an actuator suitable for operating at least one gas exchange valve arranged in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. The actuator includes: an actuator piston disc, a cylinder volume adapted for the actuator piston disc, where the actuator piston disc divides the cylinder volume in a first portion and a second portion, an inlet channel arranged between a pressure fluid inlet and the first portion of the cylinder volume, a controllable first inlet valve arranged in the inlet channel, a controllable second inlet valve arranged downstream the controllable first inlet valve, an outlet channel arranged between the first portion of the cylinder volume and a pressure fluid outlet, and a controllable outlet valve arranged in the outlet channel.

    摘要: A fully variable electro-hydraulic valve system having a buffering function, comprising: a camshaft (101), a valve assembly (106), a sliding sleeve (103), a spiral shaft (102), a piston (105), and a position restoring spring (104); the sliding sleeve (103) is fixed relative to an engine; the piston (105) abuts against the valve assembly (106); the spiral shaft (102) is controlled by a cam surface of the camshaft (101) in the axial direction; a spiral surface (102E) is provided at a first end of the spiral shaft (102), and a control gear (102A) is provided at a second end thereof; the sliding sleeve (103) is provided with a buffering oil hole (123) that communicates with a buffering cavity (R), and the buffering oil hole (123) communicates with a low-pressure oil circuit of the engine by means of a throttling device (124). When a valve is going to be seated, the piston (105) firstly collides with a buffering ring (121); due to the effect of the throttling device (124), engine oil within the buffering cavity (R) has a damping effect on the movement of the buffering ring (121), such that the valve is slowly seated, thus reducing the impact damage caused to the valve and a sealing surface of a valve seat, thereby effectively prolonging the service life of a valve system.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a method in a two-stroke engine comprising at least one cylinder (1) with a reciprocating piston (2), a delimited combustion space (5), at least one outlet port (7) and an inlet port (9) which are both uncovered at the bottom dead center position of the piston, an actuator (8) which activates a valve (17) to open and introduce combustion air via an inlet pipe (6), a control system (15) which controls the actuator to open the valve in order to introduce combustion air via the inlet port. The invention is characterized in that the inlet port is closed by the piston after the outlet port has been closed, thus the opposite compared to the two-stroke engines of today.

    摘要: The invention relates to a cylinder valve assembly (19) comprising a pneumatic valve spring arrangement (25) including a first (29) and a second (31) valve spring member defining a valve spring cavity (33), and a valve spring venting arrangement (27) comprising a first venting cavity portion (37) in fluid flow connection with the valve spring cavity (33); a second venting cavity portion (39); a movable sealing member (41) arranged to allow a pressure difference between the first venting cavity portion (37) and the second venting cavity portion (39); a feedback channel fluid flow connecting the first venting cavity portion (37) and the second venting cavity portion (39); and a venting channel (53). The sealing member (41) is configured to be movable between a first sealing member position where the sealing member (41) prevents fluid flow from the first venting cavity portion (37) through the venting channel (53); and a second sealing member position where the sealing member (41) allows fluid flow from the first venting cavity portion (37) through the venting channel (53). The valve spring venting arrangement (27) further comprises an elastic member (55) urging the sealing member (41) towards the first sealing member position.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system (100) for operating a valve of an internal combustion engine (10), said system comprising a primary fluid circuit (60) configured to define a fluid passageway for circulating a compressible fluid medium there through being operatively connectable to an actuator (92) of an actuated flow control valve (90, 95) of said internal combustion engine, thereby capable of delivering a valve opening force. The system further comprises: a secondary fluid circuit (80) configured to define a secondary fluid passageway for transporting a compressed fluid medium, and having an inlet passage (87) connectable to a cylinder for receiving the compressed fluid medium; and an auxiliary pressurized system (81) comprising a chamber (83) and at least one reciprocating member (82) operable in said chamber (83), said auxiliary pressurized system (81) being arranged in fluid communication with said secondary fluid circuit (80) and in fluid communication with said primary fluid circuit such that said at least one reciprocating member (82) pressurizes said primary fluid circuit when said compressed fluid medium of the secondary fluid circuit acts on said at least one reciprocating member (82).
