An engine valve actuation system comprises a camshaft, with at least one cam; a control shaft one; a control shaft two; and at least one valve actuation unit, each valve actuation unit further comprising: (i) at least one set of an engine valve and an engine-valve return spring; (ii) an lost-motion module, further comprising a collapsible high-pressure chamber, and operably converting the profile of at least one cam and the collapsing motion from the high-pressure chamber to corresponding movement of the at least one engine valve; and (iii) a hydraulic circuit, further comprising a trigger valve one and a trigger valve two, the two trigger valve being controlled respectively by the control shaft one and the control shaft two.

A continuously variable valve lift apparatus may include a camshaft, a cam portion on which a cam is formed and into which the camshaft is inserted, a slider housing into which the cam portion is rotatably inserted and disposed to be rotatable around a pivot shaft, a control portion configured to selectively rotate the slider housing around the pivot shaft, a rotation deliverer configured to transmit rotation of the camshaft to the cam portion, an output portion rotatable around the pivot shaft and on which a valve shoe is formed, and a valve device configured to be driven by the valve shoe.

A modularized multifunctional variable valve actuation system for use in a six-cylinder internal combustion engine. The system mainly comprises fuel supply modules (5 and 6), a phase limiting module (2), a mode selection module (22), control modules (3 and 4), a fuel transfer module (7), and a valve actuation module (1). The phase limiting module (2), with an extremely simple structure, implements a valve closing process not limited by operational phases of the fuel supply modules (5 and 6), and at the same time, requires only two fuel supply modules (5 and 6) and two two-way two-position valves (141, 142, and 143) to implement a continuously variable valve event, and requires only two fuel supply modules (5 and 6), two three-way two-position valves (191, 192, and 193), and one two-way two-position valve (141, 142, and 143) to implement a fully variable valve event, thus greatly reducing costs. The mode selection module (22) implements flexible conversion of an actuation mode and a braking mode of an internal combustion engine. Components of the system are functionally independent, modules are selected on the basis of requirements such as a gas distribution mode, the flexibility of valve operations, and the presence or absence of the braking mode, and the need for altering other modules is obviated. Thus, the system has a great suitability and a wide range of applications.
