2-cycle engine with valve system and method for controlling the engine
The present disclosure relates to a 2-cycle engine with a valve system that generates power during every one crankshaft rotation. The 2-cycle engine of the present disclosure includes the valve system opening and closing an air intake valve and an exhaust valve and includes a turbocharger. In the turbocharger, the air intake valve and the exhaust valve are respectively opened and closed once during one crankshaft rotation, and the valve system is configured to control the turbocharger using difference between an air intake pressure and an exhaust pressure. Accordingly, a current air intake reaches a target air intake.
Opposed-piston internal combustion engine
An opposed-piston internal combustion engine is configured so that one cylinder is provided with two pistons and these pistons reciprocate symmetrically with each other. The engine comprises: an expanded chamber formed at part of a wall of the cylinder positioned between the two pistons when a volume between the two pistons is the minimum and extending in a radial direction of the cylinder; an intake passage communicated with the expanded chamber; an exhaust passage communicated with the expanded chamber; an intake valve opening and closing the intake passage with respect to the expanded chamber; an exhaust valve opening and closing the exhaust passage with respect to the expanded chamber, and crankshafts respectively connected to the pistons. The expanded chamber formed so as to stick out from a wall surface of the cylinder in the same direction as axes of rotation of the crankshafts.
Continuous variable valve duration apparatus and engine provided with the same
A continuous variable valve duration apparatus may include a camshaft, a cam unit on which a cam is formed, wherein the camshaft is inserted into the cam unit, a guide bracket having an upper guide boss formed thereon, an internal wheel transmitting rotation of the camshaft to the cam unit, a wheel housing in which the internal wheel is rotatable inserted, wherein the wheel housing includes a guide shaft on which a guide screw thread is formed and the guide shaft is inserted into the upper guide boss to be movable, a worm wheel to which an internal screw thread engaging with the guide screw thread is formed therewithin, and to which an external screw thread is formed thereon, and a control shaft on which a control worm engaging with the external screw thread is formed.
CONTINUOUS VARIABLE VALVE DURATION APPARATUS AND ENGINE PROVIDED WITH THE SAME
A continuous variable valve duration apparatus may include a camshaft, a cam unit on which a cam is formed, wherein the camshaft is inserted into the cam unit, a guide bracket having an upper guide boss formed thereon, an internal wheel transmitting rotation of the camshaft to the cam unit, a wheel housing in which the internal wheel is rotatable inserted, wherein the wheel housing includes a guide shaft on which a guide screw thread is formed and the guide shaft is inserted into the upper guide boss to be movable, a worm wheel to which an internal screw thread engaging with the guide screw thread is formed therewithin, and to which an external screw thread is formed thereon, and a control shaft on which a control worm engaging with the external screw thread is formed.
OIL CONTROL VALVE FOR CAM PHASER
An oil control valve for controlling a cam phaser includes a valve housing, a recirculation housing, a spool guide, a spool, a first and second recirculation valve, and a one-way inlet valve. The valve housing has a pressure inlet port, a first bore having a first inner surface, a first port, and a second port. The recirculation housing has a first slot, a second slot, a second bore having a second inner surface, and a first outer surface. A first recirculation valve is disposed in the first slot of the recirculation housing. A second recirculation valve is disposed in the second slot of the recirculation housing. The one-way inlet valve disposed in the pressure inlet port. The recirculation housing and spool are each slidingly disposed to have a first, second, and third modes.
Internal combustion engine, straddled vehicle, and method for manufacturing internal combustion engine
An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head including a first valve lifter hole, a first camshaft rotatably supported on the cylinder head, a first valve lifter inserted in the first valve lifter hole, a first valve spring that biases the first valve lifter toward the first cam of the first camshaft, and an oil supply passage having a first oil supply port formed on the inner circumferential surface of the first valve lifter hole and a first passage connected to the first oil supply port. An upper end of the first oil supply port is located upward relative to the upper surface of the first valve lifter when the first valve lifter is in the lower position. A lower end of the first oil supply port is located downward relative to the upper surface of the first valve lifter when the first valve lifter is in the upper position.
Continuously variable valve duration apparatus and engine provided with the same
A continuously variable valve duration apparatus may include a camshaft, a cam unit including a cam, and the camshaft inserted into the cam, a guide shaft on which a guide screw thread is formed and disposed perpendicular to the camshaft, a guide bracket on which the guide shaft is mounted, an inner wheel configured to transmit rotation of the camshaft to the cam unit, a wheel housing into which the inner wheel is rotatably inserted and movable perpendicular to the camshaft, and the wheel housing disposed within the guide bracket, a worm wheel to which an inner screw thread configured to engage with the guide screw thread is formed therewithin, and to which an outer screw thread is formed thereon, and the worm wheel disposed within the wheel housing, a control shaft on which a control worm configured to engage with the outer screw thread is formed.

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, STRADDLED VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head including a first valve lifter hole, a first camshaft rotatably supported on the cylinder head, a first valve lifter inserted in the first valve lifter hole, a first valve spring that biases the first valve lifter toward the first cam of the first camshaft, and an oil supply passage having a first oil supply port formed on the inner circumferential surface of the first valve lifter hole and a first passage connected to the first oil supply port. An upper end of the first oil supply port is located upward relative to the upper surface of the first valve lifter when the first valve lifter is in the lower position. A lower end of the first oil supply port is located downward relative to the upper surface of the first valve lifter when the first valve lifter is in the upper position.
Poppet valve for internal combustion engine
Poppet valve for an internal combustion engine including a valve stem and a single circular valve head attached at one end of the valve stem. The valve head has a circular peripheral contour and an arcuate edge without any sharp elements to avoid turbulence and improve flow around the valve to therefore maximize flow velocity. This translates into increased cylinder breathing in the intake cycle and reducing back pressure in the exhaust cycle.
