Definitions

  • the present invention relates to systems and methods for actuating valves in internal combustion engines.
  • the present invention relates to systems and methods for actuating valves using a one or more rocker arms.
  • the engine completes a full cycle made up of four strokes (i.e., expansion, exhaust, intake, and compression). Both the intake and exhaust valves may be closed, and remain closed, during most of the expansion stroke wherein the piston is traveling away from the cylinder head (i.e., the volume between the cylinder head and the piston head is increasing).
  • strokes i.e., expansion, exhaust, intake, and compression
  • Both the intake and exhaust valves may be closed, and remain closed, during most of the expansion stroke wherein the piston is traveling away from the cylinder head (i.e., the volume between the cylinder head and the piston head is increasing).
  • fuel is burned during the expansion stroke and positive power is delivered by the engine.
  • the expansion stroke ends at the bottom dead center point, at which time the piston reverses direction and the exhaust valve may be opened for a main exhaust event.
  • a lobe on the camshaft may be synchronized to open the exhaust valve for the main exhaust event as the piston travels upward and forces combustion gases out of the cylinder.
  • another lobe on the camshaft may open the intake valve for the main intake event at which time the piston travels away from the cylinder head.
  • the intake valve closes and the intake stroke ends when the piston is near bottom dead center. Both the intake and exhaust valves are closed as the piston again travels upward for the compression stroke.
  • main intake and main exhaust valve events are required for positive power operation of an internal combustion engine. Additional auxiliary valve events, while not required, may be desirable. For example, it may be desirable to actuate the intake and/or exhaust valves during positive power or other engine operation modes for compression-release engine braking, bleeder engine braking, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), or brake gas recirculation (BGR).
  • EGR exhaust gas recirculation
  • BGR brake gas recirculation
  • auxiliary valve events such as a compression-release engine braking event 610, a bleeder engine braking event 620, exhaust gas recirculation event 630, and brake gas recirculation event 640, which may be carried out by an exhaust valve using various embodiments of the present invention to actuate exhaust valves for main and auxiliary valve events.
  • An example of a main intake event 650 which may be carried out by an intake valve is also shown.
  • engine braking systems may control the flow of exhaust gas to incorporate the principles of compression-release type braking, exhaust gas recirculation, exhaust pressure regulation, and/or bleeder type braking.
  • the exhaust valves may be selectively opened to convert, at least temporarily, a power producing internal combustion engine into a power absorbing air compressor. As a piston travels upward during its compression stroke, the gases that are trapped in the cylinder may be compressed. The compressed gases may oppose the upward motion of the piston.
  • At least one exhaust valve may be opened to release the compressed gases in the cylinder to the exhaust manifold, preventing the energy stored in the compressed gases from being returned to the engine on the subsequent expansion down-stroke. In doing so, the engine may develop retarding power to help slow the vehicle down.
  • An example of a prior art compression release engine brake is provided by the disclosure of the Cummins, U.S. Pat. No. 3,220,392 (November 1965), which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the exhaust valve(s) may be held slightly open during remaining three engine cycles (full-cycle bleeder brake) or during a portion of the remaining three engine cycles (partial-cycle bleeder brake).
  • the bleeding of cylinder gases in and out of the cylinder may act to retard the engine.
  • the initial opening of the braking valve(s) in a bleeder braking operation is in advance of the compression TDC (i.e., early valve actuation) and then lift is held constant for a period of time.
  • EGR exhaust gas recirculation
  • An EGR system can also be used to control the pressure and temperature in the exhaust manifold and engine cylinder during engine braking cycles.
  • External EGR systems recirculate exhaust gases back into the engine cylinder through an intake valve(s).
  • Internal EGR systems recirculate exhaust gases back into the engine cylinder through an exhaust valve(s).
  • Embodiments of the present invention primarily concern internal EGR systems.
  • Brake gas recirculation (BGR) systems may allow a portion of the exhaust gases to flow back into the engine cylinder during engine braking operation. Recirculation of exhaust gases back into the engine cylinder during the intake stroke, for example, may increase the mass of gases in the cylinder that are available for compression-release braking. As a result, BGR may increase the braking effect realized from the braking event.
  • a valve actuation system may be adapted to provide one or more of the auxiliary valve events described above, in addition to providing main valve events.
  • the motion imparted by a valve train element to produce a main valve event may be used to provide an auxiliary valve event.
  • a main intake event lobe on a camshaft may be used to additionally actuate one or more valves for an EGR event.
  • packaging, cost, reliability, and/or performance are design factors that may be considered.
