| 20080314344 | CONTINUOUS VARIABLE VALVE LIFT APPARATUS - A continuous variable valve lift apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a camshaft, an input cam disposed to the camshaft, a variable lever that is rotably connected to the camshaft and includes a first arm including a first connecting shaft and a second arm including a second connecting shaft, a first link rotating around the first connecting shaft corresponding to a rotation of the input cam, an output cam rotating around the camshaft, a valve opening/closing portion that is opened and closed corresponding to a rotation of the output cam, and a connecting portion that is disposed for the output cam to rotate corresponding to a rotation of the first link. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090031971 | CONTINUOUS VARIABLE VALVE LIFT APPARATUS - A continuous variable valve lift apparatus includes an input cam disposed on an input shaft, a valve opening/closing portion, and a rocker arm rotating shaft. A rocker arm rotates around the rocker arm rotating shaft corresponding to a rotation of the input cam. An output cam is disposed at an end of the rocker arm, and opens and closes the valve opening/closing portion. A control portion controls a position of the rocker arm rotating shaft. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090151677 | VARIABLE VALVE LIFT APPARATUS - A variable valve apparatus includes a high lift cam and a low lift cam in parallel with the high lift cam. A tappet body includes a high lift tappet body that constantly contacts the high lift cam, and a low lift tappet body that is disposed in the high lift tappet body and selectively contacts the low lift cam. An inner column is connected with a valve and reciprocally disposed within the low lift tappet body. A supporting member is disposed below the tappet body. A lost motion elastic member is disposed between the supporting member and the tappet body for supplying restoring force to the tappet body. A first connector selectively connects the high lift tappet body and the low lift tappet body. A second connector selectively connects the low lift tappet body and the inner column. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090151694 | VARIABLE VALVE LIFT APPARATUS OF ENGINE FOR VEHICLES - A variable lift apparatus of an engine for a vehicle may include a camshaft in which a cam is formed, a swing arm one side of which is supported by a supporting portion and another side of which operates a valve, an output arm including a roller press portion extended in one direction and a rotating arm extended in another direction, a first roller disposed in the connecting portion in which the rotating arm and the roller press portion are connected and that contacts the cam, a second roller disposed in the swing arm and contacting a roller contacting surface, a variable link connected with a lower end side of the rotating arm protruding in a lower side of the output arm by a hinge shaft and moves the hinge shaft according to a guide slot formed in a guide and a variable rotation shaft for operating the variable link. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090293825 | VARIABLE VALVE LIFT APPARATUS - A variable valve lift apparatus may include a camshaft having an input cam, a rocker arm shaft disposed in parallel with the camshaft with a distance therebetween, a shaft carrier with a camshaft and a rocker arm shaft, a rocker arm that is mounted on the rocker arm shaft with a first roller contacting the input cam, a first link connected to the rocker arm, an amplification lever with a middle portion thereof connected to the first link and the shaft carrier, a second link connected to the amplification lever, an output cam mounted on the camshaft, one side of the output cam connected to the second link, and a profile portion formed at an exterior circumference thereof, a variable driveshaft rotating the shaft carrier by a predetermined angle, and a valve moved by the profile portion with rotation of the output cam. | 12-03-2009 |
