20130206089 | VARIABLE CAM PHASER FOR AUTOMOBILE ENGINE AND CONTROLLER THEREFOR - This invention provides an improved variable cam phaser for an automobile engine equipped with a controller capable of enabling execution of a given phase angle varying command in a shortened response time. The variable cam phaser has two control rotors which are arranged coaxial with a camshaft and rotatable relative to each other under the influence of two electromagnetic actuators and driven by the crankshaft of the engine. The variable cam phaser also has a relative phase angle varying mechanism for varying the relative phase angle of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft. When the two electromagnetic actuators are simultaneously energized, the two control rotors are held mutually unrotatable. However, when the braking torque of one actuator is reduced, the control rotor associated with that actuator is rotated relative to the other control rotor to immediately start the execution of the command. | 08-15-2013 |
20140031165 | PLANETARY GEAR REDUCTION MECHANISM - A compact planetary gear reduction mechanism having a universal gear reduction ratio is provided, which comprises: an input shaft rotatable about a first rotational axis; at least one planetary gear having a first and a second gear of the same shape integrated together rotatably about a third rotational axis (O3) but in out of phase with each other; an eccentric rotary plate for transmitting the rotational motion of the input shaft to a shaft mechanism which in turn transmits the eccentric rotation of the eccentric rotary plate to the planetary gear; an external fixed sun gear meshed with the first gear of the planetary gear; and an external driven sun gear to be connected to the output shaft of the gear reducer, having a different number of gear teeth than the fixed situ gear and meshed with the second gear of the planetary gear. | 01-30-2014 |
20140196677 | PHASE VARYING APPARATUS FOR AUTOMOBILE ENGINE - A phase varying apparatus capable of smoothly varying the phase angle of a camshaft relative to a drive rotor by comprising: a drive rotor supported by a camshaft and driven by a crankshaft; a first control rotor integral with the camshaft; a first torquing mechanism for providing the first drive rotor with a torque in one direction, and a reverse rotation mechanism for proving the first control rotor with a torque in the opposite direction, wherein the reverse rotation mechanism comprises a first radius-decreasing guide groove formed in the control rotor, a crank member adapted to rotate about a position offset from the rotational axis of the drive rotor, and a first pin mechanism mounted on the crank member and movable in the radius-decreasing guide groove, and a second operative mechanism for rotating the first control rotor in the opposite rotational direction relative to the drive rotor. | 07-17-2014 |

20150075470 | MECHANICAL LASH ADJUSTER - The mechanical lash adjuster is arranged between a cam and one end of the stem of a valve urged by a valve spring. The lash adjuster comprises an unrotatable housing having a thread, a plunger subjected to the force of the cam and formed with a thread in engagement with the thread of the housing, and a plunger spring urging the plunger against the action of the valve spring. The lead and flank angles of the engaging threads are set such that the engagement threads can slidably rotate under a given shaft load applied to the plunger unless the frictional torque TB, generated by the friction between the slidable frictional surface F | 03-19-2015 |
