A variable compression ratio mechanism for continuously varying the compression ratio of an internal combustion engine while minimizing the power requirement and providing internal clamping to isolate the setting mechanism from the reaction to combustion loads. The mechanism includes a setting cam (1501) actuated via an innovative torque storage system acting on an auxiliary piston (203) in the combustion chamber crown. The mechanism provides very fast and precise transient response without the use of hydraulic control. The invention desirably simplifies the control system and provides an elegant and compact solution for this purpose. |
