Engine valve control actuator with knee action linkage

摘要

A latchable rocker arm is actuated with a solenoid device having a stator and an armature where the armature is connected to an output link which is connected to a first connecting link and a second connecting link which are disposed to form a "knee" linkage where in the fully actuated state the first connecting link and the second connecting link are in substantial axial alignment. A pivoted output link is connected to the first connecting link for contacting and actuating the latchable rocker arm.
