发明名称 Engine braking utilizing unit valve actuation
摘要 Braking systems for use with internal combustion engine have in the past used a variety of mechanical mechanisms to activate the braking system in addition to the conventional cam, lifters, pushrods and rocker arms. Many of these systems fail to provide the option of controllably and modulatively varying the sequence and amount of the opening and closing of an intake or exhaust valve relative to a piston position in a cylinder bore. The present invention provides an electronic control system outputting an discrete control signal, an opening device for unit actuation of each of the pair of valves independently. The electronic control system is programmable to respond in a first predetermined logic pattern for conventional operation of the engine at which time each of the pair of valves are in the closed position during the compression stroke. The electronic control system is programmable to a second predetermined logic pattern to vary the operation of the valves associated with the respective bore in the generally open position during the compression stroke when the piston in near the top dead center position. The preestablished logic pattern controllably, sequentially and modulateably actuate the device for unit actuation, moving each of the valves independently between the open and closed position to effectively resist the movement of a piston from a bottom dead center position to a top dead center position.
