Abstract
The object of this invention is to simplify the timing system of all types of internal combustion engine. The system eliminates existing conventional timing trains. The hydraulic, mechanical or electrical/electronic direct timing systems that form the subject of the invention offer minimal resistance and minimal transmission. The piston strokes are given directly by the crankshaft by means of a system fixed thereto which via a mechanical or hydraulic or electrical or electronic system transmits the strokes to the cylinder valves. The system can be connected to all types of indirect transmission and has adjusting systems that allow it to be adapted to suit all types of internal combustion engine.
Claims10
A direct timing system that is applicable to any internal combustion engine in which the engine is timed with direct reference to movement of a crankshaft of the engine, wherein the timing system includes a mechanical system directly attached to the crankshaft to move integrally with the crankshaft, and wherein the mechanical system includes:
- a rotor, which rotates integrally with the crankshaft, wherein the rotor includes a pair of cams;
- a rotor casing that contains the rotor;
- information and force-transmission tubes, wherein the information and force-transmission tubes contain at least oil and a plurality of force-transmission members, wherein the force-transmitting members comprise balls or bullet-shaped members;
- rotor plungers;
- and
- valve plungers,
- wherein the cams push the rotor plungers, the rotor plungers transmit force to the force-transmitting members, and the force-transmitting members transmit force to the valve plungers, and wherein the valve plungers open corresponding engine valves with a timing that corresponds to motion of the crankshaft.
