Appl. No.:
8/543744
Inventors:
William F. Stockhausen - Northville MI
Julian A. LoRusso - Grosse Ile MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02B 7700
US Classification:
123198F
Abstract:
A four-stroke cycle, multi-cylinder reciprocating internal combustion engine has a camshaft phaser or phasers for adjusting the timing of the intake and exhaust camshafts with respect to the rotational position of the crankshaft so that some of the cylinders of the engine may be deactivated such that the intake and exhaust valves for each deactivated cylinder open and close at points which are approximately symmetrical about a rotational position of the crankshaft at which the direction of motion of the pistons change.

Hydraulic Valve Control System For Internal Combustion Engines

View page
US Patent:
51273756, Jul 7, 1992
Filed:
Apr 4, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/680221
Inventors:
Timothy J. Bowman - Bexley, GB3
Julian A. LoRusso - Grosse Ile MI
Warren F. Kaufman - Santa Ana CA
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F01L 902
F01L 134
US Classification:
123 9012
Abstract:
A modular hydraulic valve actuating assembly for use in association with a single combustion chamber in a multicylinder internal combustion engine cylinder head. The assembly includes a housing having a mounted surface to attach to the cylinder head immediately above a poppet valve. The housing includes a first cavity spaced from and oriented non-parallel to the poppet valve, a second cavity coaxially aligned with the poppet valve, and a fluid passageway extending between and hydraulically coupled to the first and second cavities. A master piston within the housing co-operates with a camshaft to define a first enclosed fluid chamber which varies in displacement as the master piston is reciprocally oscillated by the camshaft. A slave piston within the housing co-operates with the poppet valve to define a second enclosed fluid chamber hydraulically connected to the first and varying in displacement as the slave piston oscillates. A valve means within the housing regulates the flow of fluid from the pressurized master cylinder through an accumulator fluid port thereby automatically varying any one or more of valve lift, valve timing or duration of valve opening in response to an input signal at any point during engine operation.

Engine Valve Control During Transmission Shifts

View page
US Patent:
50563785, Oct 15, 1991
Filed:
Sep 28, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/413642
Inventors:
Michael G. Aimone - Westland MI
Julian A. LoRusso - Woodhaven MI
William E. Tobler - Willis MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B60K 4106
US Classification:
74858
Abstract:
An engine valve control system for controlling engine valve lift during an automatic transmission shift. A plurality of engine valve actuation systems are each coupled to an individual engine valve for electronically controlling valve lift. Each valve actuation system includes a hydraulically operated piston coupled to each of the engine valves, and an electronically actuated supply valve responsive to a supply signal and coupled between the hydraulically operated piston and a source of hydraulic fluid, and an electronically actuated drain valve responsive to a drain signal and coupled between the piston and source of hydraulic fluid. A controller responsive to a shift command from a transmission controller, provides the supply and drain signals in appropriate timing and phase relationship to reduce valve lift during the automatic transmission shift. In another aspect of the invention, the controller also reduces the hydraulic coupling force applied to the clutch elements during an automatic transmission shift.

Optimal Swirl Generation By Valve Control

View page
US Patent:
49745662, Dec 4, 1990
Filed:
Sep 28, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/413643
Inventors:
Julian A. LoRusso - Woodhaven MI
George C. Davis - Ann Arbor MI
Charles E. Newman - Flat Rock MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02B 3100
US Classification:
123308
Abstract:
An intake valve lift control system for optimizing both rotational movement and inducted flow of a mixture inducted into the chambers of an internal combustion engine. The combustion chamber includes a mask partially surrounding the intake valve seat thereby imparting rotational movement to the inducted mixture. During light load engine operating conditions, maximum valve lift displacement is limited to the height of the mask such that rotational movement of the inducted mixture is maximized during the entire intake stroke of the intake valve. During heavy load engine operating conditions in which optimal flow is desire, maximum valve lift displacement is extended beyond the mask such that flow, rather than rotational movement, is optimized. Commencement of valve lift is also delayed during normal engine operations such that rotational movement of the inducted mixture is further optimized.

F02B 7700
US Classification:
123198F
Abstract:
A system for controlling the flow of air entering the intake manifold of a multicylinder variable displacement internal combustion engine installed in a vehicle having a driver-operable accelerator control includes an accelerator control position sensor for determining the operating position of the accelerator control and for generating an accelerator control position signal indicating such position, as well as an engine speed sensor for determining the speed of the engine and for generating an engine speed signal indicating such speed. The present system further includes an engine cylinder operator for deactivating and reactivating at least some of the cylinders and an electronically controlled throttle valve positioned in the intake manifold of the engine so as to control the amount of air entering the engine's cylinders. A processor connected with the cylinder operator and with the throttle valve receives the accelerator control position signal and the engine speed signal and selects an operating position for the throttle valve, based on the values of the accelerator control position signal and the engine speed signal, as well as upon the effective displacement of the engine.
