A variable valve lift apparatus includes an outer body for selectively performing a first lever motion depending on a rotation of a high cam, the outer body further forming an inside space, an inner body disposed in the inside space of the outer body so as to selectively perform a second lever motion depending on a rotation of the high cam by being selectively locked to the outer body, the selective performing of the second lever motion depending on a rotation of a low cam being released from the outer body, and the inner body being configured so that a valve is connected with one end of the inner body, a connecting shaft rotatably connecting the outer body with the inner body, and a lost motion spring wound around the connecting shaft so as to return the outer body after being relatively rotated with respect to the inner body when the outer body is released from the inner body, wherein a roller rolling-contacting with the low cam is disposed at the inner body, and the connecting shaft is disposed between a pivot axis for a lever motion of the inner body and the roller.

Variable valve lift apparatus

A variable valve lift system may include a roller finger follower having an end connected with a valve and a roller mounted thereto. A hydraulic lash adjuster supports another end of the roller finger follower and has operating modes which are changed to a high lift mode or a low lift mode according to supplied hydraulic pressure to change a height of the hydraulic lash adjuster. A hydraulic pressure supplying portion supplies the hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic lash adjuster. A cam is mounted to a camshaft and contacts the roller of the roller finger follower. The cam has a first ramp and a second ramp formed thereon.

An intake air control apparatus of an engine includes a housing having an intake air inflow passage for receiving external air, an exhaust gas inflow passage for receiving recirculated exhaust gas, and an intake air supply passage for supplying the external air from the intake air inflow passage or the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas inflow passage to the engine. A motor gear rotates together with an output shaft of the motor. A connection gear is engaged and rotates together with the motor gear. A recirculation gear is engaged and rotates together with the connection gear. A recirculation valve opens and closes the exhaust gas inflow passage since the recirculation valve rotates together with the recirculation gear. An intake air gear is engaged and rotates together with the connection gear. An intake air throttle valve opens and closes the intake air inflow passage.

Intake air control apparatus of engine

An intake air control apparatus of an engine includes an Intake manifold configured to guide intake air into a plurality of engine cylinders. A plurality of first intake air passages communicate with the cylinders. A plurality of second intake air passages are disposed in parallel with the first intake air passages and communicate with the cylinders. An Intake throttle shaft passes through the first intake air passages. An intake air throttle valve is disposed inside the first intake air passages, rotates with the Intake throttle shaft, and opens/closes the first intake air passage. A swirl throttle shaft passes though the second intake air passages. A swirl throttle valve is disposed inside the second intake air passages, rotates together with the swirl throttle shaft, and opens/closes the second intake air passages. An actuator rotates selectively the Intake throttle shaft and the swirl throttle shaft. A controller controls the actuator.

A method for fuel injection of an engine system may include detecting driving information, including a combustion pressure in a combustion chamber, a heat generation amount in the combustion chamber, a crank angle, and a pressure/temperature/air amount of an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold, setting a fuel amount and injection timing with respect to a pilot injection as map data from an internal temperature, determining whether a maximum combustion pressure change rate is greater than a predetermined pressure change rate, determining generation timing of the maximum combustion pressure change rate, when the maximum combustion pressure change rate is greater than the predetermined pressure change rate, and decreasing a fuel amount of the pilot injection when the maximum combustion pressure change rate is generated during the pilot injection.

Method and apparatus for fuel injection of engine system

An apparatus for assembling an overhead camshaft that comprises a hollow outer shaft having at least one slot formed, an inner shaft having at least one pin hole formed, at least one first cam lobe, and at least one second cam lobe. The apparatus comprises a first fixture having two journals, on which the outer shaft is disposed, formed at opposite ends thereof. A second fixture has a plurality of journals on which at least two of the at least one first cam lobe and the at least one second cam lobe are disposed. A third fixture restricts upward and downward and rotational movements of at least one of the outer shaft, the at least one first cam lobe, and the at least one second cam lobe.

A valve train layout structure may comprise a non-control camshaft connected to a chain sprocket rotating in line with engine timing and adapted not to vary opening/closing timing of a valve, a control camshaft including an outer shaft, a first cam fixed to an outer shaft, an inner shaft rotatably inserted in an outer shaft, and a second cam fixed to an inner shaft and adapted to vary opening/closing timing of at least one of a valve activated by a first cam and a valve activated by a second cam by varying a phase between a first cam and a second cam, and a cam phaser including a rotor and a stator rotatable relatively to each other. One of a rotor and a stator may be operatively connected to the outer shaft and the other of a rotor and a stator is operatively connected to the inner shaft such that the cam phaser can vary the phase between the first cam and the second cam.

An engine system having a turbocharger, in which an intake manifold is integrally formed, may include an intercooler that cools intake air supplied from the turbocharger, an EGR cooler that cools EGR gas supplied from an exhaust manifold, the intake manifold in which the intake air and the EGR gas supplied from the intercooler and the EGR cooler are mixed and that supplies a combustion chamber with the mixed gas, and a distribution unit that is mounted in the intake manifold and includes distribution pipes. One or each of the distribution pipes may receive the EGR gas from a connection hole through which the EGR gas is supplied and exhaust the EGR gas through an outlet towards an intake port.

Engine system having turbo charger

A variable valve lift (VVL) system in an engine includes an oil control valve and a lock pin configured to be hydraulically actuated against an elastic force of a return spring under a control of the OCV. An orifice through which oil passes is formed to supply hydraulic pressure to the OCV and the lock pin. An oil pressure sensor measures the hydraulic pressure to be supplied to the OCV and the lock pin. A controller is configured to receive a signal from the oil pressure sensor and to control the OCV according to the received signal.
