Kinematics analysis and design method of a new mechanical CVVL system with self-regulation of the valve timing

In the present study, the position of the camshaft pivot center is controlled to achieve continuous variable valve events. An innovative mechanical continuous variable valve lift (CVVL) system with self-regulation of the valve timing is proposed in this regard. Based on the system, an effective design method for the profiles of intermediate cam and cam is emphatically presented. After the profiles are determined, the kinematic behavior is...
