Embodiment Construction

[0028] Now refer to image 3 , which shows a valve actuation system 300 according to the invention. As shown, system 300 includes valve actuation motion source 110 described above operatively connected to motion receiving end 312 of rocker arm 310 . The rocker arm 310 also includes a motion transfer end 314 . A hydraulic fluid supply 360 is in fluid communication with the rocker arm 310 . System 300 also includes a valve bridge 320 operably connected to two or more engine valves 140 . The valve bridge 320 may include a lost motion component 330 as is known in the art of bridge braking systems.

[0029] Although image 3 Not shown in , but rocker arm 310 is typically supported by a rocker shaft, and rocker arm 310 reciprocates about the rocker shaft. Also, the rocker shaft may contain elements of the hydraulic fluid supply 360 in the form of hydraulic fluid passages formed along the length of the rocker shaft, as is known in the art. The motion receiving end 312 may comprise ...

Abstract

Systems for actuating at least two engine valves comprise a valve bridge operatively connected to the at least two engine valves and having a hydraulically-actuated lost motion component. The lost motion component comprises a lost motion check valve disposed therein. A rocker arm has a motion receiving end configured to receive valve actuation motions from a valve actuation motion source and a motion imparting end for conveying the valve actuation motions and hydraulic fluid to the lost motion component. The rocker arm is in fluid communication with a hydraulic fluid supply. The systems also comprise an accumulator in fluid communication with the hydraulic fluid supply and disposed upstream of the lost motion check valve. In all embodiments, a fluid supply check valve may be disposed upstream of the accumulator and configured to prevent flow of hydraulic fluid from the accumulator back to the hydraulic fluid supply.
