Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017134062A1] A discrete switchable variable valve lift (VVL) system constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a first switchable VVL rocker arm assembly, a second switchable VVL rocker arm assembly and an actuation assembly. The first switchable VVL rocker arm assembly selectively opens a first valve. The second switchable VVL rocker arm assembly selectively opens a second valve. The actuation assembly includes an actuation shaft rotatably driven by a first motor. The actuation shaft has a first lift cam and a second lift cam. The first and second lift cams selectively move the respective first and second latch pins between the latched and unlatched positions to provide discrete operating conditions. The VVL system further includes a sliding variable rocker ratio system (VRRS) contact arm associated with the first switchable VVL rocker arm assembly that provides a modulated valve lift.
