  • Patent number: 11015491
    Abstract: A lock pin for a VCT device that has a locked position, locking a housing assembly relative to a rotor assembly of the variable cam timing device, and an unlocked position. The lock pin has a body comprising a first diameter with a first area, a second diameter with a second area, and a chamber formed between the first area of the first diameter and the second area of the second diameter for receiving fluid, the first area being greater than the second area. When fluid is applied to the chamber through the variable cam timing phaser, a difference between first area and the second area defining the chamber creates a force imbalance, such that the oil pressure applied to the chamber of the body assists in maintaining the Sock pin in the locked position.

  • Patent number: 9151365
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a timing chain system including a hydraulic pressure timing chain tensioner autonomously controlling a hydraulic pressure for maintaining tension of a timing chain to effectively operate. The system may include: a crankshaft sprocket; a camshaft sprocket controlling exhaust or intake timing of the engine; a timing chain operably connecting the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets; a chain guide for the timing chain; a chain tensioner pushing the chain guide inward; and an oil supply unit for the chain tensioner. The chain tensioner may include a housing, an operating unit case fixed to the housing, a reciprocating plunger inserted into the operating unit case, a high pressure chamber, a low pressure chamber, a supply hydraulic path supplying oil from the oil supply unit to the low pressure chamber, and a regulator controlling hydraulic pressure of the low pressure chamber.
