  • Patent number: 8225757
    Abstract: A continuously variable valve lift apparatus includes an input cam disposed to a camshaft and rotating, a follower supporting portion rotatably disposed to the camshaft for changing a relative angle of the follower with respect to the camshaft, a follower that includes a center shaft, is connected with the follower supporting portion via the center shaft, and pivots around the center shaft by receiving rotation movement of the input cam, a straight line guide, an output cam that contacts the follower and reciprocates along the straight line guide, and a valve opening unit that is opened by pushing of the output cam.

  • Patent number: 7971562
    Abstract: A continuous variable valve lift device includes a valve, which opens/closes a channel by means of reciprocation, a control shaft, which is mounted so as to be able to move toward or away from a reciprocation central axis of the valve, a pivotable shoe, which is pivotably coupled to the control shaft, includes a cam insertion part in a recess or through-hole shape and a slide face slidably contacting an end of the valve, and reciprocates the valve when pivoted, and a drive cam, which comes into contact with an inner wall of the cam insertion part, and pivots the pivotable shoe. Thereby, the continuous variable valve lift device can freely adjust a lift amount and a lift time of the valve without changing positions of the drive cam and camshaft, and thus be easily applied to an existing engine.
