nokvolger

of klepstoter, nokstoter

swing follower = cam follower

Internal combustion engine with variable swept volume and/or variable compression ratio with a swing follower between the crankshaft and the connecting rod and method for performing such variations

The engine has a cylinder (10) in which a piston (14) slides between a top dead center and a bottom dead center under an action of a connecting rod (20). A crankshaft (38) controls displacement of the piston under an effect of a cam follower (26) to vary a swept volume and a compression ratio of the engine. The cam follower is pivotingly mounted around an articulation axle (46) and displaced in translation along a direction. The cam follower is connected to the connecting rod and to the crankshaft respectively by two ends (24, 28) of the follower. An independent claim is also included for a method for varying a swept volume and a compression ratio.

cam follower:= klepstoter, nokstoter, nokvolger, sleephefboom

Doordat de nokkenas tegenwoordig meestal boven in de cilinderkop is geplaatst (bovenliggende nokkenas), kan de klep directer worden aangedreven. Dit kan indirect via een tuimelaar of meer direct, als de nokkenas direct boven de klep is geplaatst. Dit gebeurt altijd via een nokvolger om de horizontale component van de draaiende nokbeweging op te nemen. Hoe directer de klep kan worden aangedreven, hoe meer vermogen er kan worden behaald.

Als de nokkenas dicht bij de krukas is geplaatst, moet de beweging via nokvolgers en een stoterstang worden overgebracht op de kleppen (onder andere Harley-Davidson en Moto Guzzi).

'swing' is used in view of:

- cam follower to vary a swept volume and a compression ratio of the engine
- variable swept volume and/or variable compression ratio with a swing follower

this follower 'varies/swings' swept volume and/or compression ratio

Some references

A cam follower is an assembly connected to the pushrod in the cylinder that converts the rotary motion of the cam into linear motion and can be either a 'swinging-arm-follower' or a 'translating-arm-follower' type. It comprises a pin, roller and bushing.

See illustration on p 3-49:

'Swinging arm follower' refers to the shape of the cam follower:

Each cam follower operates in a bore in the cylinder head to keep the follower rollers in line with the cam:

'Cam follower' is a generic term for the various elements that are moved directly by the cam lobe. They follow the cam lift and transmit the motion to the downstream valve components. Cam followers include tappets, buckets, and levers in a wide range of designs.

Also:
Tappet, lifter and follower may all mean the same thing depending on which OEM is using the term. These terms describe components that are usually positioned to directly ride, or at least be actuated by a cam profile.

agree Barend van Zadelhoff : Interesting. So 'swing' may also refer to the shape of the cam follower.
