Title: Crank train for realizing miller cycle and control method
Inventor: WEI TIAN
IPC: F02B75/04
Filed: 2019-01-02
Abstract: A crank train for realizing a Miller cycle and a control method. A driving oil passage (6) and a locking oil passage (7) are provided in a crankshaft (2). An eccentric connecting rod bushing (4) is arranged on a connecting rod journal (14) of the crankshaft (2). A driving gear (b3) meshing with an outer-meshing gear ring (15) of the eccentric connecting rod bushing via an idle gear (12) is mounted inside a crankshaft counter weight (9). A planetary gear (c3) is mounted in a hollow driving gear shaft (b2). The hollow driving gear shaft (b2) is provided with a locking pin (10) for locking the same to the crankshaft counter weight (9) or to a planetary gear shaft (c4). The hollow driving gear shaft (b2) and the planetary gear shaft (c4) are locked when hydraulic oil is fed into the driving oil passage (6), such that the planetary gear shaft (c4) transmits motion to the driving gear (b3), then the idle gear (12) transmits the motion to the outer-meshing gear ring (15) of an eccentric connecting rod bushing, and the eccentric connecting rod bushing (4) rotates around the connecting rod journal (14) of the crankshaft, thereby changing the compression ratio of an engine. Motion of the crank train is synchronized with rotation of the engine, thereby achieving compression ratio adjustment within one operation stroke of the engine, and realizing the Miller cycle. The invention has a large control margin and flexible control.

Abstract: A handheld optical measurement apparatus comprises a housing and a display device 116. The housing has an optical measurement system 200 with a longitudinal measurement axis coaxial with an optical reception path 202. An alignment 10 system uses a light source 110 such as an array of LEDs of a predetermined shape which illuminates a target such as a cornea. The light source 110 is off-axis with respect to the measurement axis. An optical sensor 112 on the housing captures the light reflected 224 by the target cornea; the optical sensor 112 is off-axis relative to the measurement axis. A processor 208, 210, 216 receives a signal from the optical sensor 112 and communicates with the display 116 to present the captured image. The display shows the captured image 224 relative to an alignment reference image 220. The alignment reference image 220 is fixed in position and size as a reference to facilitate manual alignment of the optical measurement system with the reflective target. The processor 216 also assesses alignment of the optical measurement system 200 with respect to fidelity of shape and centrality of the reflected light in the image captured by the optical sensor device 112.
