Patent ID: 11982211

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and control systems for a switching rocker arm assembly are disclosed. A switching rocker arm (10) engages a valve (29), the switching rocker arm (10) is movable by contact with a cam (60) having a lift portion (59) and a base circle (58). The switching rocker arm (10) comprises an inner arm (20), an outer arm (12) pivotably secured to the inner arm (20) and having a latch bore, and a latch pin (28) selectively movable between a first position where the latch pin (28) does not contact the inner arm (20), and a second position wherein the latch pin (28) contacts the inner arm (20). A solenoid assembly (500) is energized while the rocker arm is in contact with the lift portion (59) of the cam. The solenoid assembly is direct-acting and overhead and is calibratable with respect to the rocker arm.
