Abstract:
A diesel engine system, comprises a selectively actuated cylinder deactivation mechanism configured to lift and lower a valve and to deactivate actuation of the valve. A sleeve comprises a recesses. A controllable latch is movable between a latched condition to catch the latch in the recesses and an unlatched condition configured to collapse the latch from the recesses. A pushrod is coupled to the sleeve, the pushrod is configured to lift and lower the valve when the latch is in the latched condition. The pushrod is further configured to reciprocate inside the sleeve to deactivate actuation of the valve when the latch is in the unlatched condition.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of controlling a cylinder deactivation mechanism, comprising:\n executing a valve lift event configured to lift a valve via a pushrod and rocker arm combination, wherein the pushrod is coupled via a sleeve with a controllable latch in a latched condition, wherein the controllable latch is configured with edges that are clamped in recesses of the sleeve during the valve lift event, a clamp force supplied in part by pressure from the pushrod, sending a deactivation signal to select the unlatched condition to collapse the latch from the recesses while the controllable latch is configured with edges that are clamped in recesses of the sleeve; and deactivating actuation of the valve by collapsing the latch from the recess once the valve lift event is complete and the clamp force supplied in part by pressure from the pushrod diminishes.
