Valve train assembly

1. A valve train assembly comprising:

a rocker arm comprising:

a first body supporting a first axle on which is mounted a first roller configured to engage a first rotatable cam surface, wherein at least part of the rocker arm can be pivoted by at least the first rotatable cam surface to move a valve to cause a first valve event;

a second body supporting a second axle on which is mounted a further roller configured to engage a further rotatable cam surface, wherein at least part of the rocker arm can be pivoted by the further rotatable cam surface to move the valve to cause a second valve event, wherein one of the first and second bodies is pivotally mounted with respect to the other of the first and second bodies;

wherein the rocker arm is configurable in a first mode of operation in which one of the first and second valve events occurs and a second mode of operation in which both the first and second valve events occur or the other of the first and second valve events occurs;

wherein the rocker arm further comprises a latch configured to latch and unlatch the first and second bodies together and wherein which of the first and second modes the rocker arm is configured in depends upon whether the first and second bodies are latched or are unlatched;

wherein the latch comprises a latch member moveable between a latched position whereby the latch member latches the first and second bodies together and an unlatched position in which the first and second bodies are unlatched; and

wherein the valve train assembly further comprises a latching actuator configured to move the latch member between the latched position and the unlatched position, wherein the latching actuator comprises a rotatable shaft attached to a biasing member, wherein rotating the rotatable shaft from a first position to a second position causes the biasing member to move the latch member between the latched position and the unlatched position.

2. The valve train assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the latch member is a latch pin comprising a latch surface configured to engage one or other of the first and second bodies to prevent relative pivotal movement of the first and second bodies.

3. The valve train assembly according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first body and second bodies defines a guide hole for guiding the latch pin when the latch pin moves between the latched and unlatched positions.

4. The valve train assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the rotatable shaft functions as an oil spray bar.

5. The valve train assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a second roller is mounted on the first axle for engaging a second rotatable cam surface, wherein at least part of the rocker arm can be pivoted by the first rotatable cam surface acting on the first roller and the second rotatable cam surface acting on the second roller to move the valve to cause the first valve event.

6. The valve train assembly according to claim 5 , wherein one of the first and second axles defines an aperture and the other of the first and second axles extends through the aperture.

7. The valve train assembly according to claim 1 , wherein when the first and second bodies are unlatched the rocker arm is in the first mode of operation and when the further roller engages a lobe of the further rotatable cam surface, the second body pivots with respect to the first body so that the first body is prevented from causing the second valve event.

8. The valve train assembly according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first and second bodies is mounted within the other of the first and second bodies.

9. The valve train assembly according claim 1 , wherein one or both of the first and second bodies are comprised of a stamped metal sheet.

10. The valve train assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a cam shaft having the first cam surface and the further cam surface.

11. The valve train assembly according to claim 1 , wherein one or both of a) one of the first and second valve events is of a longer duration than the other of the valve events, and b) one of the first and second valve events is of a higher lift than the other of the valve events.

12. The valve train assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the valve is an exhaust valve or an intake valve for an engine cylinder and wherein the first valve event is a main lift of the valve and the second valve event is a secondary lift of the valve arranged to enable exhaust gas recirculation.
