By integrating the hydraulic control unit with the valve bridge, the stroke of the valve bridge piston 5 is made variable, achieving in-cylinder braking. Meanwhile, the change of the valve stroke is actively controlled by the hydraulic control unit, so that the working hardness of the valve caused by the change of the external environment is avoided, and the working stability is improved.
