Embodiment
For the purpose, technological scheme and the advantage that make the embodiment of the invention is clearer, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing specific embodiment is described in detail.
Shown in Fig. 1-6, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of continuous variable valve lift system, comprising:
The first Rocker arm 5, its first end bottom side contact with valve 6 and can promote valve 6, the second bottom sides and supported by hydraulic tappet 3, and namely the first Rocker arm 5 can rotate around hydraulic tappet 3.
Driving cam 4 is fixed on the camshaft 8.
The second rocking arm 1, described driving cam 4 contacts and promotes the first end of described the second rocking arm 1, and the second end in contact of described the second rocking arm 1 also promotes described the first Rocker arm 5, and namely the Driving force of valve 6 is provided by the second rocking arm 1.
Described the second rocking arm 1 is arranged on the eccentric wheel 2, take the center of eccentric wheel 2 as rotating center.
During described eccentric wheel 2 rotation, the central position of described eccentric wheel 2 will change, so that the rotating center position of the second rocking arm 1 changes thereupon, power arm L1 and the resistance arm L2 of the second rocking arm 1 as shown in Figures 4 and 5 also will correspondingly change, the lift of final change and the contacted valve 6 of the first Rocker arm 5, be valve lift amount, structural principle is simple, controls convenient and swift.
In one embodiment of the present of invention, can be with intended distance at location arrangements live axle 7 parallel with described camshaft 8, described eccentric wheel 2 is fixed on the described live axle 7.Shown in a part of Fig. 4, by the variation of solid line among the figure to dotted line in eccentric wheel 2 rotation processes, the variation track at the center of eccentric wheel 2 is circular arc, and its rotational angle range is 0 °-90 °, and valve lift amount also realizes the variation by min-max as shown in Figure 3 simultaneously.
Such as the solid line among Fig. 3 part and shown in Figure 5, when the described live axle 7 axle center vertical lower of being centered close to of described eccentric wheel 2, namely during the A point position in the b of Fig. 4 part, be defined as original state.At this moment, described power arm L1 is maximum, resistance arm L2 is minimum, and valve lift amount is minimum.
When the center of described eccentric wheel 2 is rotated counterclockwise rising by original state gradually to driving cam 4 place directions, the rotating center of described the second rocking arm 1 will rotate thereupon and raise along the track of circular arc, motion track is shown in the direction of arrow in the b part of Fig. 4, so that no matter the second rocking arm 1 is that level and vertical direction all have movement.Because driving cam 4 is fixed, and the first Rocker arm 5 can rotate around hydraulic tappet 3, and by Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 and mechanics general knowledge as can be known, above-mentioned movement will cause the second rocking arm 1 and the angle of horizontal plane to change, power arm L1 direction will change this moment, and power arm L1 will diminish gradually; In addition, the second end of the second rocking arm 1 will promote the first Rocker arm 5 and clockwise rotate several angle, the direction of resistance arm L2 will change this moment, it is large that resistance arm L2 will become gradually, correspondingly the amounts of rotation of the first Rocker arm 5 also becomes greatly, finally also becomes gradually large so that be arranged on the lift amount of the valve 6 of the first Rocker arm 5 first end bottom.Such as the dotted portion among Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 6, when the angle of swing of described eccentric wheel 2 was 90 °, the rotating center of described the second rocking arm 1 rose to the peak of its working state, it is the B point position in the b part of Fig. 4, at this moment, described power arm is minimum, resistance arm is maximum, and valve lift is maximum.Accordingly, if will make valve lift amount little by changing to greatly, described eccentric wheel 2 is turned clockwise get final product, principle is identical, and detailed process is opposite with said process, repeats no more herein.
Angle of eccentric wheel 2 every rotations among the present invention all will change the position of the second rocking arm 1 rotating center, thereby change valve lift amount, and namely native system belongs to stepless regulated, so that engine performance obtains higher lifting.In addition, the rotational angle range of eccentric wheel 2 is 0 °-90 °, can realize that just valve lift amount is by being minimal to maximum variation, so that native system regulation and control efficient is higher; And corresponding eccentric wheel 2 rotates operating element and also can be simplified, and is easy to make and install, and has also promoted simultaneously the reliability of system.
In one embodiment of the present of invention, between first end and the second end, can be provided with roller bearing 9 on described the first Rocker arm 5, be used for and 1 sliding contact of described the second rocking arm so that and the friction between the second rocking arm less, control efficient higher.
The first end of the second end of described the second rocking arm 1 and described roller bearing 9 contacting points and described the second rocking arm 1 and described driving cam 4 contacting points all are the arc that concaves, and play and offset or compensate because the effect of the displacement increase and decrease that the rotation of the second rocking arm brings.
In one embodiment of the present of invention, the rotating center of described the second rocking arm 1 is power arm L1 to the perpendicular distance of its driving force line of action, and described driving force is provided by driving cam 4.
The rotating center of described the second rocking arm 1 is resistance arm L2 to the perpendicular distance of its drag effect line, and described resistance promotes the first Rocker arm 5 by 1 rotation of the second rocking arm and produces.
The invention enables valve lift amount as follows to maximum whole working procedure by minimum:
At first, during normal working of engine, live axle 8 drives driving cam 4 rotations, driving cam 4 drives the first end of the second rocking arm 1, the second rocking arm 1 is swung around eccentric wheel 2, the second end of the second rocking arm 1 drives the first Rocker arm 5 again and swings around hydraulic tappet 3, thereby controls the lifting of valve 6 of the first end bottom of the first Rocker arm 5.
When stepless regulated, corresponding drive unit drives eccentric wheel 2 to be begun to rotate counterclockwise by original state, angle of every rotation, and the central position of eccentric wheel 2 all will raise along the track of circular arc.At this moment, the second rocking arm 1 take eccentric wheel 2 centers as rotating center also increases, and the second rocking arm 1 all is subjected to displacement in level and vertical direction, and fixing driving cam 4 is so that the angle change of the second rocking arm 1 and horizontal plane, therefore power arm L1 direction changes, and power arm L1 reduces gradually.Correspondingly, in the rotating center elevation process of the second rocking arm 1, the second end of the second rocking arm 1 will promote the first Rocker arm 5 and clockwise rotate several angle, and the direction of resistance arm L2 will change this moment, resistance arm L2 will become greatly gradually, so that the rotation quantitative change of the first Rocker arm 5 is large.Finally also become gradually large so that be arranged on the lift amount of the valve 6 of the first Rocker arm 5 first end bottom, thereby reach the purpose of stepless regulated valve lift amount, improve the motor car engine performance.At last, if valve lift amount will then get final product above-mentioned working procedure conversely by being up to minimum, repeat no more herein.
The above only is preferred implementation of the present invention; should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the principle of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
