Simultaneously, oil pressure by hydraulic oil and the elastic force acting in conjunction of elastic component 207 are on plunger 203, but make plunger 203 and the fit system of valve mechanism 600 become back springing type, and then can carry out supply according to the variation of valve mechanism 600 initial positions, guarantee that valve mechanism 600 often contacts with plunger 203.
According to one embodiment of present invention, as shown in Figure 6, tappet mechanism 200 also comprises two fixedly boards 221, and these two fixedly board 221 is parallel and relatively be arranged on the top of assembly department 201, and tappet roller 209 is folded in these two fixedly between board 221 pivotly.
With reference to Fig. 6, Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, tappet roller 209 by pass two fixedly board 221 bearing pin 223 and be folded in pivotly two fixedly between board 221, and be provided with drive bearing 210 between tappet roller 209 and bearing pin 223.Particularly, bearing pin 223 can with two fixing pin shaft hole interference fit on board 221, drive bearing 210 is set in the outside of bearing pin 223 and between the inner peripheral surface of the outer circumferential face of bearing pin 223 and tappet roller 209, the friction when being used for reducing tappet roller 209 and rolling.
Certainly, the invention is not restricted to this, in another embodiment of the present invention, tappet roller 209 by pass two fixedly board 221 bearing pin 223 and be folded in pivotly two fixedly between board 221 and tappet roller 209 integrally formed with bearing pin 223.That is to say, in this embodiment, bearing pin 223 is integrally formed with tappet roller 209, this moment bearing pin 223 with fixedly can be provided with bearing between board 221, the friction when being used for reducing 209 rolling of tappet roller.
As Fig. 6, Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, tappet mechanism 200 comprises two banking stops 225, these two banking stops 225 are located at respectively two transverse sides of tappet roller 209 and two fixedly between board 221, are understandable that, this laterally is the thickness direction of tappet roller 209.Wherein, one of them of two banking stops 225 is located between the fixedly board 221 of a side on tappet roller 209 thickness directions and this side, and 225 correspondences of a remaining banking stop are located between the fixedly board 221 of another side on tappet roller 209 thickness directions and this side.
By banking stop 225 is set, can be better tappet roller 209 axially on the degrees of freedom of (namely adjusting the direction of spin axis) restriction tappet roller 209, prevent that tappet roller 209 from moving axially.
Further, banking stop 225 is configured to annular substantially, and for example in the example of Fig. 6, banking stop 225 all forms ring.And, this substantially the radial dimension of the banking stop 225 of annular greater than the radial dimension of tappet roller 209, that is to say, in the example of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the external diameter of ring banking stop 225 is greater than the external diameter of tappet roller 209.
adopt this design, can coordinate better to move being parallel on the direction of adjusting spin axis restriction rocker arm body 100 with the bottom of rocker arm body 100, for example the bottom of rocker arm body 100 can be formed with projection 102, the profile 103 of rocker arm body 100 is formed on the bottom surface of this projection 102, distance between these two banking stops 225 can be about equally with projection 102 width, thereby restriction projection 102 and rocker arm body 100 integral body move axially, the profile 103 that guarantees rocker arm body 100 closely cooperates with tappet roller 209 constantly, avoid profile 103 and 209 dislocation of tappet roller.
Certainly, the invention is not restricted to this, in other embodiments of the invention, the shape of banking stop 225 also is not limited to annular substantially, for example also can form rectangle or other shape, the part that only needs this banking stop 225 to have to project upwards tappet roller 209 in case the bottom of rocker arm body 100 for example projection 102 can be limited in getting final product between the projection of these two banking stops 225.
According to one embodiment of present invention, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, tappet mechanism 200 also comprises positive stop lug boss 227, and this positive stop lug boss 227 is located in installing space and the outer circumferential face of contiguous plunger 203.The outer circumferential face of plunger 203 is provided with flange 229 and when plunger 203 moves down the second intended distance in installing space, that is to say, when the relative installing space of plunger 203 moves down the second intended distance along valve mechanism 600 center lines, the bottom surface of flange 229 only is against on the end face of positive stop lug boss 227, that is to say this moment flange 229 be supported on positive stop lug boss 227 above, thereby avoid because move too fierceness or valve mechanism 600 motions of valve mechanism 600 were lost efficacy and caused plunger 203 integral body to drop out from the bottom of installing space.
In brief, when valve mechanism is in initial position, interval, bottom surface first intended distance of the end face of plunger 203 and Sealing 205, end face interval second intended distance of the bottom surface of flange 229 and positive stop lug boss 227, these two distances are plunger 203 motion surplus of installing space relatively on valve mechanism 600 centerline directions.
Thus, under the oil pressure effect of elastic component 207 and hydraulic oil, can not give according to the variation of valve mechanism 600 relative initial positions, make up the problem that the engine long time can not fine airtight air inlet of combustion chamber due to the caused valve mechanism 600 that expands during due to valve mechanism 600 wearing and tearing or valve mechanism 600 work after using, and the setting of positive stop lug boss 227 can also be avoided losing efficacy and causing plunger 203 integral body to drop out from the bottom of installing space due to valve mechanism 600 motions.
As shown in Figure 8, the end face of flange 229 is preferably concordant with the end face of plunger 203, and positive stop lug boss 227 is preferably formed and is ring.
In some embodiments of the invention, the first intended distance is 1-2mm, in other words, when valve mechanism 600 is positioned at initial position, interval, the bottom surface 1-2mm of the end face of plunger 203 and Sealing 205, because span between the bottom surface of plunger 203 end faces and Sealing 205 is very little, the while is due to the physical property of hydraulic oil, thereby after making hydraulic oil be full of plunger cavity 215 and plunger 203 being applied a downward pressure, substantially can not flow into from this gap the outside of plunger 203.
In some embodiments of the invention, the second intended distance is 1-2mm.In other words, when valve mechanism 600 is positioned at initial position, the end face interval 1-2mm of the bottom surface of flange 229 and positive stop lug boss 227.
As shown in Figure 6, according to one embodiment of present invention, Sealing 205 is configured to be suitable for the screw plug that is connected with assembly department 201 screw threads.Can be formed with outside thread on the outer circumferential face of this screw plug, the top open part of installing space can correspondence be formed with internal thread, thereby by screw-thread fit, screw plug is securely fixed on assembly department 201 like this, to seal better the top of installing space, also can be used as simultaneously for example supporting base of spring of plunger 203 and elastic component 207.
In general, prop column structure 200 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention can have following advantage:
1) simple in structure, can reduce mechanical friction, and then reduce oil consumption, easy to implement, implementation cost is low;
2) guarantee what valve mechanism 600 tops and the outer bottom of plunger 203 always contacted, the stability of increase system works;
3) effectively reduce the NVH characteristic that engine fuel consumption improves motor simultaneously;
4) be conducive to increase turbulent flow in cylinder, improve velocity of combustion, increase the low speed torque of motor, use larger valve lift can significantly improve air inflow during high rotating speed, and then the output power when promoting high rotating speed.
Below with reference to Fig. 1-Figure 21, actuating mechanism 300 is according to an embodiment of the invention described.
As Figure 11-shown in Figure 14, actuating mechanism 300 comprises active part 301 and secondary part 351 according to an embodiment of the invention.Active part 301 comprises driving shaft 303 and the driving gear 305 that is set on driving shaft 303, and driving gear 305 can be distinguished processing separately with driving shaft 303, and then this driving gear 305 can be fixing by keyway arrangements and driving shaft 303.Certainly, driving gear 305 also can be integrally formed with driving shaft 303.
As Figure 11 and shown in Figure 13, secondary part 351 comprises driven shaft 353 and pivotal axis 357, driven shaft 353 is connected with pivotal axis 357 and driving shaft 303, driven shaft 353 and pivotal axis 357 in any two parallel to each other.In other words, driving shaft 303, driven shaft 353 are parallel in twos with pivotal axis 357, and pivotal axis 357 is connected with driven shaft 353.
As shown in figure 11, driven shaft 353 is provided with driven gear 355, this driven gear 355 and driving gear 305 engagements, driving shaft 303 drives driving gear 305 rotations like this, and driving gear 305 drives with the further driven shaft 353 that drives of driven gear 355, the driven gear 355 of its engagement and rotates around adjusting spin axis.
Wherein the central axis of driven shaft 353 overlaps with the adjustment spin axis, in other words, the adjustment spin axis of this actuating mechanism 300 is the central axis of driven shaft 353, and when this adjustment spin axis is zero with valve mechanism 600 lift amount, the spin axis of tappet roller 209 overlaps.
As Figure 12-shown in Figure 14, pivotal axis 357 is suitable for being connected with rocker arm body 100 and the central axis of pivotal axis 357 overlaps with the rocking arm spin axis.For example, rocker arm body 100 is set in the outside of this pivotal axis 357 swingably, and rocker arm body 100 can swing around the central axis of this pivotal axis 357 under the driving of camshaft mechanism 500.
like this, thereby when realizing the adjusting of valve mechanism 600 lift amount by the profile 103 that changes rocker arm body 100 with tappet roller 209 cooperation positions, can be rotated around adjusting spin axis by driving gear 305 driving driven gears 355 and driven shaft 353, because the relative cylinder cap of driven shaft 353 is irremovable and only rotating, therefore the pivotal axis 357 that is connected with driven shaft 353 can rotate around adjusting spin axis, fix sheathed rocker arm body 100 on pivotal axis 357 also around adjusting the spin axis rotation thereby make, and then the profile 103 that the changes rocker arm body 100 bottoms position that coordinates with tappet roller 209, realize the adjusting of valve mechanism 600 lifts.
And, angle that driven shaft 353 turns over is different; the profile 103 of rocker arm body 100 bottoms is also different with the position that tappet roller 209 coordinates; can realize the different rotation angles of driven shaft 353 by the driving gear 305 that meshes from driven gear 355, and then can realize the continuous variable of valve mechanism 600 lifts.
According to one embodiment of present invention, can be formed with oil storage hole in driven shaft bearing 359, be provided with the driven shaft oil duct on driven shaft 353, this driven shaft oil duct is communicated with when driven shaft 353 rotates separably with oil storage hole.Specifically, be formed with oil storage hole in driven shaft bearing 359, can be used for laying in lubricant oil in this oil storage hole, driven shaft 353 is provided with the driven shaft oil duct, one end of this driven shaft oil duct is communicated with oil storage hole when driven shaft 353 is positioned at initial position, and the other end can be communicated with the corresponding oil circuit in cylinder cap.
Like this, when driven shaft 353 is positioned at initial position, in cylinder cap, the lubricant oil of corresponding oil circuit can flow in oil storage hole by the driven shaft oil duct, and after driven shaft 353 rotates, this oil storage hole separates with a described end of driven shaft oil duct, the interior lubricant oil of oil storage hole this moment namely can be used for lubricated driven shaft 353, with respect to the friction of driven shaft bearing 359, improves transmission efficiency when reducing driven shaft 353 rotation.
Need to prove, the initial position of above-mentioned driven shaft 353 can be valve mechanism 600 lift amount residing positions of this driven shaft 353 when being zero, and when needs were regulated the lift amount of valve mechanism 600, driven shaft 353 namely rotated and leaves this initial position.
In one embodiment of the invention, as shown in figure 11, pivotal axis 357 is provided with pivotal axis limit structure 361, this pivotal axis limit structure 361 is configured to be suitable for limit rocker arm body 100 and moves with respect to pivotal axis 357 on the direction that is parallel to the rocking arm spin axis, that is to say, this pivotal axis limit structure 361 is used for limiting in the axial direction rocker arm body 100 axle 357 that is pivoted relative to each other and moves, thereby guarantees that rocker arm body 100 can coordinate with camshaft mechanism 500 and tappet mechanism 200 better.
In some embodiments of the invention, driving gear 305 and driven gear 355 are a plurality of and correspond to each other respectively.For example in the example of Figure 11-Figure 14, this driving gear 305 and driven gear 355 are two.Be understandable that, the actuating mechanism 300 in this example is applicable to have dual valve mechanism for example on the cylinder of two intake valves.Certainly, have the motor of one or three intake valve for each cylinder, this driving gear 305 and driven gear 355 can correspond to a pair of or three pairs.
According to one embodiment of present invention, as shown in figure 11, pivotal axis 357 comprises each interval and two sections (being 357a, the 357b in Figure 11) being connected with driven shaft 353 respectively, in other words, in this embodiment, pivotal axis 357 is broken into two sections, each section is connected with driven shaft 353 respectively, coordinate like this driving gear 305 and the driven gear 355 of two pairs of engagements, can so that secondary part 353 is stressed more even, greatly improve stability and the durability of actuating mechanism 300.
And, adopt the pivotal axis 357 of this disconnecting type can also effectively reduce the total quality of actuating mechanism 300, and then guarantee that actuating mechanism 300 is lighter, flexible, improve abrasion condition, facilitate simultaneously the layout of cylinder cap.Be understandable that, the actuating mechanism with disconnecting type pivotal axis 357 300 in this embodiment is applicable to every cylinder and has for example motor of two intake valves of two valve mechanisms.
Certainly, the invention is not restricted to this, in another embodiment of the present invention, pivotal axis 357 also can integral body manufacture one, and namely middle is form continuous but not that above-described embodiment breaks.
In order to improve the bulk strength of secondary part 351, simplified manufacturing technique, driven shaft 353, pivotal axis 357 can be integrally formed with driven gear 355.Certainly, the invention is not restricted to this, driven shaft 353, pivotal axis 357 also can be distinguished independent manufacturing with driven gear 355, and then pivotal axis 357 and driven gear 355 are assemblied in respectively on driven shaft 353.
As Figure 11, Figure 12 and shown in Figure 14, actuating mechanism 300 also comprises return spring 363, return spring 363 can be set on pivotal axis 357, and an end of return spring 363 is buckled on rocker arm body 100, flexibly rocker arm body only is against on camshaft mechanism 500.
By return spring 363 is set, thereby can guarantee that rocker arm body 100 coordinates with camshaft mechanism 500 zero clearances, say with having more, elastic force by return spring 363, cam 505 zero clearances of the rocking arm roller 111 that can make rocker arm body 100 tops and camshaft mechanism 500 coordinate, thereby improved whole stability, avoided rocker arm body 100 and camshaft mechanism 500 gap to occur in the process of relative movement, affected normal working of engine.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, driven gear 355 is the cardinal principle tooth sector, as shown in figure 13.Thus, adopt tooth sector substantially, can realize on the one hand carrying out effectively spacingly to rocker arm body 100 when spin axis rotates around adjusting, also alleviated on the other hand the total quality of actuating mechanism 300.
For first aspect, specifically, driven shaft 353 rotates the profile 103 contact cooperation position different from tappet roller 209 that can realize rocker arm body 100 bottoms in the several angle scope, and hypothesis driven shaft 353 turns over outside this angular range, the profile 103 that rocker arm body 100 may occur breaks away from tappet roller 209 and coordinates, and causes rocker arm body 100 integral-rotations excessive.
Therefore, can avoid the generation of this situation after employing cardinal principle tooth sector, after namely the tooth of tooth sector two ends breaks away from substantially with this when driving gear 305, driving gear 305 namely breaks away from engagement with this cardinal principle tooth sector, if this moment, driving gear 305 still rotated according to sense of rotation before, this cardinal principle tooth sector will no longer rotate.
For second aspect, specifically, owing to adopting this cardinal principle tooth sector, thereby alleviated to a certain extent the quality of actuating mechanism 300, can make like this actuating mechanism 300 lighter, flexible, greatly improve the abrasion condition of actuating mechanism 300, simultaneously the layout of convenient cylinder cap.
1) simple in structure, be easy to the layout of cylinder cap, cost is low;
2) the drive mechanism total quality is lighter, effectively reduces the overall mass of actuating mechanism 300, reduces fuel consume;
3) have good lubrication effect between driven shaft bearing 359 and driven shaft 353, effectively reduce mechanical friction and noise;
4) whole driving mode is simply firm, and stability and durability are good.
Below with reference to Fig. 1-Figure 21, actuating mechanism 400 is in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention described.
Housing 401 can form general cylindrical housing 401, and housing 401 can be fixed on a side of cylinder cap.As Figure 15 and shown in Figure 16, the inner peripheral surface of housing 401 is provided with a plurality of spaced housing boss 403, housing boss 403 radially extends towards the center of housing 401, in other words, all along radially the extending towards adjusting spin axis of housing 401, a plurality of housing boss 403 are upwards spaced apart in week for each housing boss 403.
As Figure 15 and shown in Figure 16, rotor 421 is located in housing 401 rotationally and the central axis of rotor 421 overlaps with adjusting spin axis, is provided with a plurality of rotor boss 423 on the outer circumferential face of rotor 421.In other words, rotor 421 is located in housing 401 rotationally around the central axis of rotor 421, the central axis of rotor 421 is the adjustment spin axis of actuating mechanism 400, and this adjustment spin axis overlaps with the spin axis of tappet roller 209 when valve mechanism 600 lift amount are zero.
Wherein the space between two of arbitrary neighborhood housing boss 403 is defined as and is isolated from each other and airtight the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407 by being arranged on therebetween a rotor boss 423, and wherein the first oil pocket 405 is positioned at the downstream side of the second oil pocket 407 in the clockwise direction on (the direction B in Figure 16).
For example, as shown in figure 16, the distance of each housing boss 403 is adjusted the nearer side surface of spin axis and the outer circumferential face of rotor 421 closely cooperates, thereby limits above-mentioned space between the outer circumferential face of adjacent two housing boss 403, housing 401 and rotor 421.
Be provided with a rotor boss 423 between two housing boss 403 of arbitrary neighborhood, the distance of this rotor boss 423 is adjusted spin axis one side far away and can be closely cooperated with the inner peripheral surface of housing 401, thereby the space of 403 of corresponding two housings boss is isolated into two independences and airtight the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407
This first oil pocket 405 is positioned at the downstream side (first oil pocket 405 in same space and the second oil pocket 407) of this second oil pocket 407 in the clockwise direction, and a plurality of like this housing boss 403 and a plurality of rotor boss 423 just can limit a plurality of the first oil pockets 405 and a plurality of the second oil pocket 407 that is interspersed jointly on circumferentially.
For example, take four housing boss 403 and four rotor boss 423 as example, can limit altogether four the first oil pockets 405 and four the second oil pockets 407 between these four housing boss 403 and four rotor boss 423, these four the first oil pockets 405 and these four the second oil pockets 407 upwards were crisscross arranged in week.
Be limited with the first oil duct and the second oil duct in rotor 421, an end of the first oil duct is connected with the first oil pocket 405, and the other end of the first oil duct is suitable for being connected with the oil pump of motor.Similarly, an end of the second oil duct is connected with the second oil pocket 407, and the other end of the second oil duct also is suitable for being connected to the oil pump of motor.Need to prove, here " connection " should make broad understanding, and namely the second end of the first oil duct and the second oil duct can be connected on oil pump indirectly by intermediary.
The first oil duct can comprise a plurality of seed oils roads, and an end in and each seed oil identical with the quantity of the first oil pocket 405 road, a plurality of seed oils road of this first oil duct all is communicated with the first oil pocket 405.Similarly, the second oil duct also can comprise a plurality of seed oils roads, and an end in and each seed oil identical with the quantity of the second oil pocket 407 road, a plurality of seed oils road of this second oil duct all is communicated with the second oil pocket 407.
With reference to Figure 15-Figure 17, an end of eccentric shaft 451 is fixed on rotor 421 and the other end extends outward in housing 401, and the central axis of eccentric shaft 451 overlaps with the rocking arm spin axis and is parallel to the adjustment spin axis.Wherein, rocker arm body 100 is set in the outside of eccentric shaft 451 swingably, and rocker arm body 100 can be just that the rocking arm spin axis swings around the central axis of eccentric shaft 451 under the driving of camshaft mechanism 500 like this.
the working principle of this actuating mechanism 400 is: hydraulic oil can be from the first oil duct to a plurality of the first interior fuel feeding of oil pocket 405, and the hydraulic oil in a plurality of the second oil pockets 407 can flow out in the second oil duct, the oil pressure that is equivalent to like this each the first oil pocket 405 is all higher than the oil pressure of second oil pocket 407 corresponding with it, under the effect of this pressure difference, rotor 421 can rotate relative to housing 401, because housing 401 is fixed, therefore rotor 421 can be around adjusting the spin axis rotation in housing 401, in the process that rotor 421 rotates, the volume of the first oil pocket 405 becomes large and the smaller volume of the second oil pocket 407, finally rotor 421 no longer rotates relative to housing 401 after the oil pressure balance in the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407.
Certainly, hydraulic oil also can flow to a plurality of the second oil pockets 407 from the second oil duct, and the hydraulic oil in a plurality of the first oil pockets 405 flows out from the first oil duct, and in the case, the sense of rotation of rotor 421 is contrary to the above.
For example in the example of Fig. 1, when fuel-displaced, rotor 421 can clockwise rotate when the first interior oil-feed of oil pocket 405, the second oil pocket 407.Equally, when fuel-displaced and the second oil pocket 407 oil-feed of the first oil pocket 405,421 of rotors rotate counterclockwise.
In brief, this actuating mechanism 400 is exactly to rotate by the poor drive rotor 421 of the oil pressure of the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407, thereby realizes the adjusting of valve lift amount.
in addition, need to prove, clockwise rotate as example with rotor 421, the oil pump capacity of the oil inlet quantity of a plurality of the first oil pockets 405 and a plurality of the second oil pockets 407 can be controlled by ECU, rotating speed when for example ECU can move according to motor, power, the parameters such as load judge the operating conditions of motor, then control adaptively the total amount of the hydraulic oil that feeds a plurality of the first oil pockets 405 according to the engine operation condition that draws, also control simultaneously the total amount of the hydraulic oil that releases from a plurality of the second oil pockets 407, like this after the effect lower rotor part 421 of pressure reduction clockwise rotates several angle, because making the oil pressure in two oil pockets, the Volume Changes of the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407 equates, rotor 421 no longer rotates, complete adjusting.Be understandable that it is exactly required adjusted position that rotor 421 turns over the equilibrium position that is in after several angle.In addition, also need to prove, the amount that hydraulic oil enters each the first oil pocket 405 is preferably identical, and the amount of the hydraulic oil that releases of each second oil pocket 407 is also preferably identical equally.
The working procedure that rotates counterclockwise for rotor 421 with above-mentioned clockwise rotate just opposite, i.e. fuel-displaced, the second oil pocket 407 oil-feeds of the first oil pocket 405 this moment, it is similar that its detailed process and principle and above-mentioned rotor 421 clockwise rotate, and please refer to top description, no longer describes in detail here.
In one embodiment of the invention, the distance of each rotor boss 423 is adjusted on a spin axis side surface far away and is provided with elastic piece structure 427, this elastic piece structure 427 closely cooperates with the inner peripheral surface of housing 401, that is to say, in this embodiment, the end face of rotor boss 423 is not directly to contact with the inner peripheral surface of housing 401, but close-fitting with the inner peripheral surface of housing 401 by elastic piece structure 427.
Particularly, be provided with groove on a described side surface of each rotor boss 423, this groove can form roughly lineal shape groove.Elastic piece structure 427 comprises shell fragment and projection, and a side and the other end that an end of shell fragment is fixed on projection are suitable for flexibly being pressed in groove, for example are pressed on the bottom surface of groove, so that the opposite side of projection only is against on the internal surface of housing 401.
Can guarantee that like this opposite side surface of projection and the inner peripheral surface of housing 401 fit tightly, thereby better the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407 are kept apart, and adopt such elastic piece structure 427, can also effectively reduce the friction of rotor boss 423 and housing 401 inner peripheral surfaces.
Excessive for fear of rocker arm body 100 integral-rotations, cause the profile 103 of rocker arm body 100 to coordinate with 209 disengagings of tappet roller, preferably, eccentric shaft 451 rotates in predetermined angular range.
For example in one embodiment of the invention, as Figure 15-shown in Figure 21, housing 401 comprises shell 409 and end cap 411, one side of shell 409 opens wide to form shell aperture, end cap 411 is arranged on shell 409 and seals this shell aperture, be formed with one section on shell 409 around the circular arc restraining groove 413 of adjusting spin axis, wherein the described the other end of eccentric shaft 451 passes circular arc restraining groove 413 and extends outward.
Like this, by the position-limiting action of circular arc restraining groove 413, can avoid eccentric shaft 451 when driving rocker arm body 100 around the adjustment spin axis, rocker arm body 100 breaks away from tappet roller 209 and coordinates, thereby greatly improves the stability of system works.
According to one embodiment of present invention, as Figure 15 and shown in Figure 21, actuating mechanism 400 also comprises positioning component 461, this positioning component 461 is located on one of them rotor boss 423, be used for when assembling, end cap 411 and rotor 421 being positioned, avoid rotor 421 freely to rotate relative to housing 401, affect initial mounting point, cause this actuating mechanism 400 can not correctly drive rocker structure 100.
As shown in Figure 1, this positioning component 461 can comprise stop collar 463, stop screw 465 and spacing elastic component 467.Wherein stop collar 463 can be embedded in the receiving bore 424 that is formed on rotor boss 423, that is to say, can be formed with receiving bore 424 on rotor boss 423, this receiving bore 424 opens wide towards a side of end cap 411, and stop collar 463 can be located at this receiving bore 424 and integral body is hidden in the hole.
As Figure 16, Figure 17 and shown in Figure 21, stop screw 465 wear by stop collar 463 and an end for example tail end only be against in spacing hole 412 on end cap 411 internal surfaces, wherein be formed with hydraulic oil steering channel 414 on the internal surface of end cap 411, one in one end of this hydraulic oil steering channel 414 and the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407 is communicated with, and the other end is communicated with spacing hole 412.Hydraulic oil steering channel 414 can be the groove type steering channel that is formed on end cap 411 internal surfaces.
Spacing elastic component 467 is located in stop collar 463, and the other end that spacing elastic component 467 is arranged on stop screw 465 by elasticity is for example between the bottom surface of head end and receiving bore 424.The radial dimension of the head end of stop screw 465 can prevent like this that greater than the radial dimension of the tail end of stop screw 465 stop screw 465 integral body from passing from stop collar 463.
Thus, when being arranged on end cap 411 on shell 409, because spacing elastic component 467 is in compressive state, its the other end that can impose on stop screw 465 is elastic force of head end for example, an end of the effect lower limit screw 465 of this elastic force for example tail end can be positioned at spacing hole 412, thereby realize the positioning action of 411 pairs of rotors 421 of end cap, prevent that rotor 421 from freely rotating relative to housing 401, the impact assembling.
And when actuating mechanism 400 work, be full of hydraulic oil in the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407, hydraulic oil can flow in spacing hole 412 by hydraulic oil steering channel 414, along with hydraulic oil constantly enters, the interior oil pressure of spacing hole 412 constantly increases, and after oil pressure was increased to a certain degree, the tail end that can push against stop screw 465 withdrawed from from spacing hole 412, thereby removed the positioning action of 411 pairs of rotors 421 of end cap, this moment, rotor 421 can be in the interior rotation of housing 401.Alternatively, in the example of Figure 15, spacing elastic component 467 is spring.
In one embodiment of the invention, as Figure 15-shown in Figure 17, actuating mechanism 400 also comprises connecting valve 471, the first oil duct all is connected with the oil pump of motor by this connecting valve 471 with the second oil duct, such the first oil pocket 405, the second oil pocket 407 just can be accepted the hydraulic oil squeezed into from oil pump, and perhaps the hydraulic oil in the first oil pocket 405, the second oil pocket 407 can be back to oil pump.
As Figure 15-shown in Figure 17, one end of connecting valve 471 passes end cap 411 and is fixed in rotor 421, be provided with seal ring between connecting valve 471 and end cap 411, thereby avoid hydraulic oil to flow out from connecting valve 471 and the gap of end cap 411, the precision when affecting actuating mechanism 400 driving rocker arm bodies 100 adjusting valve mechanism 600 lift.
Need to prove, connecting valve 471 is connected with the oil pump of motor and can makes broad understanding here, and for example connecting valve 471 can be communicated with corresponding hydraulic oil circuit in cylinder cap, and the interior hydraulic oil circuit of cylinder cap can directly be connected with oil pump.
Be understandable that, connecting valve 471 has the first oil circuit that is communicated with the first oil duct respectively and the second oil circuit that is communicated with the second oil duct respectively.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, housing boss 403 is identical with the number of rotor boss 423, for example housing boss 403 and rotor boss 423 are four, and all upwards evenly distribute in week, that is to say about 90 ° of two housing boss 403 of arbitrary neighborhood or rotor boss 423 intervals.
The below is take four rotor boss 423 and four housing boss 403 as example, and brief description is working principle and the process of actuating mechanism 400 according to an embodiment of the invention.
At first describing rotor 421 clockwise rotates.
Oil pump can be supplied with connecting valve 471 with hydraulic oil by the corresponding hydraulic oil circuit in cylinder cap, and hydraulic oil is averagely allocated to four first oil pockets 405 with this part hydraulic oil by four the first oil ducts by the first oil circuit in connecting valve 471.
Simultaneously, four the second oil pocket 407 interior part hydraulic oil release by four the second corresponding oil ducts and connecting valve 471, and the hydraulic oil that this part is released can be back to oil pump from corresponding hydraulic oil circuit in cylinder cap.
Like this, the hydraulic oil in each first oil pocket 405 increases, and the hydraulic oil in each second oil pocket 407 reduces, thereby mineralization pressure is poor, because housing 401 is fixed, therefore under the poor effect of hydraulic fluid pressure, hydraulic oil can clockwise rotate by drive rotor 421.
In the process that rotor 421 clockwise rotates, it is large that the volume of the first oil pocket 405 becomes, oil pressure reduces gradually, the smaller volume of the second oil pocket 407, oil pressure increases gradually, rotor 421 stops operating after the oil pressure in the first oil pocket 405 and the second oil pocket 407 reaches balance again, and this position is the position after adjusting.
During this period, eccentric shaft 451 drives rocker arm body 100 motions around adjusting spin axis under the drive of rotor 421, thereby change the profile 103 of rocker arm body 100 bottoms and the cooperation position of tappet roller 209, thereby realize the change of valve mechanism 600 lift amount.
Secondly, when rotor 421 rotated counterclockwise, four the first oil pocket 405 interior hydraulic oil released, and four the second interior oil-feeds of oil pocket 407, thereby rotor 421 is rotated counterclockwise, and its principle is consistent during with above-mentioned clockwise rotating, and is not described in detail course of action here.
Be appreciated that, when motor becomes the high speed high load working condition from the little load of low speed, the firing chamber need to enter more air, so that the power output of fully burning and improving motor with more fuel oil, this moment, the lift amount of valve mechanism 600 need be heightened accordingly, that is to say the cooperation position of the profile 103 that needs by changing rocker arm body 100 bottoms and tappet roller 209.
The change of this cooperation position needs rocker arm body 100 to turn over respective angles and realize around adjusting spin axis, so as the high-lift curved surface of rocker arm body 100 namely the 3rd section curved surface 109 coordinate with tappet roller 209.
And rocker arm body 100 can it turns over required adjusting angle by actuating mechanism 400 drivings, that is to say can be by releasing a certain amount of hydraulic oil in a plurality of the second oil pockets 407 (certainly also a plurality of the first oil pocket 405 drainings and a plurality of the second oil pocket 407 oil-feeds) simultaneously to a plurality of first a certain amount of hydraulic oil of the interior infeed of oil pocket 405, turn over its required adjustment angle thereby make rotor 421 drive eccentric shaft 451 and then drive rocker arm body 100, finally obtain the lift amount of required valve mechanism 600.
In general, actuating mechanism 400 according to an embodiment of the invention, can have following advantage:
1) can effectively reduce the windage loss of valve;
That 2) can effectively reduce low speed prolongs journey loss, thereby improves the low engine speed moment of torsion;
3) these actuating mechanism 400 controls are simple, accurate, and reliability is high, and cost is low, is easy to realize.
Below with reference to Figure 22-Figure 27, the working procedure of variable valve lift driving device 1000 is according to an embodiment of the invention described simply.
At first with reference to Figure 22-Figure 23, in these two figure, the first paragraph curved surface 105 of the profile 103 of rocker arm body 100 bottoms coordinates with tappet roller 209, when this moment, camshaft mechanism 500 driving rocker arm bodies 100 swung around the rocking arm spin axis, the lift of valve mechanism 600 is zero, be the suction port of the airtight firing chamber of valve mechanism, realize intelligent cylinder deactivation.
Secondly, with reference to Figure 24-Figure 25, in these two figure, the second segment curved surface 107 of the profile 103 of rocker arm body 100 bottoms coordinates with tappet roller 209, when this moment, camshaft mechanism 500 driving rocker arm bodies 100 swung around the rocking arm spin axis, the lift of valve mechanism 600 is less, is suitable for the low engine speed small load condition.
At last, with reference to Figure 26-Figure 27, in these two figure, the 3rd section curved surface 109 of the profile 103 of rocker arm body 100 bottoms coordinates with tappet roller 209, when this moment, camshaft mechanism 500 driving rocker arm bodies 100 swung around the rocking arm spin axis, the lift of valve mechanism 600 is larger, is suitable for the high engine speeds high load working condition.
Be understandable that, at actuating mechanism 300, when 400 driving rocker arm bodies 100 swing around the rocking arm spin axis, on the second segment curved surface 107 that can realize rocker arm body 100 bottoms and the 3rd section curved surface 109, the arbitrary position contacts cooperation with tappet roller 209, after cooperation position changes, valve lift is corresponding change also, thereby has realized the adjustable continuously of valve lift.
