Turning now to Fig. 7-10, by roller lifter 110 of the description according to another example constructions of this teaching.Roller is lifted Device 110 generally includes main body 130, and it has to receive returns leakage component 132 in main body 130.Roller bearing (referring to Fig. 1) can It is rotatably mounted to main body 130.Anti-rotation device 136 includes the vaginal plug 138 that main body 130 is fixed to C clamp 140 (Fig. 7). Main body 130 includes being disposed for being located at hole in the cylinder head of internal combustion engine or engine cylinder-body (see, for example, hole slot 158, Figure 10) outer periphery surface 142 of the sliding motion in.Main body 130 includes being formed at wherein and from outer periphery surface 142 The passage 150 of indent, it is configured to receive vaginal plug 138.
Vaginal plug 138 correspondingly includes the first and second salient angle main parts 152 and 154.First salient angle main part 152 It is configured to be slidably received in the passage 150 of main body 130 on direction as shown in Figure 8 generally upwards.First is convex Angle main part 152 will be keyed in passage 150 to prevent the radial motion of vaginal plug 138.Groove 160 is defined at passage 150 To receive C clamp 140 in main body 130.Vaginal plug 138 can be maintained in passage 150 and prevent guiding by C clamp 140 The axial movement of plug 138.In one example, the cold forming of vaginal plug 138.
Second salient angle main part 154 extends radially beyond the outer periphery surface 142 of main body 130 in installation site.Second Salient angle main part 154 can have a pair of parallel side wall 156.Second salient angle main part 154 is configured to be located at or key in gas In corresponding hole slot 158 (Figure 10) in cylinder cap 159 so as to forbid during operation roller lifter surround longitudinal axis rotation. Extension 162 can be formed on vaginal plug 138.Extension 162 can be the vaginal plug of such as cold forming material overflow The result of 138 forming process.It is explained further, can be configured to allow in vaginal plug 138 for the mould in cold forming One end forms projection.Extension 162 can also include being configured to prevent from keeping the rotation of the C clamp 140 of vaginal plug 138 The finger 164 (Fig. 9) turned, further improves reliability.
Main body 130 includes interface channel 170 formed therein and exterior groove 172 (Fig. 8).Interface channel 170 and outer Portion's groove 172 can be from the indent of outer periphery surface 142.Interface channel 170 by exterior groove 172 and interconnection 174 fluidly Connection.Oil interconnection 174 can be flow between interface channel 170 and exterior groove 172 with lubricate roller bearing (referring to Fig. 1).
According to the further feature of the disclosure, additional coupling arrangement and/or connection technology can be provided so as to by vaginal plug 138 are maintained in the passage 150 of the main body 130 of roller lifter 110.In one example, the main body of roller lifter 110 130 can be in differential annealing in the region around vaginal plug 138.In some instances, once the metal softening of vaginal plug 138, It can be molded towards vaginal plug 138 or shape vaginal plug 138 being maintained in passage 150.Additionally or alternatively, limit The circumferential edges region 180 of the entrance of passage 150 can anneal and with closed circumference and be captured vaginal plug 138 to internal shaping In passage 150.
In other examples, vaginal plug 138 can be riveted relative to the main body 130 of roller lifter 110.When riveting, Vaginal plug 138 can be interference fitted in the passage of main body 130.In a non-limiting example, vaginal plug 138 can be with It is slidably inserted into passage 150.Once insertion, can use the instrument of such as riveting punch press axially to compress vaginal plug 138. Being compressed axially can be radially expanded the outer surface of the first salient angle main part 152 (and second salient angle main part 154), with master The formation interference fit of passage 150 of body 130.Permanent joint can cause vaginal plug 138 being maintained in passage 150.
In other configurations, vaginal plug 138 can in passage 150 resistance welding to main body 130.It can also use such as Other welding operations of laser welding are so that vaginal plug 138 is connected in main body 130.It will be appreciated that above-mentioned additional connection skill Art can apply equally to other configurations disclosed herein, the vaginal plug 38 and main body 130 of such as roller lifter 10.This Outside, in some instances, a variety of connection technologies disclosed herein can be used together vaginal plug capturing roller lifting The main body of device.
According to the supplementary features of the disclosure, the various parts of roller lifter, vaginal plug and/or clip can be by shape or intelligence Can memorial alloy (SMA) formation.In general, SMA is " can to remember " metal of its original-shape or original shape.SMA is Martensite crystal material, it can mould, then be plastically deformed, and subsequently heat-treated to return to desired shape.Once Insertion, can be heat-treated vaginal plug 138.As used herein, term " heat treatment " is used to represent to raise SMA temperature So that SMA is returned into its original-shape or original shape more than to transition temperature.As non-limiting example, some SMA include NiTi (Ni-Ti, or Nitinol), copper, zinc and aluminium alloy (Cu-Zn-Al);Copper, al and ni (Cu-Al-Ni);Iron, manganese and silicon (Fe-Mn-Si).Other SMA can be used in the scope of the present disclosure.
In one configuration, the example with reference to shown in Fig. 7-9, vaginal plug 138 can be formed by SMA.Although will refer to Vaginal plug 138 carries out following discussion, but vaginal plug can be by with other similar geometrics in the scope of the present disclosure SMA is formed.It will be appreciated that vaginal plug can be with the shape initial formation consistent with expectation " installation " shape to routing 150 Or molding.
In one configuration, vaginal plug 138 can be introduced into the passage 150 of main body 130.In some instances, guide Plug 138 can be plastically deformed before inserting in passage 150.The temperature of rise vaginal plug 138 makes it become original-shape.At this The shape of vaginal plug 138 is fixed on the installation site in passage 150 by aspect, heat treatment.It will be appreciated that roller lifter 110 Can together it be heated with vaginal plug 138, the installation site for making SMA vaginal plugs 138 be fixed in passage 150.By vaginal plug 138 are fixed to the installation site in passage 150, and vaginal plug 138 tolerance can be obtained relative to passage 150 or gap coordinates.Should The need for example eliminates auxiliary retainer (such as c clevis 140).Moreover, such configuration eliminates installation vaginal plug 138 Particular tool the need for, reason is during installation without press-fit.
In another example, c clevis 140 can be formed by SMA.Again, c clevis 140 can with relative to main body 130 The consistent shape initial formation of expectation " installation " shape or molding.Vaginal plug 138 can be introduced to the passage 150 of main body 130 In, and then positioning c clevis 140 (or other auxiliary maintaining bodies).C clevis 140 can be heat-treated, so that it becomes its is original Shape, obtains the fixed relationship with main body 130 and vaginal plug 138 is fixed in passage 150.Again, in some instances, Whole component (roller lifter 110, vaginal plug 138 and c clevis 140) can be heated together, it is understood that SMA member will be to heat Processing suitably reacts.It can also be appreciated that more than one part can be formed by SMA.For example, vaginal plug 138 and c clevis 140 can all be formed by SMA and synergistically " be returned " to it with connecting relation after the heat treatment with geometry arrangement Original-shape.
In order to which the purpose of illustration and description provides the described above of example.This is not intended as the exhaustive or limitation disclosure. The single element or feature of particular example are typically not limited to the particular example, but be under applicable circumstances it is interchangeable, And it can be used in selected example, even if being not shown or described in detail.It can also be varied in many ways.These Change is not to be regarded as a departure from the disclosure, and all such modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present disclosure.
