吸排気弁駆動装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an intake/exhaust valve drive device for an internal combustion engine that variably controls the opening/closing timing and valve lift amount of intake/exhaust valves according to operating conditions.

ているが、その一つとして第1図に示す米国特許
第3413965号が知られている。 Various intake and exhaust valve drive devices have been proposed in the past, which variably control the opening/closing timing of the intake and exhaust valves and the amount of valve lift according to engine operating conditions so that pulp overlap and fresh air filling efficiency are always optimal. One such example is US Pat. No. 3,413,965 shown in FIG.

となるのである。 This valve drive device lifts the cam 1 by swinging the right and left sides of a rocker arm 3 whose one end abuts the valve drive cam 1 and whose other end is fitted and supported by the stem end of the intake/exhaust valve 2. is transmitted to the intake and exhaust valves 2. In particular, the lever 5 is pivotably supported at one end thereof, and its inclination is regulated by a control cam 6. The control cam 6 is rotationally driven in an appropriate phase according to engine operating conditions by a drive mechanism such as a hydraulic actuator, thereby variably controlling the opening/closing timing and lift amount of the intake/exhaust valve 2. That is, for example, if the amount of depression of the lever 5 by the control cam 6 is large, the valve drive cam 1
In the base circle state, the free end of the lever 5 and the rocker arm 3 are close to each other, so the opening timing of the intake and exhaust valves 2 is advanced, the valve lift amount is large, and the amount of depression by the control cam 6 is small. If so, even if the same valve drive cam 1 is in the base circle state, the free end of the lever 5 and the rocker arm 3 are separated, and therefore the opening timing of the intake and exhaust valves is delayed and the amount of valve lift is small. It becomes.

た。 However, in such a conventional intake/exhaust valve drive device, since the rocker arm 3 receives a force acting in the thrust direction from the drive cam 1, strong bending stress acts on the valve stem 2a of the intake/exhaust valve 2. However, there were problems such as abnormal wear of the guide portion of the valve stem 2a and breakage of the valve stem 2a.

供するものである。 The present invention has been developed by focusing on such conventional problems, and includes providing a concave portion approximately in the center of the rear surface of the rocker arm and the end on the valve stem side, and bringing the surface of the lever into fulcrum contact with the rear surface of the rocker arm between these recesses. By fitting the convex parts provided on both sides of the surface into the concave parts, the thrust force of the rocker arm received from the drive cam is supported by the lever, so that the valve stem and its guide part are An object of the present invention is to provide an intake/exhaust valve drive device that prevents wear and valve stem breakage.

are mated to each other. Note that this convex portion 15
The space between a and 15b is a linear support surface 16 that makes fulcrum contact with the convex curved surface 14. Note that the convex curved surface 14 functions to smooth the movement of the fulcrum contact point and enhance the valve lift and seating cushioning function.

The clearance between the valve stem 12a and the rocker arm 13, that is, the valve clearance, can be adjusted by a lockite 17b screwed onto the adjuster bolt 17a.

大きくLとなる。 In this state, when the valve driving cam 11 lifts the rocker arm 13, the fulcrum contact point A between the convex curved surface 14 on the back surface of the rocker arm 13 and the linear support surface of the lever 15 moves toward the recess 13a in accordance with the lift. Finally, the concave portion 13a and the convex portion 1
It swings about 5a as a fulcrum and pushes open the intake and exhaust valves 12. In this case, the amount of valve lift caused by pushing the valve open becomes large, L.

性を示す。 Next, the shaft drive device 21 drives the control cam 1.
9 rotates and the lever 15 pivots upward, even if the valve drive cam 11 lifts the rocker arm 13 as shown in FIG. There is a delay in the movement of point A toward the recess 13a, and accordingly, there is a delay in the engagement between the recess 13a of the rocker arm 13 and the protrusion 15a of the lever 15, and the valve lift amount becomes small to 1. In FIG. 6, a curve P shows the valve lift characteristic when the amount of depression of the lever 15 is increased by the control P cam 19, and a curve Q shows the valve lift characteristic when the lever 15 is pushed down by the control P cam 19.
This shows the valve lift characteristics when the amount of depression is reduced.
