(Embodiment)
The embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. This embodiment includes a valve that opens and closes a passage that communicates the inside and the outside of a cylinder, a biasing member that biases the valve to the outside and closes the valve, and a valve opening and closing component provided between the valves. A valve opening / closing component attaching / detaching tool for attaching / detaching the valve opening / closing component in an internal combustion engine having a cam for opening the valve by driving the valve inward against the urging force of the urging member via The present invention relates to a method for attaching / detaching a valve opening / closing component.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the attachment / detachment jig for the valve opening / closing component of the present embodiment is set. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing components of the jig for attaching / detaching the valve opening / closing component of the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 1, the code | symbol 30 shows an engine (internal combustion engine). The engine 30 is provided with a cylinder head 9. The cylinder head 9 is provided with an intake port (passage) 16. The intake port 16 is connected to the combustion chamber 15, and the intake port 16 communicates the combustion chamber 15 inside the cylinder with the outside of the cylinder. An intake valve 14 is provided between the intake port 16 and the combustion chamber 15.

  A valve spring (biasing member) 10 is provided between the intake valve 14 and the cylinder head 9. The intake valve 14 can be closed by urging the intake valve 14 toward the outside of the cylinder by the urging force of the valve spring 10.

  A camshaft 11 is rotatably supported on the cylinder head 9. The cam shaft 11 is provided with a cam portion 11a. A rocker arm (valve opening / closing component) 12 is provided between the cam portion 11 a and the intake valve 14. One end portion of the rocker arm 12 is in contact with the upper end portion of the shaft portion 14 a of the intake valve 14. The other end of the rocker arm 12 is supported by a lash adjuster (valve opening / closing component) 13 provided in the cylinder head 9. The rocker arm 12 is in contact with the cam portion 11 a by the urging force of the valve spring 10. The lash adjuster 13 supports the rocker arm 12 by hydraulic pressure, and has a function of automatically adjusting the valve clearance of the intake valve 14.

  A timing chain is wound around the camshaft 11 and a crankshaft (not shown) of the engine 30 so that the camshaft 11 can be rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the crankshaft. When the camshaft 11 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the crankshaft, the rocker arm 12 is pressed by the cam crest 11b of the cam portion 11a and moves downward. By moving the rocker arm 12 downward, the intake valve 14 is pressed in the valve opening direction and can be opened against the urging force of the valve spring 10. That is, the cam portion 11a opens the intake valve 14 by driving the intake valve 14 toward the inside of the cylinder against the urging force of the valve spring 10 via the rocker arm 12 as a valve opening / closing component. .

  Here, when the opening / closing components of the intake valve 14 such as the rocker arm 12 and the lash adjuster 13 are attached and detached, the cam portion 11a and the rocker arm 12 must be separated from each other. Therefore, for example, there is a method of separating the cam portion 11a and the rocker arm 12 by pressing the valve spring 10 in the valve opening direction of the intake valve 14 and compressing it. Conventionally, as a jig that presses and compresses the valve spring 10 in the valve opening direction of the intake valve 14, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a portion that contacts the valve (in the example of FIG. 10). , The L-shaped contact portion 106a) is integrated with the main body of the jig (such as the arm 106b in the example of FIG. 10). For this reason, the jig may not be set when there is not enough space.

  In recent engines 30, space saving is progressing. For this reason, the space between the rocker arm 12 and the wall surface 9a of the cylinder head 9 is small, and there is a possibility that a space for performing an operation for setting a jig or pushing down the valve spring 10 may not be secured.

  In the attaching / detaching jig 20 of the present embodiment, first, a pressing plate (pressing member) 7 is set at an end portion of the valve spring 10 in a compressed state in the valve closing direction of the intake valve 14. The holding plate 7 is inserted into the gap between the valve spring 10 and the rocker arm 12 and is in contact with the end of the valve spring 10. Next, the presser bar 5 is brought into contact with the upper part of the presser plate 7 in order to restrict the movement of the presser plate 7 in the valve closing direction of the intake valve 14. The presser bar 5 is supported by the connecting shaft 1 attached to the cylinder head 9, and can restrict the movement of the presser plate 7 in the valve closing direction against the urging force of the valve spring 10. Thereby, the valve spring 10 can be held in a contracted state, and the rocker arm 12 can be removed.

  The holding plate 7 to be brought into contact with the valve spring 10 is separated from other elements constituting the attaching / detaching jig 20. For this reason, even if the working space is small, the holding plate 7 can be set on the valve spring 10.

  In the valve opening / closing component attaching / detaching method using the attaching / detaching jig 20 of the present embodiment, a space necessary for setting the holding plate 7, which is an independent member, to the valve spring 10, and the opening / closing of the holding bar 5 for opening and closing the intake valve 14. If a space necessary for contacting the pressing plate 7 along the direction can be secured, the attaching / detaching jig 20 can be set. For this reason, even if the space around the valve opening and closing parts such as the rocker arm 12 is small and the pressing plate 7 and the pressing bar 5 are integrated, it is easy to attach and detach the jig even if it is difficult to set the jig. The jig 20 can be set and the rocker arm 12 and the lash adjuster 13 can be attached and detached.

  With reference to FIG. 2, the structure of the attaching / detaching jig 20 will be described.

  The connecting shaft 1 is a rod-shaped member having a circular cross section. As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting shaft 1 is attached to the cylinder head 9 via a connecting shaft holder 2 and a spacer 3. The connecting shaft 1 is positioned so that the longitudinal direction of the connecting shaft 1 is along the direction in which the cylinders of the engine 30 are aligned, and the connecting shaft 1 is positioned approximately on the extension line in the valve closing direction of the shaft portion 14 a of the intake valve 14. It is attached to the cylinder head 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting shaft holder 2 is provided with a bolt hole 2 a for passing a fixing bolt 4 for fixing the connecting shaft holder 2 to the cylinder head 9. Further, the connecting shaft holder 2 is provided with a bearing portion 2b for allowing the connecting shaft 1 to pass therethrough. The mounting height of the connecting shaft holder 2 is adjusted by a cylindrical spacer 3 disposed between the connecting shaft holder 2 and the cylinder head 9.

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a pressing bar holder for holding a pressing bar 5 described later. The presser bar holder 6 is attached so as to be movable in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 1 and slidable around the connecting shaft 1. The presser bar holder 6 is provided with a bearing part 6 a for passing the connecting shaft 1 and a screw hole part 6 b for holding the presser bar 5. The bearing portion 6a and the screw hole portion 6b are arranged so that the axial directions of both are orthogonal to each other. By inserting the bearing portion 6 a into the connecting rod 1 attached to the cylinder head 9, the holding rod holder 6 is supported by the connecting shaft 1.

  The holding bar 5 is provided with a large-diameter portion 5a on the proximal end side and a small-diameter portion 5b on the distal end side. The large-diameter portion 5a and the small-diameter portion 5b each have a circular cross-sectional shape, and the small-diameter portion 5b is formed with a smaller diameter than the large-diameter portion 5a. Screw portions 5c and 5d are provided on the outer peripheral portions of the large diameter portion 5a and the small diameter portion 5b, respectively. A threaded portion 6 c having the same diameter as the threaded portion 5 c provided on the large-diameter portion 5 a of the presser bar 5 is provided on the inner peripheral portion of the screw hole portion 6 b of the presser bar holder 6. The nut (contact member) 8 is for adjusting the effective length of the presser bar 5. The nut 8 has a screw hole corresponding to the screw portion 5d of the small diameter portion 5b. When the small diameter portion 5 b is screwed into the nut 8, the nut 8 is set on the presser bar 5. By adjusting the screwing amount of the small diameter portion 5b, the length (effective length) of the presser bar 5 protruding from the nut 8 is adjusted.

  The holding plate 7 is formed in a plate shape. The holding plate 7 is provided with an insertion hole 7a for passing the small diameter portion 5b of the holding bar 5 and two substantially semicircular cutout portions 7b. The distance between the centers of the two notches 7b is set to a value equal to the distance between two adjacent intake valves 14 of one cylinder. By the pressing plate 7, both valve springs 10 of the two adjacent intake valves 14 can be pressed simultaneously.

  FIG. 3 is a view for explaining a state in which the pressing plate 7 is set between the rocker arm 12 and the valve spring 10. A retainer 10a is provided at an end portion (upper end portion) of the valve spring 10 in the valve closing direction of the intake valve 14. The thickness in the vicinity of the notch 7b in the pressing plate 7 is set to a smaller value than the thickness of the portion other than the vicinity of the notch 7b. The thickness of the pressing plate 7 is formed such that the thickness t1 of the portion along the notch portion 7b is the smallest and increases as the distance from the notch portion 7b increases. The thickness of the part away from the notch 7b by a predetermined distance or more is set to a constant value t0.

  FIG. 4A is a view taken in the direction of arrow B in FIG. In the vicinity of the notch portion 7b on the upper surface 7d of the pressing plate 7, a concave portion 7f formed in a downward concave shape is provided. The concave portion 7f is formed so that the depth becomes deeper toward the notch portion 7b. That is, the vicinity of the notch 7b on the upper surface 7d of the presser plate 7 is formed in a tapered shape that goes downward as it goes to the notch 7b. Unlike the upper surface 7d, the lower surface 7e of the pressing plate 7 is formed in a flat shape without unevenness.

  In addition, instead of the tapered concave portion 7f shown in FIG. 4A, the concave portion 7g having a uniform depth as shown in FIG. 4B is in the vicinity of the notch portion 7b on the upper surface 7d of the pressing plate 7. May be provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the thickness t <b> 1 of the portion along the notch 7 b in the pressing plate 7 is set to a value smaller than the distance L between the rocker arm 12 and the retainer 10 a of the valve spring 10. When the pressing plate 7 is inserted into the gap between the rocker arm 12 and the valve spring 10, first, the remaining portion of the pressing plate 7 can be easily inserted into the gap by inserting the notch portion 7b into the gap. it can. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the pressing plate 7 can abut on the upper end portion of the valve spring 10 while being inserted into the gap between the rocker arm 12 and the valve spring 10.

  Since the vicinity of the notch 7b is thin, the pressing plate 7 can be easily set as compared to the case where the thickness of the pressing plate 7 is uniform. Thereby, compared with the case where the thickness of the pressing plate 7 is made uniform, thickness t0 other than the vicinity of the notch part 7b can be made into a larger value, without reducing the ease of setting. . For example, the thickness t0 of the holding plate 7 other than the vicinity of the notch 7b can be set to a value larger than the distance L between the rocker arm 12 and the retainer 10a of the valve spring 10. By setting the thickness t0 of the pressing plate 7 other than the vicinity of the notch 7b to a large value, the strength of the pressing plate 7 can be improved.

  Note that the thickness t0 of the pressing plate 7 may be uniform without making the vicinity of the notch 7b thin. In this case, in order to make it easier to set the pressing plate 7, it is desirable that the thickness t 0 of the pressing plate 7 is set to be equal to or less than the distance L between the rocker arm 12 and the retainer 10 a of the valve spring 10.

  FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the holding plate 7 is set between the rocker arm 12 and the valve spring 10. As shown in FIG. 5, the depth D of the notch portion 7 b of the pressing plate 7 is set to a value larger than the radius r of the shaft portion 14 a of the intake valve 14. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, the presser plate 7 is connected to the rocker arm 12 and the valve so that the end 7 c of the presser plate 7 where the notch 7 b is provided reaches deeper than the center of the shaft portion 14 a of the intake valve 14. It can be inserted into the gap between the springs 10. Thereby, the area A of the part which the press plate 7 contact | abuts with the retainer 10a of the valve spring 10 can be enlarged. By increasing the area A of the abutting portion, it is possible to apply a downward force, that is, a force in the valve opening direction of the intake valve 14 to the upper end surface of the retainer 10a without being partially biased. It becomes.

  In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 4, although the vicinity of the notch portion 7 b in the pressing plate 7 is thin, the lower surface 7 e that is a surface on the side in contact with the retainer 10 a is formed flat. Yes. Therefore, by reducing the thickness in the vicinity of the notch portion 7b, the area A of the portion where the pressing plate 7 contacts the retainer 10a is not reduced, and the area A can be made sufficiently large.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6 to FIG. 9, a method of using the attaching / detaching jig 20 and a work procedure will be described by taking as an example a case where the lash adjuster 13 is replaced. In the present embodiment, the part other than the pressing plate 7 in the attaching / detaching jig 20 functions as a regulating means.

(Removing the head cover)
First, the head cover (not shown) of the engine 30 and its accompanying parts are removed, and the attachment of the attachment / detachment jig 20 is started after the camshaft 11 and the like are exposed.

(Jig installation)
As shown in FIG. 6, the connecting shaft holder 2 is attached to the cylinder head 9. A screw hole 17 corresponding to the fixing bolt 4 is provided at the upper end portion of the cylinder head 9. The connecting shaft holder 2 is fastened to the cylinder head 9 by fixing bolts 4 that are screwed into the screw holes 17 through the bolt holes 2 a of the connecting shaft holder 2. The mounting height of the connecting shaft holder 2 is adjusted by the spacer 3 disposed between the connecting shaft holder 2 and the cylinder head 9. When the connecting shaft holder 2 is attached to the cylinder head 9, for example, the plurality of connecting shaft holders 2 are arranged along the direction in which the cylinders of the engine 30 are arranged.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the connecting shaft 1 is passed through the bearing portion 2 b of each connecting shaft holder 2. Thereby, the connecting shaft 1 is supported by the connecting shaft holder 2. Further, when the connecting shaft 1 is passed through the bearing portion 2 b of the connecting shaft holder 2, the bearing portion 6 a of the presser bar holder 6 is inserted into the connecting shaft 1. As a result, the presser bar holder 6 can freely move in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 1, that is, in the direction in which the cylinders of the engine 30 are arranged. The presser bar holder 6 is slidably supported on the connecting shaft 1 and can rotate around the connecting shaft 1.

(Pressing down the valve spring)
Next, the camshaft 11 (or crankshaft) is rotated with a predetermined tool (see reference numeral Y1), and the position of the camshaft 11 is set so that the valve spring 10 is maximally compressed by the cam crest 11b of the cam portion 11a. Adjust. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the valve spring 10 is compressed to the maximum.

  Here, the presser plate 7 is inserted and set between the upper end surface of the valve spring 10 and the rocker arm 12. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper surface of the retainer 10 a of the valve spring 10 can be pressed by the lower surface of the pressing plate 7 (the surface in the valve opening direction of the intake valve 14). As described with reference to FIG. 2, the holding plate 7 is formed in a shape that can be simultaneously set in each of two adjacent intake valves 14 of one cylinder.

(Presser bar set)
Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the pressing bar 5 is passed through the screw hole 6 b of the pressing bar holder 6 in the direction toward the pressing plate 7. That is, the presser bar 5 is inserted into the screw hole 6b of the presser bar holder 6 so that the small diameter part 5b of the presser bar 5 is closer to the presser plate 7 than the large diameter part 5a. When the presser bar 5 is inserted into the screw hole 6b, the small diameter part 5b of the presser bar 5 is next screwed into the nut 8, and the nut 8 is set in the small diameter part 5b. At this time, the screw portion 5d of the small diameter portion 5b is screwed into the nut 8 so that the tip end portion of the small diameter portion 5b protrudes toward the holding plate 7 rather than the nut 8.

  Next, the nut 8 set on the presser bar 5 is brought into contact with the presser plate 7 to restrict the extension of the valve spring 10. First, the threaded portion 5 c of the large diameter portion 5 a is screwed into the threaded hole portion 6 b of the retaining rod holder 6 while passing the tip of the small diameter portion 5 b of the retaining rod 5 through the insertion hole 7 a of the retaining plate 7. Thereafter, the screwing amount of the screw portion 5c into the screw hole portion 6b and the screwing amount of the screw portion 5d into the nut 8 are adjusted so that the nut 8 comes into contact with the holding plate 7. Thereby, the presser plate 7 is integrated with the presser bar holder 6 through the nut 8 and the presser bar 5. The position adjusting means of the present embodiment includes a screw portion 5c and a screw hole portion 6b, a screw portion 5d and a nut 8.

  FIG. 8 shows a state in which the nut 8 is in contact with the holding plate 7. In this state, since the pressing plate 7 is pressed by the pressing bar 5 and the nut 8, it cannot move in the valve closing direction of the intake valve 14. Therefore, even if the valve spring 10 tries to extend in the valve closing direction of the intake valve 14, the extension is suppressed by being pressed by the pressing plate 7. In other words, the valve spring 10 can be held in a contracted state than when the intake valve 14 is fully closed.

(Replacement work of rocker arm and lash adjuster)
The replacement operation of the rocker arm 12 and the lash adjuster 13 is performed in a state where the extension of the valve spring 10 is suppressed by the attaching / detaching jig 20.

  First, the camshaft 11 is rotated as indicated by reference numeral Y2 in FIG. As a result, the cam crest 11b of the cam portion 11a moves in a direction to reduce the opening degree of the intake valve 14 from a position where the valve spring 10 is fully compressed and the intake valve 14 is fully opened. At this time, since the extension of the valve spring 10 is suppressed by the attaching / detaching jig 20, the urging force of the valve spring 10 does not act on the rocker arm 12. Therefore, the rocker arm 12 does not move in the direction of the cam portion 11a, and the cam portion 11a and the rocker arm 12 are separated from each other.

  Further, by rotating the camshaft 11, the cam crest 11b can be moved away from the rocker arm 12, and a gap can be created between the cam portion 11a and the rocker arm 12 as indicated by reference numeral S.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the generated clearance S can be used to remove the rocker arm 12 and then remove the lash adjuster 13. Next, the replacement lash adjuster 13 is set on the cylinder head 9 and then the rocker arm 12 is set.

(Removal of attachment / detachment jig)
When the setting of the rocker arm 12 is completed, the camshaft 11 is rotated in the direction opposite to the direction indicated by Y2 in FIG. 8 to move the cam crest 11b to a position where it comes into contact with the rocker arm 12. Next, the presser bar 5 is rotated about the axis in a loosening direction to move the presser bar 5 upward, and the nut 8 is separated from the presser plate 7. Thereafter, the attaching / detaching jig 20 is removed in the reverse order of setting. That is, the presser plate 7 is removed from between the rocker arm 12 and the valve spring 10, the nut 8 is removed from the small diameter portion 5 b of the presser bar 5, and the presser bar 5 is removed from the presser bar holder 6. When the lash adjuster 13 is replaced in the intake valve 14 of another adjacent cylinder, the replacement work of the lash adjuster 13 of another cylinder is immediately performed only by moving the holding rod holder 6 in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 1. Can start.

  Since the attaching / detaching jig 20 of the present embodiment is a divided type composed of a plurality of components, each component including the pressing plate 7 can be reduced in size. Therefore, even when the space around the camshaft 11 and the rocker arm 12 is narrow, the attaching / detaching jig 20 can be easily set. For example, since the presser bar 5 is independent of other parts, the nut 8 set on the presser bar 5 can be held by the presser plate 7 as long as there is enough space to move the presser bar 5 in the opening / closing direction of the intake valve 14. It is possible to perform an operation of abutting on the surface.

  Furthermore, since the attaching / detaching jig 20 is a split type, it is easy to correspond to different types of engines 30. If a plurality of holding plates 7 having different sizes are prepared in advance, the other components can be shared as they are only by selecting the optimum holding plate 7 according to the engine 30.

  Further, in the working method using the attaching / detaching jig 20 of the present embodiment, the valve spring 10 is compressed and compressed by the cam spring 11b of the cam portion 11a via the rocker arm 12 without using the jig or the like. 10 is performed by the method of pressing. Therefore, the valve spring 10 can be compressed within the same stroke range as when the engine 30 is operating. For example, when the valve spring 10 is manually compressed using a jig, the amount to be compressed is excessive, and the valve spring 10 may be compressed beyond the normal stroke range. On the contrary, there is a possibility that the working space is insufficient and the valve spring 10 cannot be sufficiently compressed and the lash adjuster 13 cannot be attached or detached. In the present embodiment, the valve spring 10 can be compressed as much as necessary to replace the lash adjuster 13 without excessively or excessively reducing the amount by which the valve spring 10 is compressed.

  Further, when the valve spring 10 is manually compressed using a jig, a force cannot be correctly applied in the axial direction of the intake valve 14, and a force perpendicular to the opening / closing direction of the intake valve 14, that is, a lateral force is applied. There is a possibility of adding to the shaft portion 14 a of the intake valve 14.

  In contrast, in the present embodiment, the intake valve 14 is pressed in the valve opening direction by the rocker arm 12 and the valve spring 10 is compressed, so that a lateral force is applied to the shaft portion 14 a of the intake valve 14. There is no end. Furthermore, the valve spring 10 can be easily brought into the most compressed state within the range of the normal stroke. The valve spring 10 is held by the attaching / detaching jig 20 in the most compressed state within the range of the normal stroke, so that a sufficient clearance S is secured between the rocker arm 12 and the cam portion 11a. 12 and the lash adjuster 13 can be attached and detached.

  Further, since the attaching / detaching jig 20 does not compress the valve spring 10 only by restricting the expansion of the compressed valve spring 10, the stress is not exerted on the valve spring 10, the intake valve 14, or the like. The rocker arm 12 and the lash adjuster 13 can be attached and detached.

  As described above, the holding plate 7 of the present embodiment has a shape capable of simultaneously holding the valve springs 10 of the two adjacent intake valves 14 provided in one cylinder. Therefore, the lash adjusters 13 of the two intake valves 14 can be exchanged only by setting the attaching / detaching jig 20 once.

  Furthermore, after the connecting shaft 1 is once attached to the engine 30 by the connecting shaft holder 2, the lash adjusters 13 of a plurality of cylinders can be replaced without removing the connecting shaft 1. For example, the same number of press rod holders 6 as the number of cylinders of the engine 30 are set on the connecting shaft 1 in advance when the connecting shaft 1 is attached, so that the lash adjuster 13 of each cylinder can be replaced continuously. can do. Alternatively, the lash adjusters 13 of a plurality of cylinders may be replaced with one press rod holder 6. In this case, every time the replacement operation of the lash adjuster 13 of one cylinder is completed, the presser bar holder 6 may be slid in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 1 and moved to the position of the cylinder to be replaced next.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the valve opening / closing component attached / detached by the attaching / detaching jig 20 is the valve opening / closing component of the intake valve 14 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the attaching / detaching jig 20 can be used to attach / detach the valve opening / closing component of the exhaust valve.

  In this embodiment, the valve opening / closing components to be attached and detached are the rocker arm 12 and the lash adjuster 13, but the valve opening / closing components are not limited to this. The attachment / detachment jig 20 can also be used when the valve opening / closing component provided between the cam portion 11 a and the intake valve 14 is a component other than the rocker arm 12 and the lash adjuster 13. When there are many types of valve opening / closing components or when the configuration of the valve opening / closing components is complicated, the space around the valve opening / closing components is narrow, and the portion that contacts the valve spring 10 is integral with the main body of the jig. Even if it cannot be set, the mounting / demounting jig 20 of this embodiment can be set.

  In the present embodiment, the connecting shaft 1 is attached to the cylinder head 9 of the engine 30, but the attachment location of the connecting shaft 1 is not limited to this. For example, the connecting shaft 1 may be attached to the vehicle body of the vehicle on which the engine 30 is mounted.
