Background technique
As a rule, according to the quartastroke engine of Otto cycle and diesel cycle operation within it portion have at least two rotating axles, that is: the bent axle that is connected with piston/link assembly rotatingshaft in other words and is camshaft or the rotatable shaft that 1: 2 the method for synchronization links to each other with this bent axle with the angular velocity ratio.
Motor with conventional construction has formed a lot of years, and camshaft is positioned on the cylinder body, the side of bent axle, and because the close bent axle of camshaft, so the driving of camshaft is subjected to the influence of a pair of gear or gimmal.In general, this driving is carried out in cylinder interior, perhaps this chain/gear and external isolation at least, thus any end of camshaft can not stretched out from engine cylinder-body.Therefore, the leakage of lubricant oil is also uncorrelated therewith in this zone.
In this respect, as a rule, the motor that moves according to diesel cycle has the camshaft that is positioned on the cylinder body, and by crank-driven, this chain also drives fuel oil injectionpump to this camshaft by chain.This chain is arranged in suitable chamber, and this chamber housing has engine lubricating oil, is used to guarantee the suitable operation of motor.
However, can draw such conclusion, promptly owing to the minimizing of detachable block quantity, camshaft is positioned at engine head can bring higher efficient to motor.
Camshaft is positioned at engine head makes and to utilize the method for gear drive camshaft unworkable that this mainly is because the distance problem between camshaft and the bent axle.Therefore, be necessary to use chain or rubber cam to bring drive cam shaft.
In these systems each all has its merits and demerits, and the great advantage of rubber cam band is low-cost and quiet operation.Yet, when with for example be grease, when the petroleum derivative of lubricant oil and fuel oil (gasoline or diesel oil) and so on contacted, can greatly reduce its working life.
On the contrary, use chain also can have quiet operation, working life (with consequent reliability) is more than the cam belt length, although the cost of chain is higher and very high to lubricated requirement.
Therefore, the cam of motor by the chain-drive situation under, stable lubricated be necessary, motor preferably uses same lubricant oil; Otherwise will reduce greatly the working life of this driving and motion chain.
But in the regions of lubrication of chain drive-belt, it is very necessary that there is not any leakage in motor, is the seal washer that utilizes plastic materials or polymeric material in the past, perhaps uses sealer to realize.Yet, although it is gratifying adopting the effect of above-mentioned these parts, but, when being carried out maintenance work, they need be taken apart by motor (for example when dismounting engine timing case, chain is positioned at this timing case), in assembling process again, the margin of error that causes oil leak is very important, this can cause carrying out maintenance service again, otherwise motor can constantly leak.
Obviously, except causing that the client is discontented, also can produce economic loss owing to carry out maintenance service again.
Unfortunately, also do not develop such four stroke engine, particularly according to the motor of diesel cycle work, this motor has the device that prevents that the oil leab of lubricant oil by the timing case from leaking out from motor, the chain drive-belt of camshaft is positioned at the timing case, this device can bring and prevent oil leak and the effect that is easy to mount and dismount, and can obtain good sealing more like a dream.

No matter which kind of motor motor 1 is, as a rule, with respect to the combination of engine structure and inner member thereof, no matter fix or movable member, for example piston, connecting rod, bent axle, valve or the like, this motor all must comprise engine head 21.
In addition, motor 1 comprises an axle 3 that rotates at least in housing 2, thereby can make engine running.This can be bent axle, camshaft or the jack shaft of parts around driving, or the axle that must or need on any other motor.No matter which kind of axle this axle is, it all has a free end 3 ' that is used to connect pulley or gear, and this pulley or gear are used for transmitting or accepting angular motion, for example can be toothed pulleys.
In order to make axle 3 appropriate location, will mainly consider the free end 3 ' of axle 3, housing 2 has at least one through hole 2 '.
For most of internal-combustion engines according to diesel cycle and Otto cycle operation, motor body 2 comprises engine cylinder-body 20, this engine cylinder-body 20 has the chamber (also being cylinder) that is used to hold piston, is used to make the oil duct that lubricant oil flows and is used to the passage that makes cooling fluid mobile as a rule.Shown in this specification Fig. 1 is engine cylinder-body.
This internal-combustion engine comprises the engine head 21 that at least one is connected with cylinder body 20, and this engine head 21 is parts of Fig. 2,3,5,6,7,8,9 middle shells 2, and in general comprises (not shown) such as engine valve, rocking arm.
Therefore, term " motor body " typically refers to engine cylinder-body and/or head.
In the preferred embodiment, motor 1 comprises the engine head 21 with through hole 2 ', and this through hole 2 ' is used for the free end 3 ' of positioning cam axle 3, extends thereby this free end 3 ' can pass first through hole 2 '.
Clearly, through hole 2 ' can have any shape essential or that need, for example is cylindrical hole or part-annular breach etc.
In order to make motor 1 operation, need the device of drive cam shaft 3, this device should be synchronized with the movement with the bent axle (not shown), and its angular velocity is half of angular velocity of crankshaft.In order to reach this purpose, under any circumstance, these drive units have to prevent bent axle and camshaft 3 or the slip between another.
Adopt metal to distribute chain (among Fig. 2 and 7 shown in the reference character 41) in the preferred embodiment, if carry out proper lubrication, this metal distributes chain except having long working life, and motor is undisturbedly moved.Because these features and their high reliability and long working life (both are mutually related), the preferred employing distributed chain in to the new design of motor, and makes camshaft on engine head.But obviously, also can adopt rubber cam band, gear or any other driver part.
For to distributing chain 41 to carry out proper lubrication, and guarantee its serviceability and quiet operation, preferably adopt same engine lubricating oil, for this lubricant oil of this purpose by the oil leab water conservancy diversion.Like this, eliminate the needs that distribute the special and lubricant agent special that chain uses, thereby reduced manufacturing and the maintenance cost of motor.Can explain in more detail this point below.
In order to make motor 1 operation, bent axle comprises driving uses toothed pulley, this toothed pulley to make the bent axle can chain drive-belt and drive cam shaft 3 correspondingly, and, camshaft 3 also has at its free end 3 ' and drives with toothed pulley 30, and this can find out from Fig. 2,7 and 8.
In order to protect chain 41 not influenced by external factor; and guarantee to come the also not loss of lubricant oil of lubricating engine from motor; motor 1 comprises the chamber 4 that is used to locate chain, hereinafter is called the timing case, and chamber 4 preferably is connected with engine cylinder-body 20 with engine head 21.Yet, also have the timing case only to be fixed on engine cylinder-body 20 or only be fixed on motor on the engine head 21.
The structure of timing case 4 makes it have the device that will himself be fixed on engine cylinder-body 20 and/or the engine head 21, this device comprises second through hole 4 ', this second through hole 4 ' allows the free end 3 ' of camshaft 3 to pass, this device has at least one third through-hole 4 in addition "; this third through-hole 4 " can allow the free end of bent axle pass, also promptly, toothed pulley separately is arranged in this third through-hole 4 ".In order to be positioned properly chain, the structure of timing case has chamber 40.Timing case 4 also has a protective cover (not shown).
For the preferred embodiment of the motor of the disclosure, second through hole 4 ' has circular basically shape, but clearly, it also can have any shape that other must or need, and for example is cylindrical hole, part-annular groove or any other shape.
For the motor in the preferred embodiment of the present invention 1, timing case 4, still clearly, also can adopt any other fixing device, even also timing case 4 can be fixed on the engine head 21 to engine cylinder-body 20 by bolt.
But, as selectable way, also can provide a kind of according to motor 1 of the present invention, wherein through hole 2 ' is positioned on the engine cylinder-body 20, just as those have the motor of the camshaft 3 that is positioned on the engine cylinder-body.In addition, also can provide a kind of motor 1, wherein utilize existing through hole to come appropriate location other axle rather than camshaft 3, for example always be positioned at the bent axle on the engine cylinder-body 20.Adopt the timing case 4 of the motor of this configuration to have special geometrical construction, can be so that the motor proper functioning, but these timing casees 4 are at the conceptive casing 4 that discloses later that is equal to.
As mentioned above, engine lubricating oil is used for suitably distribution chain 41 being lubricated, thereby guarantees its serviceability and quietly running.
At first, lubricant oil is by first through hole 2 ' of engine head 2, and second through hole 4 ' by timing case 4 arrives chain 41 then.Clearly, the free end 3 ' at camshaft 3 does not provide the oiling agent holding device of any kind that above-mentioned lubricant oil is flowed.Should flow and from Fig. 7 and 9, to find out that wherein white arrow was represented lubricant oil.
To after distributing chain 41 and each toothed pulley to be lubricated, lubricant oil is by third through-hole 4 " or any other through hole turn back to oil pan (fuel tank is not shown).
But,, press for engine lubricating oil and do not leak when engine lubricating oil during by first and second through holes 2 ', 4 '.In the motor of prior art, the seal washer of making by polymeric material or by using sealer to solve this problem, although this measure is effective for the motor that newly comes into operation, but along with the time of using motor increases, especially when the maintaining motor, if because of very important, or even the mechanic's that may often occur reason, and do not have suitable location seal washer or not do not apply the sealer of q.s in abundant position, above-mentioned measure will end with very weak effect.Therefore, if oil leak occurred in this zone, mechanic's maintenance service of just having to carry out again.
In order to prevent to occur leaking sign during by first and second through holes 2 ', 4 ', provide a kind of black box 5 at lubricant oil.Preferably, this assembly 5 is fixed on the timing case 4 and is positioned at second through hole 4 ', and outstanding towards engine head 21.
When the timing case 4 that is used for the positioning shaft drive unit was connected on engine cylinder-body 20 and the engine head 21, black box 5 provided the sealing between first and second through holes 2 ', 4 '.Even timing case 4 and not alignment of engine head 21, this assembly 5 also can be guaranteed sealing.
Assembly 5 comprises it being the body 50 of cylinder form basically, and body 50 has through hole (free end 3 ' of camshaft 3 is positioned at wherein), and seal element 51 is connected on the through hole, and seal element 51 preferably is the form of O shape elastic ring basically.When timing case 4 and engine head 21 do not align, because O shape ring and various manufacturing tolerances have been guaranteed above-mentioned sealing.
Body 50 is rigidly connected in the zone of second through hole 4 ' with timing case 4, and preferred mode is to connect by three fixing bolts that are in 120 ° of arrangements.But clearly, also can fix with any other device, also can casing 4 other the zone rather than second through hole 4 ' near be connected.In addition, clearly, body 50 also can be fixed on the engine head 21 in the zone of first through hole 2 '.
In order to make black box 5 proper functioning, should allow lubricant oil to flow to timing case 4 (by first and second through holes 2 ', 4 ') from engine head 21, in order to reach this purpose, the diameter of the through hole of body 50 should be bigger a little than the diameter of the free end 3 ' of camshaft 3, can form the annular pass 52 that makes lubricant oil mobile like this.
When being fixed on the motor, timing case 4 (preferably is fixed on the engine cylinder-body 20), elastic ring 51 is compressed and is resisted against on the head 21, and the distortion of this mode can prevent to appear at the oil leak in the space between first and second through holes 2 ', 4 '.Can from Fig. 6 and 7, see the details that black box 5 is installed.
Body 50 is preferably made by No. 1010 steel, points out that this point is very important, and body does not produce deformation when being compressed like this, guarantees to have only seal ring 51 to produce compression, so always can provide suitable sealing.
Because 5 of black boies are fixed on the timing case 4, and because by making elastic ring 51 compression/deformation realize sealing between first and second through holes 2 ', 4 ', therefore when needing repairing motor, dismounting and assembling casing 4 become easily, do not reach suitable sealing again and do not need to adjust assembly 5.
When timing case 4 being reinstalled on engine cylinder-body 20 and the engine head 21, two kinds of situations may take place.
First kind of situation if black box 5 keeps good shape, that is to say that if seal ring 51 does not have sizable permanent set, as long as can guarantee excellent sealing, the timing case just can fit together once more with same assembly 5.Because casing is securely fixed on cylinder body 20 and the head 21 with bolt,, seal ring 51 guarantees sealing thereby being gradually reduced.
Second kind of situation if black box 5 does not keep good state (for example, permanent deformation has taken place seal ring, is unfavorable for whole sealing like this), just should be changed it, timing case 4 can be installed on the engine cylinder-body 20 then.
In addition, can provide a kind of black box 5, wherein seal ring 51 can be replaced by body 50 separately.
As mentioned above, black box can be fixed on the head 21, seal ring 51 is compressed and is resisted against on the timing case then and since the timing case by bolt on engine cylinder-body and engine head 20,21, this for the sealing and the dismounting easiness have same effect.
Clearly, the shape of body 50 can change, and mainly is the variation owing to second through hole, 4 ' shape, and seal element 51 also can be other shape outside the O shape ring in addition.
Should further be pointed out that,,, in the dependent claims they done further qualification as invention because black box 5 has novelty and creativeness.
Black box 5 can have the characteristics of body 50 and seal element 51, after deliberation the function that realizes of the concrete structure of this motor, the protection domain that each claim limits has illustrated various modification of the present invention.
In addition, the motor 1 that has more than a black box can also be provided, for example, motor have be used for sealed cam axle 3 (if motor have a plurality of camshafts also can) first black box 5 of through hole, be used to seal second black box 5 of the through hole of bent axle, motor also can have a plurality of black boies 5 of the through hole that is used to seal other different axle, for example around the jackshaft of parts.
Motor 1 of the present invention is compared with the motor of prior art has the advantage shown in the following round dot:
Guarantee engine lubricating oil lubricated to chain, prevent by first and second through holes 2 ', 4 ' oil leak;
Convenient maintenance to motor need not adjusted assembly 5 in order to ensure desirable sealing, and this is because assembly 5 can seal automatically; For this purpose, timing case 4 can be fixed on the engine cylinder-body 20 suitably;
Reduce manufacture cost, the installation of black box 5 is carried out easily;
Even timing case 4 and not alignment of head 21 also can be guaranteed sealing.
Although described preferred embodiment at this, should be understood that scope of the present invention also comprises the modification that other is possible, only the content by the dependent claims that comprises possible equivalent limits.
