Contrast accompanying drawing below, by description, the effect of the mutual alignment between the shape of the specific embodiment of the present invention such as related each member, structure, the each several part and annexation, each several part and working principle etc. are described in further detail embodiment:
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention is a kind of continuous variable air valve lift apparatus, comprises rocking arm 1, camshaft 8, cam 9, valve 12, described continuous variable air valve lift apparatus also comprises rocking arm arc groove 1a, pivot 2, roller 3, bearing pin 4, slide bar 5, control arm 7, worm screw 10, stepper motor 11, described rocking arm 1 is sleeved on the pivot 2, and roller 3 contacts with rocking arm 1 surface, and roller 3 is by connecting with the slide bar 5 of its surperficial bearing pin 4 that is connected, described control arm 7 one ends are slideway 7a, the other end is worm gear 7b, the slideway 7a suit of slide bar 5 and hollow-core construction, and worm gear 7b is toothed structure, worm gear 7b is connected with worm screw 10, and worm screw 10 is by stepper motor 11 controls.
But be set to the bascule of reciprocally swinging between described rocking arm 1 and the pivot 2, described rocking arm arc groove 1a is arranged on the surface of rocking arm 1 bottom, and described roller 3 contacts with rocking arm arc groove 1a.
The circular arc center of circle of circular groove 1a on the described rocking arm 1 is set to the structure concentric with the basic circle of cam 9.
The described slide bar 5 that is connected by bearing pin 4 with roller 3 is set to be between between the two the side structure of H type, and described slide bar 5 is set to rectangular structure with an end of slideway 7a suit, and described slideway 7a is set to the structure that cooperates with slide bar 5 outer surfaces.
The worm gear 7b center of described control arm 7 is coaxial with camshaft 8 centers, but motion independently of one another does not have interaction relation, and control arm 7 can be arranged on (not shown) on the bearing cap of camshaft 8 or the cylinder cap; Described cam 9 is arranged on the camshaft 8.
The worm gear 7b of described control arm 7 is set to the disc structure that the edge sets out teeth.
Between described slide bar 5 and the slideway 7a spring 6 is set.
Described stepper motor 11 is controlled by Engine ECU.
The present invention also provides a kind of controlling method of continuous variable air valve lift apparatus, and the controlling method of described continuous variable air valve lift apparatus is:
A) described Engine ECU control step motor 11, stepper motor drive worm screw 10 and rotate;
B) the worm gear 7b on the described worm screw 10 drive control arms 7 rotates around rotating center, and then drive roller 3 moves around the center of camshaft 8 along rocking arm groove 1a;
C) after described roller 3 moved along rocking arm groove 1a, the position of roller 3 relative rocking arm groove 1a changed continuously, causes the continuous variation of swing arm pivot shaft 2 both sides rocking arm ratios, and then valve lift is changed continuously.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, cam 9 is fixedly mounted on the camshaft 8; Control arm 7 is made up of two-part structure, slideway 7a and worm gear 7b, and control arm 7 rotating centers are coaxial with the camshaft center line, but motion independently of one another does not have interaction relation.Rocking arm 1 rotation is supported on the pivot 2, and rocking arm 1 can be done reciprocally swinging around pivot 2; Roller 3 is supported on the slide bar 5 by bearing pin 4 rotations, slide bar 5 is slidingly connected on the slide rail 7a of control arm 7, the structure of being made up of roller 3, bearing pin 4, slide bar 5 can be slided along the slideway 7a on the control arm 7 is whole under cam 9 drives like this, thereby roller 3 can drive rocking arm 1 around pivot 2 reciprocally swingings, and then driving valve 12 is opened, in order to guarantee that roller 3 reliably contacts all the time with cam 9, be provided with spring 6 between slide bar 5 and slideway 7a, closing by the valve spring (not shown) of valve 12 realizes.
Shown in accompanying drawing 3, the circular arc center of circle of the circular groove 1a on the rocking arm 1 is concentric with the basic circle of cam 9, and so no matter roller 3 Anywhere, can guarantee cam 9 relative rollers 3 when the basic circle position on rocking arm groove 1a, and valve all is a closed condition; Groove 1a is to roller 3 mobile playing the guiding role thereon simultaneously.
With reference to Fig. 5-Fig. 6, the action of stepper motor 11 is controlled by Engine ECU, and the worm gear 7b that drives on the control arm 7 by worm screw 10 rotates around rotating center, and then drive roller 3 moves around the center of camshaft 8 along rocking arm groove 1a.The position of roller 3 relative rocking arm groove 1a changes continuously, can cause the continuous variation of swing arm pivot shaft 2 both sides rocking arm ratios, and then valve lift is changed continuously, when the position of roller 3 on rocking arm groove 1a when the pivot 2, it is big that valve lift becomes, simultaneously since cam 9 for being rotated counterclockwise, postponed valve timing; Otherwise when the position of roller 3 on rocking arm groove 1a during away from pivot 2, valve lift diminishes, and valve timing is by in advance.
In addition, be applicable to roller 3 drive units of the present invention, be not limited only to above-mentioned stepper motor form.So long as the drive unit that roller 3 is moved around the basic circle center of circle of cam 8 just can extensively be suitable for.
Fig. 8 is the valve timing situation of expression valve lift when changing, as shown in the figure, and when the position of roller 3 on rocking arm groove 1a during near pivot 2, it is big that valve lift becomes, can postpone valve timing simultaneously, otherwise shift to an earlier date along with diminishing of valve lift valve timing valve timing.Therefore, when valve 12 is intake valve, can well adapt to the needs of engine operation, postpone the phase place valve timing when increasing valve lift.In addition, also can increase,, make valve timing in the optimum state to dynamically adjusting valve timing such as control mechanisms such as VVT.
In conjunction with the accompanying drawings the present invention has been carried out exemplary description above; obviously the concrete realization of the present invention is not subjected to the restriction of aforesaid way; as long as the various improvement of having adopted method design of the present invention and technological scheme to carry out; or design of the present invention and technological scheme are directly applied to other occasions without improving, all in protection scope of the present invention.
