Keep initial position constant on the axial direction of camshaft 111.
Mode of operation during the VVT drive device that the present invention is provided has two.
Mode of operation one:Oil mass and oil pressure do not change in both sides oil pocket 303 and 305 in holding sleeve 119.
The rotation direction of sprocket wheel 112 shown in reference picture 1, under when outer indexing pawl 120, oil pressure is acted in oil pocket 302 to the right
When end is mobile, outer indexing pawl 120 can only be slided to the right vertically under the guide effect of outer guide 121, and outer guide 121 is fixed
The opposing cam axle axial direction remains stationary on the inwall of shell 115.Outer indexing pawl 120 utilizes the indexing pawl and guide groove of itself
Structure promotes outer sliding pawl set 122 to be slided to right-hand member, because the guiding of the projection 501 on 122 inwalls of outer guide 121 and outer sliding pawl set is made
With, and outer guide 121 when being rotated by direction as shown on the inwall of shell 115 formed necessarily with wedge structure on outer sliding pawl set 122
Inertial force, promote the relatively outer indexing pawls 120 of outer sliding pawl set 122 not produce relative rotation.
Due to the guiding and position-limiting action of outer guide 121, when outer indexing pawl 120 is made with the inner fluid of oil pocket 302 is increased
Firmly lower promote is slided when pawl set 122 slides into the right extreme position as shown in figure 5, external spiral spring 123 is compressed to a fixed length
Degree.Now the lozenges of the right-hand member lozenges of outer guide 121 and outer sliding pawl set 122 just coincide, and outer guide 121 is in outer helical spring
123 elastic restoring force and shell 115 acts on lower quick sliding by covering 122 wedge shapes with outer sliding pawl with the inertia force of sprocket wheel 112
The crosspoint in face.It is quick in the case where the inner fluid pressure of oil pocket 302 is with Engine ECU control afterwards to reduce and its external spiral spring 123
Under the effect such as elastic restoring force, outer sliding pawl set 122 is counter to be pushed away outer indexing pawl 120 and is slided to left end, due to outer guide 121 and outer sliding pawl
The lozenges structure of set 122 promotes the relative outer guide 121 of outer sliding pawl set 122 to turn over certain circumferential angle in a circumferential direction.Cause
Outer guide 121 on the inwall of shell 115 keeps geo-stationary in a circumferential direction with outer indexing pawl 120, i.e., outer sliding pawl covers 122 phases
The rotation of opposite direction is produced to the synchronous axial system of shell 115, turning circumference angle is the single lozenges of outer sliding pawl set 122
Corresponding circumference arc.
Outer sliding pawl set 122 is to be limited on sleeve 119 to horizontally slip by the projection 501 on inwall, and in circumferencial direction
Synchronous with sleeve 119 all the time during rotation, now sleeve 119 can turn over corresponding circumference arc with 122 opposite shells 115 of outer sliding pawl set
Degree.Because both sides oil pocket 303 in sleeve 119 and oil pocket 305 keep relative balance state, camshaft 111 keeps synchronous with sleeve 119
Rotating speed, camshaft 111 turns over corresponding circumference arc, therefore camshaft 111 in the opposite direction with the opposite shell 115 of sleeve 119
Can certain corner delayed relative to sprocket wheel 112.Now valve timing drive device the rotating backward by therein mechanism
Realize delay of the overhead cam of camshaft 111 with respect to the rotational angle of sprocket wheel 112, i.e., so-called valve delay closure or openness, its
Charging efficiency is favorably improved, is that the high rotating speed of engine and high power work section provide safeguard.
, can be by Engine ECU according to vehicle driving demand repetition aforesaid operations mistake according to vehicle driving-cycle real-time change
Journey, realizes that valve is secondary or three timings, and lozenges width of its timing number of times in speed and outer sliding pawl set 122 determines (to join
Examine engine variable-valve timing range ± 30 degree).When the vehicle is stopped, Engine ECU control VVT control dress
Put and return to initial rest position.
It is low to middle low speed or in by low speed when speed when mode of operation one gradually increases suitable for vehicle speed of operation
The VVT of Engine ECU correspondence control when speed changes to high speed or by high speed to high speed.
Mode of operation two:Oil mass and oil pressure in the outside oil pocket 302 of sleeve 119 is kept not change.
Outer indexing pawl 120 shown in reference picture 2 and outer sliding pawl cover 122 present positions, when the inner fluid pressure of oil pocket 302 with
When the elastic force of external spiral spring 123 keeps relative balance state, outer indexing pawl 120 and outer sliding pawl set 122 are with outer guide 121 and set
With respect to remains stationary state during the rotation of cylinder 119.Now by increasing fluid oil mass and oil pressure in oil pocket 303 and reducing oil pocket
Fluid oil mass and oil pressure in 303, the inner fluid of oil pocket 305 promote interior indexing pawl 130 to be slided along the axial direction left end of camshaft 111
Move, interior indexing pawl 130 promotes interior sliding pawl set 128 to be slided to left end using the indexing pawl and guide rail slot structure of itself.Because of interior guide rail
129 and interior sliding pawl cover the guide effects of 128 inwall upper protruding blocks 601, and its inner fluid pressure of the oil pocket of left and right two 303 and 305 is made
With change is controlled in real time with Engine ECU, sliding pawl in before interior indexing pawl 130 arrival specified location is set to cover 128 relatively interior indexing
Pawl 130 will not produce relative rotation.
Due to the guiding and position-limiting action of interior guide rail 129, when interior indexing pawl 130 is pushed away under the inner fluid active force of oil pocket 305
When sliding pawl set 128 slides into extreme position to the left in dynamic (position of outer guide 121 in reference picture 5), inside spin spring 127 is compressed
To certain length.Now the lozenges of the interior left end lozenges of guide rail 129 and interior sliding pawl set 128 just coincide, and interior guide rail 129 is in oil
The inner fluid pressure of chamber 303 and the lower quick sliding of the elastic restoring force of inside spin spring 127 effect with interior sliding pawl by covering 128 lozenges
Crosspoint.Afterwards in the case where the inner fluid pressure of oil pocket 305 is with Engine ECU control quickly reduce, the inner fluid pressure of oil pocket 303 with
Under the effects such as the elastic restoring force of the lower quick increase of Engine ECU control and its inside spin spring 127, interior sliding pawl set 128 is counter to be pushed away
Interior indexing pawl 130 is slided to right-hand member, because the lozenges structure of interior guide rail 129 and interior sliding pawl set 128 promotes interior sliding pawl to cover 128 phases
Internal guide rail 129 turns over certain circumferential angle in a circumferential direction.Now relative to the quick increasing of the inner fluid pressure of oil pocket 303
Plus, the inertial force that the interior lozenges structure of guide rail 129 is formed when being rotated with sleeve 119 can be ignored, and promote interior lead
Rail 129 quickly slips over 128 lozenges of interior sliding pawl set and entered in guide groove 603.
It is because guide rail 129 keeps geo-stationary in a circumferential direction with interior indexing pawl 130 on the inwall of sleeve 119, i.e., interior
The synchronous axial system generation that sliding pawl covers 128 relative sleeves 119 rotates in same direction, and its turning circumference angle covers 128 single wedges for interior sliding pawl
The circular arc width sum of the corresponding circumference arc in shape face and interior guide rail 129, its value is equal to the outer single lozenges correspondence of sliding pawl set 122
Circumference arc.Sleeve 119 is with the synchronous axial system of shell 115 simultaneously, and camshaft 111 is with the interior indexing opposite shell 115 of pawl 130 with phase
It is equidirectional to turn over corresponding circumference arc in advance, therefore camshaft 111 turns over certain angle in advance with respect to sprocket wheel 112.Now should
VVT drive device realizes the overhead cam of camshaft 111 with respect to sprocket wheel by rotating in same direction for therein mechanism
112 rotational angles in advance, i.e., so-called valve shifts to an earlier date closure or openness, and it promotes valve overlap to increase, so improve row
Gas effect, helps to improve the fuel economy of low engine speeds active section and the torque output of big torque active section.
, can be by Engine ECU according to vehicle driving demand repetition aforesaid operations mistake according to vehicle driving-cycle real-time change
Journey, realizes that valve is secondary or three timings, and the lozenges width that its timing number of times is put by speed and sliding pawl is determined.When vehicle stops
When only, Engine ECU control variable valve timing control apparatus returns to initial rest position.
When example two is gradually reduced suitable for vehicle speed of operation, when speed is by dropping at a high speed high speed or by high speed
Engine ECU correspondence control when dropping to middle low speed or being dropped to low speed by middle low speed or increased torque output by motor instant
VVT.
During vehicle actual travel, it is real-time that the VVT drive device can be detected according to different sensors
Speed, engine speed, corner of sprocket wheel opposing cam axle etc., different oil pocket inner fluids are adjusted by Engine ECU in real time
Oil mass and oil pressure change are come the position relationship for changing the inside and outside indexing pawl of sleeve 119 and sliding pawl set, and control camshaft 111 is relative to chain
The in the same direction or backwards rotation of wheel 112, realizes shifting to an earlier date or delayed, its corresponding air inlet for the overhead cam phase of intake and exhaust cam axle 111
Door change in displacement timing curve is as shown in figure 14.
