Gear-driven integrally-assembled double-shaft balance shaft mechanism
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of engine vibration noise, and particularly relates to a gear-driven integrally-assembled double-shaft balance shaft mechanism.
Background
Reciprocating internal combustion engines produce cyclically varying rotational and reciprocating inertial forces during operation due to the cyclical nature of their operation and movement. If these forces cannot be cancelled out in the engine, the force transmitted to the support will also change constantly, causing the machine to vibrate on the support, resulting in poor balancing of the engine. The condition not only impairs the smoothness and comfort of the whole vehicle, but also accelerates the fatigue of a driver and influences the driving safety. In addition, the vibration can also increase the noise of the whole machine, influence the durability and fatigue performance of the fastener and the supporting piece, and greatly reduce the service life of the whole vehicle and the engine. For a four-cylinder diesel engine, due to the characteristics of the whole structure, the second-order reciprocating inertia force is the main reason of poor balance of the whole engine. In view of the above technical defects, the existing effective measure is to install a double-shaft balance shaft mechanism inside the engine body to counteract or eliminate the influence of second-order reciprocating inertia force.
The invention discloses a balance shaft device of an automobile engine, which is closest to the prior art (CN 208703017U) and has the advantages of low noise, light weight, low cost and good vibration reduction effect. The engine crankshaft gear transmission device comprises a seat body and at least two balance shafts, wherein balancing weights are arranged on the balance shafts, one balance shaft is used as a driven balance shaft, the other balance shafts are used as transmission balance shafts, an input gear and an output gear are sleeved on each transmission balance shaft, a driven gear is sleeved on each driven balance shaft, the driven gear is meshed with the output gear in a matching mode, the transmission balance shafts are in one-to-one meshing transmission through the input gear and the output gear, the transmission balance shafts are in meshing transmission with an engine crankshaft gear through the input gear, and gear teeth of the driven gear and the input gear are resin gears formed by injection molding; the transmission balance shaft and the driven balance shaft are supported and installed on the seat body through self-lubricating bearings.
The balance shaft mechanism has the obvious disadvantages that: 1. the intermediate gear and the active balance shaft gear are assembled on the active balance shaft at the same time, so that the meshing backlash of the crankshaft gear and the intermediate gear cannot be conveniently adjusted, and inconvenience is brought to the assembly of the balance shaft mechanism. 2. The balance shaft mechanism is not provided with a special bearing lubricating oil passage, so that the reliability and the service life of a bearing of the balance shaft are greatly reduced. Even if the self-lubricating bearing has no input of lubricating oil, the bearing burning risk of the balance shaft mechanism is greatly improved. 3. The balance shaft mechanism is not provided with a special engine oil leakage channel, so that a large amount of lubricating oil flowing down through an engine cylinder barrel is accumulated in a lower shell of the balance shaft after long-term operation or the lubricating oil permeates into the shell of the balance shaft due to overhigh lubricating oil level of an engine oil pan, and if the lubricating oil is not discharged out of the shell of the balance shaft, the operation of the balance shaft is retarded, so that the effective power of an engine is reduced and lost.
