Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of automobiles, in particular to an automobile valve mechanism driving device and a control method thereof.
Background
At present, a conventional valve mechanism driving device is shown in fig. 1, and under the driving of a transmission system such as a chain system or a belt, the air inlet and outlet valves of an engine are opened and closed according to a fixed cam profile and time, so that the air inlet, combustion and exhaust processes of the engine are realized.
However, because the requirements of the engine on the air inflow are different in low load, partial load and full load, the traditional valve driving mechanism controls the opening and closing of the valve according to the fixed lift and the opening wrap angle, and at the moment, the air inflow can be controlled by adjusting the opening degree and the valve timing of the throttle valve under different working conditions of the engine, so that the pumping loss is high.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of high pumping loss in the prior art. It is necessary to design a valve driving mechanism capable of covering the variable valve wrap angle of the engine working condition to adjust the air inflow under different working conditions, so as to realize the differential requirements on performance and oil consumption under different working conditions. The invention provides a valve mechanism driving device of an automobile and a control method thereof, which realize the closed-loop adjustable function of a valve opening wrap angle under different working conditions by a valve driving part and a motion adjusting part which are controlled by an engine control unit in a closed-loop manner, so as to adjust the air inflow under different working conditions and realize the differential requirements on performance and oil consumption under different working conditions.
The invention provides a valve mechanism driving device of an automobile, comprising a plurality of valve mechanisms; also comprises a valve driving part, a motion adjusting part and a driving control part. The valve driving part comprises a mandrel extending along the arrangement direction of the valve mechanisms and a transmission disc assembly sleeved on the mandrel, wherein the transmission disc assembly is in transmission connection with the valve mechanisms so as to transmit rotation of the mandrel to the valve mechanisms, and accordingly the valve mechanisms are driven to open and close valves. The motion adjusting member is disposed on one side of the valve driving member and applies an adjusting force to the driving disk assembly in a first direction perpendicular to an arrangement direction of the plurality of valve mechanisms to adjust an alignment between a rotational axis of at least a portion of the driving disk assembly and a rotational axis of the spindle, thereby changing a valve opening wrap angle of at least a portion of the valve mechanisms. The driving control part controls the motion adjusting part to apply adjusting acting force to the transmission disc assembly according to the motion signal fed back by the motion adjusting part.
With the above-described arrangement, the drive control means is used to control the motion adjusting means, which imparts an adjusting force to the drive disc assembly in driving connection with the plurality of valve trains, thereby changing the alignment between the rotational axis of at least part of the drive disc assembly and the rotational axis of the spindle. When the center of rotation of the drive disk assembly is concentric with the center of rotation of the spindle, the valve motion wrap angle produced by the part of the drive disk assembly driving the valve mechanisms in driving connection with the plurality of valve mechanisms coincides with the valve motion wrap angle produced when the conventional camshaft is employed. When the rotation center of the driving disc assembly is adjusted to deviate from the rotation center of the mandrel, the valve movement wrap angle generated by the part of the driving disc assembly connected with the valve mechanisms in a driving way is larger and smaller than that generated by the traditional camshaft. When the center of the drive disk assembly is deviated to one side (namely, the direction in which the movement adjusting component applies the adjusting force) so that the valve movement wrap angle becomes larger, the valve movement wrap angle becomes smaller when the center of the drive disk assembly is deviated to the opposite direction by taking the collineation of the center of the drive disk assembly and the center of the mandrel as 0 point.

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Example 1
There is provided a valve train driving apparatus of an automobile, as shown in fig. 2 to 3, including a plurality of valve trains 1; also included are a valve drive component 10, a motion adjustment component 20, and a drive control component 30.
Specifically, the valve driving member 10 includes a spindle 11 extending in the arrangement direction of the plurality of valve mechanisms 1, and a driving disc assembly 12 sleeved on the spindle 11, wherein the driving disc assembly 12 is in driving connection with the plurality of valve mechanisms 1 to transmit rotation of the spindle 11 to the plurality of valve mechanisms 1, thereby driving the valve mechanisms 1 to open and close the valve. The movement adjusting member 20 is provided on the valve driving member 10 side, and applies an adjusting force to the actuator disk assembly 12 in a first direction a perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of valve mechanisms 1 to adjust the alignment between the rotational axis of at least part of the actuator disk assembly 12 and the rotational axis of the spindle 11, thereby changing the valve opening wrap angle of at least part of the valve mechanisms. The drive control unit 30 controls the motion adjustment unit 20 to apply an adjustment force to the drive plate assembly 12 based on the motion signal fed back by the motion adjustment unit 20.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the arrangement direction of the plurality of valve mechanisms 1 is the same as the extending direction of the spindle 11 in fig. 2, and the first direction a perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of valve mechanisms 1 is the vertical direction in fig. 2, may be a direction extending obliquely in the vertical direction, or may be a direction perpendicular to the spindle 11 at the same time as the spindle 11 in the same horizontal plane, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
The movement adjustment member 20 applies an adjustment force to the actuator disc assembly 12 in the first direction a, i.e. by moving the actuator disc assembly 12 in the first direction a by the adjustment force, such that the alignment between the rotational axis of at least part of the actuator disc assembly 12 and the rotational axis of the spindle 11 is changed, thereby changing the valve opening wrap angle of at least part of the valve mechanism. The adjusting force may be power transmission, or may be directly applied with a pulling force or a pushing force, and the adjusting force may be applied by using a transmission structure such as a gear, a rotating shaft, a slider, or the like, so long as the transmission disc assembly 12 can receive the force in the first direction a.
In the working process, the driving control part 30 compares the calculated wrap angle situation with a preset ignition control graph target value of the driving control part 30 according to the change of working conditions, and if deviation exists, the driving control part 30 drives the motion adjusting part 20 to enable the transmission disc assembly 12 to generate corresponding rotary motion until the deviation of the current wrap angle and the target wrap angle approaches to 0.
It should be appreciated that the preferred specific structure of the drive plate assembly 12, the movement adjustment member 20 and the drive control member 30 will be described later and will not be described in detail herein. The drive disc assembly 12 has at least the existing drive or contact structure for connecting the valve train 1 and mechanical structure that can receive the adjustment force and transmit the adjustment force to change the existing cam wrap angle. The movement adjusting member 20 may be a mechanical structure that can emit an adjusting force using a cam, a push rod, a gear, a belt, or the like. The drive control unit 30 includes at least a motor, a sensor, a controller, and the like, which can feed back signals and send out control signals.
With the above-described arrangement, the motion adjusting member 20 is controlled using the drive control member 30, and the motion adjusting member 20 imparts an adjusting force to the actuator disk assembly 12 drivingly connected to the plurality of valve mechanisms 1, thereby changing the alignment between the rotational axis of at least part of the actuator disk assembly 12 and the rotational axis of the spindle 11.
When the rotation center of the driving disc assembly 12 is concentric with the rotation center of the spindle 11, the valve movement wrap angle generated by the partial driving valve mechanism 1 of the driving disc assembly 12, which is in driving connection with the plurality of valve mechanisms 1, coincides with the valve movement wrap angle generated when the conventional camshaft is employed.
When the rotation center of the driving disc assembly 12 is adjusted to deviate from the rotation center of the spindle 11, the valve movement wrap angle generated by the part of the driving disc assembly 12 which is in driving connection with the plurality of valve mechanisms 1 drives the valve mechanisms 1 is increased and decreased compared with the movement wrap angle generated by the conventional cam shaft. When the center of the drive disk assembly 12 is offset to one side (i.e., the direction in which the movement adjusting member 20 applies the adjusting force) and the valve movement wrap angle is increased, the valve movement wrap angle is decreased when the center of the drive disk assembly 12 and the center of the spindle 11 are aligned to 0 point.
Fig. 8 and 9 show valve lift curves, the abscissa shows the rotation angle of the crankshaft, the ordinate shows the valve opening lift, MOP shows the corresponding crank angle at the maximum opening position of the valve, and the valve opening position of 1mm shows the corresponding crank angle at the valve opening position of 1 mm.
Fig. 8 and 9 show 2 typical cases of variable valve motion rules with engineering feature meaning coincidence points, which can be realized by the mechanism of the present invention. In principle, the mechanism can select any position to make the coincidence point, but in single specific practical application, the coincidence point is fixed once selected, so the document gives 2 common engineering feature points as the coincidence point cases to carry out the effect display of variable wrap angles. For example, different coincidence points can be achieved by different designs of the relative angles of the first runner 131, the second runner 1224, and the cam 1222.
The 'lengthening' and the 'compressing' of the valve motion curves at the two sides of the coincident point can be realized by adjusting the eccentric direction of the transmission disc and the mandrel, so that the included angle is increased and decreased.
The coincident point indicates that a certain lift position (crank angle) of valve opening when the drive plate is collinear with the spindle (i.e., the theoretical regular curves in fig. 8, 9) is equal to the corresponding lift position (crank angle) of valve opening when the drive plate is off-center with the spindle.
The smaller the abscissa crank angle in fig. 8 and 9, the more the advancing direction and the more the retarding direction; the variable valve wrap mechanism of the invention increases and decreases the valve opening wrap angle and changes the valve opening and closing time. The position signal fed back by the cam sleeve thus contains the valve phase change produced by the phase modulator and the variable valve wrap mechanism.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a valve train driving apparatus of an automobile according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed, and as shown in fig. 3, a driving control part 30 includes a first signaling member 31, a second signaling member 32, a sensor member 33, an engine controller 34, and a driver member 35. The first signaling member 31 is provided on the drive disk assembly 12 and driven by the drive disk assembly 12; the second signalling member 32 is arranged at one end of the spindle 11; the first signalling member 31 and the second signalling member 32 are signalling wheels having tooth characteristics; the driver member 35 is in driving connection with the first transmission mechanism 21; the sensor member 33 is disposed at a position corresponding to the first transmitting member 31 and the second transmitting member 32, receives a motion signal, and feeds back the motion signal to the engine controller 34, and the engine controller 34 controls the driver member 35 to drive the first transmission mechanism 21 according to the motion signal.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 7a, the first signaling member 31 is a signaling wheel having a tooth feature, the first signaling member 31 has an inner hole feature, and is mounted on the cam sleeve 122 of the driving disc assembly 12, for example, the mounting portion of the cam sleeve 122 as described above and in interference fit with the mounting portion of the cam sleeve 122 as shown in fig. 5e, and the assembled structure of the first signaling member 31 mounted on the cam sleeve 122 is shown in fig. 7 e. As shown in fig. 7c, the second signaling member 32 is a signaling wheel with tooth feature, the mandrel 11 has a signaling wheel mounting diameter, and is interference fit with the inner hole of the second signaling member 32, and the assembly structure is shown in fig. 7 f. The first signaling member 31 cooperates with the sensor member 33 to feed back a phase characteristic signal of the cam sleeve 122, and simultaneously feeds back a specific opening/closing timing signal of the valve, and uses the above signal as a motion signal. The second signalling member 32 cooperates with the sensor member 33 to detect the position of the spindle 11.
As shown in fig. 7b, the sensor member 33 cooperates with the first signalling member 31 to transmit the signal fed back by the signalling teeth of the first signalling member 31 to the engine controller 34; in cooperation with the second transmitting member 32, signals fed back by the transmitting teeth of the second transmitting member 32 are transmitted to the engine controller 34.
The engine controller 34 collects the tooth signals as the motion signals sent from the first and second transmitting members 31 and 32 fed back from the sensor member 33. The phase of the mandrel 11 is calculated by the signal fed back by the second signalling member 32, and the phase change of each cam sleeve 122 is judged by comparing the position signals of the cam sleeves 122 fed back by the first signalling member 31, whether the phase change of each cam sleeve 122 is generated by a phase modulator driving the mandrel 11 or by a wrap angle adjustable mechanism generated by the mechanism of the invention. And meanwhile, the current wrap angle can be calculated by comparing the opening and closing moments of the specific valve fed back by the sensor member 33, and the driver member 35 is driven by comparing the current wrap angle with the target value of the ECU calibration working condition chart.
It is to be understood that a phase modulator refers to a variable valve timing (phase) mechanism that may be advanced or retarded as a whole by the law of valve motion, i.e., by advancing or retarding the valve opening and closing times.
The smaller the abscissa crank angle in fig. 8 and 9, the more the advancing direction and the more the retarding direction; the variable valve wrap mechanism of the invention increases and decreases the valve opening wrap angle and changes the valve opening and closing time. The position signal fed back by the cam sleeve thus contains the valve phase change produced by the phase modulator and the variable valve wrap mechanism.
As shown in fig. 7d, the driver member 35 may be a motor, and is connected to the engine controller 34 through a wire harness, and is meshed with the gear body 2111 of the motion adjusting component 20 through a helical tooth, the driver member 35 receives a control signal of the engine controller 34, and transmits rotation of the helical tooth to the rotation shaft 213, and the rotation shaft 213 generates rotation motion to drive the motion adjusting component 20, so that the motion adjusting component 20 applies an adjusting force to the driving disc component 12, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the position of the driving disc component 12 and realizing the function of adjusting the valve wrap angle.

S2: when the engine is started, the motion signals are required to be compared, and whether the motion signals are consistent with the theoretical dead position preset by the drive control part 30 or not is judged, so that the purpose of diagnosing whether the mechanism operates normally or not is realized;
s3: in the working process, according to the change of the working condition, the calculated wrap angle condition is compared with the ignition control curve target value preset by the driving control component 30, and if deviation exists, the driving control component 30 drives the motion adjusting component 20 to enable the transmission disc component 12 to generate corresponding-direction rotary motion until the deviation between the current wrap angle and the target wrap angle approaches to 0.
Specifically, taking the preferred embodiment of example 1 as an example, during operation, the engine controller 34 collects the signal of the cam sleeve 122 fed back by the first signaling member 31 and the signal of the mandrel 11 fed back by the second signaling member 32, firstly compares the position signal of the mandrel 11 fed back by the second signaling member 32 to determine the phase adjustment condition of the mandrel 11 under the action of the engine phase modulator, then compares the cam phase characteristic signal fed back by the first signaling member 31 to determine the specific opening and closing time signal of the valve fed back by the first signaling member 31 and the duty ratio condition of the phase modulator adjustment, and can obtain the valve opening wrap angle condition at the current time by calculating the difference value.
When the engine is started, the signals fed back to the engine controller 34 by the second signaling member 32 through the sensor member 33 are compared, and whether the signals of the second signaling member 32 are consistent with the theoretical dead position preset by the engine controller 34 or not is judged, so that the purpose of diagnosing whether the mechanism operates normally or not is achieved.
In the working process, according to the change of the working condition, the calculated wrap angle situation is compared with a target value of a calibration working condition diagram preset by the engine controller 34, if deviation exists, a driving signal is given to drive the driver component 35 to generate rotary motion in a corresponding direction until the deviation between the current wrap angle and the target wrap angle is 0 or is stable within a very small range, and closed-loop control of wrap angle adjustment is realized. When the engine returns to idle or shut down, the engine controller 34 sends a control signal to cause the driver member 35 to rotate until the limit boss 2112 of the gear body 2111 engages a limit stop on the engine to a dead-end position of movement of the mechanism.
