Embodiment
The continuous band transmission device 1 that schematically illustrates among Fig. 1 has an initiative traction wheel 2 and a driven draught wheel 3 in the simplest formation that can imagine, they are twined by an endless twisting member 4 as the transmission of torque part.Both be suitable for chain as twisting member 4 and also be suitable for belt, preferably tooth belt.
If continuous band transmission device 1 for example is the continuous band transmission device of an internal-combustion engine that is not shown specifically, draught wheel 2 is connected with the inverted cam axle effect of internal-combustion engine with draught wheel 3 with the actuating cam axle of internal-combustion engine so.
As further finding out from Fig. 1, draught wheel 2 is equivalent to oval-shaped non-circular formation in known mode own mainly as partial draught wheel 2.As top and introduction, only this measure just can influence desired reduction vibration to a certain extent, method is the mechanical vibration excitation that was originally changed the continuous band transmission device 1 that causes by internal-combustion engine or its torque ripple or angular velocity and rotating speed, by the imbalance that comes from the continuous band transmission device 1 that at least one draught wheel 2 alleged non-circular formations produce, have the stack of advantage ground and reduce.But facts have proved that consequent vibration reduces still not enough and needs to improve.
Find now through research, by selecting winding angle α and the contact length of twisting member 4 at least one non-circular draught wheel 2 and/or 3, can particularly advantageously influence the vibration characteristics of twisting member 4 and therefore influence as the vibration characteristics of the continuous band transmission device 1 of system unit.
Fig. 2 and 3 illustrates the non-circular draught wheel 2 in the second level (ellipse) that a traditional continuous band transmission device 1 for example is connected with the effect of internal-combustion engine active bent axle respectively, utilize the twisting member 4 that twines draught wheel 2 to be on two typical rotational position, wherein, draught wheel 2 present clockwise direction rotations.
As being not difficult as seen from the figure, under rotation status shown in two kinds of draught wheel 2, adjust this winding angle α
1And α
2, make its difference that produces twisting member twine arc length degree or contact length, it causes the length fluctuation of twisting member 4 on the continuous band transmission device 1 idle running section 5 particularly again from their that aspects, and the tension force on its traction section 6 then remains unchanged.The reason that this fluctuation length change on the idle running section 5 is unfavorable vibration.
For eliminating this situation, according to the present invention winding angle α and the contact length of twisting member on the draught wheel 2 of at least one non-circular formation adjusted like this, make it all almost constant on any rotational position of draught wheel 2.Figure 4 and 5 are illustrated in of the present invention the setting and adopt the draught wheel 2 that same twisting member 4 twines to be on two typical rotational position.
Be winding angle α=180 determined of draught wheel 2 adjustment of the second level (ellipse) ° in view of the above, this winding angle causes all having the constant winding angle α with the constant contact length of twisting member on the one hand on any rotational position of draught wheel 2, and no matter is all to realize the constant as far as possible twisting member of tightening 4 in idle running section 5 or on traction section 6 on the other hand.Therefore unfavorable vibration on the twisting member 4 is avoided with having advantage.
But on the second level draught wheel 2 that the present invention is not confined to shown in the front and introduce in detail, but comprising in view of the above also having the the the 3rd, the 4th, the 5th, the 6th or the traction piece 2 and 3 of all non-circular moulding of n level, its mode of execution is here introduced no longer in detail.
In the framework of alleged research, for example concerning the known third level (triangle) draught wheel 2 itself, winding angle α=120 ° prove has advantage especially.In contrast to this, also can adjust the multiple of this winding angle α integer, in view of the above winding angle α=240 ° for example.But preferred winding angle α=120 ° is because efficient decreases during winding angle α=240 of being adjusted under this concrete condition °.
Concerning having the continuous band transmission device 1 of the fourth stage (quadrangle) draught wheel 2, prove the multiple that is suitable for winding angle α=90 ° or its integer, preferably winding angle α=180 °.
If use the draught wheel 2 of level V (pentagon), the multiple of winding angle α=72 ° or its integer so advantageously, preferably winding angle α=144 °.
On the draught wheel 2 of the 6th grade (hexagon), be suitable for the winding angle of α=60 ° or its integral multiple, but best winding angle α=120 °.
Be especially easily, therefore can be according to condition until the best winding angle α of the selected separately draught wheel 2 of n level
α=360°/OZ
Measure, wherein, notion OZ is employed non-circular draught wheel 2 or second, third, the 4th or the sequence number of n level draught wheel 2.
The α of winding angle separately of twisting member and alleged contact length according to purpose pass through the draught wheel 2,3 that participated in really sizing than and/or by select its each other spacing and/or by not being shown specifically but known auxiliary member adjust as steering wheel, turning roll or guide rail.
In addition, except draught wheel 2, draught wheel 3 also can constitute according to above-mentioned condition, and it is specially adapted to continuous band transmission device 1 that bent axle is connected with the camshaft (not being shown specifically) of internal-combustion engine.
Though there is the possibility of calculating the imaginary best winding angle α that measures each selected draught wheel 2,3 according to above-mentioned condition, but the test relevant with the continuous band transmission device 1 of internal-combustion engine shows, for obtaining the big as far as possible effectiveness in vibration suppression of expectation, the draught wheel 2 of arbitrary number of level and 3 can have selectively combination mutually.
For example find in view of the above, for continuous band transmission device 1 optimal results that bent axle is connected with the camshaft of three cylinder IC engines be, the draught wheel 3 of camshaft has the multiple of winding angle α=120 ° or its integer as the draught wheel 3 of the third level (triangle), but best winding angle α=120 °, and the draught wheel 2 circular formations (not being shown specifically) of bent axle.
For the reason of simplifying, depend on internal combustion (IC) engine cylinder number (promptly four, five and six-cylinder engine) below, other have the formation scheme of advantage especially in the mode of tabulating continuous band transmission device 1 to be shown except such scheme.Numerical value in the round parentheses represents to calculate separately the winding angle α of mensuration in this regard, but not preferred.
