Description

Engine braking apparatus
Technical field:
The utility model relates to mechanical field, relates in particular to the braking device of motor, particularly a kind of engine braking apparatus.
Background technique:
In the prior art, internal-combustion engine is known altogether as the method behaviour of brake tool, only needed motor temporarily is converted to compressor.Fuel oil is cut off in this conversion, when the engine piston compression stroke finishes or when finishing, open outlet valve, allowing to be compressed gas (being air during braking) is released, the motor energy that pressurized gas absorbed in compression stroke, can not turn back to engine piston at expansion stroke subsequently, but dissipate by the exhaust and the radiation system of motor.Final result is effective engine braking, slows down the speed of vehicle.
A precedent of engine brake is that the U.S. Patent number 3220392 that is provided by comings (Cummins) discloses, according to the engine braking system of this patent manufacturing commercial very successful.But, this type of engine braking system is the annex of overhead on motor.For this type of engine brake is installed, between cylinder and valve gap, to add packing ring, therefore, increased height, weight and the cost of motor extraly.Above-mentioned these problems are because engine braking system is used as an annex of motor, rather than of motor constituent element or integrated part caused.
Engine brake of the prior art is delivered to the outlet valve that will open through oil hydraulic circuit with the machinery input.Be usually included in reciprocating main piston in the master piston bore on the oil hydraulic circuit, this to-and-fro motion comes from the machinery input of motor, such as the shaking of oil sprayer rocking arm, the hydraulic fluid that moves through of main piston is delivered to sub-piston on the oil hydraulic circuit, make its to-and-fro motion in slave piston bore, sub-piston acts on the outlet valve directly or indirectly, produces the valve actuation of engine braking running.
Therefore, above-mentionedly there is another shortcoming by hydraulically powered conventional engines break, be the contractibility or the distortion of hydraulic system, this flexibility with liquid is relevant, a large amount of compressions that high flexibility causes brake valve to rise reduce, valve rises reduces the increase that causes valve to carry, and the increase that valve carries causes higher flexibility, causes a kind of vicious circle.In addition, the valve liter that is caused by hydraulic pressure distortion reduces to increase along with the increase of engine speed, and to rise trend on the contrary with the desired brake valve of engine braking performance.In order to reduce flexible hydraulic, must use large diameter hydraulic piston, increase volume and weight.And oily stream need make enlarged bore piston stretch out for a long time or withdraw, and causes that braking system inertia is big, reaction is slow.
Summary of the invention:
The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of engine braking apparatus, the overhead mode that described this engine braking apparatus will solve engine braking system in the prior art has increased the height of motor and the technical problem of manufacture cost, will solve the technical problem that braking system inertia is big, reaction is slow that hydraulically powered engine brake exists simultaneously.
