Definitions
- the present invention relates to motor-vehicle internal combustion engines having at least one cylinder with an associated pair of intake and/or exhaust valves and a camshaft for controlling the opening and closing of both valves of the pair by means of two respective pivoted rocker fingers.
- the object of the present invention is to avoid this disadvantage by providing an internal combustion engine of the type defined above in which the differentiated opening of the two valves is achieved without the need to provide two separate cams or two rockers with different profiles.
- this object is achieved by virtue of the fact the rockers of the two valves are identical to each other and have respective centres of pivoting disposed on opposite sides of the camshaft, and in that the two rockers are operated by a single common cam.
- the common cam operates the two valves differently due to the different interactions of the two rockers resulting exclusively from their opposed positioning. This effect is achieved with a number of essential components (a single cam and two identical rockers) which eliminates almost all structural complication in the engine.
- part of the head of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine for motor vehicles is generally indicated 1 and is provided in correspondence with each cylinder with a pair of intake (or exhaust) valves 2, 3 controlled by a distributor shaft 4 supported for rotation by the head 1.
- Each valve 2, 3 has a rod 5, 6 the top of which is operatively associated with a respective rocker 7, 8.
- the two rods 5, 6 also have respective associated biasing springs 9, 10, in conventional manner.
- the two rockers 7, 8 are of the finger type and are formed with respective cam-follower surfaces 11, 12 which, according to the invention, cooperate with a single, common cam 13 of the distributor shaft 4.
- This cam 13 has an axial extent such as to ensure contact between its own outer profile and the two cam-follower surfaces 11, 12.
- the two rocker fingers 7, 8 are pivotably supported at respective ends opposite the rods 2, 3 by means of articulation heads 14, 15 supported at the tops of respective hydraulic tappets 16, 17 of known type with automatic play recovery.
- the two rocker fingers 7, 8 are identical to each other and are disposed symmetrically, in mutually opposite positions with respect to the distributor shaft 4: the fulcra 14, 15 with the respective hydraulic tappets 16, 17 are in fact situated on opposite sides of the shaft 4.
- the interaction between the cam 13 and the two cam-follower surfaces 11, 12 of the two rockers 7, 8 effects a differentiated opening/closing cycle for the two valves 2, 3, in use.
- This cycle is shown schematically in the graph of Figure 3 as a function of time and of the angular position of the cam 13 during one complete revolution.
- the curve A represents the opening/closing graph of the valve 2 while the curve B represents the valve 3: as can be seen, the opening/closing cycle of the second is delayed relative to that of the first so that, when the valve 2 starts its reclosure travel, the valve 3 has yet to reach its fully-open position.
- the condition in which both valves are completely closed, is, however, reached at the same instant.
