Definitions

  • This invention concerns an internal combustion engine as indicated in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention was developed after reflection upon the foregoing problems and its objective is the creation of a four-cycle engine which, even with a large number of valves, allows a compact cylinder head with a single structure.
  • the aforementioned objective is performed in that the camshafts are driven from said crankshaft via an intermediate reduction gear unit.
  • the foregoing air intake valves are configured in a radiating manner, and moreover, positioned so that the distance between the axes of adjacent air intake valves is a minimum substantially at the mid-way position in the valve axial direction from the lower edge of the valve to the top of edge of the lifter.
  • the camshaft bearings are located between the air intake valve lifters on at least the air intake side of each cylinder, and since the cylinder head bolts on at least the air intake side are positioned outside the air intake valve lifters, interference among the cylinder head bolts, the lifters and camshaft bearings is avoided, thereby allowing a single cylinder head structure, fewer cylinder head parts, and a simplified cylinder head structure.
  • said four-cycle engine 1 is a multicylinder engine with the cylinders positioned side-by-side.
  • the assembly comprises a pulley 3 affixed to one end of the crankshaft 2, a drive pulley 5 for the alternator 4, a drive pulley 7 for the water pump 6, a drive pulley 9 for the power steering pump 8, and a drive pulley 11 for the air conditioning compressor 10.
  • These pulleys 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 are connected by a V-belt 12.
  • a pulley 13 is used to adjust the tension of V-belt 12.
  • a cylinder head 15 is affixed atop the cylinder block 14 of the four-cycle engine 1.
  • a cylinder head cover 16 also covers the top of said cylinder head 15.
  • An oil pan 17 is mounted under the cylinder block 14.
  • crankshaft 2 protrudes through a space formed at one end of the cylinder block 14, as shown in Figure 7, and a small diameter sprocket 18 is affixed there to said crankshaft 2.
  • a freely rotating intermediate shaft 19 is present at the bottom of the foregoing cylinder head 15 and is parallel to the crankshaft 2.
  • Large and small diameter sprockets 20, 21 are affixed to one end of said intermediate shaft 19.
  • camshafts 22 and 23 are present on the top of the cylinder head 15 on the air intake and exhaust sides and run perpendicularly to the plane of the paper of Figure 7.
  • Sprockets 24 and 25 are affixed to one end of each of these camshafts 22, 23, respectively and are larger in diameter than the foregoing sprocket 21.
  • a chain 26 spans the foregoing sprockets 18 and 20, while a chain 27 spans sprockets 21, 24 and 25. These chains 26 and 27 are maintained at the required tension by tensioners 28 and 29.
  • the four-cycle engine 1 as shown is of the 5-valve type, with three exhaust valves, 30-1, 30-2 (see Figures 3 and 4) on the air intake side and two exhaust valves 31 (see Figure 3) on the exhaust side.
  • Three air intake passages 32-1, 32-2 (see Figures 3 and 4) and two exhaust passages 33 (see Figure 3) are present in the cylinder head 15. These air intake passages 32-1, 32-2 are opened and closed by the foregoing air intake valves 30-1, 30-2 at the appropriate timing, as are the exhaust passages 33 by the foregoing exhaust valves 31.
  • valves 30-1, 30-2 and the exhaust valves 31 are inserted and retained in valve guides 34, 35 so that they are free to slide. Above them are valve lifters 36, 37 respectively. These air intake valves 30-1, 30-2, and exhaust valves 31 are held in the normally closed position by springs 38, 39, respectively.
  • valve lifters 36 are slidably fitted into three round holes 40-1, 40-2 present at the air intake side of each cylinder in the cylinder head 15.
  • Valve lifters 37 are slidably fitted into two round holes 41 on the exhaust side of each cylinder in the cylinder head 15.
  • the thickness of the material between adjacent round holes 40-1, 40-2, which are positioned in a radiating manner and which contain the foregoing air intake valves 30-1, 30-2, is at its minimum in the mid-way position in the axial direction of the valves. Accordingly, the distance between the adjacent air intake valves 30-1, 30-2 has been shortened, providing space for the cam shaft 22 journal and allowing to increase the diameter of the lifters 36.
  • the foregoing camshafts 22, 23 run parallel to each other on the air intake and exhaust sides on top of the cylinder head 15.
  • the air intake side camshaft 22 is supported so that it is free to rotate in the journal areas on bearings held by the bearing cap 42 between the valve lifters 36 (between the round holes 40-1 and 40-2) in the cylinder head 15, and on bearings at both ends of the cylinder head 15 held by bearing caps 43.
  • the exhaust side camshaft 23 is supported in such manner by bearings 44 that it is free to rotate in the areas between valve lifters 37 (holes 41) in the cylinder head 15, said bearing 44 being held in place by bearing cap 46 and bolts 45 (see Figure 4), as well as by bearings at both ends of the cylinder head 15, which are held by bearing caps 47.
  • camshafts 22, 23 and the cams 22a, 23a sliding against the above mentioned valve lifters 36, 37, are each formed integrally as single units.
  • the offset e1 and e3 on both sides is taken on the inside of the centers of the cams 22a, while the offset e2 of the center is taken on the left side of the center of cam 22a. Accordingly, The distance from the center l1 of the left side two cams 22a, is greater than the distance l2 on the right side two cams 22a (l1 > l2), so that the thickness b1 of the journal area between the left side two cams 22a is greater than the thickness b2 of the journal area between the right side two cams (b1 > b2).
  • the offset e2 may be used on either side of the center of cam 22a, and if the offset e2 had been taken on the right side with respect to the center of the cam 22a in Figure 5, then the above described relationships would be reversed: they would be l1 ⁇ l2, b1 ⁇ b2, respectively.
  • the plug holes 48, one for each cylinder, in the central area of the cylinder head 15 are such that they tilt toward the exhaust side.
  • the holes 49 in the cylinder head 15 are sand drain holes used for the casting process.
  • the cylinder head 15 has been cast as a single unit, and it is held onto the foregoing cylinder block 14 (see Figure 6) by means of cylinder head bolts 52, 53 (see Figure 2) which pass though the bolt insertion holes 50 present at an appropriate pitch on the air intake side, and bolt insertion holes 51 present at an appropriate pitch on the exhaust side of the cylinder head 15.
  • the bolt insertion holes 50 on the air intake side are outside the valve lifters 26 (round holes 40-1, 40-2).
  • camshafts 22 and 23 the ratios of the diameters of the sprocket 21 on the intermediate shaft 19 to the sprockets 24 and 25 on the camshafts 22 and 23 implementing the second-stage speed reduction, as a result of which said camshafts 22 and 23 rotate at half the speed of the crankshaft 2.
  • cams 22a, 23a are caused to rotate, thereby pushing the foregoing intake and exhaust valve lifters 36, 37 downward at an appropriate timing, overcoming the force of springs 38, 39 for the intake and exhaust valves 30-1, 30-2, and 31, whereby, as described above, the intake and exhaust passages 32-1, 32-2, and 33 are opened and closed at the appropriate timing by the intake and exhaust valves 30-1, 30-2 and 31.
  • the rotational speed of the crankshaft is reduced in two stages when transmitted to the camshafts 22, 23, thereby enabling the sprockets 24, 25 affixed to camshafts 22, 23 to be of a lesser diameter, allowing a reduction of the distance between the camshafts 22 and 23, which further reduces the size of this four-cycle engine 1.
  • This embodiment comprises bearings for the camshaft 22 which are positioned between the valve lifters 36 for the three air intake valves 30-1, 30-2 on the air intake side, the bolt insertion holes 50 (for cylinder head bolts 52) on the air intake side being positioned outside the air intake side valve lifters 36 (round holes 40-1, 40-2), while avoiding interference among the cylinder head bolts 52, the valve lifters 36 and the bearings.
  • the cylinder head may be a single structure; one which is simpler and which offers a reduced number of parts for the cylinder head 15.
  • the shown embodiment simplifies the cylinder head structure, even enabling a single cylinder head structure for multi-valve engines and the achievement of more compact four-cycle engines of the type having three air intake valves per cylinder and overhead air intake and exhaust camshafts, by using a cylinder head with a single structure, a two stage speed reduction in the transmission of the rotation of the crankshaft to the foregoing camshafts, and further, by positioning camshaft bearings between the air intake valve lifters, and by positioning the cylinder head bolts outside the air intake valve lifters on the air intake side of the head.
  • the provision and arrangement of the sand drain holes 49 is advantageous particularly with respect to the casting process. This is, of course, not restricted to sand drain holes provided in combination with the intermediate reduction gear unit or the head bolts disposed laterally outwards with respect to the intake camshaft.
