Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to an electromagnetically driven valve, and more particularly to an electromagnetically driven valve of a rotary drive type used in an internal combustion engine and driven by electromagnetic force and elastic force.
  • Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 11-30113 discloses an electromagnetically driven apparatus aiming at prevention of generation of sound caused by friction or impact at the time of opening/closing of an intake/exhaust valve as well as attaining improvement in its characteristic of being mounted on an engine.
  • the electromagnetically driven apparatus disclosed in this publication includes an armature accommodated in a casing in a vertically movable manner, a valve-closing electromagnet and a valve-opening electromagnet fixed to positions above and below the armature respectively, and a valve-opening side spring moving an intake valve toward a valve-opening direction through the armature.
  • the electromagnetically driven apparatus structured as above is called a parallel drive type, in which electromagnetic force generated by the valve-closing electromagnet and the valve-opening electromagnet and elastic force by the valve-opening side spring directly act on a main shaft integrally formed with the armature, thereby causing the main shaft to carry out reciprocating motion.
  • Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 11-107723 discloses an electromagnetically driven valve aiming to realize excellent silence and power-saving capability.
  • the electromagnetically driven valve disclosed in this publication is also of a parallel drive type, similar to the electromagnetically driven apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 11-30113 mentioned above.
  • the electromagnetically driven valve of a rotary drive type includes a driven valve having a stem and carrying out reciprocating motion between a valve-opening position and a valve-closing position, a disc having one end in abutment to an end of the stem and the other end supported by a disc support base in a hinged manner, and an electromagnet applying electromagnetic force to the disc.
  • the electromagnetically driven valve further includes a torsion bar provided at the other end of the disc and moving the driven valve toward the valve-opening position and a helical spring arranged around an outer circumference of the stem and moving the driven valve toward the valve-closing position. Elastic force of the spring and electromagnetic force generated as a result of current supply to the electromagnet cause the disc to oscillate around the other end. The movement of the disc is transmitted to the stem through one end, whereby the driven valve carries out reciprocating motion.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an electromagnetically driven valve attaining smooth reciprocating motion of the driven valve.
  • An electromagnetically driven valve according to the present invention includes the features of claim 1:
  • the buffer member is guided by the guide member along the prescribed direction. Accordingly, while movement of the buffer member in the direction orthogonal to the prescribed direction is restricted, displacement of the valve shaft produced in the orthogonal direction can be accommodated. At the same time, the buffer member contracts and expands in the prescribed direction, so that registration error of the valve element caused by a difference from the valve shaft in thermal expansion or part assembly error can be accommodated. Therefore, according to the present invention, smooth reciprocating motion of the driven valve can be achieved while sufficient sealing of the intake/exhaust port by means of the valve element is ensured.
  • the valve shaft has a first shaft portion located on a side where one end is coupled with respect to the buffer member and a second shaft portion located on a side of the valve element with respect to the buffer member.
  • the first shaft portion includes a first end surface abutting on a surface of the buffer member. The first end surface makes sliding movement with respect to the surface of the buffer member, so that displacement of the valve shaft produced in the direction orthogonal to the prescribed direction is accommodated.
  • displacement of the valve shaft produced in the direction orthogonal to the prescribed direction can be accommodated by using a simplified structure.
  • the second shaft portion includes a second end surface connected to a surface of the buffer member, and the first shaft portion is formed such that the first end surface has an area larger than that of the second end surface.
  • an electromagnetically driven valve attaining smooth reciprocating motion of the driven valve can be provided.
  • the electromagnetically driven valve implements an engine valve (an intake valve or an exhaust valve) in an internal combustion engine such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine.

  • the current flows from the back toward the front of the sheet showing Fig. 4 .
  • magnetic flux flows in valve-opening/closing core 61 in a direction shown with an arrow 112, and the electromagnetic force attracting upper disc 30 toward attraction and contact surface 61a of electromagnet 60 is generated.

  • valve-opening/closing coil 62 at the position beyond the intermediate position, a current is again fed to valve-opening/closing coil 62 in a direction shown with arrow 111.
  • the current flows from the front toward the back of the sheet showing Fig. 6 .
  • magnetic flux flows in valve-opening/closing core 61 in a direction shown with an arrow 132, and the electromagnetic force attracting lower disc 20 toward attraction and contact surface 61 b of electromagnet 60 is generated.
  • upper disc 30 is attracted to attraction and contact surface 56a by valve-closing permanent magnet 56.
  • upper disc 30 is also attracted to attraction and contact surface 61 a of electromagnet 60 by the electromagnetic force generated by electromagnet 60.

  • lash adjuster 16 expands and contracts in the direction in which stem 12 extends, so as to accommodate registration error of driven valve 14 at the valve-closing position in Fig. 6 . Accordingly, intimate contact of umbrella-shaped portion 13 with valve seat 42 is ensured, thereby ensuring sealing between intake port 17 and the combustion chamber.
  • the parallel link mechanism causing lower disc 20 and upper disc 30 to simultaneously oscillate in order to allow reciprocating motion of driven valve 14 is adopted. Actually, however, registration error of driven valve 14 tends to occur due to dimension error or assembly error caused among disc parts. Therefore, lash adjuster 16 is particularly effective in electromagnetically driven valve 10 including the parallel link mechanism.
  • valve-opening/closing coil 62 is repeatedly started and stopped at a timing described above.
  • upper disc 30 and lower disc 20 are caused to oscillate between the oscillation ends on the valve-opening side and the valve-closing side, so that driven valve 14 carries out the reciprocating motion as a result of the oscillating movement.
  • Fig. 7 schematically shows movement of the lower disc and the upper disc oscillating from the oscillation end on the valve-closing side to the oscillation end on the valve-opening side as well as the lash adjuster lowered with such movement.
  • end surface 18a of upper stem 18 makes a sliding movement in a horizontal direction with respect to top surface 16a of lash adjuster 16, so that displacement of upper stem 18 to the direction orthogonal to stem 12 is accommodated.
  • Fig. 8 shows a slide portion 71 on top surface 16a, where sliding movement with respect to end surface 18a is made.
  • lash adjuster 16 is guided by guide ring 45 along the direction in which stem 12 extends. Therefore, even if force in the direction orthogonal to stem 12 is applied due to sliding movement with respect to end surface 18a, lash adjuster 16 does not move in that direction.
  • oscillating movement of lower disc 20 and upper disc 30 can be converted to reciprocating motion of driven valve 14, without transmitting displacement of upper stem 18 in the direction orthogonal to stem 12 to lower stem 19.
  • top surface 16a may be subjected to surface treatment, such as polished finish of top surface 16a of lash adjuster 16 or appropriate metal coating of top surface 16a. In such a case, smooth sliding between end surface 18a and top surface 16a can be achieved, and abrasion resistance of slide portion 71 can be improved.
  • surface treatment such as polished finish of top surface 16a of lash adjuster 16 or appropriate metal coating of top surface 16a.
  • lash adjuster 16 and upper stem 18 are formed from different materials. Then, such a state that end surface 18a and top surface 16a slid with respect to each other and brought in contact with each other are more susceptible to chemical bond can be prevented. This is also the case between lash adjuster 16 and guide ring 45 as well as between coupling pins 12p, 12q and lower disc 20 and upper disc 30, that are slid with respect to each other and brought in contact with each other in a similar manner.
