Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealed-type lash adjuster, and particularly to a sealed-type lash adjuster equipped with sealing means between a plunger and a body.
  • a lash adjuster that automatically adjusts a valve clearance provided between an intake or exhaust valve and a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine to substantially zero.
  • a sealed-type lash adjuster in the aspect of function, knocking noise generated by interference between the intake or exhaust valve and the cylinder head is eliminated by means of this lash adjuster.
  • the lash adjuster includes, for example, an external oil feed type lash adjuster that utilizes engine oil.
  • the function of the lash adjuster can be impaired. That is, in the external oil feed type lash adjuster, the function of the lash adjuster depends on whether the engine oil is well maintained or not.
  • the lash adjuster includes a sealed-type lash adjuster in which a liquid such as oil is hermetically enclosed. With such a sealed-type lash adjuster as just described, the above-described factors impairing the function thereof can be eliminated.
  • a sealed-type lash adjuster such as shown below has been proposed, for example, in Patent Document 1.
  • the sealed-type lash adjuster proposed by Patent Document 1 is equipped with an oil seal having two lips in an X-letter shaped cross section (hereinafter simply called X-seal) between a body and a plunger.
  • This X-seal can seal two liquids on both sides of the seal at the same time. Consequently, this sealed-type lash adjuster has a structure to simultaneously prevent outflow of the oil sealed by the X-seal to the outside and intrusion of the engine oil from the outside.
  • a sealed-type lash adjuster is also known from EP O 010 768 .
  • the operating stroke of the plunger required for a lash adjuster is normally in the approximate range of 2 to 2.5 mm.
  • the plunger rests at the bottom of the body while the engine is stopped. Therefore, after the engine is cracked up from this state, if the plunger is most extended during the stage in which a cam is on the base circle, the sliding width (stroke) between the plunger and the body can exceed the approximate range of 2 to 2.5 mm.
  • the X-seal is normally going to maintain the sealing function thereof by deforming without sliding relative to the body when the plunger makes the reciprocating motion.
  • the plunger can slide relative to the body by rapidly extending up. Consequently, in such a situation as this, it is necessary to make the X-seal function as a seal for reciprocating motion to prevent mixture of the two liquids due to movement of the oil film.
  • the mixture of the two liquids due to movement of the oil film essentially occurs when the stroke of the plunger exceeds the width along which the X-seal contacts the sliding surface of the body. Therefore, in order to prevent the mixture of the two liquids, it is required to provide an X-seal of a size consistent with the stroke of the plunger.
  • the stroke of the plunger described above it is considered to be inevitable that the sealed-type lash adjuster becomes larger in size with the X-seal that can prevent the mixture of the two liquids.
  • a sealed-type lash adjuster that is capable of preventing or suppressing a liquid from intruding from the outside and also the liquid that has intruded from the outside from being mixed into a liquid sealed inside.
  • the present invention for solving the problem described above is a sealed-type lash adjuster defined by claim 1 which includes a plunger, a body in which the plunger is inserted in a fitting manner, a first sealing means provided between the plunger and the body, and a second sealing means that slidably seals a portion of the plunger exposed out of the body, and that is arranged in a manner covering a clearance provided between an open end portion of the body and the plunger in a state of being directly or indirectly fixed in close contact to the body, and also being characterized in that a portion of the body located on the side nearer to the open end portion thereof than the first sealing means is provided with a communication hole that communicates an inner wall surface of the body with an outer wall surface thereof.
  • the second sealing means has a structure to prevent or suppress intrusion of a liquid from the outside.
  • sealing can be more reliably achieved because a functional part for preventing outflow of a sealed liquid and a functional part for preventing intrusion of a liquid from the outside are separately provided. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent or suppress a liquid from intruding from the outside and being mixed into a liquid sealed inside. In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively prevent or suppress not only the intrusion of the liquid from the outside, but also intrusion of fine chips and so forth by arranging the second sealing means so as to cover the clearance described above.
  • the lateral motion can also be suppressed by the second sealing means. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible not only to prevent or suppress the intrusion of the liquid and chips from the outside, but also to suppress abrasion of a sliding portion between the plunger and the body. Moreover, at the same time, it can be noted that the effect of suppressing the lateral motion is also high because the second sealing means is arranged in a position distant from a bottom of the sealed-type lash adjuster.
  • a predefined effect can be achieved as described above by providing the second sealing means shown in the present invention.
  • the communication hole is provided in addition to the second sealing means, even if a liquid has intruded from the outside into the clearance, the liquid that has intruded can be drained through the communication hole. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to more appropriately prevent or suppress the liquid that has intruded from being mixed into the liquid sealed inside. Also, according to the present invention, as a result of application of the second sealing means described above, it is also possible to reduce an increase in internal pressure of the clearance by using the communication hole.
  • the present invention has a structure in which the communication hole is inclined upward from the outer wall surface of the body toward the inner wall surface thereof in a state in which a central axis line of the body is parallel to the vertical line with the open end portion of the body pointed upward.
  • the present invention may have a structure in which the communication hole is inclined upward from the outer wall surface of the body toward the inner wall surface thereof in an in-use state. Also, in the case of draining the liquid that has intruded from the outside, it is more preferable that the communication hole is inclined as in the present invention. According to the present invention, a risk that a fluid reversely intrudes through the communication hole into the clearance can also be appropriately reduced.
  • the expression "in an in-use state” refers specifically to "in a state in which an internal combustion engine assembled with the sealed-type lash adjuster is operated.”
  • the present invention may have a structure that further includes, in the communication hole, one-way flow allowing means that prevents flow of the fluid from the outer wall surface of the body toward the inner wall surface thereof. According to the present invention, it can be completely prevented that the fluid intrudes from the outside through the communication hole.
  • the present invention can provide a sealed-type lash adjuster that is capable of preventing or suppressing a liquid from intruding from the outside and also the liquid that has intruded from the outside from being mixed into a liquid sealed inside.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a structure of a sealed-type lash adjuster (hereinafter also called simply a lash adjuster) 100A according to the present embodiment.
  • the lash adjuster 100A is structured to include a body 1, a plunger 2, a check valve 3, a plunger spring 4, a first sealing member (first sealing means) 5, a ball plug 6, and a cap retainer 7.
  • the body 1 is a member having a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and the plunger 2 is slidably inserted in the cylinder in the direction parallel to a central axis line thereof.
  • This cap retainer 7 for restricting protrusion of the plunger 2 is arranged at an end portion of the body 1.
  • the cap retainer 7 is structured to function as a retainer for the plunger 2 but not to function to seal a liquid that is going to intrude from the outside.
  • the plunger 2 is a circular column-shaped member, inside which is provided with a reservoir chamber 10. Note that the reservoir chamber 10 may be provided in an appropriate shape.
  • a filling hole 2a for filling oil (liquid) is provided on the end side of the plunger 2.
  • the ball plug 6 for sealing the filled oil and gas is pressed into this filling hole 2a.
  • a specified quantity of oil is filled, and the remaining space of the reservoir chamber 10 is taken up by gas (for example, air obtained from manufacturing atmosphere). Silicone oil, for example, can be applied as a sealed oil.
  • a communication hole 2b communicating with a high-pressure chamber 11 is provided at the rear end portion of the plunger 2.
  • the check valve 3 is arranged at this communication hole 2b.
  • the high-pressure chamber 11 is provided on the rear end side of the plunger 2, and the plunger spring 4 is arranged in this high-pressure chamber 11.
  • the check valve 3 opens to allow only the movement of the oil from the reservoir chamber 10 to the high-pressure chamber 11 when the plunger spring 4 urges the plunger 2 so as to protrude toward the front end side, and shuts off the movement reverse thereto.
  • a recycling hole 2c communicating from a sliding surface to the reservoir chamber 10 is provided so that an open portion on the side of the reservoir chamber 10 is always located on the side nearer to the high-pressure chamber 11 than an oil surface L of the oil, in the in-use state.
  • the oil surface L is shown in a state inclined by a mounting angle ⁇ in FIG. 1 because the lash adjuster 100A according to the present embodiment is assembled to the internal combustion engine 50 in a state inclined by the mounting angle ⁇ relative to the vertical direction (refer to FIG. 6A ).
  • This mounting angle ⁇ is an angle formed by the central axis line of the lash adjuster 100A and the vertical line on the plane including these two lines.
  • the state in which the lash adjuster 100A has been assembled at an inclination of the mounting angle ⁇ as described above corresponds to the in-use state.
  • the recycling hole 2c is provided toward the central axis line in a manner orthogonal to the central axis line.
  • a groove portion 2d is provided around a full circumference at the same height (in the same position in the sliding direction) as that of the recycling hole 2c.
  • a groove portion 2e is provided around a full circumference on the side nearer to the front end in the sliding direction than the groove portion 2d.
  • a first sealing member 5 for preventing external oil leakage is arranged in this groove portion 2e. This first sealing member 5 seals a small clearance between the body 1 and the plunger 2 on the side nearer to the front end than the recycling hole 2c.
  • An X-seal for example, can be applied as the first sealing member 5.
  • any appropriate sealing means such as other parts for sealing purposes may be applied.
  • the lash adjuster 100A also has a second sealing member 20A in the present embodiment.
  • This second sealing member 20A has a structure to prevent or suppress intrusion of engine oil (liquid) from the outside. More specifically, the second sealing member 20A is provided so as to be capable of preventing or suppressing the engine oil from intruding into a clearance K that is provided between an open end portion of the body 1 and the plunger 2.
  • the second sealing member 20A is formed and arranged so as to slidably seal a portion of the plunger 2 exposed out of the body 1 (more specifically, a portion exposed out of the body 1, or further exposed out of the cap retainer 7 in the state in which the plunger 2 is most depressed, which is hereinafter simply called an exposed portion) and to cover the clearance K.
  • the second sealing member 20A is provided with a one-end portion 20aA and an other-end portion 20bA, specifically as sealing parts having a function to prevent or suppress the intrusion of the engine oil from the outside.
  • rubber is applied as a material of the second sealing member 20A.
  • any appropriate material may be applied to the second sealing member 20A.
  • the second sealing member 20A is formed and arranged as described below. Note that, as a reference, FIG. 2 partially shows an enlarged view of the structure of the lash adjuster 100A shown in FIG. 1 , with the second sealing member 20A and a communication hole 1a to be described later as essential parts.
  • the second sealing member 20A is formed in a ring shape, and bonded through vulcanization to the upper surface of the cap retainer 7 around the full circumference thereof.
  • this bonded portion through vulcanization corresponds to the one-end portion 20aA. Therefore, by assembling the cap retainer 7 to the body 1, the second sealing member 20A is indirectly fixed in close contact to the body 1 through the cap retainer 7. Consequently, the one-end portion 20aA functions as a sealing part to prevent the intrusion of the engine oil.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows, in a cross section, the state of the cap retainer 7 before being assembled to which the second sealing member 20A is bonded through vulcanization.
  • the second sealing member 20A is formed in a lip shape at the other-end portion 20bA located on the inner circumferential side.
  • the other-end portion 20bA further provides an insert hole S for passing the exposed portion of the plunger 2 through itself. Therefore, by assembling the cap retainer 7 to the body 1 after fitting this insert hole S to the exposed portion of the plunger 2, the other-end portion 20bA closely contacts the exposed portion. Consequently, the other-end portion 20bA functions as a sealing part to prevent the intrusion of the engine oil, thereby slidably sealing the exposed portion. Accordingly, as a result of the above, the one-end portion 20aA and the other-end portion 20bA of the second sealing member 20A can prevent or suppress the engine oil from being mixed from the outside into the oil sealed inside.
  • the second sealing member 20A is arranged so as to cover the clearance K at the same time. Therefore, it is also possible to effectively prevent or suppress intrusion of fine chips and so forth. Moreover, because lateral motion of the plunger 2 can be suppressed by the second sealing member 20A, it is also possible to suppress abrasion of the sliding portion between the plunger 2 and the body 1. Furthermore, by providing the second sealing member 20A, it becomes also possible to simplify the structure of the first sealing member 5. Specifically, it is also possible to apply, for example, a seal with a single lip instead of the X-seal, as the first sealing member 5.
  • the second sealing means is achieved by the second sealing member 20A in the present embodiment, it can also be understood that the second sealing means is achieved by the cap retainer 7 serving as means for preventing the plunger from coming off and the second sealing member 20A. That is, the second sealing means may be composed of a plurality of components as just described. In this case, the second sealing means results to be directly fixed in close contact to the body 1.
  • a one-end portion provided by the second sealing means may be directly or indirectly fixed in close contact to the body 1 in an appropriate manner such as by swaging, by welding, or by tightening of rubber itself, and an other-end portion provided by the second sealing means may be formed not only into a lip shape but also into any other appropriate shape, as far as the exposed portion can be slidably sealed.
  • the lash adjuster 100A provided with the second sealing member 20A can prevent or suppress the engine oil from intruding from the outside and being mixed into the oil sealed inside.
  • the lash adjuster 100A is further provided with the communication hole 1a for draining the engine oil that has intruded into the clearance K to the outside. Therefore, this communication hole 1a will next be described in detail.
  • the communication hole 1a has not only a function to drain the engine oil that has intruded into the clearance K to the outside, but also a function to suppress an increase in internal pressure of the clearance K closed by the second sealing member 20A.
  • the communication hole 1a is provided in a portion of the body 1 located on the side nearer to the open end portion than the first sealing member 5 (more specifically, a portion providing the clearance K), in a manner communicating an inner wall surface of the body 1 with an outer wall surface thereof.
  • the communication hole 1a is achieved as a small hole of a circular opening.
  • any appropriate shape such as a slit can be applied to the communication hole 1a.
  • the cap retainer 7 is provided with a relief portion J of a notch shape for avoiding the communication hole 1a from being clogged, as shown in FIG. 4 . Note that the relief portion J may be formed into any appropriate shape.
  • the lash adjuster 100A rotates around the central axis thereof in the state of having been assembled to the internal combustion engine 50 (more specifically, a cylinder head 30), that is, in the in-use state.
  • the lash adjuster 100A is assembled to the cylinder head 30 at an inclination of the mounting angle ⁇ relative to the vertical line.
  • the communication hole 1a located at the lower side than the central axis line of the body 1 in the in-use state.
  • the body 1 is provided with four of the communication holes 1a, as shown in FIG. 5B .
  • any appropriate number of the communication holes 1a may be provided, and it is also preferable to provide, for example, three as shown in FIG. 5A , or six as shown in FIG. 5C , of the communication holes 1a.
