Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydraulic camshaft and its control system, in particular, it relates to a hydraulic electromagnetic camshaft for automobile engines.
  • hydraulic systems are widely employed in these solutions. Although compared with electromagnetic control, hydraulic system involves less design complexity, it requires longer execution time. Therefore, the conventional hydraulic system only remains preferable choice for engines where no very quick instantaneous response is required.
  • one technical object of the present invention is to provide a hydraulic camshaft and its control system, which feature simple structure and quick response.
  • another technical object of the present invention is to provide a hydraulic camshaft and its control system, which enables the variation of the gas valve lift so as to improve engine performance accordingly
  • This invention provides a hydraulic camshaft comprising a front-end of camshaft and a camshaft body, wherein an integrated hydraulic assembly is provided between the front end of the camshaft and the camshaft body; said hydraulic assembly enables the hydraulic camshaft move along its axial direction.
  • Said integrated hydraulic assembly is capable of causing the hydraulic camshaft move 10mm along the axial direction.
  • Said hydraulic camshaft also comprises driving cams and a signal cam, and the driving cams are composed of two different kinds of cams, and they are selected corresponding to the axial position of the camshaft.
  • Said integrated hydraulic assembly comprises an oil hole, a guide groove and an oil chamber, the oil hole communicating with the external oil channel and leading through to the oil chamber.
  • the oil pressure in the oil chamber determines the axial position of the camshaft; the guide groove is connected with the camshaft, and it limits the axial movement of the camshaft.
  • Said integrated hydraulic assembly of the present invention is also provided with an ECU and a solenoid valve, which control the oil pressure in the oil chamber jointly.
  • a hydraulic electromagnetic camshaft comprising a front-end of camshaft, a camshaft body, a solenoid valve and an ECU, wherein an integrated hydraulic assembly is set between the front-end of camshaft and the camshaft body and enables the hydraulic camshaft move along its axial direction.
  • Said integrated hydraulic assembly includes an oil hole, a guide groove and an oil chamber, wherein the oil hole communicates with an external oil channel and leads through to the oil chamber, the oil pressure in the oil chamber determines the axial position of the camshaft; the guide groove is connected with the camshaft and limits the axial movement of the camshaft, and the ECU and the solenoid valve jointly control the oil pressure in the oil chamber.
  • the hydraulic control system of the above recited hydraulic camshaft comprises a solenoid valve and an ECU, which operates jointly to control the hydraulic pressure in the integrated hydraulic assembly.
  • each cylinder of the engine is provided with a cylinder hydraulic unit.
  • first cylinder, the second cylinder, the third cylinder and the fourth cylinder are respectively provided with a first cylinder hydraulic unit, a second cylinder hydraulic unit, a third cylinder hydraulic unit and a fourth cylinder hydraulic unit.
  • the hydraulic control system also comprises a sensor, which detects and transfers the detected signal to the ECU.
  • the ECU issues signals to the solenoid valve, based on which the solenoid valve control the oil pressures of the oil channels in the four hydraulic units corresponding to the four cylinders respectively.
  • Said sensor is a cam phase sensor, which detects the phases of the signal cam.
  • the operation status of the hydraulic units of each two neighboring cylinders is opposite to each other, that is, when the first cylinder hydraulic unit and the third cylinder hydraulic unit are switched on; the second cylinder hydraulic unit and the fourth cylinder hydraulic unit are switched off. Such status shift occurs when the cam of each cylinder rotates to the base circle position in orders.
  • the present invention primarily has the following characteristics:
  • the cam shift in each cylinder is implemented sequentially based on the hydraulic system recited above so that the cam shift control is optimized and a quick engine response is thus realized.
  • the present invention enables that the cam shift may only occur in some selective cylinders according to specific operation requirements for the engine. That is, the technical solution provided in the present invention applies for engines that involve selective cylinder deactivation.
  • the present invention Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
  • the present invention features simple and practical structure; the gas intake valve lift may be alternated between two levels so that engine performance, fuel efficiency and emission reduction are improved. More specifically: due to the variable gas intake valve lift, the engine performance is remarkably improved, and exhaust emission and fuel consumption of the engine according to present invention is obviously lower than other engines having the same displacement;
  • the present invention features simple and compact structure, which is desirable, for it involves very slight volume change of the whole engine; On the basis that each cylinder is independently controlled, control modes are flexible and diversified. The torque output of the engine running at low speed is improved.
  • FIG 1 is the sectional view of the hydraulic camshaft of the present invention
  • FIG 2 is the sectional view of the hydraulic assembly unit in switched-off status

  • FIG 4 is the schematic diagram of the overall hydraulic system of present invention.
  • the hydraulic camshaft and its control system provided by the present invention mainly includes a hydraulic electromagnetic camshaft, a solenoid valve 13, a cam phase sensor 15 and an ECU 14.
  • ECU 14 When the engine runs in high and intermediate load, ECU 14 respectively issues four groups of shift signals to the solenoid valve 13 corresponding to the signals of the cam phase sensor 15.
  • the solenoid valve 13 then changes the oil pressure of the oil channels in the four hydraulic units on the camshaft.
  • the status of the hydraulic units of every two neighboring cylinders is opposite to each other, that is to say, when the first cylinder hydraulic unit 9 and the third cylinder hydraulic unit 11 are switched on, the second cylinder hydraulic unit 10 and the fourth cylinder hydraulic unit 12 are switched off; such on-off shift occurs when the cam of each cylinder rotates to the base circle position in orders.
  • the whole cycle of such a shift is described as follows:
  • the oil pressure in the first cylinder hydraulic unit 9 reduces; simultaneously the oil pressure in the second cylinder hydraulic unit 10 increases, so that the cam shift of the first cylinder is completed;
  • the oil pressure in the third cylinder hydraulic unit 11 reduces; simultaneously the oil pressure in the fourth cylinder hydraulic unit 12 increases, so that the cam shift of the third cylinder is completed;
