Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an engine equipped with a decompression mechanism, and to a vehicle.
  • the engine When starting an engine, the engine needs to be rotated with an external force until the start is completed. For example, the engine may be rotated using a starter motor or using a kick starter. Conversely, resistance to the rotation increases because the air inside the cylinder is compressed during the compression stroke of the engine. In order to reduce this resistance, a decompression mechanism is known that reduces the pressure inside the cylinder during the compression stroke while the engine is being rotated using the external force.
  • the decompression mechanism disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2008-128171 includes a decompression cam that alternates between an active state and a release state due to the rotation of a weight.
  • This decompression mechanism is supported by a sprocket on a cam chain.
  • the cam shaft that includes the decompression mechanism needs to be longer in the axial direction.
  • the engine disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2008-64083 , family member of EP 1892388 A1 includes a decompression mechanism that is disposed at a location between both end portions of a cam shaft.
  • the decompression mechanism includes a weight and a decompression cam, and the weight is supported by a supporting shaft in a rotatable manner around the cam shaft.
  • the decompression cam and the weight are connected by a pin and the pin allows the decompression cam to rotate due to the weight rotating around the support shaft.
  • the weight in the decompression mechanism in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2008-64083 is held in a closed state due to the action of a return spring when the cam shaft is not rotating.
  • the decompression cam enters a state that allows an action on an exhaust valve while the weight is in the closed state. Therefore, the pressure inside the cylinder is reduced due to the decompression cam acting on the exhaust valve and opening the exhaust valve when starting the engine.
  • the weight rotates around the support shaft due to centrifugal force.
  • the centrifugal force exceeds the spring force of the return spring and the weight enters an open state.
  • the decompression cam does not act upon the exhaust valve while the weight is in the open state.
  • the decompression mechanism described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2008-64083 is able to effectively use the space between both ends of the cam shaft.
  • the cam shaft that includes the decompression mechanism can be made more compact in the axial direction in comparison to a case in which the decompression mechanism is disposed outside of the cam shaft.
  • the decompression mechanism does not work during starting and the improvement in startability is insufficient in the engine as in the prior art as described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2008-64083 .
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an engine that is able to improve the startability of the decompression mechanism, and a vehicle.
  • the inventors of the present application studied the cause of the decompression not working during starting in the engine according to the prior art. As a result, it can be seen that the weight may already be in an open state when starting the engine. That is, it can be seen that the weight rotates while in the open state when the cam shaft is not rotating.
  • the weight is reduced in size, the mass of the weight is reduced.
  • the magnitude of the centrifugal force acting on the weight becomes smaller in correspondence to the reduction in the mass of the weight if the rotation speed is the same.
  • the centrifugal force acting on the weight at the set rotation speed for initiating the open state of the weight is correspondingly reduced. Therefore, there is a need to reduce the spring force.
  • the location of the weight changes in accordance with the phase of the cam shaft rotation.
  • the cam shaft may stop when the opening direction of the weight and the gravitational force direction are in correspondence.
  • the inventors of the present application came to the conclusion that the moment due to gravitational force acting on the weight becomes greater than the spring force and consequently the weight enters the open state.
  • An engine comprises a cylinder head, an exhaust valve, a valve mechanism, a cam shaft, a bearing, and a decompression mechanism.
  • the exhaust valve is housed inside the cylinder head.
  • the valve mechanism opens and closes the exhaust valve.
  • the cam shaft drives the valve mechanism by coming into contact with the valve mechanism.
  • the bearing supports the cam shaft in a rotatable manner on the cylinder head.
  • the decompression mechanism is disposed between both ends of the cam shaft in the axial direction.
  • the decompression mechanism includes a weight, a return spring, a decompression cam, and a decompression pin. The weight is supported on the cam shaft in a rotatable manner between a closed state and an open state.
  • the return spring urges the weight to return from the open state to the closed state.
  • the decompression cam is provided so as to come into contact with the valve mechanism when the weight is in the closed state, and so as not to come into contact with the valve mechanism when the weight is in the open state.
  • the decompression pin connects the weight and the decompression cam.
  • a straight line that passes through the center of rotation of the cam shaft and the center of rotation of the weight is assumed to be a vertical axis as seen from the axial direction of the cam shaft.
  • a straight line that is orthogonal to the vertical axis and that passes through the center of rotation of the cam shaft is assumed to be a horizontal axis.
  • a direction from the center of rotation of the cam shaft toward the center of rotation of the weight and parallel to the vertical axis is assumed to be a first vertical direction.
  • One direction among the directions parallel to the horizontal axis is assumed to be a first horizontal direction.
  • the direction opposite the first horizontal direction is assumed to be a second horizontal direction.
  • the center of gravity of the weight is disposed in a first region as seen from the axial direction of the cam shaft.
  • the first region is located in the first vertical direction from the horizontal axis and in the first horizontal direction from the vertical axis.
  • the weight includes a first weight portion and a second weight portion.
  • the first weight portion extends from the center of rotation of the weight in the circumferential direction of the cam shaft.
  • a circumferential direction end portion of the first weight portion is located in the first horizontal direction from the vertical axis.
  • the second weight portion extends from the center of rotation of the weight in the circumferential direction of the cam shaft.
  • a circumferential direction end portion of the second weight portion is located in the second horizontal direction from the vertical axis.
  • the first weight portion is longer than the second weight portion in the circumferential direction of the cam shaft.
  • the decompression pin is connected to the first weight portion.
  • the circumferential direction end portion of the first weight portion is located in the first horizontal direction from the vertical axis in the engine according to the present invention. That is, the first weight portion extends so as not to cross the vertical axis in the second horizontal direction. Therefore, the center of gravity of the weight can be provided further away from the center of rotation of the cam shaft in comparison to when the first weight portion extends from a region located in the first horizontal direction from the vertical axis to a location in which the first weight portion crosses the vertical axis in the second horizontal direction. Therefore, the centrifugal force acting on the weight increases if the rotation speed of the cam shaft is the same. As a result, the spring force can be increased whereby the opening of the weight due to gravitational force can be suppressed without raising the set rotation speed.
  • a moment due to the gravitational force acting on the weight can be reduced because the center of gravity of the weight can be provided nearer the center of rotation of the weight. As a result, the opening of the weight due to the gravitational force can be suppressed.
  • the decompression pin is connected to the first weight portion which is longer than the second weight portion.
  • the distance between the decompression pin and the center of rotation of the weight can be increased in comparison to when the decompression pin is connected to the second weight portion.
  • the movement amount of the decompression pin relative to the rotation angle of the weight is increased.
  • the rotation angle of the weight which allows the weight to switch from the closed state to the open state can be reduced.
  • displacement of the locations of the center of gravity of the weight when the weight is in the closed state and when the weight is in the open state can be reduced.
  • the shape of the weight has a higher degree of freedom.
  • the distance between the center of gravity of the weight and the center of rotation of the cam shaft when the weight is in the open state is greater than the distance between the center of gravity of the weight and the center of rotation of the cam shaft when the weight is in the closed state.
  • the weight is able to return to the closed state more easily because the aforementioned displacement of the locations of the center of gravity of the weight when the weight is in the closed state and in the open state can be reduced in the engine according to the present embodiment.
  • the startability of the engine can be improved because the open state of the weight when starting the engine can be avoided more easily as described above in the engine according to present embodiment.
  • the first weight portion preferably includes a first portion and a second portion.
  • the first portion is disposed in a first region as seen from the axial direction of the cam shaft.

  • the circumferential direction end portion of the first weight portion is disposed in the second region as seen from the axial direction of the cam shaft.

  • the decompression pin is more easily provided away from the center of rotation of the weight in comparison to when the end portion of the first weight portion is disposed in the first region.
  • the decompression pin is preferably disposed in the second region as seen from the axial direction of the cam shaft.
  • the end portion of the first weight portion can be disposed in the second region as seen from the axial direction of the cam shaft.

In this case, the distance between the decompression pin and the center of rotation of the weight can be increased.
  • the cam shaft preferably includes an exhaust cam that comes into contact with the decompression mechanism.
  • the exhaust cam includes a cam lobe that protrudes to the outside of a base circle.
  • the center of rotation of the weight is located further toward the inside in a cam shaft radial direction than the base circle of the exhaust cam. In this case, the center of rotation of the weight and the center of gravity of the weight can be brought nearer to each other.
  • the center of rotation of the weight may be located further toward the outside in a cam shaft radial direction than the external peripheral surface of the cam lobe. In this case, the distance between the decompression pin and the center of rotation of the weight can be increased.
  • the weight preferably does not include a portion that is disposed in a third region as seen from the axial direction of the cam shaft.
  • the third region is located in a second vertical direction from the horizontal axis and in a second horizontal direction from the vertical axis.
  • the center of gravity of the weight can be provided further away from the center of rotation of the cam shaft.
  • the center of rotation of the weight and the center of gravity of the weight can be brought nearer to each other.
