Definitions
- the invention relates to a medium-heavy-duty diesel and natural gas engine, in particular to a braking device for an electric engine.
- Auxiliary braking systems for vehicles are mainly divided into two types: a retarder and an engine braking system.
- the engine braking system is widely used because of its simple structure, convenient installation, low price and other advantages.
- the engine braking technology refers to that a driver lifts an accelerator pedal and releases a clutch in the running process of an automobile, and the driver brakes the automobile by utilizing the compression resistance generated in a compression stroke of the engine, and a braking force formed by intake and exhaust resistance and a friction force on a driving wheel.
- the application of the engine braking technology effectively reduces the use frequency of a service brake.
- the engine braking can be used to avoid the temperature rise of a brake friction plate, a reduced braking force, and even failed braking caused by a long-time use of the brake.
- a plurality of invention patents relate to the application of the technology.
- the main technology is that one or a plurality of auxiliary lifts are additionally included in a main lift of a cam, and a cam specially used for braking can also be added; and according to the working requirement of the engine, an engine braking device enables the auxiliary lift to act (realizes an engine braking function) or disables the auxiliary lift.
- Patent CN200980158946.8 is a dedicated rocker arm type engine brake filed by Jacobs Vehicle Systems, Inc. and discloses a system for driving an engine exhaust valve comprising a rocker arm shaft having a control fluid supply passage, and an exhaust rocker arm pivotally mounted on the rocker arm shaft.
- the engine brake rocker arm may have a central opening, a hydraulic passage connecting the central opening to a control valve, and a fluid passage connecting the control valve to an actuating piston assembly.
- Patent CN201080019296.1 is a lost motion variable valve actuation system for engine braking and exhaust pre-opening filed by Jacobs Vehicle Systems, Inc., which may include a first cam having a compression release bulge and an exhaust valve opening pre-opening bulge connected to a hydraulic lost motion system having a first rocker arm.
- a hydraulically actuated piston may be selectively extended from the hydraulic lost motion system to provide compression release actuation or exhaust valve pre-opening actuation to the exhaust valve.
- the hydraulically actuated piston may be disposed in a fixed housing as a slave piston in a master-slave piston circuit, or alternatively, slidably disposed in the rocker arm as a hydraulic piston.
- Patent CN 200910140026.5 is an engine braking device with a valve auxiliary control unit and a method for engine braking, filed by German Mann Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., wherein the exhaust valve of braking device is connected to a camshaft by means of a mechanical connecting mechanism comprising a hydraulic valve auxiliary control unit.
- the hydraulic valve auxiliary control unit maintains the exhaust valve in a temporarily opened position.
- the hydraulic valve auxiliary control unit may be switched on and off by means of an auxiliary oil circuit additionally provided with respect to a main oil circuit of an internal combustion engine.
- engine oil is used as a medium for transmitting the motion law of the valve which depends on some characteristics of the engine oil to a great extent.
- the lift of the braking valve may be lost to influence the braking performance.
- the temperature of the engine oil is too low and the viscosity of the engine oil is too high, the normal operation of engine braking can be influenced. Therefore, all of the above engine braking techniques require that the engine braking be intervened when the engine oil temperature is higher than a certain limit value (e.g., 40°C), thus limiting the operating conditions of the engine braking.
- a certain limit value e.g. 40°C

- the electric engine braking device Compared with an existing engine braking device adopting engine oil as a medium for transmitting the motion law of a valve, the electric engine braking device has the following advantages.
Description
- The invention relates to a medium-heavy-duty diesel and natural gas engine, in particular to a braking device for an electric engine.
- Auxiliary braking systems for vehicles are mainly divided into two types: a retarder and an engine braking system. The engine braking system is widely used because of its simple structure, convenient installation, low price and other advantages.
- The engine braking technology refers to that a driver lifts an accelerator pedal and releases a clutch in the running process of an automobile, and the driver brakes the automobile by utilizing the compression resistance generated in a compression stroke of the engine, and a braking force formed by intake and exhaust resistance and a friction force on a driving wheel. The application of the engine braking technology effectively reduces the use frequency of a service brake. When the whole vehicle is running on steep roads such as long slopes, rough mountain roads and the like, the engine braking can be used to avoid the temperature rise of a brake friction plate, a reduced braking force, and even failed braking caused by a long-time use of the brake.
- At present, a plurality of invention patents relate to the application of the technology. The main technology is that one or a plurality of auxiliary lifts are additionally included in a main lift of a cam, and a cam specially used for braking can also be added; and according to the working requirement of the engine, an engine braking device enables the auxiliary lift to act (realizes an engine braking function) or disables the auxiliary lift.
- Patent
CN200980158946.8 - Patent
CN201080019296.1 - Patent
CN 200910140026.5 - According to the engine braking patent, engine oil is used as a medium for transmitting the motion law of the valve which depends on some characteristics of the engine oil to a great extent. When the air content of the engine oil is too high, the lift of the braking valve may be lost to influence the braking performance. In addition, when the temperature of the engine oil is too low and the viscosity of the engine oil is too high, the normal operation of engine braking can be influenced. Therefore, all of the above engine braking techniques require that the engine braking be intervened when the engine oil temperature is higher than a certain limit value (e.g., 40°C), thus limiting the operating conditions of the engine braking. If oil-driven engine braking is used, the time of engine braking intervention and exit is generally longer (> 0.4 s), which has an effect on the transition process between engine braking and an ignition state, resulting in unstable transient transformation process.

- 2. Increasing the service area of engine braking: at present, due to the fact that the engine oil is used as a working medium for a hydraulic or mechanical linkage type engine braking, there are certain requirements on the temperature and the pressure of the engine oil. For example, only when the temperature of the engine oil is required to be greater than 40°C, the engine braking can be intervened, thus limiting the use of engine braking when the whole vehicle just starts. By the use of the electric control mechanism, it is not limited by the conditions, and the engine braking can be used at any time after the whole vehicle is started.
- 3. Shortening the engine braking entry and exit time obviously: in traditional hydraulic or mechanical linkage type engine braking, as engine oil is used as a working medium or a driving control medium, the entry and exit time of engine braking is long, generally with 0.2s-0.4s. Moreover, the engine braking device is driven by an electric control mechanism to complete the switching of positive work and negative work in one revolution of a camshaft, so that the entering and exiting speed of engine braking is increased by 4-5 times.
- 4. Reducing fuel consumption of the engine: by adopting the electric control mechanism, engine oil is not required to serve as a driving medium, the engine oil demand and oil supply capacity of an oil pump can be properly reduced, so that the reduction of fuel consumption is facilitated.

- 1. Eliminating reliability risks caused by using engine oil: an engine braking device is driven by an execution motor and matched by a purely mechanical linkage structure to solve the problems of unstable idling speed and white smoke generation from misoperation of a braking function caused by high engine oil viscosity and pressure when the engine is started;
- 2. Increasing the service area of engine braking: at present, due to the fact that the engine oil is used as a working medium for a hydraulic or mechanical linkage type engine braking, there are certain requirements on the temperature and the pressure of the engine oil. For example, only when the temperature of the engine oil is required to be greater than 40°C, the engine braking can be intervened, thus limiting the use of engine braking when the whole vehicle just starts. By the use of the execution motor driving and with purely mechanical linkage structure matching, the engine braking is not limited by the conditions, and can be used at any time after the whole vehicle is started;
- 3. Shortening the engine braking entry and exit time obviously: in traditional hydraulic or mechanical linkage type engine braking, as engine oil is used as a working medium or a driving control medium, the entry and exit time of engine braking is long, generally with 0.2s-0.4s. Moreover, the engine braking device is driven by an execution motor to complete the switching of positive work and negative work in one revolution of a camshaft with purely mechanical linkage structure matching, so that the entering and exiting speed of engine braking is increased by 4-5 times.
- 4. Reducing fuel consumption of the engine: by adopting the execution motor driving and with the mechanical linkage structure matching, engine oil is not required to serve as a driving medium, the engine oil demand and oil supply capacity of an oil pump can be properly reduced, so that the reduction of fuel consumption is facilitated.
- One skilled in the art will recognize that: although the present invention has been described in accordance with the above specific embodiments, the inventive concept of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
