Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately control the tension of a timing belt of an engine with simple structure. SOLUTION: An electronic control unit U computes the rotation angle vibrational displacement quantity from the rotating state of a cam pulley 4o detected by a rotating state detecting means S1 , and controls a tensioner 7 on the basis of the rotation angle vibrational displacement quantity to adjust the tension of a timing belt 5. The rotation angle vibrational displacement quantity corresponds to deviation between standard pulse outputted from the rotating state detecting means S1 on the assumption that the cam pulley 4o is rotated at constant angular velocity without rotational fluctuation, and measured pulse actually outputted from the rotating state detecting means S1 , and is a parameter in the proportional relation to the static tension of the timing belt 5. The static tension of the timing belt 5 can be controlled to the appropriate value by controlling the tensioner 7 so that the rotation angle vibrational displacement quantity is kept in a specified range.

By the way, the timing belt 5 has a characteristic that if the static tension given by the tensioner 7 is insufficient, the service life is shortened, and if the static tension is excessive, noise increases. To achieve both noise prevention, it is necessary to control the static tension applied to the timing belt 5 within a predetermined range. However, when the engine E is stopped, the timing belt 5
Even when the static tension of the engine E is set to an appropriate value, when the engine E is operating, a change in the center distance between the crankshaft 1 and the camshafts 4i and 4o due to thermal expansion of the engine block,
Since the timing belt 5 elongates due to the load, the static tension of the timing belt 5 deviates from an appropriate value. Therefore, it is necessary to control the tensioner 7 so that the static tension of the timing belt 5 has an appropriate value according to the operating state of the engine E. Since it is difficult to directly detect the static tension of the timing belt 5 rotating during the operation of the engine E, the present invention employs a tensioner based on the rotational angular vibration displacement that is correlated with the static tension of the timing belt 5. 7 is performed.

Since in practice the load cam receives from the rocker arm in accordance with the rotation of the cam pulley 4o varies periodically, the cam pulley 4o is not able to rotate at a constant angular velocity, the waveform of the pulse signal rotation state detecting means S 1 is actually output Indicates that the phase is advanced or delayed as shown by the broken line. The electronic control unit U calculates the absolute value of both the plus and minus amplitudes of the deviation between the standard pulse indicated by the solid line and the measured pulse indicated by the broken line, and calculates the maximum value as the rotational angular vibration displacement.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 3A, the static tension and the dynamic tension of the timing belt 5 are inversely proportional. That is, when the static tension of the timing belt 5 is increased by the tensioner 7, the timing belt 5 becomes in a state where there is little play with respect to the cam pulley 4o. Tension decreases. Conversely, when the static tension of the timing belt 5 is reduced, the dynamic tension increases. And
As shown in FIG. 3B, the dynamic tension of the timing belt 5 generated with the rotation fluctuation of the cam pulley 4o is proportional to the rotation angular vibration displacement.
As shown in (C), the static tension of the timing belt 5 has an inversely proportional relationship with the amount of rotational angular vibration displacement. Therefore, if the tensioner 7 is controlled such that the rotational angular vibration displacement is within a predetermined range, the timing belt 5
By keeping the static tension within a predetermined range, it is possible to achieve both extension of life and prevention of noise.

The graph of FIG. 4 is a specific example of the graph of FIG. 3C. When the rotational angular vibration displacement becomes 0.5 ° or less, the actuator 8 of the tensioner 7 is retracted to adjust the timing. Reduce the static tension of the belt 5,
By increasing the static tension of the timing belt 5 by advancing the actuator 8 of the tensioner 7 when the rotational angular vibration displacement amount becomes 1.5 ° or more, the static tension of the timing belt 5 can be controlled within a desired range. Some 2kgf-13

The reason for calculating the rotational angular vibration displacement based on the state where the engine speed is 3000 rpm is as follows. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotational angular vibration displacement increases as the engine speed increases.
When the rotation speed exceeds the critical rotation speed, the rotational angular displacement decreases. This is because when the engine speed increases and exceeds the critical speed, the expansion and contraction of the timing belt 5 does not follow the change in the dynamic tension, and the proportional relationship in FIG. That is, unless the rotation angular vibration displacement amount is calculated at an engine rotation speed lower than the critical rotation speed, the relationship in FIG.

The critical rotation speed changes in accordance with the distance between the shafts of the crankshaft 1 and the camshafts 4i and 4o. When the distance between the shafts is 300 mm in general, the critical rotation speed becomes approximately 4000 rpm. For this purpose, the engine speed (e.g., 300 rpm or less) that is equal to or less than the critical speed of 4000 rpm.
By calculating the rotational angular vibration displacement amount at 0 rpm), accurate control of the tensioner 7 becomes possible.
