DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rocker arm made of composite material.

高速回転時に油膜切れが生じやすく且つ面圧も40

耐摩耗性を付与している。しかしながら、従来の
鋳鉄製ロツカーアームは比重が大きいために慣性

要があり、製作費が高くなり、かつ、重量が大で
あるためエンジン回転数をあげることができない
欠点があつた。
Loker arms used in internal combustion engine valve mechanisms have traditionally been made of cast iron, and the sliding part with the cam is made of cast iron.
Oil film tends to run out during high-speed rotation, and the surface pressure is 40
Since it exceeds Kg/mm 2 , it is chilled using a chilled metal to give it wear resistance. However, conventional cast iron Rotsuker arms have high inertia due to their high specific gravity, which necessitates doubling the springs, which increases production costs, and because they are heavy, it is difficult to increase the engine speed. There was a drawback that I couldn't do it.

エンジンの軽量化及び回転数の向上を図るため
には、ロツカーアームを軽量にすることが要望さ

In order to reduce the weight of the engine and increase the rotation speed, it is necessary to make the rocker arm lightweight, and the parts that slide on the cam must be strong and have sufficient wear resistance. be done.

In order to meet the above requirements, it is preferable that the rocker arm body be made of a light alloy, such as an aluminum alloy, and the part part be made of a wear-resistant alloy, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-98014. However, the wear-resistant part materials conventionally provided have a high specific gravity, so in order to reduce the weight of the part material, the volume of the part must be reduced, but back metals such as aluminum alloy have low strength and hardness. Therefore, the pad material itself must have the strength and toughness to withstand the impact load caused by the operation of the rocker arm. Therefore, the pad material is required to have the following properties.

(1) 抗折力で60Kg/mm2以上の強度を有すること。
即ち、パツト部の面圧が40Kg/mm2以上に高くな
ることがあり、かつ、運転中に打撃を受けるた
め、60Kg/mm2以上の抗折力が必要である。
(1) Must have a transverse rupture strength of 60Kg/mm 2 or more.
That is, the surface pressure of the pad portion can be as high as 40 Kg/mm 2 or more, and since it is subjected to blows during operation, a transverse rupture strength of 60 Kg/mm 2 or more is required.

However, in order to mass produce parts with the shape and size of part materials, powder metallurgy must be used for reasons such as manufacturing man-hours, yield, and productivity, and therefore part materials are made of sintered alloys. However, the transverse rupture strength of the sintered alloy is generally 60 Kg/mm 2 or less, which does not reach the above-mentioned desired value. Although high-speed steel sintered alloys have excellent strength (transverse rupture strength 70Kg/mm 2 ), they must be sintered in a vacuum or H 2 gas, and must be powder forged after sintering. In order to increase the density, it is necessary to carry out tedious and time-consuming processes, which is impractical.

(2) 密度が6.8g/cm3以上であること。(2) Density must be 6.8 g/cm 3 or higher.

密度が6.8g/cm3より低いと、面圧が高いた
めに摩耗が多くなり、又、ピツチングが起る。
If the density is lower than 6.8 g/cm 3 , the surface pressure is high, resulting in increased wear and pitting.

(3) 硬度がHRC30以上であること。(3) Hardness must be H RC 30 or higher.

硬度がHRC30以上ないとヘタリ摩耗を起し、
かつ、摩耗粉がパツト面とカム間にはさまれて
損耗、焼き付きを起す。
If the hardness is not H RC 30 or higher, permanent wear will occur.
In addition, wear particles are caught between the part surface and the cam, causing wear and seizure.

(4) Many carbides and composite carbides are precipitated.

In order to provide the characteristic (3) above to prevent wear, seizure, and pitting of the cam during sliding, it is necessary to precipitate carbides and composite carbides and impart wear resistance to these parts.

(5) 焼結時の変形が可能な限り少ないこと。(5) Deformation during sintering should be as small as possible.

変形が多いと加工代が多くかかり、コスト高
になる。
If there is a lot of deformation, there will be a lot of processing cost, which will increase the cost.
