이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 1은 본 발명에 따른 행정 전환용 엔진의 흡기밸브 구동장치를 도시한 도면으로서, 밸브스템엔드와 캠(1)의 사이에 설치되어 피스톤(3)과 태핏하우징(5)의 사이에 형성되는 유압실(7)의 용적변화에 의해 캠(1) 표면으로부터 밸브(9)까지의 거리가 변화되도록 설치된 유압태핏유닛(11)과, 상기 유압태핏유닛(11)에 오일을 공급 및 배출시키는 솔레노이드밸브(13)와, 캠포지션센서(15)의 신호를 받아 상기 솔레노이드밸브(9)를 제어하는 컨트롤러를 포함하여 구성된다.1 is a view illustrating an intake valve driving apparatus of a stroke switching engine according to the present invention, which is installed between a valve stem end and a cam 1 and is formed between a piston 3 and a tappet housing 5. The hydraulic tappet unit 11 is installed so that the distance from the surface of the cam 1 to the valve 9 is changed by the volume change of the hydraulic chamber 7, and the solenoid for supplying and discharging oil to the hydraulic tappet unit 11. And a controller for controlling the solenoid valve 9 in response to the valve 13 and the cam position sensor 15.
상기 유압태핏유닛(11)은 본출원인이 이미 출원한 대한민국 특허출원번호 2003-0035594 “엔진의 가변 밸브리프트 장치”의 구성을 거의 그대로 이용하고, 다만, 본 출원에서는 태핏하우징(5)이 항상 캠(1)의 표면에 접촉하여 있는 상태를 가지도록 캠과 유압태핏유닛(11)의 위치관계가 설정되어 있으며, 따라서, 상기 유압실(7)의 용적이 변화하면 피스톤(3)이 하측으로 이동하면서 밸브(9)를 개방시킬 수 있도록 된 점만이 다르다.The hydraulic tappet unit 11 uses the configuration of the Korean Patent Application No. 2003-0035594 "engine variable valve lift device" filed by the present applicant almost as it is, but in the present application, the tappet housing 5 is always cam The positional relationship between the cam and the hydraulic tappet unit 11 is set to have a state in contact with the surface of (1). Therefore, when the volume of the hydraulic chamber 7 changes, the piston 3 moves downward. The only difference is that the valve 9 can be opened.
본 실시예에서 상기 컨트롤러는 캠포지션센서(15)의 신호에 의해 엔진의 2행정 작동시 캠 노우즈(17)가 밸브(9)로부터 가장 먼 구간을 향해 회전하는 동안 상기 솔레노이드밸브(13)를 구동하여, 상기 유압태핏유닛(11)에 오일을 공급한 후, 상기 구간을 빠져 나오는 동안 상기 솔레노이드밸브(13)를 구동하여, 상기 유압태핏유닛(11)의 오일을 배출시키는 엔진ECU(19)로 구성하였다.In this embodiment, the controller drives the solenoid valve 13 while the cam nose 17 rotates toward the furthest section from the valve 9 during the two stroke operation of the engine by the signal of the cam position sensor 15. By supplying oil to the hydraulic tappet unit 11, while driving the solenoid valve 13 while exiting the section, to the engine ECU 19 for discharging the oil of the hydraulic tappet unit 11 Configured.
상기한 바와 같이 구성된 행정 전환용 엔진의 흡기밸브 구동장치의 작동방법을 도 4의 순서도를 참조하여 살펴보면 다음과 같다.The operation method of the intake valve driving apparatus of the stroke switching engine configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4.
엔진ECU(19)는 엔진 작동중에 엔진이 2행정모드로 작동하는지 4행정모드로 작동하는지를 판단하는 행정모드판단단계(S1)를 수행한다.The engine ECU 19 performs the stroke mode determination step S1 for determining whether the engine operates in the two-stroke mode or the four-stroke mode during engine operation.
엔진이 2행정모드로 작동되면, 상기 엔진ECU(19)는 캠 노우즈(17)가 밸브(9)로부터 가장 먼 구간을 향해 회전하는 동안 밸브개방시점이 되면 상기 유압태핏유닛(11)에 압유가 공급되도록 솔레노이드밸브(13)를 구동하는 오일공급단계(S2)를 수행하고, 캠 노우즈(17)가 밸브(9)로부터 가장 먼 구간을 빠져 나오는 동안 밸브폐쇄시점이 되면 상기 유압태핏유닛(11)의 압유가 배출되도록 솔레노이드밸브(13)를 구동하는 오일배출단계(S3)를 수행한다.When the engine is operated in the two-stroke mode, the engine ECU 19 presses the hydraulic pressure on the hydraulic tappet unit 11 at the valve opening point while the cam nose 17 rotates toward the furthest section from the valve 9. Perform the oil supply step (S2) for driving the solenoid valve 13 to be supplied, and the hydraulic tappet unit 11 when the valve closing time while the cam nose 17 exits the section farthest from the valve (9) To perform the oil discharge step (S3) for driving the solenoid valve 13 so that the pressure oil of the.
즉, 캠노우즈(17)가 밸브(9)를 개폐시키는 것이 아니라, 캠노우즈(17)로는 밸브(9)의 개폐가 불가능한 구간에서 상기 유압태핏유닛(11)이 밸브(9)를 개폐시키도록 하는 것이다.That is, the cam nose 17 does not open or close the valve 9, but the hydraulic tappet unit 11 opens or closes the valve 9 in a section in which the cam nose 17 cannot open or close the valve 9. It is.
여기서, 상기 밸브개방시점 및 밸브폐쇄시점은 엔진의 운전상태에 따라서 흡기밸브를 개폐해야 할 시기를 말하는바, 종래의 엔진과 같이 엔진의 다양한 운전조건에 따라 적절히 변동시킬 수 있는 것이다.Here, the valve opening time and the valve closing time refers to the time to open and close the intake valve according to the operating state of the engine, and can be appropriately changed according to various operating conditions of the engine as in the conventional engine.
이렇게 하여 캠노우즈(17)가 밸브(9)를 개폐시키는 것과 상기 유압태핏유닛(11)이 밸브(9)를 개폐시키는 것에 의해 캠노우즈(17)의 1회전에 밸브(9)가 2번 개폐되도록 하여 2행정모드에 필요한 흡기밸브 작동상태를 구현하는 것이다.In this way, the valve 9 opens and closes twice in one rotation of the cam nose 17 by the cam nose 17 opening and closing the valve 9 and the hydraulic tappet unit 11 opening and closing the valve 9. In order to implement the intake valve operating state required for the two-stroke mode.
물론, 엔진ECU(19)가 엔진이 4행정모드로 운전중인 경우에는 상기 유압태핏유닛(11)의 오일이 배출된 상태에서 상기 솔레노이드밸브(13)의 작동을 멈추어서, 캠노우즈(17)가 1회전하는 동안에 1번의 흡기밸브 개폐가 이루어지도록 한다.Of course, when the engine ECU 19 is operating in the four stroke mode, the operation of the solenoid valve 13 is stopped while the oil of the hydraulic tappet unit 11 is discharged, so that the cam nose 17 is stopped. Allow one intake valve to open and close during one revolution.
이와 같은 흡기밸브의 작동에 의해 구현되는 행정 전환용 엔진은 저속에서는 2행정모드로 운전하여 가속성과 추월성을 향상시키고, 고속에서는 4행정모드로 운전하여 연비이득을 구할 수 있게 된다.The stroke switching engine implemented by the operation of the intake valve can be operated in a two-stroke mode at a low speed to improve acceleration and overtaking, and can operate in a four-stroke mode at a high speed to obtain fuel efficiency gains.
이상과 같이 본 발명에 의하면, 4행정모드와 2행정모드를 변환하는 엔진에서 유압태핏유닛을 이용하여, 비교적 간단하고 용이한 방법으로 흡기밸브의 작동모드를 신뢰성 있게 절환하여 각 행정모드에 적합한 흡기밸브 작동상태를 구현할 수 있도록 한다. According to the present invention as described above, by using the hydraulic tappet unit in the engine for switching between the four-stroke mode and the two-stroke mode, the operation mode of the intake valve can be reliably switched in a relatively simple and easy manner, and the intake air is suitable for each stroke mode. Allows the valve to be operated.
