CRANK ANGLE REGULATOR FOR PARALLEL CRANKSHAFT ENGINE
The present invention relates to a crank angle regulator for a parallel crankshaft engine (crank angle regulator for short), and belongs to the field of mechanical, thermal and power engi- neering.
At present, the engine efficiency of a reciprocating piston engine under low and medium loads is much lower than its highest efficiency, resulting in waste of a lot of fuel. Under the low and medium loads, a parallel crankshaft engine (as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12) improves the engine efficiency through closed-cylinder control. In order to make a power stroke distribution of a working cylinder uniform and reduce the vibration of the engine, a crank angle regulator for the parallel crankshaft engine is designed.
The technical solution used by the present invention to solve the technical problem: cylinders of a parallel crankshaft engine are divided into one main cylinder and auxiliary cylinders. (As shown in FIG. 1), a main cylinder crankshaft (1) is directly con- nected with a main cylinder gear (24) and is a power output end of the engine. (As shown in FIG. 11) the main cylinder gear (24) and auxiliary cylinder gears (2) are engaged with each other in se- quence to realize power transmission of all the cylinders of the parallel crankshaft engine.
The crank angle regulator of the parallel crankshaft engine is mounted at one end of an auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4), and is composed of a clutch, a transmission device, and a crank angle regulation device.
The transmission device is mainly composed of a regulation gear (20), an auxiliary cylinder gear (2), and a clutch shell (7) which are in transmission by means of gear engagement. The auxil-
iary cylinder crankshaft (4) is connected with the transmission device through the clutch; the transmission device is engaged with the gears of the cylinders on both sides through the auxiliary cylinder gear (2); and the crank angle regulation device regulates a relative angle between adjacent crankshafts by means of rotating the regulation gear (20).
The present utility model has the beneficial effect that since a worm assembly (17) is fixedly mounted, the crank angle regulation for the parallel crankshaft engine is easier and has higher accuracy.

The crank angle regulator of the parallel crankshaft engine is mounted at one end of an auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4), and is composed of a clutch, a transmission device, and a crank angle regulation device.
The clutch is connected with the auxiliary cylinder crank- shaft (4) and a clutch shell (7) to control their combination and separation. The clutch is composed of the clutch shell (7), a clutch piston (8), a driven disk (14), a driving disk (13), a spring seat (10), a spring (9), an auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4), a retainer ring a (6), a retainer ring b (11), a retainer ring c (12), and a retainer ring f (23). A ringlike hydraulic cyl- inder, an inner gear, and a retainer ring slot are machined in the clutch shell (7) {as shown in FIG. 10). The driving disk (13) (as shown in FIG. 9) is a ringlike steel sheet having a spline in an inner hole. The driven disk (14) (as shown in FIG. 8) is of a cir- cular ring shape, which is provided with gear teeth (matched with the inner gear of the clutch shell (7)) on an outer circular sur- face and friction materials on two side surfaces. One end of the auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4) (as shown in FIG. 2) is a stepped shaft, which is provided with a spline and a retainer ring slot. The clutch (7) is mounted on the auxiliary cylinder crank- shaft (4) and is axially positioned by the retainer ring a (6) and the retainer ring c (12). The clutch (7) may rotate on the auxil- iary cylinder crankshaft (4). The clutch piston (8) is mounted in the hydraulic cylinder of the clutch shell (7) and is matched with the hydraulic cylinder. When it does not work, the clutch piston (8) is located at the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder under the action of the spring (9); the clutch shell (7) is matched with the driven disk (14) through the inner gear; the auxiliary cylin- der crankshaft (4) is matched with the driving disk (13) through the spline; and the driven disk (14) and the driving disk (13) are alternately mounted in the clutch shell (7). The retainer ring f (23) is mounted outside the driven disk (14) and the driving disk (13). During working, a computer controls an electromagnetic valve to supply oil into the hydraulic cylinder through oil passages ar- ranged in a main bearing pedestal (5), the auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4), and other parts. The clutch piston (8) overcomes the elastic force of the spring (2) under the action of the hy- draulic oil to move towards the right to press the driven disk (14) and the driving disk (13) together. The clutch shell (7) and the auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4) are connected together through the driven disk (14) and the driving disk (13), so that the clutch is engaged. When the clutch needs to be disengaged, the computer controls the electromagnetic valve to enable the hydrau- lic oil in the hydraulic cylinder to flow out. The clutch piston (8) moves towards the left under the action of the spring (9) to separate the driven disk (14) from the driving disk (13).
The transmission device is composed of the regulation gear (20), a pinion (22), a small shaft (15), the auxiliary cylinder gear (2), the clutch shell (7), a sliding washer (16), and a re- tainer ring d (19). The regulation gear (20) (as shown in FIG. 5) is provided with gear teeth on the left, is provided with an outer spline and a retainer ring slot on the right, and a round hole in the middle. The regulation gear is mounted on the auxiliary cylin- der crankshaft (4) through the middle round hole, may rotate with respect to the auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4), and is axially positioned by the retainer ring d (19). The gear teeth are engaged with the pinion (22), and the outer spline is matched with the in- ner spline of the turbine (21). (As shown in FIG. 7) The pinion (22) is a cylindrical gear, which is fixed on the auxiliary cylin- der gear (2) by the small shaft (15). The pinion (22) may rotate on the small shaft (15). The small shaft (15) is fixedly connected with the auxiliary cylinder gear (2). The sliding washer (16) is mounted between the pinion (22) and the auxiliary cylinder gear (2). More than one group of pinion (22), sliding washer (16), and small shaft (15) are uniformly distributed on a circle taking the axis of the auxiliary cylinder gear (2) as a center. The pinion
(22) is simultaneously engaged with the regulation gear (20) and the inner gear of the clutch shell (7). The auxiliary cylinder gear (2) is a cylindrical gear provided with a hole in the middle.
Holes used for fixing the small shaft (15) are uniformly distrib- 5 uted on the circle taking the axis as the center. The auxiliary cylinder gear (2) is mounted on the regulation gear (20) by the middle hole, may rotate around the regulation gear, and is simul- taneously engaged with the gears of the cylinders on both sides.
The crank angle regulation device is composed of a worm as- sembly (17), the turbine (21), and a retainer ring e (49). The worm assembly (17) is fixed on an engine rear wall (18) by a screw through a bracket (32). An inner spline is machined in an inner hole of the turbine (21) (as shown in FIG. 6}, and arc-shaped teeth are machined on the outer surface. The turbine is mounted on the regulation gear (20), and its inner spline is matched with the outer spline on the regulation gear (20) and is axially positioned by the retainer ring e (49). A worm of the worm assembly (17) is engaged with the turbine (21). The worm assembly (17) (as shown in
FIG. 3) is composed of the worm, a speed reducer (29), a motor (30), a brake (31), and a bracket (32). The worm is composed of a retainer ring g (25), a slave worm (26), a torsional spring (27), and a master worm (28). The brake (31) (as shown in FIG. 4) is composed of a brake shoe shaft (33), an upper brake shoe (34), a lower brake shoe (39), a brake hub (35), an armature (36), a brake spring (37), and an electromagnet (38). The bracket (32) is a mounting main body for the worm assembly (17), and other parts are all directly or indirectly mounted on it. The worm, the speed re- ducer (29), the motor (30), and the brake (31) are sequentially connected. During working, the motor (30) drives the worm through the speed reducer (29), so as to drive the turbine (21) to rotate.
The slave worm (26) 1s mounted on a shaft of the master worm (28) through a middle hole and is axially positioned by the retainer ring g (25). The torsional spring (27) is arranged between the slave worm (26) and the master worm (28). The torsional spring (27) is used to rotate, when the worm and the worm wheel (21) are assembled, the slave worm (26) a certain angle to generate a pre- tightening force, so as to avoid collision between the worm and the worm wheel during operation of the engine. The brake hub (35) is fixedly connected with a rotor shaft of the motor (30). The up- per brake shoe (34) and the lower brake shoe (39) are mounted on the brake shoe shaft (33) and surround the brake hub (35). The ar- mature (36) is connected with the upper brake shoe (34). The brake spring (37) is arranged on a connection rod of the armature (36).
The electromagnet (38) is connected with the lower brake shoe {39). When the electromagnet (38) loses power, the upper brake shoe (34) and the lower brake shoe (39) enclasp the brake hub (35) under the action of the brake spring (37) so that the motor (30) and the worm are braked. When the electromagnet (38) is electri- fied, the electromagnet (38) attracts the armature (36) to over- come the elastic force of the brake spring (37) to enable the up- per brake shoe (34) and the lower brake shoe (39) to release the brake hub (35) so that the motor (30) and the worm can rotate.
Working process: A four-cylinder parallel crankshaft engine taking cylinder 1 as a main cylinder is taken as an example. The crank angle regulator for the parallel crankshaft engine may have two working states: the first is a normal power transmission state and the second is a crank angle regulation state.
In the normal power transmission state, cylinder 2 is taken as an example. At this time, the clutch of cylinder 2 is engaged, and the worm assembly (17) enables, by means of the turbine (21), the regulation gear (20) to brake. Cylinder 2 works. Power is transmitted to the clutch shell (7) through the auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4) and the clutch of cylinder 2. The clutch shell (7) drives the pinion (22) to roll on the regulation gear (20). The pinion (22) drives, through the small shaft (15), the auxiliary cylinder gear (2) to rotate. The auxiliary cylinder gear (2) transmits the power to the main cylinder gear (24), and the power is then output.
In the crank angle regulation state, it is supposed that cyl- inder 2 is put into operation when cylinders 1 and 4 work. An original acting interval of cylinders 1 and 4 is a 360-degree crank angle. After cylinder 2 is put into operation, an acting in- terval of cylinders 1, 2, and 4 shall be a 240-degree crank angle.
At this time, cylinder 1 works as usual, and cylinders 2 and 4 perform crank angle regulation. Cylinder 2 is used as a new cylin- der put into operation. First, the computer controls the electro- magnetic valve of cylinder 2 to supply oil into the hydraulic cyl- inder through the oil passages arranged in the main bearing pedes- tal (5), the auxiliary cylinder crankshaft (4), and other parts.
The clutch of cylinder 2 is engaged. The auxiliary cylinder crank- shaft (4) of cylinder 2 rotates by means of the transmission de- vice. The computer detects, by means of a camshaft position sensor arranged on the camshaft of cylinder 2, a crankshaft position when cylinder 2 acts. If a deviation between the acting crankshaft po- sition of cylinder 2 and cylinder 1 is not 240 degrees, the com- puter will supply power to the worm assembly (17) of cylinder 2, and the brake (31) and the motor (30) are simultaneously electri- fied. The brake (31) is released from braking, and the motor (30) rotates. The motor (30) drives, by means of the speed reducer (29), the worm, the worm wheel (21), and the regulation gear (20).
The regulation gear (20) drives, by means of the pinion (22), the clutch shell (7), and the clutch, the auxiliary cylinder crank- shaft (4) of cylinder (2) to rotate with respect to the crankshaft of cylinder 1 till the deviation between the acting crankshaft po- sition of cylinder 2 and cylinder 1 is 240 degrees. Cylinder 2 is put into operation after its acting crankshaft position is regu- lated in place. The acting crankshaft position of cylinder 4 is regulated to be the same as that of cylinder 2. If an engine load decreases, a certain cylinder needs to quit. The computer may con- trol an ignition and fuel injection system of this cylinder to stop working. The clutch is disengaged, and the crankshaft and piston of this cylinder stops running.
