Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing J exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Referring first to FIGS. 2 and 3, the present invention provides a decompression device of an intemal combustion engine. The decompression device 2 is mounted to a camshaft 3 and is adjacent to an exhaust cam 31 of the camshaft 3.
The decompression device 2 comprises a base disk 21, a counterweight rocking am 22, an elastic element 23, a decompression camshaft 24, and an axie 25.
The base disk 21 is integrally formed with the camshaft 3, or can altematively be a separate component that is mounted to the camshaft 3 through interference fitting, in such a way that the base disk 21 is adjacent to the exhaust cam 31. More specifically, the base disk 21 is mounted at a location that is distant from an intake cam 32 and beside the exhaust cam 31. In other words, the intake cam 32, the exhaust cam 31, and the base disk 21 are arranged on the camshaft 3 in such an order. The base disk 21 comprises, formed therein, an axle hole 211, an elongate curved constraint hole 212 that is formed at a portion opposite to the axle hole 211, and a through hole 213 and a fitting slot 214 that has an outward-facing opening respectively formed in portions between the axle hole 211 and the constraint hole 212. It is noted that in case that the base disk 21 is formed as a separate component mounted to the camshaft 3 through interference fitting, the through hole 213 is composed of a cutoff 21a formed by partly recessing the base disk 21 and a receiving groove 33 formed by partly recessing the camshaft 3.
The counterweight rocking am 22 comprises a curved body. The counterweight rocking arm 22 has one end in which a rotary axle hole 221 is formed in such a way that the rotary axle hole 221 corresponds to the axle hole 211 of the base disk 21. The counterweight rocking am 22 comprises a retention hole 222 formed therein at a location adjacent to the rotary axle hole 221 and the counterweight rocking am 22 also comprises, at an end thereof opposite to the retention hole 222, a channel 223 formed in a surface thereof that faces the base disk 21 and having an opening facing outward. The channel 223 is delimited by two substantially parallel surfaces. An extension section 224 extends from an outside of the channel 223 and the extension section 224 has an end from which a constraint block 225 projects sideways. In other words, the counterweight rocking am 22 comprises an outward-projecting constraint block 225 formed in an end thereof that is opposite to the rotary axle hole 221.
The elastic element 23 has an end attached to the fitting slot 214 of the base disk 21. The elastic element 23 has an opposite end that is attached to the retention hole 222 of the counterweight rocking am 22.
The decompression camshaft 24 comprises a base section 241. The decompression camshaft 24 also comprises a cam section 242 extending from the base section 241 in a direction toward the exhaust cam 31. The cam section 242 has a surface that forms a circular curved face 2421 and an opposite surface that forms a flat planar face 2422. The cam section 242 comprises a rotary shaft section 243 extending from an end thereof. The base section 241 of the decompression camshaft 24 comprises a push peg section 244 extending from a surface that is opposite to the cam section 242.
The axie 25 has an end received in the axie hole 211 of the base disk 21.
The axle 25 has an opposite end received in the rotary axle hole 221 of the counterweight rocking arm 22.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, assembly of the decompression device 2 of the present invention is carried out as follows. A receiving groove 33, which has an upperend that is open, is formed in the camshaft 3 at one side of the exhaust cam 31.
A shaft hole 311 is formed in the end of the camshaft 3 that is distant from the intake cam 32 is also formed in the portion of the exhaust cam 31 in which the receiving groove 33 is formed. The base disk 21 of the decompression device 2 is mounted to the camshaft 3 at a location adjacent to the exhaust cam 31. The decompression camshaft 24 of the decompression device 2 is inserted into the through hole 213 in such a way that the rotary shaft section 243 of the decompression camshaft 24 is received in the shaft hole 311 of the camshaft 3. And, then, an end of the axle 25 is inserted into the axle hole 211 of the base disk 21. Finally, the counterweight rocking am 22 is fit to the axle 25 with the rotary axle hole 221 thereof in such a way that the constraint block 225 of the counterweight rocking arm 22 is slidably received in the constraint hole 212 of the base disk 21 and an end of the elastic element 23 is attached to the fitting slot 214 of the base disk 21 and an opposite end of the elastic element 23 is attached to the retention hole 222 of the counterweight rocking arm 22.
Meanwhile, the push peg section 244 of the decompression camshaft 24 is slidably positioned in the channel 223 of the counterweight rocking am 22. As such, the counterweight rocking am 22 is allow to oscillate about an oscillation center defined by the axle 25 and the decompression camshaft 24 is driven by the counterweight rocking am 22 to rotate in the receiving groove 33, about a center defined by the rotary shaft section 243 for an angular range of around 90 degrees. Also, the circular curved face 2421 of the cam section 242 of the decompression camshaft 24 is allowed to partly project outside the receiving groove 33 of the camshaft 3 to be slightly beyond a basic circle of the exhaust cam 31. As such, the assembly of the decompression device 2 is completed.
For the operation of the decompression device 2 according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, at the moment when the internal combustion engine A is not started, since the circular curved face 2421 of the cam section 242 of the decompression camshaft 24 of the decompression device 2 is partly projecting beyond the basic circle of the exhaust cam 31, it pushes away an exhaust rocker am (not shown in the drawings) to set an exhaust valve is a condition of being slightly opened.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 6, at the moment when the intemal combustion engine A is just started, the counterweight rocking am 22 of the decompression device 2 is driven by a centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the camshaft 3 to oscillate about the oscillation center defined by the axle 25, whereby when the counterweight rocking arm 22 oscillates, the counterweight rocking am 22 forces the push peg section 244 of the decompression camshaft 24 to move with the channel 223 so as to make the decompression camshaft 24 rotating in the receiving groove 33 of the camshaft 3 about a rotation center defined by the rotary shaft section
243. In other words, the circular curved face 2421 of the cam section 242 of the decompression camshaft 24 is rotated to move into the receiving groove 33, while the flat planar face 2422 of the cam section 242 of the decompression camshaft 24 is rotated to move out of the receiving groove 33, whereby the cam section 242 of the decompression camshaft 24 no longer projects beyond the basic circle of the exhaust cam 31 and thus, the decompression camshaft 24 no longer pushes the exhaust rocker arm away.
Since the constraint block 225 of the counterweight rocking am
22 is received in the constraint hole 212 of the base disk 21, the interaction between the constraint block 225 of the counterweight rocking acm 22 and the constraint hole 212 of the base disk 21 provides a limitation to the angular range of the rotation of the decompression camshaft 24.
An effect of the present invention is that the counterweight rocking am 22 has an end in which a rotary axle hole 221 is formed in such a way that the rotary axle hole 221 corresponds to an axle hole 211 of the base disk 21; the counterweight rocking am 22 comprises a retention hole 222 formed therein at a location adjacent to the rotary axle hole 221 and a channel 223 is formed in an end of the counterweight rocking am 22 that is opposite to the retention hole 222 and has an opening facing outward; the counterweight rocking am 22 comprises a constraint block 225 formed in the end thereof that is opposite to the rotary axie hole 221 and projecting outward in such a way that the constraint block 225 is received in the constraint hole 212 of the base disk 21; the decompression camshaft 24 comprises a base section 241 and the decompression camshaft 24 comprises a cam section 242 extending from the base section 241 in a direction toward the exhaust cam 31 and having a diameter less than that of the base section 241; the cam section 242 has a surface forming a circular curved face 2421 and an opposite surface forming a flat planar face 2422; the cam section 242 has an end that from which a rotary shaft section 243 extends; and the base section 241 of the decompression camshaft 24 comprises a push peg section 244 extending therefrom to be opposite to the cam section 242 in such a way that the push peg section 244 is insertable into the channel 223 of the counterweight rocking am 22. As such, the counterweight rocking am 22, when driven by a centrifugal force induced by the rotation of the camshaft 3 to oscillate, drives the decompression camshaft 24 to rotate in the receiving groove 33 of the camshaft 3, so that to be applicable to an internal combustion engine A of a different engine displacement (namely having a camshaft 3 having a different outside diameter), the decompression device 2 is directly usable by simply changing the location of the receiving groove 33 in a radial direction of the camshaft 3 whereby there is no need to make a new design of the decompression device 2 and the universality of the decompression device 2 is enhanced to thereby improve the effectiveness of use of the decompression device 2.
Another effect of the present invention is that with the arrangement of the cam section 242 of the decompression camshaft 24, the rotary shaft section 243 and the push peg section 244 can be arranged axially so as to effectively reduce the size of the decompression device 2 in a radial direction.
A further effect of the present invention is that with the arrangement that the constraint block 225 of the counterweight rocking atm 22 is received in the constraint hole 212 of the base disk 21, the maximum range of oscillation of the counterweight rocking arm 22 can be determined so that through interaction between the constraint block 225 of the counterweight rocking arm 22 and the constraint hole 212 of the base disk 21, the angular range of rotation of the decompression camshaft 24 is limited by which, on the one hand, the weight of the base disk 21 can be reduced and, on the other hand, breaking of the push peg section 244 of the decompression camshaft 24 can be prevented.
Yet a further effect of the present invention is that with the arrangement that the counterweight rocking am 22 comprises a curved body and the counterweight rocking arm 22 comprises an extension section 224 that extends from the outside of the channel 22 with a constraint block 225 projecting sideways from an end of the extension section 224, the moment of inertia and the operability of the counterweight rocking arm 22 are improved.
Yet a further effect of the present invention is that with the amangement that the channel 223 is delimited by two substantially parallel surfaces, the machining of the channel 223 is eased.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the f present invention.
