Patented Mar. 1, 1938 PATENT OFFICE- 2.109.809 INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE "Cornelius W. Van Ranst, Detroit, Mich., assignor to Packard Motor Car Company, Detroit, Mich., ,a corporation of Michigan :Application June 22, 1932, Serial No. 618,653 9 Claims. (01. 123-410).
This invention relates to internal combustion engines and particularly to the valve mechanism thereof.
The invention is'an improvement upon such valve take-up mechanisms as are shown in British patent Almen No. 289,468, U. S. patent to Bollee No. 1,062,580, and U. S. patent to Favary No. 1,669,161. In .the Almen patent the'cylinder must be constantly supplied with oil or other liquid and it must beusedin an upright position with the open end of the cylinder at the top- 'In the Bollee patent there is no. sealing of the device andair is necessarily present within it. It also can be 'usedin a'nupri'ght position only as otherwise the liquid would leak outor the air would reachthe high pressure side of the piston and makev the device useless. In Favary a diaphragm .offlarge diameter is used and is impracticable for the extremely high pressures 2o necessary for adeviceof this sort.
One of the objects of this invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the various .prior art patents. andto provide a take-up device that will operate" without. liquid replenishment and pref- 25 erably in any position.
' Another object of the invention is to provide a valve: take-up device that will occupy very little room in its-operative comiecti on with an eccentrically mounted rocker arm sleeve.
' 30 Another object of the invention is to provide a 'valveltake-up mechanism having its chamber completely filled with liquid and having an expansible chamber capable of compensating for piston movement and for differences in internal 35 pressuredue to changes in temperature.
Other objects of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawing, which forms a part of this specification, and in which: i
40 Fig. 1 is an elevationview showing a valve rocker armof an internal combustion engine together withits mounting and a take-up device made in accordance with this invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail sectional view 5- through the take-up device shown in Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 33 ofFig. 2.
Referring to the drawing, It) represents a push red, It a valve. and I2 the valve spring, of an 13 is a rocker arm is the means through which the push rod operates the valve against the action of its spring l2.
The rocker arm 13 is supported through a bear- 55 ing 14 upon a bearing sleeve 15, which sleeve in turn is eccentrlcally mounted upon a hollow shaft l8. Lubrication may be supplied to the parts "through the opening in the shaft. The sleeve I5 is formed with a flange H at one end and this flange has an arm or extension 18 by which the 5 sleeve may be turned on the shaft 16.
It will be seen that if the arm I8 is pushed upwardly, thus tending to rotate the sleeve 15 I in a clockwise direction as shown in Fig. 1, there will be a tendency to bodily move the rocker arm 10 I3 downwardly, thus closing. any gap that may exist between the ends of the rocker and the push rod 10 and valve II respectively. Conversely, any upward pressure on either end of the rocker 13 will tend to push the arm 18 downwardly and 15 if this pressure is not resisted the eccentric mounting will permit of a gap between the end of the rocker arm and the valve II when the latter is closed on its seat.
But the downward pressure of the arm I8 is 20 resisted and a constant upward pressure is applied to said arm l8 by a take-up mechanism indicated generally at A in Figs. 1 and 2. This mechanism'is preferably mounted on any suitable part of the engine adjacent to the sleeve 15 so that its operating end may be in contact with the arm l8 and thus constantly press the arm to rotate the sleeve IS in the desired direction, with a pressure, however, less than that exerted by the spring 12 of the valve ll so'that there will be no tendency on the part of the take-up mechanism to open that valve.
This take-up mechanism A is in the form of a self-contained unit and it comprises a cylinder 20 closed at one end as at Hand open at the opposite end. This part of the device is mounted on the engine as suggested above.
Within the cylinder is a piston 22 preferably fitted to the cylinder so that there is slight leakage when there is heavy pressure -on the top of 40 thepiston. In this way the piston forms a dashpot in the cylinder.
Between the closed end of the piston and the end 2| of the cylinder is a spring 23 which tends to constantly press the piston upwardly as shown in Fig. 2. The lower end of the piston has a passage or by-pass 24 controlled by a valve 25 which opens downwardly or into the lower end of the cylinder. A light spring 26 tends to keep the valve 25 closed, the upper end of the spring 26 abutting against a flanged sleeve 21 held in place by a split ring 28 in an annular groove in the stem of the valve 25.
Seated upon a shoulder 50 at the open end of the piston is a piston stem 29 having a guide passage 30 for the upper end of the valve 25.
7 small passage 32 formed in the upper end oi the valve stem to permit the passage of air or liquid as the case may be. This piston stem 29 in effect forms the upper end or extension of the piston 22.
An expansible liquid tight connection is provided between the upper end of the cylinder and the upper end of the piston, and in the form shown this connection comprises a longitudinally expansible tube 33 having one end connected to the upper end 01' the cylinder as at 34. This tube is substantially the same diameter as the cylinder and thereby forms an expansible extension of the cylinder. A similar but smaller expansible tube 35 has its lower or inner end connected to the piston or to the piston stem as at 36. The upper adjacent ends of the tubes 33, 35 are interconnected by a plate 31 which has a central opening 33 to fit over the upper end of the stem 23. Thus the plate 31 is connected to the tube 33 as at 39 and to the tube 35 Mat 40.
The device is intended to be completely filled with a liquid such as oil or glycerine, a plugged opening 4| being shown in the stem 29 and a plugged opening 42 being shown in the plate 31, for this purpose. The liquid is pumped in through one opening and the air is ejected through the other.
, It will be seen that the stem 29 projects slightly above the plate 31 and the take-up device is so mounted that the upper end of this stem is in contact with the arm 18 as shown in Fig. 1. In this position the spring 23 pressing against the lower end of the piston 22, constantly presses the arm l8 upwardly and consequently tends to rotate the sleeve IS in a clock-wise direction, thus tending to take up any play that-may exist between the rocker arm l3 and the push rod I and valve II. In case of expansion of the parts so that there is abnormal downward pressure on the arm 18 through the eccentric mounting, the stem 29 and consequently the piston 22 are pushed downwardly against the spring 23 and there is some leakage of oil past the piston. Later, when the parts are cold, so that contraction has taken place, the spring 23 will push the piston upwardly and the valve 25 will open and permit the free passage of oil from the upper part of the piston and cylinder into the lower part of the cylinder. Thus an equilibrium is established. The flexible connection between the upper ends of the cylinder and piston not only permits the relative movement between those parts but it also takes care of the expansion and contraction of the oil within the device.
It is essential for most efflcient operation that the parts be assembled in such manner as to exclude air from the device. Thus if air enters the closed end of the cylinder, even in extremely small quantity, downward movement of the piston accompanied by compression of this air is likely to occur on the transmission of thrust through the device, thus defeating the purpose of the fiuid system. If air is present at any point in th fluid system, it is likely that an emulsion of a r and liquid will form which will result eventually in the introduction of air into the closed end of the cylinder in the form of minute bubbles, the quantity of bubbles thus introduced being eventually sufllcient to adversely affect the operation of the device. It will be appreciated,
however, that the structure disclosed herein ofstood that my invention is limited to the exact details of the construction, as it will be apparent that changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit or scope of my invention.
