FOLLOWER Filed April 22, 1950 3nnentor (Ittornegs United States Patent FOLLOWER John Dickson, Huntington Woods, Mich assignor to General Motors Corporation, Detroit, M1ch., a corporation of Delaware Application April 22, 1950, Serial No. 157,611
Claims. (Cl. 74-569) The invention relates to internal combustion engines and particularly to cam and follower mechanisms for operating valves, fuel injection devices, etc. in such engines.
One object of the invention is to provide an improved cam follower of light weight and economical construction comprising an assemblage of three members in series thrust transmitting relation, the intermediate member being in the form of an elongated rod and the end members being in the form of cups receiving and laterally supporting the respective ends of the rod.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cam and roller follower mechanism wherein the roller is provided with a bore bellmouthed at opposite ends to accommodate deflection of its journaling member during the cam lift stroke, and the rolling contact surfaces of the cam and roller are crowned to accommodate axial misalignment between the roller and the cam.
The means by which these and other objects of the invention are attained will be better understood from a reading of the following description, having reference to the drawings wherein:
Figure l is an elevational sectional view of a portion of an internal combustion engine showing my improved cam and follower mechanism associated therein for operating a fuel injection pump.
Figure 2 is an enlarged view taken in section on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Referring now to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates generally the frame of an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head 2, cylinder casing 3 and plunger-type fuel injector pump 4. The plunger 6 of the pump is arranged to be reciprocated by the engine camshaft 7 through a roller follower -mechanism 8, upper push rod 10 and rocker 11.
The follower 8 comprises a lower push rod 9, the lower end of which abuts and sockets in the end wall of a cup-shaped member 12 which is slidably reciprocable in the bore 13 of a bushing fixed in the engine casing 3. The lower end of the upper push rod 10 similarly abuts the end wall of an inverted cup member 14 which, in turn, socketably receives and abuts the upper end of the lower push rod 9, and is similarly slidably reciprocable in the bore 13.
The lower end of the cup-shaped member 12 terminates in a pair of spaced-apart depending arms 21 and 22 which support the respective ends of a roller shaft 20. The shaft 20 is preferably cylindrical throughout its length and is retained end-wise by spun-over lips 23 and 24 integral with the arms 21 and 22.
The roller 30, which may be formed as one piece, or of separate rim and bushing portions 31 and 32, is adapted to rotate about the shaft 20 and to be guided endwise thereof by the inner faces of the arms 21 and 22. The bore of the roller or of its bushing 32 has a section 35 intermediately of its length freely fitting the cylindrical surface of the shaft 20, and toward each ice end thereof from the section 35 the bore is bellmouthed as shown at 36 and 37.
When the cam causes load to be transmitted through the roller 42 to the shaft 20, it will deflect as a beam supported by the arms 21 and 22. If the bushing 32 is made with parallel bore, then the outside bearing surface of bushing 32 will be subjected to high concentration of load, causing possible destruction of the oil film with subsequent damage to bearing and shaft. By making the bushing bellmouthed giving the bushing a curvature similar to that of the deflected shaft under maximum load, then a distribution of load on the oil film results. The greater the load, the greater the shaft deflection, with resulting greater distribution of the load over the bearing surface. The action of the shaft as it deflects in the bellmouthed bearing is that of an oil pump, oil being drawn in and pumped out during each period of unloading and loading.
The cam 40 on the camshaft 7 has its follower lifting surface crowned as shown at 41, and the peripheral external surface of the roller 30 is similarly crowned as shown at 42. The crowning of these surfaces allows the roller and cam to have unrestrained rolling engagement with each other during cocking of the roller about its shaft 20.
The upper push rod 10 has a pivotal connection at 15 to the rocker 11 and is biased toward the camshaft at all times by a compression spring 16, the upper and lower ends of which are retained by washers abutting the cylinder head at the shoulder 17 and the conical shoulder 18 on the upper rod 10.
