Since the first and second support portions 63b and 63c are connected by the connecting wall 63d, the rigidity of the first and second support portions 63b and 63c can be increased.
- the second connecting portion 62a at the other end of the second link arm 62 is closest to the rocker arm 63 side and is opposed to the second connecting portion 62a in a state where the second connecting portion 62a is closest to the rocker arm 63 side.
- a concave portion 51 is formed on the second link arm 62 so that the second connecting portion 62a of the second link arm 62 can be displaced to a position as close as possible to the rocker arm 63 side. It is possible to set the maximum lift amount of the intake valves 19 as large as possible while enabling the dagger.
- the rigidity of the connecting walls 63d can be increased, and the weight increase of the rocker arm 63 can be suppressed.
- Oil is supplied toward the upper first connection shaft 64 side of the first and second connection shafts 64, 66 connecting one end of the first and second link arms 61, 62 to the rocker arm 63.
- Oil jet 58 is fixedly arranged on the engine body 10, and the oil lubricated between the upper first link arm 61 and the rocker arm 63 of the first and second link arms 61, 62 flows down. As a result, the space between the lower second link arm 62 and the rocker arm 63 is lubricated. Therefore, a lubricating structure that is simple and has a reduced number of parts can be used to lubricate both the connecting portions of the rocker arm 63 and the first and second link arms 61 and 62, thereby ensuring smooth valve operation.
- the rocker arm 63 is provided with a first support portion 63b formed in a substantially U-shape so as to sandwich both the force and the roller 65 on both sides.
- the first connecting portion 61a at one end of the first link arm 61 is
- the oil jet 58 is rotatably connected to a first support portion 63b via a first connection shaft 64 that supports the roller 65, and the oil jet 58 is formed by a mating surface of the first link arm 61 and the first support portion 63b. Since the oil is supplied to the engine main body 10 so as to supply the oil toward the roller 65, the shaft supporting portion of the roller 65 can also be lubricated.
- An oil jet 58 is provided on a cap 45 of an intake cam holder 46 provided on the engine body 10 so as to rotatably support the intake cam shaft 31 provided with the valve cam 69.
- the oil jet 58 is used to supply a sufficiently high pressure and a sufficient amount of oil by using an oil passage for lubricating between the intake camshaft 31 and the intake cam holder 46. it can.
- an oil jet 58 having an ejection hole 58b at the tip of the pipe 58a is provided such that the pipe is located more inward than the periphery of the combustion chamber 15 in a projection on a plane orthogonal to the cylinder axis.
- the tip of oil jet 58a is arranged on the cap 45 of the engine body 11 on both sides of the cylinder so that the tip of the oil jet 58a is close to the oil supply site from both sides of the cylinder. Thus, oil can be reliably supplied to the supply portion.
- the intake valves 19 are urged in the valve closing direction by the valve springs 24.
- the force arm 63 has a rocker arm urging spring 54 different from the valve springs 24.
- the roller 65 is urged in the direction in which the roller 65 is brought into contact with the valve operating cam 69, so that even when the intake valves 19 are closed, the roller 65 of the mouth lock 63 does not separate from the valve operating cam 69.
- the control accuracy of the valve lift at the time of the minute valve opening of 19 ... can be improved.
- a rocker arm biasing spring 54 is one of a fixed support shaft 67 and a movable shaft 68a that rotatably support the other ends of the first and second link arms 61 and 62, and in this embodiment, It is a coil-shaped torsion spring surrounding the fixed support shaft 67.
- the installation space of the rocker arm urging springs 58 can be reduced, and the valve operating device can be compact.
- a pair of support bosses 53, 53 that support the fixed support shaft 67 also hold the other end of the first link arm 61 with both sides of the force, so that the support walls 44a of the intake cam holder 46 of the engine body 10 ...
- the rocker arm biasing spring 54 is provided between the engine body 10 and the rocker arm 63 so as to surround the two support bosses 53, 53, so that the pair of support bosses 53, 53 form the first link arm. While restricting the movement of the fixed support portion 61b at the other end of 61, the influence of the contraction of the rocker arm urging springs 54 ... on the fixed support shaft 67 is avoided so that the rocker arm urging springs 54 ... ⁇ Compact arrangement is possible.
- a cylindrical fixed support portion 61b is provided so that the outer periphery is disposed inward of the outer periphery of the rocker arm urging springs 54 in side view,
- the rocker arm biasing springs 54 fall on the fixed support portion 61b side at both axial ends of the fixed support portion 61b so that the fixed support portion 61b is rotatably supported by the fixed support shaft 67.
- a plurality of protrusions 56, 57 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rocker arm biasing springs 54 from falling down while suppressing an increase in the size of the fixed support portion 61b, and to increase the support rigidity of the fixed support portion 61b.
- the protrusions 56, 57 are arranged so as to avoid the operating range of the second link arm 62, the protrusions 56, 57 are provided on the fixed support 61b. Therefore, the operation range of the second link arm 62 can be sufficiently ensured.
- variable lift mechanism 33 includes a crank member 68 having a movable shaft 68a and a support shaft 68c having an axis parallel to the movable shaft 68a protruding from both ends of the connecting plate 68b. Since the support shaft 68c is rotatably supported by the head cover 16 of the engine body 10, the movable shaft 68a can be easily displaced by rotating the crank member 68 about the axis of the support shaft 68c. The mechanism for displacing the movable shaft 68a by the cutter motor 72 can be simplified.
- FIG. 12 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, and the same reference numerals are given to portions corresponding to the first embodiment.
- the engine body 10 has an oil supply means for supplying oil to a first connection shaft 64 (see the first embodiment) connecting one end of the first link arm 61 to the other end of the rocker arm 63.
- a first connection shaft 64 see the first embodiment
- the periphery of the combustion chamber 15 is projected on a plane perpendicular to the cylinder axis (a plane parallel to the plane of FIG. 12).
- the oil jet 58 is attached to the cap 45 of the engine body 10 on one side of the cylinder so that the tip of the pipe 58a is disposed inward of the oil jet 58.
- the tip of the oil jet 58 is brought closer to the oil supply portion from one side of the cylinder, and the number of the oil jets 58 is reduced, and the oil is reliably supplied to the supply portion. be able to.
