Definitions
- Apparatus for transferring a movement from a rocker arm to a valve in a combustion engine and a combustion engine comprising such an apparatus
- the present invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1 for transfer of control motion from a rocker arm to a combustion engine valve arrangement controlled by the rocker arm.
- the invention also relates to a combustion engine comprising such a device.
- a conventional combustion engine of piston type a so-called piston engine, is provided with one or more cylinders.
- a piston In each cylinder a piston is adapted to moving to and fro under the action of the pressure which occurs upon ignition of a fuel-air mixture introduced into the cylinder.
- each cylinder In a piston engine of four-stroke type, each cylinder is provided with at least one inlet valve via which the fuel-air mixture is drawn into the cylinder, and at least one exhaust valve via which combustion gases are removed from the cylinder.
- the inlet valve and exhaust valve are each spring-loaded to a closed position and are each movable from closed to open position by the action of a control cam on a rotating camshaft.
- the control cam is normally adapted to acting upon the valve via a so-called rocker arm which may itself be connected to the valve via a motion transfer device comprising a so-called ball pin and a so-called elephant foot.
- the ball pin is fastened to one end of the rocker arm and is accommodated pivotably in a cup-shaped portion of the elephant foot, thereby constituting a ball joint.
- the elephant foot has a bottom surface via which the elephant foot abuts slidably against a support surface of a valve stem or valve yoke.
- a rocker arm provided with a motion transfer device of this type is referred to in, for example, US 2002/0139337 Al.
- a pivoting motion of the rocker arm is converted to a linear motion of the valve stem/valve yoke.
- the bottom surface of the elephant foot will slide a short distance to and fro on said support surface.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device for transfer of control motion from a rocker arm to a combustion engine valve arrangement controlled by the rocker arm, which device has good lubrication characteristics.
- said object is achieved by means of a device exhibiting the features indicated in claim 1.
- the device according to the invention comprises a first motion transfer means intended to be fastened to a rocker arm, and a second motion transfer means which in conjunction with the motion transfer means constitutes a ball joint and which has a bottom surface via which the second motion transfer means is intended to abut slidably against a support surface of a valve arrangement.
- the first motion transfer means may for example take the form of a ball pin and the second motion transfer means the form of an elephant foot.
- Said first and second motion transfer means have mutual contact surfaces so designed that the motion transfer means are in contact with one another, thereby delineating, via an annular contact line between said contact surfaces, a space between the first motion transfer means and the second motion transfer means, the second motion transfer means being provided with a lubricant duct which has an inlet aperture facing towards said space and an outlet aperture facing towards said bottom surface.
- the second motion transfer means is provided with one or more depressions which are set in said bottom surface and are connected to the outlet aperture of the lubricant duct, whereby said one or more depressions have a combined area in the propagation plane of the bottom surface which is larger than the area of the circle formed by the annular contact line which delineates the space between the first motion transfer means and the second motion transfer means.
- the depression or depressions in the bottom surface is/are designed to receive lubricant from the lubricant duct which extends through the second motion transfer means.
- the lubricant pressure in the space between the motion transfer means acts against surfaces of the motion transfer means and thereby gives rise to hydraulic pressure forces which endeavour to push the motion transfer means apart from one another. These pressure forces will thus endeavour to push the second motion transfer means towards the support surface of the valve arrangement even when the rocker arm is relieved of load and moves away from the support surface, thereby counteracting the outflow of lubricant from the lubricant duct of the second motion transfer means and hence counteracting the effective lubrication of the slide surfaces between the second motion transfer means and the support surface.
- the invention also relates to a combustion engine comprising a device according to the present invention.

- Fig. 7 depicts a schematic plan view of the bottom surface of the device according to Figs. 1-3 as viewed in the direction of the arrow VII in Fig. 2.
- Fig. 1 illustrates schematically a valve arrangement 1 forming part of a combustion engine, and engine parts which are connected to, and intended to control, this valve arrangement.
- the valve arrangement comprises two valve means 2a, 2b which are connected by their respective valve stems 3a, 3b to a common valve yoke 4.
- the valve means 2a, 2b take the form of conventional inlet valves or exhaust valves of the combustion engine.
- the valve means 2a, 2b are spring-loaded to a closed position, upwards in Fig. 1 , by the action of one or more undepicted spring means.
- the valve means 2a, 2b are jointly movable by the valve yoke 4 from closed to open position, downwards in Fig.
- a control cam 5 which is connected to, for joint rotation with, a rotating camshaft 6 and therefore rotates together with the camshaft.
- the control cam 5 is adapted to acting upon the valve yoke 4 via a rocker arm 7 which is supported pivotably by a spindle 8. At its one end 7a, on one side of the spindle 8, the rocker arm is connected in a conventional manner to the control cam 5 by a pushrod 9.
- the rocker arm 7 might alternatively be arranged so that its end 7a abuts directly against the control cam 5.
- the rocker arm is connected to the valve yoke 4 via a device 10 which is adapted to transferring a control motion from the rocker arm 7 to the valve arrangement 1, more specifically by converting a pivoting motion of the rocker arm to a linear motion of the valve arrangement.
- the device 10 converts a clockwise pivoting motion of the rocker arm 7 to a downward linear motion of the valve yoke 4 and the valve means 2a, 2b in order thereby to move the valve means 2a, 2b from closed to open position against the action of the abovementioned spring means when the pushrod 9, under the action of the control cam 5, moves upwards from the position depicted in Fig. 1.
- the device 10 comprises a first motion transfer means 11 intended to be fastened to said second end 7b of the rocker arm, and a second motion transfer means 12 adapted, in conjunction with the first motion transfer means 11 , to constituting a ball joint.
- the first motion transfer means 11 has its one end 11a fitted in a recess 7c in the rocker arm and has its opposite second end 1 Ib abutting against the second motion transfer means 12.
- the second motion transfer means 12 has a bottom surface 12a via which the second motion transfer means is intended to abut slidably against a support surface 4a of the valve arrangement 1. In the example illustrated, said support surface is arranged on the valve yoke 4.
- the motion transfer means 11, 12 have mutual contact surfaces 1 Ic, 12c (see Fig. 2) so designed that the motion transfer means are in contact with one another in such a way as to delineate, via an annular contact line 13 between said contact surfaces, a space 14 between the first motion transfer means 11 and the second motion transfer means 12.
- the motion transfer means 11, 12 are in contact with one another via a convex contact surface 1 Ic of the one motion transfer means 11 and a corresponding concave contact surface 12c of the other motion transfer means 12.
- the first motion transfer means 11 has the convex contact surface l ie and the second motion transfer means 12 has the concave contact surface 12c, as illustrated in Figs. 1-5, but the opposite case would also be possible.
- the convex contact surface 1 Ic is with advantage spherical and the concave contact surface non-spherical, preferably ogival, as illustrated in Fig. 1-5.
- the convex contact surface might be non-spherical, preferably ogival, and the concave contact surface spherical.
- the first motion transfer means 11 has a ball- shaped portion 1 Id which comprises said convex contact surface l ie.
- This ball- shaped portion 1 Id is accommodated pivotably in a cup-shaped portion 12d of the second motion transfer means 12.
- the cup-shaped portion 12d comprises said concave contact surface 12c.
- the ball-shaped portion 1 Id is insertable in the cup-shaped portion 12d via the upper aperture of the cup-shaped portion.
- the first motion transfer means 11 takes in this example the form of a ball pin, while the second motion transfer means 12 takes the form of a so-called elephant foot.
- the first motion transfer means 11 is provided with a lubricant duct 15 which has an outlet aperture 15b facing towards the space 14 between the motion transfer means 11 , 12, for introducing lubricant into that space.
- This lubricant duct 15 further has an inlet aperture 15a connected to a lubricant duct 16 extending through the rocker arm.
- the rocker arm's lubricant duct 16 may for example be adapted to being supplied with lubricant, e.g. lubricating oil, via the rocker arm's spindle 8, as illustrated in Fig. 1.
- the lubricant duct 15 of the first motion transfer means extends with advantage centrally through the first motion transfer means in the latter' s longitudinal direction.
- the ball-shaped portion 1 Id of the first motion transfer means 11 has in the examples illustrated in Figs. 1-5 a flattened lower end surface in which the outlet aperture 15b of the lubricant duct 15 is arranged.
- the second motion transfer means 12 is provided with a lubricant duct 17 which has an inlet aperture 17a facing towards the space 14 between the motion transfer means, and an outlet aperture 17b facing towards the bottom surface 12a of the second motion transfer means.
- This lubricant duct 17 is intended to convey lubricant from the space 14 between the motion transfer means to the bottom surface 12a of the second motion transfer means.
- the lubricant duct 17 extends with advantage centrally through the second motion transfer means 12.
- the inlet aperture 17a is arranged in the deepest part of the cup-shaped portion 12d, while the outlet aperture 17b is arranged in the centre of the bottom surface 12a.
- the second motion transfer means 12 is provided with one or more depressions 18, 18' which are set in the bottom surface 12a and are connected to the outlet aperture 17b of the lubricant channel 17 extending through the second motion transfer means.
- a depression being described as set in the bottom surface 12a means here that the depression is surrounded by a portion of the bottom surface via which the bottom surface is intended to abut slidably against the support surface 4a of the valve arrangement 1 so that the depression's wall surfaces can act as pressure surfaces for the lubricant pressure in a manner which will be described in more detail below.
- Said one or more depressions 18, 18' have in the propagation plane of the bottom surface a combined area Al (see Fig. 7) which is larger than the area A2 of the circle formed by the annular contact line 13 which delineates the space 14 between the motion transfer means 11, 12.
- the depression 18 takes the form of a relatively shallow recess in the bottom surface with a substantially planar bottom 18a.
- This recess is with advantage circular with a diameter dl which, as viewed in the propagation plane of the bottom surface, is larger than the diameter d2 of the circle formed by the aforesaid circular contact line 13, as illustrated in Fig. 7.
- the depression 18 takes the form of a recess in the bottom surface with the shape of a truncated cone which broadens towards the bottom surface 12a and which connects at its top to the outlet aperture 17b of the lubricant duct 17.
- each depression takes the form of an elongate groove 18' in the bottom surface.
- the respective grooves 18' extend with advantage in a radial direction from the outlet aperture 17b of the lubricant duct 17, as illustrated in Fig. 6, and may for example have a semi-circular cross-sectional shape.
- they should together comprise in the propagation plane of the bottom surface an area which is larger than the area of the circle formed by the aforesaid annular contact line 13.
- annular contact line 13 is represented by a broken line.
- first motion transfer means 11 When the first motion transfer means 11 is pushed downwards towards the second motion transfer means 12, they are initially in contact with one another along an annular contact line. Increasing the application pressure between the first motion transfer means 11 and the second motion transfer means 12 will cause their mutual contact surfaces 1 Ic, 12c to undergo a certain plastic deformation whereby the initial line contact between the motion transfer means changes to mutual contact via a contact surface with the shape of an annular band. In this position the lower edge of this annular band constitutes the annular contact line 13 which delineates this space 14 between the motion transfer means. The pivoting movement of the rocker arm 7 and the first motion transfer means 11 will result in the second motion transfer means 12 being pushed downward towards the support surface 4a and at the same time sliding somewhat sideways along this support surface.
- the second motion transfer means 12 will therefore be pushed upwards by the upward hydraulic pressure force, resulting in its bottom surface 12a rising somewhat from the support surface 4a so that lubricant via the outlet aperture 17b of the lubricant duct 17 can flow along the whole bottom surface 12a.
- Said depression 18 or depressions 18' thus ensure effective lubrication of the mutual slide surfaces between the second motion transfer means 12 and the valve arrangement 1.
- the device according to the invention can of course be adapted to transfering control motion from a rocker arm to a valve arrangement which comprises only one valve means.
- the aforesaid support surface is with advantage arranged directly on the valve stem connected to the valve means.
- the device according to the invention may further be adapted to transfering control motion from a rocker arm to a valve arrangement which takes the form of a conventional fuel injection valve for a combustion engine.
- the device according to the invention is particularly intended to form part of a combustion engine of piston type, e.g. for a vehicle such as a passenger car, a truck, a bus or the like.
