Description

4サイクル内燃機関の動弁機構  Valve mechanism of 4-cycle internal combustion engine
技術分野  Technical field
本発明は 4サイクル内燃機関の動弁機構に属するものである。 The present invention belongs to a valve mechanism of a four-cycle internal combustion engine.
背景技術 -.  Background technology-.
従来の 4サイクル内燃機関の動弁機構は弁のリフト時期及びリフト時間及びリフト量が 固定されたものが多く、 この場合機関の必要とする吸気量は絞り弁すなはちスロッ トル バルブにより調節されていた。 In many conventional four-cycle internal combustion engines, the valve lift timing, lift time, and lift amount are fixed. In this case, the intake amount required by the engine is adjusted by a throttle valve or throttle valve. It was.
 Light
また可変機構をもつ動弁機構であってもカム軸の位相を変える弁の開閉時期のみ可 変と力、 カムを複数個用いて運転状態に応糸 じて切り替えるとかであって、 特に吸気弁の 田 1  Even with a valve mechanism with a variable mechanism, only the opening and closing timing of the valve that changes the phase of the camshaft can be changed according to the operating condition using multiple cams, especially the intake valve. The field 1
リフト量を連続的に可変とするものがなかった。  There was nothing that made the lift amount continuously variable.
したがって、 吸気量の調節は前述のようにス書ロッ トルバルブにより行われ、 特に自動 車等における実用運転域である低、 中負荷時には吸気を絞ることによるボンビングロス が大きく発生するために、 機関の効率を著しく低下させ、 燃費の増大、 二酸化炭素の発 生量を増加させていた。 発明の開示  Therefore, the intake air amount is adjusted by the stroke throttle valve as described above. In particular, the engine efficiency is increased because the bombing loss due to the restriction of the intake air occurs at low and medium loads, which is the practical operating range of automobiles. Significantly reduced fuel consumption and carbon dioxide production. Disclosure of the invention
本発明は機関の運転状態によって、 特に弁のリフト量を自在に可変とし、 特に吸 弁に 本発明にかかる動弁機構を用いることにより、 吸気量を弁自体のみで調節することを可 能とすることを目的とするものである。 According to the present invention, the lift amount of the valve can be made freely variable according to the operating state of the engine. In particular, by using the valve operating mechanism according to the present invention for the intake valve, the intake air amount can be adjusted only by the valve itself. It is intended to do.
その結果、 スロッ トルバルブによる調節を不要にすることが出来るために、 低、 中負 荷時のポンビングロスによる損失を低減することが出来る。  As a result, the adjustment by the throttle valve can be made unnecessary, so that the loss due to the pumping loss at low and medium loads can be reduced.
し力、し、 一般的にリフト量を連続的に可変とすることは、 従 の単純な D0HC及び S0HC 機構に何らかの機構及び部材を組み込まなければならず、 複雑な機構、 部材を組み込め ば剛性の低下、 慣性質量の増加により高速時追従性、 性能の低下、 摩擦損失の増加を招 いてしまうものである。  In general, it is necessary to incorporate some mechanism and member into the conventional simple D0HC and S0HC mechanism to make the lift amount continuously variable. Decrease and increase of inertial mass lead to high-speed follow-up, reduced performance, and increased friction loss.
そして、 本発明は上記課題を解決するために、 サイクルごとに直接運動する部材に、 複雑な部材及ぴ形状、 多くのリンク機構を用いることなく、 極めて単純で低コストな部 材を用いること。  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention uses extremely simple and low-cost parts without using complicated members and shapes and many link mechanisms as members that move directly in each cycle.
それによつて、 慣性質量の過大な増加を防ぎ、 動弁機構の高速追従性を低下させないこ と。 As a result, an excessive increase in the inertial mass should be prevented and the high-speed tracking performance of the valve mechanism should not be reduced.
また、 単純な機構とすることにより動弁機構の剛性を維持すること。 Also, maintain the rigidity of the valve mechanism by using a simple mechanism.
その結果、 機関の効率の向上により、 燃費の向上、 二酸化炭素発生量を低減することを 課題とするものである。 この課題を解決する手段を以下に述べれば、 カム軸 3と平行に位置する支持アーム取 付軸 6, 6-1により第一口ッカーアーム 10、 10-1の背面近隣のシリンダへッド部材 7, 7- 1に該支持アーム取付軸 6, 6-1により、 支持アーム 5, 5-1の一端をそれぞれ軸^して回 動自在とする。 ' 該支持アーム取付軸 6, 6-1 の軸中心線 Lは弁閉時に第一口ッカーアーム 10、 10-1 の 背面 10-5、 10-3に近隣する上空を通過するよう.にする。 As a result, improving the efficiency of the engine will improve the fuel efficiency and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide generated. Means for solving this problem will be described below. The cylinder head member 7 in the vicinity of the back surface of the first necker arm 10, 10-1 is supported by the support arm mounting shaft 6, 6-1, which is positioned parallel to the cam shaft 3. , 7-1, the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1 allow the support arms 5 and 5-1 to be pivoted around the ends of the support arms 5 and 5-1, respectively. 'The shaft center line L of the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1 should pass through the sky adjacent to the rear surfaces 10-5 and 10-3 of the first neck arm 10 and 10-1 when the valve is closed.
そして、 支持アーム 5, 5-1の他端を、 前記支持アーム取付軸 6, 6-1と平行に位置する連 結軸 1とそれぞれ結合し、 支持アーム取付軸 6, 6-1を中心として支持アーム 5, 5 - 1及び 連結軸 1がー体として回動可能とする。 Then, the other ends of the support arms 5 and 5-1 are coupled to the connection shaft 1 positioned in parallel with the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1 respectively, and the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1 are the center. Support arms 5, 5-1 and connecting shaft 1 can be rotated as a body.
連結軸 1には第二口ッカ一アーム 19の一端のボス部を軸支して、 該連結軸 1 を中心に して回動自在とする。 A boss portion at one end of the second mouth arm 19 is pivotally supported on the connecting shaft 1 so as to be rotatable about the connecting shaft 1.
そして、 前記支持アーム取付軸 6, 6-1の軸心から連結軸 1の軸心までの距離と同じ距 離の第二ロッカーアーム 19の他端部に、 連結軸 1 と平行にローラーカムフォロアー 11 とそれより小径の第一ロッ力一口一ラーフォロアー 9, 9- 1 を近隣して同心に軸支し、 そ れぞれ回転自在とする。  A roller cam follower parallel to the connecting shaft 1 is connected to the other end of the second rocker arm 19 at the same distance as the distance from the shaft center of the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1 to the shaft center of the connecting shaft 1. 11 and the smaller-diameter first rocking force per bite follower 9, 9- 1 are concentrically supported in the vicinity so that each can rotate freely.
弁閉時の状態に置いて、 ローラーカムフォロアー 11にはカムベース円 4を接触させ、 第一ロッカーローラーフォロアー 9, 9-1には第一ロッカーアーム 10, 10-1の背面にそれ ぞれ接触させ、 この時ローラーカムフォロア一 11及ぴ第一口ッカーロ一ラ一フォロアー 9, 9 - 1の軸心と、 前記支持アーム取付軸 6, 6-1とが同一軸線上にあるようにする  With the valve closed, the cam base circle 4 is brought into contact with the roller cam follower 11, and the first rocker roller followers 9, 9-1 are in contact with the back surfaces of the first rocker arms 10, 10-1, respectively. At this time, the shaft center of the roller cam follower 11 and the first opening car roller follower 9, 9-1 and the support arm mounting shaft 6, 6-1 should be on the same axis.
そして、 上記支持アーム取付軸 6, 6-1を中心として、 支持アーム 5, 5-1及び連結軸 1 を回動させるための駆動機構として、 雄ねじ 16 と雌ねじ 15を用い、 雌ねじ 15を、 連 結軸 1を結合している支持アームボス部に、 連結軸 1 と直角に軸 14により回動自在に 軸支し、 該雌ねじ 15に雄ねじ 16をねじ込む。  Then, male screws 16 and female screws 15 are used as a drive mechanism for rotating the support arms 5, 5-1 and the connecting shaft 1 around the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1. A support arm boss connecting the connecting shaft 1 is pivotally supported by a shaft 14 at a right angle to the connecting shaft 1, and a male screw 16 is screwed into the female screw 15.
該雄ねじ 16は制御モーター 23により駆動可能に軸支し、雌ねじ 15に対して雄ねじ 16 を出入り可能とし、 それによつて前記連結軸 1を回動可能とする。  The male screw 16 is pivotally supported by a control motor 23 so that the male screw 16 can be moved in and out of the female screw 15, thereby enabling the connecting shaft 1 to be rotated.
制御モーター 23はエンジン部材 20に揺動可能に軸結する。 The control motor 23 is pivotally connected to the engine member 20 in a swingable manner.
以上の構成のもと、機関の運転状態に応じて制御モーター 23を駆動することで、連結 軸 1を支持アーム取付軸 6, 6 - 1を中心に回動させることにより、 該連結 1にその一端 を軸支されている第二口ッカーアーム 19の回動中心を移動させる。  With the above configuration, by driving the control motor 23 according to the operating state of the engine, the connecting shaft 1 is rotated about the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1, so that Move the center of rotation of the second necker arm 19 pivotally supported at one end.
それによつて、カムによって駆動されるローラーカムフォロアー 11の運動方向を変化さ せ、 同軸に軸支されている第一ロッカーローラーフォロアー 9, 9-1 の第一ロッカーァー ム 10, 10-1を押し下げる方向の運動分力を増減させる。 As a result, the direction of movement of the roller cam follower 11 driven by the cam is changed, and the first rocker rollers 10 and 10-1 of the first rocker roller followers 9 and 9-1 supported on the same axis are pushed down. Increase or decrease the movement component in the direction.
それによつて、 弁のリフト量を連続的に可変にする 4サイクル内燃機関の動弁機構。 そして本発明の効果を以下に述べれば、 特に予混合機関の吸気弁に本発明の動弁機構を 用いれば、 連続的に弁のリフト量を変えることが出来るために、 機関の運転及び出力の 調整に必要な吸気量を弁自体の開閉のみで調節可能となる。 As a result, the valve mechanism of a 4-cycle internal combustion engine that makes the valve lift variable continuously. The effects of the present invention will be described below. In particular, if the valve operating mechanism of the present invention is used for the intake valve of a premixing engine, the valve lift can be continuously changed. The intake amount necessary for adjustment can be adjusted only by opening and closing the valve itself.
その結果、 従来用いられていたスロットルバルブを用いることなく吸気量の調節が可能 となり、 機関の出力制御が可能となる。 As a result, the intake air amount can be adjusted without using the throttle valve that has been used in the past, and the engine output can be controlled.
そして、 上記の目的を達するための、 サイクルごとに往復運動あるいは揺動運動する 動弁系の部材において、 新たに付加した部材は第二ロッカーアーム 19のみである。  In order to achieve the above object, the second rocker arm 19 is the only newly added member in the valve system that reciprocates or swings in each cycle.
したがって、 動弁機構の慣性質量を、 特に従来の機関の単純な D0HC及び S0HC形式に較 ベて過大にすることなく、 その目的を達成するものである。  Therefore, the purpose is achieved without making the inertial mass of the valve mechanism particularly large compared to the simple D0HC and S0HC types of conventional engines.
また、 サイクルごとに運動する部材に複雑な形状、 多くのリンク機構を用いることなく、 極めて単純な部材第二ロッカーアーム 19 をひとつ付加しただけなので低コストで、 動 弁機構の剛性を高くすることが出来る。 In addition, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the valve mechanism at low cost because only one simple second rocker arm 19 is added without using a complicated shape and many link mechanisms for the member that moves every cycle. I can do it.
さらに、 弁のリフト量の変化が連続的であるので、 作動時の打音がなく高速運転時に も充分な追従性を持ち、 口一ラーフォロアーを用いているので摩擦損失も十分に小さい ものである。  In addition, since the change in the lift amount of the valve is continuous, there is no sound during operation and there is sufficient follow-up even during high-speed operation, and the friction loss is sufficiently small due to the use of a single-hole follower. is there.
さらに、 公知技術であるカム軸の位相可変機構を本発明にかかる動弁機構に用いれば、 弁の開閉時期も合わせて可変になるので弁の可変リフト、 可変タイミングが可能となり その効果は倍増するものである。 Furthermore, if the camshaft phase variable mechanism, which is a known technology, is used in the valve operating mechanism according to the present invention, the valve opening / closing timing can be changed, so that the variable lift and variable timing of the valve are possible, and the effect is doubled. Is.
以上のように、 高速性能を落とさずに低、 中負荷時のボンビング損失による摩擦損失を 低減できることから、 燃費の低減、 二酸化炭素発生量の低減などの地球環境の維持向上 に資するものである。 As described above, friction loss due to low and medium load bombing loss can be reduced without degrading high-speed performance, which contributes to the maintenance and improvement of the global environment, such as reduction of fuel consumption and reduction of carbon dioxide generation.

以下に本発明を実施するための最良の形態を実施例について説明する。 The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to examples.
実施例その 1、 本発明の主要な構成を示す図 1について説明すれば、 カム軸 と平行 に位置する支持アーム取付軸 6により第一口ッカーアーム 10の弁押接部の背面 10-5, これは図 15に記載されている、 に近隣するシリンダへッド部材 7に、 該支持アーム取 付軸 6により支持アーム 5の一端を軸支して回動自在とする。  Example 1 and FIG. 1 showing the main configuration of the present invention will be described. The back arm 10-5 of the valve pressing contact portion of the first necker arm 10 is supported by the support arm mounting shaft 6 positioned parallel to the cam shaft. 15, one end of the support arm 5 is pivotally supported by a cylinder head member 7 adjacent to the cylinder head member 7 by the support arm mounting shaft 6 so as to be rotatable.
支持アーム 6-1 においても上記と同様な位置関係により第一ロッカーアーム 10-1 の背 面 10-3近隣のシリンダへッド部材 7-1に、 該支持アーム敢付軸 6-1により支持アーム 5-1の一端を軸支して回動自在とする。 The support arm 6-1 also supports the cylinder head member 7-1 in the vicinity of the back surface 10-3 of the first rocker arm 10-1 by the support arm with the shaft 6-1 in the same positional relationship as above. Arm 5-1 is pivotally supported by one end.
該支持アーム取付軸 6及び 6-1の軸中心線 Lは一致するようにし、 弁閉時に第一ロッ カーアーム 10及び 10- 1の弁押接部に近隣し、 背面部 10- 5及び KK に近隣する上空を 通過するようにする。  The support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1 should be aligned with the axis center line L. When the valve is closed, it is close to the valve pressing part of the first rocker arm 10 and 10-1, and to the back part 10-5 and KK. Pass through the nearby sky.
そして、 支持アーム 5の他端部分を、 前記支持アーム取付軸 6と平行に位置する連結軸 1 とを結合する。 Then, the other end portion of the support arm 5 is coupled to the connecting shaft 1 positioned in parallel with the support arm mounting shaft 6.
同様に、 支持アーム 5-1の他端部分を連結軸 1と結合する。 Similarly, connect the other end of the support arm 5-1 to the connecting shaft 1.
この場合、 支持アーム 5及び 5-1と連結軸 1との結合は回転自在に軸支してもょレ、が、 本実施例では剛性を確保するために固定し結合する。  In this case, the support arms 5 and 5-1 and the connecting shaft 1 can be rotatably supported. However, in this embodiment, they are fixed and connected to ensure rigidity.
そして、 支持アーム取付軸 6及び 6-1を中心として支持アーム 5及び 5-1と連結軸 1がThe support arms 5 and 5-1, and the connection shaft 1 are centered around the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1.
—体として回動可能とする。 -The body can be rotated.
支持アーム 5と支持アーム 5-1により支持されている連結軸 1において、 支持アーム 5 と支持アーム 5-1の間の連結軸 1には第二口ッカ一アーム 19の一端のボス部を軸支し て、 該連結軸 1を中心に回動自在とする。 In the connecting shaft 1 supported by the supporting arm 5 and the supporting arm 5-1, the connecting shaft 1 between the supporting arm 5 and the supporting arm 5-1 has a boss portion at one end of the second mouth arm 19. The shaft is supported so as to be rotatable about the connecting shaft 1.
そして、 前記支持アーム取付軸 6及ぴ 6 - 1の軸心から、 連結軸 1の軸心までの距離と 同じ距離を持つ第二ロッカーアーム 19のフォーク状に分岐した他端部に、 連結軸 1 と 平行に口一ラーカムフォロアー軸 8により、 ローラ一カムフォロアー 11を軸支して回転 自在とする。  Then, a connecting shaft is connected to the other end of the second rocker arm 19 branched into a fork shape having the same distance as the distance from the shaft center of the support arm mounting shaft 6 and 6-1 to the shaft center of the connecting shaft 1. In parallel with 1, a single roller cam follower shaft 8 is supported by a single roller cam follower shaft 8 so that it can rotate freely.
該ローラーカムフォロアー 11には弁閉時の状態において、カムベース円 4を接触させ る。  The cam base circle 4 is brought into contact with the roller cam follower 11 when the valve is closed.
ローラーカムフォロア一 11 とカム軸 3との位置関係においては、 図 15に示す低リフト 時及び、 図 17に示す中リフト時及び、 図 19に示す高リフト時のそれぞれにおいて。 カム軸 3が回転しカム山 2が作動してローラーカムフォロアー 11を押しのけるとき、力 ム軸 3とローラーカムフォロアー 11と連結軸 1に過大な力を加えることなく順調に作動 する必要力 ある。 The positional relationship between the roller cam follower 11 and the camshaft 3 is as shown in FIG. 15 at the time of low lift, at the time of middle lift shown in FIG. 17, and at the time of high lift shown in FIG. When the camshaft 3 rotates and the cam crest 2 operates to push the roller cam follower 11, it is necessary to operate smoothly without applying excessive force to the force shaft 3, roller cam follower 11 and connecting shaft 1.
そのためには、 図 17に示すように第一ロッカーアーム 10を用いた場合においては、 該 ローラ一カムフォロアー 11 の押接面である第一ロッカーアーム背面 10-5 の延長線 X- 1 と平行で口一ラーカムフォロアー 11の軸線 Lを通る直線 Y- 1と、カム軸 3の軸心とロー ラーカムフォロアー 11 の軸心しを通る直線 Z - 1 とが交わって成す小さい角度が、 60度 前後から 30度前後になるようにカム軸 3を位置させればよいが、 図 17に示す卖施例で は 47度と設定してある。 For that purpose, when the first rocker arm 10 is used as shown in FIG. 17, the extension line X-1 of the first rocker arm back surface 10-5 which is the pressing surface of the roller-cam follower 11 is used. The small angle formed by the straight line Y-1 passing through the axis L of the straight cam follower 11 in parallel with the straight line Z-1 passing through the axis of the camshaft 3 and the axis of the roller cam follower 11 is 60 The camshaft 3 may be positioned so that it is about 30 degrees from about 30 degrees, but in the embodiment shown in Fig. 17, it is set to 47 degrees.
該ロ一ラーカムフォロアー 11 に近隣して、 該ローラカムフォロアー 11 より小径の第一 ロッカーローラ一フォロアー 9 を同軸心に軸支して回転自在とし、 弁閉時の状態におい て、該第一口ッカーロ一ラ一フォロアー 9を第一口ッカーアーム 10の弁押接部近隣の、 カム軸側に面する背面 10- 5に接触させる。 In the vicinity of the roller cam follower 11, a first rocker roller follower 9 having a smaller diameter than the roller cam follower 11 is rotatably supported by being coaxially supported. The Carro-Roller-Follower 9 is brought into contact with the back surface 10-5 facing the camshaft side in the vicinity of the valve pressing contact part of the first necker arm 10.
該第一口ッカーアーム背面 10-5においてはローラーフォロアー 9がその面を転動して往 復するので、 平面あるいはなだらかな凸面あるいはなだらかな凹面である必要があるが、 本実施例では平面としている。 Since the roller follower 9 rolls back and forth on the rear surface 10-5 of the first mouth arm, it needs to be a flat surface, a gentle convex surface, or a gentle concave surface, but in this embodiment it is a flat surface. .
同じく、 該ロ一ラーカムフォロアー 11 に近隣して、 第一ロッカー口一ラーフォロア一 9 と反対側に、 該第一ロッカーローラーフォロア一 9 と同形の第一ロッカーローラ一フォ ロア一 9-1を該ローラ一カムフォロア一 11と同軸心に軸支して回転自在とする。 Similarly, a first rocker roller follower 9-1 having the same shape as the first rocker roller follower 9 is provided on the opposite side of the first rocker mouth follower 9 adjacent to the lower cam follower 11. Roller, cam follower, and 11 are coaxially supported to be rotatable.
そして、 弁閉時の状態において、 該第一ロッカー口一ラーフォロアー 9-1 を第一ロッ カーアーム 10-1の弁押接部近隣の、 カム軸側に面する背面 10-3に接触させる。  Then, when the valve is closed, the first rocker port one follower 9-1 is brought into contact with the back surface 10-3 facing the camshaft side in the vicinity of the valve pressing portion of the first rocker arm 10-1.
そして、 この弁閉時の状態において、 ローラーカムフォロアー 11及び第一ロッカー口一 ラーフォロアー 9と 9-1の軸心と、 前記支持アーム取付軸 6及び 6 - 1 との軸心とが同一 軸線 L上にあるようにする。 ' そして、 支持アーム 5及び 5-1の連結軸 1に結合しているそれぞれのボス部には止め ピン 17-1 と 17をそれぞれ固定して設け、 押さえバネ 18のボス部の曲面に沿ってえん 曲している両端を、 それぞれ止めピン 17-1と 17に掛けて止める。 In this state when the valve is closed, the axis of the roller cam follower 11 and the first rocker port one follower 9 and 9-1 and the axis of the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1 are on the same axis. Be on L. 'And, each boss part that is connected to the connecting shaft 1 of the support arms 5 and 5-1 is provided with fixing pins 17-1 and 17 fixed respectively, along the curved surface of the boss part of the holding spring 18 Enclose the bent ends by hooking them onto the retaining pins 17-1 and 17 respectively.
該押さえバネ 18の中央部は第二口ッカ一アーム 19の第一口ッカ一アーム 10及び 10-1 に面しているアーム部分に押し当てて、その反力によりローラーカムフォロアー 11を力 ムベース円 4に常時押接するようにする。 The central part of the holding spring 18 is pressed against the arm part facing the first mouther arms 10 and 10-1 of the second mouther arm 19, and the roller cam follower 11 is caused by the reaction force. Always press against the force base circle 4.
支持アーム 5-1の連結軸 1を支持しているボス部にはブラケット 14-1を 2枚平行に 支持アーム部分の反対側のボス部に設ける。  Two brackets 14-1 are installed on the boss on the opposite side of the support arm on the boss supporting the connecting shaft 1 of the support arm 5-1.
該ブラケット 14-1の間には雌ねじ 15を連結軸と直角の位置に軸 14により回動自在に 軸支して、 該雌ねじ 15には雄ねじ 16をねじ込んで挿入する。 A female screw 15 is pivotally supported by the shaft 14 at a position perpendicular to the connecting shaft between the brackets 14-1, and a male screw 16 is screwed into the female screw 15 for insertion.
該雄ねじ 16は制御モーター 23により駆動可能に軸結し、 雌ねじ 15に対して雄ねじ 16 を出入り可能とし、該制御モーター 23は軸 12によりエンジン部材 20に軸支し揺動可能 とする。 The male screw 16 is shaft-coupled so that it can be driven by a control motor 23, and the male screw 16 can be moved in and out of the female screw 15, and the control motor 23 is pivotally supported on the engine member 20 by the shaft 12 and can swing.
制御モータ一 23は制御回路 21を経て、 アクセルペダル 22のふみ込み量、 ふみ込み速 度、 位置等を受信して、 正転、 逆転、 停止位置保持等を行うもので、 公知技術のサ一ボ モーターあるいはステツビングモータ一及びそれに伴う制御回路を用いる。 以上のような構成のもとアクセルペダル 22の操作量に応じて、 支持アーム取付軸 6及 び 6-1を中心として、 支持アーム 5及び 5 - 1を回動させ、 連結している連結軸 1を回動 させる。 The control motor 23 receives the amount of squeezing of the accelerator pedal 22, the squeezing speed, the position, etc. via the control circuit 21, and performs forward rotation, reverse rotation, stop position holding, etc. Bobo motor or stepping motor and associated control circuit are used. In the configuration as described above, the connecting shaft is connected by rotating the supporting arms 5 and 5-1 around the supporting arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1 according to the operation amount of the accelerator pedal 22 Rotate 1
当然ながら、 連結軸 1に連結している第二ロッカーアーム 19も、 支持アーム取付軸 6 及び 6 - 1の軸心と同心のローラーカムフォロアー 11の軸心を中心として回動する。  Naturally, the second rocker arm 19 connected to the connecting shaft 1 also rotates around the axis of the roller cam follower 11 concentric with the axis of the support arm mounting shafts 6 and 6-1.
それによつて、カムにより駆動されるローラーカムフォロアー 11の運動方向を変化させ、 同軸心に軸支されている第一ロッカーローラーフォロアー 9と 9-1の第一ロッカーァー ム 10、 10-1を押し下げる方向の運動分力を増減させる。 As a result, the direction of movement of the roller cam follower 11 driven by the cam is changed, and the first rocker roller followers 9 and 9-1 supported by the coaxial shaft are pushed down. Increase or decrease the movement component in the direction.
ΙΪ1 15に示すように、 アクセルペダル 22のふみ込み量のないアイドル状態、 又は少ない 低負荷の状態で、 連結軸 1及び第二ロッ力一アーム 19が R方向に回動し、 立ち上がつ た位置である。  ΙΪ1 As shown in 15, the connecting shaft 1 and the second locking force one arm 19 rotate in the R direction in the idle state where the accelerator pedal 22 is not swallowed or in a low load state, and the stand up It is the position.
この位置でカムが作用すればローラーカムフォロアー 11は連結軸 1を中心に回動し、 その回動方向と弁 13と 13-1を押し下げる方向の運動分力との成す角度が大きいので、 弁 13 と 13-1を押し下げる移動量が小さく、 その結果図 16に示すようなリフト量 Aと なるものである。  If the cam acts at this position, the roller cam follower 11 will rotate about the connecting shaft 1 and the angle between the rotational direction and the component of motion in the direction to push down the valves 13 and 13-1 will be large. The amount of movement to push down 13 and 13-1 is small, resulting in a lift amount A as shown in Fig. 16.
図 17は中負荷時の連結軸 1及び第二口ッカーアーム 19の位置で、 前記図 15の位置よ りも立ち上がりの小さい F方向に回動した状態である。 FIG. 17 shows a state in which the connecting shaft 1 and the second necker arm 19 are rotated in the F direction where the rising is smaller than the position shown in FIG.
この位置で力ムが作動すれば口一ラーカムフォロアー 11は連結軸 1を中心に回動し、 その回動方向と弁 13 と 13-1を押し下げる方向の運動分力との成す角度が前記図' 15の 場合より小さいので、 弁 13と 13- 1を押し下げる移動量が図 15の場合より大きくなり、 その結果図 18に示すようなリフト量 Bとなるものである。  When the force is actuated at this position, the mouth lull cam follower 11 rotates about the connecting shaft 1, and the angle formed by the rotation direction and the component force of movement in the direction of pushing down the valves 13 and 13-1 is the above figure. Since it is smaller than the case of '15, the amount of movement to push down the valves 13 and 13-1 becomes larger than that in the case of FIG. 15, and as a result, the lift amount B is as shown in FIG.
図 19は大負荷時の連結軸 1及び第二口ッカーアーム 19の位置で、 前記図 17の位置よ りもさらに立ち上がりの小さい F方向に回動した状態である。 FIG. 19 shows a state in which the connecting shaft 1 and the second mouth-cker arm 19 are rotated in the F direction, which is smaller than the position shown in FIG.
この位置で力ムが作動すればローラーカムフォロアー 11は連結軸 1を中心に回動し、 その回動方向と弁 13, 13-1 を押し下げる方向の運動分力との成す角度が、 前記図 17の 場合よりさらに少なくなり、 ローラーカムフォロアー 11の回動した移動量がほとんど弁 13, 13 - 1を押し下げる移動量として伝達される。  When the force force is actuated at this position, the roller cam follower 11 rotates about the connecting shaft 1 and the angle formed by the rotation direction and the component force of movement in the direction of pushing down the valves 13 and 13-1 is the above figure. The amount of rotation of the roller cam follower 11 is transmitted as the amount of movement that pushes down the valves 13 and 13-1.
その結果、 図 20に示すリフト量 Cとなるものである。 As a result, the lift amount C shown in FIG. 20 is obtained.
以上のように、 連結軸 1を F方向に回動させれば、 その回動量に従って、 ローラーカム フォロア一 11の回動した移動量の多くが弁を押し下げる移動量として伝達し、弁のリフ ト量を増加させる。 As described above, if the connecting shaft 1 is rotated in the F direction, according to the amount of rotation, most of the amount of movement of the roller cam follower 11 is transmitted as the amount of movement that pushes down the valve, and the lift of the valve Increase the amount.
また、 該連結軸 1を R方向に回動させれば、 その回動量に従って、 口一ラーカムフォ ロアー 11の回動した移動量がより少なく弁を押し下げる移動量として伝達し、弁のリフ ト量を減少させる。  Further, if the connecting shaft 1 is rotated in the R direction, the amount of movement of the rotary cam follower 11 is transmitted with less rotation according to the amount of rotation, and the amount of lift of the valve is transmitted. Decrease.
また、 R方向、 F方向それぞれの方向への回動は連続的に可変可能である。 次に図 2に示す第 2の実施例について説明すれば、 第二ロッカーアーム 19-1 のフォ ーク状に分岐した他端部に、 ローラーカムフォロアー軸 8-1によりローラ一カムフォロ ァー 11- 1とそれより小径の第一口ッカ一ローラ一フォロアー 9- 2を近隣して同軸に、 そ れぞれ回転自在に軸支する。 The rotation in the R direction and the F direction can be continuously changed. Next, a second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 will be described. A roller-cam follower shaft 8-1 is attached to the other end portion of the second rocker arm 19-1 branched into a fork shape. -1 and the smaller diameter first mouthpiece, 1 roller, 1 follower, 9-2 are coaxially mounted in the vicinity, and each is rotatably supported.
そして、 第一ロッカーローラーフォロアー 9-2は T字形レバーの形状をした第一ロッカ 一アーム 10-2の、 カム軸側に面した背面 10」4に接触している。 The first rocker roller follower 9-2 is in contact with the back 10 ”4 facing the camshaft side of the first rocker arm 10-2 in the shape of a T-shaped lever.
該背面 10-4は第一口ッカ一軸と弁押接部分との間にある第一口ッカーアーム 10-2部材 のカム軸 3側に面する部分である。 The back surface 10-4 is a portion facing the cam shaft 3 side of the first necker arm 10-2 member between the first necker shaft and the valve pressing portion.
動作のしかたは前記第一の実施例と同じである。 The operation is the same as in the first embodiment.
図 5に示す第 3の実施例について説明すれば、 第一ロッカーアームを用いることなく、 直押しのバケツト形のタぺット 30, 30-1を用いている。  The third embodiment shown in FIG. 5 will be described. The direct-pressed bucket-shaped tapets 30 and 30-1 are used without using the first rocker arm.
そして、 第二ロッカーアーム 19 - 2 のフォーク状に分岐した他端部に、 ローラ一カムフ ォロアー軸 8-2により口一ラーカムフォロア一 11一 2とタぺットローラーフォロアー 9— 3、 9-4とを近隣して同軸にそれぞれ回転自在に軸支する。 At the other end of the second rocker arm 19-2 branched into a fork, a roller cam follower shaft 8-2 is connected to a mouth roller cam follower 11 1 2 and a tapet roller follower 9-3, 9-4. And are pivotally supported coaxially in the vicinity.
該タぺットローラーフォロアー 9 3、 9 - 4はそれぞれタぺット 30, 30-1の頂部 31, 31- 1に 弁閉時の状態において接触している。 The tappet roller followers 9 3 and 9-4 are in contact with the top portions 31 and 31-1 of the tappets 30 and 30-1, respectively, when the valve is closed.
そして、 カムの作動により第二ロッカーアーム 19-2が連結軸 1 を中心に回動したとき に、 該タぺットローラ一フォロアー 9-3, 9-4がタぺット 30、 30-1の頂部 31, 31- 1を転動 しながら押し下げ可能とするものである。 When the second rocker arm 19-2 is rotated about the connecting shaft 1 by the operation of the cam, the tapet roller one follower 9-3, 9-4 is connected to the tapet 30, 30-1. The top 31, 31-1 can be pushed down while rolling.
第一ロッカーアームを用いるかわりにバケツト形タペット 30、 30- 1を用いる図 5、 図 8、 図 9、 図 13に示す各実施例においては、 タぺット頂部 31の延長線 Xと平行でローラ一 カムフォロアー 11の軸心 Lを通る直線 Yと、カム軸 3の軸心とローラカムフォロアー 11 の軸心 Lを通る直線 Zとが交わって成す小さい角度が、 前記と同様に 60度前後から 30 度前後になるようにカム軸 3を位置させればよいが、 図 8に^す実施例では 43. 5度に 設定してある。 In each of the embodiments shown in Figs. 5, 8, 9, and 13 where bucket-type tappets 30 and 30-1 are used instead of the first rocker arm, it is parallel to the extension X of the top 31 of the tappet. The small angle formed by the straight line Y passing through the axis L of the roller cam follower 11 and the straight line Z passing through the axis L of the camshaft 3 and the axis L of the roller cam follower 11 is about 60 degrees as before. The camshaft 3 may be positioned so that it is about 30 degrees from the angle, but in the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, it is set to 43.5 degrees.
そのときの動作の原理は前記第 1の実施例と同じである。 The principle of operation at that time is the same as that of the first embodiment.
第一ロッカーローラフォロアーとタぺットローラ一フォロアーは機能と、 その置かれ る位置は同じであるが、 説明する上で第一口ッカ一アームに接触するものを第一口ッカ 一ローラフォロアー、 タぺットに接角虫するものをタぺットローラーフォロアーと名づけ た。  The first rocker roller follower and the tapet roller one follower have the same function and the same position. However, for the sake of explanation, the first rocker roller follower is the one that contacts the first mouth roller arm. We named the tapet roller follower the one that is close to the tapet.
また、 カムタペットフォロア一 9- 7 と名づけたのは、 部材として単一でもその部位で機 能が異なるためである。 産業上の利用可能性 Also, the reason why the cam tappet follower is named 9-7 is that even if it is a single member, its function differs depending on the part. Industrial applicability
