Abstract
Description
また、カムシャフトを支持する軸受として、従来、滑り軸受(例えば特許文献1参照)や、深溝玉軸受やニードル軸受等の転がり軸受(例えば特許文献2参照)が用いられている。
そして、シリンダヘッドに形成された複数の半円弧形凹部に対して複数のキャップ部材の半円弧形凹部をそれぞれ合致させ、各キャップ部材をシリンダヘッドにボルト固定することによって複数の支持孔が形成されている。
前記支持フレームは、複数の分割体を連結することによって構成されており、
前記複数の分割体は、前記各支持孔の半分を構成する複数の第1凹部が一体に形成された第1分割体と、各支持孔の他の半分を構成する複数の第2凹部が一体に形成された第2分割体とを含む。
図1は、本発明のカムシャフト装置を示す斜視図、図2は、カムシャフト装置の分解斜視図である。
カムシャフト装置10は、カムシャフト11と、このカムシャフト11を転がり軸受12を介して回転自在に支持する支持フレーム13とを備えている。図1及び図2の例では、2つのカムシャフト装置10が並べて配置されており、それぞれDOHC4サイクルエンジン14のシリンダヘッド15上に取り付けられる。
カムシャフト11の軸方向の一端には、歯付きプーリ19が取り付けられ、この歯付きプーリ19に図示しないクランクシャフトからの動力がタイミングベルトを介して伝達される。
なお、連結具36は、圧入ピンやラチェットピン等、ピンによって締結する構成であってもよい。
なお、筒状体38は、支持フレーム13の成形時に一緒に鋳込むことによって支持フレーム13に固着してもよい。
支持フレーム13に支持孔25を形成するには、まず、第1,第2分割体27,28を、位置決めピン31によって位置決めしながら互いに重ね合わせ、クランプや連結具等によって固定することによって仮組みする。そして、仮組みされた第1,第2分割体27,28の複数の支持壁部24を貫通するように下孔をあけ、その後、リーマ仕上げ等を施すことによって所定精度の支持孔25を形成する。
また、図3に示すように、連結具36が取り付けられるボルト挿通孔34は、右端の支持孔25を除く他の各支持孔25に対して、1つは支持孔25の径方向外方に配置されて軸方向に関する位置が重複しているが、他は支持孔25の径方向外方から軸方向に外れた位置に配置されている。このように支持孔25から軸方向に外れた位置にボルト挿通孔34が配置されていると、当該ボルト挿通孔34を用いて連結具36を強固に締め付けたとしても、その締結力は、支持孔25に到るまでに支持フレーム13の撓みによって若干緩和される。そのため、転がり軸受12の外輪が支持孔25の内周面によって過度に締め付けられることはほとんどなく、転がり軸受12の内部隙間の減少により回転トルクが増大することもない。
例えば、図3に示すように、各支持フレーム13において、4つのボルト挿通孔34(特に符号34Aを付して示す)を第1分割体27と第2分割体28との連結専用とし、他の5つのボルト挿通孔34を第1,第2分割体27,28とシリンダヘッド15との共締め用とすることができる。
なお、この変形例において、第1,第2分割体27,28とシリンダヘッド15との共締め用のボルト挿通孔34に取り付けた連結具36の締め付け力は、すでに連結具合が調整された第1,第2分割体27,28の支持孔25に影響を与えないようにすることが必要とされる。そのため、全ての共締め用のボルト挿通孔34を、当該支持孔25から軸方向に外れた位置、例えば、側壁部23における、軸方向に隣接する支持壁部24と支持壁部24との中間位置に設けることが好ましい。
この油溝51は、第1,第2分割体27,28の長手方向の一端部から側壁部23に沿って延び、さらに各支持孔25とカム18へ向けて分岐している。したがって、この油溝51を利用することによって各転がり軸受12や各カム18等へ向けて潤滑油を導くことが可能となっている。そのため、潤滑油を導くための配管等を別途支持フレーム13内に設ける必要が無くなり、支持フレーム13及びその周囲の構造の簡素化を図ることができる。
本実施形態では、第1の実施形態と同様に、側壁部23に開口部40が形成され、この開口部40によって支持フレーム13の剛性が低下している。しかし、本実施形態では、第1分割体27の支持壁部24を平面視で略X字形状とすることによって第1分割体27の剛性を高め、開口部40を形成することに伴う支持フレーム13の剛性の低下を支持壁部24によって補っている。
したがって、本実施形態においても第1分割体27の剛性が高められ、第6の実施形態と同様の作用効果を奏する。
したがって、本実施形態においても第1分割体27の剛性が高められ、第6の実施形態と同様の作用効果を奏する。更に、天板57をシリンダヘッドカバーとして機能させることができる。
前記支持フレームは、複数の分割体を連結することによって構成されており、
前記複数の分割体は、前記各支持孔の半分を構成する複数の第1凹部が一体に形成された第1分割体と、各支持孔の他の半分を構成する複数の第2凹部が一体に形成された第2分割体とを含む。
このような構成によって、第1,第2凹部を確実に合致させて第1,第2分割体を連結することができる。
このように、支持孔から軸方向に離れた位置に配置された連結手段によって第1,第2分割体を連結すると、当該連結手段による第1,第2分割体の連結力は、当該支持孔に伝わるまでに支持フレームの撓みにより緩和される。そのため、転がり軸受の外周面が支持孔の内周面によって過度に締め付けられることが少なくなり、転がり軸受の内部隙間が小さくなって回転トルクが増大してしまうという不都合が生じることもなくなる。
なお、連結手段の配置は、軸方向に隣接する支持孔と支持孔との中間位置に配置するのがより好ましい。
近年、エンジンのクランクケースやシリンダブロック、シリンダヘッド等は軽量化のためにアルミ合金やマグネシウム合金等の軽合金によって形成されている場合が多く、したがって、カムシャフト装置の支持フレームについてもアルミ合金やマグネシウム合金等の軽合金で形成することが望まれる。しかし、これらの軽合金は鋼等と比較して剛性が低いため、ボルトの締め付け力によって歪みが生じやすく、その歪みが支持孔周辺にまで及ぶと支持孔の真円度や同軸度等に悪影響を与える可能性がある。したがって、本発明のようにボルト挿通孔の内部に支持フレームよりも高剛性の筒状体を固着し、この筒状体によってボルトの締結力の一部又は全部を受け持つことによって支持フレームの歪みを可及的に抑制することができる。もっとも、エンジンのクランクケース等や支持フレームが軽合金以外の材質である場合にも、当然にこの発明を適用することが可能である。
このような方法によって、複数の支持孔の同軸度を高めるとともに、真円度のばらつきを少なくすることが可能となり、各支持孔に嵌合された複数の転がり軸受の間のミスアライメントを小さくすることができる。
