具体而言, 第一旋转中心为设在摆臂本体上的第一通孔, 第二旋转中 心为设在摆臂本体上的第二通孔。 为减轻摆臂重量并使摆臂受力平衡,所述摆臂本体包括两个相互间隔 且对称设置的凸出部, 第二通孔设置在该两个凸出部上。 而且第二通孔中设有第二旋转轴, 两个所述凸出部之间设有滚子, 滚 子套设在第二旋转轴上,这样能够巧妙地使第二旋转中心的位置临时固定, 以便驱动摆臂围绕第二旋转中心转动。 所述摆臂本体上设有驱动气门连杆直线往复运动的工作部,工作部的 数目为至少两个, 且该至少两个工作部彼此间隔, 这样该至少两个工作部 可以与多个相应的气门摇臂相配合。 本发明实施例另一方面提供了一种可变气门升程驱动装置。 在可变气门升程驱动装置的实施例 1 中,该可变气门升程驱动装置包 括气门、 与气门连接的气门连杆、 与气门连杆连接的气门摇臂、 以及驱动 气门打开或闭合的凸轮轴,在气门摇臂和凸轮轴之间设有摆臂和摆臂调节 架, 摆臂上设有第一旋转中心和第二旋转中心, 凸轮轴转动时带动摆臂围 绕第一旋转中心摆动以驱动气门连杆直线往复运动实现气门的打开或闭 合,摆臂调节架转动时带动摆臂围绕第二旋转中心转动以调节第一旋转中 心的位置, 从而改变气门升程。
具体而言, 第一旋转中心为第一通孔, 第一通孔内设有第一销轴以连 接摆臂和摆臂调节架; 第二旋转中心为第二通孔, 第二通孔内设有第二销 轴, 第二销轴上设有与凸轮轴配合运动的摆臂滚子。 其中, 为使摆臂调节架能够围绕第二销轴转动, 所述第二销轴与所述 摆臂调节架的转动中心同轴线设置。
为了能够驱动摆臂调节架转动, 所述摆臂调节架铰接有连杆, 连杆上 设有孔, 孔内设有偏心轮, 偏心轮的偏心轴连接有驱动机构。 摆臂调节架有多种实现形式,在本发明可变气门升程驱动装置之实施 例 1 中的实现形式为: 所述摆臂调节架包括呈直线型的底臂、 与底臂的端 部垂直相连且朝底臂的同一侧延伸的两个侧臂、以及与底臂的中部垂直相 连且朝底臂的另一相反侧延伸的中臂;两个侧臂上同轴地设有第一安装孔, 摆臂调节架能够围绕第一安装孔转动,两个侧臂上还同轴地设有与所述第 一通孔对应的第二安装孔, 所述第一销轴也穿设在第二安装孔中; 中臂上 设有第三安装孔, 摆臂调节架通过第三安装孔与所述连杆铰接。 所述第一安装孔内设有销钉,以便能够将摆臂调节架铰接在发动机的 其他相关零部件上, 例如铰接在发动机的盖体上, 同时为了防止销钉的轴 向蹿动, 销钉的两端部设有卡簧。 连杆也有多种实现形式, 在本发明可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 1 中的实现形式为: 所述连杆包括杆体, 杆体的一端设有所述孔、 另一端设 有叉部, 所述中臂插入所述叉部的缝隙中, 且叉部上设有与所述第三安装 孔对应的第四安装孔。 在可变气门升程驱动装置的实施例 2中,所述可变气门升程驱动装置 的结构和功能与上述实施例 1基本上相同,二者的不同之处主要在于摆臂 调节架和连杆的实现形式不同。 连杆在本发明可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 2中的实现形式为:所 述连杆包括第一杆体、与第一杆体的端部垂直相连且朝第一杆体的同一侧 延伸的两个侧杆、以及与第一杆体的中部垂直相连且朝第一杆体的另一相 反侧延伸的中杆;两个侧杆上同轴地设有与所述第一通孔对应的第五安装 孔, 所述第一销轴也穿设在所述第五安装孔中, 且连杆通过所述第五安装 孔与所述摆臂调节架铰接; 中杆上设有第六安装孔, 第六安装孔安装有偏 心轮, 偏心轮的偏心轴连接有驱动机构。 摆臂调节架在本发明可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 2 中的实现形 式为: 所述摆臂调节架包括第二杆体; 所述第二杆体上设有与所述第一通 孔对应的第七安装孔, 所述第一销轴也穿设在所述第七安装孔中, 且摆臂 调节架通过所述第七安装孔与所述连杆铰接;所述第二杆体上还设有第八 安装孔, 销钉穿设在第八安装孔内, 摆臂调节架能够围绕所述销钉转动。 在可变气门升程驱动装置的实施例 3中,所述可变气门升程驱动装置 的结构和功能与上述实施例 1基本上相同, 二者的不同之处主要在于: 实 施例 3中未使用连杆, 且摆臂调节架的实现形式也有所不同。 摆臂调节架在本发明可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 3 中的实现形 式为: 所述摆臂调节架包括底臂、 与所述底臂相连且朝所述底臂的同一侧 中臂; 两个侧臂上同轴地设有第一安装孔, 摆臂调节架能够围绕第一安装 孔摆动; 两个侧臂上还同轴地设有与所述第一通孔对应的第二安装孔, 第 二安装孔内穿设有第一销轴; 所述中臂上设有开口, 所述开口中安装有滑 块, 所述滑块上具有容纳孔, 所述容纳孔内设有偏心轮, 偏心轮的偏心轴 连接有驱动机构。 其中, 所述开口为矩形开口, 所述滑块为矩形滑块; 所述矩形滑块与 所述矩形开口之间通过凹槽和凸块滑动配合。 或者, 所述滑块的滑动面沿 垂直于滑动方向上为 V型滑动面或倒 V型滑动面,所述开口中设有与所述 V型滑动面滑动配合的倒 V型表面或与所述倒 V型滑动面滑动配合的 V型 表面。 在可变气门升程驱动装置的实施例 4中,所述可变气门升程驱动装置 的结构和功能与上述实施例 1基本上相同, 二者的不同之处主要在于: 实 施例 4中未使用连杆, 且摆臂调节架的实现形式也有所不同。 摆臂调节架在本发明可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 4 中的实现形 式为: 所述摆臂调节架包括呈直线型的底臂、 与底臂的端部垂直相连且朝 底臂的同一侧延伸的两个侧臂、以及与底臂的中部垂直相连且朝底臂的另 一相反侧延伸的中臂; 两个侧臂上同轴地设有第一安装孔, 第一安装孔安 装销钉, 摆臂调节架围绕销钉摆动; 两个侧臂上还同轴地设有与所述第一 通孔对应的第二安装孔, 第二安装孔内穿设有第一销轴; 中臂抵靠有偏心 轮, 偏心轮的偏心轴连接有驱动机构。 对于本发明实施例提供的摆臂及具有该摆臂的可变气门升程驱动装 置而言,使摆臂围绕其第一旋转中心摆动可以驱动气门连杆进行直线往复 运动以实现气门的打开与闭合,使摆臂围绕其第二旋转中' ^转动可以调整 所述第一旋转中心的位置,这样当第一旋转中心位于一个位置处时可以实 现一种气门升程,当调整第一旋转中心使其位于另一个不同位置处时可以 实现另一种不同的气门升程,因此可以根据发动机的不同使用工况对气门 升程进行改变。本发明实施例中实现可变气门升程的方式与现有技术中使 用组合式凸轮轴实现可变气门升程的方式不同,不会由于变更具有不同型 线的凸轮来驱动气门连杆运动而对凸轮轴、气门连杆等零部件产生冲击作 用, 延长了凸轮轴、 气门连杆等相关零部件的使用寿命; 而且由于不会在 凸轮轴上设置多个具有不同型线的凸轮,因此与本发明实施例中的摆臂配 合使用的凸轮轴结构简单、 质量小, 降低了发动机的加工成本和燃油消耗 量。

在实际的使用中, 摆臂本体 1为中空结构, 该中空结构不仅能够减轻 摆臂的重量, 而且能够提高摆臂的整体强度。 如图 1所示, 在该中空结构 的侧壁上设有翻边筋 7 , 该翻边筋能够进一步提高摆臂的结构强度和抗冲 击能力。
摆臂之实施例 2
图 4为本发明摆臂之实施例 2提供的摆臂的结构示意图。如图 4所示, 摆臂包括摆臂本体 1 , 摆臂本体 1 上设有第一旋转中心 11 和第二旋转中 心 12 , 本实施例中第一旋转中心 11 为第一通孔, 第二旋转中心 12为第 二通孔。 与图 1所示实施例不同的是, 在图 4所示的摆放状态下, 摆臂本 体 1的底部具有两个工作部 2 , 该两个工作部 2彼此间隔。 在应用中该两 个工作部 2分别与相应气门摇臂的工作面相配合,当摆臂围绕第一旋转中 心 11摆动时驱动气门摇臂围绕其旋转轴进行相应的摆动, 气门摇臂的摆 动进而驱动气门连杆直线往复运动以实现气门的打开与闭合。 通常而言, 发动机的每个气缸都具有两个进气门和两个排气门, 但也 有三个进气门和两个排气门的结构。上述实施例 1 中的摆臂具有一个工作 部, 能够与一个进气门相互配合使用, 因此对于两个进气门就需要使用两 个这样的摆臂。 而本实施例中的摆臂具有两个工作部, 能够与两个进气门 相互配合使用, 因此对于两个进气门可以仅使用一个这样的摆臂, 这节省 了发动机零部件的使用数量, 简化了结构。 当然, 对于具有三个或更多个 进气门的气缸, 也可以在摆臂上设置三个或更多个相应的工作部。
本实施例中, 该两个工作部 2的工作面可以具有不同的曲面形状, 当 具有不同曲面形状的两个工作面分别与相应的气门摇臂配合后,能够驱动 两个气门摇臂产生不同程度的摆动, 从而引起两个气门的不同的升程。
除上述区别之处外, 本实施例中的摆臂结构和功能与上述实施例 1 中摆臂的结构和功能基本相同, 即使存在细微的不同之处, 本领域技术人 员也可以依据本发明的精神以及相应的技术知识通过合理的推论得知,此 处不再佯述。 此外, 本发明还提供了一种可变气门升程装置的实施例, 该可变气门 升程装置使用了上述实施例中描述的摆臂。 可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 1
图 5为本发明可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 1提供的可变气门升程 驱动装置的结构示意图, 图 6为图 5 的分解结构示意图。 如图 5和图 6 所示, 该可变气门升程驱动装置包括气门 101、 与气门 101连接的气门连 杆 102、 与气门连杆 102连接的气门摇臂 103、 以及驱动气门打开或闭合 的凸轮轴 104 , 在凸轮轴 104和气门摇臂 103之间设有摆臂 105和摆臂调 节架 1-6 , 摆臂 105上设有第一旋转中心 1 -51和第二旋转中心 1 -52 , 凸轮 轴 104转动时带动摆臂 105 围绕第一旋转中心 1 -51摆动以驱动气门连杆 102直线往复运动实现气门 101的打开或闭合, 摆臂调节架 1-6转动带动 摆臂 105 围绕第二旋转中心 1 -52转动以调节第一旋转中心 1 -51 的位置, 从而改变气门升程。 这样当第一旋转中心位于一个位置处时可以实现一种气门升程,当调 整第一旋转中心使其位于另一个不同位置处时可以实现另一种不同的气 门升程, 因此可以根据发动机的不同使用工况对气门升程进行改变。 本发 现可变气门升程的方式不同,不会由于变更具有不同型线的凸轮来驱动气 门连杆运动而对凸轮轴、气门连杆等零部件产生冲击作用,延长了凸轮轴、 气门连杆等相关零部件的使用寿命;而且由于不会在凸轮轴上设置多个具 有不同型线的凸轮,因此与本发明实施例中的摆臂配合使用的凸轮轴结构 简单、 质量小, 降低了发动机的加工成本和燃油消耗量。
本实施例中第一旋转中心 1 -51具体为第一通孔, 第二旋转中心 1-52 具体为第二通孔, 且第一通孔内设有第一销轴 1 -53以连接摆臂 105和摆 臂调节架 1-6 , 第二通孔内设有第二销轴 1-54 , 第二销轴 1 -54上设有与凸 轮轴 104配合运动的摆臂滚子 1 -56 , 凸轮轴 104驱动摆臂滚子 1-56以使 摆臂 105 围绕第一销轴 1 -53摆动实现气门 101 的打开或闭合, 摆臂调节 架 1-6转动带动摆臂 105围绕第二销轴 1-54转动以调节第一销轴 1-53的 位置。 需要说明的是, 第一旋转中心和第二旋转中心的实现形式并不局限 于通孔,例如可以使摆臂与第一销轴一体成型,或者与第二销轴一体成型, 在这种形式下, 摆臂并不围绕与之一体成型的第一销轴或第二销轴转动, 而是跟随其一起转动。 摆臂滚子 1-56可以巧妙地将第二旋转中心 1-52的位置临时固定, 以 便驱动摆臂 105围绕第二旋转中心 1-52转动。 具体为将摆臂滚子 1-56抵 靠在与之接触的其他零部件上使摆臂滚子 i—56 固定不动, 例如抵靠在凸 轮轴 104的凸轮上, 然后驱动摆臂 105转动以使第二销轴 1-54相对于摆 臂滚子 1-56旋转, 从而使摆臂 105能够围绕第二旋转中心 1-52旋转。 在 摆臂 105 围绕第二旋转中心 1-52旋转的运动完成后, 凸轮轴 104转动, 凸轮轴 104上的凸轮的大端抵靠摆臂滚子 1-56并使摆臂滚子 1-56带动第 二销轴 1-54、 再由第二销轴 1-54带动摆臂 105围绕第一旋转中心 1-51摆 动。 从图 6可以看出,摆臂 105具有两个工作部 1-57,该两个工作部 1-57 彼此间隔。 在实际使用中, 该两个工作部 1-57分别与相应气门摇臂的工 作面相配合,因此可以仅使用一个这样的摆臂 105而同时驱动两个气门摇 臂 103。 其中, 该两个工作部 1-57 的工作面可以具有不同的曲面形状, 当具有不同曲面形状的两个工作面分别与相应的气门摇臂 103配合后,能 够驱动两个气门摇臂 103 产生不同程度的摆动, 从而引起两个气门 101 的不同的升程。 其中, 摆臂调节架 1-6铰接在发动机的位置固定的零部件 1016上, 例如铰接在发动机的盖体上, 摆臂调节架 1-6能够围绕铰接处转动, 因此 其转动中心即为该铰接处。 本实施例中, 第二销轴 1-54与摆臂调节架 1-6 的转动中心同轴线设置, 因此摆臂调节架 1-6能够围绕第二销轴 1-54的 轴线转动, 从而调整第一销轴 1-53即第一旋转中心的位置。 为使摆臂调节架能够绕其转动中心转动, 如图 6和图 7所示, 摆臂调 节架 1-6铰接有连杆 1-7, 连杆 1-7上设有孔 1-72, 孔 1-72内设有偏心轮 108, 偏心轮 108的偏心轴 1081连接有驱动机构。 这样当驱动机构驱动偏 心轴 1081 转动时, 偏心轴 1081 带动偏心轮 108一起转动, 偏心轮 108 的转动带动连杆 1-7做平面运动, 从而使连杆 1-7带动摆臂调节架 1-6绕 其转动中心转动。 其中偏心轮 108与孔 1-72之间的接触为面接触, 而不 是线接触, 因此与线接触相比面接触使得零件间的接触面积较大, 零件的 磨损较小, 零件较难失效, 因此可以使用较长的时间而不需要更换。 如图 6所示, 摆臂调节架 1-6包括呈直线型的底臂 1-61、 与底臂 1-61 的端部垂直相连且朝底臂 1-61 的同一侧延伸的两个侧臂 1-62、 以及与底 臂 1-61的中部垂直相连且朝底臂 1-61的另一相反侧延伸的中臂 1-63。 两个侧臂 1-62上同轴地设有第一安装孔 1-64, 通过插入在第一安装 孔 1-64内的销钉 1-9能够将摆臂调节架 1-6铰接在发动机的位置固定的零 部件 1016上, 从而使摆臂调节架 1-6能够围绕第一安装孔 1-64转动, 此 时摆臂调节架 1-6的铰接处即第一安装孔 1-64或者销钉 1-9成为摆臂调节 架 6 的转动中心, 即第一安装孔 1-64 (或者销钉 1-9) 与第二销轴 1-54 同轴线设置。 其中, 设在第一安装孔 1-64 内的销钉 1-9的两端部设有卡 簧 1-13, 卡簧 1-13能够防止销钉 1-9的轴向蹿动。 此外, 两个侧臂 1-62上还同轴地设有与第一通孔对应的第二安装孔 1-65, 第一销轴 1-53也穿设在第二安装孔 1-65中, 将第一销轴 1-53穿过 第一通孔和第二安装孔 1-65能够使摆臂 105和摆臂调节架 1-6连接起来。 其中第一销轴 1-53与第一通孔之间的配合为间隙配合, 即摆臂 105能够 围绕第一销轴 1-53 自由转动, 这样当摆臂调节架 1-6绕其转动中心转动 时能够带动第一销轴 1 -53转动 ,以改变摆臂 105的第一旋转中心的位置。 第一销轴 1-53与第二安装孔 1-65之间的配合为过盈配合, 即摆臂调节架 1-6不能相对于第一销轴 1-53进行转动, 当凸轮轴 104上的凸轮的大端压 迫摆臂滚子 1-56时, 摆臂滚子 1-56并不绕着第一销轴 1-53旋转, 而是带 动第一销轴 1-53并进而带动摆臂 105围绕第二销轴 1-54转动, 在凸轮的 最大端越过摆臂滚子 1-56后, 凸轮的小端与摆臂滚子 1-56脱离接触, 从 而使得摆臂 105能够在复位弹簧的作用下绕第一销轴 53 回位。 其中, 虽 然图 6未示出复位弹簧的位置,但是本领域的技术人员能够根据复位弹簧 所起的作用对其位置进行合理的设置,因此这里不再对其设置位置进行佯 细说明。
为使第一销轴 1-53和第一通孔之间具有更好的相对运动, 如图 6所 示, 在第一销轴 1-53和第一通孔之间设有轴承 1-14, 该轴承可以选用滚 针轴承, 滚针轴承的径向厚度较小, 适合于放置在第一销轴 1-53 与第一 通孔之间的狭小空间内。 但并不局限于此, 如果空间允许, 也可以使用其 他形式的轴承, 如圓珠滚子轴承等。 具体而言, 轴承 1-14的数目为两个, 该两个轴承均套在第一销轴 1-53上且与第一销轴 1-53间隙配合, 因此为 避免轴承 1-14在第一销轴 1-53上产生轴向运动, 可以在该两个轴承 1-14 之间的第一销轴 1-53上套设抵挡轴承 1-14的衬套(未图示),应当清楚, 滚针轴承的数目可以不局限于两个。 此外, 在第一销轴 1-53 的两端还设 有卡簧 1-13, 卡簧 1-13用于防止第一销轴 1-53的轴向蹿动。
如图 8所示, 摆臂调节架 1-6的中臂 1-63上设有第三安装孔 1-66, 摆臂调节架 1-6通过第三安装孔 1-66与连杆 1-7铰接。连杆 1-7做平面运 动时, 能够带动摆臂调节架 1-6绕第一安装孔 1-64转动。
如图 6所示, 连杆 1-7包括杆体 1-71, 杆体 1-71 的一端设有所述孔 1-72、 另一端设有叉部 1-73。 图 7为图 6中摆臂调节架与连杆连接后的示 意图,如图 7所示,摆臂调节架 1-6的中臂 1-63插入叉部 1-73的缝隙中, 且叉部 1-73上设有与第三安装孔 1-66对应的第四安装孔 1-74, 在第三安 装孔 1-66和第四安装孔 1-74中插入连杆销钉 1-10, 就能够将摆臂调节架 1-6和连杆 1-7装配在一起。
再次参见图 5和图 6, 与偏心轴 1081连接的所述驱动机构包括与偏 心轴 1081连接的蜗轮 1011、 与蜗轮 1011啮合的蜗杆 1012、 以及与蜗杆 1012 连接的驱动源, 驱动源可以为电机, 或者可以为电机以及与电机连 接的变速机构, 如减速器。 驱动源驱动蜗杆 1012旋转, 蜗杆 1012带动与 之啮合的涡轮 1011转动, 从而使涡轮 1011 带动与之连接的偏心轴 1081 转动, 这样偏心轴 1081上的偏心轮 1-8转动就能带动连杆 1-7做平面运 动。
连杆 1 -7做平面运动即带动摆臂调节架 1-6绕第一安装孔 1 -64转动, 这也使得摆臂 105的第一销轴 1 -53绕第一安装孔 1 -64转动, 由于第一安 装孔 1-64与第二销轴 1 -54同轴线设置, 因此可以实现摆臂 105的第一旋 转中心 1 -51 围绕第二旋转中心 1 -52转动, 进而改变了气门升程。 如图 5所示 (图 6中省略了液压挺柱的绘制 ), 气门摇臂 103上还连 接有液压挺柱 1015 , 液压挺柱 1015能够使凸轮轴 104上的凸轮与摆臂滚 子 1 -56之间的接触、 以及气门摇臂 103与摆臂 105的工作部 1-57之间的 接触保持零间隙。 可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 2
本实施例中可变气门升程驱动装置的结构和功能与上述可变气门升 程驱动装置之实施例 1的结构和功能基本上相同,因此为了不使本发明实 施例产生不必要的模糊,本实施例仅描述与可变气门升程驱动装置之实施 例 1的不同之处, 相同之处予以省略。 此外需要注意的是, 虽然省略了相 同之处的描述,但对于与可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 1的特征相同的 特征, 本实施例附图中釆用相同或类似的附图标记进行表示。 图 8为本发明可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 2提供的可变气门升程 驱动装置的结构示意图; 图 9为图 8 的分解结构示意图。 如图 8和图 9 所示, 本实施例中的连杆 2-7 包括第一杆体 2-75、 与第一杆体 2-75的端 部垂直相连且朝第一杆体 2-75的同一侧延伸的两个侧杆 2-76、 以及与第 一杆体 2-75的中部垂直相连且朝第一杆体 2-75的另一相反侧延伸的中杆 2-77 ; 其中, 两个侧杆 2-76 上同轴地设有与第一通孔对应的第五安装孔 2-78 , 第一销轴 2-53 可以通过间隙配合的方式安装在该第五安装孔 2-78 内, 且连杆 2-7通过第五安装孔 2-78与摆臂调节架 2-6铰接; 中杆 2-77 设有第六安装孔 2-79 , 第六安装孔 2-79中安装有偏心轮 108 , 偏心轮 108 的偏心轴 1081连接有驱动机构。
本实施例中的摆臂调节架 2-6包括第二杆体 2-67 , 第二杆体 2-67上 设有与第一通孔对应的第七安装孔 2-68、 第一销轴 2-53通过过盈配合的 方式安装在第七安装孔 2-68 内, 且摆臂调节架 2-6通过第七安装孔 2-68 与连杆 2-7铰接; 第二杆体 2-67还设有第八安装孔 2-69 , 销钉 2-9可以 通过间隙配合的方式安装在第八安装孔 2-69内, 且该第二杆体 2-67能够 围绕销钉 2-9摆动。 不难看出,将第一销轴 2-53安装在第五安装孔 2-78后,第一销轴 2-53 与第五安装孔 2-78为面接触, 将偏心轮 108安装在第六安装孔 2-79后, 偏心轮 108与第六安装孔 2-79为面接触, 这种面接触的方式会使相接触 的两零件之间的接触面积比较大,较好地减少相接触的两零件之间的磨损 (即对于本实施例可以减小偏心轮 108与连杆 2-7之间的磨损, 以及减少 连杆 2-7与第一销轴 2-53之间的磨损)。 同时还需要说明的是, 连杆 2-7和第一销轴 2-53之间形成一个运动 副, 摆臂调节架 2-6和销钉 2-9之间形成另一个运动副。 不难看出, 该两 个运动副结构均比较简单, 两个铰接运动副的结构强度大, 而且运动副的 数量相对较少,这样还比较有利于整个 V VL驱动装置的结构强度。同时, 这也是本实施例与可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 1 相比的更为优选之 处。 上述结构的运动过程为:凸轮轴 104转动时带动摆臂 105围绕其第一 旋转中心摆动可以驱动气门连杆 102 进行直线往复运动以实现气门 101 的打开或闭合; 由于第二旋转中心与销钉 2-9同轴线设置, 且销钉 2-9固 定不动, 因此连杆 2-7驱动第一销轴 2-53 时带动摆臂 105 围绕销钉 2-9 的轴线转动, 即实现摆臂 105围绕其第二旋转中心转动, 以调整第一旋转 中心的位置,这样当第一旋转中心位于一个位置处时可以实现一种气门升 程,当调整第一旋转中心使其位于另一个不同位置处时可以实现另一种不 同的气门升程,因此可以根据发动机的不同使用工况对气门升程进行改变。 上述提到的销钉 2-9 固定不动可以为固定在发动机缸盖 (图中未示) 上, 或者固定在凸轮轴的轴承座(图中未示)上, 或者是其它固定于发动 机内的结构, 为了便于解释, 下面的实施例中均以销钉 2-9固定在凸轮轴 的轴 7 座上为例而进行说明。 另外, 第二旋转中心和销钉 2-9也可以如上述所讲为同轴线设置, 但 也可以不同轴线,在本实施例中优选地将第二旋转中心和销钉 2-9同轴线 设置, 这样便于优化设置气门升程量、 摆臂的摆动角度等其它参数, 以使 摆臂的运动比较简单而灵活。 补充说明的是, 摆臂的摆动角度根据实际的 应用情况而具体优化设定,因此在本发明实施中不对摆臂的摆动角度做具 体的限定。 从前文所述可以看出, 第一销轴 2-53和销钉 2-9形成一个不可相对 运动的结构, 由于销钉 2-9固定在凸轮轴 104的轴 座上, 因此该轴 座 对第一销轴 2-53 的轴向进行定位, 同时结合图 10 不难看出, 这样摆臂 105在偏心轮 108和第一销轴 2-53 的共同作用下保证摆臂 105与气门摇 臂滚子 2-73的相对位置不发生变化。 从上述内容中还可以知道,摆臂 105在凸轮轴 104的驱动下做往复摆 动, 而为了在此过程中避免摆臂 105 发生飞脱的现象 (即摆臂滚子 2-56 与凸轮 1041分离),可以布置一个例如图 8或图 9所示的涨紧弹簧 2-90 , 该涨紧弹簧 2-90 中间部分固定在发动机缸盖上、 两端接触摆臂 105 , 这 样可以使摆臂滚子 2-56始终与凸轮 1041保持接触。 气门通常包括用于向燃烧室内提供含油的气体混合物的进气门和用 于排出燃烧后产生的废气的出气门, 由于发动机内通常具有多个燃烧室, 每个燃烧室内可以安装至少一个以上的进气门和 /或一个以上的出气门, 其中两个以上的进气门或出气门可以由同一个可变气门升程驱动装置来 驱动, 且两个以上进气门或出气门的升程可以相同或不同。 为了可以使读 者清楚地了解本发明, 下面以同一个可变气门升程( VVL )驱动装置驱动 两个升程量相同的进气门或出气门为例来进行具体地说明: 参照图 8 至图 10 , 首先通过间隙配合的方式沿轴向依次在摆臂 105 的第一通孔内安装一个滚针轴承 2- 14、 一个衬套、 一个滚针轴承 2- 14 , 然后将第一销轴 2-53 沿第一通孔的一端压入两个滚针轴承 2- 14和衬套, 并使第一销轴 2-53的两端均伸出第一通孔的两端, 在第一销轴 2-53两端 伸出第一通孔的部分通过间隙配合的方式安装在连杆 2-7 的第五安装孔 2-78 内 , 连杆 2-7的第六安装孔 2-79安装偏心轴 1081 , 并使偏心轮 108 与第六安装孔 2-79面接触。 在图 9所示的摆放状态下, 摆臂 105的顶部 设置一个摆臂滚子 2-56、 底部设置两个工作部 2-57 , 两个工作部 2-57上 的具有相同的驱动面, 即弧面的半径、 弧长相同, 平面的长度均相同, 这 样在凸轮轴 104驱动摆臂滚子 2-56时, 可以同时使两个气门的升程量相 同。
偏心轮 108在转动时通过连杆 2-7带动摆臂 105绕销钉 2-9 (与第二 旋转中心同轴线) 摆动一定角度, 这时两个工作部 2-57 的弧面与气门摇 臂滚子 2-73的接触位置发生改变。 在凸轮轴 104转动时带动摆臂 105 围 绕其第一旋转中心摆动一定角度后,可以同时使两个气门的升程量同时增 大或减小。不难再次看出, VVL驱动装置可以实现连续地可变气门升程, 即可以根据发动机的不同工况来实现不同的气门的升程,比较有效地响应 地发动机的各种工况。 例如对于响应低速小负荷或高速大负荷工况而言, 可以降低该工况下的泵气损失和机械损失。 工作部 2-57具有驱动气门连杆 102运动的驱动面, 该驱动面包括与 气门摇臂滚子 2-73的外圓面相切的弧面、以及与弧面相切的平面。在 VVL 不工作的状态下 (即气门连杆 102在静止状态下), 弧面与气门摇臂滚子 2-73的外圓面接触, 在 VVL工作的状态下, 平面与气门摇臂滚子 2-73的 外圓面接触。 如果改变上述其中一个工作部 2-57 的弧面的半径、 弧长, 以及平面的长度, 便可以实现同一个可变气门升程( VVL )驱动装置两个 升程量不相同的进气门或出气门。 可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 3
本实施例中可变气门升程驱动装置的结构和功能与上述可变气门升 程驱动装置之实施例 1的结构和功能基本上相同,因此为了不使本发明实 施例产生不必要的模糊,本实施例仅描述与可变气门升程驱动装置之实施 例 1的不同之处, 相同之处予以省略。 此外需要注意的是, 虽然省略了相 同之处的描述,但对于与可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 1的特征相同的 特征, 本实施例附图中釆用相同或类似的附图标记进行表示。 在本实施例描述的可变气门升程驱动装置中, 如图 11和 12所示, 所 述摆臂调节架 3-6 包括底臂 3-61、 与底臂 3-61相连且朝底臂 3-61 的同 一侧延伸的两个侧臂 3-62、 与底臂 3-61相连且延伸方向与侧臂 3-62延 伸方向相反的中臂 3-63。 两个侧臂 3-62上同轴地设有第一安装孔 3-64, 摆臂调节架能够围绕 第一安装孔 3-64摆动。两个侧臂 3-62上还同轴的设有与摆臂 105上的第 一通孔对应的第二安装孔 3-65, 第二安装孔 3-65 内设有第一销轴 3-53。 如图 11所示, 本实施例描述的可变气门升程驱动装置还可以包括位于凸 轮轴 104及摆臂调节架 3-6之间的轴承座 3-110, 轴承座 3-110向下凸伸 有连接架 3-111, 且连接架 3-111上设有安装孔; 中臂 3-62上与第二旋 转中心的同轴线的第一安装孔 3-64 内设有销钉 3-9, 连接架 3-111上的 安装孔与第一安装孔 3-64通过销钉 3-9活动连接; 其中, 轴承座 3-110 还用于支承凸轮轴 104。 当然, 销钉 3-9也可以固定在发动机缸盖上, 同 样凸轮轴 104也可以使用发动机缸盖中的其他结构来支承。 中臂 3-63可以用于连接动力驱动机构; 其中, 中臂 3-63上可以设有 开口 3-153, 开口 3-153中可以安装有滑块 3-154, 滑块 3-154上可以具 有容纳孔;且,动力驱动机构可以包括偏心轴 1081及用于驱动偏心轴 1081 旋转的驱动单元; 容纳孔用于与偏心轴 1081上的偏心轮 108配合。 动力驱动机构用于驱动偏心轮 108 在容纳孔内旋转, 从而带动滑块 3-154在开口 3-153中滑动,并以此带动摆臂调节架 3-6绕销钉 3-9转动, 以此驱动摆臂 105绕第二旋转中心的中心轴转动,实现调节第一旋转中心 的位置的目的。 且滑块 3-154在开口 3-153中滑动, 两者之间为面接触, 减少相互之间的磨损, 延长了滑块 3-154与开口 3-153的使用寿命。 本实施例描述的可变气门升程驱动装置中,开口 3-153可以为矩形开 口, 滑块 3-154可以为矩形滑块, 矩形滑块与矩形开口之间可以通过凹槽 和凸块滑动配合。 如图 11所示, 矩形滑块的滑动面上沿滑动方向设有凹 槽, 矩形开口中设有与凹槽滑动配合的凸块 3-155。 或, 如图 13 ( a ) 所示, 矩形滑块 3-154的滑动面上沿滑动方向设有 凸块 3-155,矩形开口中设有与凸块 3-155 滑动配合的凹槽。 凹槽与凸块 滑动配合, 限制滑块垂直于滑动方向上的位移, 提高矩形滑块在矩形开口 中的滑动效率。
图 1 1 和图 1 3 ( a ) 仅为矩形开口结构与矩形滑块结构的组装结构示 意图。 当然, 滑块 3-154与开口 3-153也可以釆用能够保证两者之间滑动 配合的其他结构。 本实施例描述的可变气门升程驱动装置中, 滑块 3-154 的滑动面沿垂直于滑动方向上可以为 V型滑动面或倒 V型滑动面, 开口 3-153中设有与 V型滑动面滑动配合的倒 V型表面或与倒 V型滑动面滑动 配合的 V型表面。 具体可以为, 如图 1 3 ( b ) 所示, 滑块 3-154垂直于滑动方向的上表 面为 V型滑动面, 下表面为倒 V型滑动面; 相应的, 开口 3-153的上表面 为与 V型滑动面滑动配合的倒 V型表面,下表面为与倒 V型滑动面滑动配 合的 V型表面。 如图 1 3 ( c ) 所示, 滑块 3-154垂直于滑动方向的上表面为倒 V型滑 动面, 下表面为 V型滑动面; 相应的, 开口 3-153的上表面为与倒 V型滑 动面滑动配合的 V型表面,下表面为与 V型滑动面滑动配合的倒 V型表面。 本实施例描述的可变气门升程驱动装置中, 滑块 3-154在开口 3-153 中滑动的距离可以为 0mm-7mm。 通过调整滑块 3-154在开口 3-153中的滑 动距离, 控制摆臂调节机构绕第二旋转中心的中心轴转动的角度, 从而调 整摆臂 1 05第一旋转中心的位置。 可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 4
本实施例中可变气门升程驱动装置的结构和功能与上述可变气门升 程驱动装置之实施例 1的结构和功能基本上相同,因此为了不使本发明实 施例产生不必要的模糊,本实施例仅描述与可变气门升程驱动装置之实施 例 1的不同之处, 相同之处予以省略。 此外需要注意的是, 虽然省略了相 同之处的描述,但对于与可变气门升程驱动装置之实施例 1的特征相同的 特征, 本实施例附图中釆用相同或类似的附图标记进行表示。 本实施例中的摆臂调节架 4-6具体结构可以参照图 14所示的结构, 包括呈直线型的底臂 4-61、 与底臂 4-61的端部垂直相连且朝底臂 4-61的 同一侧延伸的两个侧臂 4-62、 以及与底臂 4-61 的中部垂直相连且朝底臂 4-61的另一相反侧延伸的中臂 4-63 ; 两个侧臂 4-62上同轴地设有第一安 装孔 4-64 , 第一安装孔 4-64可通过过盈配合的方式固定安装销钉 4-9; 两 个侧臂 4-62上还同轴地设有与第二通孔对应的第二安装孔 4-65 , 第二安 装孔 4-65可通过间隙配合的方式安装第一销轴 4-53 , 摆臂调节架 4-6 围 绕销钉 4-9摆动; 在图 14的摆放状态下, 中臂 4-63的顶部抵靠有偏心轮 108 , 偏心轮 108的偏心轴 1081连接有驱动机构。
从上述内容中可以知道,摆臂调节架 4-6在偏心轮 108的驱动下做往 复摆动, 而为了在此过程中避免摆臂调节架 4-6与偏心轮 108发生飞脱的 现象 (即摆臂调节架 4-6与偏心轮 108分离 ), 可以布置一个例如图 14所 示的复位弹簧 4-80 , 该复位弹簧 4-80固定 (例如固定于发动机缸盖上) 且抵靠于摆臂调节架 4-6上, 这样可以使偏心轮 108始终保持与摆臂调节 架 4-6接触。
为了保证复位弹簧 4-80始终位于发动机内的一个固定位置, 可以在 图 14所示的摆臂调节架 4-6的中臂 4-63底部设有限位凸台 4-34 , 复位弹 簧 4-80的一端抵靠在该限位凸台 4-34上。 当然也可以在摆臂调节架 4-6 的中臂 4-63底部设有凹槽,复位弹簧 4-80的一端伸入并 4氐靠于该凹槽内。 本实施例以及图中所示的结构也仅为举例说明,而不限于该实施例所述的 结构。
在此情况下, 作为本实施例可选的方案, 前述提及的摆臂 105、 摆臂 调节架 4-6、 凸轮 1041 以及偏心轮 108 的数目均为两个, 其中两个摆臂 上的摆臂滚子各自抵靠一个凸轮 1041 , 两个摆臂调节架 4-6各自抵靠一 个偏心轮 108。 其中, 两个摆臂调节架 4-6可以为图 14所示的共同抵靠 一个复位弹簧 4-80 , 也可以各自抵靠一个复位弹簧, 具体可以视实际应 用情况而定。
图 15是本发明实施例提供的可变气门升程驱动装置的另一种示例性 的结构图。 本实施例与图 14所示的实施例的区别在于: 图 14所示的实施 例中的复位弹簧 4-80和偏心轴 1081位于摆臂调节架 105的同侧, 本实施 例中的复位弹簧 4-80和偏心轴 1081位于摆臂调节架 4-6的两不同侧。 本 实施例的此种布局可以使摆臂调节架 4-6的受力比较平衡, 即偏心轮 108 驱动摆臂调节架 4-6的驱动力和复位弹簧 4-80对摆臂调节架 4-6的作用力 位于摆臂调节架 4-6的两侧, 摆臂调节架 4-6会由于受力均衡而比较灵活 地绕销钉 4-9转动。
以上, 仅为本发明的具体实施方式, 但本发明的保护范围并不局限于 此, 任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本发明揭露的技术范围内, 可轻易 想到变化或替换, 都应涵盖在本发明的保护范围之内。 因此, 本发明的保 护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
