Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of engine valve driving, and particularly relates to a camshaft-free valve driving mechanism based on rotating motor driving.

Background

With the rapid development of economy in various countries, the vehicle holding capacity is increased rapidly, the energy and environmental problems become one of the important problems restricting the sustainable development in China, and the defect that the valve timing of the engine is fixed and unchanged becomes more and more prominent. Compared with the fixed valve timing, the variable valve timing can provide proper valve opening and closing time or lift range under the rotating speed and load in the whole working range of the engine, thereby improving the air intake and exhaust performance of the engine, better meeting the requirements of the engine on dynamic property, economy and exhaust emission under high rotating speed, low rotating speed, large load and small load, and integrally improving the comprehensive performance of the engine.

The cam phase modulation mechanism has the advantages of small change to a prime motor, simple mechanism principle and low cost, so the cam phase modulation mechanism is widely used. The cam phase modulation mechanism changes the rotation angle of a cam shaft relative to a crankshaft through operating a mechanical device, so that the valve timing phase is changed, the air intake and exhaust overlap angle and the air intake valve closing angle are adjusted, and the performance of an engine is influenced. A disadvantage of this construction is that the opening duration and lift of the valve cannot be changed. Most typically, the VANOS valve timing system developed by BMW company, and the dual-camshaft variable valve timing system changes the cam line type and provides different cam line types to drive the valve under different working conditions. Due to the limitation of the method, only polar adjustment can be realized, and the structure is complex.

The non-cam drive eliminates a driven piece and a cam shaft in the valve mechanism, and drives the valve in other modes such as electro-hydraulic mode or electromagnetic mode, and belongs to a real fully variable valve timing mechanism. In addition, the author Suyanling in the text of the design and control research on the cam-free electro-hydraulic valve actuating mechanism of the internal combustion engine adopts an electro-hydraulic driving valve, the system is connected with a high-pressure source and a low-pressure source through an electromagnetic valve and a one-way valve, and the pressure borne by the upper end face of a hydraulic piston is changed by controlling the inflow and outflow of high-pressure and low-pressure liquid into and out of a control chamber, so that the hydraulic piston is controlled to drive the valve to move, wherein the electro-hydraulic driving valve has the advantage of flexible adjustment, but the medium is liquid, is greatly influenced by temperature, has low response speed and has leakage problem in the hydraulic system.

Detailed description of the preferred embodiments

The invention is further illustrated with reference to the following figures and examples.

With reference to fig. 1 and 2, the camshaft-less valve driving mechanism driven by the rotary motor replaces the existing valve driving mechanism, gets rid of the constraint of the traditional camshaft, and enables each valve to be driven by the independent rotary motor 1, thereby realizing the fully variable motion of the valve.

The camshaft-free valve driving mechanism based on the driving of the rotating motor comprises a rotating motor 1, a valve assembly and a crank moving guide rod mechanism, wherein the rotating motor 1 is used as a power source for controlling a valve 4 and is used for providing power; each valve component is connected with one valve 4 and is used for controlling the opening and closing of the valve 4; the crank moves the guide rod mechanism for connecting the rotating motor 1 and the valve assembly.

Wherein crank removes guide arm mechanism includes swinging boom 2 and air door connecting piece 3, and the output shaft of rotating electrical machines 1 links firmly with 2 tops of swinging boom, when guaranteeing that rotating electrical machines 1 rotates, and both do not have relative slip, and the end mill of stretching out of axis of rotation is flat to D type axle, with the D type hole transition fit on 2 tops of swinging boom, through screwing up the bolt in addition, increases the pretightning force between swinging boom and the axis of rotation to increase friction guarantees not to have relative slip between axis of rotation and the swinging boom 2. A strip-shaped through hole is arranged at the center of the valve connecting piece 3, a second-order stepped hole which is vertical to the central axis of the strip-shaped through hole is arranged at the bottom of the valve connecting piece 3, the second-step stepped hole is internally provided with a first-step hole and a second-step hole from top to bottom in sequence, the diameter of the second-step hole is larger than that of the first-step hole, the valve 4 extends into the first-step hole and is in clearance fit with the first-step hole, the second-step hole is used for fixedly connecting a valve component, the central axis direction of the strip-shaped through hole is vertical to the motion direction of the air valve 4, the tail end of the rotating arm 2 is arranged in the strip-shaped through hole of the air valve connecting piece 3, the radius R2 of the protruding shaft at the tail end of the rotating arm 2 is equal to the radius R3 of two semicircles in the strip-shaped through hole in the valve connecting piece 3, so that the tail end of the rotating arm 2 and the strip-shaped through hole of the valve connecting piece 3 do not generate relative motion parallel to the direction of the valve, and the direction of the through hole of the valve connecting piece 3 is vertical to the motion direction of the valve 4;

the rotary motion of the rotary motor 1 is converted into the linear motion of the air valve 4 by the rotary arm 2 and the air valve connecting piece 3, the tail end of the rotary arm 2 is arranged in the strip-shaped through hole of the air valve connecting piece 3, other connecting pieces are not needed between the rotary arm and the rotary arm 2 at the moment, and after the air valve 4 and the rotary arm 2 are fixed in axial positions, the positions of the air valve connecting piece 3 and the rotary arm 2 are also fixed.

When the rotating arm 2 rotates around the output shaft, itThe tail end drives the valve connecting piece 3 to move up and down to realize the opening or closing of the valve 4, in order to ensure that the tail end of the rotating arm 2 can have enough position to move in the direction perpendicular to the valve 4 in the strip-shaped through hole of the valve connecting piece 3, the maximum displacement of the valve 4 is X, the rotating radius of the rotating arm 2 is R1, the length of the strip-shaped through hole of the valve connecting piece 3 needs to be ensured

The valve assembly comprises a valve lock clamp 5 and a valve clamp seat 6; the inner wall of the valve clamping seat 6 is of a conical structure and is accurately matched with the conical structure of the outer wall of the valve locking clamp 5, the valve clamping seat 6 is in threaded connection with the second-step hole, and the valve locking clamp 5 is arranged in the second-step hole and is located between the groove at the tail of the valve 4 and the valve clamping seat 6.

Because valve connecting piece 3 and valve cassette 6 adopt threaded connection, valve connecting piece 3 provides a perpendicular ascending power for valve cassette 6 on the one hand, and on the other hand provides a perpendicular decurrent power for valve collet 5, simultaneously because the conical structure of 5 outer walls of valve collet and 6 inner walls of valve cassette for valve collet 5 forms the tight type cooperation of clamp relatively firm with the recess of valve 4, thereby guarantees that valve connecting piece 3 can drive valve 4 rapid movement.

With reference to fig. 4, when the camshaft-less valve actuating mechanism driven by the rotary motor needs to be opened, the simplified schematic diagram of the camshaft-less valve actuating mechanism is shown in fig. 4c, the rotary arm 2 rotates in the forward direction, the valve connecting piece 3 and the valve are driven to move downwards by the tail end of the rotary arm 2, and at the moment, the tail end of the rotary arm 2 generates relative sliding in the through hole of the valve connecting piece 3 in the direction vertical to the movement direction of the intake valve, so as to open the valve 4; when the air valve needs to be closed, the simplified schematic diagram is shown in fig. 4a, and the rotating arm 2 rotates reversely to close the air valve 4. Because the rotating motor 1 can be connected with a high-precision position sensor, and the displacement precision is higher, the parameters such as the opening duration, the maximum lift and the like of the control valve 4 can be accurately controlled by controlling the rotation angle of the rotating motor 1, and an ideal valve lift curve is obtained. The relationship between the motor rotation angle theta and the valve lift X is as follows:

the lift can be changed by changing the rotating angle of the motor.

With reference to fig. 3, the camshaft-free valve driving mechanism based on the driving of the rotating electrical machine according to the present invention replaces the original camshaft and camshaft driving mechanism, and is applied to an engine, and gets rid of the constraint of the conventional camshaft, so that each valve 4 can be driven by the independent rotating electrical machine 1, thereby realizing the fully variable motion of the valve 4. The rotary motor 1 is fixedly connected with an engine cylinder head 8 through an L-shaped motor support 7, the bottom of the L-shaped motor support 7 is connected with the cylinder head 8 through a bolt, and the side edge of the L-shaped motor support is connected with a motor end cover through a bolt, so that the position of the mechanism can be fixed.

Taking the rotating arm 2 perpendicular to the moving direction of the valve 4 as an example of the complete closing position of the valve 4, when the engine works to an air inlet stroke, the ECU receives an opening instruction and an exhaust valve closing instruction of the air inlet valve, gives a lift curve command of the valve 4 under the working condition, and controls the rotating motor 1 driving the air inlet valve to drive the rotating arm 2 to rotate forward by an angleThe tail end of a rotating arm 2 of a crank moving guide rod mechanism drives a valve connecting piece 3 and a valve 4 to move downwards, so that an inlet valve 4 is opened, meanwhile, an ECU controls a rotating motor 1 driving an exhaust valve to drive the rotating arm 2 to rotate reversely by the same angle, so that the exhaust valve 4 is completely closed, and a mixture of air and gasoline is sucked into an air cylinder through the inlet valve and is further mixed in the air cylinder to form combustible mixture.

After the air inlet stroke of the engine is finished, the engine enters a compression stroke, the air inlet valve and the exhaust valve are required to be closed at the moment, and the ECU controls the rotating motor 1 for driving the air inlet valve to rotate reversely by an angle after receiving an air inlet valve closing instructionThe closing of the intake valve is achieved. At this time, the valve 4 needs to be kept in a closed state, so that the ECU needs to control the rotating electric machine 1 to have certain torque so that the rotating electric machine 1 has reverse directionThe tendency to rotate, thereby ensuring that the valve 4 is in close contact with the valve seat. As the piston moves, the volume of the cylinder is continuously reduced, and the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder is compressed, so that the air-fuel mixture can be rapidly combusted, and the effective thermal efficiency of the engine is improved.

After the compression stroke is finished, the spark plug mounted on the cylinder cover can produce electric spark to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder, the volume of the combusted gas can be quickly expanded, under the action of gas pressure, the piston can utilize connecting rod to drive crankshaft to make rotation and apply work, at this time the air intake valve and exhaust valve are still closed. And when the ECU receives the closing keeping command of the intake valve and the exhaust valve, the corresponding rotating electric machine 1 is controlled to be fixed at the absolute position corresponding to the closing of the valve 4, and the valve 4 is kept at the closed position.

After the working stroke is finished, the exhaust stroke is started, the exhaust valve is opened, the intake valve is still closed, the ECU receives an opening instruction of the exhaust valve, the rotating motor 1 for driving the exhaust valve is controlled to drive the rotating arm 2 to rotate in the forward direction, the tail end of the rotating arm 2 of the guide rod mechanism is moved by the crank to drive the valve connecting piece 3 and the valve to move downwards, the opening of the exhaust valve 4 is realized, and the expanded combustion gas is exhausted out of the cylinder through the exhaust valve under the pushing of the residual pressure of the combustion gas and the piston.

The engine completes a working cycle through four strokes of air intake, compression, work application and air exhaust. But during actual intake. The intake valve opens earlier than top dead center and closes later than bottom dead center. In the exhaust process, the exhaust valve is opened earlier than the bottom dead center and closed later than the top dead center, namely the crank angles occupied by the intake valve and the exhaust valve exceed 180 degrees, the intake valve is opened early and closed late for increasing the amount of mixed gas entering the cylinder and reducing the work consumed in the recent process, and the exhaust valve is opened early and closed for reducing the residual exhaust gas amount in the cylinder and the work consumed in the exhaust process.

Compared with the defects that the opening and closing time of an intake valve and an exhaust valve is fixed and the valve lift is not changed in the traditional camshaft-driven valve actuating mechanism, the camshaft-free valve actuating mechanism driven by the rotary motor can get rid of the constraint of a camshaft, so that each valve 4 can be driven by the independent rotary motor 1, the fully variable movement of the valve 4 is realized, the opening and closing time and the valve lift of the intake valve and the exhaust valve can be adjusted under different working conditions such as cold start, idling, small load, large load and the like, and the purposes of low oil consumption, low emission and high power output of an engine are achieved.

When the seating velocity of the valve 4 needs to be controlled, the ECU controls the angular velocity ω at which the rotating motor 1 rotates during seating, thereby controlling the angular velocity ω at which the rotating arm 2 swings, and controls the velocity v of the valve 4 during seating by moving the guide mechanism with the crank composed of the rotating arm 2 and the valve link 3. The relationship between the two is as follows: v ═ ω R1cos θ.

The invention is described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, and aims at a camless valve variable valve mechanism, adopts a rotary motor to drive a valve to move, has higher energy transfer efficiency and simple structure, can swing the constraint of a traditional camshaft, and enables each valve to be driven by an independent motor, thereby realizing the full variable movement of the valve and achieving the purposes of low oil consumption, low emission and high power output of an engine. It should be noted that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited by the above-mentioned manner, and those skilled in the art can make several modifications and decorations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
