【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は,クランク軸に連動するカムと,エンジン本体の軸受孔に回転自在に支承されるロッカ軸と,このロッカ軸の一端部に固着されて先端部をカムに摺接させるカムフォロワと,ロッカ軸の他端部に固着されて先端部を,エンジン本体に装着される弁に連接するロッカアームとを備える,エンジンの動弁機構及びその組立方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
かゝるエンジンの動弁機構は,本出願人によって既に提案されており(特願2000−276459参照),この機構によれば,比較的大径のカムをエンジン本体の一側に配置し,またエンジン本体の直上には,ロッカアーム及び比較的小径のロッカ軸を配置することにより,動弁機構の上方への嵩張りを抑え,エンジンの全高の低下,延いてはエンジンのコンパクト化を図ることができる。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
かゝる動弁機構では,カムによる弁の開閉作動を適正に行わせるために,ロッカ軸の軸線周りのカムフォロワ及びロッカアーム相互の位相が適正である必要がある。
【0004】
そこで本発明は,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームを適正な位相をもってロッカ軸に固着したり,それら相互の位相が適正である否かを確認し得るようにした,エンジンの動弁機構及びその組立方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために,本発明は,クランク軸に連動するカムと,エンジン本体の軸受孔に回転自在に支承されるロッカ軸と,このロッカ軸の一端部に固着されて先端部をカムに摺接させるカムフォロワと,ロッカ軸の他端部にカムフォロワとの所定位相を保つ ように固着されて,先端部を,エンジン本体に装着される弁に連接するロッカアームとを備える,エンジンの動弁機構であって,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームに第1及び第2当接面をそれぞれ形成し,これら第1及び第2当接面がそれぞれ同時に当接する第1及び第2基準面をエンジン本体に形成したことを第1の特徴とする。
【0006】
この第1の特徴によれば,カムフォロワ及びロッカアーム相互のロッカ軸周りの位相は,組立時,それらの当接面をエンジン本体の基準面に当接させることにより,適正に設定,確認することができ,したがってカムの回転により弁をタイミング良く開閉することができる。
【0007】
また本発明は,第1の特徴を持つエンジンの動弁機構を組み立てるに当たり,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームの一方に一端部を圧入したロッカ軸を軸受孔に嵌装し,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームの一方の当接面を対応する基準面に当接させた状態で,ロッカ軸の他端部にカムフォロワ及びロッカアームの他方を,該他方の当接面を対応する基準面に当接させつゝ圧入することを第2の特徴とする。
【0008】
この第2の特徴によれば,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームのロッカ軸への結合と同時に,それらの適正位相の確認を行うことができ,品質と生産性の両方を満足させることができる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を,添付図面に示す本発明の実施例に基づいて説明する。
【0010】
図1は本発明の動弁機構を有するエンジンの縦断側面図,図2は図1の要部分解図,図3は図1の3−3線断面図,図4は図3の4−4線断面図,図5は図4の5−5線断面図,図6は図4の6−6線断面図,図7は上記動弁機構の組立方法を示す,図5との対応図,図8も同動弁機構の組立方法を示す,図6との対応図,図9は上記動弁機構における被動プーリ・カム結合体の正面図,図10は図9の10−10線断面図,図11は図10の11−11線断面図である。
【0011】
先ず,図1〜図4及び図6において,エンジンEのエンジン本体1は,クランク室2aを有するクランクケース2,一つのシリンダボア3aを有するシリンダブロック3,並びに燃焼室5及び該室5に開口する吸,排気ポート6,7を有するシリンダヘッド4からなっている。
【0012】
クランク室2aに収容されるクランク軸10は,クランクケース2の左右両側壁ベアリング11,11′を介して支承される。
【0013】
クランクケース2の左側壁には,その外側に隣接するオイルタンク12が一体に連設され,このオイルタンク12をクランク軸10の一端部が油密に貫通している。
【0014】
オイルタンク12の天井壁には,それを貫通するように上下方向に延びる偏平断面のベルト案内筒13が一体に連設される。このベルト案内筒13の下端は,オイルタンク12内のクランク軸10近傍まで延びて開口しており,また上端部は,シリンダヘッド4と隔壁14を共有するように,シリンダヘッド4に一体に連設される。シリンダヘッド4及びベルト案内筒13の上端周縁には,一連の環状シールビード15が形成され,隔壁14は,このシールビード15より上方に突出している。
【0015】
シリンダヘッド4の上端に結合されるヘッドカバー8の下端面には,上記シールビード15に対応する環状シール溝16が,また該カバー8の内面には,環状シール溝16の両側部間を連結する線状シール溝17がそれぞれ形成され,環状シール溝16には環状パッキン18が装着され,線状シール溝17には,環状パッキン18と一体成形された線状パッキン19が装着される。そして,環状パッキン18にはシールビード15が,線状パッキン19には隔壁14がそれぞれ圧接するように,ヘッドカバー8はシリンダヘッド4にボルト結合される。
【0016】
而して,ベルト案内筒13とヘッドカバー8の一半部とで第1動弁室21aが画成され,またシリンダヘッド4とヘッドカバー8の他半部とで第2動弁室21bが画成され,両動弁室21a,21bは前記隔壁14によって仕切られる。
【0017】
シリンダヘッド4には,吸気ポート6及び排気ポート7をそれぞれ開閉する吸気弁22i及び排気弁22eがシリンダボア7aの軸線と平行に配設される。
【0018】
次に,上記吸気弁22i及び排気弁22eを開閉駆動する本発明の動弁機構23について説明する。
【0019】
図1〜図6において,動弁機構23は,オイルタンク12内から前記第1動弁室21aにわたり配設される調時伝動装置23aと,第1動弁室21aから第2動弁室21bにわたり配設されるカム装置23bとで構成される。
【0020】
調時伝動装置23aは,オイルタンク12内のクランク軸13に固設した駆動プーリ24と,ベルト案内筒13の上部に回転自在に軸支される被動プーリ25と,これら駆動及び被動プーリ24,25間に巻き掛けたタイミングベルト26とからなっている。被動プーリ25には,ハブ30及びカム29が一体に形成され,これによって被動プーリ・カム結合体50が構成される。こうしてカム29は,シリンダヘッド4の一側に被動プーリ25と共に配置される。駆動及び被動プーリ24,25は歯付きであり,駆動プーリ24はベルト26を介して被動プーリ25を2分の1の減速比をもって駆動するようになっている。
【0021】
ベルト案内筒13の外側壁には,環状のシールビード15の内側で起立してヘッドカバー8の内面に当接もしくは近接する支持壁27が一体に形成されており,この支持壁27に設けた貫通孔28aと,隔壁14に設けた底付き孔28bにより支軸39の両端部が回転自在に支持され,この支軸39の中間部で前記ハブ30が回転自在に支承される。支軸39は,ヘッドカバー8の取り付け前に,貫通孔28aから,被動プーリ25及びカム29の軸孔35,底付き孔28bへと挿入されるもので,その挿入後,ヘッドカバー8をシリンダヘッド4及びベルト案内筒13に接合すると,ヘッドカバー8の内面が支軸39の外端に対向して,その抜け止めを果たすようになっている。
【0022】
シリンダヘッド4には,隔壁14から第2動弁室21b側に支軸39と平行に突出する一対の軸受ボス31i,31eが一体に形成されており,カム装置23bは,前記カム29と,上記軸受ボス31i,31eの軸受孔32i,32eにそれぞれ回転自在に支承される吸気ロッカ軸33i及び排気ロッカ軸33eと,第1動弁室21aでこれらロッカ軸33i,33eの一端部にそれぞれ圧入されてカム29側に延びる吸気カムフォロワ34i及び排気カムフォロワ34eと,第2動弁室21bで吸気及び排気ロッカ軸33i,33eの他端にそれぞれ圧入されて吸気弁22i及び排気弁22e側に延びる吸気ロッカアーム35i及び排気ロッカアーム35eと,吸気弁22i及び排気弁22eにそれぞれ装着されて,それらを閉弁方向に付勢する吸気ばね38i及び排気ばね38eとからなっている。吸気カムフォロワ34i及び排気カムフォロワ34eは,それらの先端部上面に形成されたスリッパ面36,36をカム29の下面に摺接させるように配置され,また吸気ロッカアーム35i及び排気ロッカアーム35eは,それらの先端部に螺着された調節ボルト37,37を吸気弁22i及び排気弁22eの上端にそれぞれ当接させるように配置される。
【0023】
支軸39及び吸気及び排気ロッカ軸33i,33eは,シリンダヘッド4及びベルト案内筒13上端の環状のシールビード15より上方に配置される。したがってヘッドカバー8を取り外した状態では,上記シールビード15に何等邪魔されることなく,その上方で支軸39及び吸気及び排気ロッカ軸33i,33eの組付け及び分解が可能であり,組立性及びメンテナンス性が極めて良好である。
【0024】
図5〜図8において,吸気カムフォロワ34i及び排気カムフォロワ34eには,各スリッパ面36,36と反対側の背面にロッカ軸33i,33eの軸線と平行な当接面40i,40eが形成され,また吸気ロッカアーム35i及び排気ロッカアーム35eには,調節ボルト37,37の突出側と反対側の背面に当接面41i,41eが形成される。一方,シリンダヘッド4には,吸気カムフォロワ34i及び吸気ロッカアーム35iをシリンダヘッド4の外側方に回動したとき,それらの当接面40i,40eにそれぞれ対面する基準面42i,42eが形成され,また排気カムフォロワ34e及び排気ロッカアーム35eをシリンダヘッド4の外側方に回動したとき,それらの当接面41i,41eにそれぞれ対面する基準面43i,43eが形成される。
【0025】
而して,吸気カムフォロワ34i及び吸気ロッカアーム35i相互の吸気ロッカ軸33i周りの位相が適正であれば,当接面40i,41i及び基準面42i,43iが互いに同時に当接し,同じく排気カムフォロワ34e及び排気ロッカアーム35e相互の排気ロッカ軸33e周りの位相が適正であれば,当接面40e,41e及び基準面42e,43eが互いに同時に当接するようになっている。上記全ての基準面42i,42e,43i,43eは,これらの同時加工を可能にすべく,同一高さに配置される。
【0026】
各吸気ロッカ軸33iに吸気カムフォロワ34i及び吸気ロッカアーム35iを組み付ける際には,先ず,例えば吸気カムフォロワ34iをロッカ軸33iの一端部に圧入して固着し,そのロッカ軸33iを軸受孔32iに嵌挿した後,図7(B)及び図8(B)に示すように,吸気カムフォロワ34iをシリンダヘッド4の外側方に回動して,その当接面40iを対応する基準面42iに当接させた状態でロッカ軸33iの他端部に吸気ロッカアーム35iを,その当接面41iを対応する基準面43iに当接させつゝ圧入して固着すれば,吸気カムフォロワ34i及び吸気ロッカアーム35i相互の吸気ロッカ軸33i周りの位相を適正に設定することができる。排気カムフォロワ34e及び排気ロッカアーム35e相互の排気ロッカ軸33e周りの位相も同様の要領で適正に設定し得ることは勿論である。またロッカアーム35i,35eを最初にロッカ軸33i,33eに圧入する場合も同様である。組み付け後は,図7(A)及び図8(A)に示すように,カムフォロワ34i,34e及びロッカアーム35i,35eをシリンダヘッド4の中央側の使用位置へ回動する。
【0027】
図4及び図5において,シリンダヘッド4と吸気カムフォロワ34i及び排気カムフォロワ34eとの各間には,吸気カムフォロワ34i及び排気カムフォロワ34eを吸気ばね38i及び排気ばね38eの作用方向に付勢する補助ばね45i,45eが介装される。各補助ばね45i,45eは,捩じりコイルばねからなるもので,そのコイル部46が対応するロッカ軸33i,33e外周の嵌装され,固定端部47がシリンダヘッド4の係止部49に係止され,可動端部48が対応するカムフォロワ34i,34eに,それを上方に付勢するように接続される。
【0028】
図9〜図11において,前記カム29は,支軸39に回転自在に支承される円筒状のハブ30と共に,焼結合金により一体に成形される。その際,ハブ30は,カム29の一端面から突出するように配置されると共に,その先端部外周面には面取り部30aが形成され,またカム29の一端面にはハブ30を囲繞する凹部51と,この凹部51底面に突出する放射状の突起52とが形成される。上記凹部51は,その内周面がカム29の外周面と略相似する形状をなしており,これにより凹部51周りのカム29の肉厚は略一定に設定される。
【0029】
ハブ30及びカム29には合成樹脂製の前記被動プーリ25がモールド結合される。その際,被動プーリ25の素材,即ち合成樹脂によってハブ30の外周面は面取り部30aと共に包まれ,またカム29の前記凹部51は充填される。こうして被動プーリ・カム結合体50が構成される。
【0030】
再び図1及び図2において,オイルタンク12には,給油口12aから注入された規定量の潤滑用オイルOが貯留される。このオイルタンク12内において,クランク軸13には,前記駆動プーリ24を挟んで軸方向に並ぶ一対のオイルスリンガ55a,55bが圧入等により固着される。これらオイルスリンガ55a,55bは,互いに正反対の半径方向を向くと共に,互いに先端を軸方向に離反させるように屈曲しており,クランク軸13により回転駆動されると,エンジンEの如何なる運転姿勢でも,両オイルスリンガ55a,55bの少なくとも一方がオイルタンク12内に貯留オイルOを攪拌,飛散させ,オイルミストを生成するようになっている。このとき,発生したオイルミストは,オイルタンク12から第1動弁室21aに進入して調時伝動装置23aを潤滑する一方,クランク室6a,第2動弁室21b,オイルタンク12へと循環して,クランク室2a内の各部及びカム装置22bを潤滑するようになっている。
【0031】
次に,この実施例の作用について説明する。
【0032】
クランク軸10の回転時,それと共に回転する駆動プーリ24がベルト26を介して被動プーリ25及びカム29を回転すると,そのカム29が吸気及び排気カムフォロワ34i34eを適時揺動させ,それらの揺動は,各対応するロッカ軸33i,33eを介して吸気及び排気ロッカアーム35i,35eに伝達して,それらを揺動させるので,吸気及び排気ばね38i,38eとの協働により,吸気及び排気弁22i,22eを適時開閉することができる。
【0033】
この間,カム29及びハブ30は,オイルタンク12内で生成されたオイルミストにより潤滑されるのであるが,これらカム29及びハブ30が無数の空腔を有する焼結合金製であるので,その空腔でオイルが保持されることなり,カムフォロワ34i,34eとの摺接部や支軸39との回転摺動部を摩耗を効果的に潤滑することができ,それらの耐久性の向上に寄与し得る。
【0034】
しかもハブ30は支軸39に回転自在に支承され,またその支軸39も第1動弁室21aの両側壁に回転自在に支承されるので,被動プーリ25及びカム29の回転中は,摩擦により引きずられて支軸39も回転することなり,ハブ30と支軸39との回転速度差が減少し,回転摺動部の摩耗の低減を図ることができ,それらの耐久性の更なる向上に寄与し得る。
【0035】
また駆動プーリ24からベルト26を介して駆動される被動プーリ25は合成樹脂製であるので,これが比較的大径であるにも拘わらず比較的軽量であり,被動プーリ・カム結合体50の軽量化,延いてはエンジンEの軽量化に寄与し得る。
【0036】
その上,この被動プーリ25はカム29及びハブ30にモールド結合されるので,特別な固着部材を不要としながら被動プーリ・カム結合体50を構成することができ,該結合体50の更なる軽量化に寄与し得る。
【0037】
さらに被動プーリ25のカム29及びハブ30に対するモールド結合に際して,被動プーリ25の素材,即ち合成樹脂で,ハブ30の外周面を面取り部30aと共に包み,且つカム29の凹部51を充填するので,被動プーリ25とハブ30及びカム29との回転方向及び軸方向の結合力を強化することができる。
【0038】
特に上記凹部51がカム29の外周面と略相似した形状をなすことで,被動プーリ25及びカム29の特に回転方向の結合力を効果的に高めることができ,のみならず凹部51周りのカム29の肉厚が略一定となるため,カム29の焼結時の熱歪みを抑えることができ,カムプロフィルの精度向上にも寄与し得る。
【0039】
一方,吸気カム29及び排気カム29のべース円部が吸気カムフォロワ34i及び排気カムフォロワ34eに対向して,それらに対する下方押圧力を解放するのに伴ない,吸気弁22i及び排気弁22eが吸気ばね38i及び排気ばね38eの付勢力で閉弁するときは,各ロッカアーム35i,35eは吸気弁22i及び排気弁22eにより上方に押し上げられ,各ロッカ軸33i,33eの軸線周りに揺動しながら,各ロッカ軸33i,33eの一端部を押し上げて,各ロッカ軸33i,33eに偶力を加えようとする。
【0040】
しかし,ロッカ軸33i,33eの他端部側には,カムフォロワ34i,34eに接続した補助ばね45i,45eの付勢力によって常時,上方への押圧力が加えられており,この押圧力により上記偶力は打ち消される。その結果,ロッカ軸33i,33eは,軸受孔32i,32eの上面に全体的へ押圧されることになるから,偶力によるガタつきを未然に回避し,異音や叩き摩耗の発生を防ぐことができる。
【0041】
ところで,比較的大径のカム29は被動プーリ25と共にシリンダヘッド4の一側に配置され,またシリンダヘッド4の直上には吸気及び排気ロッカアーム35i,35e及び比較的小径の吸気及び排気ロッカ軸33i,33eしか配置されないので,動弁機構23がシリンダヘッド4の上方に大きく嵩張ることがなく,エンジンEの全高の低下,延いてはエンジンEのコンパクト化を図ることができる。
【0042】
またロッカ軸33i,33eの両端部に固着されたカムフォロワ34i,34e及びロッカアーム35i,35eは,その組立時,それらの当接面40i,4 0e,41i,41eをシリンダヘッド4の基準面42i,42e,43i,43eに当接させて,ロッカ軸33i,33e周りの位相が適正に設定されているから,カム29の回転により吸気及び排気弁22i,22eをタイミング良く開閉することができる。
【0043】
特に,組立時,前述のように,ロッカ軸33i,33eの一端部に例えばカムフォロワ34i,34eを圧入し,そのロッカ軸33i,33eを軸受ボス31i,31eの軸受孔32i,32eに嵌挿した後,ロッカ軸33i,33eの他端部にロッカアーム35i,35eを圧入する際,カムフォロワ34i,34eの当接面40i,40eを対応する基準面42i,42eに当接させた状態でロッカアーム35i,35eの当接面41i,41eを対応する基準面43i,43eに当接させつゝ圧入するので,カムフォロワ34i,34e及びロッカアーム35i,35eのロッカ軸33i,33eへの結合と同時に,それらの適正位相の確認を行うことができ,品質と生産性の両方を満足させることができる。
【0044】
本発明は,上記実施例に限定されるものではなく,その要旨の範囲を逸脱することなく種々の設計変更が可能である。
【0045】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明の第1の特徴によれば,クランク軸に連動するカムと,エンジン本体の軸受孔に回転自在に支承されるロッカ軸と,このロッカ軸の一端部に固着されて先端部をカムに摺接させるカムフォロワと,ロッカ軸の他端部にカムフォロワとの所定位相を保つように固着されて,先端部を,エンジン本体に装着される弁に連接するロッカアームとを備える,エンジンの動弁機構であって,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームに第1及び第2当接面をそれぞれ形成し,これら第1及び第2当接面がそれぞれ同時に当接する第1及び第2基準面をエンジン本体に形成したので,カムフォロワ及びロッカアーム相互のロッカ軸周りの位相は,組立時,それらの当接面をエンジン本体の基準面に当接させることにより,適正に設定,確認することができ,したがってカムの回転により弁をタイミング良く開閉することができる。
【0046】
また本発明の第2の特徴によれば,第1の特徴を持つエンジンの動弁機構を組み立てるに当たり,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームの一方に一端部を圧入したロッカ軸を軸受孔に嵌装し,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームの一方の当接面を対応する基準面に当接させた状態で,ロッカ軸の他端部にカムフォロワ及びロッカアームの他方を,該他方の当接面を対応する基準面に当接させつゝ圧入するので,カムフォロワ及びロッカアームのロッカ軸への結合と同時に,それらの適正位相の確認を行うことができ,品質と生産性の両方を満足させることができる。

The head cover 8 is bolted to the cylinder head 4 so that the seal bead 15 is in pressure contact with the annular packing 18 and the partition wall 14 is in pressure contact with the linear packing 19.
[0016]
Thus, a first valve chamber 21a is defined by the belt guide tube 13 and one half of the head cover 8, and a second valve chamber 21b is defined by the cylinder head 4 and the other half of the head cover 8. The two valve chambers 21 a and 21 b are partitioned by the partition wall 14.
[0017]
In the cylinder head 4, an intake valve 22i and an exhaust valve 22e that open and close the intake port 6 and the exhaust port 7, respectively, are arranged in parallel to the axis of the cylinder bore 7a.
[0018]
Next, the valve mechanism 23 according to the present invention for opening and closing the intake valve 22i and the exhaust valve 22e will be described.

[0020]
The timing transmission device 23a includes a driving pulley 24 fixed to the crankshaft 13 in the oil tank 12, a driven pulley 25 rotatably supported on the upper portion of the belt guide cylinder 13, and the driving and driven pulleys 24, It consists of a timing belt 26 wound around 25. A hub 30 and a cam 29 are integrally formed on the driven pulley 25, thereby forming a driven pulley / cam combined body 50. In this way, the cam 29 is arranged with the driven pulley 25 on one side of the cylinder head 4. The driving and driven pulleys 24 and 25 are toothed, and the driving pulley 24 drives the driven pulley 25 through the belt 26 with a reduction ratio of 1/2.
[0021]
A support wall 27 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the belt guide tube 13 so as to stand up on the inner side of the annular seal bead 15 and come into contact with or close to the inner surface of the head cover 8. Both ends of the support shaft 39 are rotatably supported by the hole 28 a and the bottomed hole 28 b provided in the partition wall 14, and the hub 30 is rotatably supported by an intermediate portion of the support shaft 39. The support shaft 39 is inserted into the shaft hole 35 and the bottomed hole 28b of the driven pulley 25 and the cam 29 from the through hole 28a before the head cover 8 is attached. After the insertion, the head cover 8 is inserted into the cylinder head 4 When joined to the belt guide tube 13, the inner surface of the head cover 8 faces the outer end of the support shaft 39 so as to prevent it from coming off.
[0022]
The cylinder head 4 is integrally formed with a pair of bearing bosses 31i and 31e protruding in parallel with the support shaft 39 on the side of the second valve chamber 21b from the partition wall 14, and the cam device 23b includes the cam 29, An intake rocker shaft 33i and an exhaust rocker shaft 33e rotatably supported in bearing holes 32i and 32e of the bearing bosses 31i and 31e, respectively, and a first valve chamber 21a are press-fitted into one ends of the rocker shafts 33i and 33e, respectively. The intake cam follower 34i and the exhaust cam follower 34e that extend toward the cam 29 and the intake valve that is press-fitted into the other ends of the intake and exhaust rocker shafts 33i and 33e in the second valve chamber 21b and extends toward the intake valve 22i and the exhaust valve 22e. Mounted on the rocker arm 35i and the exhaust rocker arm 35e, the intake valve 22i and the exhaust valve 22e, respectively, in the valve closing direction It consists the energization to the intake spring 38i and an exhaust spring 38e. The intake cam follower 34i and the exhaust cam follower 34e are arranged so that the slipper surfaces 36, 36 formed on the upper surfaces of the tip portions thereof are in sliding contact with the lower surface of the cam 29, and the intake rocker arm 35i and the exhaust rocker arm 35e are arranged at their tips. The adjustment bolts 37, 37 screwed to the respective portions are arranged so as to abut on the upper ends of the intake valve 22i and the exhaust valve 22e, respectively.
[0023]
The support shaft 39 and the intake and exhaust rocker shafts 33 i and 33 e are disposed above the annular seal beads 15 at the upper ends of the cylinder head 4 and the belt guide cylinder 13. Therefore, when the head cover 8 is removed, the support shaft 39 and the intake and exhaust rocker shafts 33i and 33e can be assembled and disassembled without being disturbed by the seal bead 15, thereby assembling and maintaining. The property is very good.
[0024]
5 to 8, the intake cam follower 34i and the exhaust cam follower 34e are provided with contact surfaces 40i, 40e parallel to the axis of the rocker shafts 33i, 33e on the back surface opposite to the slipper surfaces 36, 36, respectively. In the intake rocker arm 35i and the exhaust rocker arm 35e, contact surfaces 41i and 41e are formed on the back surface opposite to the protruding side of the adjusting bolts 37 and 37. On the other hand, when the intake cam follower 34i and the intake rocker arm 35i are rotated outward from the cylinder head 4, reference surfaces 42i and 42e are formed on the cylinder head 4 so as to face the contact surfaces 40i and 40e, respectively. When the exhaust cam follower 34e and the exhaust rocker arm 35e are rotated outward of the cylinder head 4, reference surfaces 43i and 43e that face the contact surfaces 41i and 41e, respectively, are formed.
[0025]
Thus, if the phase around the intake rocker shaft 33i between the intake cam follower 34i and the intake rocker arm 35i is appropriate, the contact surfaces 40i, 41i and the reference surfaces 42i, 43i are simultaneously in contact with each other, and the exhaust cam follower 34e and the exhaust If the phase around the rocker arm 35e around the exhaust rocker shaft 33e is appropriate, the contact surfaces 40e and 41e and the reference surfaces 42e and 43e are in contact with each other simultaneously. All the reference surfaces 42i, 42e, 43i, 43e are arranged at the same height so as to enable simultaneous processing thereof.
[0026]
When assembling the intake cam follower 34i and the intake rocker arm 35i to the intake rocker shaft 33i, first, for example the intake cam follower 34i and secured by press-fitting one end portion of the rocker shaft 33 i of the bearing hole 32 and the rocker shaft 33 i i after fitting inserted in the reference plane 42 as shown in FIG. 7 (B) and FIG. 8 (B), the which rotates the intake cam follower 34i outside of the cylinder head 4, corresponding its abutment surface 40 i If the intake rocker arm 35i is fixed to the other end portion of the rocker shaft 33i with the contact surface 41i being in contact with the corresponding reference surface 43i while being in contact with i , the intake cam follower is fixed. The phase around the intake rocker shaft 33i between the 34i and the intake rocker arm 35i can be set appropriately. Of course, the phase around the exhaust rocker shaft 33e between the exhaust cam follower 34e and the exhaust rocker arm 35e can be set appropriately in the same manner. The same applies when the rocker arms 35i and 35e are first press-fitted into the rocker shafts 33i and 33e. After the assembly, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 8A, the cam followers 34i and 34e and the rocker arms 35i and 35e are rotated to the use position on the center side of the cylinder head 4.
[0027]
4 and 5, an auxiliary spring 45i that urges the intake cam follower 34i and the exhaust cam follower 34e in the direction of action of the intake spring 38i and the exhaust spring 38e between the cylinder head 4 and the intake cam follower 34i and the exhaust cam follower 34e. , 45e. Each auxiliary spring 45i, 45e is a torsion coil spring, and the coil portion 46 is fitted on the outer periphery of the corresponding rocker shaft 33i, 33e, and the fixed end portion 47 is attached to the locking portion 49 of the cylinder head 4. The movable end 48 is locked and connected to the corresponding cam follower 34i, 34e so as to bias it upward.
[0028]
9 to 11, the cam 29 is integrally formed of a sintered alloy together with a cylindrical hub 30 that is rotatably supported by a support shaft 39. At this time, the hub 30 is disposed so as to protrude from one end surface of the cam 29, a chamfered portion 30 a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tip end portion, and a recess surrounding the hub 30 is formed on one end surface of the cam 29. 51 and a radial protrusion 52 protruding from the bottom surface of the recess 51 are formed. The recess 51 has a shape whose inner peripheral surface is substantially similar to the outer peripheral surface of the cam 29, whereby the thickness of the cam 29 around the recess 51 is set to be substantially constant.
[0029]
The driven pulley 25 made of synthetic resin is mold-coupled to the hub 30 and the cam 29. At that time, the outer peripheral surface of the hub 30 is wrapped with the chamfered portion 30a by the material of the driven pulley 25, that is, the synthetic resin, and the concave portion 51 of the cam 29 is filled. Thus, the driven pulley / cam combined body 50 is configured.
[0030]
1 and 2 again, the oil tank 12 stores a predetermined amount of lubricating oil O injected from the oil supply port 12a. In the oil tank 12, a pair of oil slinger 55a, 55b arranged in the axial direction with the drive pulley 24 interposed therebetween is fixed to the crankshaft 13 by press fitting or the like. These oil slinger 55a and 55b are directed to opposite radial directions and bent so that their tips are separated from each other in the axial direction. When the oil slinger 55a and 55b are driven to rotate by the crankshaft 13, At least one of the oil slinger 55a and 55b stirs and scatters the stored oil O in the oil tank 12 to generate oil mist. At this time, the generated oil mist enters the first valve chamber 21a from the oil tank 12 and lubricates the timing transmission device 23a, while circulating to the crank chamber 6a, the second valve chamber 21b, and the oil tank 12. Thus, each part in the crank chamber 2a and the cam device 22b are lubricated.
[0031]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
[0032]
When the crankshaft 10 rotates, the driving pulley 24 that rotates together with the crankshaft rotates the driven pulley 25 and the cam 29 via the belt 26, and the cam 29 swings the intake and exhaust cam followers 34i and 34e in a timely manner, The movement is transmitted to the intake and exhaust rocker arms 35i and 35e through the corresponding rocker shafts 33i and 33e to swing them, so that the intake and exhaust valves are operated in cooperation with the intake and exhaust springs 38i and 38e. 22i and 22e can be opened and closed in a timely manner.
[0033]
During this time, the cam 29 and the hub 30 are lubricated by the oil mist generated in the oil tank 12, but the cam 29 and the hub 30 are made of a sintered alloy having innumerable cavities. The oil is held in the cavity, and the sliding contact portions with the cam followers 34i and 34e and the rotational sliding portion with the support shaft 39 can be effectively lubricated, contributing to the improvement of their durability. obtain.
[0034]
In addition, the hub 30 is rotatably supported by the support shaft 39, and the support shaft 39 is also rotatably supported by the both side walls of the first valve chamber 21a. Therefore, during the rotation of the driven pulley 25 and the cam 29, friction occurs. The support shaft 39 is also rotated by being dragged by the rotation, the difference in rotational speed between the hub 30 and the support shaft 39 is reduced, and the wear of the rotating sliding portion can be reduced, and the durability thereof is further improved. Can contribute.
[0035]
Further, since the driven pulley 25 driven from the driving pulley 24 via the belt 26 is made of synthetic resin, the driven pulley 25 is relatively light in spite of its relatively large diameter, and the driven pulley / cam combined body 50 is lightweight. Can contribute to weight reduction of the engine E.
[0036]
In addition, since the driven pulley 25 is molded and bonded to the cam 29 and the hub 30, the driven pulley / cam combined body 50 can be formed without using any special fixing member, and the combined body 50 can be further reduced in weight. Can contribute to the development.
[0037]
Further, when the driven pulley 25 is molded to the cam 29 and the hub 30, the material of the driven pulley 25, that is, a synthetic resin, wraps the outer peripheral surface of the hub 30 together with the chamfered portion 30 a and fills the concave portion 51 of the cam 29. The coupling force in the rotational direction and the axial direction between the pulley 25, the hub 30 and the cam 29 can be enhanced.
[0038]
In particular, since the concave portion 51 has a shape substantially similar to the outer peripheral surface of the cam 29, the coupling force in the rotational direction of the driven pulley 25 and the cam 29 can be effectively increased. Since the thickness of 29 is substantially constant, thermal distortion during the sintering of the cam 29 can be suppressed, which can contribute to improving the accuracy of the cam profile.
[0039]
On the other hand, as the base circles of the intake cam 29 and the exhaust cam 29 face the intake cam follower 34i and the exhaust cam follower 34e and release the downward pressing force on them, the intake valve 22i and the exhaust valve 22e are inhaled. When the valve 38 is closed by the urging force of the spring 38i and the exhaust spring 38e, the rocker arms 35i, 35e are pushed upward by the intake valve 22i and the exhaust valve 22e and swing around the axis of the rocker shafts 33i, 33e. One end of each rocker shaft 33i, 33e is pushed up to try to apply a couple to each rocker shaft 33i, 33e.
[0040]
However, an upward pressing force is always applied to the other end side of the rocker shafts 33i, 33e by the urging force of the auxiliary springs 45i, 45e connected to the cam followers 34i, 34e. Power is countered. As a result, the rocker shafts 33i and 33e are entirely pressed against the upper surfaces of the bearing holes 32i and 32e, so that play due to couples can be avoided in advance and abnormal noise and tapping wear can be prevented. Can do.
[0041]
By the way, the relatively large-diameter cam 29 is disposed on one side of the cylinder head 4 together with the driven pulley 25, and the intake and exhaust rocker arms 35i and 35e and the relatively small-diameter intake and exhaust rocker shaft 33i are directly above the cylinder head 4. , 33e is not disposed, the valve operating mechanism 23 is not greatly bulky above the cylinder head 4, and the overall height of the engine E can be reduced, and the engine E can be made compact.
[0042]
Further, the cam followers 34i, 34e and the rocker arms 35i, 35e fixed to both ends of the rocker shafts 33i, 33e are arranged so that their contact surfaces 40i, 40e, 41i, 41e are connected to the reference surfaces 42i, 42i of the cylinder head 4, respectively. Since the phases around the rocker shafts 33i, 33e are set appropriately in contact with the surfaces 42e, 43i, 43e, the intake and exhaust valves 22i, 22e can be opened and closed with good timing by the rotation of the cam 29.
[0043]
In particular, at the time of assembly, as described above, for example, the cam followers 34i and 34e are press-fitted into one end of the rocker shafts 33i and 33e, and the rocker shafts 33i and 33e are inserted into the bearing holes 32i and 32e of the bearing bosses 31i and 31e. Thereafter, when the rocker arms 35i and 35e are press-fitted into the other end portions of the rocker shafts 33i and 33e, the rocker arms 35i and 35e are brought into contact with the corresponding reference surfaces 42i and 42e, respectively. Since the abutting surfaces 41i and 41e of the 35e are brought into contact with the corresponding reference surfaces 43i and 43e and press-fitted, the cam followers 34i and 34e and the rocker arms 35i and 35e are coupled to the rocker shafts 33i and 33e at the same time. The phase can be checked and both quality and productivity can be satisfied.
[0044]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the gist thereof.
[0045]
