Problems solved by technology

[0023] 1) The previous braking system has too much moment of inertia, which is not good for the normal operation of the engine;
[0024] 2) Air valve train components of previous braking systems had a higher tendency to not follow or crash;
[0025] 3) The previous braking system required special "outer" springs;
[0026] 4) Due to the special "outer" spring acting on the hydraulic piston, the previous braking system may not be fully activated at high engine speeds;
[0027] 5) The previous brake system required additional space to install the special "outer" springs mentioned above; and
[0028] 6) The previous brake system did not have proper dual oil pressure control valves

Embodiment 1

[0088] Figure 2A and 2B It is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the engine braking device of the present invention in its "off" and "on" positions respectively. Three main components are included in the figure: the drive mechanism 100 for engine braking, the exhaust valve actuator 200 and the exhaust valve 300 (300a and 300b). Since a rocker arm 210 is used to open the double valve 300, a valve bridge 400 needs to be added. The combination of the exhaust valve actuator 200 , the exhaust valve 300 and the valve bridge 400 is collectively referred to as an exhaust valve system.

[0089] Exhaust valve actuator 200 includes cam 230 , cam follower 235 , push rod or tube 201 , and rocker arm 210 . Usually at one end of the rocker arm 210 (at one end of the hair bridge or one end of the push rod), there is also a valve gap adjustment system. In this embodiment, the valve gap adjusting screw 110 is connected to the push rod 201 and is fixed on the rocker arm 210 by the...

Embodiment 2

[0101] image 3 It is a schematic diagram of the second engine braking device embodiment of the present invention in its "on" position, and Figure 2B The only difference in the illustrated embodiment is the use of a different support mechanism 250 . The support mechanism 250 of the present embodiment is located under the valve bridge 400, in the middle of the two exhaust valves 300a and 300b, instead of using the external air valve spring of the engine, a special support spring 312 is used to bias the spring seat 122 to a fixed position. On the retaining ring 302r of the reset piston terminal 182. The terminal end 182 of the reset piston is also used as a guide rod for the spring seat 122 to move up and down, which can be designed as a screw, and the retaining ring 302r can be a nut to adjust the height of the spring seat 122 . Spring seat 122 has a drain hole or cutout 124 for draining oil. The valve bridge 400 is supported by the spring seat 122 instead of being supporte...

Embodiment 3

[0116] Figure 6A and 6B is a schematic view of a third engine braking device embodiment of the present invention in its "off" and "on" positions. The engine is an overhead cam engine, so the valve clearance adjustment system is installed on the hair bridge 400 side. The slack adjustment system includes an adjustment screw 110 containing a fluid passage 115 . The lower side 112 of the adjusting screw 110 is connected with the foot pad 114 , and the upper side thereof is fixed on the rocking arm 210 by the locking nut 105 . This braking device is also suitable for the aforementioned push rod engine.

[0117] In this embodiment, brake pistons (also known as driving pistons or mechanical pistons) 160 a and 160 b (abbreviated as 160 ) are slidably disposed in the hole 415 of the valve bridge 400 . The details of the brake piston 160 are as Figure 6C shown. It contains a first surface 140 corresponding to the operating position and a second surface 145 corresponding to the n...

Abstract

The invention discloses an engine braking device (engine retarder) with double oil pressure control valves and a method for changing the movement of an engine air valve. The device comprises a braking piston which can slide between a non-operating position and an operating position in a valve bridge. When the oil pressure is not higher than first oil pressure, the braking piston is positioned at the non-operating position, and a gap is formed between the valve bridge and the air valve so as to span the movement generated by the bottom of a cam; and when the oil pressure is not lower than second oil pressure, the braking piston is moved to the operating position, and chaining is formed between the valve bridge and the air valve so that complete motion of the cam can be transmitted to the air valve. The engine braking device is used for a supporting mechanism for preventing components of the air valve train from not following, does not need special springs, and applies no load to the braking piston. The method also comprises the step of mending the valve lift curve by using a resetting mechanism. The device has good performance and does not increase the height and the weight of the engine; and the control valve of the device also has the advantages of compact structure, low stress, no leakage, no limit on installation direction, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to internal combustion engine braking, in particular to an engine braking device (engine retarder) and method with dual oil pressure control valves. Background technique [0002] It is well known to use an internal combustion engine as a means of braking, simply by temporarily converting the engine to a compressor. This conversion can be achieved by cutting off fuel, opening the exhaust valve at or near the end of the engine piston's compression stroke, allowing the compressed gas (usually air) to be released, and the energy absorbed by the engine to compress the gas during the compression stroke, It cannot be returned to the engine pistons during the subsequent expansion or "power" stroke, but is dissipated through the engine's exhaust and cooling system. The end result is effective engine braking. [0003] Engine braking is necessary for internal combustion engines, especially compression ignition engines, also known a...
