Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motorcycle engines, in particular to a motorcycle engine. Background Art

[0002] Motorcycle engines are usually divided into two categories: straddle bike engines and scooter engines. Motorcycles are widely used in people's daily travel because they are light and flexible, fast and have low energy consumption.

[0003] At present, as the demand for entertainment functions of motorcycle products becomes a trend, the demand for riding comfort and driving smoothness of motorcycles is becoming more and more obvious; the power of a motorcycle engine comes from the combustion of gas in the combustion chamber, and the expansion of the combustion gas pushes the piston, and the connecting rod transmits the power to the crankshaft. The rotational inertia force and reciprocating inertia force generated during the operation of the crankshaft, connecting rod and piston are both periodically changing. If these forces cannot offset each other in the body, coupled with the fluctuation of the output torque, it will cause the engine to be unbalanced and cause vehicle vibration; the speed change mechanism of the straddle motorcycle engine mostly realizes speed change through multi-speed gear switching and engagement. In order to adapt to the matching of the transmission ratio of each gear and the engine power, generally when the engine is output at low load, the vehicle can move forward smoothly in low gear, and power will be uneven or stalled in high gear; the vibration of the vehicle and the uneven output power will affect the riding comfort and driving smoothness. Utility Model Content

This not only effectively eliminates the vibration of the engine and minimizes the internal bending moment of each main journal, but also increases the moment of inertia, making the output torque stable, improving the vehicle's riding comfort and driving smoothness, and allowing the engine to exhibit smooth power even at the highest gear when outputting at the lowest load.

[0011] The balancing shaft includes a balancing shaft journal, a water pump driving gear, a balancing shaft driven gear assembly, and a balancing shaft balancing block arranged inside the balancing shaft journal.

[0013] The balancing shaft transmits power through the cooperation of the primary driving gear assembly and the balancing shaft driven gear assembly.

[0014] The clutch assembly is provided with a clutch gear.

[0015] The transmission main shaft assembly is provided with a main shaft first gear, a main shaft second gear, a main shaft third and fourth gear, a main shaft fifth gear and a main shaft sixth gear.

[0018] The primary drive gear buffer mechanism can reduce the impact force of the transmission between the clutch gear and the primary drive gear, thereby reducing transmission noise and making the output torque more stable.

[0019] The transmission countershaft assembly transmits power through the cooperation between the first gear of the main shaft and the first gear of the countershaft, or the second gear of the main shaft and the second gear of the countershaft, or the third and fourth gear of the main shaft and the third gear of the countershaft, or the third and fourth gear of the main shaft and the fourth gear of the countershaft, or the fifth gear of the main shaft and the fifth gear of the countershaft, or the sixth gear of the main shaft and the sixth gear of the countershaft.

[0020] The connecting rod piston assembly comprises a connecting rod assembly and a piston assembly; the large end of the connecting rod assembly is connected to the crankshaft throw, and the small end of the connecting rod assembly is connected to the piston assembly.
