Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile equipment, and in particular to a valve tappet device. Background Art

[0002] The function of the valve is to input air into the engine and discharge the exhaust gas after combustion, and the valve lifter is mainly used in the valve mechanism in the automobile engine, responsible for the intake and exhaust of the cylinder. When the whole mechanism is working, the crankshaft drives the camshaft, the camshaft drives the valve lifter, and the valve lifter drives the valve to open and close through the valve guide and corresponding parts. According to the needs of the working stroke of each cylinder of the engine, the intake and exhaust valves are opened and closed at a fixed time, and the movement of the piston is coordinated to accurately input the mixed gas into the cylinder and discharge the exhaust gas out of the cylinder. A certain gap is left in the valve and its transmission mechanism to compensate for the expansion of the valve after being heated. This gap is called valve clearance. When the valve clearance is too large, the valve will open later and the opening amplitude will also be reduced, resulting in insufficient intake and incomplete exhaust, which will reduce the engine power. At the same time, the noise and impact wear will also increase. When the valve clearance is too small, after the engine is running, the parts will expand due to heat, push the valve open, and make the valve not close tightly, causing air leakage, power reduction, and serious carbon deposition or burning on the sealing surface of the valve, and even the valve hits the piston, which increases the practicality of the valve lifter device. Therefore, it is necessary to check and adjust the valve clearance frequently. When adjusting the valve clearance, the existing valve lifter device generally adjusts the bolts thereon up and down to control the size of the valve clearance. However, this method has a single adjustment means and tools are required for adjustment. The adjustment process is relatively cumbersome and inconvenient. Summary of the invention

[0029] Working principle: The working steps of the valve lifter device are:

[0030] Step 1: The cam 100 is driven to rotate by the automobile driving mechanism, and the rotation of the cam 100 pushes the hydraulic tappet 200 and the tappet 210 to move, and the limiting ball 220 and the limiting shell 431 are used in conjunction, so that the movement of the limiting ball 220 always drives the limiting shell 431 to move, and then the rocker arm mechanism 400 is rotated, and the rotation of the rocker arm mechanism 400 pushes the valve 300 to move, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the valve 300;

[0031] Step 2: When the valve clearance of the automobile generator is too large or too small, the two baffles 4254 are pressed to move the baffles 4254 to the inside of the twisting shell 4251, and the connecting plate 4255 is pinched and rotated to rotate the twisting shell 4251. The rotation of the twisting shell 4251 causes the bevel gear 1 4252 to rotate, and the bevel gear 1 4252 is meshed with the two bevel gears 1 4252, so that the round rod 4271 and the screw 1 4273 are rotated, and the screw 1 4273 The screw tube 4274 is screwed together to move the screw tube 4274, thereby moving the rotating seat 4262, and the moving rotating seat 4262 moves the push rod 4261 and the rotating seat 1 426 to move, thereby moving the moving rod 1 422 and the moving rod 2 423 to move. The moving moving rod 1 422 and the moving rod 2 423 increase or decrease the overall length of the rocker arm mechanism 400, thereby controlling the contact time between the rocker arm mechanism 400 and the valve 300, and thereby preliminarily controlling the size of the valve clearance.

[0032] Step three: by rotating the torsion rod 428, the screw rod 4281 is moved, and the screw rod 4281 is screwed and connected with the threaded hole 4291, and then the rectangular groove 4231 is used to limit the rectangular block 429, so that the rectangular block 429 and the round block 410 are moved, and the position of the round block 410 is adjusted to control the size of the gap between the bottom of the round block 410 and the top of the valve 300, that is, the size of the valve clearance is further controlled, and the valve clearance is avoided to be too large, the valve 300 will open late and the opening amplitude will also be reduced, resulting in insufficient intake and incomplete exhaust, and the engine power will be reduced. At the same time, the noise and impact wear will also increase, and the valve clearance is avoided to be too small. After the engine is working, the parts expand due to heat, and the valve 300 is pushed open, so that the valve 300 is not closed tightly, causing leakage, power reduction, and serious carbon deposition or burning of the sealing surface of the valve 300, and even the valve 300 hits the piston, thereby improving the practicality of the valve tappet device.
