Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the equipment on the gasoline engine, and particularly to a double balance shaft system of a large displacement single cylinder gasoline engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a kind of riding tool, consumers have certain requirements on the power, comfort, reliability and economy of all-terrain vehicles, and the engine is the part that most affects these performances in the riding tool. Single cylinder gasoline engine of various displacements is the main choice of current all-terrain vehicles. However, single cylinder gasoline engine as a piston internal combustion engine has inherent defects. The piston internal combustion engine converts the reciprocating linear motion of the piston in the cylinder into the rotary motion of the crankshaft through the crank connecting rod mechanism. In the process of motion, the crank, connecting rod, piston and other components will generate rotary inertia force and reciprocating inertia force. The rotary inertia force can be balanced by the crankshaft counterweight, while the reciprocating inertia force is an unbalanced free force. If no measures are taken, it will be transmitted to the vehicle frame, causing vehicle vibration and affecting the comfort of riding.

[0003] The direction of the reciprocating inertia force is along the center line of the cylinder. If the reciprocating inertia force is to be completely balanced, another inertia force of equal size and opposite direction is needed. The balance weight on the crank arm cannot completely balance the reciprocating inertia force, and the method of balance shaft needs to be used. For small and medium displacement single cylinder engines, single balance shaft can better eliminate the first order vibration of the engine, but for large displacement engines, due to the larger weight of the connecting rod small end and the piston and piston pin part, the commonly used single balance shaft system cannot meet the balance of the inertia force generated by the connecting rod small end and the piston part. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a double balance shaft system of a large displacement single cylinder gasoline engine, which can effectively balance the inertia force generated by the connecting rod small end and the piston part to eliminate the first order vibration of the engine, improve the comfort of riding and prolong the overall service life of the vehicle.

A left balance system and a right balance system are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the crankshaft assembly, symmetrically distributed on both sides. The left balance system has a left drive device, and the left side of the crankshaft drive gear 7 is connected to the left drive device. The right balance system has a right drive device, and the right side of the crankshaft drive gear 7 is connected to the right drive device. After the crankshaft drive gear 7 rotates, it drives the left balance system to rotate via the left drive device and the right balance system to rotate via the right drive device. In this embodiment, the left and right balance systems are respectively configured as a left balance shaft assembly and a right balance shaft assembly. The left balance shaft assembly mainly... The system includes a left balance shaft 8, on which a left balance arm 9 is fixed. The right balance shaft assembly mainly includes a right balance shaft 10, on which a right balance arm 11 is fixed. The left balance shaft 8 and the right balance shaft 10 are parallel to the crankshaft 2. The left balance arm 9 and the right balance arm 11 are located on both sides of the crankshaft arm 1 and are in contact with the crankshaft arm 1. The left drive device is configured as a left balance shaft gear 12, and the right drive device is configured as a right balance shaft gear 13. The left balance shaft gear 12 is press-fitted onto the left balance shaft 8, and the right balance... The crankshaft gear 13 is press-fitted onto the right balance shaft 10. The left balance shaft gear 12 and the right balance shaft gear 13 are in the same plane as the crankshaft drive gear 7. The crankshaft drive gear 7 meshes with the left balance shaft gear 12 and the right balance shaft gear 13 respectively, and the crankshaft drive gear 7 meshes with the left balance shaft gear 12 and the right balance shaft gear 13 in opposite directions. After the left balance shaft gear 12 rotates, it drives the left balance shaft 8 to rotate, generating a reverse centrifugal force. The right balance shaft gear 12 drives the right balance shaft 10 to rotate, generating a reverse centrifugal force. In this embodiment, the right side of the left balance arm 9 is located in the mounting groove I 14 provided on the left side of the crankshaft arm 1, and the left side of the right balance arm 11 is located in the mounting groove II 15 provided on the right side of the crankshaft arm 1.

In this embodiment, the left balance shaft 8 and the left balance arm 9 are set as one piece, and the right balance shaft 10 and the right balance arm 11 are set as one piece.

[0015] The process of using this invention is as follows: When the engine generates a reciprocating inertial force on the piston 4 through the combustion pressure, it is then transmitted to the crankshaft assembly via the connecting rod 3, causing the crankshaft to rotate. The rotation of the crankshaft causes the crankshaft drive gear 7, which is pressed onto the crankshaft 2, to rotate. After the crankshaft drive gear 7 rotates, it causes the left balance shaft gear 12 and the right balance shaft gear 13, which mesh with it, to rotate in opposite directions. The left balance shaft gear 12 causes the left balance shaft 8 to rotate in opposite directions, and the right balance shaft gear 13 causes the right balance shaft 10 to rotate in opposite directions. The reverse rotation of the left balance shaft 8 and the reverse rotation of the right balance shaft 10 generate opposite centrifugal forces to balance the reciprocating inertial force that the crank itself cannot completely balance by the rotation of the counterweight.

[0016] Not limited to this, any variations or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the scope of protection of this invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
