Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of engine technology, and in particular to a method for adjusting engine valve clearance. Background Technology
[0002] When a six-cylinder engine in a heavy-duty vehicle is running, the exhaust valves and brake valves reach relatively high temperatures. These valves undergo thermal expansion and slight deformation. Therefore, a clearance needs to be provided between the collapsible exhaust valve bridge, the brake valves, and the brake rocker arm to accommodate this thermal expansion and deformation. During normal engine operation, the brake rocker arm, collapsible exhaust valve bridge, and brake valves experience prolonged contact and wear, causing the clearance between these components to increase. Therefore, this clearance needs to be adjusted periodically.
[0003] In related technologies, auxiliary tools such as dials are added to the timing gear, or markings are engraved on the timing gear. Then, the crankshaft is rotated so that the scale value or mark on the timing gear representing the engine combustion chamber is flush with the top surface of the engine cylinder head. The valve of the corresponding combustion chamber is in the closed state, and the valve clearance of the corresponding combustion chamber can be adjusted.
[0004] However, the process of adjusting the valve clearance described above is cumbersome and inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a method for adjusting engine valve clearance to solve the problems existing in the prior art, namely, that the valve clearance adjustment process is cumbersome and inefficient. The engine valve clearance adjustment method provided by this application can simplify the valve clearance adjustment process, eliminating the need for auxiliary tools such as dials on the timing gear or markings on the timing gear, thereby improving the efficiency of valve clearance adjustment.
[0006] This application provides a method for adjusting the valve clearance of an engine. A timing gear is provided at the end of the engine camshaft. Timing marks and multiple combustion chamber marks evenly distributed circumferentially along the timing gear are provided on the end face of the timing gear facing away from the engine front end. A preset angle exists between each timing mark and its adjacent combustion chamber mark. The number of combustion chamber marks is greater than or equal to the number of combustion chambers in the engine. Each combustion chamber mark includes the numbers of two combustion chambers. The preset angle is smaller than the angle between two adjacent combustion chamber marks. The engine has an intake side of the cylinder head, a top surface of the cylinder head, and a crankshaft.
[0007] The engine valve clearance adjustment method includes the following steps:
[0008] Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and observe the timing gear from the front of the engine until the timing mark is aligned with the intake side of the engine cylinder head and flush with the top surface of the cylinder head, so that the piston in the combustion chamber of the engine is at top dead center.
[0009] Continue rotating the crankshaft clockwise until the front end of the engine rotates the crankshaft at the preset included angle so that one of the combustion chamber marking points is flush with the top surface of the cylinder head. Based on the two combustion chamber numbers displayed by the combustion chamber marking point, arbitrarily adjust the intake valve clearance of one of the two combustion chambers corresponding to the combustion chamber number, and then adjust the exhaust valve clearance and brake valve clearance of the other one.
[0010] Repeat the steps described above, rotating the crankshaft clockwise until one of the combustion chamber marking points is flush with the top surface of the cylinder head, until the intake valve clearance, exhaust valve clearance, and brake valve clearance of all the combustion chambers are adjusted.
[0011] In one possible design, adjusting the intake valve clearance of one of the combustion chambers includes:
[0012] When the base circle of the intake cam on the engine's camshaft abuts against the engine's intake rocker arm, the clearance between the intake rocker arm and the intake valve is adjusted until the clearance between the intake rocker arm and the intake valve is equal to a first preset value.
[0013] In one possible design, adjusting the exhaust valve clearance of the other includes:
[0014] When the base circle of the exhaust cam on the engine's camshaft abuts against the engine's exhaust rocker arm, the clearance between the exhaust rocker arm and the exhaust valve is adjusted until the clearance between the exhaust rocker arm and the exhaust valve is equal to a second preset value.
[0015] In one possible design, adjusting the brake valve clearance of the other includes:
[0016] When the base circle of the brake cam on the engine's camshaft abuts against the engine's brake rocker arm, the clearance between the brake rocker arm and the brake valve is adjusted until the clearance between the brake rocker arm and the brake valve is equal to a third preset value.
[0017] In one possible design, adjusting the clearance between the intake rocker arm and the intake valve includes:
[0018] Each intake rocker arm has a threaded connection at its end away from the camshaft, which is used to abut against the corresponding intake valve. A valve clearance gauge is placed between the corresponding intake valve and the adjusting bolt. The adjusting bolt is rotated to make the adjusting bolt press against the valve clearance gauge, so that the intake valve clearance between the adjusting bolt and the intake valve is equal to a first preset value. The valve clearance gauge is then removed.
[0019] In one possible design, adjusting the gap between the exhaust rocker arm and the exhaust valve includes:
[0020] Each exhaust rocker arm has a threaded connection at its end away from the camshaft, which is used to abut against the corresponding exhaust valve. A valve clearance gauge is placed between the corresponding exhaust valve and the adjusting bolt. The adjusting bolt is rotated to make the adjusting bolt press against the valve clearance gauge, so that the exhaust valve clearance between the adjusting bolt and the exhaust valve is equal to a second preset value. The valve clearance gauge is then removed.

[0022] Each brake rocker arm has a threaded connection at its end away from the camshaft, which is used to abut against the corresponding brake valve. A valve clearance gauge is placed between the corresponding brake valve and the adjusting bolt. The adjusting bolt is rotated to make the adjusting bolt press against the valve clearance gauge, so that the brake valve clearance between the adjusting bolt and the brake valve is equal to a third preset value. The valve clearance gauge is then removed.
[0023] In one possible design, the timing mark is located at the edge of the timing gear.
[0024] In one possible design, the combustion chamber marker is located at the edge of the timing gear.
[0025] This application provides a method for adjusting engine valve clearance. By setting a timing mark and multiple combustion chamber mark points on the timing gear, the valve clearance of the corresponding combustion chamber can be adjusted according to the combustion chamber number displayed by the combustion chamber mark point. This eliminates the need for external auxiliary tools such as dials or markings on the timing gear, simplifying the valve clearance adjustment process and improving the efficiency of valve clearance adjustment.

Detailed Implementation
[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0046] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.
[0047] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.
[0048] As mentioned in the background section, the exhaust valves and brake valves of a heavy-duty vehicle's six-cylinder engine operate at relatively high temperatures, resulting in thermal expansion and slight deformation. Therefore, a clearance needs to be provided between the collapsible exhaust valve bridge, the brake valve, and the brake rocker arm to accommodate this thermal expansion. Without this clearance, the exhaust and brake valves will not close completely after thermal expansion, leading to air leakage in the engine combustion chamber and affecting normal engine operation. Furthermore, the clearance value must also consider noise levels. This clearance is largest when the engine is cold. With each rotation of the camshaft, the camshaft drives the brake rocker arm to strike the collapsible exhaust valve bridge or brake valve at least once, generating noise. To control noise, this clearance needs to be set appropriately; it cannot be set too large.
[0049] During normal engine operation, the brake rocker arm, collapsible exhaust valve bridge, and brake valve undergo prolonged contact and wear, resulting in an increasing gap between the brake rocker arm, brake valve, and brake valve. Therefore, this gap needs to be adjusted periodically.
[0050] In related technologies, auxiliary tools such as dials are added to the timing gear, or markings are engraved on the timing gear. Then, the crankshaft is rotated so that the scale value or mark on the timing gear representing the engine combustion chamber is flush with the top surface of the engine cylinder head. The valve of the corresponding combustion chamber is in the closed state, and the valve clearance of the corresponding combustion chamber can be adjusted.
[0051] However, the process of adjusting the valve clearance described above is cumbersome and inefficient.
[0052] Therefore, in order to improve or solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides an engine valve clearance adjustment method. By setting a timing mark and multiple combustion chamber mark on the timing gear, the valve clearance of the corresponding combustion chamber can be adjusted according to the combustion chamber number displayed by the combustion chamber mark. There is no need for external dials or other auxiliary tools or to mark the timing gear. The valve clearance adjustment process is simplified and the valve clearance adjustment efficiency is improved.
[0053] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.
[0054] First, the relevant concepts or terms involved in this application will be explained:
[0055] The rocker arms are mounted on the rocker arm shaft, and the camshaft drives each rocker arm to swing intermittently.
[0056] The camshaft is a metal rod that can rotate continuously. It controls the opening and closing of the intake valve, exhaust valve, and brake valve by driving rocker arms. It is like the conductor of the valve train and timing mechanism.
[0057] The crankshaft is one of the most important components in an engine. Its function is to absorb the gas pressure transmitted from the piston and connecting rod assembly, convert it into torque, and output it to the outside. The crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the connecting rod into continuous rotational motion, which is output through the crankshaft and drives other accessories on the engine to work.
[0058] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 This application provides a detailed description of an engine valve clearance adjustment method according to embodiments.
