Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile engine parts, and in particular relates to a composite internal meshing tooth profile for an engine timing toothed chain and a design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Toothed chains are widely used in the field of mid-to-high-end automotive engine timing systems due to their long life, stable operation, light weight, and high transmission efficiency. Especially with the vigorous development of new energy vehicles in recent years, toothed chains have become the only choice for engine timing transmission in hybrid passenger cars.

[0003] According to the different meshing mechanisms, toothed chains can be divided into external meshing toothed chains and internal-external compound meshing toothed chains. Compared with external meshing toothed chains, internal-external compound meshing toothed chains have the advantages of lower meshing impact, smaller system loose edge vibration, and more stable camshaft speed output, so they have higher stability, longer life, lower transmission noise, and easier to achieve precise valve control. Therefore, internal-external compound meshing toothed chains are an effective technical means to improve engine performance and passenger car comfort. Especially for hybrid passenger cars, in order to improve fuel economy, their engines need to be in the medium and high speed range for a long time. Under this operating range, the vibration and noise of the engine are both large, which seriously affects its ride comfort.

[0004] However, the performance of the traditional internal-external compound meshing toothed chain is not stable. Due to the lack of a reliable and scientific design method as a support, during the operation of the timing system, the internal meshing tooth profile of the internal-external compound meshing toothed chain often interferes with the involute tooth profile of the sprocket, which not only fails to meet the original technical expectations, but also aggravates the vibration and noise of the chain, thereby seriously shortening the chain life and reducing the comfort that the passenger car should have. Therefore, the internal-external compound meshing toothed chain has not been widely used in the timing system of passenger car engines, thus limiting the further development of passenger car engine technology towards the high-level technical field of low energy consumption, low noise and low vibration.

[0005] The existing publication number CN116882092A discloses a design method for an internal-external compound meshing toothed chain for an engine, but the method cannot solve the problem of interference between the internal meshing tooth profile of the chain plate and the involute tooth profile of the sprocket, and also does not propose a specific calculation method for the internal meshing tooth profile.

[0130] First, calculate the auxiliary parameters Auxiliary parameters Determined by the following formula:

[0131]

[0132] In formula (10), r1 is the pitch circle radius of crankshaft sprocket 3, r p1R is the radius of the positioning circle of crankshaft sprocket 3 12 is the radius of the chain tight side track, x M and M are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the meshing point M in the absolute coordinate system S (xO1y), s m2 is the tooth thickness of crankshaft sprocket 3 on the second auxiliary circle, r m2 is the radius of the second auxiliary circle;

[0133] The auxiliary parameters are obtained to satisfy

[0134] Second, the relative coordinate O of the center of curvature of the arc of the quasi-involute tooth profile 1.1.3 in S1(x1O1'y1) ρ (x ρ ,y ρ ), calculated by the following formula:

[0135]

[0136] In formula (11), r bin is the base circle radius of the involute tooth profile 1.1.2, α is the tooth profile half angle of the chain plate 1, is an auxiliary parameter, p is the pitch of chain plate 1, R 12 is the radius of the chain tight side track.

[0137] From this we can get O ρ (x ρ ,y ρ )=(383.436mm,223.151mm).

[0138] If the crankshaft sprocket 3 parameters r1, r b1 、r p1 All replaced with intake camshaft sprocket 4 or exhaust camshaft sprocket 5 parameters r2, r b2 、r p2 . Then the design of compound internal meshing tooth profile 1.1 is still valid.

[0139] For example, in this timing chain drive system, the basic parameter of the intake camshaft sprocket 4 or the exhaust camshaft sprocket 5 is z2=46. According to step S1, it can be obtained that: r2=46.708 mm, r b2 =40.451mm, r p2 =46.745mm. According to step S2, we can get r bin =766.465mm, x in =1.187. According to steps D1 to D4, we can get ρ=447.842mm, O ρ (x ρ ,y ρ)=(384.795mm, 223.984mm). At this time, the meshing between the composite internal meshing tooth profile 1.1 and the crankshaft sprocket involute tooth profile 3.1 (or the intake camshaft sprocket involute tooth profile 4.1 or the exhaust camshaft sprocket involute tooth profile 5.1) still satisfies Figure 5 shown.

[0140] like Figure 5 As shown, if the technical solution of the present invention is adopted, the composite internal meshing tooth profile 1.1 of the chain plate 1 can perfectly mesh with the crankshaft sprocket involute tooth profile 3.1 (or the intake camshaft sprocket involute tooth profile 4.1 or the exhaust camshaft sprocket involute tooth profile 5.1) without any interference, so that the chain can be transmitted according to its ideal trajectory.

[0141] In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention was compared with the traditional tooth profile. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 8 to Figure 13 shown.

[0142] First, the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can effectively reduce the meshing impact between the chain plate 1 and the crankshaft sprocket 3 (or the intake camshaft sprocket 4 or the exhaust camshaft sprocket 5), thereby improving the wear resistance and life of the entire chain, and further improving the stability of engine operation. Figure 8 It can be seen that the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can reduce the maximum meshing force by (546.439–412.186) / 546.439=24.57% under the working condition of 3000 r / min; Fig. 9 It can be seen that the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can effectively reduce the maximum meshing force between the chain plate 1 and the crankshaft sprocket 3 at any rotation speed.

[0143] Secondly, the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can effectively reduce the speed fluctuation of the intake camshaft sprocket 4 (or the exhaust camshaft sprocket 5), thereby reducing the overall polygonal effect of the transmission system, thereby further improving the accuracy of the engine valve control. Fig.10 It can be seen that the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can reduce the speed fluctuation of the intake camshaft sprocket 4 (or the exhaust camshaft sprocket 5) from 157.538-156.606=0.903rad / s to 157.337-156.718=0.619rad / s under the working condition of 3000r / min, which is reduced by (0.903-0.619) / 0.903=31.45%; Fig.11 It can be seen that the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can effectively reduce the maximum speed fluctuation of the intake camshaft sprocket 4 (or the exhaust camshaft sprocket 5) at any speed.

[0144] Third, the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can effectively reduce the loose edge amplitude of the chain, thereby increasing the overall life of the timing system and further reducing the transmission noise of the timing system. Fig.12 It can be seen that the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can reduce the maximum vibration of the tensioner 7 from 0.7303–0.7167=0.0136mm to 0.7466–0.7348=0.0118mm under the working condition of 3000r / min, which is a total reduction of (0.0136–0.0118) / 0.903=13.23%; Fig.13 It can be seen that the composite internal meshing tooth profile of the present invention can effectively reduce the maximum vibration of the tensioner 7 at any rotation speed.

[0145] Fourth, the design method of the present invention is a complete parameter design process, which can realize design automation and platformization through computer programming, significantly reducing the design threshold and the workload of engineers. The design method of the present invention is applicable to most passenger car engines, especially to four-cylinder engines for hybrid vehicles, thus providing a feasible technical means for improving the comfort and fuel economy of hybrid vehicles.
