[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Compared with traditional engines, dynamic cylinder deactivation technology has obvious advantages in energy conservation and emission reduction. Existing dynamic cylinder deactivation mechanisms mostly adopt the technical route of hydraulically driven mechanical locking, that is, hydraulic oil pushes the sliding pin to switch between two states. The sliding pin has to withstand a large mechanical shear force under normal conditions. This structure is suitable for small-displacement engines with small valve driving force, but it is not suitable for large-displacement engines with large valve driving force and high reliability requirements. In addition, the sliding pin switching has strict requirements on the switching timing, and there may be a situation where the switching is not in place, causing serious mechanical damage.
[0004] The Chinese patent application publication number CN114087076A provides an engine cylinder deactivation valve control device and method, which uses a sliding valve as an actuator. However, the large sliding valve stroke restricts the response speed of the system, so it can only be used for static cylinder deactivation systems and cannot meet the requirements of fast response of dynamic cylinder deactivation systems.

[0011] In an articulated rocker arm dynamic cylinder valve control mechanism as described above, a protrusion is provided on one side of the active rocker arm, and the control component is installed in the protrusion. The control component includes an oil chamber, and hydraulic oil can be injected into the oil chamber. A slider is provided in the oil chamber, and one end of the slider is provided through the protrusion. The end of the slider passing through the protrusion can contact the joint component, and the end side of the protrusion forms a part of the limiting surface. The control component is actuated to push the slider toward the joint component, so that the joint component is separated from the limiting surface of the active rocker arm.

The first joint 7 and the second joint 8 are connected by a first pin shaft 16. A second pin shaft 15 is arranged between the upper side of the first joint 7 and the driven rocker arm 3. The second pin shaft 15 passes through the driven rocker arm 3 and the first joint 7. The first pin shaft 16 is equipped with a torsion spring 11. One side of the torsion spring 11 is pressed against the second pin shaft 15, and the other side of the torsion spring 11 is pressed against the second joint 8. Under the action of the torsion spring 11, the first joint 7 and the second joint 8 remain in an extended state, so that when the valve 1 is in a working state, the joint component remains in an extended state.
[0048] It is easy to understand that the second joint 8 includes two side plates, the upper sides of which are connected to the first joint 7 , and the lower sides of which are connected to the roller pin 12 .

[0051] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the active rocker arm 6 is provided with a roller 9, and the roller 9 cooperates with the camshaft 10. The roller pin 12 is provided through the active rocker arm 6, the roller 9 and the second joint 8. The contact position of the active rocker arm 6 and the joint component is located between the first pin shaft 16 and the second pin shaft 15, which can make the central axis of the first pin shaft 16 deviate from the line connecting the central axis of the second pin shaft 15 and the central axis of the roller pin 12, so that the joint component can achieve effective bending, so that the joint component bends in the direction away from the limiting surface.
[0052] In this embodiment, a protrusion 6-2 is provided on one side of the active rocker arm 6, and a control component is installed in the protrusion 6-2. The control component specifically includes an oil chamber, which is provided inside the protrusion 6-2. Hydraulic oil can be injected into the oil chamber, and the hydraulic oil with a set pressure is controlled by a solenoid valve to flow into the oil chamber. A slider 13 is provided in the oil chamber, and one end of the slider 13 is provided through the protrusion 6-2. The end of the slider 13 passing through the protrusion 6-2 can contact the joint component. An elastic retaining ring 14 is provided on the side of the oil chamber close to the joint component, and the displacement of the slider 13 is limited by the elastic retaining ring 14. A reduced diameter section is provided at one end of the slider 13 close to the joint component, and an end of the reduced diameter section away from the slider 13 is provided as an arc surface, and the arc surface of the reduced diameter section can contact the cross beam 7-1 of the first joint. The end side of the protrusion 6-2 forms a part of the limiting surface. The control component is actuated to push the slider toward the joint component, so that the joint component is separated from the limiting surface of the active rocker arm.
[0053] Specifically, the active rocker arm includes a door-type body 6-1, a first opening 6-3 is arranged on one side of the door-type body 6-1, the first opening 6-3 is a circular hole, the active rocker arm cooperates with the driven rocker arm through the first opening 6-3, the first opening and the second opening of the driven rocker arm are used for the installation of the sliding bearing 17, the rocker shaft 18 is arranged through the center of the sliding bearing 17, the protrusion 6-2 is located on one side of the hollow part of the door-type body 6-1, and a fifth opening is arranged on the other side of the door-type body 6-1, and the protrusion 6-2 is located at the upper right corner of the fifth opening. The slider 13 can be cylindrical, with the fifth opening as the center, the central axis of the slider 13 is at an acute angle to the horizontal line, the central axis of the fifth opening is set at a distance from the central axis of the first opening 6-3, and the door-type body 6-1 is at the fifth A roller 9 is arranged on the inner side of the opening, i.e., the hollow part of the gate-type body 6-1. A step is arranged on the gate-type body 6-1 to accommodate the roller 9. A roller pin 12 passes through the fifth opening of the gate-type body 6-1 and the roller 9. The diameter of the roller pin 12 is adapted to the inner diameter of the fifth opening. The diameter of the first opening 6-3 is larger than the diameter of the roller pin 12. The gate-type body 6-1 smoothly transitions between the first opening 6-3 and the fifth opening. In this way, when the joint component of the gate-type body 6-1 detaches from the limiting surface, the camshaft 10 pushes the roller 9, and then pushes the roller pin 12 and the active rocker arm 6 to move. The joint component overcomes the force of the torsion spring 11 and bends, but cannot overcome the valve spring force, so that the valve cannot be opened, so that the valve 1 is always in a closed state, that is, the valve is in a closed cylinder state at this time.
[0054] It should be noted that the door-type body 6-1 in the active rocker arm extends at the end side of the protruding part to form a plane, which is the limiting surface. The limiting surface is arranged to intersect with the central axis of the slider 13. The limiting surface can fit with the first joint 7. The rocker arm body 3-1 in the slave rocker arm is also provided with a plane to avoid interference with the movement of the joint component.
[0055] In addition, the sliding bearing 17 is clearance-fitted with the active rocker arm 6 , and the sliding bearing 17 is interference-fitted with the passive rocker arm 3 , so that the active rocker arm 6 can rotate relative to the passive rocker arm 3 .
[0056] The valve control mechanism provided in the present embodiment comprises an active rocker arm 6 and a slave rocker arm 3 as a whole, and the two can rotate relative to each other. A joint component is arranged between the active rocker arm 6 and the slave rocker arm 3, and the joints of the joint component are movably connected to realize the bendable setting of the joint. A control component is arranged on the active rocker arm 6, and the control component drives the joint component to separate from the limiting surface of the active rocker arm. Under the action of the camshaft 10, the joint component is gradually bent. At this time, the slave rocker arm cannot be driven to open the valve 1, so that the valve enters the closed cylinder state. In this way, the switching between the valve working state and the closed cylinder state is realized by the control component, and the structure is more reliable, more stable, not easy to be damaged, no sliding valve is required, and the feasibility is stronger. The overall structure is reasonably arranged. When there is no control oil pressure, the slider 13 cannot push the joint component to bend. When there is control oil pressure, under the action of the oil pressure, the slider 13 will push the joint component to bend, and can quickly switch between the normal working state and the closed cylinder working state to achieve rapid response.

[0060] When the valve needs to enter the closed cylinder state: the solenoid valve opens, and the hydraulic oil is injected into the oil chamber. Figure 8 As shown, the slider moves to drive the joint component to separate from the limiting surface of the active rocker arm 6, and the camshaft 10 pushes the roller 9, thereby pushing the roller pin 12 and the active rocker arm 6 to move. The joint component will overcome the force of the torsion spring 11 and bend, and cannot overcome the valve spring force so that the valve is always in a closed state;
[0061] When the solenoid valve is disconnected, the side where the active rocker arm 6 cooperates with the camshaft 10 returns to its original position, the joint component is gradually in an extended state, and the valve 1 enters a working state.

The articulated rocker arm dynamic cylinder valve control mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that: The slave rocker arm comprises a rocker arm body, one end of which is connected to the valve foot, and the rocker arm body is provided with a second opening, and the rocker arm body cooperates with the active rocker arm through the second opening.
8. A working method of an articulated rocker arm dynamic cylinder valve control mechanism according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: It includes the following: When the valve is in working state: the joint component is in an extended state, and the main part of the camshaft contacts one side of the active rocker arm during the rotation process, and the valve is in an open state at this time; during the rotation of the camshaft, the convex part of the camshaft gradually contacts one side of the active rocker arm, so that one side of the active rocker arm is gradually raised. Since the active rocker arm is connected to one side of the slave rocker arm through the joint component, the side of the slave rocker arm connected to the valve is gradually lowered to achieve the closing of the valve; When the valve needs to enter the closed cylinder state: the control component drives the joint component to separate from the limit surface of the active rocker arm, and the camshaft pushes the active rocker arm to move, thereby bending the joint component. At this time, the valve is always in the closed cylinder state because the slave rocker arm cannot be driven to overcome the valve spring force; When the control component is not working, the connection end of the active rocker arm and the joint component returns to the side that cooperates with the camshaft, the joint component is gradually in an extended state, and the valve enters a working state.
