[0094] First, please refer to Figure 1 、 4 As shown, the structure of the variable valve actuating device of the present invention is used in an internal combustion engine powered vehicle. Hereinafter, the vehicle of the present invention is exemplified by a straddle-type motorcycle 1; the motorcycle (vehicle) 1 at least includes a frame unit 2, a seat 3 provided on the frame unit 2, and a power unit 4. The power unit 4 is equipped with the variable valve actuating device 5, and a body cover unit 6 covering the outer periphery of the frame unit 2.

[0095] As shown in Figure 1 、 2As shown in FIGS. 3, etc., in the following description, the left and right sides of the vehicle body are defined as follows: after the driver sits on the motorcycle 1, the left side is the side on the driver's left hand, and the right side is the side on the driver's right hand. First, it should be stated clearly. A head tube portion 21 is pivotally provided in front of the frame unit 2. A steering mechanism 22 is connected above the head tube portion 21. The head tube portion 21 is connected to a down tube portion 23 towards the rear of the vehicle body. The down tube portion 23 is connected to a pair of left and right pedal tube portions 24 that extend towards the rear of the vehicle body and are slightly horizontal. A pedal cross tube 241 is connected below the pair of left and right pedal tube portions 24. The pedal tube portions 24 extend towards the rear of the vehicle to form a pair of left and right side frame portions 25. The side frame portions 25 have an ascending section 251 adjacent to the pedal tube portions 24 and an extending section 252 located at the rear section of the vehicle body. A pair of left and right auxiliary tubes 253 are provided between the ascending section 251 and the extending section 252 of the side frame portions 25, and a pair of left and right extending members 254 extend towards the rear of the vehicle body at a position where the ascending section 251 is adjacent to the pedal tube portions 24.

[0096] As Figure 1 , 2 , 3, a footrest 64 of the vehicle body cover unit 6 that is slightly flat is provided on the slightly horizontal pedal tube portion 24 of the frame unit 2. A footrest portion B that is flat for the driver to rest his feet is formed by the footrest 64. Viewed from the up and down direction of the vehicle body, a fuel tank T for storing fuel for the explosion of the power unit 4 is installed in the internal space defined between the pair of left and right slightly horizontal pedal tube portions 24. The power unit 4 is connected to the frame unit 2 and is arranged further towards the rear of the vehicle body than the fuel tank T.

[0097] As Figure 1 , 2, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a seat 3 for the driver to sit on is provided above the extension section 252 of the side frame part 25, and a storage box C is provided on the extension section 252 of the side frame part 25 and below the seat 3; the power unit 4 is locked to the auxiliary pipe 253 and the extension part 254 of the side frame part 25, and the power unit 4 is fixed to the frame unit 2 in a non-swinging manner; the power unit 4 has a cylinder part 41 and a transmission part 42, the cylinder part 41 extends obliquely forward towards the vehicle body and partially protrudes outside the rising section 251 of the side frame part 25, that is, the part of the cylinder part 41 extending forward towards the vehicle body protrudes more forward towards the vehicle body than the rising section 251 of the side frame part 25; the transmission part 42 is located at the rear right side of the cylinder part 41, and a power output shaft 421 extends in the left-right direction of the vehicle body at the rear end of the transmission part 42. A power wheel 422 is provided on one side of the power output shaft 421 (implemented on the left side of the vehicle body in the figure), and the power wheel 422 is connected to a driving wheel 424 on the rear wheel RW by a transmission belt 423; a rear swing arm L is pivotally provided at the power output shaft 421 of the transmission part 42. The front end of the rear swing arm L is pivotally provided on the transmission part 42, and the rear end of the rear swing arm L is provided with a rear wheel shaft L1 for the rear wheel RW to be pivotally provided. Thus, the power unit 4 rotates the rear wheel RW through the power output shaft 421 of the transmission part 42, the power wheel 422, the transmission belt 423, and the driving wheel 424.

[0098] As Figure 1 , 2 , as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 3, the vehicle body cover unit 6 has a front cover 61 covering the steering mechanism 22, a front panel 62 provided below the front cover 61 and covering the front end of the vehicle body, and a knee shield 63 provided behind the front panel 62, a footrest 64 provided below between the steering mechanism 22 and the seat 3. A bottom cover 641 is provided below the footrest 64. On both sides of the side frame part 25 below the seat 3 of the motorcycle 1, side body covers 65 are provided, and a central body cover 66 is provided below the front end of the seat 3; at least one air inlet hole 661 is provided on the vehicle body cover unit 6. The air inlet hole 661 can be formed by one or both of the left and right side body covers 65, or by the central body cover 66 or other maintenance covers between the left and right side body covers 65. In the implementation, the air inlet hole 661 of the present invention is provided on the central body cover 66. Further, a plurality of the air inlet holes 661 can be provided in the air inlet hole 661 of the central body cover 66. Only one air inlet hole 661 is drawn in the figure for example.

[0099] As Figure 1 , 2As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 6, and 7, the cylinder portion 41 of the power unit 4 has a cylinder block 411 and a cylinder head 412 assembled on the cylinder block 411. The cylinder block 411 is disposed above a crankcase 44, and the transmission portion 42 is connected to one side of the crankcase 44. The fresh air required for the combustion explosion of the power unit 4 is supplied by an air filter 7. After filtering the external space, the air filter 7 inputs the filtered air into the cylinder portion 41 through an intake pipe 71 connected to the air filter 7 and the cylinder portion 41 of the power unit 4, so that it can be mixed with the fuel input from the fuel tank T and then combusted in the cylinder portion 41, thereby enabling the power unit 4 to generate power. A camshaft seat 413 is provided on the cylinder head 412, and a camshaft 414 driven by a timing chain (not shown in the figure) is provided on the camshaft seat 413. An intake valve V is provided on the intake side of the cylinder head 412, and an exhaust valve V1 is provided on the exhaust side. The intake valve V can be pushed by an intake valve pusher 415, and the exhaust valve V1 can be pushed by an exhaust valve pusher 416. A first intake cam (high lift cam) (not shown in the figure), a second intake cam (low lift cam) (not shown in the figure), and an exhaust cam (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided on the camshaft 414. The intake valve pusher 415 has a first pusher 4151 and a second pusher 4152. The pushing roller (not shown in the figure) of the first pusher 4151 is in contact with the first intake cam of the camshaft 414, and the pushing roller (not shown in the figure) of the second pusher 4152 is in contact with the second intake cam of the camshaft 414. It should be further mentioned that in this creation, the camshaft 414 is implemented with a single camshaft, and the camshaft 414 is disposed between the intake (exhaust) valve pusher 415 (416) and the combustion chamber 417.

[0100] As shown in Figure 8 、 9 FIGS. 3, 4, 6, and 7, a piston actuating mechanism 43 is provided between the first pusher 4151 and the second pusher 4152. The piston actuating mechanism 43 is configured to be away from the combustion chamber 417. The piston actuating mechanism 43 has a first piston 431, a second piston 432, and an elastic element 433. The first pusher 4151 and the second pusher 4152 are linked or not linked by the actuation of the first piston 431, the second piston 432, and the elastic element 433 of the piston actuating mechanism 43 (the actuation method of this part is the same as the existing one, so it will not be elaborated here). Thereby, the cylinder portion 41 of the power unit 4 can make the intake valve have different lift openings according to the driving state change by the engine control unit (ECU), so that the cylinder portion 41 of the power unit 4 has the effect of different intake lifts.

[0101] As shown in Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, a variable valve push device 5 for pushing the piston actuating mechanism 43 is installed on the cylinder head 412 of the cylinder part 41 of the power unit 4. The variable valve push device 5 is electrically connected to the vehicle driving control center (ECU) of the motorcycle 1. Thus, the vehicle driving control center (ECU) can make the variable valve push device 5 act or not act according to the driving condition of the motorcycle 1. The variable valve push device 5 has an actuator 51 and a push mechanism 52 that can be driven by the actuator 51. The actuator 51 of the present invention can be implemented by an electromagnetic solenoid valve, a hydraulic power valve body, or a pneumatic power valve body. The following description and drawings will take the solenoid valve as an example for illustration. The actuator 51 is installed on the cylinder part 41 in the up-and-down direction of the vehicle body (in the figure, U is the upper direction of the vehicle body, D is the lower direction of the vehicle body, F is the front of the vehicle body, and R is the rear of the vehicle body). Further, the actuator 51 is installed on the cylinder head 412 of the cylinder part 41. The actuator 51 has a body part 511 and an actuating rod 512 that can freely extend or retract into the body part 511 and extends toward the camshaft 414. The actuating rod 512 has an actuating tooth part 513 formed by concave and convex parts. The push mechanism 52 rotates and actuates along a rotation axis extending in the front-and-rear direction of the vehicle body and is pivotally installed on the cylinder part 41. Further, an installation part 4121 is recessed on the cylinder head 412. The actuator 51 is installed in the installation part 4121 on the cylinder head 412 of the cylinder part 41. The installation part 4121 has a limit mechanism 4122 that can limit the rotation angle of the push mechanism 52. It should be mentioned that the actuator 51 and the push mechanism 52 are arranged in a substantially perpendicular manner. The push mechanism 52 has a pivot part 521, a passive tooth part 522 provided on the outer periphery of the pivot part 521, and a push part 523. The push mechanism 52 is pivotally installed in the installation part 4121 of the cylinder part 41 with a pivot shaft 5211 of the pivot part 521. Thus, the push mechanism 52 is driven by the actuator 51 to rotate with the pivot shaft 5211 as the rotation center. The passive tooth part 522 meshes with the actuating tooth part 513 of the actuating rod 512 of the actuator 51. Thus, when the actuator 51 acts, it can drive the push mechanism 52 to rotate. After the push mechanism 52 is driven to rotate, the push part 523 rotates. When the push part 523 rotates, it can push the piston actuating mechanism 43. Thus, the piston actuating mechanism 43 can make the intake valve pusher 415 switch between a high intake lift and a low intake lift. The push part 523 of the present invention can be implemented by an eccentric cam. It should be mentioned that the passive tooth part 522 of the push mechanism 52 and the actuating tooth part 513 of the actuating rod 512 of the actuator 51 further use different gear ratios to increase the rotation torque of the push mechanism 52 and can miniaturize the volume of the actuator 51.More specifically, the pushing portion 523 is implemented by an eccentric cam, which can improve the switching speed of the piston actuating mechanism 43 and the convenience of the operation of the piston actuating mechanism 43.
