[0028] The valve gear 5 comprises a base body for buckling on the axial end of the cylinder 6, a plurality of valve groups corresponding to the cylinder 6, and a double-overhead disc cam 11, the valve group comprises an intake port 12, an exhaust port 13, an intake valve 14 and an exhaust valve 15, the setting radius of the second protrusion 17 of the double-overhead disc cam 11 is smaller than that of the first protrusion 16, the second protrusion 17 is arranged in a staggered manner with the first protrusion 16, the intake port 12 and the exhaust port 13 are arranged in the base body, the intake valve 14 and the exhaust valve 15 each comprise a valve and a return spring 18, the valve comprises a valve stem and a valve head at the end of the valve body for sealing, the valve head is located at the gas outlet of the intake port 12 or the gas inlet of the exhaust port 13, one end of the valve stem is connected with the valve head, the other end penetrates through the base body and extends outward to form a control end, an annular retainer is arranged at the end of the control end, and the return spring 18 is arranged between the annular retainer and the base body, a plurality of exhaust valves 15 are arranged corresponding to the first protrusion 16, and a plurality of intake valves 14 are arranged corresponding to the second protrusion 17, the overhead disc cam is in transmission connection with the driving structure, the control of all exhaust valves 15 and intake valves 14 can be completed by using one double-overhead disc cam 11, without the intervention of electric valves and other single-point control structures, and integrated design is realized.

[0029] A rolling wheel can be arranged at the end of the control end corresponding to the first protrusion 16 or the second protrusion 17, so that the friction between the control end and the first protrusion 16 or the second protrusion 17 is converted from sliding friction to rolling friction.

The first mounting body 20 and the second mounting body 21 are both provided with a central through hole 23 and a plurality of mounting through holes 24 uniformly distributed around the central through hole 23. The output shaft 2 is rotationally arranged in the central through hole 23.

The end of the lubricating oil channel 33 away from the output shaft 2 is connected with the gap 8. The cavity where the rotating disc 7 is located is connected with the oil pan 29 for returning the lubricating oil to the oil pan 29. During the rotation of the output shaft 2, the annular oil groove always maintains the connection with the oil inlet channel 31. The oil in the annular oil groove enters the output shaft 2 through the oil inlet hole 32. The lubricating oil is sprayed into the gap 8 through the output shaft 2 and the rotating disc 7 to complete the lubrication.

[0037] In order to improve the compactness of the equipment and reduce the addition of other driving equipment, the idler gear 35 driven by the output shaft 2 is arranged in the oil pan 29, the idler gear 35 can be gear meshing transmission with the output shaft 2, the idler gear 35 is directly transmission connected or indirectly transmission connected with the oil pump 30, when directly transmission connected, the idler gear 35 is directly fixedly connected with the input shaft of the oil pump 30, when indirectly transmission connected, the transmission shaft is arranged on the idler gear 35, the transmission shaft is transmission connected with the input shaft of the oil pump 30 through the mode of belt transmission or gear transmission.

[0039] A plurality of supporting legs 36 are arranged at the bottom of the first mounting body 20 and the second mounting body 21, so as to realize the support of the whole equipment.

[0040] In actual working engineering, taking the movement of the piston 3 in the single cylinder 6 of the four-stroke diesel engine as an example, the piston 3 in the single cylinder 6 performs two complete strokes, and the stroke sequence on both sides is: one side is intake stroke-compression stroke-power stroke-exhaust stroke, and the other side is compression stroke-power stroke-exhaust stroke-intake stroke; in the intake stroke, the second protrusion 17 drives the intake valve 14, the intake port 12 is opened, and the air is inhaled into the cylinder 6; in the compression stroke, the intake port 12 and the exhaust port 13 are closed, and the piston 3 moves to compress the cavity space; in the last stage of the compression stroke and the initial stage of the power stroke, the oil injector 4 sprays oil, the diesel engine pressure burns, and drives the piston 3 to move; in the exhaust stroke, the second cam drives the exhaust valve 15, the exhaust port 13 is opened, and the gas in the cylinder 6 is discharged; in the complete stroke, the movement of the piston 3 drives the rotating disc 7 to rotate, and then the rotation of the output shaft 2 is realized.
