DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0027] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] The present application provides a throttle mechanism of a V-type engine, please refer to the sectional view of the throttle mechanism of the V-type engine provided by the embodiment of the present application Figures 1 to 5The application comprises a first intake valve 1 and a second intake valve 2, which are arranged in parallel and have side walls connected to each other, preferably, the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the first intake valve 1 is located above the second intake valve 2. The inner cavities of the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2 are rotatably provided with throttle plates 3, and the rotation axis of the throttle plates 3 is the diameter of the throttle plates 3 in the vertical direction. When each throttle plate 3 is flush with the port of the first intake valve 1, the edge of each throttle plate 3 is attached to the inner wall of the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2. At this time, each throttle plate 3 closes the throttle. Rotating each throttle plate 3 adjusts the throttle opening by adjusting the rotation angle of the throttle plate 3. The first intake manifold 4 and the second intake manifold 5 are respectively communicated at the same side port of the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2. The end of the first intake manifold 4 and the second intake manifold 5 away from the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2 is bent in the direction away from each other. The direction of the side port of the first intake manifold 4 and the second intake manifold 5 has a certain included angle, which is about 60°. This makes the throttle mechanism be able to be arranged at an included angle with the cylinder of the V-type engine. The air pipe 17 and the oil rail pipe group 7 are arranged on the side wall of the first intake manifold 4 and the second intake manifold 5. The air pipe 17 is communicated with the idle control valve 15. The idle control valve 15 is used to adjust the intake amount under the idle condition of the engine to ensure that the engine can operate stably. The oil rail pipe group 7 is communicated with the oil tank. In addition, the oil rail pipe group 7 is also provided between the first intake manifold 4 and the second intake manifold 5. The fuel injector 6 receives the fuel and air to form atomized fuel vapor, which is used for subsequent power stroke.

[0029] It should be noted that the unoptimized throttle structure horizontally arranges two intake valves. The throttle mechanism provided by the application arranges the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2 in the vertical direction. Compared with the unoptimized throttle, the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2 of the application are stacked with each other, the overall width of the intake valve is reduced by half, the width of the throttle structure is greatly reduced, and the interference between the throttle structure and the cylinder head is avoided. In addition, the application provides the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2 for separately supplying air to the front-end cylinder and the rear-end cylinder of the engine. The air supply systems of the front-end cylinder and the rear-end cylinder are independent of each other, which avoids the interference between the front-end cylinder and the rear-end cylinder due to sharing an air inlet, causes insufficient air volume of the rear cylinder, and causes misfire, unstable speed, shaking during low-speed riding, unqualified emission, and other problems.

[0030] Preferably, a pull wire disc 8 is arranged on the side wall of the first intake valve 1 away from the second intake valve 2, an end face of the pull wire disc 8 is vertically extended with a driving rod 11, the axis of the driving rod 11 coincides with the rotation axis of the pull wire disc 8, the extension direction of the driving rod 11 is the side of the first intake valve 1 pointing to the second intake valve 2, the driving rod 11 penetrates the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2 in sequence, the driving rod 11 is fixedly connected with the throttle valve 3 in the first intake valve 1 and the second intake valve 2, preferably, the driving rod 11 passes the center of each throttle valve 3, the pull wire disc 8 drives each throttle valve 3 to rotate through the driving rod 11, it is to be noted that the side wall of the pull wire disc 8 is provided with a winding groove, a certain length of pull wire is wound in the winding groove, the two ends of the pull wire are connected with the bottom face of the winding groove and the accelerator handle of the vehicle respectively, when the operator twists the accelerator handle, the accelerator handle drives the pull wire disc 8 to rotate through the pull wire, the throttle valve 3 arranged on the driving rod 11 rotates a certain angle, the throttle valve opens a corresponding opening degree, preferably, the driving rod 11 is fixedly connected with each throttle valve 3 through a screw.

[0031] Please refer to the drawings in the description Figure 3 With 4 A mounting seat 10 is arranged on the side wall of the first intake valve 1 away from the second intake valve 2, the pull wire disc 8 is borne on the end port of the mounting seat 10, preferably, the lower end face of the pull wire disc 8 is connected with a support rod on the side wall of the first intake valve 1, the pull wire disc 8 is connected with the support rod through a rolling bearing, so that the pull wire disc 8 can rotate in the axial direction, a reset spring 12 is arranged between the support rod and the inner wall of the mounting seat 10, the two ends of the reset spring 12 are connected with the side wall of the first intake valve 1 and the lower end face of the pull wire disc 8 respectively, when the operator twists the accelerator handle, the pull wire drives the pull wire disc 8 to rotate, the pull wire disc 8 twists the reset spring 12, when the operator releases the accelerator handle, the accelerator handle cannot exert the pulling force on the pull wire, the elastic force generated by the deformation of the reset spring 12 drives the pull wire disc 8 to reset, the driving rod 11 connected with the pull wire disc 8 drives the throttle valve 3 to reset, and the closure of the throttle valve is completed.

[0032] In addition, an idling speed adjusting screw 13 is further arranged on the mounting seat 10, when the engine is in the idling state, the throttle valve needs to keep a very small opening degree, so as to ensure that the engine has enough air intake to maintain operation, by adjusting the idling speed adjusting screw 13, the minimum opening degree of the throttle valve 3 under the action of the reset spring 12 is changed, so as to accurately control the air intake of the engine in the idling state, and the stability of the rotating speed in the idling state is realized.

[0033] Preferably, a sensor mounting seat 9 is arranged on the side wall of the second intake valve 2 away from the first intake valve 1, a throttle position sensor is arranged in the sensor mounting seat 9, in addition, the drive rod 11 continues to extend for an end length after penetrating the second intake valve 2, so that the extended end of the drive rod 11 is located in the sensor mounting seat 9, the throttle position sensor corresponds to the end side wall of the drive rod 11, the throttle position sensor judges the opening degree of the throttle valve by detecting the rotation angle of the drive rod 11, preferably, a sliding bearing 14 is arranged in the sensor mounting seat 9 and the mounting seat 10, both ends of the drive rod 11 are sleeved on the inner side of each sliding bearing 14, the inner ring of each sliding bearing 14 is in interference fit with the drive rod 11, so as to assist the rotation of the drive rod 11, in addition, since the outer diameter of the sliding bearing 14 is larger than the diameter of the drive rod 11, the through hole formed by the drive rod 11 and the groove of the sliding bearing 14 form an annular stepped surface, the end of the sliding bearing 14 abuts against the annular stepped surface, which limits the axial freedom degree of the drive rod 11 and ensures the stability of the drive rod 11. In addition, each sliding bearing 14 is provided with an oil seal structure, and the sliding bearing 14 with the structure provides high sealing performance for the ports of the sensor mounting seat 9 and the mounting seat 10, preventing oil and water in the channel from seeping into the throttle position sensor due to gravity.

[0034] Please refer to the drawings in the description Figure 4 The side wall of the first intake manifold 4 is provided with an intake temperature sensor and a pressure sensor, which are used to detect the air pressure and temperature in the cylinder. Compared with the unimproved throttle valve assembly, the sensors are integrally arranged, which occupies a large space in the first intake manifold 4, thereby blocking the air or atomized fuel vapor from entering the cylinder. The intake temperature sensor, the pressure sensor and the throttle position sensor are independent in the application, which avoids mutual interference of the sensors and prevents the blocking from occurring.

[0035] Please continue to refer to the drawings in the description Figure 2 The idle control valve 15 is carried on the control valve seat 16, the control valve seat 16 is communicated with the air pipes 17, and the end of the control valve seat 16 for inhaling air is also communicated with an air filter. The air filter filters the inhaled air to prevent foreign matters from entering the engine. When the engine is in an idle state and needs a certain amount of intake air, the idle control valve 15 provides air for the engine cylinder through the bypass intake passage. The idle control valve 15 is signal connected with the engine control unit to realize stable operation of the engine in the idle state.

[0036] The application also provides a motorcycle having the throttle valve mechanism of the V-type engine described above, and the remaining parts of the motorcycle are the existing public technology, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0037] It should be noted that the relative terms, such as first and second, are used merely to differentiate one entity from another entity, and do not require or imply that any such actual relationship or order exists between the entities.

[0038] The principles and implementations of the present application are described in the specific examples herein, and the above examples are only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, the present application can be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the present application.
