[0002] The camshaft is a component in a piston engine. Its function is to control the opening and closing of the valves. Although the speed of the camshaft in a four-stroke engine is half that of the crankshaft (in a two-stroke engine, the speed of the camshaft is the same as the crankshaft), its speed is usually still very high and it needs to withstand a large torque. Therefore, the design has very high requirements on the strength and support of the camshaft. Its material is generally high-quality alloy steel or alloy steel. Since the movement of the valves is related to the power and operating characteristics of an engine, the camshaft design occupies a very important position in the engine design process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 This application is described in further detail.

[0036] The present application embodiment discloses a spliced ​​camshaft. Figure 1 A spliced ​​camshaft includes a connecting shaft 1, a connecting sleeve 2 and a locking assembly 3. The connecting sleeve 2 is threadedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 1. The locking assembly 3 is arranged on the connecting sleeve 2. When the connecting sleeve 2 is threadedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 1, the locking assembly 3 can lock and fix the connecting shaft 1.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 Several cam sleeves 11 are sleeved on several connecting shafts 1, and connecting parts 12 are integrally formed at both ends of each connecting shaft 1. The diameter of the connecting part 12 is larger than the diameter of the connecting shaft 1. The connecting part 12 is used to connect with the connecting sleeve 2, that is, each connecting shaft 1 is connected through the connecting sleeve 2.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting sleeve 2 includes a first connecting sleeve 21 and a second connecting sleeve 22. The diameter of the second connecting sleeve 22 is smaller than that of the first connecting sleeve 21. The second connecting sleeve 22 is located in the first connecting sleeve 21. A limiting ring plate 23 is integrally formed at the center position of the inner wall of the first connecting sleeve 21. The end of the limiting ring plate 23 that is away from the integrally formed end with the first connecting sleeve 21 is connected to the center position of the outer wall of the second connecting sleeve 22, so that two connecting grooves 24 are formed between the first connecting sleeve 21 and the second connecting sleeve 22 through the limiting ring plate 23. The connecting grooves 24 are used to connect with the connecting portion 12. Since the structures of the two connecting grooves 24 connected to the connecting portion 12 are the same, in this embodiment, the connection between one of the connecting grooves 24 and the connecting portion 12 is described as an example.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4A first threaded portion 211 is integrally formed on the inner side wall of the first connecting sleeve 21, and a second threaded portion 121 is correspondingly integrally formed on the outer side wall of the connecting portion 12. After the connecting portion 12 is aligned with the connecting groove 24 and inserted into the connecting groove 24, the first threaded portion 211 and the second threaded portion 121 are matched to perform threaded connection, so that the connecting portion 12 is fixed in the connecting groove 24. In order to prevent the connecting portion 12 from being stuck at the notch of the connecting groove 24 when the connecting portion 12 is inserted into the connecting groove 24, a second chamfer 122 is integrally formed on the outer side wall of the connecting portion 12.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The locking assembly 3 is located at one end of the first connecting sleeve 21 near the notch of the connecting groove 24. The locking assembly 3 includes a plurality of locking plates 31 equidistantly distributed on the first connecting sleeve 21. The locking plates 31 are perpendicularly arranged to the outer side wall of the first connecting sleeve 21. In the present embodiment, according to the size of the first connecting sleeve 21, four equidistantly distributed locking plates 31 are preferably arranged on the first connecting sleeve 21. A plurality of equidistantly distributed moving holes 212 are provided in the first connecting sleeve 21. The moving holes 212 are provided for the locking plates 31 to move on the first connecting sleeve 21. Therefore, in the present embodiment, four equidistantly distributed moving holes 212 are provided in the first connecting sleeve 21. The moving holes 212 correspond one-to-one to the locking plates 31. The locking plates 31 are inserted into the moving holes 212.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 One end of the locking plate 31 close to the notch of the connecting groove 24 abuts against the connecting portion 12, and a sliding groove 311 is opened at the end of the locking plate 31 away from the abutting connection portion 12. A pair of relatively arranged clamping columns 32 are movably arranged in the sliding groove 311, and a return spring 33 is welded in the pair of clamping columns 32, so that the pair of clamping columns 32 can move toward the two ends of the sliding groove 311 under the action of the return spring 33.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A pair of clamping columns 32 protrude from the slide groove 311, and a pair of relatively arranged clamping grooves 213 are opened at one end of the first connecting sleeve 21 close to the notch of the connecting groove 24. The clamping grooves 213 are connected to the moving hole 212, and the clamping grooves 213 correspond to the clamping columns 32 one by one, so that a pair of clamping columns 32 are clamped in the clamping grooves 213 under the action of the return spring 33, which is conducive to fixing the locking plate 31, and the clamping columns 32 protrude from the first connecting sleeve 21.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6A channel 214 is provided at one end of the first connecting sleeve 21 where the card slot 213 is provided, and the channel 214, the card slot 213 and the movable hole 212 are all connected. The channel 214 and the card slot 213 are in an "L" shape, and the channel 214 passes through the outer wall of the first connecting sleeve 21, so that when the connecting portion 12 is disconnected from the connecting groove 24 by threaded connection, the pair of card columns 32 are pinched and moved in opposite directions, so that the pair of card columns 32 move out of the card slot 213 into the channel 214, and the pair of card columns 32 move out of the first connecting sleeve 21 along the channel 214. At this time, the locking plate 31 is driven by the pair of card columns 32 to move out of the movable hole 212.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to prevent the locking plate 31 from getting stuck at the edge of the moving hole 212 when the locking plate 31 passes through the moving hole 212 again to abut against the connecting portion 12, a first chamfer 312 is integrally formed at one end of the locking plate 31 passing through the moving hole 212.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In order to prevent the clamping column 32 from falling out of the sliding groove 311, a limiting plate 3111 is welded at the edge of the groove opposite to the sliding groove 311. The clamping column 32 includes an integrally formed limiting portion 321 and a protruding portion 322. The limiting portion 321 is located in the sliding groove 311, and the two ends of the return spring 33 are respectively welded to the limiting portion 321. The limiting portion 321 is limited in the sliding groove 311 by the limiting plate 3111. The protruding portion 322 protrudes out of the sliding groove 311 and the first connecting sleeve 21, and the protruding portion 322 is not limited by the limiting plate 3111.

[0046] The implementation principle of a spliced ​​camshaft in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: align the connecting part 12 with the connecting groove 24 and insert it into the connecting groove 24, rotate the connecting shaft 1 so that the first threaded part 211 and the second threaded part 121 can be threadedly connected, and when the connecting part 12 abuts against the limiting ring plate 23, the connecting part 12 and the connecting groove 24 complete the threaded connection. In order to further stabilize the connection between the connecting part 12 and the installation groove, align the locking plate 31 with the moving hole 212 and insert it into the moving hole 212, pinch the protrusions 322 of a pair of clamping columns 32 and move them into the channel 214, and when the pair of clamping columns 32 move to the junction of the channel 214 and the clamping groove 213, release the protrusions 322 of the pair of clamping columns 32, and under the action of the reset spring 33, the protrusions 322 of the pair of clamping columns 32 are clamped into the clamping groove 213, and at this time, the locking plate 31 abuts against the connecting part 12.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
