Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of camshafts for marine engines, in particular to a split camshaft for medium-speed four-stroke high-pressure common rail marine engines. Background Art

[0002] The camshaft used in traditional marine engines has only one protruding part, namely one vertex, or one wave crest. The corresponding parts of four of the eight fuel cams on the camshaft are equipped with the engine's common rail pump. As the camshaft rotates, the four fuel cams' wave crests push the engine's common rail pump once, and the common rail pump pumps oil once. Therefore, when the camshaft rotates 360°, the 8-cylinder engine can pump oil four times. Since the medium-speed four-stroke engine has a low speed and the camshaft rotates only 360° for every 720° rotation of the engine, the common rail pump has a low pumping frequency and a small oil supply, and cannot continuously stabilize the fuel pressure in the common rail pipe. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the various deficiencies in the prior art, the inventors have researched and designed a split camshaft for a medium-speed four-stroke high-pressure common rail marine engine through long-term practice. The shapes of four of the fuel cams are changed into elliptical shapes. When the camshaft rotates 360°, the 8-cylinder engine can pump oil 8 times, thereby increasing the oil pumping frequency and amount.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A split camshaft for a medium-speed four-stroke high-pressure common rail marine engine comprises a shaft body, a plurality of cam groups integrally formed at a predetermined position on the shaft body, and a sliding bearing arranged between two adjacent cam groups.

[0041] The camshaft of this embodiment has the direction of the cam apex in the initial state as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The intake cams and exhaust cams have the same structure. The first fuel cam 13, the third fuel cam 33, the fifth fuel cam 53 and the seventh fuel cam 73 have the same structure. The second fuel cam 23, the fourth fuel cam 43, the sixth fuel cam 63 and the eighth fuel cam 83 have the same structure and are all elliptical.

[0042] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The extended line of the connection line between the two vertices of the first fuel cam 13 intersects with the extended line of the connection line between the two vertices of the fourth fuel cam 43 at a right angle, the extended line of the connection line between the two vertices of the fourth fuel cam 43 intersects with the extended line of the connection line between the two vertices of the sixth fuel cam 63 at a right angle, and the extended line of the connection line between the two vertices of the sixth fuel cam 63 intersects with the extended line of the connection line between the two vertices of the eighth fuel cam 83 at a right angle.

[0043] In this embodiment, a first sliding bearing 101 is provided at one end of the shaft body 10 close to the first exhaust cam 11, and a keyway (not shown in the figure) is designed on the shaft body 10 close to one end of the first sliding bearing 101, which is connected to a rotation drive source gear outside the figure, and the gear drives the shaft body 10 to rotate the camshaft around its axis. A second sliding bearing 102 is also provided at one end of the shaft body 10 close to the eighth fuel cam 83.

[0044] In the utility model, since the second fuel cam 23, the fourth fuel cam 43, the sixth fuel cam 63 and the eighth fuel cam 83 are elliptical in shape, when they rotate 360°, the two apexes of the ellipse can push the common rail pump of the engine twice. The common rail pump of the utility model is a single pump, which provides high-pressure fuel for the engine. One common rail pump is installed for every two cylinders and is driven by the camshaft. Therefore, the four elliptical fuel cams can push the common rail pump 8 times, that is, the four elliptical fuel cams have a total of 8 peaks, and these 8 peaks are evenly distributed within the range of 360°, and a peak is encountered every 45°, which ensures the uniformity and sustainability of the pumping oil. The common rail pump of the engine is pushed once, and the oil is pumped once. Therefore, when the camshaft of the utility model rotates 360°, the common rail pump is pushed 8 times, and the oil can be pumped 8 times. The increase in the pumping frequency can effectively increase the oil volume of the engine fuel pump and better stabilize the fuel pressure.

[0045] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
