Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of engine design and manufacturing, in particular to a balancing device which can effectively improve the NVH of the engine. Background Art

[0002] In the working cycle of the engine, the piston moves very fast and unevenly. At the upper and lower dead centers, the piston speed is zero, while the speed reaches the highest at the position between the upper and lower dead centers. As the piston repeatedly moves in a straight line at high speed in the cylinder, it will inevitably generate a large inertial force on the piston, piston pin and connecting rod. The counterweight configured on the connecting rod can effectively balance these inertial forces. However, only part of the moving mass of the counterweight on the connecting rod participates in the linear motion, and the other part participates in the rotation. Except for the upper and lower dead centers, various inertial forces cannot be completely balanced, causing the engine to vibrate.

[0003] Every time the piston moves up and down, the engine will vibrate twice, so the vibration frequency of the engine is related to the engine speed. In vibration theory, multiple harmonic vibrations are often used to describe the vibration of the engine. The vibration frequency that is the same as the engine speed is called the first-order vibration, and the frequency that is twice the engine speed is called the second-order vibration. By analogy, there are also third-order and fourth-order vibrations. However, the higher the vibration frequency, the smaller the amplitude, and the second order and above can be ignored. The first-order vibration accounts for more than 70% of the entire vibration and is the main source of vibration.
