Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motorcycle engines, in particular to a throttle valve body assembly of a V-type twin-cylinder motorcycle engine. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of motorcycle technology, V-twin engines have gained widespread adoption in the motorcycle industry due to their well-balanced powertrain, low vibration, and rich sound. As a crucial component of engine operation, the intake system's performance directly impacts engine power output, fuel economy, emissions, and reliability. Therefore, optimizing the design of the V-twin throttle body to improve its performance is crucial.
[0003] An engine's throttle body, also known as the throttle valve, acts as a conduit between the air intake and the engine's combustion chamber. Its primary function is to regulate airflow, which is crucial for maintaining the proper air-fuel ratio required for efficient combustion. When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, the throttle body opens, allowing more air to enter the engine, generating more power and accelerating the vehicle. Conversely, releasing the accelerator pedal causes the valve to partially or completely close, reducing airflow and slowing the vehicle.
[0004] Chinese patent document CN210509401U discloses a motorcycle throttle with circulating air supply and adjustable air pressure balance, including a valve body with two intake chambers, a rotatable valve plate is provided in the valve body to separate the intake chamber into a front chamber and a rear chamber, the rear chamber of each intake chamber is provided with a bypass hole, an idle motor is provided on the valve body to control the intake variable of the bypass hole, the rear chamber of each intake chamber is provided with a rear through hole for air intake, and an adjustment controller is provided on the valve body to control the intake constant of the rear through hole. The adjustment controller includes a convex portion and an adjusting screw threadedly connected to the convex portion, and the rod of the adjusting screw extends into the connecting channel.
[0005] This prior art has the following deficiencies: the overall structure of the existing engine throttle body is not compact enough, and the layout of the two intake cavities and the bypass air duct makes the volume of the throttle body large, thereby increasing the overall volume of the engine. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to solve the technical problem of miniaturization of the throttle body, the utility model provides a throttle body assembly for a motorcycle V-twin engine, comprising two independent intake channels and a bypass air channel, wherein the bypass air channel controls the intake amount by adjusting a controller, and is characterized in that the outer walls of the two intake channels are tightly attached together, and the bypass air channel is tightly attached to directly above the joint of the two intake channels.
[0007] Furthermore, the two air intake passages and the bypass air passage are arranged in parallel.
[0008] In order to balance the gas flow of two intake passages, the bypass air channel is communicated with the two intake passages through two branch pipes respectively, and an adjusting screw is arranged in each branch pipe, and the tip of the adjusting screw can be inserted into the intake passage.
[0009] Preferably, the middle part of the adjusting screw transversely passes through the bypass air channel, and the end part is arranged in the branch pipe.
[0010] In order to reduce the overall volume ratio, the installation positions of the two adjusting screws are respectively located obliquely above the two intake passages, and the adjusting screws are arranged obliquely.
[0011] In order to facilitate repeated adjustment of the intake amount of the bypass air channel, a locking spring is arranged on the adjusting screw.
[0012] In order to facilitate control of the intake amount of the bypass air channel, the bypass air channel is communicated with the air cylinder intake pipe through a through hole, and the adjusting controller is arranged in the bypass air channel, and the adjusting controller moves transversely in the bypass air channel to change the cross-sectional area of the through hole.
[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. Under the premise of ensuring the normal performance of the throttle valve body, the utility model optimizes the design structure, makes the engine intake system more compact, the system control more accurate, and ensures the stable performance of the engine.
[0015] 2. The utility model improves the consistency of the V-type engine output. When the manufacturing and processing dispersion causes the flow deviation of the two passages, the intake passage cross-sectional area can be changed by adjusting the screw position, so that the flow of the two cylinders tends to be the same, and the consistency of the engine power output is improved.
[0016] 3. Part of the air can directly enter the front and rear cylinders of the V-type engine through the bypass air channel, or enter the front and rear cylinders through the two intake passages. The stepping motor in the bypass air channel adjusts the air amount entering the intake pipe in real time by controlling the cross-sectional size of the through hole, so as to realize stable and accurate control of the engine idle speed.
