Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine parts, especially to a novel combined camshaft of a single-cylinder motorcycle engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a traditional single-cylinder motorcycle four-valve engine, the camshaft is an indispensable key component. The camshaft usually has a timing chain wheel set on it, which is used to transmit power and control the opening and closing of the valves. However, this design has a significant flaw: since the timing chain wheel is located on one side of the camshaft, when the chain wheel rotates, it will generate a downward deflection torque on the camshaft, causing the end of the camshaft away from the timing chain wheel to be subjected to a reverse force.

[0003] This reverse force adds to the force of the camshaft opening the valve spring, not only intensifying the friction and wear between the camshaft and the engine cylinder head bearing, shortening the service life of the equipment, but also destroying the oil film lubrication between the camshaft and the cover, increasing the power consumption of the engine. The destruction of the oil film makes the contact between the camshaft and the cover more direct and rough, further accelerating the wear process, and possibly leading to a decrease in engine performance and an increase in fuel consumption.

[0004] Therefore, the present application proposes a novel combined camshaft of a single-cylinder motorcycle engine to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
