[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a rocker arm 1, which includes a rocker arm body 10, a roller 30, and at least two fork arms 20. The rocker arm body 10 is provided with a shaft hole 11 for connecting a main shaft 3. The rocker arm body 10 is symmetrical about a first plane 2. At least two fork arms 20 are connected to the rocker arm body 10 and are symmetrically arranged about the first plane 2. At least two fork arms 20 are used to connect at least two valves 5 in a one-to-one correspondence. The roller 30 is rotatably disposed on the rocker arm body 10 and is located at the end of the rocker arm body 10 away from the two fork arms 20. The roller 30 has a symmetrical structure about the first plane 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rocker arm body 10 has a symmetrical structure with the first plane 2 as its symmetrical plane. At least two forks 20 on the rocker arm body 10 are symmetrical about the first plane 2. During use, this ensures good balance of the rocker arm 1, and at least two forks 20 can be connected to at least two valves 5 one-to-one, which can improve valve distribution efficiency, avoid the use of valve bridges which would result in a large valve distribution structure, and reduce the number of parts, thereby reducing costs, improving space utilization, and increasing the compactness of the valve distribution structure. The rocker arm body 10 is also rotatably equipped with rollers 30, which are symmetrical about the first plane 2. In actual use, the rollers 30 and the cams 401 on the camshaft 4 roll and abut against each other, which can make the force on the rocker arm body 10 more balanced, avoid uneven wear between the main shaft 3 and the rocker arm body 10, and thus ensure the service life of the rocker arm 1.

[0044] Specifically, in actual use, in order to achieve a symmetrical structure of roller 30 about the first plane 2, it is necessary to prevent interference between cylinder head bolts and camshaft 4 and to leave design margin for cam 401. Therefore, the position of rocker arm 1 will be slightly raised.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, two fork arms 20 are provided, and the two fork arms 20 are set at an angle. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two fork arms 20 are set at an angle, which allows for a certain distance between the connection points of the two fork arms 20 and the valves 5, thereby avoiding mutual interference between the two valves 5 during operation and improving safety during use.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the rocker arm 1 further comprises two shaft sleeves 40, which are arranged at the shaft hole 11 in a spaced manner and form an oil groove 41 with the inner wall of the rocker arm body 10. Specifically, in the embodiment, the two shaft sleeves 40 are arranged in a spaced manner, so that the two side walls of the two shaft sleeves 40 and the inner wall of the rocker arm body 10 form the oil groove 41. In the embodiment, the shaft sleeve 40 is in interference fit with the shaft hole 11, and the shaft sleeve 40 is located between the inner wall of the shaft hole 11 and the main shaft 3. In actual use, the oil groove 41 contains lubricating oil, which can lubricate the shaft sleeve 40 and the main shaft 3, reduce the friction between the main shaft 3 and the shaft sleeve 40, and further reduce the wear of the main shaft 3 and the shaft sleeve 40, thereby prolonging the service life.

[0047] Further, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the shaft sleeve 40 is provided with a lubricating groove 42 and an oil inlet hole 43, and the rocker arm body 10 is provided with an oil channel, and the lubricating groove 42 is communicated with the oil channel through the oil inlet hole 43. Specifically, in the embodiment, the oil inlet hole 43 communicates the lubricating groove 42 with the oil channel, and in actual use, the oil channel in the rocker arm body 10 enters the lubricating groove 42 through the oil inlet hole 43. The lubricating groove 42 is directly opposite to the outer circumferential surface of the main shaft 3. When the main shaft 3 rotates, the lubricating oil will cover the surface of the main shaft 3, thereby reducing the friction between the main shaft 3 and the shaft sleeve 40, and further reducing the wear of the main shaft 3 and the shaft sleeve 40, thereby prolonging the service life.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment, the oil inlet hole 43 is located at one end of the lubricating groove 42, and in the installation process, the installation directions of the two shaft sleeves 40 are opposite, so that the distance between the two shaft sleeves 40 and the two oil inlet holes 43 is the farthest. This design makes the shaft sleeve 40 a universal design part, improves the processing convenience, reduces the cost, and facilitates the management of parts. At the same time, the distance between the two oil inlet holes 43 is the farthest, which can improve the oil inlet efficiency and the efficiency of the lubricating oil covering the main shaft 3, thereby ensuring the lubricating efficiency.

[0049] Further, the lubricating groove 42 extends along the circumference of the shaft sleeve 40, and the corresponding central angle of the lubricating groove 42 is at least 180°. Specifically, in the embodiment, this design can make the lubricating groove 42 store enough amount of lubricating oil, ensure that the lubricating effect of the shaft sleeve 40 on the main shaft 3 is good, thereby reducing the wear of the main shaft 3 and the shaft sleeve 40, and further prolonging the service life.

[0050] Further, as shown in Figure 4 , the rocker arm body 10 is further provided with a drain hole 12, which is communicated with the oil groove 41. Specifically, in the embodiment, the drain hole 12 can discharge the lubricating oil in the oil groove 41, improve the smoothness in use, avoid the lubricating oil from being discharged from both sides of the shaft hole 11, and improve the use performance of the rocker arm 1.

[0051] Further, the oil drain hole 12 is arranged at the bottom of the oil groove 41. Specifically, in the embodiment, the shaft hole 11 extends along the horizontal direction, and the oil drain hole 12 is arranged at the bottom of the oil groove 41, so that the lubricating oil in the oil groove 41 can be discharged through the oil drain hole 12 under the action of gravity, thereby effectively preventing the lubricating oil from depositing, and further ensuring the lubricating effect.

[0052] Further, as shown in Figure 6 The rocker arm 1 further comprises an adjusting screw 50, the fork arm 20 is provided with a connecting hole, the adjusting screw 50 is adjustably connected to the connecting hole, and the adjusting screw 50 is used for connecting the valve 5. Specifically, in the embodiment, two adjusting screws 50 are arranged, and the two fork arms 20 are provided with connecting holes, the two adjusting screws 50 are adjustably connected to the two connecting holes, and are used for corresponding connection to the two valves 5 to open or close the two valves 5.

[0053] Specifically, in the embodiment, the adjusting screw 50 is connected to the valve 5 through a ball head structure.

[0054] The embodiment further provides a valve valve structure, which comprises a main shaft 3, a camshaft 4 and at least two valves 5, and further comprises the rocker arm 1 as above, the main shaft 3 is arranged in the shaft hole 11, the camshaft 4 is arranged in parallel and spaced apart from the main shaft 3, the roller 30 is always in rolling abutment with the cam 401 on the camshaft 4, and the at least two valves 5 are connected to the at least two fork arms 20 one by one. The valve valve structure can simultaneously control the opening and closing of the at least two valves 5 without installing a valve bridge by arranging the rocker arm 1, improves the valve efficiency, realizes the compact design of the valve structure, reduces the number of parts, reduces the cost, and improves the space utilization.

[0055] The embodiment further provides a vehicle comprising the valve valve structure as above, so that the valve structure of the vehicle has fewer parts, high valve efficiency, and effectively improves the space utilization and reduces the cost.

[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly illustrating the utility model, and are not the limitation of the embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary skilled in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustment and replacement can be made without departing from the protection scope of the utility model. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claims.
