Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine movable guide rail, especially to a movable guide rail with embedded structure for engine timing chain. BACKGROUND

[0002] The movable guide rail is a component for the timing system of an engine, which mainly provides stable guidance and support for the timing chain to prevent the chain from loosening, deviating or vibrating during operation.

[0029] Example

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an engine timing chain movable guide rail with a fitting structure, including: a support body 1 and a chain slide rail 2 disposed within the support body 1. The support body 1 and the chain slide rail 2 are fitted together. The support body 1 includes: a base 11 and side plates 12 disposed on both sides of the base 11. The top of the base 11 is fitted with the bottom of the chain slide rail 2, and the side plates 12 are fitted with both sides of the chain slide rail 2. The fitting structure ensures that the chain slide rail 2 operates stably when the engine is running and will not fall off due to long-term operation. Furthermore, due to the increased operating temperature inside the engine or prolonged exposure to low ambient temperatures, the fitting structure is less prone to contraction or expansion, making the guide rail operation more stable and thus ensuring the strength of the entire guide rail.

[0031] This interlocking structure can also effectively ensure that the chain slide rail 2 does not fall off, does not shrink towards the middle, and does not expand outward, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the guide rail and enhancing the safety and durability of engine operation.

[0032] Meanwhile, the mounting groove 13 on the top of the base 11 engages with the protrusion 21 at the bottom of the chain slide rail 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the side plate 12 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 14. The limiting holes 14 can preferably be oblong holes, or rectangular or circular holes, etc., and can be selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0034] In this embodiment, the limiting hole 14 is fitted into the protrusions 22 on both sides of the chain slide rail 2.

[0035] In the embodiment, the groove 15 at one end of the base 11 is embedded with the limiting part 23 at one end of the chain sliding rail 2, and the groove 15 is arranged below the mounting groove 13.

[0036] In the embodiment, the limiting part 23 is correspondingly arranged below the chain sliding rail 2, and the limiting part 23 and the chain sliding rail 2 are in U shape, that is, a certain space is left between them, so that the structure is more stable and firm, and shaking and other conditions do not occur.

[0037] In the embodiment, the limiting part 23 and the chain sliding rail 2 are integrally formed, and the support body 1 and the chain sliding rail 2 are both integrally formed by two-color injection molding. This processing method has high flexibility, can realize complex color and material combination, can also reduce the steps of multiple injection molding or post-assembly in the traditional process, improves the production efficiency, and reduces the production cost.

[0038] In the embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 16 are arranged between the base 11 and the side plate 12, and the reinforcing ribs 16 are arranged in a grid shape, so that the support body 1 is more stable and firm, and the strength of the parts is guaranteed.

[0039] Of course, the entire movable guide rail is made of PA66 and GF43 materials, the support body 1 uses PA66 material to ensure basic bearing, the chain sliding rail 2 combines PA66 and GF43 materials, and relies on a two-color integrally injection-molded embedded structure to make the production parts stable and reliable. Both materials have good mechanical properties and rigidity, GF43 is placed inside, PA66 is placed outside, and an embedded structure is adopted, so that the parts are not prone to looseness, falling off, inward shrinkage and outward expansion during work.

[0040] In addition, the GF43 material ensures the smoothness of the chain sliding, and at the same time ensures the heat resistance and mechanical property requirements.

[0041] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
