Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine rocker arm brake, concretely to an engine rocker arm brake device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The engine rocker arm brake device is a special brake system specially designed for the valve control mechanism of an internal combustion engine. Its main function is to lock the rocker arm when the engine is stopped or encounters a specific working condition to avoid unnecessary movement caused by external factors (such as valve spring failure, camshaft damage, etc.), thereby protecting the internal structure of the engine from damage.

[0003] In related technology, the structure of the brake rocker arm is quite ingenious: the drive piston is installed on the rocker arm, and the rocker arm is also equipped with a guide groove. The guide groove is internally provided with an upper link, a lower link, and a working piston. One end of the upper link is in close contact with the groove wall of the guide groove, and the other end is connected to the lower link by a hinged manner. The lower link is in contact with the working piston, and the working piston can freely slide in the guide groove. When braking is needed, the drive piston is driven by oil pressure and acts on the connecting part of the upper link and the lower link, causing the upper link and the lower link to stretch as a whole. This movement in turn pushes the lower link, causing it to drive the working piston to extend from the guide groove and finally come into contact with the valve, thereby opening the valve.

[0004] The patent with the current publication number CN212716801U discloses an engine brake device and an engine, which comprises a rocker arm, a first elastic member, a brake piston, and a locking piston. The rocker arm is provided with a first accommodating groove and a second accommodating groove. The first elastic member is arranged in the first accommodating groove. The brake piston is slidably arranged in the first accommodating groove, and a brake hole is formed in the brake piston. The brake piston is configured to abut against the valve, and has a first position to close the valve and a second position to fully open the valve. The locking piston is slidably arranged in the second accommodating groove. The locking piston can be driven by a power source to insert into the brake hole of the brake piston to lock the brake piston at the second position, and to withdraw from the brake hole to release the brake piston. The position of the brake piston can be directly locked by the locking piston extending into the brake hole, without the need for a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is not subject to severe wear, thereby ensuring brake precision.

[0005] However, the engine rocker arm brake in the above technology still has the following problems: Although the direct locking method by setting the locking piston avoids the problem of connecting rod wear, when the locking piston is inserted into the brake piston and needs to be unlocked, the friction between the locking piston and the brake piston may cause the elastic member to fail to smoothly withdraw the locking piston from the brake hole, resulting in the engine failing to start smoothly.
