Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and specifically relates to an engine intake camshaft. Background Technology
[0002] The camshaft is a component in a piston engine. Its function is to control the opening and closing of the valves. The camshaft rotates at a very high speed and needs to withstand a large torque, so the design of the camshaft requires high strength and support.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent literature discloses an intake camshaft, engine, and vehicle [Application No.: 202420013493.1; Authorization Announcement No.: CN221799913U]. The intake camshaft includes: a shaft body; at least one cam group, the cam group including a first cam and a second cam, the first cam including a first base circle and a first protrusion connected to one side of the first base circle, the first cam having a first through hole through the center of the first base circle, the second cam including a second base circle and a second protrusion connected to one side of the second base circle, the second cam having a second through hole through the center of the second base circle, the first cam and the second cam both being sleeved on the shaft body and fixedly connected to the shaft body, the lift of the first cam being greater than the lift of the second cam, and the wrap angle of the first cam being greater than the wrap angle of the second cam.
[0004] The intake camshaft in the aforementioned patent can achieve precise control of the asymmetric intake requirements within the same cylinder, improving engine thermal efficiency and having a lower cost. However, it cannot adsorb metal debris in the lubricating oil. The longer the camshaft runs, the more metal debris accumulates in the lubricating oil, eventually causing frictional damage to the camshaft and resulting in an unsatisfactory service life. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing an engine intake camshaft capable of adsorbing metal debris from lubricating oil.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an engine intake camshaft, including a shaft body, a front end piece and an outer wheel respectively fixedly sleeved on both sides of the shaft body, a lubricating oil hole is opened on one side of the front end piece, and one side of the lubricating oil hole passes through the shaft body and the outer wheel, a journal is sleeved at the center of the outer side of the shaft body, an oil guide groove is opened at the center of the outer side of the journal, a plurality of oil throwing holes are opened on the inner wall of the oil guide groove, a positioning ring is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the oil guide groove, a magnetic filter is connected between two positioning rings, a plurality of internal hexagon positioning bolts are provided on the opposite side of the two positioning rings, and the side of the internal hexagon positioning bolts away from the inner wall of the oil guide groove passes through the positioning rings and extends into the inside of the journal, and oil passages are opened at the top and bottom of the outer wheel.
[0007] The intake camshaft of this engine uses a combination of an oil slinger, an oil guide groove, an internal hexagonal locating bolt, a locating ring, and a magnetic filter to separate metal debris from the lubricating oil using centrifugal force. The magnetic filter achieves dynamic filtration, improving the cleanliness of the lubricating oil and reducing wear on the journal and bearing.
[0008] In the aforementioned engine intake camshaft, a locating pin hole is provided on the top of one side of the outer wheel, and a locating pin is provided on the top of the other side of the outer wheel. One side of the locating pin extends into the interior of the locating pin hole, and the oil passage cooperates with the locating pin hole. Through the cooperation of the locating pin hole and the oil passage, after the engine starts, oil enters the locating pin hole through the oil passage, pushing out the locating pin, which is beneficial for the subsequent high-precision adjustment of the camshaft's lower phase.
[0009] In the aforementioned engine intake camshaft, the other side of the oil slinger hole extends through the journal at a 45° angle. This 45° angled oil slinger hole design enhances the centrifugal effect.
[0010] In the aforementioned engine intake camshaft, the locating ring has several rotating grooves that mate with hexagonal socket head cap screws, and the journal has several locating screw holes that mate with hexagonal socket head cap screws. The locating ring is positioned and installed by the interaction of the rotating grooves and the locating screw holes.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the intake camshaft of this engine uses the combination of an oil slinger hole, an oil guide groove, an internal hexagonal locating bolt, a locating ring, and a magnetic filter to separate metal debris from the lubricating oil using centrifugal force. The magnetic filter achieves dynamic filtration, improving the cleanliness of the lubricating oil and reducing wear on the journals and bearings, resulting in a longer service life. Furthermore, the internal hexagonal locating bolt allows the locating ring and magnetic filter to be removed and replaced. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the intake camshaft of this engine includes a shaft body 2. A front end piece 1 and an outer wheel 4 are fixedly sleeved on both sides of the shaft body 2, respectively. A lubricating oil hole 5 is opened on one side of the front end piece 1. The lubricating oil hole 5 passes through the shaft body 2 and the outer wheel 4 on one side. A journal 3 is sleeved at the center of the outer side of the shaft body 2. An oil guide groove 9 is opened at the center of the outer side of the journal 3. Several oil sling holes 8 are opened on the inner wall of the oil guide groove 9. A positioning ring 11 is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the oil guide groove 9. A magnetic filter screen 12 is connected between two positioning rings 11. Several hexagon socket positioning bolts 10 are provided on the opposite side of the two positioning rings 11. The side of the hexagon socket positioning bolts 10 away from the inner wall of the oil guide groove 9 passes through the positioning ring 11 and extends into the interior of the journal 3. Oil passages 13 are opened at the top and bottom of the outer side of the outer wheel 4.
[0020] To elaborate further, a locating pin hole 6 is provided on the top of one side of the outer wheel 4, and a locating pin 7 is provided on the top of one side of the outer wheel 4. One side of the locating pin 7 extends into the interior of the locating pin hole 6, and the oil passage 13 is used in conjunction with the locating pin hole 6. The other side of the oil slinger hole 8 penetrates the journal 3 at a 45° angle. Several rotating grooves that cooperate with the internal hexagonal locating bolts 10 are provided through the locating ring 11, and several locating screw holes that cooperate with the internal hexagonal locating bolts 10 are provided through the journal 3.
[0021] In use, this invention utilizes the cooperation of the oil slinger hole 8, oil guide groove 9, internal hexagonal locating bolt 10, locating ring 11, and magnetic filter 12 to separate metal debris from the lubricating oil using centrifugal force. The magnetic filter 12 achieves dynamic filtration, improving the cleanliness of the lubricating oil and reducing wear on the journal 3 and bearing. Furthermore, the internal hexagonal locating bolt 10 allows for the removal and replacement of the locating ring 11 and magnetic filter 12. After engine startup, oil enters the locating pin hole 6 through the oil passage 13, pushing out the locating pin 7, which facilitates subsequent high-precision adjustment of the camshaft's lower phase.
