Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile engines, and in particular to a timing transmission system structure. Background Technology

[0002] The engine timing system uses a chain to drive the phaser sprocket, which in turn drives the camshaft to achieve valve timing. In the existing structure, the phaser sprocket and camshaft are positioned using a camshaft stop, and a locating pin is integrally machined into the end of the camshaft, which is then used for positioning and connection with the phaser sprocket. Because the locating pin is integrally machined with the camshaft, the machining process is cumbersome, resulting in high scrap rates, high costs, and low standardization.

[0003] Furthermore, the cam profile of the camshaft is not suitable for the N20TC turbocharged direct injection engine, and the cam profile needs to be re-optimized to improve performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned problems in the background art and to provide a timing transmission system structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A timing drive system structure includes a phaser sprocket, a camshaft, and a locating pin. One end face of the phaser sprocket has a coaxial circular boss with a through hole in the center. The other end face of the phaser sprocket has a locating pin integrally formed therewith, and a locating stop is located in the center of the other end face. One end of the camshaft has a threaded hole in the center and a pin hole. One end of the camshaft is fitted into the locating stop of the phaser sprocket. The phaser sprocket is fastened to the threaded hole of the camshaft by bolts, and the phaser sprocket and camshaft are positioned and connected by a locating pin fitted into the pin hole of the camshaft.

[0007] Furthermore, the camshaft is provided with eight cams, all of which have the same structural shape, and the maximum lift of the cam is t = 38.37 mm.

[0008] Furthermore, the eight cams, from one end of the camshaft to the other, are sequentially named cam one, cam two, cam three, cam four, cam five, cam six, cam seven, and cam eight. The convex ends of cam one and cam two face the same direction, as do the convex ends of cam three and cam four, cam five and cam six, and cam seven and cam eight. Cam one and cam two form cam group one, cam three and cam four form cam group two, and cam five and cam six form... Cam group three, cam seven and cam eight form cam group four. The line connecting the midpoint of the protruding end of cam one to the center of cam one is 180° different from the line connecting the midpoint of the protruding end of cam seven to the center of cam seven. The line connecting the midpoint of the protruding end of cam three to the center of cam three is 180° different from the line connecting the midpoint of the protruding end of cam five to the center of cam five. The line connecting the midpoint of the protruding end of cam one to the center of cam one is 90° different from the line connecting the midpoint of the protruding end of cam three to the center of cam three.

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the semicircular portion of the cam 4 is φ = 34 mm, and the cam thickness is w = 12 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the phaser sprocket 1 is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing holes 5 evenly distributed along the circumference, and the weight-reducing holes are circular in shape.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. In the timing transmission system structure of this utility model, the positioning of the phaser sprocket and the camshaft adopts sprocket stop positioning, and the positioning pin is integrated with the sprocket, which reduces the machining process of the camshaft, reduces the scrap rate, and enables the camshaft design to be shared by multiple machine platforms. The improvement of the overall machine generalization rate can significantly reduce costs.

[0013] 2. The cam profile has been optimized to better suit the performance requirements of the new N20TC platform.

[0014] 3. Multiple weight-reduction holes are evenly distributed along the circumference of the phaser sprocket. This lightweight design reduces the system's rotational inertia and mechanical losses, optimizing engine mechanical efficiency. While ensuring functional design requirements, structural layout requirements, and mechanical strength requirements, it can reduce weight by approximately 20% compared to the original model.

[0015] In summary, the timing drive system structure of this invention possesses good manufacturability and assemblability, while also improving engine intake efficiency. When used in the N20TC turbocharged direct injection engine, the optimized cam profile can improve engine performance (performance indicators improve by approximately 8%).
