Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0025] The utility model provides a kind of installation structure of engine variable intake manifold external valve cap as shown in Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, a kind of installation structure of engine variable intake manifold external valve cap, including fixed seat 2 and the gland 4 of being installed on the upper end of fixed seat 2;
[0026] The upper end outer wall of gland 4 is internally provided with vacuum nozzle 6;
[0027] A plurality of fastening bolts 3 are provided between gland 4 and fixed seat 2 to limit the position of gland 4;
[0028] The inside of gland 4 is provided with mounting cavity 5, and the inside of mounting cavity 5 is provided with valve cap main body 10, fixed seat 2 is used as base support, and gland 4 is installed on the upper end thereof, and the two are connected by a plurality of fastening bolts 3, the axial force generated by the tightening of fastening bolt 3 makes gland 4 tightly adhere to fixed seat 2, ensures that the position of gland 4 is stable, can resist the vibration and other factors when engine is running, prevents loosening or displacement, the mounting cavity 5 provided in the inside of gland 4 is matched with valve cap main body 10, valve cap main body 10 is installed therein, the inner wall of mounting cavity 5 is matched with the corresponding structure of valve cap main body 10 by specific protrusion or groove, and valve cap main body 10 is accurately positioned, to avoid shaking or deviation during work, the vacuum signal generated according to engine working condition is transmitted to the inside of valve cap main body 10 by vacuum nozzle 6 outside vacuum control system, and the opening degree or opening and closing state of valve is accurately controlled, under different working conditions such as high and low speed, respectively realize the functions such as enhancing intake vortex or ensuring sufficient air intake, and are tightly connected with intake manifold and prevent air leakage by sealing structure, ensure that air intake system works normally, and improve the comprehensive performance of engine;
[0029] A plurality of damping pads 11 are arranged between the plurality of fastening bolts 3 and the cover 4. During the operation of the engine, strong vibrations are generated, which are transmitted to the mounting structure of the valve cover through the intake manifold. The fastening bolts 3, as the key components connecting the cover 4 and the fixing base 2, directly bear the influence of the vibrations. The damping pads 11 have good elasticity and damping properties. When the vibrations are transmitted to the connecting part of the fastening bolt 3 and the cover 4, the damping pad 11 will be elastically deformed. The deformation can convert the mechanical energy of the vibration into heat energy, thereby effectively consuming and buffering the vibration energy.
[0030] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the upper and lower ends of the plurality of damping pads 11 are provided with anti-skid layers 12. The plurality of anti-skid layers 12 are small blocks in a convex shape. The interiors of the plurality of damping pads 11 are provided with reinforcing layers 13. The plurality of reinforcing layers 13 are metal nets.
[0031] The anti-skid layers 12 increase the friction between the damping pads 11, the fastening bolts 3 and the cover 4, effectively preventing the displacement of the damping pads 11. The vibrations during the operation of the engine and the fastening force of the bolts will generate a large pressure and deformation force on the damping pads 11. The metal net as the reinforcing layer 13 has high strength and rigidity, and can share part of the pressure and deformation force borne by the damping pads 11.
[0032] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the upper end of the plurality of damping pads 11 is provided with a clamping groove 14 which is open upward. The lower end of the plurality of fastening bolts 3 is provided with a positioning block 15 which is inserted into the clamping groove 14, so as to pre-position the damping pads 11 during installation. The plurality of damping pads 11 are made of rubber and fiber.
[0033] When it is necessary to install the damping pads 11 between the fastening bolts 3 and the cover 4, the operator only needs to align the positioning block 15 at the lower end of the fastening bolt 3 with the clamping groove 14 on the damping pad 11, and then insert the positioning block 15 into the clamping groove 14, so as to quickly and accurately determine the position of the damping pad 11 during installation, thereby greatly improving the installation efficiency. The rubber has good elasticity and can effectively absorb vibration energy and buffer the impact force generated during the operation of the engine. The fiber has high strength and modulus, and can enhance the overall structural strength of the damping pad 11.
[0034] As shown in Figure 2 , the lower end of the valve cover body 10 is fixedly connected with a valve core 9. The lower end of the valve core 9 is fixedly connected with a valve rod 7. The circular outer wall of the valve core 9 is fixedly connected with a limiting block 8.
[0035] The valve core 9 fixedly connected to the lower end outer wall of the valve cap body 10 and the valve rod 7 fixedly connected to the lower end outer wall of the valve core 9 jointly constitute a key component for accurately controlling the airflow in the intake manifold. When the engine is running, according to different working conditions, the signals transmitted by the vacuum nozzle 6 will act on the control mechanism inside the valve cap body 10, thereby driving the valve rod 7 to move. The movement of the valve rod 7 will be directly transmitted to the valve core 9. Since the valve core 9 is fixedly connected to the valve cap body 10, the valve core 9 will change its position in the intake manifold along with the movement of the valve rod 7, thereby controlling the on-off, flow rate and flow direction of the airflow in the intake manifold.
[0036] As shown in Figure 1 The mounting seat 1 is usually connected to the intake manifold of the engine or other related components by bolt connection, welding or other suitable fixing methods.
[0037] The mounting seat 1 is usually connected to the intake manifold of the engine or other related components by bolt connection, welding or other suitable fixing methods.
[0038] The principle of this embodiment is that the fixed seat 2 serves as a basic support, the gland 4 is installed on the upper end thereof, and the two are connected by a plurality of fastening bolts 3. The axial force generated by tightening the fastening bolts 3 makes the gland 4 tightly fit the fixed seat 2, ensuring the stability of the position of the gland 4 and resisting the vibration and other factors during engine operation to prevent loosening or displacement. The mounting cavity 5 formed in the interior of the gland 4 is adapted to the valve cap body 10, and the valve cap body 10 is installed therein. The inner wall of the mounting cavity 5 is matched with the corresponding structure of the valve cap body 10 through specific protrusions or grooves to accurately position the valve cap body 10, avoiding shaking or deviation during work. The vacuum signal generated by the engine working condition is transmitted to the interior of the valve cap body 10 through the vacuum nozzle 6 of the external vacuum control system, accurately controlling the opening degree or opening and closing state of the valve. Under different working conditions such as high and low speed, the functions of enhancing intake swirl or ensuring sufficient air intake are realized, respectively. The valve is tightly connected to the intake manifold and prevents air leakage through the sealing structure, ensuring the normal work of the intake system and improving the comprehensive performance of the engine. During the operation of the engine, strong vibration will be generated, which will be transmitted to the mounting structure of the valve cap through the intake manifold. As a key component connecting the gland 4 and the fixed seat 2, the fastening bolt 3 directly bears the influence of vibration. The vibration damping pad 11 has good elasticity and damping characteristics. When the vibration is transmitted to the connection part of the fastening bolt 3 and the gland 4, the vibration damping pad 11 will be elastically deformed. The deformation can convert the mechanical energy of the vibration into heat energy, thereby effectively consuming and buffering the vibration energy.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
