Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to engine timing system technical field especially relates to a lighter air inlet valve mounting structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The air inlet valve of the lighter comprises two independent components of valve seat and adjusting rod, and the adjusting rod needs to be press-fitted into the valve seat during assembly. The valve seat and the adjusting rod in the prior art are both made of brass, and their assembly structure is shown in Figs. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lower end of the adjusting rod is directly press-fitted into the valve seat without the need of setting an additional connecting structure. Since the valve seat and the adjusting rod are made of the same material, they can be successfully press-fitted. However, the material cost of brass is high, and therefore the applicant proposed in the prior application to use a zinc alloy to process the air inlet valve. However, for the air inlet valve with the valve seat and the adjusting rod being independent of each other, the adjusting rod is a simple straight rod structure, and therefore the zinc alloy is not necessarily used for the adjusting rod. In the case that the valve seat and the adjusting rod are made of different materials, the structure shown in Figs. Figure 1 and Figure 2 After the two are press-fitted, the adjusting rod is likely to pop out of the valve seat in practice, which affects the product qualification rate. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the above problems, the utility model aims at providing a lighter air inlet valve mounting structure which is not limited by the materials of the valve seat and the adjusting rod and has a reliable assembly structure.

[0004] A lighter air inlet valve mounting structure comprises:

[0005] A valve seat, the upper end of the valve seat is provided with an opening;

[0006] An adjusting rod, the lower end of the adjusting rod is provided with an annular limiting flange extending radially outward;

[0007] The adjusting rod is assembled into the inner cavity of the valve seat through the lower end thereof, and when assembled in place, the upper end opening edge of the valve seat is folded inward radially to form a limiting flange, which is located axially above the limiting flange and forms an axial limiting fit with the limiting flange.

[0008] The above structure realizes simple assembly through the axial fit of the flange and the limiting flange, ensures the axial positioning reliability of the adjusting rod in the valve seat, effectively prevents the adjusting rod from accidentally coming out, and has a reliable assembly structure which is not affected by the materials of the valve seat and the adjusting rod.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting flange is an annular flange arranged circumferentially around the upper end opening of the valve seat, and / or the limiting flange is an annular limiting flange.

[0010] The annular limit flange provides 360-degree continuous limit support, so that the adjusting rod is uniformly stressed and deformation of the limit flange caused by local stress concentration is avoided; the open-die manufacturing structure of the annular limit flange is simpler and can also provide 360-degree continuous limit support.

[0011] Preferably, the limit flange 11 is formed by stamping an inwardly folded or curled structure from the upper end opening edge of the valve seat 1.

[0012] The stamping forming process can realize efficient batch production, and the curled structure effectively enhances the structural strength of the limit flange edge.

[0013] Preferably, the thickness of the upper end opening edge of the valve seat is smaller than the thickness of the rest of the outer wall of the inner cavity of the valve seat. On the one hand, it can expand the opening, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the limit flange to be processed after being pressed into place.

[0014] Preferably, the inner cavity of the valve seat 1 is provided with an axial limit step, and the lower surface of the limit flange 21 and the upper surface of the axial limit step form an axial support cooperation.

[0015] The axial limit step positions the installation position of the adjusting rod, and forms an up-down bidirectional limit structure with the limit flange to the adjusting rod, which can improve the axial positioning accuracy of the adjusting rod.

[0016] Preferably, the radial extension width of the limit flange 21 is greater than the inner diameter of the limit flange 11 and smaller than the diameter of the inner cavity of the valve seat 1.

[0017] It can ensure that the limit flange can be effectively blocked by the limit flange, while maintaining the smoothness of the assembly of the adjusting rod in the inner cavity of the valve seat.

[0018] Preferably, the limit flange 11 includes a plurality of local limit flanges arranged at intervals along the circumference of the valve seat 1.

[0019] The design of the limit flange reduces material consumption, and reduces the processing difficulty while ensuring the limit function.

[0020] Preferably, the valve seat 1 is made of zinc alloy material, and the adjusting rod 2 is made of iron material.

[0021] The zinc alloy material can ensure the processability of the stamping forming of the valve seat, the iron adjusting rod can improve the wear resistance, and the material cost of iron is lower, which can further reduce the production cost of the intake valve on the premise of ensuring the basic performance.

[0022] In summary, the utility model adopts the above scheme, through the axial cooperation of the limit flange and the limit flange, the axial positioning reliability of the adjusting rod in the valve seat is ensured, and the accidental falling out of the adjusting rod is effectively prevented.
