Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of internal combustion engine technology, and specifically relates to an engine braking device. Background Technology

[0002] Engine braking systems can provide one or more auxiliary valve lifts to achieve engine braking. Several patented inventions involve this technology, primarily involving adding one or more auxiliary lifts in addition to the main cam lift. A dedicated braking cam can also be added. Depending on the engine's operating needs, the engine braking system activates the auxiliary lifts (to achieve engine braking) or deactivates them.

[0003] In CN214499193U, driven by the auxiliary cam, near the top dead center of the engine compression stroke, the brake plunger and the sliding pin abut against each other. The brake plunger and the sliding pin are subjected to a reaction force. At this time, high-pressure oil is formed in the second and third mounting grooves. Under the action of the high-pressure oil, the ball is pushed to seal the oil passage, so the oil cannot flow out, forming a closed oil passage. The brake plunger will not move upward, so the sliding pin will be pressed down, thereby opening the exhaust valve and realizing engine braking.

[0004] In CN103758606B, when the cam rotates to the point where the exhaust cam contacts the roller, the valve lift is relatively large. After making up for the reserved valve clearance, there is still enough valve lift to make the exhaust valve actuate, thereby opening the exhaust valve to achieve normal exhaust action. At this time, a hydraulic rigid connection is formed in the upper part of the stepped through hole where the one-way valve is located, the oil passage, and the brake oil chamber. When the exhaust cam rotates to the point where the brake cam contacts the roller, since the brake mechanism and the rocker arm have formed a rigid connection, the lift generated by the brake cam can act proportionally on the brake piston and the seat of the brake piston assembly, and trigger the exhaust valve bridge to open the exhaust valve in advance to achieve braking work.

[0005] The aforementioned braking device achieves its function by forming a hydraulic rigid connection through high-pressure fluid. The pressure inside the high-pressure fluid chamber is relatively high, which places high demands on the structure of the high-pressure fluid chamber. If the pressure inside the cylinder is too high, it can easily lead to excessive pressure of the high-pressure fluid, and the structural strength of the high-pressure fluid chamber may not be able to withstand the internal pressure, which may result in structural damage.

[0006] Therefore, this solution proposes an engine braking device to overcome the above problems. Utility Model Content

Figure 1 The right side is the rear; at the same time, as Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal direction is roughly defined as left and right, and the vertical direction is defined as up and down. If a specific orientation changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an engine braking device, including a braking mechanism 1 and a rocker arm 2, wherein the braking mechanism 1 is mounted on the rocker arm 2, and a pressure relief component 3 is installed in the braking mechanism 1.

[0028] The braking mechanism 1 includes a housing 103, a fixing plate 114 is mounted on the bottom surface of the housing 103, a spring 112 is mounted on the end face of the fixing plate 114, and a push block 111 is mounted on the end face of the spring 112.

[0029] The pressure relief component 3 is installed on the push block 111. The pressure relief component 3 includes a moving block 305. The moving block 305 is installed on the bottom surface of the push block 111. A connecting cylinder 301 is installed on the end face of the moving block 305. The connecting cylinder 301 connects the top of the push block 111 and the interior of the moving block 305. Pressure relief grooves 306 are symmetrically opened on the lower side wall of the inner cavity of the moving block 305.

[0030] A spring 304 is installed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the movable block 305, a sealing bead 303 is installed on the top surface of the spring 304, and a fixed seat 101 is provided on the outer wall of the outer shell 103.

[0031] Other structural elements that work in conjunction with the braking device body 1 are not shown in the diagrams. They are identical to the structures shown in the patent with publication number CN214499193U and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In a further embodiment, refer to Figures 1-4 The sealing bead 303 is in contact with the bottom surface of the connecting cylinder 301, and the moving block 305 slides against the fixed plate 114; a spring seat 102 is installed above the inner cavity of the outer shell 103, a spring 105 is installed on the bottom surface of the spring seat 102, and a valve stem 104 is installed at the bottom end of the spring 105; a mounting bracket 109 is installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the outer shell 103, a spring seat 110 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 109, and a spring 113 is installed on the end face of the spring seat 110. A sealing bead 107 is installed on the end face of the second 113. A connecting groove 108 is opened on the end face of the mounting bracket 109, which connects the upper and lower sides of the outer shell 103. A connecting hole 115 is symmetrically opened on the upper part of the spring seat 110, which connects the upper and lower sides of the outer shell 103. An oil inlet 106 is opened on the side wall of the outer shell 103. An annular oil groove 4 and an oil hole 5 are provided on the upper part of the rocker arm 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, hydraulic oil is injected into the housing 103 through the oil hole 5, the annular oil groove 4 and the oil inlet 106. Then, the hydraulic oil pushes the valve stem 104 upward. As the pressure of the hydraulic oil rises, it pushes the sealing bead 107 downward.

Then the hydraulic oil will flow downward from the connection hole 115.

[0035] Subsequently, the high-pressure oil pushes the pusher block 111 and the pressure relief component 3 downward, pushing the pressure relief component 3 downward. If the pressure in the inner cavity of the outer shell 103 is too high, the internal hydraulic oil will push the sealing bead 2 303, causing the sealing bead 2 303 to compress the spring 4 304 downward, thereby connecting the inner cavity of the outer shell 103, the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 301 and the inner cavity of the moving block 305. Then the hydraulic oil will flow out from the pressure relief groove 306.
