Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of camshaft structure, and more specifically, it relates to a car engine camshaft with a low-friction structure. Background Technology
[0002] As the core component of the valve train of an automobile engine, the camshaft drives the tappets and rocker arms to move through the rotation of the cam body, thereby achieving precise opening and closing of the valves. This directly determines the engine's intake efficiency, combustion efficiency, and power output. When the engine is running at high speed, there is continuous sliding friction between the working surface of the cam body and the tappets, and there is also rolling friction between the support journal and the bearing.
[0003] Based on the above, the continuous sliding friction of traditional camshafts will cause the cam profile and tappet surface to wear rapidly. This not only shortens the replacement cycle of camshaft and valve train components and increases user maintenance costs, but may also cause a decrease in cam profile accuracy due to wear, leading to faults such as poor valve sealing and valve timing misalignment, which in turn causes a decrease in engine power, idling vibration, or even excessive emissions. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a car engine camshaft with a low-friction structure. This solves the problem that the continuous sliding friction of traditional camshafts leads to rapid wear of the cam profile and tappet surfaces, which not only shortens the replacement cycle of the camshaft and valve train components and increases user maintenance costs, but may also cause a decrease in cam profile accuracy due to wear, resulting in faults such as poor valve sealing and valve timing misalignment, which in turn causes problems such as reduced engine power, idling vibration, and even excessive emissions.
[0005] This utility model discloses a car engine camshaft with a low-friction structure, achieved through the following specific technical means: A low-friction camshaft for an automobile engine comprises the following core components: a load-bearing shaft column, a load-bearing support cylinder, a first cam, and a second cam. A drive gear is fixedly installed at one end of the bearing shaft column, and an assembly shaft groove is opened on the outer side of the bearing shaft column; the bearing support cylinder is rotatably sleeved on the inner side of the assembly shaft groove; the first cam is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the bearing shaft column, and a rotating loading groove is opened on the side of the first cam, and a rotating shaft groove is opened on the inner side of the rotating loading groove; the second cam is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the bearing shaft column, and a rotating inner groove is opened on the outer side of the second cam.
[0006] Furthermore, the inner side of the assembly shaft groove is also provided with a rotating slot and a rotating support ring; the rotating slot is opened on the inner side of the assembly shaft groove, and the rotating support ring is fixedly sleeved on the inner side of the assembly shaft groove.
[0007] Furthermore, the side of the bearing support cylinder is also provided with a rotating groove and a rotating side ring; the rotating groove is opened on the side of the bearing support cylinder, and the rotating side ring is fixedly set on both sides of the bearing support cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner side of the rotating carrier groove is also provided with a rotating inner ring and a rotating retaining ring; the rotating inner ring is rotatably sleeved on the inner side of the rotating carrier groove, and the rotating retaining ring is fixedly set on the inner side of the rotating inner ring.
[0009] Furthermore, the second cam side is also provided with a rotating outer ring and a rotating shaft collar; the rotating outer ring is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the second cam, and the rotating shaft collar is fixedly disposed on the inside of the rotating outer ring.
[0010] The automobile engine camshaft with a low-friction structure provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model achieves the following optimization effects by providing a bearing shaft column, a bearing support cylinder, a first cam, and a second cam: By cooperating with the bearing support cylinder and the rotating support ring, the rotational support method of the bearing shaft column is directly optimized, transforming traditional sliding friction into more efficient rolling support. This reduces the frictional resistance of the bearing shaft column from the transmission source. At the same time, by utilizing the corresponding cooperation between the rotating shaft groove and the rotating inner ring, and the rotating inner groove and the rotating outer ring, targeted rotational contact support is formed on the sides of the first cam and the second cam respectively, accurately eliminating the sliding friction between the cam side and the surrounding components. This structure achieves synchronous low-friction operation of the three core moving components: the bearing shaft column, the first cam, and the second cam, and completely cuts off the main source of friction loss. Through multi-dimensional friction reduction design, the profile wear of the bearing column caused by continuous friction is effectively avoided. At the same time, it prevents the rapid wear of the surfaces of the first camshaft, the second camshaft and mating parts, significantly extending the replacement cycle of the camshaft as a whole and valve train components (such as valve tappets), directly reducing the user's later maintenance costs. In addition, the reduction of component wear can maintain the accuracy of the cam profile and the stability of the valve timing for a long time, effectively avoiding faults such as poor valve sealing, reduced engine power, and idling vibration caused by wear, thus improving the reliability of engine operation.
