Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle engine technology, specifically to a dual balance shaft system for a motorcycle engine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, motorcycle engines have undergone continuous upgrades and replacements, and engines with balance shaft structures have become the mainstream development route. As users' use of motorcycles is no longer limited to just functional satisfaction, their requirements for engine riding comfort are also increasing.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN219035456U discloses a balance shaft structure for a single-cylinder motorcycle engine, including a crankshaft and a crank arm. A left crankshaft bearing and a right crankshaft bearing are mounted on both sides of the crankshaft. The key feature is that a balance drive gear is sleeved on the right crankshaft bearing, meshing with a balance driven gear. The balance driven gear is press-fitted onto the balance shaft. A water pump impeller is located at one end of the balance shaft away from the crankshaft, and a needle roller bearing is located at the other end. One side of the balance driven gear is a drive sprocket, which connects to a timing chain. This design results in a more compact engine size, ease of use, reliability, and low cost.

[0004] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: engines with balance shafts are usually single balance shafts, which can only counteract the first-order reciprocating inertial force of the engine, but they themselves will generate lateral forces and torques in the left and right directions when rotating, which cannot be balanced. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a dual balance shaft system for a motorcycle engine, characterized in that it includes a balance shaft system one, a balance shaft system two, and a crankshaft, wherein a balance drive gear one and a balance drive gear two are mounted on one end of the crankshaft; the balance shaft system one is driven by the balance drive gear one, and the balance shaft system two is driven by the balance drive gear two.

[0006] Preferably, the balance shaft system includes a balance driven tooth and a balance shaft, the balance driving tooth meshes with the balance driven tooth, the balance driven tooth and the balance shaft are press-fitted together, and a balance block is provided on the balance shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the balancing drive gear and the crankshaft are press-fitted together.

[0008] Preferably, the second balance shaft system includes a second balance driven gear and a main shaft assembly. The inner hole of the second balance driven gear is provided with a bushing and together they are assembled on the mandrel of the main shaft assembly through clearance fit.

[0009] To further improve balance performance, the upper part of the second balancing driven tooth is designed in a bowl shape, and a counterweight is set directly below it.

[0010] Preferably, the rotation centers of the balancing active gear one, balancing active gear two, balancing driven gear one, balancing driven gear two, and the crankshaft are on the same horizontal plane.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission ratio of the first balancing drive tooth and the first balancing driven tooth is 1:1, and the transmission ratio of the second balancing drive tooth and the second balancing driven tooth is 1:1.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. Due to the single balance shaft structure of the engine, the balance shaft can only reduce the vertical vibration of the piston, but cannot cancel out the lateral forces generated by rotation. The dual balance shaft system of this invention is arranged on both sides of the crankshaft, which can cancel out the lateral forces generated by rotation. At the same time, with the crankshaft as the center point, the torque is balanced by distributing the counterweights. Its ingenious structural design, simple and compact structure, and ability to completely balance the engine vibration problem can improve the overall riding comfort of the vehicle.
