[0002] In related technologies, the engine uses a rocker arm in conjunction with a hydraulic tappet to selectively open and close the intake and exhaust valves. The rocker arm needs to swing back and forth with the hydraulic tappet as the support point.

[0003] However, in order to ensure that the rocker arm does not hit the hydraulic tappet mounting holes of the cylinder head during reciprocating swing, it is necessary to raise the height of the camshaft center and lengthen the valves, resulting in a higher cylinder head height and increased cylinder head weight. This is not conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the cylinder head and thus the engine manufacturing cost. At the same time, the higher cylinder head height increases the overall engine height, resulting in higher requirements for the longitudinal mounting arrangement of the engine and making mounting arrangement difficult.

[0029] In this application, "multiple" means two or more (including two).

[0030] In related technologies, the engine uses a rocker arm in conjunction with a hydraulic tappet to selectively open and close the intake and exhaust valves. The rocker arm needs to swing back and forth with the hydraulic tappet as the support point.

[0031] However, in order to ensure that the rocker arm does not hit the hydraulic tappet mounting holes of the cylinder head during reciprocating swing, it is necessary to raise the height of the camshaft center and lengthen the valve length, resulting in a higher cylinder head height, increased cylinder head weight, which is not conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the cylinder head and the engine. At the same time, the higher cylinder head height leads to an increase in the overall engine height, resulting in higher requirements for engine mounting (especially longitudinal mounting), making mounting difficult.

[0032] Based on this, this application proposes an engine that, without increasing the cylinder head height or extending the valve (valve stem) length, ensures that the rocker arm will not touch the hydraulic tappet mounting hole during the swinging process. This not only reduces the center height behind the cylinder head camshaft, but also reduces the cylinder head height and valve length, thereby achieving a lightweight design, reducing the engine's space occupation, lowering costs, and simplifying layout.

[0033] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 This invention describes an engine and a vehicle according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this application provides an engine, including: a cylinder head 10 and a rocker arm 20. The cylinder head 10 has a valve hole 11, a mounting hole 12, and a main oil passage 13 located between the valve hole 11 and the mounting hole 12 and communicating with the mounting hole 12. The rocker arm 20 is movably disposed on the cylinder head 10. The rocker arm 20 includes a rocker arm body 21 and a first arm 22 and a second arm 23 located on both sides of the rocker arm body 21. The first arm 22 is opposite to the valve hole 11, and the second arm 23 is opposite to the mounting hole 12. A recess 131 for avoiding the rocker arm 20 is provided on the outer wall surface of the main oil passage 13 facing the area of ​​the rocker arm 20. The recess 131 is recessed towards the inner hole of the main oil passage 13.

[0035] Specifically, the cylinder head 10 is provided with valve holes 11, mounting holes 12, and camshaft mounting holes 12. The valve guide is interference-fitted into the valve hole 11, and the valve 40 passes through the valve guide. The valve 40 can be an intake valve or an exhaust valve, and the corresponding valve hole 11 can be an intake valve hole or an exhaust valve hole. The intake valve is set with the intake port on the cylinder head, and the exhaust valve is set with the exhaust port on the cylinder head. The valve 40 is used to selectively open and close the intake port and exhaust port on the cylinder head 10. The hydraulic tappet 50 is mounted in the mounting hole 12, and the camshaft 30 is mounted in the camshaft mounting hole 12. When the cam of the camshaft 30 rotates, it drives the rocker arm 20. The rocker arm 20 reciprocates with the hydraulic tappet 50 as the support point to control the opening and closing of the valve 40.

[0036] It should be noted that when the cam lobe of the camshaft 30 contacts the rocker arm 20, the valve 40 is in the open state. The force is directly and effectively transmitted to the rocker arm 20 and the valve 40 through the hydraulic tappet 50, overcoming the elastic force of the valve spring and opening the valve 40 smoothly and quickly until the valve 40 reaches its maximum lift. At this stage, the distance between the lower contour of the rocker arm body 21 (i.e., the contour surface of the rocker arm body 21 facing the main oil passage 13) and the outer contour of the main oil passage 13 is at or close to the minimum value in the reciprocating motion. In the prior art, in order to ensure that the rocker arm 20 does not collide with the main oil passage 13 at this stage, the length of the valve 40 is increased to increase the distance between the lower contour of the rocker arm body 21 and the outer contour of the main oil passage 13. However, this will increase the center height of the camshaft 30, which in turn will increase the height of the cylinder head 10, resulting in increased manufacturing costs of the valve 40 and cylinder head 10, and increased difficulty in engine layout (especially longitudinal layout).

[0037] Furthermore, this application provides a recess 131 on the outer wall of the main oil passage 13. The wall of the recess 131 is recessed away from the rocker arm 20, so that the distance between the lower contour of the rocker arm body 21 and the main oil passage 13 is larger, so that the probability of the rocker arm 20 hitting the main oil passage 13 during the swinging process is lower. Therefore, it is not necessary to raise the cylinder head 10 and extend the length of the valve 40, which can reduce the mass of the cylinder head 10 and the valve 40 to meet the requirements of lightweighting. At the same time, it can reduce the longitudinal height of the engine, reduce the difficulty of engine layout, and reduce the cost of the engine.

[0038] According to the engine of the present application embodiment, by providing a recess 131 on the outer wall surface of the main oil passage 13 facing the lower contour of the rocker arm body 21, the rocker arm 20 can be avoided by the recess 131, thus preventing contact between the main oil passage 13, the mounting hole 12 and the rocker arm 20. Therefore, it is not necessary to raise the cylinder head 10 and extend the length of the valve 40, which can reduce the mass of the cylinder head 10 and the valve 40 to meet the requirements of lightweighting. At the same time, the longitudinal height of the engine can be reduced, the layout difficulty of the engine can be reduced, and the cost of the engine can be reduced.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the cross-sectional profile of the recess 131 is arc-shaped.

[0040] This makes the outline of the recess 131 smoother, which can prevent local protrusions on the wall of the recess 131, further reducing the probability of contact between the recess 131 and the rocker arm 20, reducing the wear of the rocker arm 20, extending the service life of the rocker arm 20, and improving the stability and reliability of the engine.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this application, the radius of the concave surface of the recess 131 is smaller than the radius of the outer contour 231 of the second arm 23 facing the main oil passage 13, and the centers of both are located on the side of the rocker arm body 21 facing the main oil passage 13.

[0042] Specifically, the radius of the concave wall of the recess 131 is smaller than the radius of the outer contour 231 of the second arm 23 facing the main oil passage 13 (that is, the cross-sectional contour of the area where the second arm 23 connects to the rocker arm body 21 facing the main oil passage 13 is arc-shaped, and the radius of the arc in this area is larger). This allows the valve 40 to have a larger lift, maximizing the valve 40 lift, thereby improving the valve 40 opening effect and ensuring intake and exhaust efficiency.

[0043] See Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the minimum distance D1 between the recess 131 and the inner wall of the main oil passage 13 is ≥2mm.

[0044] Specifically, in order to prevent high-pressure oil in the main oil passage 13 from leaking out of the pit 131, the distance between the pit 131 and the inner wall of the main oil passage 13 should be no less than 2mm, such as 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, etc.

[0045] In this way, even if there are large machining deviations within the allowable error range during the casting process of the outer wall of the main oil passage 13 and / or the machining process of the main oil passage 13, the thickness of the dense aluminum alloy layer of the cylinder head 10 can still meet the requirements, so as to ensure the airtightness of the main oil passage 13 and the oil pressure stability of the high-pressure oil in the main oil passage 13, and prevent the high-pressure oil from seeping out from the pit 131.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the engine further includes: a valve 40 and a hydraulic tappet 50. The valve 40 is movably disposed in the valve hole 11. A first arm 22 abuts against the valve 40. The hydraulic tappet 50 is mounted in the mounting hole 12. A second arm 23 abuts against the hydraulic tappet 50. The width D2 of the second arm 23 and the dimension D3 of the recess 131 in the width direction of the second arm 23 satisfy: D2≤D3.

[0047] Specifically, the rocker arm body 21 is movably mounted on the cylinder head 10, and the first arm 22 and the second arm 23 respectively abut against the hydraulic tappet 50 of the valve 40. The hydraulic tappet 50 can support the second arm 23 and, in conjunction with the internal oil pressure changes and the camshaft 30, realize the opening and closing of the valve 40.

[0048] In this application, the rocker arm 20 reciprocates with the hydraulic tappet 50 as the support point, causing the top plunger surface of the hydraulic tappet 50 to move in the cylinder arrangement direction with the contact surface of the rocker arm 20 (the surface of the second arm 23). The width D3 of the recess 131 is not less than the width dimension D2 of the second arm 23, which allows for sufficient clearance between the side wall of the second arm 23 and the recess 131 in the cylinder arrangement direction. This ensures the stability of the reciprocating motion of the rocker arm 20, prevents the second arm 23 from rubbing against the recess 131, avoids the rocker arm 20 from jamming, and improves the smoothness of the rocker arm 20's movement.

[0049] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the engine further includes: a camshaft 30, a cam on the camshaft 30 contacting a rocker arm 20 to drive a first arm 22 to push a valve 40, the angle between the axis of the valve 40 and the axis of the hydraulic tappet 50 is a1, and the angle between the axis of the valve 40 and the line connecting the center of the camshaft 30 and the center of the rocker arm body 21 is a2, and a2≤a1 is satisfied.

[0050] Specifically, the angle between valve 40 and hydraulic tappet 50 is a1, and the angle between the line L1 connecting the center of camshaft 30 and the center of rocker arm body 21 and the axis of valve 40 is a2, and a2 is greater than or equal to a1.

[0051] In this way, on the one hand, by arranging the valve 40 and the hydraulic tappet 50 at an angle, the height of the cylinder head 10 can be further reduced, thereby reducing the difficulty of layout, reducing costs, and meeting the requirements of lightweighting. On the other hand, the hydraulic tappet 50 and the valve 40 are arranged at an angle, which can easily generate lateral forces that cause wear on the valve 40 or valve guide. This makes the angle a2 less than or equal to the angle a1, which can match the position of the camshaft 30 center relative to the valve 40, thereby reducing lateral forces, reducing wear on the valve 40 and valve guide, and extending service life.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this application, 0.2a1≤a2≤0.7a1.

[0053] For example, a2 is 50°, and a1 can be 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, etc., preferably 25°.

[0054] In this way, by setting the included angle a2 appropriately, the lateral force can be effectively reduced to an acceptable range, thereby reducing the probability of valve guide wear. At the same time, a more reasonable included angle a1 can reduce the height of the cylinder head 10 and the overall size of the engine. The reasonable setting of both a1 and a2 can ensure the reliability of engine operation.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, an oil drain section 121 is provided on the mounting hole 12, the hydraulic tappet 50 has an oil inlet hole and an oil drain hole, the main oil passage 13 is connected to the oil inlet hole, the oil drain section 121 is connected to the oil drain hole of the hydraulic tappet 50, and the included angle α3 formed by the oil drain section 121 and the bottom surface of the mounting hole 12 is greater than or equal to 90°.

[0056] Specifically, the drain section 121 is located on the bottom surface of the hydraulic tappet mounting hole 12. Hydraulic oil can be supplied to the inlet hole from the main oil passage 13 and can be discharged from the hydraulic tappet 50 through the drain hole and returned through the drain section 121.

[0057] Therefore, by making the included angle a3 between the oil drain part 121 on the mounting hole 12 and the bottom surface of the mounting hole 12 greater than 90°, the machining burrs and flash at the intersection of the oil drain part 121 and the mounting hole 12 can be effectively reduced during the machining of the hydraulic tappet 50, and metal chips can be reduced, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the mounting hole 12 of the hydraulic tappet 50 and the cylinder head 10, and reduce the hidden dangers caused by poor cleanliness.

[0058] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, when the valve 40 is in the closed state, the distance D4 between the outer contour of the rocker arm body 21 facing the main oil passage 13 and the outer contour of the main oil passage 13 is ≥1mm.

[0059] When the cam base circle of the camshaft 30 contacts the rocker arm 20, the valve 40 is in the closed state, the valve 40 mechanism has no load or very little load, the high pressure oil in the main oil passage 13 enters the hydraulic tappet 50 through the oil inlet hole, causing the plunger inside the hydraulic tappet 50 to move upward, so that the plunger and the rocker arm 20 contact tightly, so that the height of the hydraulic tappet 50 reaches the maximum or close to the maximum.

[0060] At this stage, the distance D4 between the lower contour of the rocker arm body 21 and the outer wall of the main oil passage 13 is at or near the maximum value during reciprocating motion. At this time, D4 ​​is not less than 1mm, and the corresponding D1 is not less than 2mm. This can effectively prevent the rocker arm body 21 from touching the outer contour of the main oil passage 13 and prevent the pit 131 from touching the second arm 23, thereby reducing the probability of the rocker arm 20 touching the main oil passage 13.

[0061] In summary, this application designs an arrangement structure for the camshaft 30, rocker arm 20, valve 40, and cylinder head 10, which ensures that the rocker arm 20 will not touch the mounting hole 12 and the main oil passage 13 during reciprocating swing. Correspondingly, there is no need to increase the height of the cylinder head 10 and the length of the valve 40, thereby reducing the center height of the camshaft 30, the height of the cylinder head 10, and the length of the valve 40. This effectively reduces the weight of the cylinder head 10 and the valve 40, effectively reduces the manufacturing cost of the cylinder head 10 and the valve 40, and achieves a lightweight design of the cylinder head 10 and the valve 40. This improves the engine performance, reduces the engine cost, and improves the engine's space utilization, especially the longitudinal space utilization. It can reduce the longitudinal height of the engine and reduce the difficulty of engine layout.

[0062] This application provides a vehicle, including the engine described in the above embodiments.

[0063] The vehicle according to the embodiments of this application, by employing the above-described engine, can reduce vehicle costs and improve vehicle driving stability.
