A sliding cavity is formed in a shell, a compression spring is installed in the sliding cavity, a
piston is installed in the sliding cavity in a sliding fit mode, and the
piston is ejected outwards under the action of the compression spring and abuts against a chain guide plate. A plurality of annular
ratchet grooves are formed in the extending end of the
piston, the adjacent
ratchet grooves are connected, the
ratchet spring comprises matching sections arranged in pairs, the matching sections are provided with outwards-protruding arc-shaped clamping parts, the arc-shaped clamping parts are clamped in the ratchet grooves, and protruding limiting blocks are arranged on the outer side wall of the shell and located in U-shaped grooves of the corresponding U-shaped sections. The
cam shaft chain tensioning device has the beneficial effects that the
cam shaft chain can be effectively tensioned, the abnormal
noise generated by the chain can be effectively avoided in the cold starting process, after the
cam shaft chain extends, the cam shaft chain tensioning device can adapt to the change of the length of the cam shaft chain through
jumping of the ratchet spring, the tensioning force of the cam shaft chain is guaranteed, and the service life of the cam shaft chain is prolonged. Synchronous operation of the chain wheel and the chain is guaranteed.
