Definitions

  • the invention relates to devices used in certain internal combustion engines for simultaneously actuating two stem valves by means of a single rocker arm.
  • the rocker pivots about an axis roughly orthogonal to the two rods and is supported on the end face of each of them by two bosses located respectively at the end of two juxtaposed arms of the rocker arm. So that the support of each boss on the associated rod takes place properly when the rocker rocker oscillates, said end face being flat and perpendicular to the axis of the rod, the cooperating face of the boss is curved, generally in the form of a spherical cap. .
  • Each valve is pushed towards the corresponding boss by a spring which tends to apply the head of the valve on a seat delimiting an intake or exhaust duct, and the rocker arm oscillates under the action of a rotary cam whose contour , fitted with a circular portion and a lobe, acts on the rocker arm directly or via a sliding plunger.
  • the object of the invention is to produce, by simple and light means, a device suitable for actuating with equal or even zero operating clearances, two stem valves associated with a single rocker arm.
  • the invention therefore relates to an actuating device for two stem valves, comprising a rocker arm which is mounted oscillating on an axis and comprises two arms terminated by bosses in abutment, respectively, against the end of associated valve stems , characterized in that the rocker arm is slidably mounted on its axis and in that, in line with each boss, one of the two contacting surfaces, of the boss or of the end of the rod, is curved in the shape of a substantially spherical cap , the other surface being planar or cylindrical, the two planar or cylindrical surfaces being inclined and arranged approximately symmetrically with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rocker arm.
  • rocker arm 1 which is mounted oscillating on an axis 2 carried by two bearings 3, 3a and which cooperates on one side with a cam 4 via a pusher 5 and on the other side with two valves 6, 7 with rod 8, 9.
  • the assembly is carried in the usual way by a cylinder head 10 of an internal combustion engine, the cam 4 being integral with a camshaft 11 parallel to the axis 2, and the pusher 5 sliding in a guide perpendicular to the shaft 11.
  • springs exert respectively on each of the valves a permanent axial thrust tending to place them in their closed position, position which they reach when the pusher 5 cooperates with a circular portion 4a of the cam, while that they move away from their seats by opening the associated conduits 12, 13 when the pusher 5 cooperates with a lobe 4b of the cam.
  • the rocker arm 1 is slidably mounted on the shaft 2 and a substantial space E1, E2 separates it from each bearing 3, 3a in the axial direction. It has two arms 19, 20 at the end of each of which is formed a boss 21, 22 ( Figure 3) or 23, 24 ( Figure 4) cooperating with the end face 25a, 26a of each of the rods ( Figure 4) or with a face 27a, 28a of a tip 27, 28 attached to the end 25, 26 of the corresponding rod ( Figure 3).
  • the end face 25a, 26a of the stems is curved in the shape of a spherical cap or roughly spherical, and the bosses 23, 24 cooperate with them respectively by two plane faces 23a, 24a symmetrically inclined with respect to the abovementioned plane PP.
  • these two faces 23a, 24a can alternatively be formed of cylinder portions having their respective generatrices symmetrical with respect to the plane PP.
  • the pusher 5 comprises a known device, not shown here, for taking up play tending to lengthen it when it is not subjected to a significant axial force, in particular when a clearance of operation appears between the rocker arm and the cooperating parts when the valves rest on their respective seats.
  • the take-up device can, in known manner, be interposed between the axis 2 and the cylinder head 10.
  • the pusher does not have a play take-up device but cooperates with the rocker arm by means of conventional clearance adjustment means.
  • This single adjustment means is sufficient to ensure equal operating clearances for the two valves since if these two games differed, the boss corresponding to the weakest of these games would come before the other boss in contact with the associated rod, causing as indicated above the self-centering of the rocker arm by sliding on its axis until the other boss reaches the cooperating face.
  • This arrangement has less inertia and is less expensive than those which include a means of adjustment to the right of each of the two bosses, and it ensures equality of the two games. even after possible different wear of the cooperating faces since the self-centering correction of the rocker arm is performed continuously during engine operation.
