Abstract

PURPOSE:To aim at construction of an engine in a compact size by arranging intake valves at both sides of an ignition plug in the direction of a cam shaft and arranging an intermediate intake valve outside the ignition plug. CONSTITUTION:Intake valves are arranged at both sides of an ignition plug 4 in the direction of a cam shaft. An intermediate intake valve 5 is arranged outside the ignition plug 5. The cam shaft of the intake valve 5 is provided at a position nearer a cylinder axial line than the can shaft of an exhaust valve 6. Accordingly, projection of the intake cam shaft toward the side of an engine can be restrained small so that the engine can be constructed in a compact size.

In an engine with a spark plug placed in the center of the combustion chamber, if many intake valves are simply provided, the spark plug and intake valve or pulp spring will be exposed,
Separate the intake valve from the spark plug. In other words, it becomes necessary to provide it so as to protrude from the side of the engine. Therefore, the intake camshaft that drives the intake valves also needs to be provided away from the center of the engine, resulting in the problem of increasing the size of the engine. The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned situation, and an object of the present invention is to make the engine more compact in an engine having three intake valves per cylinder.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a four-stroke engine with three intake valves and two exhaust valves per cylinder, and a single spark plug in the center of the combustion chamber. While the intake valves are placed on both sides of the spark plug in the camshaft direction,
In addition to placing the intermediate intake valve outside the spark plug,
The engine is characterized by the fact that the intake camshaft that drives the intake valves is located closer to the Schilling axis than the exhaust camshaft that drives the exhaust valves. [Operation] According to the present invention, the intake valves on both sides are arranged on both sides of the spark plug in the camshaft direction, and the middle intake valve is arranged in the external force of the spark plug, so each intake valve can be erected close to vertical. However, the intake camshaft can be moved closer to the Schilling axis without interfering with the α spark plug. In conjunction with this, the intake camshaft is located closer to the Schilling axis than the exhaust camshaft, making it possible to keep the intake shaft and the lateral protrusion of the shaft to a minimum, making it possible to make the ennon more compact. .

An example of the implementation of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. The drawings show one cylinder of a four-stroke engine, in which (a) is a shilling, (b) is a shilling head, (1) is an intake passage, and (2) is a shilling head.
is the exhaust passage. (3) is a combustion chamber formed on the lower surface of the nose (I) of the sill. (4) is a hole for installing a spark plug, and is opened in the center of one side of the combustion chamber (3). (5) is an intake valve that opens and closes the intake passage (1);
6) is a valve that opens and closes the exhaust passage (2). The lower ends of these intake valves (5) and exhaust valves (6) face the combustion chamber (3), and correspond to the opening ends of the intake passage (1) and exhaust passage (2), and the middle part is the gap. 5a)
(6a) is slidably supported on the wall surface of the shilling head (1). (7H8) is connected to the upper end of both the valves (5) and (6), and both valves (5) and (6) are connected directly above it through the 7ter (7) and (8). The corresponding camshaft (
9) and (10), and are driven by the shafts (9) and (10). The arrangement structure of the camshafts (9) and (10) is that the intake camshaft (9)
and the axis m (Q l) of the shilling (,) (+,,)
However, the distance (L2) between the exhaust camshaft (10) and the axis (Ql)
), i.e. the axis (Ql) of Schilling (a)
It is said to be close to (1, 1) (12) are springs that bias the intake valve (5) and the exhaust valve (6) in the valve closing direction. On the other hand, the camshafts (9) and (10) are connected to the shilling head (1
]) is rotatably held via a cam carrier (13) and a cam cap (14H15). (16) is a cover that covers the cam shafts (9) (1,0) and cam caps (14) (15), and is connected to the upper end of the cam carrier (13). Therefore, in order to improve its output performance, the above four-stroke engine has a plurality of intake valves (5) and a plurality of exhaust valves (6) per cylinder, but three of the intake valves (5) are provided. It will be done. In addition, depending on the number of each valve (5) (6), the intake passage (1)
Of course, the number of exhaust passages (2) can also be increased. The arrangement structure of the three intake valves (5) is such that the intake valves (5) on both sides are arranged on both sides of the spark plug in the direction of the camshafts (9) and (10), while the middle intake valve (5)
is placed outside the spark plug. At this time, since the diameter (d) of the cap part of the intake valve (5) is formed smaller than the diameter (D) of the cap part of the exhaust valve (6), the intake valves (5) on both sides are separated from the spark plug. It is easy to provide it on both sides. Also, the middle one faces the combustion chamber (3) with a smaller area relative to the axis (Ql) of the shilling (,) than the two on both sides. That is, if the inclination angle of the middle intake valve (5) is (al) and the inclination angle of the intake valves (5) on both sides is (a2), then a,<α2. Further, each of the intake valves (5) is arranged so that its axis (Q2) passes through the axis (01) of the camshaft (9). Further, as shown in Fig. 2, the intake valves (5) on both sides are arranged on both sides of the spark plug in the direction of the camshafts (9) and (10), while the middle intake valve (5) is located on the outside of the spark plug. Even if each intake valve (5) is placed vertically, it will not interfere with the spark plug. As a result, as mentioned above, the distance (L+) between the intake camshaft (9) and the Schilling (, ) axis (Ql) can be changed to the exhaust camshaft (
10) and the axis (Ql), ie, closer to the center of the combustion chamber (3). As a result, the intake camshaft (9) can be prevented from protruding to the side of the engine, and the engine can be made more compact. In addition, as shown in Figure i@2, the intake valve (5) is located at the center of the combustion chamber (3) on both sides with respect to the center line (Q,) that separates the intake side and the exhaust side. Each valve (5
) will not interfere with each other. Furthermore, each intake valve (5) has its axis M (u 2)
passes through the axis (0,) of the camshaft (9), so the axis (9)
There is no need for anything other than the 7ter (7) as a means of linking it to the 7. On the other hand, two exhaust valves (6) are provided, and the combustion chamber (3)
It is arranged on a straight line (Q,) parallel to the center line (Q,) within the center line. In addition, the exhaust valves (6) have their axes (Q5) passing through the axis (02) of the camshaft (10), and the inclination angles (a,) with respect to the axis (Ql) of the cylinder (a) are set to be equal. There is. Since there are two exhaust valves, they do not interfere with each other even if they are arranged in series within the combustion chamber (3), and they also serve as a means for linking them to the camshaft (10).
There is no need for anything other than the tar (8).

As described above, according to the present invention, the intake valves on both sides are arranged on both sides of the spark plug in the camshaft direction, the intermediate intake valve is arranged outside the spark plug, and the intake valves that drive the intake valves are arranged on both sides of the spark plug. Since the camshaft is located closer to the cylinder axis than the exhaust camshaft that drives the exhaust valves, it is possible to move the intake camshaft closer to the cylinder axis without each intake valve interfering with the spark plug. The sideward protrusion of the intake camshaft can be kept to a minimum, making the engine more compact.
