- the valve opening operation of the valve 11 is delayed with respect to the supply of high-pressure fuel or collision.
- the volume of the pressure chamber 18 gradually increases in the course of the inertial movement of the valve 11, but the movement of the valve 11 is caused by the inertial movement of the high-pressure fuel of several tens to several 100MPa.

- Third is also possible to keep the operating valve 30 closed and keep it fully open as indicated by K.
- FIG. 8 shows the operation of each part from valve opening to valve closing in the device of the present embodiment.
- a command pulse for a predetermined period t CP 1 is given to the first operating valve 20 only at the initial stage of valve opening, and the first operating valve 20 is opened. .
- the first actuating valve 20 is turned off in a short time, and at the same time, the balance valve is closed and the supply of high-pressure fuel to the pressure chamber 18 is stopped.However, since the valve 11 is in an inertial motion, The valve 11 does not stop immediately, which causes a volume increase in the pressure chamber 18 more than the amount corresponding to the high-pressure fuel inflow, and the pressure chamber 18 becomes lower than the instantaneous feed pressure P f (( c) Q) in the figure. As a result, the check valve 34 opens, the low-pressure fuel is introduced into the low-pressure chamber 32 (Fig. (D)), the valve lift is performed by the initial energy due to the inflow of the high-pressure fuel, and the valve 11 is fully opened. .
- the flow rate is determined uniformly when the piston cross-sectional area Ap and the valve speed dx / dt are determined. Therefore, it is understood that it is effective to use low pressure to reduce the energy loss here. This is why low-pressure fuel is introduced into the pressure chamber 18 during valve lift in this embodiment. This makes it possible to reduce unnecessary energy.
- the valve when there is no fuel (pressure) in or out of the pressure chamber 18, the valve is stationary. Will be maintained. As a result, the valve can be kept open for a desired time. It is also possible to maintain the intermediate opening.
- FIG. 3 shows the friction loss of each part in a diesel engine using the valve train, and the vertical axis is the shaft average effective pressure. This is the value obtained by dividing the negative work related to the friction loss by the engine displacement.
- the horizontal axis is the engine speed, that is, here, the value of each loss ratio with respect to the engine speed measured by the decomposition friction method is shown. From these results, the ratio of the friction of the valve train to the total friction is 2 to 4%. By multiplying this by the input energy, the energy required to drive the valve train can be calculated. As a result of the calculation, the required driving energy per valve was 1.65J.
- the camless system requires higher valve drive energy than the cam drive system, resulting in deterioration of output and fuel efficiency.
- the magnet 17 is used in addition to the valve spring 16.
- the driving energy is theoretically determined by the equivalent weight m x the valve lift X. Since the valve lift X is uniquely determined by the engine performance, it is necessary to reduce the equivalent weight m to reduce the driving energy.
- the equivalent weight means the mass of the valve itself + the load from the valve spring or the like. In reality, it is impossible to greatly reduce the mass of the valve itself, and therefore, in the present embodiment, attention was paid to the term of load.
- magnets have the characteristic that the force attenuates in inverse proportion to the square of the distance, as shown by the solid line in the figure. Therefore, in the case of the present embodiment in which the magnet is used in combination with the valve spring, the characteristic of the valve opening holding force can be as shown by a two-dot chain line in the figure. Therefore, the valve-opening holding force can be reduced as compared with the case where only the valve spring is used, which leads to a reduction in driving energy.
- the spring which tends to increase in load as the lift increases, and the magnet, which tends to decrease in load, add the minimum load required to close the valve, increasing the lift.
- Fig. 5 shows the results of calculating the drive energy based on the characteristics (absolute values are different) of the valve spring and the magnet shown in Fig. 4.
- the normal cam drive method is 1.65J as shown in (a).
- the valve closing force Fs 30 kgf is secured only by the valve spring, as shown in (d) 4.85 It requires energy as high as J.
- the magnet other than a permanent magnet, another magnet such as an electromagnet can be used. However, it is more preferable to use permanent magnets because the cost is low and the driving energy of the electromagnet is not required.
- Figure 6 shows the relationship between the input energy (horizontal axis) and the maximum lift (vertical axis) of the valve.
- the pressure of the high-pressure fuel introduced into the pressure chamber 18 is 10 MPa (dashed line) and lOOMPa (one point). (Dashed line) and 200MPa (solid line). This shows that the higher the pressure, the better the efficiency.
- increasing the pressure further reduces the energy required for the same lift and can improve energy efficiency.
- This embodiment which uses a common rail pressure as high as several 100MPa, is very effective in reducing the driving energy in this sense. In addition, there is no need for a separate device to create high pressure. This can contribute to simplification and cost reduction.
- Fig. 7 shows the results of verifying the effectiveness of using low pressure during valve lift.
- the same apparatus as in the present embodiment was targeted, and the case where low pressure was introduced into the pressure chamber (low pressure used, solid line) and the case where low pressure was not introduced (low pressure not used, dashed line) were examined.
- the energy required for normal cam drive is 1.65 J, as indicated by X.
- the present embodiment also has the following structural features.
- the piston 13 does not come out of the piston inlet port 4 4 until the valve 11 is fully closed to fully open, and the movement amount of the piston 13 is
- the ratio of the increase in the volume of the pressure chamber 18 to the pressure is kept constant. Therefore, all the pressure energy of the high-pressure fuel or the low-pressure fuel introduced into the pressure chamber 18 can be efficiently converted into the kinetic energy of the valve 11, and the energy loss and the driving loss can be reduced. can do.
- the present embodiment allows the pressure energy to be effectively used for the movement of the valve 11 until the valve 11 is fully closed to fully open. is there.
- the low-pressure fuel is supplied from the low-pressure chamber 32 provided outside the actuator body 14 to the low-pressure passage 31 formed by a dedicated hole or the like provided inside the actuator body 14. Is directly introduced into the pressure chamber 18. This prevents the flow path of the low-pressure fuel from becoming excessively large, and makes it possible to immediately introduce the low-pressure fuel. Control and responsiveness are improved.
- the check valve 34 is located at the outlet of the low-pressure passage 31 adjacent to the pressure chamber 18, low-pressure fuel is introduced into the pressure chamber 18 when the check valve 34 opens. Time lag can be minimized, which is also very effective in improving controllability and responsiveness.
- the discharge passage 19 is directly connected to the pressure chamber 18, fuel can be immediately discharged from the pressure chamber 18, which is advantageous for improving controllability and responsiveness.
- the working fluid is engine fuel (light oil), the high-pressure working fluid is common-rail pressure fuel, and the low-pressure working fluid is feed pressure fuel.
- the working fluid may be ordinary oil or the like.
- a high pressure and a low pressure may be created by a hydraulic device.
- the valve spring and the magnet are used in combination to urge the valve in the closing operation direction.
- the valve spring alone or the magnet alone may be used alone.
- the flange is attracted by the magnet.
- the internal combustion engine is not limited to a common rail diesel engine, but may be an ordinary injection pump type diesel engine, a gasoline engine, or the like.
- the first operating valve is not limited to the pressure balanced control valve as described above, and may be a normal spool valve or the like.
- the third operating valve is not limited to the above-described throttle valve, but may be an ordinary spool valve or the like.
- the spool valve has the advantage that a large opening area can be obtained with a short stroke, it is difficult to control the minute flow rate. Therefore, when a spool valve is used, it is preferable to use a piezo element or a giant magnetostrictive element to increase the operation speed. In any case, it is desirable that the operating speed of the electric valve at the operating valve be as high as possible.
- the first working valve of the pressure balance type in the above embodiment is suitable because it can satisfy such a demand for high-speed operation and high response.
- the present invention can be applied to any internal combustion engine having an intake valve or an exhaust valve, such as a diesel engine or a gasoline engine for vehicles, industrial use, or general use.
