Abstract
Reed valves with constrained opening for two cycle engine. A control mechanism for inlet valves on internal combustion engines with the kind of intake which can be used on two cycle engines. The motion on valve blades is controlled by cam supplied control device which is kept in motion in phase with the engine.
Description
MECHANISM CONTROLLING INTAKE REED VALVES FOR TWO CYCLE ENGINE.
To be able to achieve a high power output from a two stroke engine it is essential to design the intake system for highest possible charging ratio of air admitted to the engine. A well working system which today is used on many high performance engines is a reed valve intake system. It consists of elastic membrane valves which have the function of non-return valves which open due to elasticity when the engine gives a certain negative pressure on the inlet side.
When after that, the admission period is completed and the fresh charge shall be scavenged into the combustion chamber, the pressure value in the inlet passage changes from negative to positive pressure, closing the membrane valve and obstructing the fresh charge from going backwards and out through the carburator.
For induction and scavenging of air in a two stroke engine the reciprocating movement of the piston is used as is well known. The aforementioned system allthough contains the following disadvantages:
* The resistibility against valve opening prevents optimal air charging especially within a range of low revolutions.
* If the valve is designed for low force opening gaining charge within a range of low revolutions, problems occur within the higher range of revolutions as the valves can't move fast enough due to low spring force.
Also the durability may be limited as low spring force normally means thin material. The present invention does not have the limitations of todays systems which are described above.
It permits charging without flow resistance caused by valve opening force in the lower as well as the higher range of revolutions. The systems also comprises a completely controlled timing of the opening and closing sequenses of the induction period.
la DESCRIPTION
Fig.1-3:
The valveblades 1 are mounted on shafts 2 which are journalled in valve carrier 3. In one end of the shafts 2 lifterarms 4 and returnsprings 5 are situated.
Against the lifterarms 4 the camdisc 6 is operating. The camdisc 6 rotates with a predetermined number of revolutions in a fixed ratio to the crankshaft of the engine.
Depending on the shape of the camdisc and the positioning of the lifterarms a gear reduction of for example 1:2 may preferably be choosen for the camdisc. The valve carrier with valves is located in the intake passage.
The valvesystem can also be used in supercharged engines when placed in an inletpassage directly connected to inlet ports in the cylinder bore. By designing the camdisc or its transmitting system in a more complicated way the valve can be given a varying opening height and/or duration depending on the engine speed.
Assimilar systems are already in use on fourstroke engines and their valve timing control systems. A schematic view of such an example is shown in fig.7.
The camdisc is split in two halves which under influence of centrifugal force move apart from each other when the rotating speed increases. The spring element 21 counteracts this movement to a prefered degree.
2 AN APPLICATION SHOWING AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM IS SHOWED IN FIG.4-6
Fig.4
Sideview of a motorcycleengine with the transmissioncover removed.
The valve carrier 3 with the inlet pipe 20 is shown separated from the inlet passage 17.
The crankshaft 7 with the gearwheel 8 transmitts torque to the primary shaft 9 of the gearbox on which the gearwheel 10 is mounted.
Firmly connected with the gearwheel 10 is the gear wheel 11 which, as one function, has to transmit torque to the crankshaft 7 with the help of gearwheel 12 and the intermediate gear 13 when starting the engine. A kickstarter then actuates the gear wheel 12.
The gearwheel 11 also controls the gearwheel 19 via the intermediate gearwheel 14.
The shaft 15 is firmly connected to the gearwheel 19 in one end and the camdisc 6 in the other end.
The shaft is journalled in the partition wall 16 between the engines transmissionhousing and one side of the inletpassage 17.
The shaft 15 rotates half the number of revolutions compared to the crankshaft because the wheels 8 and 10 have the gear ratio 1:3 and the wheels 11 and 19 have the gear ratio 3:2.
Fig.5
Sideview of a motorcycleengine with the sidecover over the crankshaftarea and inlet passage removed.
The cylinder is displayed vertically sectioned.
By the upward motion of the piston 18 the camdisc 6 actuates
the lifterarms 4 bringing the valveblades 1 to an open state for the engines induction of air or airmixture.
The returnspringε 5 forces the lifterarms 4 against the camdisc 6, and hence the valveblades also closes the inlet in accordance with the shape of the camdisc in a timesequence when the admission period shall be completed.
