Valve train device and cylinder head provided with same

摘要

A valve train device installed in a cylinder head of an engine and driven by a camshaft including a valve unit having an intake valve and an exhaust valve communicated with a combustion chamber of an engine, each of the intake valve and exhaust valve having a linearly extending stem portion and driven in an extending direction of the stem portion; a valve lifter disposed between one end side of the stem portion located apart from the combustion chamber and the camshaft to transmit power from the camshaft to the valve unit; a lost motion unit that interrupts power transmission from the valve lifter to the valve unit; a first spring urging the valve unit in a direction to close the intake valve or exhaust valve; and a second spring having a diameter lager than that of the first spring and urging the lost motion unit against the valve lifter.

1. A valve train device installed in a cylinder head of an engine and driven by a camshaft of the engine, the valve train device comprising:
a valve unit including an intake valve and an exhaust valve communicated with a combustion chamber of an engine, each of the intake valve and exhaust valve having a linearly extending stem portion and being driven in an extending direction of the stem portion to open/close an intake port or exhaust port communicating with the combustion chamber of the engine; a valve lifter disposed between a first end side of the stem portion located apart from the combustion chamber and the camshaft so as to transmit power from the camshaft to the valve unit; a lost motion unit that interrupts power transmission from the valve lifter to the valve unit; a first spring having a first and second end and urging the valve unit in a direction to close the intake valve or exhaust valve; and a second spring having a first and second end and a diameter larger than that of the first spring and urging the lost motion unit against the valve lifter, wherein the first end side of the second spring is disposed at a portion closer to the first end side of the stem portion than a location of the first end side of the first spring with respect to the cylinder head, wherein the first spring and the second spring have respective first and second spring seats, wherein the first spring seat has an outer bearing surface portion that receives the second end of the second spring on the other end side in the extending direction of the stem portion, and the second spring seat has an inner bearing surface portion that receives an end of the first spring on the other end side in the extending direction of the stem portion, and wherein the first spring has an end surface portion exposed between the first spring seat and the second spring seat, the valve train device further comprising a valve guide mounted around the stem portion so as to guide the stem portion, wherein a stepped annular recess is formed around the valve guide of an outer wall portion of the intake port and the second end of the first spring is disposed in the stepped annular recess, wherein the first and second spring seats are integrally formed so as to form a stepped cylindrical shape that is mounted to the stepped annular recess of the wall portion of the intake port and mounted around the valve guide, and wherein a lower end of the first spring is positioned closer to an umbrella portion, which is positioned at the other end side in the extending direction of the stem portion, than a lower end of the second spring.
