Abstract

Mechanical tappet is used to reduce the cost and friction loss compared with hydraulic tappet. But the mechanical tappet doesn't have the ability to control the clearance between cams and valves and is selected by measuring the distance between valves and cams in order to minimize the clearance of valves by considering thermal expansion of valves. So, the valve clearance is nearly zero after fully warming-up periods, but there is valve clearance before warming-up. Especially at cold condition, the clearance is relatively large and can bring about some problems. In this study, the valve motions like lift, velocity, seating velocity and bouncing height were studied at various valve clearance conditions by experiment and analysis. As the valve clearance increases, the ramp area becomes shorten and it causes the valve train motion to have bad effects.

기계적 태핏은 유압 태핏과 비교하여 원가와 마찰 손실을 줄일 수 있어 사용된다. 그러나 기계적 태핏은 캠과 밸브 사이의 간극을 조절하는 기능이 없으므로 밸브의 열팽창을 고려하여 캠과 밸브 사이의 거리를 측정하여 선정된다. 그러므로 충분한 워밍 업 후에는 밸브 간극이 거의 없지만 그 전에는 밸브 간극이 존재한다. 특히 냉간 작동 조건에서는 비교적 큰 편이고 소음과 진동 같은 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 밸브 간극을 변경시켜 가며 각각의 조건에서의 밸브 리프트, 속도, 가속도, 시팅 속도, 바운싱 높이 등에 대하여 시험과 해석을 통하여 연구되었다. 밸브 간극이 증가할수록 램프 구간이 감소하게 되어 밸브의 거동에 좋지 않은 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
