Description
本發明係關於一種車輛用引擎之水泵轉軸支撐構造,特別是關於一種可提高組裝可靠度及組裝便利性之車輛用引擎之水泵轉軸支撐構造。The present invention relates to a water pump shaft support structure for a vehicle engine, and more particularly to a water pump shaft support structure for a vehicle engine that can improve assembly reliability and assembly convenience.
現今,一般速克達型機車之內燃機(engine)在燃燒汽油產生動力期間皆不可避免的會提高內燃機的工作溫度,若工作溫度過高,將導致構件體積膨脹變大、構件之間的間隙變小及機油黏性降低,因而造成構件之間的摩擦及損耗增加,並因摩擦而連帶產生更高的溫度,最後使得內燃機因過熱而損壞。因此,在內燃機運轉期間,必需持續驅散其產生之熱能,以確保能正常運作。目前,習知的內燃機之冷卻降溫構造可概分為水冷式、氣冷式及油冷式等,其大多是附加在內燃機之外殼上,並通過相關管道對內燃機進行散熱,藉此達到冷卻降溫之目的。就水冷式的冷卻降溫構造而言,其通常具有一水泵模組附加在內燃機之外殼上,以驅動水液循環流動來進行熱交換。Nowadays, the internal combustion engine of the general-speed locomotive locomotive will inevitably increase the working temperature of the internal combustion engine during the combustion of gasoline. If the working temperature is too high, the volume expansion of the component will increase and the gap between the components will change. Small and oily viscosity is reduced, resulting in increased friction and loss between components, and higher temperatures due to friction, which ultimately causes the internal combustion engine to be damaged by overheating. Therefore, during the operation of the internal combustion engine, it is necessary to continuously dissipate the heat energy generated by it to ensure proper operation. At present, the conventional cooling and cooling structure of an internal combustion engine can be roughly classified into a water-cooled type, an air-cooled type, an oil-cooled type, etc., which are mostly attached to the outer casing of the internal combustion engine, and heat-dissipating the internal combustion engine through the relevant pipes, thereby achieving cooling and cooling. The purpose. In the case of a water-cooled cooling and cooling structure, it usually has a water pump module attached to the outer casing of the internal combustion engine to drive the water-liquid circulation flow for heat exchange.
舉例來說,請參照第1圖所示,中國公告第2727408號實用新型專利揭示一種摩托車發動機水泵,其包含泵體101、具進水通道102之泵蓋103、骨架油封104、二軸承105及106、出水通道107、位於泵腔108內與水泵軸109頂端連接的葉輪110、通過軸用擋圈111連接在水泵軸109上的齒輪112,其中泵體101密封裝配於曲軸箱蓋113內,泵蓋103密封裝配於曲軸箱蓋113上,泵腔108是由泵蓋103、泵體101、曲軸箱蓋113共同圍繞而成,與泵腔108相連通的出水通道107則設置於曲軸箱蓋113上,水泵軸109通過二軸承105及106與泵體101連接。泵蓋103、泵體101及曲軸箱蓋113之間利用數個密封圈115彼此密封。再者,一機械密封機構114是由套設於水泵軸109上的彈性密封膠套116、彈簧117、石墨環118、陶瓷環119及密封圈120所構成,其中彈簧117二端抵在彈性密封膠套116之上、下端緣內側,彈性密封膠套116之下端緣外側抵在泵體101的環台上,及上端緣外側抵在石墨環118上,使石墨環118可軸向移動的抵在陶瓷環119上,陶瓷環119藉由密封圈120結合在葉輪110的底部,並可與葉輪110同步轉動。因此,可確保葉輪110在轉動時,使葉輪110側的水液不會經由縫隙滲漏到發動機內部。For example, please refer to FIG. 1 , the utility model patent No. 2727408 discloses a motorcycle engine water pump, which comprises a pump body 101, a pump cover 103 with a water inlet passage 102, a skeleton oil seal 104, and two bearings 105. And a water outlet passage 107, an impeller 110 connected to the top end of the water pump shaft 109 in the pump chamber 108, and a gear 112 connected to the water pump shaft 109 through the shaft retaining ring 111, wherein the pump body 101 is sealingly fitted in the crankcase cover 113 The pump cover 103 is sealingly mounted on the crankcase cover 113. The pump chamber 108 is integrally surrounded by the pump cover 103, the pump body 101, and the crankcase cover 113. The water outlet passage 107 communicating with the pump chamber 108 is disposed in the crankcase. On the cover 113, the water pump shaft 109 is connected to the pump body 101 via the two bearings 105 and 106. The pump cover 103, the pump body 101, and the crankcase cover 113 are sealed to each other by a plurality of seal rings 115. Furthermore, a mechanical sealing mechanism 114 is composed of an elastic sealing rubber sleeve 116, a spring 117, a graphite ring 118, a ceramic ring 119 and a sealing ring 120 which are sleeved on the water pump shaft 109, wherein the spring 117 has two ends against the elastic seal. Above the rubber sleeve 116 and inside the lower end edge, the outer edge of the lower end edge of the elastic sealing rubber sleeve 116 abuts against the ring platform of the pump body 101, and the outer edge of the upper end edge abuts against the graphite ring 118, so that the graphite ring 118 can move axially. On the ceramic ring 119, the ceramic ring 119 is bonded to the bottom of the impeller 110 by a seal ring 120 and is rotatable in synchronism with the impeller 110. Therefore, it is ensured that the water of the impeller 110 side does not leak into the inside of the engine through the slit when the impeller 110 rotates.
雖然上述水泵因模組化設計而使組裝及維修較為便利,但水泵在實際使用上仍具有下述問題:由於水泵軸109的二軸承105及106皆設於齒輪112的同一側且皆靠泵體101支撐,因此僅能提供單側支撐效果。然而,齒輪112與發動機曲軸之齒輪(未繪示)連動所產生的施力難以藉由單側支撐來平衡,因此容易產生水泵軸109的失衡偏擺,造成齒輪112的轉動異音,以及在各密封處發生磨損而漏水。Although the above-mentioned water pump is convenient for assembly and maintenance due to the modular design, the water pump still has the following problems in practical use: since the two bearings 105 and 106 of the water pump shaft 109 are all disposed on the same side of the gear 112 and both are pumps The body 101 is supported so that only one side support effect can be provided. However, the force exerted by the gear 112 in conjunction with the gear (not shown) of the engine crankshaft is difficult to balance by the one-sided support, so that the unbalanced yaw of the water pump shaft 109 is easily generated, causing the rotation of the gear 112 to be abnormal, and Each seal is worn and leaks.
再者,請參照第2圖所示,中國公告第2709658號實用新型專利揭示一種摩托車水泵,其包含之構件大致相似於第2727408號實用新型專利,並沿用相似圖號,但其差異特徵在於水泵軸109之中段藉由軸承105與泵體101連接,而水泵軸109之內端則藉由另一軸承106與曲軸箱本體121連接。相較之下,第2709658號實用新型專利的二軸承105及106設於齒輪112的二側,因此能提供雙側支撐效果來改善轉動平衡,但水泵在實際使用上仍具有下述問題:水泵軸109之內端具有一階狀部122能用以抵接軸承106之內圈,以在組裝後將軸承106固定於曲軸箱本體121之孔內。然而,在組裝期間,軸承106僅能靠其外圈匹配嵌設於曲軸箱本體121之孔內,因此極易脫落掉出孔外,造成組裝或維修拆卸時的不便性。再者,由於水泵本身的零件之間以及水泵與曲軸箱本體121之間在組裝後皆不可避免的累積組裝公差,當組裝公差過大時,將導致水泵軸109內端之階狀部122表面與軸承106的內圈表面之間存在過大間隙,而無法相互抵接。結果,可能無法穩固定位軸承106,並造成正常運轉下因該軸承106鬆動而發生震動異音。或者,若組裝公差過小時,將迫使水泵軸109之階狀部122過度緊抵軸承106的內圈,造成軸承106卡死而無法轉動,或使水泵模組整體無法緊密的嵌設安裝在曲軸箱蓋113上。Furthermore, please refer to FIG. 2, the utility model patent No. 2709658 discloses a motorcycle water pump, which comprises a member similar to the utility model patent No. 2727408, and uses a similar figure number, but the difference is characterized by The middle portion of the water pump shaft 109 is connected to the pump body 101 by a bearing 105, and the inner end of the water pump shaft 109 is connected to the crankcase body 121 by another bearing 106. In contrast, the two bearings 105 and 106 of the utility model patent No. 2709658 are provided on the two sides of the gear 112, so that the double side support effect can be provided to improve the balance of rotation, but the water pump still has the following problems in practical use: the water pump The inner end of the shaft 109 has a stepped portion 122 that can abut the inner ring of the bearing 106 to secure the bearing 106 within the bore of the crankcase body 121 after assembly. However, during assembly, the bearing 106 can only be fitted into the hole of the crankcase body 121 by its outer ring, so that it can easily fall off the hole and cause inconvenience in assembly or maintenance disassembly. Moreover, due to the inevitable cumulative assembly tolerance between the components of the water pump itself and between the water pump and the crankcase body 121, when the assembly tolerance is too large, the surface of the stepped portion 122 of the inner end of the water pump shaft 109 will be There is an excessive gap between the inner ring surfaces of the bearing 106, and they cannot abut each other. As a result, the fixed position bearing 106 may not be stably fixed, and vibration abnormal noise may occur due to the looseness of the bearing 106 under normal operation. Alternatively, if the assembly tolerance is too small, the stepped portion 122 of the water pump shaft 109 is forced to excessively abut against the inner ring of the bearing 106, causing the bearing 106 to be stuck and unable to rotate, or the pump module as a whole cannot be tightly embedded and mounted on the crankshaft. On the lid 113.
