Optimum Shape Synthesis of Cam And Follower in Cam-Valve System to Minimize Contact Force

캠-밸브 기구에서 접촉력 최소화를 위한 캠과 종동자 형상 최적 합성

In this work, an optimum shape synthesis for rolling contact components was done to minimize contact forces considering dynamic characteristics of the system. Even this method was applied to an OHC type cam follower system, it can be expanded to general rolling contact shape design problems which are strictly forced to follow predetermined motion. First, the follower optimum angular motion was derived to minimize the valve peak acceleration while satisfying all the constraints of valve motion. Then the cam and follower contact shape were synthesized to give the proposed follower motion. Theoretically, two components shape to generate a predetermined motion can not be uniquely determined. So the cam shape was syntehsized with parametric synthesis method to minimize the peak contact force between cam and follower when the follower shape is assumed as a circle or an ellipse.

본 연구에서는 선회 종동자(oscillating follower)를 사용하는 캠 기구(대표 적인 기구중 하나인 자동차용 OHC 형 캠-밸브 기구)에 대해서 동역학적 특성을 고려하 여 종동자 형상과 캠 형상을 동시에 합성하고자 한다.
