What is CVVL technology and its principle?
1 Answers
CVVL stands for Continuous Variable Valve Lift technology, which is considered a high-precision and cutting-edge technology in the industry. CVVL technology offers numerous practical benefits to consumers, with the primary advantage being reduced fuel consumption. Below is the principle of variable valve lift technology: 1. In traditional engines, the valve lift of conventional valve train mechanisms is fixed, whereas the operating conditions of the engine require different valve lifts. High-speed, high-load conditions demand a large valve lift and long duration, while low-speed, low-load conditions require a small valve lift and short duration. However, traditional valve train mechanisms can only optimize the engine for a specific operating condition and cannot meet all conditions. CVVL technology can adjust the valve lift, enabling the engine to meet the required valve lift in both high-speed and low-speed ranges, thereby improving high-speed power and low-speed torque. 2. The CVVL mechanism controls the lift via an eccentric shaft, an adjusting arm, and a connecting arm. First, the CVVL controller precisely controls the CVVL motor through a program. The CVVL motor drives the eccentric shaft to rotate via a worm gear and worm mechanism. When the eccentric shaft rotates clockwise, the adjusting arm pushes the intermediate rocker arm to move leftward, reducing the lift. Conversely, when the eccentric shaft rotates counterclockwise, the adjusting arm pushes the intermediate rocker arm to move rightward, increasing the lift.
