13、 design of the cam follower is also of great importance and bears a definite relation to the shape of the cam itself. This is because the cam cannot make contact with the follower at a single fixed point. Surface contact

28、 the least efficient in producing adequate valve opening, or mean lift area, but owing to the use of a flat based tappet, its lift characteristics are not very different from those of a tangent cam with round-based tappe

46、而有效的凸輪</p><p>　　凸輪是被應(yīng)用的最廣泛的機械結(jié)構(gòu)之一。凸輪是一種僅僅有兩個組件構(gòu)成的設(shè)備。主動件本身就是凸輪，而輸出件被稱為從動件。通過使用凸輪，一個簡單的輸入動作可以被修改成幾乎可以想像得到的任何輸出運動。常見的一些關(guān)于凸輪應(yīng)用的例子有：</p><p>　　——凸輪軸和汽車發(fā)動機工程的裝配</p><p><b>　　——專用機床<

48、>　　高速凸輪(凸輪超過1000 rpm的速度)的輪廓必須從數(shù)學(xué)意義上來定義。無論如何，大多數(shù)凸輪以低速(少于500 rpm)運行而中速的凸輪可以通過一個大比例的圖形表示出來。一般說來，凸輪的速度和輸出負(fù)載越大，凸輪的輪廓在被床上被加工時就一定要更加精密。</p><p>　　在多種機械裝置的操作中凸輪在某種形式下是必不可少。他們最有名的應(yīng)用是在內(nèi)燃機閥門操作裝置中，但在工業(yè)機器中，從印刷機到收割機械，凸輪

49、機構(gòu)也是一個相當(dāng)重要的一部分。</p><p>　　一般來說，一個凸輪可以被定義為一個圓盤面或一個為產(chǎn)生接觸間歇往復(fù)運動的零件或從動件。大多數(shù)凸輪的運動是旋轉(zhuǎn)運動，但這不是一個必要條件，在特殊情況下，它的運動是半旋轉(zhuǎn)，振動或擺動。即使原動件可能是直線運動，但在某種情況下凸輪也可能會適當(dāng)?shù)乇豢紤]，。</p><p>　　在機構(gòu)學(xué)大多數(shù)文本書籍中給了關(guān)于凸輪設(shè)計和凸輪類型的實例設(shè)計的一些信息，

50、產(chǎn)生各種規(guī)定的運動。在某種情況運行速度和機械的性能不是非常高，有一個規(guī)律是凸輪機構(gòu)設(shè)計很好的協(xié)議，只需要避免過于陡峭的輪廓或從動件產(chǎn)生噪聲，影響沖擊，并側(cè)壓力的突然改變。</p><p>　　然而，凸輪速度或負(fù)荷增加或具有更嚴(yán)格的要求，尋求更精細(xì)的設(shè)計，并以極高的速度，在慣性運動部件上的作用最明顯，因此，對舉升的加速度和速度因素都必須考慮，這些很少在任何詳細(xì)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)教科書中得到處理。</p><

51、p>　　凸輪從動件的設(shè)計也是非常重要的，并且關(guān)系到凸輪自身的形狀。這是因為凸輪與從動件不能在一個固定點上接觸。表面接觸需要分配負(fù)荷，避免過度磨損，凸輪傳送運動通過從動件各點位置，這都取決于兩個互補零部件形狀。目前凸輪在發(fā)動機氣門設(shè)計的問題上特別困難。在賽車引擎中，無論是負(fù)載還是速度都可能會被視為極端，因為在很多發(fā)動機中引擎的閥門上這些限制因素得不到有效控制。在某些方面，微型發(fā)動機凸輪的設(shè)計的簡化是由于他們的打火工作部件（以及隨之而

52、來的慣量）的原因，但在另一方面，工作通常具有更大的摩擦和旋轉(zhuǎn)速度，一般都大大高于全尺寸的做法更高。</p><p>　　對于小型四沖程發(fā)動機的許多設(shè)計已經(jīng)出版，我力求簡化操作閥門，并為凸輪可以簡單而準(zhǔn)確地運用在業(yè)余設(shè)計制作車間的設(shè)施。許多發(fā)動機的設(shè)計已提交，讀者對設(shè)計中包含有錯誤的閥門裝置，特別是凸輪和這些項目上的基本原則有普遍的誤解，我給一些對此事的意見，而我的信任將有助于個別設(shè)計人員獲得其發(fā)動機的最佳效果。

58、復(fù)制過程中形成的準(zhǔn)確數(shù)量從主凸輪。在這頂帽子的挺桿可以使用的事實也有利于批量生產(chǎn)，他們可以設(shè)計相當(dāng)默默工作。該側(cè)面輪廓可以繪制，使在凸輪加速度變化是避免突變，更重要的是，推桿將不能出現(xiàn)任何反彈或漂浮，在相當(dāng)高的速度出現(xiàn)回復(fù)運動。在這種情況下，可能有必要引入一個小規(guī)模的復(fù)合曲線，但凸輪與兩翼圓弧會作出合理有效的結(jié)合，并且在任何規(guī)模很容易的產(chǎn)生凹陷。兩側(cè)凸輪的例子現(xiàn)在是比較少看到的，雖然他們已經(jīng)在過去廣泛地使用，獲取最快速的開啟和關(guān)閉的閥門

64、從而產(chǎn)生大量的挺桿側(cè)向推力，在高轉(zhuǎn)速時，使控制更加困難。 </p><p>　　然而幾乎沒有考慮，同樣的結(jié)果表明，這種方法是可以實現(xiàn)的，出現(xiàn)很少的機械問題，解除閥也更容易效率也更高，如B所示。這避免了推桿突然加速和減速，并促進(jìn)流動閥門的工作效率。兩個凸輪的陰影部分顯示了葉面積的差異，顯示出真正的高效性。只有在不進(jìn)行額外的控制時，氣門的高效升程是非常理想的，閥門的最大開口區(qū)，等于閥座直徑的四分之一，但是由于對閥頭莫
