Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate and simplify a lubricating oil supply structure to a valve system for governing opening-closing of a supply-exhaust valve of an engine. SOLUTION: This engine 10 is provided by installing a baffle plate 30 in a cylinder head cover 26, by covering the valve system 16 of an upper part of a cylinder head 14 with the cylinder head cover 26. The baffle plate 30 partitions the inside of the cylinder head cover 26 into a cam side area 27 on the side of the valve system 16 and an anti-cam side area 28 on the cover reverse surface side, and has lubricating oil supply passages 41 to 48 as a projection strip on the side of the cam side area 27. These respective lubricating oil supply passages are formed by applying press working of a projecting shape to a second plate 32 on the side of the valve system 16 among a plate-like first plate 31 and the second plate 32 for constituting the baffle plate 30, to feed lubricating oil to the valve system 16 from an oil feeding port of the passage tip.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology in which a pressure ratio is reduced without increasing a size of an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: This internal combustion engine 1 comprises: a cylinder head 1a; a piston 7; a cylinder 8; an intake valve 4; an exhaust valve 5; and a combustion chamber 7a. In the internal combustion engine 1, the intake valve 4 and/or the exhaust valve 5 are provided with a shade part 41 having a bottom surface 43 opposite to the piston 7, and a shaft part 42. A hollow part 44 is formed inside the intake valve 4 and/or the exhaust valve 5, and an opening part 45 which makes the combustion chamber 7a and the hollow part 44 communicate with each other is formed to a part of the bottom surface 43 of the shade part.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent overheating of an oil passage and a head bolt insertion hole boss part. SOLUTION: A partition wall 8 partitioning exhaust ports 5 of neighboring cylinders #2, #3 extends to an exhaust manifold part 6 from between the neighboring cylinders #2, #3, and a head bolt insertion hole 11c is formed in the partition wall 8 in a cylinder head. A heat insulation layer 22 is formed in the partition wall 8 between a tip part 8a of the partition wall 8 facing the exhaust manifold part 6 and the head bolt insertion hole 11c. An oil passage 23 is formed at a center part of the heat insulation layer 22. The heat insulation layer 22 is extended in a circular arc manner about an axial line of the head bolt insertion hole 11c along substantially a half of an outer periphery of the head bolt insertion hole boss part 17 on a partition wall tip part 8a side.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress mutual interferences between exhaust gases exhausted from each of cylinders. SOLUTION: An internal combustion engine is equipped with at least four cylinders #1 to #4 and exhaust ports 6 to 9, 18 to 21 connected to respective the cylinders. In the internal combustion engine, the #1, #4 cylinders and #2, #3 cylinders are combined, respectively not to cause the mutual interferences between the exhaust gas exhausted from each of the cylinders and the exhaust gas exhausted from the other cylinders. Therefore, each of exhaust ports is joined in a cylinder head 1 to act as one interfluent exhaust ports 10, 11, 22, 23, each of which opens to a sidewall surface of the cylinder head.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an insulator and an internal combustion engine attaining at least one of improving heat insulation performance and sound insulation performance and absorbing a part of energy generated on vehicle collision. SOLUTION: The insulator 10 is attached to an exhaust manifold 3 of an internal combustion engine 2 mounted on a vehicle 1 for the purpose of heat insulation and sound insulation. The insulator 10 is manufactured from foamed aluminum and has minute spaces dispersed inside. A density of the insulator 10 at least on a front L side of the vehicle 1 is higher than density of other portions. This improves the heat shield performance and the sound insulation performance.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil jetting pump for an internal combustion engine, using oil jet for sufficiently cooling a piston by increasing the flow rate of oil without heightening the capacity of an existing oil pump. SOLUTION: The oil jetting pump for the internal combustion engine sucks oil from a main oil hole of the internal combustion engine having the piston to be cooled by oil jet and forcibly feeds the sucked oil to an oil jetting oil hole. It comprises a counter weight 40 for a crankshaft having an outer periphery face set into a cam shape, a plunger 22 to be reciprocated with a roller at one end for slide contact with the counter weight, and a thermo-waxed slider 24 provided in the plunger for closing a top portion of the plunger to allow the forcible feed of the oil when the oil has a certain temperature or higher.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain a positive start of an internal combustion engine by connecting a crankshaft, a motor-generator shaft, and an oil-pump shaft by a single chain in a simple structure, in which lubrication is done perfectly, and oscillation and noise are reduced. SOLUTION: The crankshaft 14, the motor-generator shaft 32, and an oil-pump shaft 24 for the internal combustion engine are extended separately parallel with each other. Sprockets 40, 34, and 28, which are fixed respectively to the crankshaft 14, the motor-generator shaft 32 and an oil-pump shaft 24 are connected and driven by a single chain 20. The sprocket 28 on the oil-pump shaft, at the time when the internal combustion engine 10 is operated, engages with the drive-side region of the chain 20 between the sprocket 40 on the crankshaft and a sprocket 34 on the motor-generator shaft. The external edges of the sprocket 34 and the sprocket 28 are dipped in lubricating oil stored in an oil pan 70. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately measure a relative position in a short time by using image recognition. SOLUTION: A plurality of markers 1a-1e arranged in an axial direction at the rear part of a preceding vehicle 1 are photographed by an image pickup means 2a and a frame image 2b is obtained. A marker pattern 2d is extracted from the frame image 2b by an extraction means 2c. Then, by a calculation means 2e, on the basis of the marker pattern 2d, a relative distance and a relative angle to the preceding vehicle are calculated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connecting rod capable of withstanding a specified load and reduced in weight. SOLUTION: This connecting rod comprises a piston side end part connected to a piston and crankshaft side end part provided with a crankshaft storage opening for storing a crankshaft. Two connecting rod portions divided at a crankshaft side end part along a plane inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the connecting rod are connected to each other on both sides of the crankshaft storage opening along the plane. The strength of a tightening part away from a piston side end part is reduced less than that of the tightening part near the piston side end part.
