PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the size of a motor while securing sufficient torque to rotate a control shaft. SOLUTION: The motor 14 is connected to the control shaft 12 of a variable valve train 10 via a speed reduction mechanism 18. The motor 14 controls lift amount of a valve in accordance with the rotating angle of the control shaft 12. A ratio (R1/R2) between gear diameters R1, R2 of a worm gear 20 and a worm wheel 22 in an engagement position P is formed to become smaller as the control shaft 12 is rotated to a lift increasing direction B. Thus, for example, even in the state where output torque of the motor 14 is constant, in a large operation region from small lift amount to large lift amount, the appropriate magnitude of rotating torque corresponding to valve reaction force can be applied to the control shaft 12. Therefore, since this eliminates the necessity of determining the specifications of the motor 14 in accordance with requirements on the large lift amount side, the motor with small output can be adopted.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure of a cylinder head gasket capable of improving the cooling effect of a cylinder block, reducing the weight and cost of the cylinder block, and shortening the manufacturing time. SOLUTION: A water jacket separating part 30 provided at a cylinder head gasket 1 is provided to be recessed in the shape of a groove around cylinder bores 38 and a sealing member 34 is provided along the peripheral part of the water jacket separating part 30. When the cylinder head gasket 1 is placed on a cylinder block, the water jacket separating part 30 divides a water jacket of the cylinder block into two parts on the upper and lower sides and the sealing member 34 seals the parts between the bores of the cylinder block and the water jacket separating part 30. Further, the cylinder head gasket 1 has air vents and openings 36 for the passage of cooling water in the neighborhood of the areas between the bores 32.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress occurrence of knocking by forming an EGR gas layer over the whole circumference of the peripheral part of a combustion chamber. SOLUTION: Communicating passages 18, 19, 20, 21 are arranged in this intake/exhaust device so that intake ports 6, 7, 8, 9 of air cylinders 2, 3, 4, 5 in an intake stroke and exhaust ports 13, 12, 11, 10 of air cylinders 5, 4, 3, 2 in an exhaust stroke are communicated with each other, thereby exhaust having high exhaust pressure of the air cylinder in the exhaust stroke is supplied as EGR gas to the air cylinder in the intake stroke. The negative pressure of the intake port is large at the time of a light load and blow down pressure is large at the time of a high load, therefore differential pressure between the intake port of a predetermined air cylinder and the exhaust port of the air cylinder corresponding to the predetermined air cylinder is always large. Therefore, EGR gas pressure can be sufficiently increased, and sufficiently strong intercylinder swirl can be produced in the combustion chamber of the air cylinder in the intake stroke.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce longitudinal dimension of an engine with an auxiliary chamber of a combustion chamber disposed in between cylinders. CONSTITUTION:An auxiliary chambers 10 is disposed in between cylinders. To reduce the distance between cylinders, part of the auxiliary chamber 10 overlaps on an upper portion of a main combustion chamber 1 of an adjoining cylinder. In a lower portion of a portion of the auxiliary chamber 10, overlapping on the upper portion of the main combustion chamber 1 of the adjoining cylinder, a seal wall 30 is formed, connecting together the outer peripheral wall of the main combustion chamber and a cylinder head 3 integrally. The seal wall 30 thus covers up the portion of the auxiliary chamber 10, overlapping on the upper portion of the main combustion chamber 1 of the adjoining cylinder.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To allow cooling of an exhaust valve sheet ring part sufficiently even if forming a plenty of bolt holes for fixation. CONSTITUTION:A main jacket 10 is provided between an intake port 4 and an exhaust port 6, an intake side sub jacket 12 is provided under the intake port 4, and an exhaust side sub jacket 14 which is narrower than the main jacket 10 is provided under the exhaust port 6. An exhaust side sub supply path 15 for introducing cooling water of a cylinder block is so formed as to open to the exhaust side sub jacket 14. A communicating path 16 which communicates the exhaust side sub jacket 14 with the main jacket 10 is formed in a bolt boss part 9A located adjacent to an exhaust valve sheet ring 7. Though the exhaust sub jacket 14 has a complicated and intricate shape, cooling water in the exhaust side sub jacket 14 flows smoothly to the main jacket 10 via the communicating path 16 without any stagnation near the exhaust valve sheet ring 7.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make both dimension and shape of an air supply valve and an exhaust valve substantially the same by closing an opening between a valve seat and the peripheral part on the exhaust valve side of the air supply valve for the entire period of valve-opening of the air supply valve. CONSTITUTION:A peripheral wall 8 of a recessed groove 5a, which connects inwall parts 3b and 3c of a cylinder head, consists of a pair of mask-walls 8a, which are situated very near to the peripheral part of an air supply valve 6 and moreover extend in an arced shape along the peripheral part of the air supply valve 6, and a fresh-air guide wall 8b, which is situated around an air supply valve 6. At this time, the mask- wall 8a extends toward a combustion chamber 4 beyond the maximum outer diameter part of the air supply valve 6, which is situated at the maximum left position of the valve 6. Accordingly, an opening between a valve seat 9 and the peripheral part on an exhaust valve (7) side of the air supply valve 6, is closed by the mask-wall 8a for the entire period of valve-opening of the air supply valve 6. With this contrivance, since the value-diameter of the exhaust valve 7 can be made larger, both dimension and shape of the air supply valve 6 and the exhaust valve 7 can substantially be made the same. As a result, the maximum number of revolutions of an engine can be increased.
