Abstract:
A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine has inlet and outlet valves for the charge cycle control in a combustion space of the cylinder head, which inlet and outlet valves are actuated by at least one camshaft. For providing a cylinder head system having the inlet valves and the outlet valves which is suitable for different internal-combustion engines with a manifold injection or a direct injection, the head system has constructional characteristics which are suitable for a first cylinder head variant with a manifold injection as well as for a second cylinder head variant with a direct injection. The second cylinder head variant is provided with injection nozzles installed from a longitudinal side which extend at an acute angle with respect to a plane extending between the second cylinder head variant and a cylinder housing when assembled on a cylinder housing.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine includes a level plate that is arranged between a cylinder head and a cylinder, is adjacent to a combustion chamber and is provided with at least one opening for at least one inlet valve and/or one outlet valve and/or at least one injection equipment or the like, the plate bordering on a level cylinder head bottom. In order to reduce the introduction of heat into the cylinder head in the easiest possible way, the diameter of the opening is larger than the valve seat for the inlet valve and/or for the outlet valve and the valve seat for the inlet valve and/or for the outlet valve is formed by the cylinder head or by a valve seat ring that is solidly connected thereto.
Abstract:
A cylinder head for a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine includes, for each cylinder, an inlet valve, an exhaust valve, a first receptacle, a second receptacle, and a third receptacle. The first, second, and third receptacles are respectively configured to receive an ignition device or an injection device. The first receptacle extends substantially parallel to the inlet valve. The second receptacle extends substantially parallel to the exhaust valve. A common camshaft is offset from a cylinder center plane and actuates the inlet valve and the exhaust valve via identically constructed valve actuating elements. The cylinder head is lightweight, compact and easy to assemble and is in particular suited for high performance engines.
Abstract:
In a conventional internal combustion engine the cylinder wall constrains the connecting rod to a straight up and down motion. The wall of a valve-guide also constrains the valve movement to a straight up and down motion. In ACOFE, two staggered bellows constrain the connecting rod to a semi-straight up and down motion, and therefore eliminate the need for the cylinder. Two other smaller bellows constrain a valve to a semi-straight up and down motion, and therefore eliminate the need for the valve-guide.
Abstract:
A cylinder head of a spark-ignition engine is divided into an upper cylinder head portion and a lower cylinder head portion by means of a division wall portion. An upper spark-plug hole is formed in the upper cylinder head portion, whereas a lower spark-plug hole is formed in the lower cylinder head portion. The relative position of lower spark-plug hole is based on the position of the spark plug screwed into a tapped hole formed in the lower cylinder head portion. The relative position of the upper spark-plug hole is based on engine parts mounted in the upper cylinder head. The axis of the upper spark-plug hole is thus designed to be offset from the axis of the lower spark-plug hole. Each of the upper and lower spark-plug holes has a tapered hollow portion in close vicinity to the division wall portion. Alternatively, the lower spark-plug hole is diametrically enlarged in comparison with the upper spark-plug hole, so that the lower spark-plug hole surrounds the entire circumference of the upper spark-plug hole.
Abstract:
In a cylinder head 1 of an internal combustion engine, communicating passageways 17, 18, 17′, 18′ for coolant are provided between combustion chambers 3 and pass-through holes 21 to 28 at positions which overlap straight lines L1, L2 connecting centers C2, C3 of the exhaust port openings 6a, 7a with centers C5 to C8 of the pass-through holes 25 to 28 and straight lines L3, L4 connecting centers C9, C10 of the intake port openings 4a, 5a with centers C11 to c14 of the pass-through holes 21 to 24 when a mating surface 2 of the cylinder head 1 with the cylinder block is viewed from the bottom. When peripheries of the exhaust port openings 6a, 7a and intake port openings 4a, 5a thermally expand, the suppression of thermal expansion by the bolts at fastening portions is alleviated by the communicating passageways 17, 18, 17′, 18′.
Abstract:
An arrangement is provided for supporting a rocker shaft in an engine so as to allow installation of the rocker shaft without incurring high costs, and, thereby, using a simple arrangement. An engine is equipped with valve-moving devices such as a cam shaft 21 inside a cylinder head 8, intake and exhaust valves, intake and exhaust cams 24 and 25, intake and exhaust rocker arms, a rocker shaft 28 which supports these rocker arms with freedom to rotate, and the like, and wherein bearing bosses 31a to 31d for supporting the cam shaft 21 are formed inside the cylinder head 8, flat seats 50 are formed on the bearing bosses 31a to 31d, and flat seats 51 are formed on the rocker shaft 28, and the rocker shaft 28 is fitted on the bearing bosses 31a to 31d with the two eats 50 and 51 matched against each other.
Abstract:
A cylinder head of an internal combustion engine is disclosed with an upwardly open spark plug tube (1), a connection thread (6) present on the end of the spark plug tube for screwing the spark plug into the cylinder head (3) and with a sleeve (2), which is inserted into the spark plug tube and accommodates the spark plug. The spark plug tube is provided with an increased diameter (D) cut through at right angles to a longitudinal direction thereof. A process for manufacturing such a cylinder head is described, in which the internal diameter (d) of the spark plug tube (1) is first increased to a diameter (D) that is larger than the external diameter of the sleeve (2) by a material-removing process, the spark plug tube (1) is subsequently cut through at right angles to its longitudinal direction, and the sleeve (2), wetted with the permanently elastic sealant, is finally inserted into the spark plug tube (1) and is adjusted therein.
Abstract:
A multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes an intake manifold having branch pipes connected to one side of a cylinder head and curved to allow the intake manifold to extend to directly above a cylinder-head cover, and intake-side spark plugs and fuel injectors which are incorporated in the cylinder head. The spark plugs are disposed outside a valve train chamber on a side of the valve train chamber where curved portions of the branch pipes are disposed, and the fuel injectors and ignition coils provided above the spark plugs are disposed between the valve train chamber and the curved portions in a direction normal to axes of the cylinders as viewed from a direction in which cylinders are arranged. The ignition coils are disposed so as not to overlap the branch pipes as viewed from a direction in which the ignition coils are attached to the cylinder head.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a longitudinal cylinder head (1) for mounting on, for example, a diesel engine having cavities (18) for injection units (2) and supply means for liquid fuel. The invention is characterized by only one longitudinal fuel passage (17) for supply of fuel to all injection units (2).
