Description
本発明は、内燃機関のシリンダブロックのシリンダボア壁の溝状冷却水流路側の壁面に接触させて配置される保温部材及びそれを備える内燃機関並びに該内燃機関を有する自動車に関する。 The present invention relates to a heat retaining member disposed in contact with a wall surface of a cylinder bore wall of a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine on the groove-like cooling water flow path side, an internal combustion engine provided with the same, and an automobile having the internal combustion engine.
内燃機関では、ボア内のピストンの上死点で燃料の爆発が起こり、その爆発によりピストンが押し下げられるという構造上、シリンダボア壁の上側は温度が高くなり、下側は温度が低くなる。そのため、シリンダボア壁の上側と下側では、熱変形量に違いが生じ、上側は大きく膨張し、一方、下側の膨張が小さくなる。 In the internal combustion engine, fuel explosion occurs at the top dead center of the piston in the bore, and the piston is pushed down by the explosion, so that the temperature is high on the upper side of the cylinder bore wall and the temperature is lower on the lower side. Therefore, there is a difference in the amount of thermal deformation between the upper side and the lower side of the cylinder bore wall, and the upper side expands greatly, while the lower side expansion decreases.
その結果、ピストンのシリンダボア壁との摩擦抵抗が大きくなり、これが、燃費を下げる要因となっているので、シリンダボア壁の上側と下側とで熱変形量の違いを少なくすることが求められている。 As a result, the frictional resistance with the cylinder bore wall of the piston increases, and this is a factor that lowers fuel consumption. Therefore, it is required to reduce the difference in thermal deformation between the upper side and the lower side of the cylinder bore wall. .
そこで、従来より、シリンダボア壁の壁温を均一にするために、溝状冷却水流路内にスペーサーを設置し、溝状冷却水流路内の冷却水の水流を調節して、冷却水によるシリンダボア壁の上側の冷却効率と及び下側の冷却効率を制御することが試みられてきた。例えば、特許文献1には、内燃機関のシリンダブロックに形成された溝状冷却用熱媒体流路内に配置されることで溝状冷却用熱媒体流路内を複数の流路に区画する流路区画部材であって、前記溝状冷却用熱媒体流路の深さに満たない高さに形成され、前記溝状冷却用熱媒体流路内をボア側流路と反ボア側流路とに分割する壁部となる流路分割部材と、前記流路分割部材から前記溝状冷却用熱媒体流路の開口部方向に向けて形成され、かつ先端縁部が前記溝状冷却用熱媒体流路の一方の内面を越えた形に可撓性材料で形成されていることにより、前記溝状冷却用熱媒体流路内への挿入完了後は自身の撓み復元力により前記先端縁部が前記内面に対して前記溝状冷却用熱媒体流路の深さ方向の中間位置にて接触することで前記ボア側流路と前記反ボア側流路とを分離する可撓性リップ部材と、を備えたことを特徴とする内燃機関冷却用熱媒体流路区画部材が開示されている。 Therefore, conventionally, in order to make the wall temperature of the cylinder bore wall uniform, a spacer is installed in the grooved cooling water flow path, and the flow of the cooling water in the grooved cooling water flow path is adjusted so that the cylinder bore wall caused by the cooling water Attempts have been made to control the cooling efficiency on the upper side and the cooling efficiency on the lower side. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a flow that divides a groove-shaped cooling heat medium flow path into a plurality of flow paths by being disposed in a groove-shaped cooling heat medium flow path formed in a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine. A channel partition member formed at a height less than a depth of the groove-shaped cooling heat medium flow path, and a bore-side flow path and an anti-bore-side flow path in the groove-shaped cooling heat medium flow path A flow path dividing member serving as a wall portion that is divided into a groove portion, a groove portion that is formed from the flow path dividing member toward the opening of the groove-shaped cooling heat medium flow channel, and a leading edge is the groove-shaped cooling heat medium. By being formed of a flexible material so as to extend beyond one inner surface of the flow path, the end edge portion is caused by its own bending restoring force after completion of insertion into the grooved cooling heat medium flow path. By contacting the inner surface at the intermediate position in the depth direction of the grooved cooling heat medium flow path, A flexible lip member that separates the A-side passage, the internal combustion engine cooling heat medium flow passage partition member comprising the disclosed.
ところが、引用文献1の内燃機関冷却用熱媒体流路区画部材によれば、ある程度のシリンダボア壁の壁温の均一化が図れるので、シリンダボア壁の上側と下側との熱変形量の違いを少なくすることができるものの、近年、更に、シリンダボア壁の上側と下側とで熱変形量の違いを少なくすることが求められている。 However, according to the heat medium flow path partition member for cooling the internal combustion engine of the cited document 1, the wall temperature of the cylinder bore wall can be made uniform to some extent, so that the difference in the amount of thermal deformation between the upper side and the lower side of the cylinder bore wall is reduced. In recent years, however, it has been demanded to further reduce the difference in thermal deformation between the upper side and the lower side of the cylinder bore wall.
従って、本発明の課題は、シリンダボア壁の壁温の均一性が高い内燃機関を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an internal combustion engine in which the wall temperature of the cylinder bore wall is highly uniform.
本発明者らは、上記従来技術における課題を解決すべく、鋭意研究を重ねた結果、シリンダボア壁を保温するための保温部材を、溝状冷却水流路側のシリンダボア壁に接触するように設置して、冷却水がシリンダボア壁に直接接触するのを防止することにより、シリ

本発明の内燃機関では、本発明のシリンダボア壁の保温部材により、シリンダボア壁の周方向の全部が覆われていてもよいが、本発明のシリンダボア壁の保温部材を設置するときの作業性、熱膨張率による変形、費用対効果、設置部位より下流側での冷却水流れの淀みによる保温効果等を考慮して、図6に示すように、シリンダボア壁の周方向の一部に、本発明のシリンダボア壁の保温部材に覆われていない部分があってもよい。なお、図6では、黒く塗りつぶした部分が、保温部材1の設置位置を示す。また、シリンダボア壁の周方向23とは、図7に示すように、シリンダボア壁13の外周を囲む方向であり、シリンダボア壁13を横から見たときのシリンダボア壁13の左右方向である。図7中、(7−1)はシリンダボア壁13のみを示す平面図であり、(7−2)はシリンダボア壁13のみを示す正面図である。 In the internal combustion engine of the present invention, the cylinder bore wall heat retaining member of the present invention may cover the entire circumferential direction of the cylinder bore wall. However, workability and heat when installing the cylinder bore wall heat retaining member of the present invention may be covered. Considering deformation due to expansion rate, cost-effectiveness, heat retention effect due to stagnation of cooling water flow downstream from the installation site, etc., as shown in FIG. There may be a portion of the cylinder bore wall that is not covered by the heat retaining member. In FIG. 6, black portions indicate the installation positions of the heat retaining member 1. Moreover, the circumferential direction 23 of the cylinder bore wall is a direction surrounding the outer circumference of the cylinder bore wall 13 as shown in FIG. 7, and is a left-right direction of the cylinder bore wall 13 when the cylinder bore wall 13 is viewed from the side. In FIG. 7, (7-1) is a plan view showing only the cylinder bore wall 13, and (7-2) is a front view showing only the cylinder bore wall 13.
本発明の内燃機関において、シリンダボア壁の上下方向において、本発明のシリンダボア壁の保温部材の設置位置は、シリンダボア壁の保温部材の上下方向の上端の位置が、溝状冷却水流路の上端を基準として、溝状冷却水流路側の上端から下端までの長さの1/3の長さ分下側の位置より下側である。なお、溝状冷却水流路の上端を基準として、溝状冷却水流路の上端から下端までの長さの1/3の長さ分下側の位置とは、図2中、溝状冷却水流路の上端131から下端132までの長さの1/3の長さ分だけ、溝状冷却水流路の
上端131より下側に下がった位置を指す。なお、シリンダボア壁の保温部材の上下方向の下端の位置は、溝状冷却水流路の下端132と一致していることが好ましいが、シリンダボア壁の保温部材の作製上の都合や、溝状冷却水流路の形状等により、シリンダボア壁の保温部材の上下方向の下端の位置が、溝状冷却水流路の下端132より上であってもよい。本発明の効果を損なわない程度であれば、シリンダボア壁の保温部材の上下方向の下端の位置が、溝状冷却水流路の下端132より上にあってもよい。
In the internal combustion engine of the present invention, in the vertical direction of the cylinder bore wall, the installation position of the heat retaining member of the cylinder bore wall of the present invention is such that the position of the upper end in the vertical direction of the heat retaining member of the cylinder bore wall is based on the upper end of the grooved coolant flow path. As below, it is lower than the position of the lower side by 1/3 of the length from the upper end to the lower end on the grooved coolant flow channel side. Note that the position on the lower side by 1/3 of the length from the upper end to the lower end of the groove-shaped cooling water flow channel with reference to the upper end of the groove-shaped cooling water flow channel is the groove-shaped cooling water flow channel in FIG. The position which fell below the upper end 131 of the groove-shaped cooling water flow path by the length of 1/3 of the length from the upper end 131 to the lower end 132 of the groove. Note that the position of the lower end in the vertical direction of the heat retaining member on the cylinder bore wall is preferably coincident with the lower end 132 of the grooved cooling water flow path. The position of the lower end in the vertical direction of the heat retaining member on the cylinder bore wall may be higher than the lower end 132 of the groove-shaped cooling water flow path depending on the shape of the path. As long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired, the position of the lower end in the vertical direction of the heat retaining member of the cylinder bore wall may be above the lower end 132 of the grooved coolant flow path.
従来の内燃機関では、シリンダボア壁の下側部分は、燃料が爆発する上側部分に比べ、温度が低いため、冷却水により冷却され易い。そのため、シリンダボア壁の上側部分と下側部分とでは、温度差が大きくなる。 In the conventional internal combustion engine, the lower part of the cylinder bore wall has a lower temperature than the upper part where the fuel explodes, and is thus easily cooled by the cooling water. Therefore, a temperature difference becomes large between the upper part and the lower part of the cylinder bore wall.
それに対して、本発明のシリンダボア壁の保温部材が設置されている内燃機関では、冷却水がシリンダボア壁に直接接触することが防がれるので、シリンダボア壁の下側部分の温度が、上側部分に比べ、低くなり過ぎるのを防ぐことができる。 On the other hand, in the internal combustion engine in which the heat retaining member for the cylinder bore wall according to the present invention is installed, the cooling water is prevented from coming into direct contact with the cylinder bore wall, so that the temperature of the lower portion of the cylinder bore wall is at the upper portion. In comparison, it can be prevented from becoming too low.
次に、実施例を挙げて本発明を更に具体的に説明するが、これは単に例示であって、本発明を制限するものではない。 EXAMPLES Next, although an Example is given and this invention is demonstrated more concretely, this is only an illustration and does not restrict | limit this invention.
