図２，図４〜図６を参照すると、シリンダヘッド３に設けられる動弁装置20には、前記オイルポンプから吐出された潤滑油が、挿通孔10ａを利用して形成された油路61を流通し、油路61の一部の潤滑油がヘッドカバー４に形成された油路62（図２参照）に導かれて、油路62の噴口62ａから動弁室21内に噴出すると共に、油路61の残りの潤滑油がロッカ軸23内の油路63（図２参照）から吸気ロッカアーム25との摺動部を通って動弁室21内に噴出して、動弁装置20などの動弁室21内の潤滑部位に供給される。該潤滑部位を潤滑した後の潤滑油は、動弁室21からシリンダヘッド３の下側周壁３ｂおよびシリンダ１の下側周壁１ｂを貫通してクランク室９に開放する貫通孔からなる戻り油路64（図４も参照）を流下してクランク室９に流入し、前記オイル貯留部に戻る。   Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4 to 6, in the valve operating device 20 provided in the cylinder head 3, the lubricating oil discharged from the oil pump has an oil passage 61 formed by using the insertion hole 10 a. A portion of the lubricating oil in the oil passage 61 is introduced into the oil passage 62 (see FIG. 2) formed in the head cover 4 and ejected from the nozzle 62a of the oil passage 62 into the valve chamber 21. The remaining lubricating oil in the passage 61 is ejected from the oil passage 63 (see FIG. 2) in the rocker shaft 23 through the sliding portion with the intake rocker arm 25 and into the valve chamber 21, It is supplied to the lubrication part in the valve chamber 21. The lubrication oil after lubricating the lubrication part passes through the valve chamber 21 through the lower peripheral wall 3b of the cylinder head 3 and the lower peripheral wall 1b of the cylinder 1 and returns to the crank chamber 9 to return oil passages. 64 (see also FIG. 4) flows down into the crank chamber 9 and returns to the oil reservoir.

図１〜図６を参照すると、内燃機関Ｅは、機関状態を検出するセンサとして、シリンダヘッド３に取り付けられて機関状態としての排気ガスの性状を排気ポート14において検出する排気ガスセンサ、例えば排気ガス中の酸素濃度を検出する酸素濃度センサ70と、機関状態としての機関温度を検出する温度センサとして、潤滑油の温度を検出する油温センサ75とを備える。   1 to 6, an internal combustion engine E is an exhaust gas sensor, for example, an exhaust gas, which is attached to the cylinder head 3 and detects the property of exhaust gas as an engine state at an exhaust port 14 as a sensor for detecting the engine state. And an oil temperature sensor 75 for detecting the temperature of the lubricating oil as a temperature sensor for detecting the engine temperature as the engine state.

酸素濃度センサ70は、シリンダヘッド３において排気ポート14の出口14ａ付近の下側周壁３ｂに取り付けられる。ほぼ柱状で軸方向にほぼ平行に配置される酸素濃度センサ70は、シリンダヘッド３にねじ込まれて取り付けられるネジ部からなる取付部70ａと、シリンダヘッド３の内部に位置して排気ポート14内に臨む検出部70ｂと、検出信号を制御装置に伝達する電線71が接続される接続部70ｃとを有する。電線71の先端に設けられた接続部としてのカプラー72が接続される接続部70ｃは、シュラウド45より覆われた状態で、シリンダ１から露出して通風路46に配置される。   The oxygen concentration sensor 70 is attached to the lower peripheral wall 3 b near the outlet 14 a of the exhaust port 14 in the cylinder head 3. The oxygen concentration sensor 70, which is substantially columnar and arranged substantially parallel to the axial direction, has a mounting portion 70a composed of a screw portion that is screwed into the cylinder head 3 and is mounted inside the cylinder head 3 and is located in the exhaust port 14. And a connecting portion 70c to which an electric wire 71 for transmitting a detection signal to the control device is connected. A connection portion 70 c to which a coupler 72 as a connection portion provided at the tip of the electric wire 71 is connected is exposed from the cylinder 1 and disposed in the ventilation path 46 while being covered by the shroud 45.

油温センサ75は、排気ポート14の出口14ａが開口する側のシリンダ１の下側周壁１ｂに取り付けられる。ほぼ柱状で軸方向にほぼ平行に配置される油温センサ75は、シリンダ１にねじ込まれて取り付けられるネジ部からなる取付部75ａと、シリンダ１の内部に位置して戻り油路64に臨む検出部75ｂと、検出信号を前記制御装置に伝達する電線76が接続される接続部75ｃとを有する。電線76の先端に設けられた接続部としてのカプラー77が接続される接続部75ｃは、シュラウド45により覆われた状態で、シリンダ１から露出して通風路46に配置される。   The oil temperature sensor 75 is attached to the lower peripheral wall 1b of the cylinder 1 on the side where the outlet 14a of the exhaust port 14 opens. The oil temperature sensor 75, which is substantially columnar and arranged substantially parallel to the axial direction, has a mounting portion 75a consisting of a screw portion screwed into the cylinder 1 and a detection facing the return oil passage 64 located inside the cylinder 1. Part 75b and a connection part 75c to which an electric wire 76 for transmitting a detection signal to the control device is connected. A connection portion 75 c to which a coupler 77 as a connection portion provided at the tip of the electric wire 76 is connected is exposed from the cylinder 1 and disposed in the ventilation path 46 while being covered with the shroud 45.

さらに、油温センサ75は軸方向で検出部75ｂからチェーン室27とは反対側に延びて配置され、しかも平面Ｈ（図６参照）に直交する方向から見て、油温センサ75の全体がシリンダ１と重なる（図１参照）。このため、油温センサ75は軸方向でシリンダ１から軸方向に突出することがなく、シリンダ１に対してコンパクトに配置される。ここで、平面Ｈとは、シリンダ軸線Ｌ２を含むと共に、回転中心線Ｌ１に平行な、または回転中心線Ｌ１を含む平面である。   Further, the oil temperature sensor 75 is arranged to extend in the axial direction from the detecting portion 75b to the opposite side of the chain chamber 27, and when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the plane H (see FIG. 6), the entire oil temperature sensor 75 is It overlaps with the cylinder 1 (see FIG. 1). For this reason, the oil temperature sensor 75 does not protrude in the axial direction from the cylinder 1 in the axial direction, and is disposed compactly with respect to the cylinder 1. Here, the plane H is a plane including the cylinder axis L2 and parallel to the rotation center line L1 or including the rotation center line L1.

各センサ70，75において、接続部70ｃ，75ｃは、検知部70ｂ，75ｂに対して軸方向で軸端部７ｂに設けられた冷却ファン40寄りに位置する。このため、接続部70ｃ，75ｃは各センサ70，75において冷却風の上流に位置する。   In each sensor 70, 75, the connecting portions 70c, 75c are positioned closer to the cooling fan 40 provided in the shaft end portion 7b in the axial direction than the detecting portions 70b, 75b. For this reason, the connection parts 70c and 75c are located upstream of the cooling air in the sensors 70 and 75.

酸素濃度センサ70および油温センサ75は、平面Ｈに対して排気ポート14の出口14ａが開口する側の前記機関本体の部分、この実施形態ではそれぞれシリンダヘッド３およびシリンダ１の下面を形成する下側周壁３ｂ，１ｂに、互いにほぼ平行に、シリンダ軸線方向に並んで配置される（図１参照）。そして、両センサ70，75は、シリンダ軸線方向から見て重なる位置にある（図６参照）。   The oxygen concentration sensor 70 and the oil temperature sensor 75 are parts of the engine main body on the side where the outlet 14a of the exhaust port 14 opens with respect to the plane H, in this embodiment, the lower side of the cylinder head 3 and the cylinder 1 respectively. The side peripheral walls 3b and 1b are arranged substantially parallel to each other and aligned in the cylinder axial direction (see FIG. 1). Both sensors 70 and 75 are in a position where they overlap when viewed from the cylinder axis direction (see FIG. 6).

各電線71，76は、接続部70ｃ，75ｃから通風路46を横切って冷却ファン40に近づく方向に軸方向に延びて、両シュラウド部分45ａ，45ｂの切欠き部に嵌合して保持されるグロメット79を貫通してシュラウド45の外部に延出し、前記制御装置に接続される。それゆえ、各電線71，76は、シリンダ１およびシリンダヘッド３よりも冷却風の上流に配置される。このため、各電線71，76は、シリンダ１およびシリンダヘッド３に達する前の冷却風に曝される。   The electric wires 71 and 76 extend from the connecting portions 70c and 75c in the axial direction in the direction of approaching the cooling fan 40 across the ventilation path 46, and are fitted and held in the notches of the shroud portions 45a and 45b. It penetrates the grommet 79 and extends to the outside of the shroud 45 and is connected to the control device. Therefore, the electric wires 71 and 76 are arranged upstream of the cooling air from the cylinder 1 and the cylinder head 3. For this reason, the electric wires 71 and 76 are exposed to the cooling air before reaching the cylinder 1 and the cylinder head 3.

そして、酸素濃度センサ70で検出された検出値は、前記排気装置に備えられる触媒装置による排気ガスの浄化性能を高めるために、燃料噴射弁36の燃料量の制御に使用され、また油温センサ75で検出された検出値は、内燃機関Ｅの暖機状態に応じた燃料噴射弁36の燃料量の制御や、暖機時のアイドル回転速度制御のためのアイドル空気量の制御に使用される。   The detected value detected by the oxygen concentration sensor 70 is used to control the fuel amount of the fuel injection valve 36 in order to enhance the purification performance of exhaust gas by the catalyst device provided in the exhaust device, and the oil temperature sensor The detected value detected at 75 is used for control of the fuel amount of the fuel injection valve 36 according to the warm-up state of the internal combustion engine E, and control of the idle air amount for controlling the idle rotation speed during warm-up. .

図３，図４を参照すると、内燃機関Ｅには、排気ガス中の未燃成分（ＨＣ，ＣＯ）を燃焼させて排気を浄化するために排気ガス中に排気浄化用空気を供給する排気系２次空気供給装置が備えられる。該２次空気供給装置は、排気ガスに供給される空気量を制御する制御弁81と、該制御弁81とシリンダヘッド３とを接続して、制御弁81で制御された排気浄化用空気を排気ポート14に導く空気供給管82とを備える。制御弁81は、例えば酸素濃度センサ70の検出値に基づく燃料量の制御が行われない機関運転状態のときに、排気ガス中に排気浄化用空気を供給する。そして、空気供給管82は、制御弁81に接続されるゴムホースからなる上流側供給管82ａと、シュラウド45に沿って配管される金属製の下流側供給管82ｂとから構成される。下流側供給管82ｂは、シリンダヘッド３の外面から突出して通風路46を横切って、シュラウド45の開口54からシュラウド45の外部まで延びる突出部から構成される通路形成部83に接続される。シリンダヘッド３と一体に形成される通路形成部83には排気ポート14に開口する空気通路84が設けられており、空気供給管82を流通した排気浄化用空気が空気通路84を流通して排気ポート14に供給される。
通路形成部83は、空気通路84が排気ポート14よりも通風路46において冷却風の下流に位置するように、排気ポート14および排気管38よりも冷却風の下流の位置に設けられる。 Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, an exhaust system for supplying exhaust purification air to the internal combustion engine E in order to purify the exhaust gas by burning unburned components (HC, CO) in the exhaust gas. A secondary air supply device is provided. The secondary air supply device connects a control valve 81 for controlling the amount of air supplied to the exhaust gas, and the control valve 81 and the cylinder head 3 so that the exhaust purification air controlled by the control valve 81 is supplied. And an air supply pipe 82 leading to the exhaust port 14. For example, the control valve 81 supplies exhaust purification air into the exhaust gas when the engine is in an operating state in which the fuel amount based on the detection value of the oxygen concentration sensor 70 is not controlled. The air supply pipe 82 includes an upstream supply pipe 82a made of a rubber hose connected to the control valve 81, and a metal downstream supply pipe 82b piped along the shroud 45. The downstream supply pipe 82b protrudes from the outer surface of the cylinder head 3 and is connected to a passage forming portion 83 formed of a protruding portion extending across the ventilation path 46 from the opening 54 of the shroud 45 to the outside of the shroud 45. The passage forming portion 83 formed integrally with the cylinder head 3 is provided with an air passage 84 that opens to the exhaust port 14, and the exhaust purification air that has passed through the air supply pipe 82 passes through the air passage 84 and is exhausted. Supplied to port 14.
The passage forming portion 83 is provided at a position downstream of the cooling air from the exhaust port 14 and the exhaust pipe 38 so that the air passage 84 is located downstream of the cooling air in the ventilation path 46 from the exhaust port 14.

次に、前述のように構成された実施形態の作用および効果について説明する。
シリンダヘッド３に取り付けられる酸素濃度センサ70およびシリンダ１に取り付けられる油温センサ75にそれぞれ接続される電線71，76が通風路46に配置されることにより、各センサ70，75および各電線71，76はシュラウド45内に配置されるので、異物、例えば走行中に跳ね上げた小石などとの衝突や接触などから保護される。そして、シュラウド45の外部にセンサが配置されることにより該センサと該センサの付近の周辺部品との間で配置の制約が生じる技術とは異なり、シュラウド45の外部に配置される部材によりセンサ70，75および電線71，76の配置が制約されることがなく、逆に、センサ70，75や電線71，76が該部材の配置を制約することもない。また、通風路46に配置されたセンサ70，75および電線71，76は、シュラウド45内で冷却風により冷却されるので、内燃機関Ｅからの熱による過熱が防止される。この結果、内燃機関Ｅにおいて、シュラウド45を利用することで、簡単な構造により、各センサ70，75および該センサ70，75に接続される電線71，76の保護機能および冷却性が確保され、しかもセンサ70，75および電線71，76の配置の自由度が大きくなる。 Next, operations and effects of the embodiment configured as described above will be described.
The electric wires 71 and 76 connected to the oxygen concentration sensor 70 attached to the cylinder head 3 and the oil temperature sensor 75 attached to the cylinder 1 are arranged in the ventilation path 46, so that each sensor 70, 75 and each electric wire 71, Since 76 is disposed in the shroud 45, it is protected from collision and contact with foreign objects, for example, pebbles that are flipped up while traveling. Unlike the technology in which the arrangement of the sensor outside the shroud 45 causes a restriction on the arrangement between the sensor and peripheral components in the vicinity of the sensor, the sensor 70 is arranged by a member arranged outside the shroud 45. , 75 and the wires 71 and 76 are not restricted, and conversely, the sensors 70 and 75 and the wires 71 and 76 do not restrict the arrangement of the members. Further, since the sensors 70 and 75 and the electric wires 71 and 76 disposed in the ventilation path 46 are cooled by the cooling air in the shroud 45, overheating due to heat from the internal combustion engine E is prevented. As a result, by using the shroud 45 in the internal combustion engine E, the protection function and cooling performance of the sensors 70 and 75 and the electric wires 71 and 76 connected to the sensors 70 and 75 are secured by a simple structure. Moreover, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the sensors 70 and 75 and the electric wires 71 and 76 is increased.

シュラウド45に覆われると共に冷却風を通風路46に送る冷却ファン40を備え、各電線71，76はシリンダ１およびシリンダヘッド３よりも冷却風の上流に配置されることにより、冷却ファン40による冷却風で強制空冷される内燃機関Ｅにおいて、シリンダ１およびシリンダヘッド３を冷却する前の冷却風により電線71，76が効果的に冷却されるので、内燃機関Ｅからの熱による電線71，76の温度上昇に起因する電気抵抗の変化が抑制される。また、酸素濃度センサ70および油温センサ75は、シリンダヘッド３およびシリンダ１の内部に位置する検出部70ｂ，70ｃに対して接続部70ｃ，75ｃがクランク軸７の軸端部７ｂに設けられた冷却ファン40寄りに位置するように取り付けられることにより、酸素濃度センサ70および油温センサ75において、それぞれの接続部70ｃ，75ｃが冷却ファン40により近い位置にあることから、各センサ70，75に接続される電線71，76はより低温の冷却風より冷却されるので、この点でも、電線71，76の温度上昇に起因する電気抵抗の変化が抑制される。この結果、センサ70，75に接続される電線71，76の冷却性が一層向上することにより、電気抵抗の変化が抑制されるので、センサ70，75の検出精度が向上する。   A cooling fan 40 that is covered by the shroud 45 and sends the cooling air to the air passage 46 is provided, and the electric wires 71 and 76 are arranged upstream of the cooling air from the cylinder 1 and the cylinder head 3, thereby cooling by the cooling fan 40. In the internal combustion engine E that is forcibly air-cooled by wind, the electric wires 71 and 76 are effectively cooled by the cooling air before the cylinder 1 and the cylinder head 3 are cooled. Changes in electrical resistance due to temperature rise are suppressed. The oxygen concentration sensor 70 and the oil temperature sensor 75 are provided with connecting portions 70c and 75c at the shaft end portion 7b of the crankshaft 7 with respect to the detecting portions 70b and 70c located inside the cylinder head 3 and the cylinder 1. Since the oxygen concentration sensor 70 and the oil temperature sensor 75 are attached so as to be positioned closer to the cooling fan 40, the respective connection portions 70 c and 75 c are closer to the cooling fan 40. Since the connected wires 71 and 76 are cooled by cooler cooling air, the change in electrical resistance due to the temperature rise of the wires 71 and 76 is also suppressed in this respect. As a result, the cooling performance of the electric wires 71 and 76 connected to the sensors 70 and 75 is further improved, and the change in electric resistance is suppressed, so that the detection accuracy of the sensors 70 and 75 is improved.

酸素濃度センサ70は排気ポート14よりも冷却風の上流の位置に取り付けられ、排気ポート14よりも冷却風の下流の位置には排気ポート14に排気浄化用空気を導く空気通路84が設けられることにより、酸素濃度センサ70および空気通路84を排気ポート14に近接して配置することができる。しかも、酸素濃度センサ70は排気ポート14の排気ガスにより加熱される前の冷却風により効果的に冷却され、空気通路84を流通する排気浄化用空気については、空気通路84が形成される通路形成部83が排気ポート14付近のシリンダヘッド３を冷却した後の、排気ガスにより加熱された冷却風に曝されることにより、その温度の低下が抑制または防止されるので、排気ガス中の未燃成分と排気浄化用空気との反応が促進される。この結果、酸素濃度センサ70および排気浄化用空気の空気通路84がコンパクトに配置されたうえで、酸素濃度センサ70の冷却性が向上し、さらに排気浄化用空気による排気浄化性能が向上する。   The oxygen concentration sensor 70 is attached at a position upstream of the cooling air from the exhaust port 14, and an air passage 84 for introducing exhaust purification air to the exhaust port 14 is provided at a position downstream of the cooling air from the exhaust port 14. Thus, the oxygen concentration sensor 70 and the air passage 84 can be disposed close to the exhaust port 14. Moreover, the oxygen concentration sensor 70 is effectively cooled by the cooling air before being heated by the exhaust gas of the exhaust port 14, and the exhaust purification air flowing through the air passage 84 is formed with a passage in which the air passage 84 is formed. Since the portion 83 is exposed to the cooling air heated by the exhaust gas after cooling the cylinder head 3 in the vicinity of the exhaust port 14, the temperature decrease is suppressed or prevented. The reaction between the components and the exhaust purification air is promoted. As a result, the oxygen concentration sensor 70 and the air passage 84 for the exhaust purification air are arranged in a compact manner, the cooling performance of the oxygen concentration sensor 70 is improved, and the exhaust purification performance by the exhaust purification air is further improved.
