Description
- This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0172873, filed on Dec. 4, 2015 with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a valve seat structure, and more particularly, to a valve seat structure capable of improving durability of the valve seat by forming a part of the valve seat from a high hardness material.
- Generally, an engine is an apparatus which converts heat energy generated by combusting fuel into kinetic energy to generate power. The engine includes a cylinder block and a cylinder head.
- The cylinder block forms a frame of the engine and some engine parts are attached to the cylinder block. The cylinder head is positioned at an upper part of the cylinder block and forms a combustion chamber along with the cylinder block. The cylinder head is provided with an intake valve which opens and closes an intake port and an exhaust valve which opens and closes an exhaust port, and ends of the intake and exhaust valves are each provided with valve heads.
- For the valve head to completely adhere to the cylinder, an inside of the cylinder head is provided with a valve seat. When the intake port or the exhaust port is opened and closed, the valve head may contact the valve seat to keep the combustion chamber airtight. Therefore, it is possible to prevent gas of the combustion chamber from being leaked and increase heat efficiency.
- However, the valve seat is exposed to heat from the combustion chamber, where fuel is ignited. Therefore, the valve seat must include abrasion resistance, impact resistance and heat resistance.
- Existing valve seats use a method for coupling all surfaces contacting the valve head with a high hardness material, or existing valve seats use a method for infiltrating cooper into the valve seat, to increase heat conductivity.
- However, the method for coupling all surfaces contacting the valve head with a high hardness material may greatly aggravate the heat conductivity of the valve seat since high hardness materials generally have low heat conductivity. As a result, heat transferred to the valve seat is not emitted to the outside. In addition, the high hardness material coupled with all parts contacting the valve head along an inner circumferential surface of the valve seat may increase manufacturing costs of the valve seat.
- Further, the method for infiltrating copper into the valve seat may infiltrate a copper component into the contact part of the valve seat to the valve head and lessen the abrasion resistance of the valve seat.
- Further, the combustion chamber has a changing temperature depending on position. As the temperature of the combustion chamber is changed depending on position, the temperature of the cylinder head forming the combustion chamber is also changed depending on position. A part of the cylinder head may generate relatively higher heat and other parts thereof may generate relatively lower heat.
- Further, like the cylinder head, the valve seat mounted in the cylinder head has different temperatures depending on the position. Therefore, a part of the valve seat having temperature relatively higher than that of other parts may be thermally deformed, the valve seat may not completely adhere to the valve head due to a part of the thermally deformed valve seat, and gas may be leaked between the valve seat and the valve head. This may cause a deterioration in the engine power or the damage of the engine.
- The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the disclosure and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
- The present disclosure has been made in an effort to provide a valve seat structure in which a part of the valve seat higher than a predetermined temperature is formed from a high hardness material and to facilitate an assembly of the valve seat.
- An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a valve seat structure, including: a cylinder head configured to be mounted at an upper part of a combustion chamber; at least one valve port configured to be formed at a part of the cylinder head to be opened and closed by an intake valve or an exhaust valve; and a valve seat configured to be mounted along an inner circumferential surface of the valve port, wherein a part of the valve seat is provided with a high hardness material portion made from a high hardness material and the high hardness material portion is formed only at a high-temperature part of the valve seat.
- The high hardness material portion may exhibit bilateral symmetry based on a straight line passing through centers of a spark plug and a valve port as an axis.
- A central angle of the fan-shaped arc may range from 10° to 350°.
- The high hardness material portion may be made from one material.
- The high hardness material portion may be made from at least one material and the high hardness material may be formed at a location contacting the valve.
- The high hardness material portion may be made from one material into which a copper component is infiltrated.
- The high hardness material portion may be made from at least one material and the high hardness material may be formed at a location contacting the valve and the inside thereof may be infiltrated with the copper component.
- The high hardness material portion may include a coupling portion from which the portion protrudes, the cylinder head may have a part provided with a groove-shaped mounting portion corresponding to the coupling portion, and the coupling portion and the mounting portion may be coupled with each other.
- The high hardness material portion may have a part provided with a groove-shaped coupling portion, the cylinder head may have a part provided with a protrusion-shaped mounting portion corresponding to the coupling portion, and the coupling portion and the mounting portion may be coupled with each other.

cylinder head 5 is mounted at an upper part of the combustion chamber and forms a part of the combustion chamber along with the cylinder block. Thecylinder head 5 is provided with aspark plug 30 which ignites mixed gasses in the combustion chamber. Thecylinder head 5 includes at least onevalve port 7. - The
valve port 7 may be formed in a shape such that it is opened at a lower part of thecylinder head 5. Intake or exhaust may communicate with the combustion chamber through thevalve port 7. An inside of thevalve port 7 is provided with a valve (not illustrated). The valve may reciprocate at an appropriate timing to control a flow of liquid or gas. Thevalve port 7 may be opened and closed by the reciprocation of the valve. That is, the valve may supply a mixture of air and fuel into the combustion chamber or emit exhaust gas from the combustion chamber, while opening thevalve port 7 and may prevent the mixture or the exhaust gas from being leaked while sealing thevalve port 7. - The
valve seat 100 may serve to maintain an airtight seal while contacting the valve, as the valve seals thevalve port 7. Thevalve seat 100 may be mounted along the inner circumferential surface of thevalve port 7. Thevalve seat 100 may encounter heat generated by ignited fuel in the combustion chamber or supplied with heat through contacting the valve. Therefore, thevalve seat 100 may have a higher temperature at a surface contacting the valve than that at a surface coupled with thevalve port 7. - Meanwhile, the combustion chamber may have a difference in temperature depending on the position, and the
cylinder head 5 covering the combustion chamber may have a different temperature depending on the position. Further, thevalve seat 100 temperature may also depend on the position. Specifically, the temperature of thevalve seat 100 positioned near theignition plug 30 may be relatively higher than that of other parts. This phenomenon will be described in more detail with reference toFIGS. 5 and 6 . -
FIG. 5 is a front view of the general cylinder head in which the valve seat is mounted andFIG. 6 is a temperature distribution graph of the valve seat ofFIG. 5 . - As illustrated in

According to thetemperature distribution graph 200, the temperature of thevalve seat 100 which is positioned on a straight line B1-C connecting between acenter 31 of the spark plug and the center C of the valve port is highest. Further, according to the drawings, the temperature of thevalve seat 100 positioned on straight lines C1-C and D1-C near thecenter 31 of the spark plug is also relatively high. Further, the temperature of thevalve seat 100 positioned on the straight line E1-C farthest away from the spark plug is relatively low. - The valve seat structure according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure include a high
hardness material portion 10 of the high hardness material formed at a part of thevalve seat 100 that experiences more than a predetermined temperature to prevent a part of the high-temperature valve seat 100 from being thermally deformed. As described above, the part where the temperature of thevalve seat 100 is relatively high is positioned on the straight line B1-C connecting between the center of thespark plug 30 and the center C of thevalve port 7. Therefore the highhardness material portion 10 is preferably installed to face thespark plug 30. - The parts other than the high
hardness material portion 10 of thevalve seat 100 may be provided with ageneral material portion 20 of a general hardness material. - As such, only a part of the
valve seat 100 is made from the high hardness material to reduce the composition ratio of the high hardness material. Further, the heat conductivity of thevalve seat 100 may be improved and costs may be saved. - The high
hardness material portion 10 may be formed to exhibit bilateral symmetry based on a straight line passing through thecenters 31 and C of the spark plug as an axis. Further, the highhardness material portion 10 may be formed in a fan-shaped arc and a central angle X of the fan-shaped arc preferably ranges from 10° to 350° but is not limited thereto. - Meanwhile, the whole of the high
hardness material portion 10 may be made of one material. Further, only a part contacting the high-temperature valve may be made from the high hardness material and thus the cross section thereof may be made from two kinds of materials. Further, the highhardness material portion 10 may be made from one high hardness material into which the copper component is infiltrated. Further, only a part contacting the valve may be made from the high hardness material and the inside thereof may be infiltrated with the copper component. - The high
hardness material portion 10 may include acoupling portion 50. As illustrated inFIGS. 3 and 4 , thecoupling portion 50 may be formed to have a protrusion shape which protrudes from an upper part of the highhardness material portion 10. In this case, the cylinder head 4 may be provided with a groove-shaped mountingportion 55 corresponding to thecoupling portion 50 and thecoupling portion 50 may be coupled by the mountingportion 55. As such, thecoupling portion 50 may be mounted in the mountingportion 55 and thus thevalve seat 100 may be easily assembled in a direction in which the highhardness material portion 10 faces thespark plug 30. -
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a valve seat according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure andFIG. 8 is a partial perspective view of a cylinder head in which the valve seat, according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, is mounted. - According to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
FIGS. 7 and 8 , thecoupling portion 60 may have a groove shape at the upper part of the highhardness material portion 10. When thecoupling portion 60 has the groove shape, the mountingportion 65 has a protruding shape and thus may be coupled with thecoupling portion 60. - As described above, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, only the part that experiences more than a predetermined temperature in a part of the valve seat may be made from the high hardness material, thereby providing the valve seat in which the composition ratio of the high hardness material is minimized. Therefore, the durability of the valve seat is kept as it is and the cost may be saved. Further, the composition ratio of the high hardness material having the low heat conductivity is reduced and thus the heat conductivity of the valve seat may be improved.
- Further, it may be possible to prevent the valve seat from being damaged due to the temperature deviation by constantly maintaining the temperature distribution of the valve seat.
- Additionally, the mounting groove and the mounting protrusion may be formed at a part of the valve seat made from the high hardness material. As a result, the valve seat may be easily assembled with the cylinder head.
