Chain cover 60 includes sealing surfaces 68s, and sealing surfaces 68s and sealing surfaces 27s, 28s, 29s, 37s and 38s cooperation will sealings Component CL5 is clipped in the middle.On sealing surfaces 27s, 28s, 29s, 37s and 38s and sealing surfaces 68s, it is formed with and does not assign Multiple bolts hole of appended drawing reference are inserted into it for the bolt for chain cover 60 to be fastened in cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30 In.Containment member CL5 is located at the outside of multiple bolts hole.Chain cover 60 containment member CL5 be sandwiched in sealing surfaces 27s, It is fastened in the state of between 28s, 29s, 37s and 38s and sealing surfaces 68s in cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30.This inhibits Between chain cover 60 and cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30 generate gap.
As described above, gap, cam shell 30 between cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30 and the gap between housing 40 And the gap between chain cover 60 and cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30 is sealing.Thus, for example, it is therefore prevented that it is supplied to convex The oil leak of wheel shaft 53 and 54 to outside.
Next, the right side wall 33 that cam shell 30 shown in Fig. 2A will be described.Fig. 4 A is intercepted along the line A-A of Fig. 2A Sectional view.The direction that the section extends perpendicular to camshaft 53 and 54.Right side wall 33 includes sunk area 330, bending region 331 and linear region 332.Bending region 331 is extended to the upside of gravity direction from sunk area 330.Linear region 332 is from curved Bent region 331 extends to the upside of gravity direction.Bending region 331 and linear region 332 are that weight is extended to from sunk area 330 One example of the upper area of the upside in power direction.Sunk area 330 and bending region 331 are all curved, and curvature Radius is substantially the same.The inner surface of right side wall 33 be it is curved, so as to from sunk area 330 to bending region 331 gradually Close to vertically.Linear region 332 is slightly slanted relative to gravity direction in cross section, but is substantially linearly extended.
Sunk area 330 is on gravity direction to lower recess.Fig. 4 B is the enlarged view of sunk area 330.Fig. 4 B is shown It is parallel to the horizontal line section HL of X-direction.Here, the lubricating oil for being supplied to camshaft 53 and 54 passes through the rotation of camshaft 53 and 54 Then it splashes.The oil that at least part is splashed is attached to the linear region 332 and bending region 331 of the inner surface of right side wall 33 On, it then flows downward along gravity direction, and be maintained in sunk area 330.Which ensure that oil is contacted with right side wall 33 Until the time that oil is overflowed from sunk area 330.The oil newly to splash is always held in sunk area 330.
Here, camshaft 53 and 54 is supplied to the oil from multiple paths, and while oil stream crosses these paths, oil It is heated up due to the burning in engine 1.Therefore, this high temperature oil being maintained in sunk area 330 transmits heat from oil To the right side wall 33 of cam shell 30, to promote the heat exchange between oil and cam shell 30.In addition, 330 shape of sunk area Extend as the X-direction extended along camshaft 53 and 54.Which ensure that the inner surface of oil and the right side wall 33 of cam shell 30 Between contact area, promote oil and cam shell 30 between heat exchange.In addition, Fig. 4 A shows the oil of splashing.
The heat exchange between high temperature oil and cam shell 30 is promoted in this way, thus in the temperature of cam shell 30 It rises.Which suppress the increases of the temperature difference between cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30, it is suppressed that the cylinder head due to caused by the temperature difference The increase of thermal dilation difference between 20 and cam shell 30.Here, if the heat between cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30 is swollen Swollen difference increases, then sealing surfaces 23s, 24s and 25s of cylinder head 20 may be relative to corresponding thereto close of cam shell 30 Seal surface location offset.As a result, the containment member CL2 being located between sealing surfaces that is situated between is likely to be broken, then oil may be in gas It is leaked between cylinder cap 20 and cam shell 30.In the present embodiment, the increase of thermal dilation difference is inhibited as described above, to press down This oil leak is made.
In addition, as shown in Figure 4 A, sunk area 330 is formed in compared to sealing surfaces 33s closer to the position of sealing surfaces 23s It sets at (than sealing surfaces 33s apart from sealing surfaces 23s closer proximity).Therefore, it may increase facing with each other and can The sealing surfaces 23s of cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30 around the sealing surfaces of cam shell 30 that oil leak gap can be become Temperature.This appropriately suppressed oil leak.
Incidentally, different in face of the sealing surfaces of sealing surfaces 23s of cylinder head 20 from cam shell 30, face each other Pair cam shell 30 sealing surfaces 33s and housing 40 sealing surfaces periphery far from cylinder head 20.Therefore, on the periphery In, the temperature difference and thermal dilation difference between cam shell 30 and housing 40 hardly increase, and hardly happen oil leak.Cause This, in the present embodiment, the sealing surfaces 23s's of the cylinder head 20 formed therein for being prone to oil leak of sunk area 330 In periphery.
Fig. 4 A shows the line segment CL between the inward flange for being connected to sealing surfaces 23s and the inward flange of sealing surfaces 33s. Bending region 331 and linear region 332 are located at the outside of cam shell 30 relative to line segment CL.In other words, it is bent region 331 The outside of cam shell 30 is projected into from line segment CL with linear region 332.Therefore, have in sectional view along line segment CL with side wall There is the case where rectilinear form to compare, it is ensured that the length of the inner surface of right side wall 33.Here, as described above, oily splash bending Region 331 and linear region 332, then flow to sunk area 330.As it ensure that the length of the inner surface of right side wall 33, because This ensures the time that oil is contacted with bending region 331 and linear region 332.Therefore, even if being also promoted using this configuration Heat exchange between oil and the right side wall 33 of cam shell 30.In addition, as sunk area 330, bending region 331 and linear Region 332 extends also along camshaft 53.
As shown in Figure 4 A, linear region 332 is smoothly extended to sunk area 330 through being bent region 331.Therefore, adhere to Oil on linear region 332 and bending region 331 flows to rapidly sunk area 330.Therefore, it is absorbed into a large amount of heat Before the linear region 332 and bending region 331 of right side wall 33, oil is maintained in sunk area 330, therefore the big calorimetric of oil Amount is transmitted to sunk area 330.This allows to improve the sealing surfaces 23s and cam shell 30 of cylinder head 20 facing with each other Sealing surfaces around cam shell 30 temperature.This appropriately suppressed oil leak.
In addition, as shown in Figure 4 A, the inclination angle of the linear region 332 above sunk area 330 is located on gravity direction It spends more precipitous than the tilt angle at the arbitrary point on sunk area 330.In other words, the tilt angle phase of linear region 332 For horizontal direction substantially at 90 degree.Therefore, the oil being attached on linear region 332 flows to rapidly sunk area 330.This is also fitted Locality inhibits oil leak.
Fig. 5 is the sectional view intercepted along the line B-B of Fig. 2A.Left side wall 34 is substantially right with right side wall 33 about YZ plane Claim.Therefore, as right side wall 33, the inner surface of left side wall 34 also includes sunk area 340, bending region 341 and linear Region 342.This facilitate the heat exchanges between oil and the left side wall 34 of cam shell 30, also inhibit the enclosed watch of cylinder head 20 Oil leak between the sealing surfaces of the left side wall 34 of face 24s and cam shell 30.
As described above, it is suppressed that thermally expanded due to caused by the temperature difference between them between cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30 The increase of difference, this is also inhibited between the sealing surfaces 37s and 38s of cam shell 30 and the sealing surfaces 68s of chain cover 60 Oil leak.In addition, the heat exchange between oil and cam shell 30 inhibits the excessive raising of oil temperature.Which suppress oil deterioration, And due to its viscosity it is excessive reduction and reduce its lubricity.
Furthermore it is ensured that the surface area of right side wall 33 and the respective inner surface of left side wall 34, it ensures that engine 1 The area on the surface that the blow-by gas of middle generation is contacted.Therefore, the inside table of blow-by gas and right side wall 33 and left side wall 34 Face contact, this facilitate the separation of oil and blow-by gas.Which suppress the increases of oil consumption, and since gas blowby is introduced air inlet System and generate white cigarette.
In the present embodiment, rear wall 35 is different from right side wall 33 and left side wall 34, but rear wall 35 can be similarly It constitutes.Using this configuration, heat exchange can be carried out between substantially entire cam shell 30 and oil, this is further suppressed The increase of the temperature difference between cam shell 30 and cylinder head 20.
In the present embodiment, sunk area 330 is formed in the substantially whole region of right side wall 33 extended in the Y direction On, but not limited to this.For example, above-mentioned sunk area 330 can be made only in the one of the region along Y-direction extension of right side wall 33 In part.For example, such sunk area 330 can be formed in compared to rear wall 35 closer at the position of chain cover 60.This The temperature for increasing the right side wall 33 of the cam shell 30 near chain cover 60, appropriately suppressed cam shell 30 and chain cover Oil leak between 60.This is equally applicable to the sunk area 340 of left side wall 34.
Next, by description according to the cam shell 30a of a modification.Fig. 6 A is the cam shell 30a according to the modification Partial top view.Fig. 6 B is the sectional view intercepted along the line C-C of Fig. 6 A.Inner surface of the cam shell 30a in left side wall 34a On be formed with rib 347.Rib 347 extends downwardly on gravity direction along the inner surface of left side wall 34a, and in cam shell The inside of 30a is prominent.Rib 347 is arranged between adjacent abutment wall 37.Setting rib 347 increases left side wall in this way The area of the inner surface of 34a.That is, it is ensured that can adhere to the amount of the oil on the inner surface of left side wall 34a.This promotees Into the heat transmitting from oil to left side wall 34a, it is suppressed that oil leak.
In addition, the volume that rib 347 increases left side wall 34a is arranged in left side wall 34a, which ensure that its rigidity.Ensure The vibration of the left side wall 34a due to caused by the burning in engine is inhibited positioned at the rigidity of the left side wall 34a of exhaust side.This suppression The vibrating noise of the housing 40 due to caused by the 40 vibration transmitting from left side wall 34a to housing is made.
The position of rib 347 is not limited to position shown in Fig. 6 A, but can be set far to fasten 20 He of cylinder head At the position of the bolt of cam shell 30a.Itself the reason is as follows that: the heat near bolt, between cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30a The increase of differences in expansion is adjusted by the fastening force of bolt to a certain extent, and this fastening force is in the position far from bolt It may be inadequate.Therefore, setting rib 347 ensures the cam shell at the position far from bolt at the position far from bolt The surface area of the left side wall 34a of 30a, which suppress far from bolt position between cylinder head 20 and cam shell 30a The increase of the difference of thermal expansion.
The rib similar to rib 347 also can be set in the right side wall 33 for being located at air inlet side.This further suppresses leakage Oil.Furthermore, it is possible to inhibit the vibration of right side wall 33.However, the setting of this rib may cause increase and the fuel of case weight The deterioration of consumption.Therefore, it is intended that considering the increase of case weight, the effect for inhibiting oil leak, reducing the effect of vibration etc. to set The position of rib, size and number.For example, being vibrated as caused by the burning of engine compared with the right side wall 33 for being located at air inlet side Tend to be transmitted to the left side wall 34a positioned at exhaust side.Therefore, in this variant, it is contemplated that in the weight for inhibiting cam shell 30a Reduce the vibration for being located at the left side wall 34a of exhaust side while amount increases, rib 347 is provided only in left side wall 34a.
Although some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail, the present invention is not limited to specific embodiments, but It can change or change in the range of claimed invention.
In above-described embodiment and modification, sunk area 330 is smoothly extended to bending region 331, but is not limited to this Kind shape.For example, sunk area can be in groove shape shape when observing in the section in the direction extended perpendicular to camshaft At on the substantially horizontal region of the inner surface in side wall.In addition, the inner surface of side wall can be it is curved so that inclination Angle moves closer to level on gravity direction from top to lower part, and sunk area can be by under the effect of gravity from shell The shape that projects upwards of inward flange in the bending region limit, to prevent oil stream to enclosure interior.In above-described embodiment and In modification, linear region 332 is formed as substantially straight, but not limited to this, and curved shape can be formed as.
