Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of engine cooling, in particular to a cylinder body assembly with a cooling water pipeline and an engine.

Background

During the process of completing energy conversion, the engine needs to dissipate heat through an engine cooling system. In the early days, the engine was cooled primarily by air convection. As the power density of engines continues to increase and emissions and energy conservation technologies are considered, the engine blocks, if not cooled as necessary to operate in the optimum temperature range, tend to pre-ignite and deflagrate, causing damage to the engine components by subjecting them to additional shock loads. Meanwhile, the lubrication condition of the engine is deteriorated, and the normal clearance of the moving part is damaged, so that the friction and the abrasion of parts are caused, the working efficiency is finally reduced, and the service life is shortened.

In the prior art, the cooling fan is directly driven by the engine to provide forced cooling air volume, and the cooling water is driven by a water pump to circulate in the engine to cool the engine. However, when cooling water passes through the oil cooler, the water flow channels between the inner radiating fins are small, and blockage is easy to occur, so that the cooling effect of the whole machine is affected, and the problems of cylinder pulling and the like are caused. Accordingly, there is a need for a cylinder block assembly for an engine that overcomes the above-identified deficiencies.

The water pump 3 is provided above the cylinder block 1, and the oil pump 7 is provided below the cylinder block. The intake side 12 of the cylinder block 1 is also provided with an oil filter mount 124, and an oil filter (not shown) is fixed to the oil filter mount 124.

Referring to fig. 7 to 11, the cylinder block assembly 100 includes cooling water lines and cylinders 16 disposed between the cooling water lines. The cooling water line includes a first water path 171 located on the intake side 13, a second water path 172 located on the exhaust side 14, and a third water path 173 connecting the first water path 171 and the second water path 172 and located on the rear side 12 of the cylinder. The cooling water line is provided around the cylinder block 16, and can cool the cylinder block 1.

The cylinder block 1 is further provided with an oil cooler mount 15 on the exhaust side 14, and the oil cooler mount 15 is provided on the second water passage 172. This arrangement makes it possible to cause cooling water to flow into the oil cooler 4 (see fig. 3) to cool the oil (lubricating oil) flowing through the oil cooler. The cylinder block assembly 100 further includes a cooling duct 2 fixed to the block rear side 12, and a third water passage 173 is provided in the cooling duct 2. In the present embodiment, since the first and second water passages 171 and 172 are provided in the cylinder block 1, the first and second water passages 171 and 172 may be referred to as a cylinder block water passage. Since the third water passage 173 is provided in the cooling duct 2, the third water passage 173 may also be referred to as a cooling duct water passage. The third water passage 173 in the present embodiment is fixed to the cylinder block 1 by assembling, but in other embodiments, the third water passage 173 may be directly provided in the cylinder block 1.

The cooling pipe 2 is elongated and placed on the upper side of the cylinder block 1. The cooling pipe 2 includes a first connection port 1731 at one end of the third water path 173 and connected to the first water path 171, and a second connection port 1732 at the other end of the third water path 173 and connected to the second water path 172. The first connection port 1731 and the second connection port 1732 are both rectangular, and the height of the first connection port 1731 is smaller than the height of the second connection port 1732. Increasing the height of the second connection port 1732 allows the cooling water flowing through the second connection port 1732 to better flow into the oil cooler 4.

The first and second water paths 171 and 172 are disposed in parallel and perpendicular to the third water path 173. The first and second water paths 171 and 172 extend in parallel to the first central axis 1941. The cooling water pipeline includes water inlet and return water mouth (not numbered) of all locating the cylinder body front side, and water inlet and return water mouth all are linked together with water pump 3.

The cylinder block 1 further includes a cylinder jacket chamber surrounding the cylinder and communicating with the first water passage 171. The cylinder 1 includes a first cylinder 161 and a second cylinder 162 which is far from the front side 11 of the cylinder body than the first cylinder 161, and the cylinder jacket cavity includes a first cylinder jacket cavity 1612 surrounding the first cylinder 161 and a second cylinder jacket cavity 1622 surrounding the second cylinder 162. The cooling water pipe further includes a first communication hole 1611 connecting the first cylinder jacket chamber 1612 and the first water passage 171, and a second communication hole 1621 connecting the second cylinder jacket chamber 1622 and the first water passage 171. The aperture of the first communication hole 1611 is smaller than the aperture of the second communication hole 1621. This arrangement can make the amount of cooling water flowing into the first cylinder jacket cavity 1622 and the second cylinder jacket cavity 1612 almost the same.

The cylinder block 1 further includes a third cylinder 163 located closer to the block front side 11 than the first cylinder 161 and a fourth cylinder 164 located farther from the block front side 11 than the second cylinder 162. The cylinder jacket cavities also include a third cylinder jacket cavity 1632 surrounding the third cylinder 163 and a fourth cylinder jacket cavity 1642 surrounding the fourth cylinder 164. The cooling water line further includes a third communication hole 1631 connecting the third cylinder jacket chamber 1632 and the first water passage 171, and a fourth communication hole 1641 connecting the fourth cylinder jacket chamber 1642 and the first water passage 171. The first communication hole 1611 has an aperture equal to that of the third communication hole 1631, and the second communication hole 1621 has an aperture equal to that of the fourth communication hole 1641.

The second water path 172 is disposed in non-communication with the cylinder jacket chamber, and the third water path 173 is disposed in non-communication with the cylinder jacket chamber. This arrangement allows the cooling water path to flow through the cylinder jacket cavity and move up and into the cylinder head to form a water path (not shown). Meanwhile, the cooling water flowing out from the water pump 3 moves around the cylinder through the cooling water path and enters the water pump 3 again to form another water path, so that a good cooling effect can be achieved on the cylinder block 1. Although the number of cylinders in the present embodiment is four, other numbers of cylinders are also within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 12 to 18, the oil pump 7 rotates to suck oil in an oil pan (not shown) into an oil passage in the cylinder block 1 through the strainer 6. The cylinder block 1 is also provided with an oil suction port 1811 at the intake side 13 for sucking in lubricating oil and connected to the oil strainer 6.

The second oil passage 183 includes a second lateral section 1832 flowing from the oil filter into the cylinder block 1 and a first vertical section 1831 extending perpendicularly to and downward from the second lateral section 1832 and connected to the first connecting passage 623. The third oil path 184 includes a second vertical section 1841 flowing from the first connecting passage 623 into the cylinder block 1 and a third lateral section 1842 perpendicular to the second vertical section and flowing into the oil cooler 4. The fourth oil passage 188 extends in a direction perpendicular to the first center axis 1941 and is provided in a lateral direction. The fourth oil passage 188 connects the oil cooler 4 and the main oil gallery 185 such that the oil (or lubricating oil) in the oil cooler 4 flows into the main oil gallery 185 through the main oil gallery 185. Since the oil cooler 4 is supplied with cooling water, the cooling water can cool the oil flowing through the oil cooler 4. One end of the first connecting passage 623 is provided with a first extension 621 extending vertically, and the other end is provided with a second extension 622 extending vertically. The first extension 621 is connected to the second vertical section 1841, and the second extension 622 is connected to the first vertical section 1831.

The central axes of the first branch oil passage 1861 and the second branch oil passage 1862 are positioned on the same straight line and are disposed obliquely. The first branch oil passage 1861 and the second branch oil passage 1862 have the same diameter, and this arrangement enables the first branch oil passage 1861 and the second branch oil passage 1862 to be processed at one time. The center axis of the third branch oil passage 1863 is located in the lateral direction. Since the fourth branch oil passage and the third branch oil passage 1863 are not located on the same plane, the fourth branch oil passage is not seen in the cross-sectional view of fig. 11.

The cylinder block 1 is also provided with a vertically disposed fifth oil passage 181, and an oil suction port 1811 is provided at an end of the fifth oil passage 181. The other end of the fifth oil passage 181 is connected to the oil pump 7.
