Definitions
- This invention relates to a diesel engine cylinder head particularly suitable for use in high-speed diesel engines with high specific power, in which very high temperatures are encountered in certain cylinder head regions.
- a diesel engine cylinder head is known to comprise a plurality of precombustion chambers, the surfaces of which are formed partly in the head and partly on plugs, each of which is inserted into a corresponding seat provided in the head and is provided with a discharge bore to the corresponding engine combustion chamber.
- the cylinder head there is also provided a plurality of air intake and exhaust gas discharge ducts to and from said combustion chamber, the ports of which are controlled by corresponding intake and exhaust valves.
- the cylinder head is delimited lowerly by a flat surface arranged to rest on a corresponding flat surface of the engine block, the bores in the precombustion chamber plugs and the intake and discharge ducts opening into the flat surface which lowerly delimits the cylinder head.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a diesel engine cylinder head which is able to operate correctly without the aforesaid drawbacks, even when used on high-speed diesel engines of high specific power in which temperatures of the aforesaid order are attained.
- the present invention therefore provides a diesel engine cylinder head comprising a plurality of precombustion chambers the surfaces of which are formed partly in said cylinder head and partly on plugs, each of which is inserted into a corresponding seat provided in the cylinder head and is provided with a discharge bore to the corresponding engine combustion chamber, and further comprising a plurality of pairs of air intake and exhaust gas discharge ducts to and from said combustion chamber, the ports of which are controlled by corresponding intake and exhaust valves, said cylinder head being delimited lowerly by a flat surface arranged to rest on a corresponding flat surface on the engine block, said bores in the precombustion chamber plugs and said intake and discharge ducts opening into said flat surface of the cylinder head, characterised in that in said cylinder head there is provided a plurality of cavities each of which extends from the lower edge of one of said plugs to the corresponding intake and discharge ducts, so that said cavity is at least partly delimited by said lower edge of the corresponding plug.
- the cylinder head according to the invention comprises a plurality of precombustion chambers 2, each of which is delimited by a surface portion 3 provided on the cylinder head itself, and surface portions 4 provided on corresponding plugs 5, each of which is inserted into a seat 6 in the cylinder head and is provided with a discharge bore 7 towards the corresponding combustion chamber 8 of the engine.
- Said surface portions are conveniently portions of a spherical surface, so as to generate a turbulence in the flow of fuel injected into said chamber by a corresponding injector 9.
- the fuel which commences its combustion in the precombustion chamber is projected into the combustion chamber 8 through the bores 7 in the plugs 5, where combustion is completed.
- a preheating heater plug 10 is arranged to heat the inner region of the precombustion chamber during the engine cold start stage.
- the cylinder head 1 there is also provided a plurality of pairs of air intake ducts 13 and exhaust gas discharge ducts 14 the ports of which are controlled by corresponding intake and exhaust valves 15 and 16 respectively.
- the axes of the intake and discharge ducts are on opposite sides of the axis of the relative precombustion chamber, with respect to the cylinder axis, and said ducts are separated by a bridge of the same material as the cylinder head.
- the cylinder head 1 is delimited lowerly by a flat surface 18 arranged to rest on a corresponding flat surface of the engine block 10.
- the bores 7 of the plugs 4 and the intake and discharge ducts open into said flat surface of the cylinder head.
- each cavity 20 extends from the lower edge 22 of one of the plugs 4 to the corresponding intake and discharge ducts 13 and 14 respectively, so that the cavity is at least partly delimited by the lower edge 22, as clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2.
- each cavity 20 extends from the lower edge 22 of one of the plugs 4 to the interior of the corresponding intake and discharge ducts 13 and 14, as can be seen from Figures 2 and 4. In this case the cavity extends into the material of the bridge 17 between the ducts 13 and 14.
- Each of the cavities 20 is delimited lowerly by a flat surface 23 ( Figure 1) parallel to the surface 18 which lowerly delimits the cylinder head 1.
- the cylinder head is provided with annular shoulders 25 each of which is arranged to form a stop for a corresponding annular projection on one of the plugs 4.
- the distance between the surfaces 18 and 23 is less than the height of said projection measured in the direction of the axis of the plug 4.
- the distance between said two surfaces is preferably less than 3 mm.
- Each of the cavities 20 can be formed by chip-forming machining, such as milling. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 this cavity is delimited laterally by portions 26 of a curved surface of revolution having its axis parallel to the axis of the engine cylinder. In the case of the embodiment illustrated, this axis coincides with the cylinder axis.
- a cavity having such a form can be obtained by a cylindrical miller rotated about an axis coinciding with said cylinder axis.
- each cavity is formed by a cylindrical miller which is rotated about an axis parallel to the surface 18 which lowerly delimits the cylinder head 1.
- each cavity is delimited laterally by flat surface portions 27 ( Figure 4) and cylindrical surface portions 28 having the same axis as the miller.
- combustion originates in the precombustion chamber 2 when, at the end of the compression stroke, atomised fuel is injected into said chamber by the injector 9. Part of the fuel burns in the precombustion chamber to produce a sudden pressure increase with the result that the as yet unburnt fuel is projected into the combustion chamber 8 through the bore 7. Combustion is completed in this second chamber.
- each of the bores 7 which have their axis inclined to the cylinder axis, and this would tend to graze the surface 18 lowerly delimiting the cylinder head 1 if this were not provided with the cavities 20, and as it does in the case of cylinder heads of the prior art.
- the lower surface 23 of each cavity 20 is at a certain distance from the surface 18 which lowerly delimits the cylinder head 1 and thus the flame leaving the bores 7 does not make direct contact with the surface 23, so substantially reducing the heat transfer from the flame to the cylinder head in the region lying between the precombustion chamber and the intake and discharge ducts 13 and 14.
- each of the cavities 20 should be sufficiently large to include at least part of the bridges 17 between the intake and discharge ducts 13 and 14. In this respect, these regions are also critical and therefore only if the size of each cavity 20 is chosen so as to include the said regions can cracking and abnormal deformation be prevented in them.
