Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Brennkraftmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs
1. Bei einer derartigen aus der Schrift GB 337 475 bekannten
Brennkraftmaschine der Hubkolbenmotorenbauart sind 3 Zylinderbänke mit jeweils
6 in Reihe angeordneten Zylindern V-förmig zueinander in einem Kurbelgehäuse
angeordnet.The invention relates to an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of the
Zur Kühlung der Brennkraftmaschine ist dabei eine Wasserpumpe vorgesehen, die an einer Stirnseite des Kurbelgehäuses angeordnet ist und die zwei Auslaßkanäle aufweist, an die entsprechende Kühlkanäle zu den einzelnen Zylinderbänken angeschlossen sind. Dabei ist ein erster Auslaßkanal der Wasserpumpe mit Kühlkanälen zur linksliegenden äußeren Zylinderbank und über eine Verzweigung mit einem Kühlkanal zum pumpenfernen hinteren Teil der mittleren Zylinderbank verbunden. Der zweite Auslaßkanal der Wasserpumpe ist an entsprechende Kühlkanäle der rechtsliegenden äußeren Zylinderbank und über eine Verzweigung an einen Kühlkanal zur Versorgung des vorderen, pumpennahen Teils der mittleren Zylinderbank angeschlossen. Die Rück- bzw. Abführung des Kühlwassers aus dem Motor erfolgt dabei über externe Rücklaufsammelleitungen.A water pump is provided for cooling the internal combustion engine, which is arranged on an end face of the crankcase and the two outlet channels has, to the corresponding cooling channels to the individual cylinder banks are connected. There is a first outlet channel of the water pump with cooling channels to the left outer cylinder bank and via a branch with a cooling channel to the rear of the central cylinder bank remote from the pump. The second outlet channel of the water pump is connected to corresponding cooling channels the right-hand outer cylinder bank and via a branch a cooling channel to supply the front, pump-near part of the middle Cylinder bank connected. The return or discharge of the cooling water the engine is carried out via external return manifolds.
Dabei weist die bekannte Brennkraftmaschine jedoch den Nachteil auf, daß die Wasserpumpe zur Versorgung des Aggregates mit Kühlwasser außerhalb des eigentlichen Baumaßes des Kurbelgehäuses zusätzlich an diesem befestigt ist und so die Einbaumaße der Brennkraftmaschine vergrößert. Da bei der Verwendung derartiger Brennkraftmaschinen als Triebwerk eines Fahrzeuges, insbesondere eines PKW jedoch nur ein begrenzter Einbauraum zur Verfügung steht, genügt die bekannte Brennkraftmaschinen den aktuellen Erfordernissen an moderne Brennkraftmaschinen nicht mehr.However, the known internal combustion engine has the disadvantage that the Water pump to supply the unit with cooling water outside the actual size of the crankcase is additionally attached to this and so increases the installation dimensions of the internal combustion engine. Because in use Such internal combustion engines as the engine of a vehicle, in particular a car, however, only a limited installation space is available the well-known internal combustion engines meet the current requirements for modern Internal combustion engines no longer.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Brennkraftmaschine der Hubkolbenmotorenbauart mit V-förmig zueinander angeordneten Zylinderbänken derart weiterzubilden, daß notwendige Zusatzuaggregate den Gesamtbauraum des Motors nicht wesentlich vergrößern.The invention is therefore based on the object of an internal combustion engine Reciprocating engine design with V-shaped cylinder banks to develop such that the necessary additional units the total space of the motor do not enlarge significantly.
Diese Aufgabe wird von einer Brennkraftmaschine der o.g. Art mit den in Anspruch
1 gekennzeichneten Merkmalen gelöst.This task is performed by an internal combustion engine of the abovementioned. Kind with the
Die erfindungsgemäße Brennkraftmaschine der o.g. Art mit den kennzeichnenden
Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 hat gegenüber den bekannten Lösungen den
Vorteil, daß die Pumpen für die Kühlflüssigkeit in den vorhandenen Bauraum an
der Brennkraftmaschine integriert sind und so keinen zusätzlichen Platzbedarf
verursachen.The internal combustion engine according to the invention of the above. Kind with the distinctive
Features of
Dies wird dabei in vorteilhafter Weise durch die Anordnung der Pumpen in den zwischen den Zylinderbänken gebildeten V-förmigen Zwischenräumen am Kurbelgehäuse erreicht, wobei die Pumpen direkt am Kurbelgehäuse befestigt sind, was zudem kurze Förderwege zur Folge hat.This is advantageously done by the arrangement of the pumps in the V-shaped spaces on the crankcase formed between the cylinder banks reached, with the pumps attached directly to the crankcase, what also results in short funding routes.
Dabei sind im Ausführungsbeispiel, das beispielhaft eine Brennkraftmaschine mit drei V-förmig zueinander angeordneten Zylinderbänken mit jeweils sechs Zylindern aufweist, zwei als Wasserpumpen ausgebildete Pumpen in den V-förmigen Zwischenräumen der Zylinderbänke angeordnet es können jedoch alternativ auch mehr Pumpen, z.B. vier Pumpen oder nur eine einzige Pumpe vorgesehen sein. Darüberhinaus ist es alternativ auch möglich andere Förderaggregate (z.B. Ölpumpe o.ä.) für Betriebsstoffe der Brennkraftmaschine in Kombination mit den Wasserpumpen in die V-förmigen Zwischenräume einzusetzen.The exemplary embodiment includes an internal combustion engine three cylinder banks arranged in a V-shape, each with six cylinders has, designed as water pumps in the V-shaped pumps Intermediate spaces of the cylinder banks can alternatively also be arranged more pumps, e.g. four pumps or only a single pump may be provided. In addition, it is alternatively possible to use other delivery units (e.g. oil pump or similar) for operating materials of the internal combustion engine in combination with the Insert water pumps in the V-shaped spaces.
Die im Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellten zwei Wasserpumpen sind dabei nebeneinanderliegend in zwei benachbarten V-förmigen Zwischenräumen angeordnet, es ist jedoch auch möglich, diese axial hintereinanderliegend oder versetzt zueinander unterzubringen. Wesentlich ist dabei, daß die in die V-förmigen Zwischenräume eingesetzten Wasserpumpen nicht oder nur unwesentlich über das Maß des Kurbelgehäuses hinausragen, so daß zusätzlicher Bauraum durch diese Aggregate vermieden werden kann und die Brennkraftmaschine in ihrer Gesamtheit kleiner baut. The two water pumps shown in the embodiment are side by side arranged in two adjacent V-shaped spaces, however, it is also possible to arrange them axially one behind the other or offset from one another accommodate. It is essential that the in the V-shaped spaces used water pumps not or only slightly above the dimension of the crankcase protrude, so that additional space through these units can be avoided and the internal combustion engine in its entirety builds smaller.
Die Pumpen sind dabei im Ausführungsbeispiel über eine entsprechende Flanschverbindung senkrecht zu ihrer Achse am Kurbelgehäuse befestigt, es ist alternativ jedoch auch möglich die Pumpen axial zu befestigen.The pumps are in the exemplary embodiment via a corresponding flange connection attached to the crankcase perpendicular to its axis, it is an alternative but also possible to fix the pumps axially.
Ein weiterer Vorteil wird durch den nicht näher beschriebenen direkten Antrieb der Pumpen über einen gemeinsamen Mittenantrieb an der Brennkraftmaschine erreicht, wobei dieser vorzugsweise reine Zahnradantrieb in der Mitte des Kurbelgehäuses in Richtung dessen Längserstreckung angeordnet ist. Dies wird in vorteilhafter Weise durch eine Teilung der innenliegenden mittleren Zylinderbank möglich, wodurch der notwendige Bauraum für einen derartigen Mittenantrieb geschaffen wird. Der mittige Pumpenantrieb hat dabei neben einer Einsparung von Bauraum für einen zusätzlichen Antrieb, z.B. einen Riementrieb den weiteren Vorteil, daß die Pumpen bei vorstehend beschriebener freien Auswahl der Anordnung in den V-förmigen Zwischenräumen direkt über einen gemeinsamen Antrieb angetrieben werden können.Another advantage is the direct drive, not described in detail Pumps achieved via a common center drive on the internal combustion engine, this preferably pure gear drive in the middle of the crankcase is arranged in the direction of its longitudinal extent. This will be more advantageous Way by dividing the internal central cylinder bank possible, which creates the necessary space for one such center drive is created. The central pump drive has one Saving space for an additional drive, e.g. a belt drive Another advantage that the pumps with the free selection of the above described Arrangement in the V-shaped spaces directly via a common drive can be driven.
Da aufgrund der geteilten Bauform der mittleren Zylinderbank eine direkte Durchströmung von Kühlwasser durch diese nicht mehr möglich ist, erfolgt die Kühlwasserzufuhr zum hinteren, den Pumpen abgewandten Teil der mittleren Zylinderbank nunmehr in vorteilhafter Weise über die benachbarten äußeren Zylinderbänke. Dazu strömt das von den Pumpen geförderte Kühlwasser über entsprechende Verzweigungen jeweils in den angrenzenden Teil der mittleren, innenliegenden Zylinderbank und in die jeweilige außenliegende Zylinderbank. Die außenliegenden Zylinderbänke werden durchströmt und an entsprechenden Verzweigungen strömt dann das Kühlwasser aus diesen über in den hinteren Teil der mittleren Zylinderbank. Dabei sind die Kühlwasserkanäle zwischen den Wasserpumpen und alllen Zylinderbänken in vorteilhafter Weise in das Kurbelgehäuse integriert, so daß auf externe Leitungen verzichtet werden kann.Because of the split design of the middle cylinder bank, there is a direct flow of cooling water through this is no longer possible, the cooling water is supplied to the rear part of the middle cylinder bank facing away from the pumps is now more advantageous Way across the adjacent outer cylinder banks. This flows from the pumps pumped cooling water via appropriate branches in each case in the adjacent part the middle, inner cylinder bank and into the respective outer cylinder bank. The external cylinder banks are flowed through and at corresponding The cooling water then flows out of these branches into the rear part of the branches middle cylinder bank. The cooling water channels are between the water pumps and Alllen cylinder banks advantageously integrated into the crankcase, so that on external lines can be dispensed with.
Aufgrund der hohen Leistungsanforderungen an die Förderaggregate der Kühlflüssigkeit sind die Wasserpumpen vorzugsweise 3-stufig aufgebaut, wobei über die jeweils geänderte Schaufelradgeometrie verschiedene Druckerhöhungsstufen während der Förderung realisiert werden. Darüber hinaus ist es mit einem entsprechenden Getriebe auch möglich, die Antriebsdrehzahl und somit die Förderleistung der Pumpe variabel zu regeln.Due to the high performance requirements for the delivery units of the coolant the water pumps are preferably constructed in 3 stages, with the respective modified Bucket wheel geometry realized different pressure increase levels during the conveyance become. In addition, it is also possible with an appropriate gearbox Variable drive speed and thus the delivery rate of the pump.
Das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt einen 18-Zylindermotor mit drei Zylinderbänken zu je sechs Zylindern in Reihe, wobei die Zylinderbänke V-förmig zueinander angeordnet sind.The exemplary embodiment shows an 18-cylinder engine with three cylinder banks of six each Cylinders in series, the cylinder banks being arranged in a V-shape with respect to one another.
Diese Anordnung hat dabei hinsichtlich der Kühlwasserführung bei der Verwendung von zwei nebeneinander in benachbarten Zwischenräumen angeordneten Wasserpumpen den Vorteil, daß die Kanalgeometrie der Wasserführungen im wesentlichen symmetrisch ausgebildet sein kann und sich somit gleiche Kühlverhältnisse erreichen lassen.This arrangement has the cooling water flow when using two water pumps arranged side by side in adjacent spaces have the advantage that the channel geometry of the water channels are essentially symmetrical can and thus achieve the same cooling conditions.
Es ist jedoch alternativ auch möglich, die beschriebene Anordnung von Pumpen in den V-förmigen Zwischenräumen zwischen den Zylinderbänken an Brennkraftmaschinen mit nur zwei V-förmig zueinander angeordneten Zylinderbänken oder an Brennkraftmaschinen mit mehr als drei Zylinderbänken vorzusehen. However, it is alternatively also possible to arrange the pumps in the V-shaped arrangement as described Gaps between the cylinder banks on internal combustion engines with only two V-shaped cylinder banks arranged with each other or on internal combustion engines to provide more than three cylinder banks.

Zylinderbank 3, wobei dort ein Teil des Kühlwassers über die linksliegenden drei Zylinder in
die Rücklaufleitung 24 abströmt und ein weiterer Teil zu den rechtsliegenden drei Zylindern
innerhalb der ersten Zylinderbank 3 strömt. Dabei teilt sich dieser Kühlstrom erneut, wobei
