Die Brennkraftmaschine weist mehrere Brennräumen in Form von Zylindern auf, in denen ein Luft/Kraftstoff-Gemisch exotherm umsetzbar ist und die von einem gemeinsamen Zylinderkopf begrenzt sind, wobei jedem Brennraum ein im Zylinderkopf ausgebildeter Auslasskanal zugeordnet ist und mehrere Auslasskanäle im Bereich eines Auslasskrümmers in einen gemeinsamen Zusammenflussbereich münden. Die erfindungsgemäße Brennkraftmaschine beinhaltet einen gemeinsamen Zusammenflussbereich für Abgase, der auf einer ersten Seite durch wenigstens eine Wandung des Zylinderkopfes und auf einer zweiten Seite durch ein separates, an den Zylinderkopf außenseitig angebrachtes Schalenelement begrenzt ist, wobei das Schalenelement zur Führung der Abgasströmung wenigstens abschnittweise trichterförmig und/oder wannenförmig gewölbt ausgeführt ist. Dabei sind auf der ersten Seite des gemeinsamen Zusammenflussbereichs bevorzugt mehrere Auslasskanäle vorgesehen, die als Bestandteile des Zylinderkopfes insbesondere durch Gussverfahren einstückig ausgeführt sind und in den gemeinsamen Zusammenflussbereich münden. Zur Bildung des gemeinsamen Zusammenflussbereichs ist an dem Zylinderkopf außenseitig eine wannenförmige Vertiefung vorgesehen, die bevorzugt durch mehrere einstückig vergossene Wandungen des Zylinderkopfes begrenzt bzw. definiert ist. Die wannenförmige Vertiefung ist mittels des Schalenelements nach außen hin dichtend abgeschlossen, sodass sich zwischen der Vertiefung seitens des Zylinderkopfes und dem Schalenelement ein Raumvolumen ergibt, in dem mehrere Abgasströme vereinigt und umgelenkt werden können. Dieses Raumvolumen ist somit teils innerhalb des Zylinderkopfes und teils außerhalb des Zylinderkopfes gebildet wobei das Schalenelement doppelwandig ausgeführt ist.The internal combustion engine has a plurality of combustion chambers in the form of cylinders in which an air / fuel mixture can be exothermically converted and which are delimited by a common cylinder head, wherein each combustion chamber is assigned an exhaust duct formed in the cylinder head and a plurality of exhaust ducts in the region of an exhaust manifold common confluence area. The internal combustion engine according to the invention includes a common confluence region for exhaust gases, which is bounded on a first side by at least one wall of the cylinder head and on a second side by a separate, externally attached to the cylinder head shell element, the shell element for guiding the exhaust gas flow at least partially funnel-shaped and / or trough-shaped curved executed. In this case, a plurality of outlet channels are preferably provided on the first side of the common confluence region, which are embodied in one piece as components of the cylinder head, in particular by casting methods, and open into the common confluence region. To form the common confluence region, a trough-shaped recess is provided on the cylinder head on the outside, which is preferably bounded or defined by a plurality of integrally cast walls of the cylinder head. The trough-shaped depression is sealed off by means of the shell element to the outside, so that between the depression on the part of the cylinder head and the shell element results in a volume of space in which a plurality of exhaust gas streams can be combined and deflected.

Der im Wesentlichen ringförmige Montageflansch definiert eine ebene oder gewölbte Trennebene zwischen Zylinderkopf und Schalenelement, wobei die Trennebene den Zusammenflussbereich bzw. das Raumvolumen durchgreift und geometrisch unterteilt. Der Rohrflansch ist zumindest hinsichtlich einer geometrischen Abmessung, insbesondere hinsichtlich einer maximalen Quererstreckung und/oder seines Durchmessers und/oder des durchströmbaren Querschnitts kleiner gestaltet als der Montageflansch.In one embodiment of the invention, a mounting flange for the sealed fastening of the shell element on the cylinder head and an outlet opening with a pipe flange for mounting an exhaust pipe or an exhaust gas cleaning unit are provided on the shell element on the one hand, wherein mounting flange and pipe flange have different dimensions. The substantially annular mounting flange defines a planar or curved separating plane between the cylinder head and the shell element, wherein the parting plane passes through the geometric area or the volume of space and subdivides it geometrically. The pipe flange is designed to be smaller than the mounting flange, at least with regard to a geometric dimension, in particular with regard to a maximum transverse extent and / or its diameter and / or the flow-through cross section.

Der beschriebenen Mehrzahl von sechs Auslasskanälen 2 einer Zylinderbank ist im Bereich eines Auslasskrümmers 3 ein gemeinsamer Zusammenflussbereich 3a zugeordnet, in dem die durch die Auslasskanäle 2 geführten Abgasströme vereinigt werden. Der gemeinsame Zusammenflussbereich 3a ist auf einer ersten Seite A durch eine Wandung 1a des Zylinderkopfes 1 begrenzt. Die Wandung 1a des Zylinderkopfs ist im Wesentlichen wannen- oder topfförmig ausgeführt und von einer Montagefläche 1b ringförmig umgeben. Innerhalb der Wandung 1a sind Durchlässe zu den Auslasskanälen 2 gebildet, die ausgehend von einer entlang der ringförmigen Montagefläche 1b zu definierenden, nicht ringförmigen Trennfläche T zurückgesetzt angeordnet sind.The described plurality of six
Auf einer zweiten Seite B ist der Zusammenflussbereich 3a durch ein separates, an den Zylinderkopf außenseitig angebrachtes Schalenelement 4 begrenzt ist, das als Bestandteil des Auslasskrümmers 3 den Zusammenflussbereich 3a nach außen hin begrenzt. Das Schalenelement 4 ist bevorzugt aus einem temperaturbeständigen Metallblech, insbesondere aus einem Stahlblech, oder als Metallgussteil hergestellt und wenigstens abschnittsweise trichterförmig und/oder wannenförmig gewölbt ausgeführt. Seine einfache Form ermöglicht eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung des Schalenelements. In einem modifizierten Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Schalenelement eine umlaufende ringförmige Nut auf, die im Bereich der wannenförmigen Montagefläche in den Zylinderkopf eingreift. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Schalenelement doppelwandig ausgeführt. In wiederum einem weiteren, modifizierten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Schalenelement vergleichsweise schmal ausgeführt, wodurch die Abdichtung zwischen dem Zylinderkopf und dem Schalenelement verbessert ist.On a second side B, the confluence region 3a is provided by a separate, externally attached to the cylinder
Das Schalenelement 4 weist zur insbesondere lösbaren Befestigung mittels Schrauben einen Montageflansch 4a auf, der anliegend an die Montagefläche 1b gestaltet ist.

Beabstandet von der Trennebene T und beabstandet vom Zylinderkopf 1 ist an dem Schalenelement 4 ein Rohrflansch 4b vorgesehen, dessen durchströmbarer Querschnitt sich hinsichtlich wesentlicher geometrischer Abmessungen von demjenigen des Montageflansches 4a unterscheidet. In bevorzugter Weise weist der Rohrflansch einen im Wesentlichen kreisförmigen Durchlassquerschnitt auf, sodass unmittelbar angrenzend ein zylindrisches Rohrelement montierbar ist. Das Rohrelement kann dabei Bestandteil einer Abgasrohrleitung und/oder einer Abgasreinigungseinheit (Katalysator, Filter oder dergleichen) sein.Spaced apart from the parting plane T and spaced from the
Die wannenförmige Vertiefung ist mittels des Schalenelements 4 nach außen hin dichtend abgeschlossen, sodass sich zwischen der Vertiefung seitens des Zylinderkopfes 1 und dem Schalenelement 4 ein Raumvolumen ergibt, in dem mehrere Abgasströme vereinigt, umgelenkt und an ein nachgeschaltetes Abgassystem weitergeleitet werden können. Dieses Raumvolumen ist somit teils innerhalb des Zylinderkopfes (Seite A) und teils außerhalb des Zylinderkopfes (Seite B) gebildet, wodurch sich zum einen ein besonders einfacher und kostengünstig realisierbarer Aufbau aus zwei näherungsweise vertikal unterteilten Hälften ergibt. Zum anderen lässt sich durch konstruktive Maßnahmen, z.B. Dimensionierung von Form und Tiefe des Schalenelements sowie der korrespondierenden Vertiefung seitens des Zylinderkopfes 1 ein gewünschtes Wärmeübertragungsverhalten einstellen. Vor allem beim Kaltstart der Brennkraftmaschine ist erfindungsgemäß ein Wärmeeintrag ins Kühlwasser gegenüber einer voll in den Zylinderkopf integrierten Ausführung des Abgaskrümmers reduziert, sodass sich eine schnellere Erwärmung nachgeschalteter Abgasreinigungseinheiten ergibt.The trough-shaped depression is sealingly closed towards the outside by means of the
