Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cylinder block having an enlarged inlet for its internal coolant circuit, this cylinder housing being intended to equip the internal combustion engines including those of a motor vehicle.
  • An internal combustion engine gives off heat during its operation and therefore needs to be cooled. This is done by integrating an internal circuit of coolant, the coolant being advantageously water-based.
  • a crankcase comprises cylinders serving as combustion chambers of the engine which heat up in operation.
  • the internal coolant circuit has at least one coolant chamber, preferably one liquid chamber per cylinder. The liquid flows through this or these chambers by performing a heat exchange with heat removal out of the cylinder block but also a standardization of temperatures inside the cylinder block.
  • the coolant chamber or chambers are thus arranged close to a cylinder so as to circulate the cooling liquid close to it.
  • the internal coolant circuit also has an inlet and a coolant outlet, the inlet introducing into the cylinder block a coolant at a lower temperature than that of the coolant discharged through the outlet.
  • the flow of the coolant through the internal circuit in the cylinder block is important to ensure sufficient cooling of the combustion chamber or chambers in the crankcase. A large flow is favored by a wide inlet of the cooling circuit.
  • the inlet of the internal coolant circuit in the cylinder block is housed in a receiving element forming part of the cylinder block and intended to receive inside an external coolant supply, for example by insertion into this element receiving an output of an external coolant circuit that includes a pump.
  • the internal configuration that must take the receiving element of the external circuit can reduce the size of the input of the internal circuit and thus the flow of coolant in the internal circuit.
  • the section of the input may not be sufficient to ensure the passage of the flow created by the pump of the external circuit.
  • the coolant inlet should have a sufficient section in the crankcase to supply liquid to the engine with a variable-flow coolant pump, even for the highest flow rate of the pump.
  • One possibility would be to shift the receiving element into a place where it could offer more area to the input of the internal circuit or to increase the dimensions of the receiving element.
  • a cylinder block has manufacturing constraints that must be respected and that do not allow to make such changes on the cylinder block.
  • the document EP-B-0 851 109 discloses a coolant-cooled type internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder located in the engine crankcase and an internal coolant circuit integrated in the crankcase. This internal circuit includes a portion surrounding the cylinder and thus forming a coolant chamber.
  • the input of this circuit is a through hole provided at the outer wall of the motor facing the internal circuit.
  • the object of the present invention is, on the one hand, to design a cylinder block having an inlet for its coolant circuit section sufficiently large to allow the passage of the entire fluid of cooling that sends the pump of the external circuit and, secondly, that this adaptation is compatible with the manufacturing process of the cylinder block and constraints that the outer shape of the cylinder block must comply.
  • a combustion engine cylinder block having at least one cylinder and incorporating an internal circuit of coolant, the internal circuit having an inlet, an outlet and at least one chamber of liquid cooling device arranged near said at least one cylinder so as to circulate the cooling liquid in the vicinity of said at least one cylinder, the inlet of said circuit being formed through an inner housing defined by a receiving element forming part of the cylinder block and intended to receive an external supply of cooling liquid, characterized in that the inner housing is provided with a protuberance or local modification for increasing the passage area of the inlet of the internal cooling circuit.
  • protuberance and local modification are to be understood in the broad sense as any modification in the wall of the housing which increases the passage section of the inlet of the cooling circuit opening into said housing.
  • the technical effect obtained is the increase of the passage section of the inlet of the internal coolant circuit, this in a simple manner and without the need to change completely the manufacturing process of the crankcase or the configuration of the crankcase. cylinder, its outer shape and the positioning of the various parts of the cylinder block remaining unchanged.
  • the inner housing of the receiving element is cylindrical and the protuberance or local modification is a flat in the cylindrical wall of said element at the input of the circuit.
  • the wall of the housing is modified to locally not be cylindrical but have a right side that will expand the inlet section of the cooling fluid.
  • the housing is according to the invention the housing of a pump for the recirculation of coolant. It can therefore be closed at one of its ends.
  • the inner housing of the receiving element is cylindrical while being closed at one of its ends, the inlet of the internal circuit having a portion of passage made on the edge of the cylinder, the protuberance lying at this passage portion and having an opening extending said passage portion.
  • the protuberance is substantially in the form of a hollow rectangular parallelepiped resting on the closed end of the inner housing by one of its faces while its opposite face has the opening extending said passage portion.
  • the protuberance and the closed end are of the same holding.
  • the present invention also relates to an assembly of an external coolant circuit and a cylinder block, the external cooling circuit being connected to the internal circuit of the coolant of the cylinder block and comprising a pump for the circulation of the coolant. cooling in its interior and in the internal circuit of the cylinder block, characterized in that the cylinder block is as previously mentioned.
  • the present invention relates to a motor vehicle, characterized in that it comprises such an assembly of a coolant circuit and a cylinder block.
  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing such a cylinder block being carried out by molding in a mold, characterized in that the part of the mold corresponding to the inner housing of the receiving element of the cylinder block comprises a re-entrant shape corresponding to the protuberance for increasing the surface of the inlet passage of the internal circuit of coolant.
  • the re-entrant form is a flat part.
  • the flat is disposed on two complementary parts of the mold.
  • the method is a process for molding under pressure or by gravity.
  • the receiving element 2 of the cylinder block 1 is shown separately from the rest of the cylinder block 1. This receiving element however forms an integral part of the cylinder block 1 as can be seen in FIG. figure 3 .
  • this figure shows, for a combustion engine cylinder casing 1, the receiving element 2 of the output of an external coolant circuit excluding the remainder of the cylinder block 1, this receiving element being in conformity with the state of the art.
  • the external coolant circuit serves as external coolant supply of the cylinder block 1, the cooling liquid being advantageously water-based with or without additive.
  • the cylinder block 1 integrates an internal coolant circuit, this internal circuit having an inlet 3a and a liquid passage outlet and at least one coolant chamber disposed near said at least one cylinder. This makes it possible to circulate the coolant in the vicinity of the at least one cylinder for cooling it.
  • the receiving element 2 has a receiving housing 2a in its interior.
  • This receiving housing 2a may advantageously be of substantially cylindrical shape being closed at one of its ends 5.
  • the housing 2a receives the output of the external cooling liquid circuit and communicates it with the internal circuit of the internal cooling liquid to the housing cylinder via its entry 3a passage.
  • the entry 3a passage through the housing 2a to open inside the cylinder block 1 and communicate with the rest of the internal circuit of coolant to the cylinder block 1.
  • the slice of the cylinder forming the receiving housing 2a and its curvature limit the dimensions of the inlet 3a passage, which is very disadvantageous, the flow created by a pump disposed in the external cooling fluid circuit being reduced during the passage of the fluid through this inlet 3a.
  • FIG. 2 which illustrates a cylinder block 1 according to the present invention
  • the outer dimensions of the receiving member 2 and the cylinder block 1 are retained.
  • the inner receiving housing 2a which generally retains its shape, advantageously cylindrical, with the difference that the receiving housing 2a has a protuberance 4 to increase the surface of the inlet 3 passage of the circuit internal cooling in the cylinder block 1.
  • the protuberance 4 is advantageously at this passage portion and has a passage opening 6 extending said portion of passage.
  • the protuberance 4 is substantially in the form of a hollow rectangular parallelepiped resting on the closed end 5 of the receiving housing 2a inside by one of its faces while its opposite face has the opening 6 extending the passage portion through the edge of the cylinder formed by the receiving housing 2a.
  • the protuberance 4 and the closed end 5 of the receiving housing 2a inside the receiving element 2 are in the same holding.
  • Such a protuberance 4 may make it possible to increase the passage section of the inlet 3 by 10 to 50%, for example by making it, for example, pass from a surface area of 500 mm 2 obtained according to the state of the art. at an area of 687 mm 2 according to the present invention.
  • the figure 3 allows to see the positioning of the receiving element 2 on the cylinder block 1, the receiving housing 2a inside this receiving element 2 being provided with an enlarged inlet formed in the protuberance 4 at the passage portion shown in FIG. figure 1 and having an opening 6 extending said passage portion.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a cylinder block 1 made by molding in a mold.
  • the part of the mold corresponding to the inner housing 2a of the receiving element 2 forming part of the cylinder block 1 comprises a re-entrant shape corresponding to the protuberance 4 making it possible to increase the surface area of the passage entrance of the internal coolant circuit. .
  • This re-entrant shape makes it possible to obtain the creation of the protuberance 4 during molding.
  • the reentrant form is in the form of a flat.
  • the mold is in several parts and the flat is disposed on two complementary parts of the mold.
  • the molding process of a cylinder block is usually an underpressure molding process.
