B. Abgas oder Druckluft) aus der Verbrennungskammer auf. Der Zylinderkopf weist einen Kühlkanal für ein Kühlfluid (z. B. Wasser, Wasser-Kühlmittel-Gemisch oder Öl) zum Kühlen des Zylinderkopfes auf. Der Zylinderkopf weist mindestens eine Materialaussparung zur Wärmeisolation auf, die in einem Hauptkörper des Zylinderkopfes (z. B. durch Gießen des Zylinderkopfes) gebildet ist. Die mindestens eine Materialaussparung ist zwischen dem Fluidführungskanal und dem Kühlkanal angeordnet ist. Die mindestens eine Materialaussparung ist durch den Hauptkörper getrennt von dem Fluidführungskanal angeordnet (z. B. durch einen Stützbereich des Hauptkörpers zum Stützen des Fluidführungskanals im Hauptkörper).The invention provides a cylinder head (e.g. single-cylinder cylinder head or multi-cylinder cylinder head) for covering a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The cylinder head has a fluid duct for supplying a fluid (e.g. intake air, charge air and/or air-fuel mixture) to the combustion chamber or for discharging a fluid (e.g. exhaust gas or compressed air) from the combustion chamber. The cylinder head has a cooling channel for a cooling fluid (e.g. water, water-coolant mixture or oil) for cooling the cylinder head. The cylinder head has at least one material recess Heat insulation formed in a main body of the cylinder head (e.g. by casting the cylinder head). The at least one material recess is arranged between the fluid duct and the cooling duct. The at least one material recess is arranged by the main body separated from the fluid conducting channel (e.g. by a support area of the main body for supporting the fluid conducting channel in the main body).
Die mindestens eine Materialaussparung kann einfach, z. B. direkt beim Urformen (z. B. Gießen) des Hauptkörpers des Zylinderkopfes und/oder anschließend daran, gefertigt werden. Die Materialaussparung kann je nach Ausführung des Fluidführungskanals unterschiedliche Vorteile bieten. Die Vorteile beruhen jeweils auf einer (teilweisen) thermischen Entkoppelung des Fluidführungskanals und des Kühlkanals durch die mindestens eine wärmeisolierende Materialaussparung. Bspw. kann in dem Fall, in dem Abgas durch den Fluidführungskanal geführt wird, ein deutlich geringerer Wärmeeintrag vom heißen Abgas in das Kühlfluid erfolgen. Dies führt zu einer Verringerung des Kühlbedarfs, was eine verbesserte Auslegung des Kühlsystems ermöglicht. Dadurch lässt sich beispielsweise ein Kraftstoffverbrauch der Brennkraftmaschine verringern, zum Beispiel auch durch Energieeinsparungen beim Antreiben einer Kühlmittelpumpe. Daneben führt die thermische Entkopplung dazu, dass das heiße Abgas weniger stark im Fluidführungskanal abkühlt. Dadurch steht mehr Abgasenthalpie für einen gegebenenfalls stromabwärts angeordneten Abgasturbolader und/oder eine Abgasnachbehandlungsvorrichtung zur Verfügung. Dies ermöglicht eine verbesserte Auslegung und verbesserte Wirkungsgrade dieser Komponenten sowie eine Verringerung des Kraftstoffverbrauchs.The at least one material recess can easily, for. e.g. directly during the primary forming (e.g. casting) of the main body of the cylinder head and/or subsequently thereto. Depending on the design of the fluid duct, the material recess can offer different advantages. The advantages are based in each case on a (partial) thermal decoupling of the fluid-guiding channel and the cooling channel through the at least one heat-insulating material recess. For example, in the case in which the exhaust gas is routed through the fluid duct, there can be a significantly lower heat input from the hot exhaust gas into the cooling fluid. This leads to a reduction in the cooling requirement, which enables an improved design of the cooling system. This makes it possible, for example, to reduce fuel consumption by the internal combustion engine, for example also by saving energy when driving a coolant pump. In addition, the thermal decoupling means that the hot exhaust gas cools down less in the fluid duct. As a result, more exhaust gas enthalpy is available for an exhaust gas turbocharger and/or an exhaust gas aftertreatment device that may be arranged downstream. This enables improved design and efficiency of these components and a reduction in fuel consumption.
Zweckmäßig kann der hierin verwendete Begriff "Materialaussparung" derart verstanden werden, dass er sich auf eine durch einen entsprechenden Fertigungsschritt bewusst vorgesehene Materialaussparung bezieht und nicht etwa auf ungewollt beim Gießen oder Drucken entstehende Lunker o.ä.The term "material cutout" used here can be understood in such a way that it refers to a material cutout deliberately provided by a corresponding production step and not to cavities or the like that occur unintentionally during casting or printing.
Zweckmäßig kann der Fluidführungskanal ohne einen Einsatz, z. B. einen Rohreinsatz, gebildet sein.Advantageously, the fluid duct without an insert, z. B. a tube insert formed.
Beispielsweise kann die mindestens eine Materialaussparung durch den Hauptkörper radial von einer Kanalwandung bzw. einer Außenkontur des Fluidführungskanals beabstandet sein.For example, the at least one material recess can be radially spaced through the main body from a channel wall or an outer contour of the fluid conducting channel.
In einer Ausführungsform ist die mindestens eine Materialaussparung durch Urformen, Umformen und/oder Trennen gefertigt.In one embodiment, the at least one material recess is produced by primary shaping, reshaping and/or cutting.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Hauptkörper gegossen oder gedruckt (z. B. mittels 3D-Drucker).In another embodiment, the main body is cast or printed (e.g., using a 3D printer).
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die mindestens eine Materialaussparung beim Urformen, vorzugsweise beim Gießen und/oder Drucken (z. B. mittels 3D-Drucker), des Hauptkörpers oder anschließend daran gebildet, vorzugsweise durch ein trennendes Fertigungsverfahren (z. B. Bohren, Fräsen o.ä.).In a further embodiment, the at least one material recess is formed during the primary shaping, preferably during casting and/or printing (e.g. using a 3D printer), of the main body or subsequently thereto, preferably by a separating manufacturing process (e.g. drilling, milling or similar).
In einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Fluidführungskanal als ein Abgaskanal, ein Einlasskanal (z. B. Luft-Einlasskanal oder Luft-Kraftstoff-Gemisch-Einlasskanal) oder ein Druckluftentnahmekanal ausgebildet. Bspw. kann im Fall des Einlasskanals die Einlassluft, die vorzugsweise eine Temperatur zwischen 30°C und 50°C aufweisen soll, weniger stark durch das Kühlfluid, das typischerweise eine Temperatur oberhalb von 90°C aufweist, aufgewärmt werden. Dies kann bspw. eine verbesserte Auslegung von Ladeluftkühlern usw. ermöglichen.In one embodiment, the fluid duct is designed as an exhaust gas duct, an intake duct (eg air intake duct or air-fuel mixture intake duct) or a compressed air extraction duct. For example, in the case of the intake duct, the intake air, which should preferably have a temperature between 30°C and 50°C, can be heated less by the cooling fluid, which typically has a temperature above 90°C. This can, for example, enable an improved design of intercoolers etc.
Es ist möglich, dass mehrere Fluidführungskanäle (z. B. zwei Abgaskanäle und/oder zwei Einlasskanäle) im Zylinderkopf umfasst sind und die mindestens eine Materialaussparung zur Wärmeisolation zwischen den mehrere Fluidführungskanälen einerseits und dem Kühlkanal andererseits angeordnet ist.It is possible that several fluid ducts (e.g. two exhaust ducts and/or two intake ducts) are included in the cylinder head and the at least one material recess for thermal insulation is arranged between the several fluid ducts on the one hand and the cooling duct on the other.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist die mindestens eine Materialaussparung dazu ausgebildet, dass sie den Fluidführungskanal und den Kühlkanal zumindest teilweise voneinander thermisch isoliert.In a further exemplary embodiment, the at least one material cutout is designed in such a way that it at least partially thermally insulates the fluid conducting channel and the cooling channel from one another.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die mindestens eine Materialaussparung mit einem Wärmedämmmaterial gefüllt (z. B. teilweise oder vollständig).In a further embodiment, the at least one material recess is filled (eg partially or completely) with a thermal insulation material.
In einer Ausführungsvariante folgt eine Außenkontur der mindestens einen Materialaussparung einer Außenkontur des Fluidführungskanals und/oder des Kühlkanals zumindest abschnittweise, vorzugsweise in im Wesentlichen gleichbleibendem Abstand.In one embodiment variant, an outer contour of the at least one material recess follows an outer contour of the fluid duct and/or the cooling duct at least in sections, preferably at a substantially constant distance.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante umgibt die mindestens eine Materialaussparung den Fluidführungskanal abschnittsweise oder vollständig.In a further embodiment variant, the at least one material recess surrounds the fluid duct in sections or completely.

In einem Ausführungsbeispiel folgt die mindestens eine Materialaussparung dem Fluidführungskanal entlang von mindestens 50 %, 60 %, 70 %, 80 % oder 90 % einer Länge des Fluidführungskanals, vorzugsweise in im Wesentlichen gleichbleibendem Abstand.In one embodiment, the at least one material recess follows the fluid duct along at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or 90% of a length of the fluid duct, preferably at a substantially constant distance.
In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel endet die mindestens eine Materialaussparung angrenzend an einen Zylinderkopfbodenbereich des Hauptkörpers.In another embodiment, the at least one material relief terminates adjacent to a cylinder head base portion of the main body.
In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel mündet die mindestens eine Materialaussparung in eine Außenfläche (zum Beispiel Mantelfläche) des Zylinderkopfes, vorzugsweise zum Ermöglichen einer Luftzirkulation durch die mindestens eine Materialaussparung.In a further exemplary embodiment, the at least one material cutout opens into an outer surface (for example the lateral surface) of the cylinder head, preferably to enable air to circulate through the at least one material cutout.
Beispielsweise kann sich die mindestens eine Materialaussparung von einer Öffnung in einer Mantelfläche des Hauptkörpers bis angrenzend an den Zylinderkopfbodenbereich des Hauptkörpers, zum Beispiel in gebogener Form, durch den Hauptkörper erstrecken.For example, the at least one material recess can extend from an opening in a lateral surface of the main body to adjacent to the cylinder head base area of the main body, for example in a curved shape, through the main body.
In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel umhüllt die mindestens eine Materialaussparung den Fluidführungskanal mit Ausnahme eines Zylinderkopfbodenbereichs des Hauptkörpers und/oder eines zum Stützen des Fluidführungskanals erforderlichen Stützbereichs des Hauptkörpers im Wesentlichen vollständig.In a further exemplary embodiment, the at least one material recess essentially completely encloses the fluid duct, with the exception of a cylinder head base area of the main body and/or a support area of the main body required to support the fluid duct.
In einer Ausführungsform umhüllt die mindestens eine Materialaussparung den Fluidführungskanal zumindest teilweise.In one embodiment, the at least one material recess at least partially encloses the fluid duct.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die mindestens eine Materialaussparung mehrere Aussparungsbereiche auf. Vorzugsweise sind die mehreren Aussparungsbereiche miteinander in Fluidverbindung, vorzugsweise durch Kanäle im Hauptkörper. Es ist möglich, dass die mehreren Aussparungsbereiche symmetrisch um den Fluidführungskanal herum angeordnet sind. Es ist auch möglich, dass die mehreren Aussparungsbereiche jeweils einen ringsegmentförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen und/oder den Fluidführungskanal zusammen ringförmig umgeben. Es ist ferner möglich, dass die mehreren Aussparungsbereiche jeweils hülsensegmentförmig ausgebildet sind und/oder den Fluidführungskanal zusammen hülsenförmig umgeben.In a further embodiment, the at least one material cutout has a plurality of cutout areas. Preferably, the plurality of recessed areas are in fluid communication with one another, preferably through passages in the main body. It is possible that the plurality of cut-out areas are arranged symmetrically around the fluid guiding channel. It is also possible for the plurality of cut-out regions to each have a ring-segment-shaped cross-section and/or to surround the fluid-guiding channel together in a ring-shaped manner. It is also possible that the plurality of cut-out areas are each formed in the shape of a sleeve segment and/or together surround the fluid conducting channel in the shape of a sleeve.
In einer Ausführungsvariante ist eine Materialstärke des Hauptkörpers zwischen dem Fluidführungskanal und der mindestens einen Materialaussparung größer oder gleich 5 mm und/oder kleiner oder gleich 10 mm.In one embodiment variant, the material thickness of the main body between the fluid duct and the at least one material recess is greater than or equal to 5 mm and/or less than or equal to 10 mm.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Fluidführungskanal eine Öffnung an einer Außenseite des Zylinderkopfes auf und die mindestens eine Materialaussparung weist eine Öffnung an der Außenseite des Zylinderkopfes auf. Vorzugsweise umgibt die Öffnung der mindestens einen Materialaussparung die Öffnung des Fluidführungskanals zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise ringsegmentförmig.In a further exemplary embodiment, the fluid duct has an opening on an outside of the cylinder head and the at least one material recess has an opening on the outside of the cylinder head. Preferably, the opening of the at least one material recess surrounds the opening of the fluid duct at least partially, preferably in the form of a ring segment.
In einer Weiterbildung ist ein, vorzugsweise ringförmiger, Stegabschnitt zwischen der Öffnung des Fluidführungskanals und der Öffnung der mindestens einen Materialaussparung gebildet.

The web section preferably has at least one fastening device, preferably a threaded hole, for attaching a fluid line in fluid communication with the fluid conducting channel.
In einer Ausführungsform weist der Hauptkörper einen Stützbereich auf, der (z. B. bezüglich einer Radialrichtung des Fluidführungskanals) zwischen dem Fluidführungskanal und der mindestens einen Materialaussparung zum Stützen des Fluidführungskanals im Hauptkörper angeordnet ist.

Die
Der Zylinderkopf 10 ist gegossen. In anderen Worten, der Zylinderkopf 10 weist einen zweckmäßig metallischen Hauptkörper 14 auf. Der Hauptkörper 14 kann mit jeglichem bekannten Verfahren hergestellt sein. Beispielsweise kann der Hauptkörper 14 gegossen sein, zum Beispiel als GJV-Gusskörper (Gusseisen mit Vermiculargraphit). Es ist auch möglich, dass der Hauptkörper 14 bspw. mittels eines 3D-Druckers gedruckt ist.The
In dem Hauptkörper 14 sind verschiedene Strukturen bspw. durch den Gießprozess oder den Druckprozess gebildet. Dazu gehören ein Kühlkanal 16, ein Fluidführungskanal 18 und vorzugsweise eine oder mehrere Freistellungen oder Materialaussparungen 20. Neben dem dargestellten Bereich des schematisch dargestellten Zylinderkopfes 10 weist der Zylinderkopf 10 weitere Bereiche auf, vorzugsweise mit einem oder mehreren weiteren Fluidführungskanälen, einem oder mehreren weiteren Kühlkanälen und/oder Ventilen usw. Im Hauptkörper 14 kann ferner beispielsweise eine Aufnahme 28 zum Beispiel für einen Kraftstoff-Injektor ausgebildet sein.Various structures are formed in the
Der Kühlkanal 16 führt ein Kühlfluid, zum Beispiel Wasser, ein Wasser-Kühlmittel-Gemisch oder Öl, zum Kühlen des Zylinderkopfes 10. Der Kühlkanal 16 kann beispielsweise als ein Teil eines Wassermantels des Zylinderkopfes 10 ausgebildet sein. Der dargestellte Kühlkanal 16 ist angrenzend an einen Zylinderkopfbodenbereich 14A des Hauptkörpers 14 des Zylinderkopfes 10 zur Kühlung der Brennraumseite des Zylinderkopfes 10 angeordnet.The cooling
Der Fluidführungskanal 18 dient zum Zuführen eines Fluids zu der Verbrennungskammer 12 oder zum Abführen eines Fluids aus der Verbrennungskammer 12. Besonders bevorzugt ist der Fluidführungskanal 18 als ein Abgaskanal zum Abführen von Abgas aus der Verbrennungskammer 12 ausgebildet. Es wurde allerdings erkannt, dass sich ebenfalls vorteilhafte Wirkungen durch die Materialaussparung 20 ergeben, wenn der Fluidführungskanal 18 beispielsweise als ein Einlasskanal zum Zuführen von Einlassluft zu der Verbrennungskammer 12 oder als ein Druckluftentnahmekanal zum Abführen von Druckluft aus der Verbrennungskammer 12 ausgebildet ist.The
Der Fluidführungskanal 18 weist eine brennraumseitige Öffnung 22 auf. Der Fluidführungskanal 18 weist eine Öffnung 24 in einer Außenseite, vorzugsweise einer Mantelfläche, des Zylinderkopfes 10 auf. Der Fluidführungskanal 18 erstreckt sich, vorzugsweise gebogen, zwischen der Öffnung 22 und der Öffnung 24. Der Fluidführungskanal 18 kann brennraumseitig mittels eines Ventils 26, vorzugsweise eines Tellerventils, des Zylinderkopfes 10 abgedichtet werden.The
Die Materialaussparung 20 ist zwischen dem Fluidführungskanal 18 und dem Kühlkanal 16 angeordnet. Die Materialaussparung 20 entkoppelt den Fluidführungskanal 18 thermisch von dem Kühlkanal 16. Die Materialaussparung 20 verringert einen Wärmeübergang zwischen dem Fluidführungskanal 18 und den Kühlkanal 16 wesentlich, d. h. signifikant.The
Im besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem als Abgaskanal ausgebildeten Fluidführungskanal 18 ermöglicht dies, dass der Wärmeübergang zwischen dem Abgas und dem Kühlfluid im Kühlkanal 16 stark gemindert werden kann. Ein geringerer Wärmeeintrag in das Kühlfluid führt zu einer Verringerung des Kühlbedarfs, was eine verbesserte Auslegung des Kühlsystems ermöglicht. Dadurch lässt sich beispielsweise ein Kraftstoffverbrauch der Brennkraftmaschine verringern, zum Beispiel auch durch Energieeinsparungen beim Antreiben einer Kühlmittelpumpe. Daneben führt die thermische Entkopplung dazu, dass das durch den Fluidführungskanal 18 strömende Abgas, das beispielsweise eine Temperatur von rund 600°C aufweist, weniger stark abkühlt. Dadurch steht mehr Abgasenthalpie für einen gegebenenfalls stromabwärts angeordneten Abgasturbolader zur Verfügung. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann mehr Abgasenthalpie für eine gegebenenfalls stromabwärts angeordnete Abgasnachbehandlungsvorrichtung zur Verfügung. Beispielsweise kann die Abgasnachbehandlungsvorrichtung einen bestimmten hohen Temperaturbereich zum wirksamen Betrieb benötigen (zum Beispiel bei einem SCR-Katalysator). Dies ermöglicht eine verbesserte Auslegung und verbesserte Wirkungsgrade dieser Komponenten sowie eine Verringerung des Kraftstoffverbrauchs.In the particularly preferred exemplary embodiment with the
Die Materialaussparung 20 kann allerdings beispielsweise auch zur thermischen Entkopplung eines als Einlasskanal ausgebildeten Fluidführungskanals 18 verwendet werden. Die Materialaussparung 20 verringert in diesem Fall einen Wärmeübergang vom Kühlfluid im Kühlkanal 16, das beispielsweise eine Temperatur oberhalb von 90°C aufweist, auf die durch den Fluidführungskanal 18 strömende Einlassluft, die bevorzugt eine niedrige Temperatur, zum Beispiel unterhalb von 40°C oder 50°C, aufweist.However, the
Vorzugsweise wird die Materialaussparung 20 direkt beim Urformen (z. B. Drucken oder Gießen) des Hauptkörpers 14 als Materialaussparung gebildet, z. B. als Gussmaterialaussparung. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, dass die Materialaussparung 20 erst nach dem Urformen des Hauptkörpers 14 im Hauptkörper 14 14 ausgebildet wird, zum Beispiel durch ein spanabhebendes Fertigungsverfahren. Beispielsweise können mehrere, den Fluidführungskanal 18 umgebenden Bohrungen in den Hauptkörper 14 eingebracht werden.Preferably, the
Zwischen der Materialaussparung 20 und dem Fluidführungskanal 18 ist ein Stützbereich 30 angeordnet. Der Stützbereich 30 ist Teil des Hauptkörpers 14. Der Stützbereich 30 ist gegossen. Der Stützbereich 30 stützt den Fluidführungskanal 18 im Hauptkörper 14. Der Stützbereich 30 trennt die Materialaussparung 20 und den Fluidführungskanal 18 fluidisch voneinander. Eine Materialstärke des Stützbereichs 30 zwischen dem Fluidführungskanal 18 und der Materialaussparung 20 kann beispielsweise in einem Bereich zwischen 5 mm und 10 mm liegen. Der Stützbereich 30 ist so auszuführen, dass er so steif wie nötig zum Stützen des Fluidführungskanals 18 und so flexibel wie möglich zum Ausgleichen von bspw. temperaturbedingten Materialausdehnungen ist.A
Die Materialaussparung 20 ist mit Luft, vorzugsweise Umgebungsluft, gefüllt. Dadurch bildet die Materialaussparung 20 einen wärmeisolierenden Luftspalt zwischen dem Fluidführungskanal 18 und dem Kühlkanal 16. Die Spaltgröße des Luftspalts kann beispielsweise in einem Bereich zwischen 5 mm und 15 mm liegen. Es kann auch möglich sein, dass die Materialaussparung 20 zumindest teilweise mit einem Wärmedämmmaterial gefüllt ist.The
Die Materialaussparung 20 kann zu einer Außenseite des Hauptkörpers 14 hin offen sein. Dies ermöglicht, dass die Luft in der Materialeinsparung 20 mit der Umgebungsluft ausgetauscht werden kann und sich eine Luftzirkulation ergibt. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, dass die Materialaussparung 20 ohne Öffnung nach außen als Hohlraum in dem Hauptkörper 14 angeordnet ist.The
Die Außenkontur bzw. Wandkontur der Materialaussparung 20 ist an eine Außenkontur bzw. Wandkontur des Fluidführungskanals 18 angepasst und folgt dieser beispielsweise zumindest teilweise in gleichbleibenden Abstand. Beispielsweise kann die Außenkontur der Materialaussparung 20 zumindest teilweise als Zylindermantelsegment ausgebildet sein, auf dessen Innenseite der Fluidführungskanal 18 verläuft. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Außenkontur der Materialaussparung 20 zusätzlich oder alternativ an den Kühlkanal 16 angepasst ist und diesen beispielsweise zumindest teilweise in gleichbleibenden Abstand folgt.The outer contour or wall contour of the
Die Materialaussparung 20 folgt dem Fluidführungskanal 18 ausgehend von einer Außenseite des Zylinderkopfes 10 entlang eines wesentlichen Teils einer Länge des Fluidführungskanals 18. Wie dargestellt ist, kann die Materialaussparung 20 dem Fluidführungskanal 18 beispielsweise zwischen 80 % und 90 % der Länge des Fluidführungskanals 18 folgen. Die Materialaussparung 20 umhüllt den Fluidführungskanal 18, ausgenommen den Zylinderkopfbodenbereich 14A des Hauptkörpers 14 und den Stützbereich 30 des Hauptkörpers 14, im Wesentlichen vollständig.
Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Materialaussparung 20 zwei Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 auf. Die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 stehen über mehrere Kanäle 36 miteinander in Fluidverbindung, wie dargestellt ist. Es ist auch möglich, mehr oder weniger Aussparungsbereiche vorzusehen, die in Fluidverbindung miteinander stehen können oder nicht.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the
Die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 sind ringförmig um den Fluidführungskanal 18 herum angeordnet. Die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 können den Fluidführungskanal 18 beispielsweise symmetrisch umgeben. Die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 weisen jeweils einen ringsegmentförmigen Querschnitt auf. Die ringsegmentförmigen Querschnitte können beispielsweis jeweils einen Winkelbereiche von annährend 180° umfassen. Die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 folgen einem Verlauf des Fluidführungskanals 18 in Form von Hülsensegmenten.The
Die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 enden angrenzend an den Zylinderkopfbodenbereich 14A des Hauptkörpers 14. Andererseits münden die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 in einer Außenseite des Hauptkörpers 14. Die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 weisen jeweils eine Öffnung 38, 40 auf. Die Öffnungen 38, 40 sind um die Öffnung 24 herum angeordnet. Die Öffnungen 38, 40 weisen eine Ringsegmentform auf. Durch die Öffnungen 38, 40 kann Luft in die Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 einströmen und ausströmen, sodass sich eine Luftzirkulation in den Aussparungsbereiche 32, 34 und damit in der Materialaussparung 20 ergeben kann.The
Ein Stegabschnitt 42 des Stützbereichs 30 ist zwischen der Öffnung 24 einerseits und den Öffnungen 38, 40 andererseits angeordnet. Der Stegabschnitt 42 kann ringförmig sein. Der Stegabschnitt 42 umgibt die Öffnung 24. Der Stegabschnitt 42 kann eine oder mehrere Befestigungseinrichtungen 44 (nur in
