JP 2004-52752 A JP 2006-242073 A

  By the way, although rare, the engine may be operated at a relatively high speed during warm-up, and it may be required to open the pressure relief valve with a small relief pressure. As a pressure relief valve that opens in such an operating situation, it is preferable to provide a pressure relief valve having a configuration different from that of the thermostat valve to increase the degree of freedom in setting the relief pressure. One of the engine fail safes is, for example, detecting the temperature of the cooling water in the water jacket of the cylinder block, and it is necessary to consider the surrounding structure in consideration of the installation of such a water temperature sensor. I have a hard time. As described above, there is a high demand for mounting a pressure relief valve around the thermostat valve. On the other hand, if the water temperature sensor can also be laid out around the thermostat valve, it is possible to directly attach it to the cylinder block to make it compact. This is useful for the practical application of the dual cooling system.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described demands, and is a two-system cooling device for an engine that can obtain a practical and reliable configuration while miniaturizing the thermostat valve as much as possible. It is an issue to provide.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes a water pump for supplying cooling water, and an introduction opening formed in a side wall of the cylinder block, and the cooling water supplied from the water pump is supplied to the water jacket of the cylinder block. A cooling passage supplied during cooling, a bypass passage for supplying cooling water supplied from the water pump to the water jacket of the cylinder head by bypassing the water jacket of the cylinder block, and a side wall of the cylinder block Formed at the merging portion where the cold cooling passage and the cold bypass passage merge, a temperature sensing portion disposed in the merging portion, and provided at one end side of the temperature sensing portion and the introduction opening. And a bypass valve that is provided on the other end side of the temperature sensing portion and opens and closes the cold bypass passage. When the temperature is lower than the cold set temperature, the warm cooling passage is closed and the cold bypass passage is opened, and when the temperature is higher than the cold set temperature, the warm cooling passage is opened and the cold bypass passage is opened. In a two-system cooling device for an engine provided with a thermostat valve that gradually reduces the degree, a valve housing that divides the merging portion so as to surround the introduction opening and accommodates the thermostat valve, and a side wall of a cylinder block, A flange plate that partitions the merging portion and the introduction opening by being sandwiched by the valve housing, and that has a communication hole that is opened and closed by a main valve of the thermostat valve, and the cylinder block of the flange plate Is disposed at a position alongside the main valve of the thermostat valve, and the internal pressure of the merging portion is greater than or equal to a predetermined value A pressure relief valve that communicates the flow portion with the introduction opening, and is arranged on the cylinder block side of the flange plate at a position aligned with the main valve of the thermostat valve and the pressure relief valve, and the introduction opening A water temperature sensor for detecting a water temperature on the side of the engine, wherein the water temperature sensor is laid out at a position disengaged from the main flow when the main valve of the thermostat valve is opened. It is a cooling device. In this aspect, in a two-system cooling system in which a warm-time cooling passage and a cold-time bypass passage are provided and both passages are selectively switched by a thermostat valve according to the temperature state, a junction portion of both passages is provided by a valve housing. Since the thermostat valve is accommodated in the valve housing, the valve structure can be simplified as much as possible by directly attaching the thermostat valve to the cylinder block. In addition, a flange plate is provided in this simple valve structure, and a pressure relief valve and a water temperature sensor are provided on this flange plate. In addition, the pressure relief valve is mounted separately from the thermostat valve. Increased freedom of setting. On the other hand, the water temperature sensor is laid out at a position away from the main flow when the main valve of the thermostat valve is opened, so that the detection error due to the dynamic energy of the cooling water is reduced and the failure can be detected with high accuracy. It becomes like this.

  In a preferred embodiment, the valve housing is formed integrally with the body of the water pump and defines an upstream end of a cold bypass passage that is opened and closed by a bypass valve of the thermostat valve. In this aspect, the valve housing and the water pump are unitized to make the cylinder block side surface more compact, and the upstream end of the cold bypass passage is formed in the valve housing, so that the bypass valve of the thermostat valve Therefore, the thermostat valve can be miniaturized.

  In a preferred aspect, the introduction opening is formed in a side wall on one end side in the cylinder row direction of the cylinder block, and the cold bypass passage includes a saddle path that opens to a mating surface between the cylinder head and the cylinder block, The saddle path is formed in the vicinity of a head fastening bolt hole located between the cylinders, and the periphery of the head fastening bolt hole corresponding to the saddle path is sealed between the cylinder head and the cylinder block. A head gasket having a bead portion is disposed. In this mode, since the cold bypass passage includes a saddle path that opens to the mating surface of the cylinder head and the cylinder block, piping for the cold bypass passage is not required, reducing the number of parts and reducing the size. Will contribute. In addition, since the sealing performance of the saddle path can be enhanced by the fastening force of the bolt that fastens the cylinder head and the cylinder block, the reliability is also improved.

  As described above, the present invention provides a cylinder block in a two-system cooling system in which a warm cooling passage and a cold bypass passage are provided and both passages are selectively switched by a thermostat valve according to the temperature state. A thermostat valve is installed in the valve housing that is directly attached, and a water temperature sensor and a pressure relief valve are provided in a predetermined layout, making the thermostat valve as compact and practical as possible and reliable. It is possible to obtain a remarkable effect that a high configuration can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a piping diagram of a cooling device according to an embodiment of the present invention, where (A) shows a cold time and (B) shows a warm time.

  First, referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, a cooling device according to the present embodiment includes water jackets 1 a and 2 a formed on an engine cylinder head 1 and a cylinder block 2, respectively, and a cylinder head 1. A main valve device 3 provided at the outlet of the water jacket 1a, a sub-valve device 4 provided at the inlet of the water jacket 2a of the cylinder block 2, a water pump 5 unitized with the sub-valve device 4, A radiator 6 connected to the main valve device 3, an oil cooler 8 connected in parallel to a passage 7 returning from the main valve device 3 to the water pump 5, and a heater 9 connected in series with the oil cooler 8 are provided.

  Referring to FIG. 2, the engine 10 has an output sprocket 12 at the front end portion of the crankshaft 11, and is arranged on a plurality of auxiliary machines (on the left and right sides of the cylinder block 2) via an unillustrated chain. The water pump 5, the air conditioning compressor 15, etc.) are driven by the output sprocket 12. The engine 10 also includes an idler pulley 14 on the front end side of the engine 10 and an EGR valve 17 disposed on the rear side of the engine 10.

  3 is a side view of the intake side of the cylinder head according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow IV-IV in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow V-V in FIG. It is.

  Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the cylinder head 1 is cast so as to be compatible with a four-cylinder four-cycle engine, and has an intake port 1b and an exhaust in each of four cylinders arranged in the front-rear (longitudinal) direction. Two ports 1c are formed.

  The water jacket 1a is formed around each cylinder. On the exhaust side of the water jacket 1a, there is formed a chamber 1d that extends in the front-rear (longitudinal) direction and communicates with each cylinder portion at a plurality of locations. The chamber 1d is formed so that the exhaust side, which tends to become high temperature, can be cooled with more cooling water. Further, the water jacket 1a communicates so as to surround each cylinder. As a result, as will be described later, when the cooling water is supplied to the water jacket 1a via the chamber 1d during the cold time, the cooling water flows in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the cylinder head 1 to dissipate the heat of the cylinder head 1. It is absorbed and discharged from the main valve device 3.

  On the front end side of the cylinder head 1, a communication path 1 e is formed that communicates the front end of the water jacket 1 a with the water jacket 2 a of the cylinder block 2 directly below.

  6 is a schematic plan view of the engine according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a rear view of the engine according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along arrows VIII-VIII in FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow IX-IX in FIG.

  With reference to FIGS. 6 to 9, a main valve device 3 communicating with the water jacket 1 a of the cylinder head 1 is disposed at the rear end portion of the engine 10. The main valve device 3 includes a body 3a fixed to the cylinder head 1, a cover 3b fixed to the body 3a, and a thermostat valve 20 built in the body 3a.

  The body 3 a is a hollow body that defines a communication chamber 3 d that communicates with the water jacket 1 a of the cylinder head 1, and the communication chamber 3 d is connected to an upper hose 6 a that circulates cooling water through the radiator 6. In the present embodiment, a passage 7 (see FIG. 1) for returning from the main valve device 3 to the water pump 5 is connected to the communication chamber 3d. On the other hand, the cover 3b is a hollow body that divides a circulation chamber 3e that recirculates cooling water from the radiator 6, and the circulation chamber 3e is controlled to be opened and closed with the communication chamber 3d by the thermostat valve 20. A lower hose 6b that recirculates cooling water from the radiator 6 is connected to the circulation chamber 3e.

  The thermostat valve 20 is of a well-known wax type, and includes a flanged holder 21 sandwiched between the body 3a and the cover 3b, a sleeve-like temperature sensing part 22 built in the flanged holder 21, and this feeling. It has a piston 23 provided concentrically and slidably on the temperature part 22. The temperature sensing part 22 is filled with wax (not shown) and is configured to push out the piston 23 by its thermal expansion. The base end portion of the piston 23 is inserted into the temperature sensing portion 22, and the free end portion is fixed to the flanged holder 21. Therefore, when the wax of the temperature sensing unit 22 expands and receives a force, the reaction force causes the temperature sensing unit 22 to move away from the free end (right side in FIGS. 8 and 9). Become.

  Furthermore, a main valve 24 that opens and closes a communication hole formed in the flanged holder 21 is fixed to a sleeve 22a that extends to one end side (the left side in FIGS. 8 and 9) of the temperature sensing unit 22. A first coil spring 25 is interposed between the main valve 24 and the flanged holder 21, and the main valve 24 closes the communication hole of the flanged holder 21 by the first coil spring 25. Is being energized. The spring coefficient of the first coil spring 25 overcomes the urging force caused by the wax expansion of the temperature sensing portion 22 when the cooling water is less than a predetermined warm set temperature (for example, 88 ° C.) Tw, and the main valve 24 is flanged. The communication hole of the holder 21 is closed, and when the temperature is equal to or higher than the warm setting temperature Tw, the communication hole is gradually opened by the urging force of the temperature sensing portion 22 due to the expansion of wax, and is fully opened at a predetermined full open temperature (eg 94 ° C.) Tww. It is configured. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the water pressure in the circulation chamber 3e increases in the closed region (T <Tw) of the main valve 24 (for example, when the engine speed is 5000 rpm or more), the main valve 24 is The relief pressure is set so that the circulation chamber 3e communicates with the communication chamber 3d against the urging force of one coil spring 25.

  On the opposite side of the temperature sensing unit 22 from the main valve 24, an on-off valve 26 is elastically attached via a second coil spring 27. The on-off valve 26 elastically closes the communication hole between the communication chamber 3d and the water jacket 1a as the temperature sensing unit 22 is displaced.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the main valve device 3 causes the thermostat valve 20 to shut off the communication chamber 3d and the circulation chamber 3e when cold (warming up). No longer flows. Accordingly, the cooling water flowing out of the water jacket 1 a returns to the water pump 5 via the passage 7. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1B, the cooling water circulates in the radiator 6 because the thermostat valve 20 communicates between the communication chamber 3d and the circulation chamber 3e during the warm period. Then, the cooling water that has returned from the radiator 6 to the circulation chamber 3e through the lower hose 6b returns to the water pump 5 from the communication chamber 3d through the passage 7.

A communication path 2e is formed on the front end side of the cylinder block 2 to communicate the front end of the water jacket 2a with the communication path 1e of the water jacket 1a directly above.

  On one side of the exhaust side of the cylinder block 2, a saddle path 2c that bypasses the water jacket 2a of the cylinder block 2 is formed. The saddle path 2c is specifically defined by a bottomed hole that opens on the mating surface of the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder block 2 on the front end side (one end side in the cylinder row direction) of the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder block 2 as shown in FIG. Between the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder block 2, a sheet metal head gasket 2 d that has a hole with a bead around it that seals the periphery of the saddle path 2 c is disposed.

  Referring to FIG. 10, a water pump 5 includes a pulley 5a connected to the output sprocket 12 of the crankshaft 11, a body 5b surrounding an impeller (not shown) driven by the pulley 5a, and the body 5b. And a cover 5c that covers the front end portion. The body 5b and the cover 5c are fixed to the right side wall of the cylinder block 2 with bolts 5d. The body 5b is connected to a passage 7 for returning the cooling water discharged from the communication chamber 3d of the main valve device 3 to the water pump 5. The cooling water returned from the passage 7 to the water pump 5 is supplied to the impeller. Therefore, the water is fed to the sub-valve device 4 integrally attached to the water pump 5.

  Referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, in this embodiment, in order to switch the flow of the cooling water supplied from water pump 5 between water jacket 2a and dredging path 2c, body 5b of water pump 5 The valve device 4 is unitized.

  The sub-valve device 4 includes a valve housing 4a that is integrally formed with the body 5b of the water pump 5 and is fixed to the cylinder block 2, and a thermostat valve 30 that is built in the valve housing 4a. The valve housing 4a is a hollow body that defines a communication chamber 4b that is formed in the water jacket 2a of the cylinder block 2 and serves as a merging portion that communicates with the introduction opening 2f that forms the main part of the warm-time cooling passage. In the communication chamber 4b, a bypass path 4c communicating with the saddle path 2c of the cylinder block 2 is formed. By this bypass path 4c and the saddle path 2c, the valve housing 4a of the sub-valve device 4 is connected to the cylinder block 2. A cold bypass passage that bypasses the water jacket 2a and supplies the cooling water supplied from the water pump 5 to the water jacket 1a of the cylinder head 1 is configured, and this cold bypass passage (bypass passage 4c and The soot path 2c) and the introduction opening 2f as the warm-time cooling passage constitute a joining part.

  The thermostat valve 30 is of the same wax type as the thermostat valve 20 of the main valve device 3, and is fixed to the holder 31, the temperature sensing part 32, the piston 33, and the sleeve 32a of the temperature sensing part 32 to introduce the water jacket 2a. A main valve 34 that opens and closes the opening 2f, a first coil spring 35, a bypass valve 36 that opens and closes the bypass path 4c, and a second coil spring 37 are provided. In principle, these are equivalent to the corresponding element members of the main valve device 3, but the temperature sensing portion 32 in the sub valve device 4 is less than a predetermined cold set temperature (for example, 75 ° C.) Tc. The first coil spring 35 is configured to overcome the urging force caused by the expansion of the wax and the main valve 34 is configured to close the introduction opening 2f and to fully open at a predetermined fully open temperature (for example, 85 ° C.) Tcw. ing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a substantially annular flange plate 38 shown in FIG. 14 is employed to hold the thermostat valve 30.

  FIG. 14 is a front view of the flange plate according to the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIGS. 12 to 14, a holder 31 is fixed to the center portion of the flange plate 38, and the main valve 34 of the thermostat valve 30 opens and closes a communication hole 38 a formed in the center portion of the flange plate 38. It is configured.

  In the diameter D direction of the flange plate 38, bulging portions 38b and 38c that bulge in the diameter D direction are extended, and when these bulging portions 38b and 38c are assembled, the cylinder block 2 and the valve housing 4a. Is fixed to the engine 10 by being sandwiched between the two. Further, a pressure relief valve 40 and a water temperature sensor 41 disposed on both sides of the main valve 34 along the one diameter D direction are fixed to the surface of the flange plate 38 on the cylinder block 2 side.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the pressure relief valve 40 is embodied by a check valve that urges a ball-shaped valve body 40a with a coil spring 40b. In <Tc), when the water pressure in the communication chamber 4b increases (for example, when the engine speed is 4000 rpm or more), the main valve 34 opens the communication chamber 4b against the urging force of the first coil spring 35. The relief pressure is set so as to communicate with the water jacket 2a.

  The water temperature sensor 41 is connected to an unillustrated engine control unit and outputs a water temperature detection signal to the engine control unit, and is used as fail-safe information.

  At the time of assembly, the pressure relief valve 40 and the water temperature sensor 41 are laid out so as to be arranged in front of and behind the engine 10 with the main valve 34 of the thermostat valve 30 interposed therebetween. Further, since a communication path 1e for communicating the water jacket 2a of the cylinder block 2 with the water jacket 1a of the cylinder head 1 is formed at the front end of the water jacket 1a, the water temperature sensor 41 is disposed on the rear side of the engine 10. Be placed. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 13, when the main valve 34 is opened, the main flow of the cooling water from the water pump 5 is directed forward from the main valve 34 as shown by an arrow AW. The water temperature sensor 41 is laid out at a position off the upstream side of the mainstream AW, that is, at a position opposite to the mainstream. As a result, the temperature of the cooling water in the water jacket 2a can be detected in a state where the influence of the mainstream AW is suppressed as much as possible.

  Referring to FIG. 14, in this embodiment, the flange plate 38 is formed with a throttle passage 38d positioned at the uppermost portion of the flange plate 38 during assembly, and the main valve 34 is always open. 1% -2% of the cooling water is allowed to flow from the communication chamber 4b into the introduction opening 2f. The throttle passage 38d ensures a minimum flow from the communication chamber 4b to the water jacket 2a of the cylinder block 2 when the thermostat valve 30 fails.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, such a sub valve device 4 causes the thermostat valve 30 to shut off the communication chamber 4b and the introduction opening 2f when cold (warming up). The cooling water does not flow to the water jacket 2a of No. 2, and the cooling water supplied from the water pump 5 is directly supplied to the water jacket 1a of the cylinder head 1 via the bypass path 4c, while FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, during the warm time, the thermostat valve 30 communicates the communication chamber 4b and the introduction opening 2f to close the bypass passage 4c, so that the cooling water circulates in the water jacket 2a.

  In FIGS. 12 and 13, reference numeral 2 g denotes a head fastening bolt hole into which a bolt 18 for fastening the cylinder head 1 to the cylinder block 2 is screwed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the communication path 1e as the warm cooling path and the cold bypass path (saddle path 2c, bypass path 4c) are provided, and both paths are connected to the thermostat valve 30 according to the temperature state. In the two-system cooling system that is selectively switched by the above, the communication chamber 4b of the passages 1e, 2c, and 4c is partitioned by the valve housing 4a, and the thermostat valve 30 is accommodated in the valve housing 4a. Can be directly attached to the cylinder block 2 to simplify the valve structure as much as possible. In addition, a flange plate 38 is provided in this simple valve structure, and a pressure relief valve 40 and a water temperature sensor 41 are provided on the flange plate 38. In addition, the pressure relief valve 40 is attached in a configuration different from the thermostat valve 30. As a result, the degree of freedom in setting the relief pressure increases. On the other hand, since the water temperature sensor 41 is laid out at a position away from the main flow AW when the main valve 34 of the thermostat valve 30 is opened, the detection error due to the dynamic energy of the cooling water is reduced and the accuracy is high. It becomes possible to detect failure.

  In the present embodiment, the valve housing 4a is formed integrally with the body 5b of the water pump 5, and is opened and closed by the bypass valve 36 of the thermostat valve 30 (cold path 2c, bypass path 4c). ) To define the upstream end. For this reason, in this embodiment, the valve housing 4a and the water pump 5 are unitized, and the compactness of the side surface of the cylinder block 2 can be further increased, and the cold bypass passages (the dredging path 2c and the bypass path 4c) Since the upstream end is formed in the valve housing 4a and is opened and closed by the bypass valve 36 of the thermostat valve 30, the thermostat valve 30 can be downsized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the introduction opening 2 f is formed in the side wall on one end side in the cylinder row direction of the cylinder block 2, and the cold bypass passage opens to the mating surface between the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder block 2. 2c, and the saddle path 2c is formed in the vicinity of the head fastening bolt hole 2g located between the cylinders. Between the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder block 2, a head fastening bolt hole corresponding to the saddle path 2c is formed. A head gasket 2d having a bead portion that seals the periphery of 2g is disposed. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the cold bypass passages (the saddle path 2c and the bypass path 4c) include the saddle path 2c that opens to the mating surface of the cylinder head 1 and the cylinder block 2, so the cold bypass path The piping of the dredging path 2c and the bypass path 4c becomes unnecessary, which contributes to the reduction of the number of parts and the compactness. Moreover, since the sealing performance of the saddle path 2c can be enhanced by the fastening force of the bolt 18, the reliability is also improved.
