Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plug guide for a cylinder head of a DOHC internal combustion engine in which an intake valve and an exhaust valve are driven by separate camshafts, in particular, a pair of left and right cam carriers. The present invention relates to a cylinder head of a DOHC internal combustion engine having a structure integrally connected by a cylindrical portion. 2. Description of the Related Art In a DOHC internal combustion engine, forming a cam carrier separately from a cylinder head has the advantage that a core is not required at the time of casting. However, the intake valve and the exhaust valve are respectively driven. If the pair of left and right cam carriers is separate, processing and assembly are troublesome, such as the need to provide a dowel for positioning and a reamer bolt when mounted inside the cylinder head, and the length is long from the center of the cylinder head. There is a problem in that the plug guide cylinder portion is protruded, and the flow of hot water (molten metal) to the mold during casting of the cylinder head is not good. [0003] DOH disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-8445
Since the cylinder head of the C internal combustion engine is divided into a lower half and an upper half by a horizontal plane, the above-described casting problem is improved, but the structure of the cylinder head is rather complicated. Yes, not suitable for die casting. Further, it is necessary to interpose a gasket for preventing oil leakage on the superposed surface of the cylinder head. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to separate the second cylinder head (the upper half of the cylinder head) from the second cylinder head and accommodate the second cylinder head in the inner space of the cylinder head. It is another object of the present invention to provide a cylinder head of a DOHC internal combustion engine in which a pair of left and right cam carriers of a second cylinder head are integrally connected by a plug guide cylinder to improve workability in casting and assembly. [0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a D-shaft having a pair of left and right camshafts.
In an OHC internal combustion engine, the cylinder head, a head cover connected to the upper end of the cylinder head, and an inner space formed by the cylinder head and the head cover are overlapped with a bottom surface of the inner space of the cylinder head. A second cylinder head coupled to the second cylinder head, the second cylinder head supporting at least a lower half of each camshaft, a plug guide cylinder, and a bridge connecting the cam carrier and the plug guide cylinder. Characterized by being formed from Further, in the structure of the present invention, the left and right cam carriers of the second cylinder head are overlapped and joined to a pair of left and right inclined surfaces having a roof shape provided at the bottom of the inner space of the cylinder head. . In the second cylinder head, a pair of left and right cam carriers are integrally connected by a plug guide cylinder, and are superposed on the inclined surface of the inner space of the cylinder head. Preferably, the plug guide cylinder is fitted into the cylindrical portion of the cylinder head, and the cam carrier is positioned on the cylinder head. As a result, castability,
Assembly workability is improved. FIG. 1 is a front sectional view of a cylinder head of a DOHC internal combustion engine according to the present invention, in particular, an in-line 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC internal combustion engine, and FIG. 2 is a developed plan view of a cam carrier of the cylinder head. . The cylinder head B has an upper half portion surrounded by a box-shaped peripheral wall 2, and an upper end flange 2 a of the peripheral wall 2.
Then, the head cover 21 is connected via a seal member. A pair of left and right inclined surfaces 3 inclined in a roof shape is provided at the bottom of the inner space of the cylinder head B, and a plug mounting hole 4 is provided at the center. The plug mounting hole 4 is formed integrally with a cylindrical portion 4a projecting slightly upward at the upper end, and a screw hole 4b for screwing a plug (ignition plug or fuel injection valve) at the lower end. The lower surface 5 of the cylinder head B is overlaid on a cylinder body (not shown) via a gasket, and is fastened by bolts. Although the cylinder head B is provided with an intake / exhaust passage, a valve seat for an intake / exhaust valve, a guide hole for a valve stem, etc., they are not related to the gist of the present invention, and therefore are not shown in FIG. I haven't. According to the present invention, a pair of left and right cam carriers A1 and A2 for supporting a cam mechanism for opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves is integrally connected to the second cylinder head C indicated by hatching by the plug guide cylinder 14. Then, it is formed by, for example, die casting. Therefore, each cam carrier A
Partition walls 16 are provided at intervals in the cylinder arrangement direction on A1 and A2.
A plug guide cylinder 14 is connected between the pair of cam carriers A1, A2. The lower surfaces 18 of the cam carriers A1 and A2 of the second cylinder head C are superimposed on the inclined surface 3 in the inner space of the cylinder head B, and the plug guide cylinder 14 connects the large-diameter cylindrical portion 14a at the lower end to the cylinder head B. It is externally fitted to a cylindrical portion 4a protruding upward from the upper end wall of the plug mounting hole 4.
Thus, the second cylinder head C becomes the cylinder head B
Is positioned in the inner space, and connected by bolts described later. As shown in FIG. 2, each cam carrier A1, A2 of the second cylinder head C has a semi-cylindrical recess 12 in the cylinder arrangement direction and four partition walls 16 arranged in an arrangement pitch p. Eight tapet holes 15 are provided side by side. Each partition 16 is provided with a pair of bolt insertion holes 16a. The cam shaft 19 (FIG. 1) is supported by each of the cam carriers A1 and A2 as follows. The camshaft 19 is supported in the recess 12 of the partition 16, and a bearing cap 20 having a semi-cylindrical recess is superimposed on the flat upper surface of the partition 16, and a bolt penetrating through the bearing cap 20 and the bolt insertion hole 16 a of the partition 16. 22 is screwed into a screw hole 23 provided on the inclined surface 3 of the cylinder head B. Thus, the bearing cap 20 and the cam carriers A1, A2 are fastened to the cylinder head B. As described above, the pair of left and right cam carriers A1, A2 of the second cylinder head C are
And the bridging portion 13, the parts are easily managed and machined, and the large-diameter cylindrical portion 14 a and the cylindrical portion 4
By the fitting of a, the second cylinder head C is positioned in the inner space of the cylinder head B, so that the assembling workability is improved. According to the present invention, since the second cylinder head is formed by integrally connecting the pair of left and right cam carriers with the plug guide cylinder, casting and working are easy. 2
Because the cylinder head is positioned on the cylinder head by the plug guide cylinder, the positioning and dowels, the reamer bolts, etc. do not need to be provided, which facilitates the processing and assembly. Since there is no need to provide a long plug guide cylinder projecting upward on the cylinder head, the shape of the mold is simplified, and the flow of hot water during casting of the cylinder head is improved. Since the intake valve cam carrier and the exhaust valve cam carrier are integrally connected, erroneous assembly that occurs when they are separate can be avoided. Since the cam carrier of the second cylinder head is assembled to the inner space of the cylinder head, there is no problem even if the lubricating oil of the tapet portion leaks from the overlapped joint of the two cylinder heads. There is no need to interpose a gasket or seal member in the section.
