【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は,内燃機関において,そのシリンダヘッドの上面に,当該上面における動弁機構室を覆うように取付けられるシリンダヘッドカバーの構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の内燃機関においては,シリンダヘッドの上面に覆うヘッドカバーと,エアクリーナとを別体に構成しているために,部品点数が多くなるばかりか,エアクリーナを含めた全体が可成りに大型化し,且つ,重量のアップを招来するのであった。
【0003】
そこで,先行技術としての特開平9−112358号公報は,シリンダヘッドの上面を覆うシリンダヘッドカバーの上面に,エアクリーナを一体的に設けることにより,部品点数の減少,小型・軽量化等を図ることを提案している。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし,この先行技術のものは,シリンダヘッドカバーの内部に,ブローバイガスに対する気液分離室を形成し,この気液分離室の上側にエアクリーナを一体的に設けるという構成にしていることにより,換言すると,このシリンダヘッドカバーは,気液分離室の上にエアクリーナを設けるというように二段重ねになっているから,エアクリーナを含むシリンダヘッドカバー全体の高さが,前記気液分離室の分だけ高くなるという問題があった。
【0005】
この場合,シリンダヘッドカバー全体の高さを低くするために,気液分離室及びエアクリーナの内容積を縮小することは,気液分離室における潤滑油の分離性能の低下,エアクリーナにて吸気騒音を低減する性能が低下する等を招来する。
【0006】
本発明は,シリンダヘッドカバーにエアクリーナと気液分離室とを設ける場合に,その高さを,前記エアクリーナ及び気液分離室の内容積を縮小することなく,確実に低くすることを技術的課題とするものである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この技術的課題を達成するため本発明の請求項1は,
「シリンダヘッドの上面を覆うシリンダヘッドカバーの上面に,ブローバイガスに対する気液分離室と,エアクリーナとを設けるとともに,列状に並べた複数の各気筒の各々に対する点火コイルを気筒列の方向に並べて配設して成る内燃機関において,
前記気液分離室とエアクリーナとを,気筒列の方向から見て左右の横方向に並べて気筒列の方向に延びるように配設し,前記気液分離室を,前記エアクリーナの高さ方向に突出するように前記シリンダヘッドカバーに一体に構成する一方,前記エアクリーナを,シリンダヘッドカバーに一体に形成したダストサイドケースと,このダストサイドケースの上面に対してフイルタエレメントを挟んで着脱自在に接合したクリーンサイドケースとで構成し,前記ダストサイドケースにおける内底面に,前記各気筒に対する点火コイルを配設したことを特徴とする。」
ものである。
【0008】
【発明の作用・効果】
シリンダヘッドカバーに気液分離室とエアクリーナとを一体に設ける場合において,前記したように,気液分離室とエアクリーナとを,気筒列の方向から見て左右の横方向に並べ,前記気筒列の方向に延びるように配設し,前記気液分離室を,前記エアクリーナの高さ方向に突出するように前記シリンダヘッドカバーに一体に構成したことにより,シリンダヘッドカバー全体の高さ寸法に,前記先行技術のように,気液分離室の高さ寸法が加算されることを回避できるから,シリンダヘッドカバー全体の高さ寸法を,気液分離室及びエアクリーナの内容積を縮小することなく,換言すると,気液分離室における潤滑油の分離性能及びエアクリーナにおける吸気騒音の低減性能を低下を招来することなく,低くすることができる。
【0009】
これに加えて,前記エアクリーナを,シリンダヘッドカバーに一体に形成したダストサイドケースと,このダストサイドケースの上面に対してフイルタエレメントを挟んで着脱自在に接合したクリーンサイドケースとで構成し,前記ダストサイドケース内に,内燃機関における複数の各気筒の各々に対する点火コイルを配設したことにより,前記エアクリーナが,各気筒における点火コイルに対するカバーを兼用するとともに,前記各点火コイルを,エアクリーナ内を流れる空気にて冷却することができる効果を有する。
【0010】
しかも,前記気液分離室を,各気筒列の方向に延びるように構成したことにより,この気液分離室における内容積を内燃機関における各気筒列の方向に拡大できるから,その潤滑油の分離性能を更に向上できる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下,本発明の実施の形態を,図1及び図2の図面について説明する。
【0012】
この図において,符号1は,複数の気筒を列状に備えた多気筒内燃機関におけるシリンダヘッドを示し,このシリンダヘッド1上面には,当該上面における動弁機構室2を塞ぐためのシリンダヘッドカバー3が,着脱自在に接合されている。
【0013】
このシリンダヘッドカバー3には,エアクリーナ4と,ブローバイガスに対する気液分離室5とが一体的に設けられる。
【0014】
すなわち,前記シリンダヘッドカバー3に,前記エアクリーナ4における下部のダストサイドケース4aと,前記気液分離室5とを,これらを横に並べて,且つ,前記気液分離室5が上向きに突出した形態で平面視において内燃機関における気筒列の方向に延びるように一体的に形成する。
【0015】
前記ダストサイドケース4aに,大気からの空気取り入れ管路6を接続するとともに,このダストサイドケース4a内部に,前記内燃機関における各気筒に対する点火コイル7を配設する。
【0016】
そして,前記ダストサイドケース4aの上面に,エアクリーナ4における上部のクリーンサイドケース4bを,その間にフイルタエレメント4cを挟んで着脱自在に接合して,このクリーンサイドケース4bに,内燃機関における各気筒に吸気を分配する吸気マニホールド8に取付けたスロットルボデー9へのゴム等の軟質弾性体にて蛇腹管に構成した吸気ダクト10を接続する一方,この吸気ダクト10に,前記気液分離室5からブローバイガス出口管路11を接続する。

Therefore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-112358 as a prior art is intended to reduce the number of parts, reduce the size and weight, etc. by integrally providing an air cleaner on the upper surface of the cylinder head cover that covers the upper surface of the cylinder head. is suggesting.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in this prior art, a gas-liquid separation chamber for blow-by gas is formed inside the cylinder head cover, and an air cleaner is integrally provided above the gas-liquid separation chamber. Because this cylinder head cover is stacked in two stages such that an air cleaner is provided on the gas-liquid separation chamber, the overall height of the cylinder head cover including the air cleaner is increased by the amount of the gas-liquid separation chamber. There was a problem.
[0005]
In this case, in order to reduce the overall height of the cylinder head cover, reducing the internal volume of the gas-liquid separation chamber and air cleaner reduces the lubricating oil separation performance in the gas-liquid separation chamber and reduces intake noise in the air cleaner. Incurs a decrease in performance.
[0006]
It is a technical object of the present invention to reliably reduce the height of an air cleaner and a gas-liquid separation chamber when the cylinder head cover is provided without reducing the internal volume of the air cleaner and the gas-liquid separation chamber. To do.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve this technical problem, claim 1 of the present invention provides:
“A gas-liquid separation chamber for blow-by gas and an air cleaner are provided on the upper surface of the cylinder head cover that covers the upper surface of the cylinder head, and ignition coils for each of a plurality of cylinders arranged in a row are arranged in the direction of the cylinder row. In the internal combustion engine constructed ,
The gas-liquid separation chamber and the air cleaner are arranged so as to extend in the direction of the cylinder row side by side in the horizontal direction when viewed from the direction of the cylinder row, and the gas-liquid separation chamber projects in the height direction of the air cleaner. The air cleaner is integrated with the cylinder head cover, and the air cleaner is integrally formed on the cylinder head cover. The clean side is detachably joined to the upper surface of the dust side case with a filter element interposed therebetween. And an ignition coil for each cylinder is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the dust side case . "
Is.
[0008]
[Operation and effect of the invention]
When the gas-liquid separation chamber and the air cleaner are integrally provided in the cylinder head cover, as described above, the gas-liquid separation chamber and the air cleaner are arranged in the horizontal direction when viewed from the cylinder row direction, and the direction of the cylinder row is determined. And the gas-liquid separation chamber is formed integrally with the cylinder head cover so as to protrude in the height direction of the air cleaner . Thus, the addition of the height of the gas-liquid separation chamber can be avoided, so that the overall height of the cylinder head cover can be reduced without reducing the internal volume of the gas-liquid separation chamber and the air cleaner. The separation performance of the lubricating oil in the separation chamber and the intake noise reduction performance in the air cleaner can be lowered without incurring a decrease.
[0009]
In addition, the air cleaner includes a dust side case formed integrally with the cylinder head cover, and a clean side case that is detachably joined to the upper surface of the dust side case with a filter element interposed therebetween. Since the ignition coil for each of the plurality of cylinders in the internal combustion engine is disposed in the side case, the air cleaner also serves as a cover for the ignition coil in each cylinder, and the ignition coil flows through the air cleaner. It has the effect that it can be cooled with air.
[0010]
Moreover, since the gas-liquid separation chamber extends in the direction of each cylinder row, the internal volume in the gas-liquid separation chamber can be expanded in the direction of each cylinder row in the internal combustion engine. The performance can be further improved.
[0011]
