(Prior Art) Various engines have been known that are equipped with an auxiliary chamber that communicates with the main combustion chamber. For example, in a diesel engine, air flows from the main combustion chamber into the auxiliary chamber through a nozzle to create a vortex flow in the auxiliary chamber. A vortex chamber type is widely used in which fuel is injected into a subchamber in the generated state and ignited. In this type of engine, preventing heat dissipation from the pre-chamber and keeping the pre-chamber temperature high is effective in preventing half-fires by improving ignition performance at low temperatures, especially when the cylinder head is hot. When made of highly conductive aluminum alloy, it is strongly desired to prevent heat dissipation from the subchamber. For this reason, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-112905, the inner wall of the subchamber is formed of a ceramic member with excellent heat insulation properties. A device has been developed that can be fitted into the Note that in the sub-chamber constituent member shown in the above publication, only the lower inner wall of the sub-chamber is made of ceramic, but in order to further enhance the heat insulation effect, the entire inner wall of the sub-chamber is made of ceramic material. Something has also been proposed.

When the walls of the sub-chamber are made of a ceramic material in this way, ceramic has a lower tensile strength than metal, so when the temperature inside the pre-chamber reaches a high temperature, the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the ceramic material causes the ceramic material to break down. Tensile stress acts on the outer periphery, making it easier for cracks to occur. Various countermeasures against this have been proposed in the past. For example, in the one disclosed in the above publication, a metal ring is fitted in advance to the outer periphery of the ceramic member so as to impart compressive stress to suppress the tensile stress. Furthermore, a groove is formed on the outer periphery of the metal ring to serve as a heat insulating space to enhance the heat insulating effect. By forming a heat insulating space in this manner, the temperature difference between the inner and outer circumferences of the ceramic member can be reduced, which is advantageous in preventing cracks.

By the way, in general, in this type of engine, a sub-chamber is provided near the side of the cylinder head, a water jacket is formed on one side of the sub-chamber toward the center of the cylinder head, and a sub-chamber is formed on the opposite side of the sub-chamber. No water jacket is provided on the side (side of the cylinder head). In this structure,
When the temperature of the cooling water rises to a certain degree due to engine operation, the temperature of the water jacket side part of the outer circumference of the ceramic member is relatively high, but the temperature of the part on the opposite side is close to the outside temperature and the temperature of the water jacket side is relatively high. There is a tendency for the temperature to be lower than that at the side portions, and therefore the temperature difference between the inner and outer circumferences of the ceramic member tends to be larger on the side where the water jacket is not formed. In order to prevent the occurrence of cracks, it is desirable to minimize the temperature gradient in the circumferential direction of the ceramic member, but this point has not been paid attention to in conventional structures.

(Purpose of the invention) In view of these circumstances, the present invention further improves the heat insulation effect when the sub-chamber wall is formed of a ceramic member, reduces the temperature gradient inside and outside the ceramic member, and in the circumferential direction, thereby reducing cracks. The present invention provides an engine pre-chamber structure that can more reliably prevent such occurrence.

(Structure of the invention) The present invention is an engine in which a water jacket is formed only on one side of the auxiliary chamber communicating with the main combustion chamber, in which the wall of the auxiliary chamber is formed of a ceramic material, and the outer periphery of the ceramic material is insulated. An air layer is formed, and the thickness of the air layer is greater on the side where the water jacket is not formed than on the water jacket side. That is, heat radiation from the outer periphery of the ceramic member is suppressed by the heat insulating air layer, and heat retention is particularly enhanced for the outer periphery of the ceramic member on the side where the water jacket is not formed.

Further, a heat insulating air layer 16 is formed around the outer periphery of the ceramic member 11. This air layer 16 is
When forming the recessed hole 15 in the cylinder head 2 in advance, a predetermined area of the inner peripheral surface of the recessed hole 15 is formed in the sleeve 14.
By forming the sleeve 14 to have a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the sleeve 14, the sleeve 14 is formed in an annular shape so as to surround the entire circumference of the sleeve 14. In particular, by processing the part constituting this air layer 16 so that it is eccentric toward the side of the cylinder head 2 with respect to the ceramic member 11 and the sleeve 14, The air layer 16 is formed such that the thickness t 1 of the air layer 16 on the water jacket 10 side is greater than the thickness t 2 of the air layer 16 on the water jacket 10 side. Note that 17 indicates that the gas in the auxiliary chamber 6 is connected to the ceramic member 11.
This gasket prevents leakage into the air layer 16 from the gap between the upper part of the cylinder head 2 and the cylinder head 2.

In this auxiliary chamber structure, when ignition and combustion are repeated in the auxiliary chamber 6 and the temperature inside the auxiliary chamber 6 rises, the inner wall of the auxiliary chamber 6 is formed of the ceramic member 11 to maintain heat. Furthermore, the heat retention property is further improved by the heat insulating air layer 16 formed around the outer periphery of the ceramic member 11. Therefore, the temperature rise in the subchamber 6 is promoted. Furthermore, as the air layer 16 suppresses heat radiation from the outer periphery of the ceramic member 11, the temperature of the outer periphery of the ceramic member 11 is increased and the temperature difference with the inner periphery is reduced.

In particular, when the temperature of the cooling water in the water jacket 10 is high to a certain extent, the side part of the cylinder head 2 that is exposed to the outside air is more sensitive than the part between the water jacket 10 and the auxiliary chamber 6. There is a natural tendency for heat to be dissipated as the temperature becomes lower, but since the thickness of the air layer 16 is increased on the side of the cylinder head 2, the heat insulation effect of this area is enhanced and the heat dissipates. is suppressed. Therefore, heat retention for the auxiliary chamber 6 is improved, and the temperature gradient in the circumferential direction at the outer circumference of the ceramic member 11 is also reduced, making it possible to reduce the tensile stress caused by temperature differences between various parts of the ceramic member 11. Moreover, compressive stress is previously applied to the ceramic member 11 by the sleeve 14, and this also suppresses tensile stress.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, the present invention forms the inner wall of the auxiliary chamber with a ceramic material, provides a heat insulating air layer around its outer periphery, and particularly increases the thickness of this air layer compared to the water jacket side. Since it is larger on the side where the jacket is not formed, the heat retention of the subchamber is improved, and the temperature difference between the inner and outer peripheries of the ceramic member is reduced, and the temperature of each part of the outer periphery of the ceramic member is also reduced. It can be made uniform and the occurrence of cracks can be effectively prevented.
