Abstract

PURPOSE:To satisfactorily perform thermal conduction by means of metal sodium by sealing the metal sodium together with a vacuum part in a hollow part which lies over a portion from a valve head to a valve stem, and thereby preventing the metal sodium from reacting with other material. CONSTITUTION:A sodium cooled valve 1 adopted to intake/discharge valves of an internal combustion engine is provided with a valve head 2, a valve stem 3 and a hollow part 4 on a central axis extending from the valve head 2 to the portion around the tip of the valve stem 3. In the hollow part 4, metal sodium 5 as thermal conductive medium substantially occupying the two thirds of the volume thereof is sealed. The balance of the volume of the hollow part 4 is under a condition of vacuum 6. It is therefore possible to prevent the metal sodium 5 from reacting with other material in the hollow part 4. The metal sodium 5 is freely moved in the hollow part 4, thereby the heat of the valve head 2 is rapidly conducted to the valve stem 3.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sodium cooling valve used as an intake and exhaust valve for an internal combustion engine.

Conventional sodium cooling valves of this type have a hollow part,
As a heat transfer medium, there is one in which metal sodium is sealed in a volume smaller than the volume of the hollow part, and the remainder of the hollow part is filled with air.

In this way, the reason why not only metal sodium but also air is sealed in the hollow part is to take advantage of the vibrations when the valve is operated.
This is to cause metallic sodium to be scattered in the hollow part, thereby speeding up heat transfer from the valve head to the valve stem.

In the conventional sodium cooling valve described above, the hollow part other than the metallic sodium is filled with air, so the oxygen and moisture contained in the air react with the metallic sodium, producing sodium oxide and water. Sodium oxide, sodium hydride, etc. may be generated.

As a result, these generated substances impede the flow of the enclosed metallic sodium during valve operation, inhibiting the rapid transfer of heat from the valve head to the valve stem, and increasing the internal pressure of the hollow part. There is a risk that the water will rise abnormally and the thin walled part of the valve will burst, causing metallic sodium to spew out from there.

According to the cooling valve of the present invention having the above configuration, when the cooling valve is operated, the metal sodium (5) in the hollow part (4) is removed from the hollow part (4).
Since the rest of the interior is a vacuum (6), it will not react with other substances and no harmful substances will be generated as in the conventional one.
