[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention applies ceramic materials to improve thermal efficiency, heat resistance,
This invention relates to the structure of the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, particularly the periphery of the swirl chamber or the pre-chamber of a gasoline engine, which has improved durability and economical efficiency.

To form the swirl chamber of an internal combustion engine, regardless of whether it is a Ganlin engine or a diesel engine, it has been customary to use a heat-resistant alloy, since the chamber mouthpiece and other components are exposed to high temperatures.

However, from the viewpoints of material saving, weight reduction, and economic efficiency, it is desired to replace it with other inexpensive materials that are heat resistant and durable.

From this point of view, it is conceivable to construct the surrounding wall of the swirl chamber, especially the chamber mouthpiece, from ceramic material. The key to practical application is whether it can be maintained without difficulty, and how it can be replaced with ceramic materials without making essential design changes to the current engine configuration, which has been determined by considering various characteristics such as combustion characteristics. This is an important issue.

本発明は、これらの問題を解消した機関の渦流室の構造

An object of the present invention is to provide a structure of a swirl chamber for an engine that eliminates these problems.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the structure of a swirl chamber of an engine according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a cylinder head made of cast iron, aluminum, aluminum alloy, etc., and 2 is an intake port or an exhaust port.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a chamber base, and a passage 5 communicating with the vortex chamber 4 is provided through the center of the chamber base.

Ceramic material itself is difficult to cut, but the shape of the material before sintering can be processed extremely easily, and therefore the precision of parts that require precision can be achieved during molding. Even in the worst case, where the material shrinks in a similar manner after firing, it can be finished with sufficient precision by only a slight grinding process after firing.

During assembly, the chamber cap 3 made of a ceramic material is fitted into the chamber cap holding hole 1a of the cylinder head 1 by light driving or shrink fitting.

これによって運搬時にチャンバ口金3がシリンダヘッド
1から外れることはなく、また、チャンバ口金3にシリ

As a result, the chamber base 3 will not come off from the cylinder head 1 during transportation, and no excessive load will be applied to the chamber base 3 from the cylinder head 1.

At least one pin hole 6 having a cylindrical surface extending in a direction parallel to the center line of the chamber mouthpiece 3 is formed across both the chamber mouthpiece 3 made of ceramic material and the cylinder head 1. A heat-resistant spring pin γ made of material is driven into the spring pin γ.

In order to prevent the spring pin 7 from coming out, after the spring pin 7 is driven into the pin hole 6, the cylinder head 1
The opening portion of the pin hole 6 is provided with a caulking or a retaining bundle.

少間隙が生じても、スプリングピン7の弾圧力を利用し

するためである。
Here, the reason why the spring pin 7 is used as the pin is that even if a slight gap occurs between the cylinder head 1 and the chamber cap 3 at the time of maximum thermal expansion, the elastic force of the spring pin 7 is used to provide cushioning and prevent loosening. This is to hold the chamber cap 3.

また、ピン穴6はシリンダヘッド1とチャンバ口金3の
両者にまたがらせたのは、回転方向の位置決めを果たさ
せるためである。
Further, the reason why the pin hole 6 is made to straddle both the cylinder head 1 and the chamber mouthpiece 3 is to perform positioning in the rotational direction.

In this case, the pin hole 6 is provided with its center shifted toward the cylinder head 1 so that the majority of its cross section is located in the cylinder head 1, but this is due to the contact area of the spring pin γ with the cylinder head 1. Increase spring pin 7
This is to make positioning more effective.

Chamber mouthpiece holding hole 1a formed in cylinder head 1
is formed in a stepped manner, and a gas seal 8 is interposed between this stepped surface 1b and the insertion side end surface of the chamber mouthpiece 3.

ンダヘッド1とチャンバ口金3間のチャンバ口金中心線

This gas seal 8 connects the chamber mouthpiece 3 and the cylinder head 1.
It functions as a gas seal on the contact surface with the cylinder head 1 and the chamber mouthpiece 3, and also serves as a buffer for the difference in thermal expansion between the cylinder head 1 and the chamber mouthpiece 3 in the direction of the centerline of the chamber mouthpiece.

このために、ガスシール8は、石綿、ガラス繊維等の他
、塑性変形し易い鋼板、アルミ板等から形成されること

For this reason, it is desirable that the gas seal 8 be formed of asbestos, glass fiber, or the like, as well as a steel plate, an aluminum plate, or the like, which are easily plastically deformed.

上記の構成を有する渦流室構造の作用について説明する
The operation of the swirl chamber structure having the above configuration will be explained.

渦流室4は機関運転時に高温となるが、チャンバ口金3

優れているので、ディーゼル機関チャンバ用としては着
火性上好ましい。
The swirl chamber 4 becomes hot during engine operation, but the chamber mouthpiece 3
Since it is made of a ceramic material, it has poor heat conduction and excellent heat retention, so it is preferable for use in diesel engine chambers in terms of ignitability.

圧縮応力に対して強いセラミック材に損傷は生じない。
Furthermore, since the chamber cap 3 is fixed to the cylinder head 1 by light press-fitting, not only is excessive stress not generated in the ceramic material when the cylinder block and cylinder head 1 are tightened, but the stress is also compressive stress. No damage occurs to the ceramic material, which is resistant to compressive stress.

また、チャンバ口金3はプリロードをかげて打込まれた
スプリングピン7によって弾圧保持されているので、シ
リンダヘッド1との間に熱膨張差が生じてもその保持は
維持される。
Further, since the chamber mouthpiece 3 is elastically held by the spring pin 7 driven with a preload, the holding is maintained even if a difference in thermal expansion occurs between the chamber mouthpiece 3 and the cylinder head 1.

そしてスプリングピン7はシリンダヘッド1を介して冷
却水により冷却されているので弾圧力が失われることは
ない。
Since the spring pin 7 is cooled by cooling water via the cylinder head 1, the elastic force is not lost.

Sealing is performed between the upper surface of the chamber mouthpiece 3 and the stepped surface 1b of the cylinder head 1 by a gas seal 8 that also serves as a buffer, so even if a slight gap occurs between the cylinder head 1 and the chamber mouthpiece 3 in the radial direction, , the sealing performance is not impaired.

That is, since the chamber cap is made of a ceramic material, it is possible to improve the engine's thermal efficiency and fuel efficiency by improving ignitability, and it is also possible to reduce cost and weight compared to conventional chamber caps.

In addition, because the ceramic chamber cap and cylinder head are fitted together by a light hammer and spring pin, the chamber cap can be fixed to the cylinder head without damaging the ceramic material, and it also prevents backlash due to the slight gap that occurs during maximum thermal expansion. The problem can also be solved.

Furthermore, since the spring pin is driven into the pin hole extending through both the chamber mouthpiece and the cylinder head, the chamber mouthpiece can be positioned at the same time in the rotational direction.

ンエンジンの副室の組付けにもそのまま応用できる。
Note that this method of fitting ceramic and metal can also be applied directly to the assembly of the subchamber of a gasoline engine.
