Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a water jacket spacer that is disposed in a groove-like coolant passage formed in a cylinder block provided to an internal combustion engine.
  • An internal combustion engine is designed so that fuel explodes within the cylinder bore when the piston is positioned at top dead center, and the piston is moved downward due to the explosion. Therefore, the upper part of the cylinder bore wall increases in temperature as compared with the lower part of the cylinder bore wall. Accordingly, a difference in the amount of thermal deformation occurs between the upper part and the lower part of the cylinder bore wall (i.e., the upper part of the cylinder bore wall expands to a large extent as compared with the lower part of the cylinder bore wall).
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a cylinder block.
  • the cylinder block includes a plurality of cylinder bores that are formed in series, and a groove-like coolant passage is formed to completely surround each cylinder bore.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses an internal combustion engine heating medium passage partition member that is disposed in a groove-like heating medium passage formed in a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine to divide the groove-like heating medium passage into a plurality of passages, the heating medium passage partition member including a passage division member that is formed at a height above the bottom of the groove-like heating medium passage, and serves as a wall that divides the groove-like heating medium passage into a bore-side passage and a non-bore-side passage, and a flexible lip member that is formed from the passage division member in the opening direction of the groove-like heating medium passage, the edge area of the flexible lip member being formed of a flexible material to extend beyond the inner surface of one of the groove-like heating medium passages, and coming in contact with the inner surface at a middle position of the groove-like heating medium passage in the depth direction due to the flexure restoring force after insertion into the groove-like heating medium passage to separate the bore-side passage and the non-bore-side passage.
  • a known water jacket spacer that is disposed in the groove-like coolant passage provided to the cylinder block has a shape that surrounds the entirety of the cylinder bores.
  • a water jacket spacer 40 illustrated in FIG. 28 has a shape that surrounds the entirety of the cylinder bores (i.e., a tubular water jacket spacer that is constricted at three positions that correspond to an area between the cylinder bores) is disposed in the groove-like coolant passage provided to the cylinder block illustrated in FIG. 1 .
  • the water jacket spacer disclosed in Patent Literature 1 has a shape that surrounds the entirety of the cylinder bores.
  • Such a water jacket spacer is produced by subjecting a synthetic resin to an injection molding process.
  • the water jacket spacer that has a shape that surrounds the entirety of the cylinder bores extends through the entirety of the groove-like coolant passage provided to the cylinder block along the circumferential direction, it is difficult to selectively and significantly change the flow rate of the coolant using such a water jacket spacer with respect to part of the groove-like coolant passage along the circumferential direction.
  • a water jacket spacer that has a shape that corresponds to part of the groove-like coolant passage along the circumferential direction.
  • the water jacket spacer 1 a has a shape that corresponds to half of the groove-like coolant passage provided to the cylinder block (see FIG. 1 ) along the circumferential direction
  • the water jacket spacer 1 b has a shape that corresponds to part (two intermediate bores) of half of the groove-like coolant passage provided to the cylinder block (see FIG. 1 ) along the circumferential direction.
  • Such a water jacket spacer is also produced by means of an injection molding process.
  • the injection molding process that is used to produce such a water jacket spacer utilizes an injection mold 41 illustrated in FIGS. 29 and 30 that forms a molding space 42 that produces a molded product in which the inner sides of two water jacket spacers are situated opposite to each other, from the viewpoint of production efficiency.
  • the molded product obtained by the injection molding process includes a main body, a spool that serves as a molten resin passage that extends from a nozzle of an injection molding machine to a runner, a runner that serves as an intermediate molten resin passage that extends from the spool to a gate, and a gate that serves as an inlet through which a molten resin flows from the runner into the molding space (main body molding space).
  • the injection molding process that is used to produce a molded product in which the inner sides of two water jacket spacers are situated opposite to each other may utilize an injection mold that includes a stationary mold, a movable mold that moves in the upward-downward direction with respect to the water jacket spacer, and a slide mold that moves in a direction at an angle of ⁇ 15° or less with respect to a direction that is perpendicular to the direction in which the cylinder bores are arranged, and is perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable mold, and forms a molding space that produces a molded product in which the inner sides of two water jacket spacers are situated opposite to each other, when clamped, clamp the injection mold, inject a synthetic resin in a molten state, cool/solidify the synthetic resin while keeping pressure, open the injection mold, and remove the molded product from the movable mold, for example.
  • the above injection molding process is normally computer-controlled so that the clamping step, the injection step, the solidification step, the mold-opening step, and the ejection step are automatically performed, and the mold-opening step is programmed so that the molded product that adheres to the movable mold is removed. Therefore, it is impossible to implement normal operation if an adhesion-to-slide phenomenon has occurred.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a water jacket spacer that can produce a water jacket spacer having a shape that corresponds to part of the groove-like coolant passage in the circumferential direction by means of injection molding while preventing the occurrence of an adhesion-to-slide phenomenon when the mold is opened.
  • the above technical problem is solved by the following method for producing a water jacket spacer.
  • a method for producing a water jacket spacer including subjecting a synthetic resin to an injection molding process to produce a water jacket spacer, the water jacket spacer being disposed in the entirety or part of a groove-like coolant passage along a circumferential direction, the groove-like coolant passage being provided to a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine that has cylinder bores,
  • the injection molding process including a clamping step that clamps an injection mold, an injection step that injects the synthetic resin in a molten state, a solidification step that cools and solidifies the synthetic resin while keeping pressure, a mold-opening step that opens the injection mold, and an ejection step that ejects an integrally molded product from the injection mold,
  • the injection mold including a stationary mold, a movable mold that moves in an upward-downward direction with respect to the water jacket spacer, and at least one slide mold (1) that moves in a direction at an angle of ⁇ 15° or less with respect to a direction that is perpendicular to a direction in which the cylinder bores are arranged, and is perpendicular to a moving direction of the movable mold, and forming a molding space when clamped by the clamping step, the molding space producing the integrally molded product that includes at least a first water jacket spacer, a second water jacket spacer, and a bridge, the first water jacket spacer and the second water jacket spacer being provided so that the inner sides thereof are situated opposite to each other, and the bridge linking the inner side or the end of the first water jacket spacer, and the inner side or the end of the second water jacket spacer, and

  • One aspect of the invention thus provides a method for producing a water jacket spacer that can produce a water jacket spacer having a shape that corresponds to part of the groove-like coolant passage in the circumferential direction by means of injection molding while preventing the occurrence of an adhesion-to-slide phenomenon when the mold is opened.
