Abstract

A spacer (1) is injection molded by using an injection molding die having resin flow channels that are designed such that a plurality of gates (6) are arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of a side wall part (4) in which a plurality of arc-like peripheral surface parts (2) are connected through a waist part (3). After opening the mold and ejecting the spacer, the spacer is cooled with a runner (7) being connected to the gate (6), and thereafter, the runner (7) is cut off. As a result, when producing a water jacket spacer that is assembled to the inside of the water jacket and controls the flow of cooling water by injection molding, while producing with a high productivity without being affected by design constraints caused by draft angle, deformation in the post-molding cooling step is prevented.

Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a method for producing a water jacket spacer that is assembled into the inside of a water jacket provided in a water-cooled internal combustion engine.
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • In a water-cooled internal combustion engine such as a water-cooled engine for automobiles, a water jacket serving as a cooling water-circulating channel is formed around a bore wall of a cylinder bore. Normally, by inserting and assembling a spacer (water jacket spacer) into the inside of such a water jacket, flow of cooling water is controlled.
  • Such a water jacket spacer is generally produced by injection molding by using a prescribed resin material. Patent Document 1 proposes a method in which, in order to prevent deformation of a water jacket spacer in a post-molding cooling step without using a jig for correcting the shape, the opposing parts of the cylindrical main body of the spacer to be inserted into a water jacket are connected by a connecting bride, the shape of the spacer is retained after molding, and then the connecting bridge is cut off.
    • RELATED ART DOCUMENT Patent Document
    • Patent Document 1: JP-A-2005-105878
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
  • However, in the method of Patent Document 1, a runner for introducing a molten resin into a gate is used as the connecting bridge. As for the mold structure in this case, as shown in FIG. 12, a mold piece forming the inner surface of a space 100 is allowed to be a split, and gate G is arranged at the parting line PL thereof.
  • By doing so, on the inner peripheral surface of the spacer 100, taking mold opening into consideration, it is required to provide draft angle in which inclination direction is different in the opposite sides of the parting line PL along a mold opening direction shown by an arrow in the figure. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, when assembling the spacer 100 into the inside of the water jacket WJ, it becomes impossible to allow the inner peripheral surfaces of the spacer 100 to be opposed to the wall surface of the water jacket WJ along the inclination thereof. As a result, the gap between the upper side of the bore wall BW and the spacer 100 may be widened, etc., and the cooling water may be stagnated, resulting in lowering in cooling efficiency. Therefore, the shape of the spacer has to be designed taking constraints caused by draft angle into consideration.
  • Further, generally, in order to keep the bore wall warm, as for the gap between the wall surface of the water jacket and the spacer, in many cases, a gap formed on the inner peripheral side of the spacer when assembled into the water jacket is designed to be narrower than a gap formed on the outer peripheral side of the spacer. Therefore, in the method of Patent Document 1, a problem arises that severe management is required to be conducted for burrs that remain on the inner surface of the spacer main body after gate cutting or for burrs that are formed along the parting line.
  • Further, when the connecting bridge that connects the opposing parts of the spacer main body is cut, tools for this cutting have to be inserted into the inside of the spacer main body, and as a result, handling of the tools has to be contrived in order that the tools do not interfere with the spacer main body.

    •  MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
  • Hereinbelow, an explanation will be made on the embodiment of the method for producing a water jacket spacer according to the present invention with reference to the drawings.
  • As shown in FIG. 3, a spacer 1 that is produced by the present embodiment is assembled into the inside of the water jacket WJ provided in a water-cooled inline-four engine for an automobile in which a cylinder block CBL and a cylinder head (not shown) are provided, and four cylinder bores CB arranged in series are formed in the cylinder block CBL.
  • FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing one example of a water-cooled internal combustion engine into which the spacer 1 is assembled. In FIG. 3, the spacer 1 is indicated by an alternate long and two short dashed line.
  • In the cylinder block CBL, the bore walls BW of a plurality (four in the shown example) of cylinder bores CB are formed such that they are connected to each other in a constricted manner between the adjacent cylinder bores CB to form an integral body, and, in the periphery of such bore wall BW, a water jacket WJ as the circulating channel for cooling water is formed.
  • The spacer 1 has a shape that can be inserted into the inside of the water jacket WJ, and is formed such that it can extend along the bore wall BW having a constricted shape between the adjacent cylinder bores CB. Although, normally, the spacer 1 has a shape in which a plurality (four in the shown example) of cylindrical parts are integrally connected through waists part having the similar constricted shape in a hollow shape, the specific shape thereof is not particularly restricted. The spacer 1 can be appropriately designed such that, by assembling by insertion into the inside of the water jacket WJ, the spacer 1 controls the flow of cooling water that flows inside the water jacket WJ, whereby the temperature distribution of the bore wall BW can be optimized. For example, in addition to the shape insertable along the entire circumference of the water jacket WJ, it can have a shape that it is partially insertable into the inside of the water jacket WJ.
  • The schematic shape of the spacer 1 produced in the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. In the spacer 1, side wall parts 4 in which a plurality of arc-like peripheral surface parts 2 are connected adjacently through the waist part 3 are arranged opposingly, and are connected to arc-like end surface parts 5 at the both ends in the longitudinal direction. The spacer 1 having such a shape is molded by subjecting a prescribed resin material to injection molding by using an injection molding die in which a resin flow channel is designed such that a plurality of gates 6 serving as an inlet for a resin material to be filled in a cavity are arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the side wall part 4.
  • Then, after opening the injection molding die and ejecting the molded spacer 1, the spacer is cooled while leaving the runners 7 that are continued to the gate 6 in the shape of the teeth of a comb. Thereafter, the runner 7 is cut off.
  • By doing so, the runner 7 connected to the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 4 of the spacer 1 in the shape of the teeth of a comb suppresses deformation of the spacer 1 in a softened state immediately after the ejection, whereby the shape of the spacer 1 during a period for which the spacer 1 is cooled and solidified can be retained. The runner 7 that is connected to the side wall part 4 of the spacer 1 in the shape of the teeth of a comb is cut off after the spacer 1 is fully solidified and there is no fear of deformation.
  • As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, by using the runner 7 that is formed in the resin flow channel at the time of injection molding, the shape of the spacer 1 after the molding is retained. Since the gate 6 is arranged at a position corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the side wall part, as shown in FIG. 4, it is not necessary to allow the mold piece forming the inner peripheral surface of the spacer 1 to be a split. Therefore, draft angle of the inner peripheral surface of the spacer 1 can be a fixed angle along the mold-opening direction.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing one example of a molding die used in the present embodiment.
  • Therefore, when the spacer 1 is assembled into the water jacket WJ, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner peripheral surfaces of the spacer 1 can be opposed to the wall of the water jacket WJ along the inclination thereof. As a result, flow of cooling water can be controlled smoothly without causing stagnation of the cooling water, whereby constraints caused by draft angle when designing the spacer 1 such that the temperature distribution of the bore wall BW can be optimized can be relaxed.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing an example in which the spacer 1 produced in the present embodiment is assembled to the water jacket WJ.
  • Further, since burrs remaining in the spacer 1 after cutting the gate and burrs that are formed along the parting line PL are not formed on the inner peripheral surface side of the spacer 1, control thereof becomes facilitated.
  • Further, since gate cutting is conducted on the outer peripheral surface side of the spacer 1, handling of tools used therefor is facilitated.
  • As mentioned above, according to the present embodiment, when producing the spacer 1 by injection molding, while producing the spacer 1 with a high productivity without being affected by design constraints caused by draft angle, deformation of the spacer 1 in the post-molding cooling step can be prevented.
  • Another example of the spacer 1 produced in the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 6. When retaining the shape of the spacer 1 by the runner 7 connected to the side wall part 4 of the spacer 1 in the shape of the teeth of a comb, in the branched part of the runner 7, a reinforcing part 7 a in the shape of a brace can be formed.
  • Further, in the examples shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the gate 6 is arranged at a position corresponding to the middle of the height direction of the side wall part 4 of the spacer 1. By doing so, deformation of the spacer 1 in the post-molding cooling step can be effectively prevented. As long as the shape of the spacer 1 can be retained, the position of the side wall 4 in the height direction at which the gate 6 is arranged is not restricted thereto.
  • In the examples shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the gate 6 is arranged at a position corresponding to the arc-like peripheral surface part 2 of the side wall part 4. By doing so, lowering in resin pressure hardly occurs in the vicinity of the outlet of the gate 6, and as a result, insufficient filling can be suppressed. On the other hand, there is a concern that insufficient flow such as formation of weld lines occurs in the waist part 3. Therefore, when it is necessary to avoid occurrence of insufficient flow such as formation of weld lines in the waist part 3, the gate part 6 may be arranged at a position corresponding to the waist part 3 of the side wall part 4. The position at which the gate 6 is arranged can be appropriately designed in respect of molding properties taking into consideration flow of a resin. According to need, the gate 6 may be arranged at both a position corresponding to the arc-like peripheral surface part 2 and a position corresponding to the waist part 3 of the side wall part 4.
  • In the present embodiment, no restrictions are imposed on a resin material. Polypropylene, polyamide, polyphenylsulfone or the like can be given, for example. A resin material that is excellent in heat resistance, moisture resistance, anti-freezer resistance, wear resistance or the like can be appropriately selected.
  • As mentioned above, the spacer 1 can have a shape that is partially insertable into the inside of the water jacket WJ. For example, when the spacer 1 is assembled to a part of the side from which cooling water is flown to the water jacket WJ and the spacer 1 is not assembled to the side from which the cooling water is discharged from the water jacket WJ, if the spacer 1 has a shape having the side wall part 4 in which a plurality of the arc-like peripheral surface parts 2 are connected through the waist part 3 (see FIG. 7 and FIG. 8), deformation of the spacer 1 having such a shape in the post-molding cooling step can be suppressed.
  • Hereinabove, the present invention has been explained with reference to the preferable embodiment. However, the present invention is not restricted to the above-mentioned preferable embodiment, and it is needless to say that various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.
  • For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, an explanation was made taking as an example a water jacket spacer used in a water-cooled inline-four engine for an automobile. The present invention can be applied to an inline multi-cylinder engine such as an inline-three engine. In addition, not only the inline engine, the present invention can be applied to a V-shaped engine and a horizontally-opposed engine. That is, the present invention can be widely applied to a water-cooled internal combustion engine provided with a water jacket.
    • Modification Example
  • The modification example of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 9.
  • FIGS. 9(a) to (d) each show a modification example in which the present invention is applied to an inline-three engine. In the spacer 1, side wall parts 4 in which three arc-like peripheral surface parts 2 are connected adjacently through the waist part 3 are arranged opposingly, and are connected to the arc-like end surface part 5 at the both ends in the longitudinal direction.
  • FIG. 9(a) shows an example in which a gate is arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the arc-like peripheral surface part 2 of one of the side wall parts 4 arranged opposingly, and the runner 7 is connected to one of the side wall parts 4 in the form of the teeth of a comb. FIG. 9(b) shows an example in which the gate 6 is arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the arc-like peripheral surface part 2 of the both side wall parts 4 arranged opposingly, and the runner 7 is connected to the both side wall parts 4 in the shape of the teeth of a comb.
  • FIG. 9(c) shows an example in which a gate is arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the waist part 3 of one of the side wall parts 4 arranged opposingly, and the runner 7 is connected to one of the side wall parts 4 in the shape of the teeth of a comb. FIG. 9(d) shows an example in which the gates 6 are arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the waist part 3 of both of the side wall parts 4 that are arranged opposingly, and the runner 7 is connected to the both side wall parts 4 in the shape of the teeth of a comb.
  • When arranging a gate at a position corresponding to the waist part 3, as shown in FIG. 10, by allowing the inner peripheral side of the side wall part of the waist part 3 to be plane and by allowing the gate 6 to be connected to the outer peripheral side of the side wall part through a pedestal 3 a, a gate cutting treatment can be facilitated.
  • Further, FIGS. 9(e) to (h) each show an example in which divided molded products 1 a are obtained by dividing the spacer 1 into two along the longitudinal direction, and the two divided molded products 1 a are combined to obtain the spacer 1.
  • FIG. 9(e) shows an example in which a gate is arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the arc-like peripheral surface part 2 of the side wall part 4 of the divided molded products 1 a, and the runner 7 is connected in the shape of the teeth of a comb. In such an example, as shown in FIG. 9(f), two divided molded products 1 a can be obtained.
  • FIG. 9(g) shows an example in which a gate is arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the arc-like peripheral surface part 2 of the both end sides of the side wall par 4 and at a position corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the waist part 3 of the divided molded products 1 a, and the runner 7 is connected in the shape of the teeth of a comb. In such an example, as shown in FIG. 9(h), the two divided molded products 1 a can be obtained.
  • In the examples shown in FIGS. 9(e) to (h), the spacer 1 is obtained by combining the divided molded products 1 a that are divided into two along the longitudinal direction. The spacer 1 may be obtained by combining a plurality of molded products divided at an arbitrary part. In this case, if at least one divided molded body has a shape having the side wall part 4 in which a plurality of arc-like peripheral surface parts 2 are connected through the waist part 3, by applying the present invention, deformation of the divided molded products in the post-molding cooling step can be prevented.
  • Further, when the spacer 1 is allowed to have a shape that is partially insertable into the inside of the water jacket WJ, by applying the present invention as in the case of the examples shown in FIG. 9(e) to (h), deformation in the post-molding cooling step can be suppressed.
  • As in the case of the divided molded products 1 a shown in FIGS. 9(e) to (h), if the spacer 1 has a shape having the side wall part 4 in which a plurality of arc-like peripheral surface part 2 are connected through the waist part 3 and does not have a part that becomes an undercut at the time of mold opening, for example, the spacer 1 can be molded by using an injection molding die having a structure that molds the outer peripheral side of the side wall part 4 by a fixed mold and molds the inner peripheral side of the side wall part 4 by a movable mold. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, the gate 6 may be arranged at a position that corresponds to the both ends of the spacer 1. Also by doing so, there is no need to provide draft angle on the inner circumferential surface of the spacer 1.
  • Accordingly, also by this embodiment, constraints caused by draft angle when designing the spacer 1 such that the temperature distribution of the bore wall BW can be optimized can be relaxed, and since burrs remaining in the spacer 1 after gate cutting and burrs that are formed along the parting line are also not formed on the inner peripheral surface side of the spacer 1, control thereof becomes facilitated. Further, when a gate cutting treatment is conducted, handling of tools used therefor is facilitated.
