Definitions

  • Sound-proofing means are provided for air-cooled internal combustion engines to an ever increasing extent in view of the fact that this type of engine is particularly liable to sound radiation from its external surfaces owing to the absence of a water jacket.
  • the object of the invention to provide effective sound-proofing at comparatively moderate expense particularly for air-cooled internal combustion engines with fuel reservoirs attached thereto of the type chiefly used for stationary engines.
  • the fuel reservoir is secured to the cylinder head in such a manner as to provide effective sound-proofing of the latter, the said fuel reservoir surrounding the cylinder head and preferably also part of the cylinder block as a soundabsorbing sheathing at least on three sides.
  • This design not only eliminates the transfer of sound vibrations to the fuel reservoir but serves also to subtsantially attenuate sound irradiation from such areas of the engine as are subject to the greatest concentration of noise.
  • the essential feature of the present invention resides in the fact that for the first time, an already existing functional element of the engine is used for sound-proofing purposes so that it is not necessary to make provision for separate screening means for the area of the cylinder head.
  • the fuel reservoir is particularly suitable for use as a sound-proofing element, since the fuel contained therein also attenuates sound vibrations to a certain degree.
  • a further attendant advantage of the design according to the invention stems from the almost always desirable preheating of the fuel due to the particular arrangement of the fuel reservoir.
  • the chamber enclosed by the fuel reservoir above the cyl- 3,521,726 Patented July 28, 1970 inder head is preferably closed on top by means of a sound-proofing cover resting on the fuel reservoir, thereby substantually attenuating sound irradiation upwards of the cylinder head without significantly impairing the easy access to the cylinder head for the performance of adjustments.
  • the air filter of the internal combustion engine is part of the sound-proofing sheathing and is secured to the fuel reservoir exclusively.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial sectional elevation of an air-cooled single-cylinder internal combustion engine according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the internal combustion engine shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 is a front view of the upper portion of an internal combustion engine as shown in FIG. 1.
  • crankcase 1 of the internal combustion engine carries the cylinder liner 2 provided with cooling ribs, with the superimposed cylinder head 3 clamped in the directiton of the crankcase 1 by means of studs 4 and nuts 5 with hexagonal recesses.
  • the cylinder liner 2 and the lower portion of the cylinder head 3 are surrounded by the cooling-air baffle 7 provided with a sound-proofing coating 6 and secured both to the crankcase 1 and to the cylinder head 3 with the interposition of sound-proofing packing strips 8.
  • the fuel reservoir 9 of the internal combustion engine is designed as a sound-absorbing sheathing of the cylinder head 3. As appears in particular from FIG. 2, it surrounds the cylinder head 3 on three sides.
  • the former carries alongside its inner rim an angular frame 10 connected with the fuel reservoir 9 by the interposition of a cured rubber shim 11 in such a manner as to produce a sound-absorbing effect.
  • the angular frame 10 is secured to the cylinder head 3 by means of bolts not shown in the drawing.
  • the chamber above the cylinder head 3 enclosed by the fuel reservoir 9 is closed on top by means of a cover 12 resting with its rim provided with packing strips 13 upon a shoulder of the fuel reservoir 9 and screwed by means of a central clamping bolt 14 with the interposition of a sound-absorbing ring 15 to the cylinder head 3.
  • a cover 12 resting with its rim provided with packing strips 13 upon a shoulder of the fuel reservoir 9 and screwed by means of a central clamping bolt 14 with the interposition of a sound-absorbing ring 15 to the cylinder head 3.
  • the top of the cylinder head 3 can be conveniently exposed by loosening the bolt 14 and removing the cover 12.
  • the air filter 16 of the internal combustion engine is also part of the soundproofing sheathing of the cylinder head 3.
  • the air filter 16 is secured to the side 19 of the fuel reservoir 9 by means of a clamping strip 17 and a clamping bolt 18.
  • Connection between the air filter 16 and the suction socket 20 is provided by means of a rubber sleeve 21 so as to preclude any transfer of engine vibrations to the air filter 16 also in this area.
  • An air-cooled internal combustion engine with a sound-proofing sheathing comprising a fuel reservoir secured to the cylinder head of the engine in such a manner as to provide a means for sound-proofing the same and surrounding the said cylinder head at least on three sides, thereby providing a sound-absorbing sheathing.
  • An air-cooled internal combustion engine comprising a sound-proofing cover, resting on the said fuel reservoir in such a manner as to provide a means of sound-proofing the said engine and closing the chamber enclosed by the fuel reservoir above the said cylinder head on top of same.
