- a space is provided between the muffler cover 33 and the muffler 40 so that the radiant heat of the muffler 40 is not easily transmitted to the muffler cover 33 made of synthetic resin.
- a muffler gasket 49 is provided.
- the muffler gasket 49 is, for example, a graphite sheet, and is interposed to improve the adhesion between the muffler 40 and the exhaust port 21b of the cylinder 21.
- the muffler gasket 49 not only functions as a gasket, but also serves as a heat shield plate to prevent the heat of the muffler 40 from being transmitted to the cylinder 21 side, and to guide the cooling air in a predetermined direction. Also used as.
- an opening 36 serving as a wind window is provided in the vicinity of the exhaust gas outlet 51a of the muffler cover 33.
- the opening 36 is provided adjacent to the large opening 35 serving as an outlet for the exhaust gas, and is provided to improve heat dissipation at the time of stopping and to suck outside air having a low temperature by the flow of the cooling air CA2. .
- FIG. 7 is a right side view of the chain saw 1.
- An opening 35 serving as an outlet for the exhaust gas EX1 to the atmosphere is formed on the side surface of the muffler cover 33, and the exhaust gas EX1 flowing out from the exhaust gas outlet 51a is discharged downward as indicated by an arrow.
- An opening 35 is formed between the two ribs 34, and a substantially rectangular opening 36 is formed above an imaginary line connecting the vicinity of the upper ends of the two ribs 34. Between the opening 35 and the opening 36, a beam 36a extending in the lateral direction is formed in order to increase the strength of the muffler cover 33.
- the beam 35a that extends obliquely is provided also in the opening 35, if the flow of the exhaust gas EX1 is not disturbed, it can be arbitrarily set at which position and how the beam 35a is provided.
- the exhaust gas EX1 is discharged substantially downward from the opening 35 of the muffler cover 33.
- the cooling air flows CA2 and CA3 flowing so as to cover the exhaust gas EX1 from the top to the bottom (FIG. 3). 4), and then intersects with the cooling air CA1 (see FIG. 3) flowing from the left to the right in the horizontal direction on the lower side of the muffler 40.
- the flow direction of the exhaust gas EX1 basically does not change in the downward direction even when mixed with the cooling air CA1, CA2, CA3.
- the exhaust gas EX1 is diffused and the cooling air CA1, CA2, CA3 having a sufficiently low temperature can be mixed with the exhaust gas EX1, so that the exhaust gas EX1 is discharged to the outside of the muffler cover 33.
- the temperature at the time can be greatly reduced.
- FIG. 8 is a right side view of the chain saw 1 with the muffler cover 33 removed.
- An exhaust gas passage 51 of the muffler 40 is formed in an exhaust gas regulating member 50 that is fixed to the muffler 40 with three screws 54.
- Most of the wall surface (first wall surface) of the muffler 40 on the side opposite to the engine is covered with the exhaust gas restriction member 50, but not only the size of the exhaust gas restriction member 50 but also the presence or absence of its specifications is arbitrary.
- the black thick line 51b around the exhaust gas EX1 in the discharge direction is an extension of the wall surface of the exhaust gas passage 51, and the exhaust gas EX1 is released while gradually diffusing mainly in the extension region between the thick lines.
- the discharge direction of the exhaust gas EX1 is slightly downward but slightly oblique to the rear side. Since the exhaust gas EX1 and the cooling air CA1 intersect in the region inside the outline 35b shown by the dotted line of the opening 35 of the muffler cover 33, when the exhaust gas EX1 is discharged to the outside of the muffler cover 33, the exhaust gas The temperature of EX1 can be greatly reduced. Furthermore, since a further opening 36 (see FIG. 7) is provided above the opening 35 of the muffler cover 33, room temperature air that has not been heated by the engine body 20 or the muffler 40 is passed through the opening 36 from the outside of the muffler cover 33. Can be supplied inside.
- FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the muffler cover 33.
- the muffler cover 33 has a right side surface 33a, a front side surface, an upper surface 33c, a rear side surface 33d, and a rear surface, and only two openings 35 and 36 are formed. If comprised in this way, the cooling air CA1 and CA2 which flowed into the muffler chamber will be discharged
- the cooling air CA2 is changed by the inner wall portion (shielding portion 39) of the portion indicated by the dotted line on the upper surface 33c of the muffler cover 33 from the horizontal direction from the left to the right and downward, so that the exhaust gas EX1
- the exhaust gas EX1 can be flowed substantially parallel to be combined with the exhaust gas EX1.
- an air flow layer having a low temperature can be formed between the exhaust gas EX1 and the muffler cover 33.
- the muffler cover 33 can be effectively protected from the high temperature of the muffler 40.
- the heat transfer to the muffler cover 33 is reduced in addition to the improvement of the cooling effect of the muffler 40, the distance between the muffler 40 and the muffler cover 33 can be reduced to reduce the size of the muffler cover 33. it can.
- the muffler cover 33 shown in FIG. 9 has a large exhaust gas temperature lowering effect when the engine is operating, but the flow of the cooling air CA1 and CA2 stops when the engine is stopped, so the muffler cover 33 is radiated by the heated muffler 40. Will heat up. Therefore, a muffler cover 83 is formed with a plurality of wind windows in the same manner as the muffler cover widely used in current engine working machines. An air window 91 is formed on the upper surface of the muffler cover 83, an air window 94 is formed on the right side surface, and air windows 95 and 96 are formed on the rear side surface.
- the depression 92 on the upper surface is a depression having the same shape as that of the wind window 91 adjacent to the front and rear, but the inside and the non-penetration are prevented from passing air.
- the dent 93 on the right side surface has the same shape as the front and rear adjacent wind windows 94, but is prevented from penetrating the inside.
- the ribs 84 and the openings 85 and 86 are formed in substantially the same shape as the ribs 34 and the openings 35 and 36 in the first embodiment. With this configuration, a muffler cover with good heat dissipation can be realized while maintaining the function of the shielding unit 39 shown in FIG.
- the wind shielding plate which consists of another member inside the part (for example, the part of the shielding part 39 in FIG. 9) corresponding to 93 and 94, A wind guide plate may be provided.
- a slightly thicker aluminum foil may be attached to the muffler cover 83 at the shielding portion 39.
- the cooling air CA ⁇ b> 2 that has passed through between the radiating fins 21 a of the cylinder 21 and has been diverted upwards of the muffler 40 has a wall portion (in the vicinity of the arrow 97) and a depression 92. 3 and FIG. 7 as described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7, the temperature of the exhaust gas EX1 during the operation of the engine is not impaired. Also in this modification, since the distance between the exhaust gas outlet of the exhaust gas regulating member and the intersecting region can be increased, the mixing distance between the second cooling air and the exhaust gas can be increased, and the exhaust gas temperature can be sufficiently reduced.
- the exhaust gas after mixing with the first cooling air can be discharged outside the muffler cover without being brought into contact with the exhaust outlet portion of the muffler cover. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to take out part of the cooling air from the cooling fan and form an air path different from that of the cylinder, an inexpensive and compact structure can be achieved. At this time, by extracting a part of the cooling air, the air volume for cooling the cylinder is reduced, and the cylinder temperature does not rise.
- the structure of the engine has been described using a chain saw as an example of the engine working machine.
- the engine working machine is not only an engine for a chain saw, but also other engines such as a brush cutter, a hedge trimmer, and a cutter.
- the present invention can be similarly applied to a working machine, a generator, and an engine as a small power source.
- the engine main body can be similarly applied not only to a 2-cycle engine but also to a 4-cycle engine, and various types of mufflers can be used according to work equipment.
