 St≧BID … (1)
Each cylinder 12 forms a stroke of the piston 14 with a bore diameter of the cylinder 12 or more together with a connecting rod (not shown) and a crankshaft (not shown). In FIG. 4, the stroke of the piston 14 is indicated by “St”, and the bore diameter of the cylinder 12 is indicated by “BID”.

That is, in the first embodiment, the stroke St of the piston 14 exceeds 1.2 times the bore diameter BID of the cylinder 12.
The shape of the cylinder head portion 20 is a shape that covers the upper end of each cylinder 12. Thus, the cylinder head portion 20 forms a plurality of combustion chambers 22 together with the cylinder block portion 10.
The plurality of combustion chambers 22 are arranged with the stroke direction of the piston 14 in each cylinder 12 parallel.
 第一実施形態では、上述したように、シリンダブロック部10に三つのシリンダ12を形成する。このため、シリンダヘッド部20が、シリンダブロック部10と共に三つの燃焼室22を形成する場合について説明する。

In addition, the cylinder head portion 20 includes an intake passage 30, an exhaust passage 40, a nozzle attachment hole 24, and a plug attachment hole 26.
In addition, an out frame portion 50, an intake side cam frame portion 52, and an exhaust side cam frame portion 54 are formed in the cylinder head portion 20.
 吸気通路30は、吸気管2と燃焼室22とを連通させる通路である。また、吸気通路30は、シリンダヘッド部20の内部空間に形成する。
 第一実施形態では、一つの燃焼室22と吸気管2とを、二つの吸気通路30で連通させる場合について説明する。したがって、第一実施形態では、シリンダヘッド部20が、六つの吸気通路30を有する。
 一つの燃焼室22と吸気管2とを連通させる二つの吸気通路30は、三つのシリンダ12を配列した方向(図2中では紙面の上下方向)に沿って配列する。また、一つの燃焼室22と吸気管2とを連通させる二つの吸気通路30は、長さ方向を、シリンダ12の軸方向から見て、シリンダ12の径方向と平行に向けて形成する。
The intake passage 30 is a passage that allows the intake pipe 2 and the combustion chamber 22 to communicate with each other. The intake passage 30 is formed in the internal space of the cylinder head portion 20.
In the first embodiment, a case where one combustion chamber 22 and the intake pipe 2 are communicated with each other by two intake passages 30 will be described. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the cylinder head portion 20 has six intake passages 30.
The two intake passages 30 for communicating one combustion chamber 22 with the intake pipe 2 are arranged along the direction in which the three cylinders 12 are arranged (the vertical direction in FIG. 2). Further, the two intake passages 30 for communicating one combustion chamber 22 and the intake pipe 2 are formed with the length direction parallel to the radial direction of the cylinder 12 when viewed from the axial direction of the cylinder 12.
 吸気通路30の一方の開口端は、内燃機関1の外面に開口して、吸気管2と連通する。吸気通路30の他方の開口端は、燃焼室22に開口して、燃焼室22と連通する。
 燃焼室22に開口した吸気通路30の開口部には、吸気バルブ34が接触する。したがって、燃焼室22に開口した吸気通路30の開口部は、吸気バルブ34によって開閉する吸気バルブ孔32を形成する。
 吸気バルブ孔32は、吸気通路30のうち、燃焼室22の上面を形成する部分に開口する。

(吸気側カムフレーム部52の位置について)
 図1から図6を参照して、吸気側カムフレーム部52を、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、第二領域E2に配置した理由について説明する。
 ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、吸気側カムフレーム部52を、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、シリンダ12の軸方向から見て、一つの燃焼室22に対して設けた二つの吸気バルブ孔32の間に配置する。すなわち、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、吸気側カムフレーム部52を、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、第一領域E1に配置する。
(Regarding the position of the intake side cam frame portion 52)
The reason why the intake side cam frame portion 52 is arranged in the second region E2 in the upper surface 20a of the cylinder head portion 20 will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure, the intake-side cam frame portion 52 has two upper surfaces 20 a of the cylinder head portion 20 that are provided for one combustion chamber 22 when viewed from the axial direction of the cylinder 12. Arranged between the intake valve holes 32. That is, in the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure, the intake side cam frame portion 52 is disposed in the first region E1 in the upper surface 20a of the cylinder head portion 20.
 なお、ヘッドブロック別体化構造は、シリンダヘッド部20とシリンダブロック部10とを個々に鋳造する。そして、シリンダヘッド部20とシリンダブロック部10とを、シリンダヘッドボルトによって互いに締結した構造である。また、図2中には、説明のために、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関でシリンダヘッドボルトの仮想的な取り付け位置を、符号「VSP」を付して示す。
 ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関で、吸気側カムフレーム部52を、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、第一領域E1に配置する理由は、以下の理由である。
In the separate head block structure, the cylinder head part 20 and the cylinder block part 10 are individually cast. And it is the structure which mutually fastened the cylinder head part 20 and the cylinder block part 10 with the cylinder head bolt. Further, in FIG. 2, for the purpose of explanation, a virtual attachment position of a cylinder head bolt in an internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure is indicated by a reference numeral “VSP”.
The reason why the intake-side cam frame portion 52 is arranged in the first region E1 in the upper surface 20a of the cylinder head portion 20 in the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure is as follows.
 ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、シリンダヘッドボルトを取り付ける位置が、内燃機関に要求される強度等に応じて、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、隣り合う燃焼室22に対してそれぞれ設けた吸気バルブ孔32の間となる。
 第一実施形態の内燃機関1は、ヘッドブロック一体化構造であり、シリンダヘッドボルトを必要としない。したがって、第一実施形態では、シリンダヘッド部20及びシリンダブロック部10に、シリンダヘッドボルトを挿通する開口部や空間を形成しない。
 このため、第一実施形態では、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関でシリンダヘッドボルトを配置する位置に、吸気側カムフレーム部52を配置することが可能である。
In the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure, the cylinder head bolt is attached to the adjacent combustion chambers 22 on the upper surface 20a of the cylinder head 20 according to the strength required for the internal combustion engine. Between the provided intake valve holes 32.
The internal combustion engine 1 of the first embodiment has a head block integrated structure and does not require a cylinder head bolt. Therefore, in 1st embodiment, the opening part and space which insert a cylinder head bolt in the cylinder head part 20 and the cylinder block part 10 are not formed.
For this reason, in the first embodiment, the intake-side cam frame portion 52 can be disposed at a position where the cylinder head bolt is disposed in the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure.
(ノズル取り付け孔24の位置について)
 図1から図5を参照して、ノズル取り付け孔24を、条件式(5)が成立する位置に形成した理由について説明する。
 上述したように、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、吸気側カムフレーム部52を、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、シリンダ12の軸方向から見て、一つの燃焼室22に対して設けた二つの吸気バルブ孔32の間に配置する。このため、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、ノズル取り付け孔24を、燃焼室22の直上に形成することとなる(直上インジェクション構造)。
(Regarding the position of the nozzle mounting hole 24)
The reason why the nozzle mounting hole 24 is formed at a position where the conditional expression (5) is satisfied will be described with reference to FIGS.
As described above, in the internal combustion engine having the separate head block structure, the intake side cam frame portion 52 is located on the upper surface 20a of the cylinder head portion 20 with respect to one combustion chamber 22 when viewed from the axial direction of the cylinder 12. Between the two intake valve holes 32 provided. For this reason, in the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure, the nozzle mounting hole 24 is formed immediately above the combustion chamber 22 (direct injection structure).
 これは、燃焼室22よりも吸気管2側には吸気側カムフレーム部52が配置されており、燃料噴射ノズル16を配置する空間を、確保することが困難なためである。同様に、燃焼室22よりも排気管8側には、排気側カムフレーム部54が配置されており、燃料噴射ノズル16を配置する空間を、確保することが困難なためである。
 第一実施形態の内燃機関1は、上述したように、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関ではシリンダヘッドボルトを配置する位置に、吸気側カムフレーム部52を配置することが可能である。
 これにより、第一実施形態の内燃機関1は、燃焼室22よりも吸気管2側に、燃料噴射ノズル16を配置する空間を確保することが可能となる。したがって、第一実施形態では、ノズル取り付け孔24を、条件式(5)が成立する位置に形成することが可能となる。
This is because the intake-side cam frame portion 52 is disposed closer to the intake pipe 2 than the combustion chamber 22, and it is difficult to secure a space in which the fuel injection nozzle 16 is disposed. Similarly, the exhaust side cam frame portion 54 is disposed closer to the exhaust pipe 8 than the combustion chamber 22, and it is difficult to secure a space in which the fuel injection nozzle 16 is disposed.
As described above, in the internal combustion engine 1 of the first embodiment, in the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure, the intake-side cam frame portion 52 can be disposed at a position where the cylinder head bolt is disposed.
Thereby, the internal combustion engine 1 of the first embodiment can secure a space for disposing the fuel injection nozzle 16 on the intake pipe 2 side of the combustion chamber 22. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the nozzle mounting hole 24 can be formed at a position where the conditional expression (5) is satisfied.
(プラグ取り付け孔26の位置について)
 図1から図6を参照して、プラグ取り付け孔26を、条件式(6)が成立する位置に形成した理由について説明する。
 上述したように、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、ノズル取り付け孔24を、燃焼室22の直上に形成する。このため、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、プラグ取り付け孔26を、燃焼室22よりも排気管8側に形成する。これは、点火プラグ18と燃料噴射ノズル16との干渉を回避するためである。
 第一実施形態の内燃機関1は、上述したように、燃焼室22よりも吸気管2側に、燃料噴射ノズル16を配置する空間を確保することが可能となる。したがって、第一実施形態では、プラグ取り付け孔26を、条件式(6)が成立する位置に形成することが可能となる。
(About the position of the plug mounting hole 26)
The reason why the plug attachment hole 26 is formed at a position where the conditional expression (6) is satisfied will be described with reference to FIGS.
As described above, in the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure, the nozzle mounting hole 24 is formed immediately above the combustion chamber 22. For this reason, in the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure, the plug mounting hole 26 is formed closer to the exhaust pipe 8 than the combustion chamber 22. This is to avoid interference between the spark plug 18 and the fuel injection nozzle 16.
As described above, the internal combustion engine 1 according to the first embodiment can secure a space for disposing the fuel injection nozzle 16 on the intake pipe 2 side of the combustion chamber 22. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the plug attachment hole 26 can be formed at a position where the conditional expression (6) is satisfied.
(排気バルブ孔42の開口面積、吸気バルブ孔32の開口面積について)
 図1から図6を参照して、排気バルブ孔42の開口面積を、吸気バルブ孔32の開口面積よりも大きくした理由について説明する。
 上述したように、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、吸気側カムフレーム部52を、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、シリンダ12の軸方向から見て、一つの燃焼室22に対して設けた二つの吸気バルブ孔32の間に配置する。これに加え、ヘッドブロック別体化構造の内燃機関では、排気側カムフレーム部54を、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、シリンダ12の軸方向から見て、一つの燃焼室22に対して設けた二つの排気バルブ孔42の間に配置する。
(About the opening area of the exhaust valve hole 42 and the opening area of the intake valve hole 32)
The reason why the opening area of the exhaust valve hole 42 is larger than the opening area of the intake valve hole 32 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As described above, in the internal combustion engine having the separate head block structure, the intake side cam frame portion 52 is located on the upper surface 20a of the cylinder head portion 20 with respect to one combustion chamber 22 when viewed from the axial direction of the cylinder 12. Between the two intake valve holes 32 provided. In addition, in the internal combustion engine having a separate head block structure, the exhaust-side cam frame portion 54 is located on the upper surface 20 a of the cylinder head portion 20 with respect to one combustion chamber 22 when viewed from the axial direction of the cylinder 12. Arranged between the two exhaust valve holes 42 provided.
 これは、要求される強度等に応じて、シリンダヘッド部20の上面20aのうち、シリンダヘッドボルトを取り付ける位置が、一つの燃焼室22に対して設けた二つ一組の排気バルブ孔42の間となるためである。
 第一実施形態の内燃機関1は、上述したように、燃焼室22よりも吸気管2側に、燃料噴射ノズル16を配置する空間を確保することが可能となる。これに加え、プラグ取り付け孔26を、条件式(5)が成立する位置に形成することが可能となる。これにより、第一実施形態では、燃焼室22の排気管8側において、燃焼室22の吸気管2側よりも、空間の余裕を確保することが可能となる。
 したがって、第一実施形態では、排気バルブ孔42の開口面積を、吸気バルブ孔32の開口面積よりも大きくすることが可能となる。
This is because the position where the cylinder head bolt is attached on the upper surface 20a of the cylinder head portion 20 of the pair of exhaust valve holes 42 provided for one combustion chamber 22 according to the required strength or the like. It is because it becomes between.
As described above, the internal combustion engine 1 according to the first embodiment can secure a space for disposing the fuel injection nozzle 16 on the intake pipe 2 side of the combustion chamber 22. In addition, the plug attachment hole 26 can be formed at a position where the conditional expression (5) is satisfied. As a result, in the first embodiment, it is possible to ensure a sufficient space on the exhaust pipe 8 side of the combustion chamber 22 than on the intake pipe 2 side of the combustion chamber 22.
Therefore, in the first embodiment, the opening area of the exhaust valve hole 42 can be made larger than the opening area of the intake valve hole 32.
(動作)
 図1から図6を参照して、第一実施形態の内燃機関1を用いて行なう動作の一例を説明する。
 車両の使用時等、内燃機関1の作動時には、吸気管2から吸入した空気と、ノズル取り付け孔24から燃焼室22内へ噴射した燃料とを、燃焼室22内で混合する。そして、燃焼室22内で混合した空気と燃料との混合気に、点火プラグ18が発生させた火花を着火させ、燃焼室22内で混合気を燃焼させる。これにより、混合気の燃焼で発生したエネルギーを駆動装置6へ伝達し、燃焼後の気体を、排気管8を介して外気へ排出する。
 第一実施形態では、吸気管2に過給機CHを接続する。このため、車両の加速時等、吸気管2から燃焼室22内へ吸入する空気の量(吸気量)を増加させる場合には、過給機CHにより吸気量を強制的に増加させる。これにより、燃焼室22内へ供給する空気の充填効率を増加させる。
(Operation)
An example of an operation performed using the internal combustion engine 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
When the internal combustion engine 1 is operated, such as when the vehicle is used, the air sucked from the intake pipe 2 and the fuel injected from the nozzle mounting hole 24 into the combustion chamber 22 are mixed in the combustion chamber 22. Then, a spark generated by the spark plug 18 is ignited to the air-fuel mixture mixed in the combustion chamber 22, and the air-fuel mixture is combusted in the combustion chamber 22. Thereby, the energy generated by the combustion of the air-fuel mixture is transmitted to the driving device 6, and the burned gas is discharged to the outside air through the exhaust pipe 8.
In the first embodiment, the supercharger CH is connected to the intake pipe 2. For this reason, when the amount of air (intake amount) sucked into the combustion chamber 22 from the intake pipe 2 is increased when the vehicle is accelerated, the intake amount is forcibly increased by the supercharger CH. Thereby, the charging efficiency of the air supplied into the combustion chamber 22 is increased.
 そして、第一実施形態の内燃機関1は、排気バルブ孔42の開口面積が、吸気バルブ孔32の開口面積よりも大きい。
 このため、単位時間あたりの、排気バルブ孔42を通過可能な空気(排気)の量を、吸気バルブ孔32を通過可能な空気(吸気)の量よりも多くすることが可能となる。
 これにより、過給機CHにより吸気量を増加させた場合であっても、吸気量に対する排気量の比率が低下することを抑制して、過給機CHによる吸気量の増加分を吸収することが可能となる。
 したがって、第一実施形態では、内燃機関1に対し、排気効率の低下を抑制して、燃焼効率の低下を抑制することが可能となる。
 なお、上述した第一実施形態は、本発明の一例であり、本発明は、上述した第一実施形態に限定されることはなく、この実施形態以外の形態であっても、本発明に係る技術的思想を逸脱しない範囲であれば、設計等に応じて種々の変更が可能である。
In the internal combustion engine 1 of the first embodiment, the opening area of the exhaust valve hole 42 is larger than the opening area of the intake valve hole 32.
Therefore, the amount of air (exhaust gas) that can pass through the exhaust valve hole 42 per unit time can be made larger than the amount of air (intake air) that can pass through the intake valve hole 32.
Thus, even when the intake air amount is increased by the supercharger CH, the decrease in the ratio of the exhaust amount to the intake air amount is suppressed, and the increase in the intake air amount by the supercharger CH is absorbed. Is possible.
Therefore, in the first embodiment, it is possible to suppress a decrease in exhaust efficiency and suppress a decrease in combustion efficiency with respect to the internal combustion engine 1.
The above-described first embodiment is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described first embodiment, and the present invention may be applied to other forms than this embodiment. Various modifications can be made according to the design or the like as long as they do not depart from the technical idea.
(第一実施形態の効果)
 第一実施形態の内燃機関1であれば、以下に記載する効果を奏することが可能となる。
(1)排気バルブ孔42の開口面積を、吸気バルブ孔32の開口面積よりも大きくする。
 このため、単位時間あたりの排気量を、単位時間あたりの吸気量よりも多くすることが可能である。
 その結果、過給機CHにより吸気量を増加させた場合であっても、吸気量に対する排気量の比率が低下することを抑制して、過給機CHによる吸気量の増加分を吸収することが可能となる。
 これにより、内燃機関1に対し、排気効率の低下を抑制して、燃焼効率の低下を抑制することが可能となる。このため、内燃機関1が発生させるトルクと出力を向上させることが可能となる。
(Effects of the first embodiment)
If it is the internal combustion engine 1 of 1st embodiment, it will become possible to show the effect described below.
(1) The opening area of the exhaust valve hole 42 is made larger than the opening area of the intake valve hole 32.
For this reason, it is possible to make the exhaust amount per unit time larger than the intake amount per unit time.
As a result, even when the intake air amount is increased by the supercharger CH, the increase in the intake air amount by the supercharger CH is absorbed by suppressing a decrease in the ratio of the exhaust amount to the intake air amount. Is possible.
Thereby, with respect to the internal combustion engine 1, it is possible to suppress a decrease in exhaust efficiency and suppress a decrease in combustion efficiency. For this reason, it is possible to improve the torque and output generated by the internal combustion engine 1.
(2)ピストン14のストロークStを、シリンダ12のボア径BID以上とする。
 その結果、排気量が同一であり、ストロークStがボア径BID未満であるシリンダ12を備える内燃機関1と比較して、ピストン14の高速化を保持することが可能となるとともに、排気効率を向上させることが可能となる。
(3)ノズル取り付け孔24と排気バルブ孔42との間の距離INJ‐EXTrを、ノズル取り付け孔24と吸気バルブ孔32との間の距離INJ‐INTrよりも長くする。
 このため、ノズル取り付け孔24の位置を、内燃機関1の排気側よりも吸気側に寄せることが可能となる。これにより、燃料噴射ノズル16を、排気側よりも温度の低い吸気側に配置することが可能となる。
 その結果、燃料噴射ノズル16に発生するデポジット(カーボンデポジット)を低減させることが可能となる。
(2) The stroke St of the piston 14 is not less than the bore diameter BID of the cylinder 12.
As a result, the piston 14 can be kept at a higher speed and the exhaust efficiency can be improved as compared with the internal combustion engine 1 having the cylinder 12 having the same displacement and the stroke St less than the bore diameter BID. It becomes possible to make it.
(3) The distance INJ-EXTr between the nozzle mounting hole 24 and the exhaust valve hole 42 is made longer than the distance INJ-INTr between the nozzle mounting hole 24 and the intake valve hole 32.
For this reason, the position of the nozzle mounting hole 24 can be moved closer to the intake side than to the exhaust side of the internal combustion engine 1. As a result, the fuel injection nozzle 16 can be disposed on the intake side having a lower temperature than the exhaust side.
As a result, the deposit (carbon deposit) generated in the fuel injection nozzle 16 can be reduced.
(4)プラグ取り付け孔26と排気バルブ孔42との間の距離SP‐EXTrを、プラグ取り付け孔26と吸気バルブ孔32との間の距離SP‐INTr以上の長さとする。
 その結果、プラグ取り付け孔26の位置を、内燃機関1の排気側と吸気側との間で、吸気側に寄せた位置とすることが可能となる。すなわち、点火プラグ18を配置する位置の設計自由度が向上している。
(5)プラグ取り付け孔26を、燃焼室22の中央に配置する。
 このため、点火プラグ18が発生させる火花を、燃焼室22の中央で発生させることが可能となる。これにより、燃焼室22内における混合気の燃焼性能を向上させることが可能となる。
 その結果、内燃機関1が発生させるトルクと出力を向上させることが可能となる。
(4) The distance SP-EXTr between the plug attachment hole 26 and the exhaust valve hole 42 is set to be longer than the distance SP-INTr between the plug attachment hole 26 and the intake valve hole 32.
As a result, the position of the plug mounting hole 26 can be set close to the intake side between the exhaust side and the intake side of the internal combustion engine 1. That is, the degree of freedom in designing the position where the spark plug 18 is disposed is improved.
(5) The plug mounting hole 26 is arranged at the center of the combustion chamber 22.
For this reason, the spark generated by the spark plug 18 can be generated at the center of the combustion chamber 22. Thereby, the combustion performance of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber 22 can be improved.
As a result, the torque and output generated by the internal combustion engine 1 can be improved.
(6)一つの燃焼室22に開口した複数の排気バルブ孔42の開口面積の合計値を、一つの燃焼室22に開口した複数の吸気バルブ孔32の開口面積の合計値よりも大きくする。
 このため、過給機CHにより吸気量を増加させた場合であっても、吸気量に対する排気量の比率が低下することを抑制して、過給機CHによる吸気量の増加分を吸収することが可能となる。
