[0060] The cavity end cover 14 is arranged on the crankcase 1, and the cavity end cover 14 cooperates with the crankcase 1 to form the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3. In the embodiment, the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3 are integrally arranged on the crankcase 1, so that the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3 are integrated on the crankcase 1, which can not only reduce the arrangement of the engine related pipelines, but also make the structure of the engine more compact, reduce the cost, and improve the cooling efficiency of the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3 on the engine.
[0061] The arrangement of the cavity end cover 14 can facilitate the opening of the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3, and facilitate the maintenance of the parts inside the crankcase 1 through the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3.
[0062] In order to improve the sealing performance between the cavity end cover 14 and the crankcase 1, an end face groove is arranged on the edge of the cavity end cover 14 and distributed along the end face of the cavity end cover 14, and an end face sealing strip 141 cooperating with the end face groove is arranged in the end face groove.

When the small circulation function is needed, the small circulation end pipe 6 can be machined to be open, so that the engine has a small circulation structure, and the production line for producing different versions of motorcycle engines is omitted, and the production cost of the motorcycle engine is reduced.
[0064] In addition, the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3 are integrally arranged on the crankcase 1, which can not only reduce the arrangement of the engine related pipelines, but also make the structure of the engine more compact, reduce the production cost, and improve the cooling efficiency of the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3 on the engine.
[0065] The embodiment is similar to the structure of the embodiment 2, and the difference is that the thermostat 7 comprises a mounting shell and a temperature sensing element 76 arranged in the mounting shell; the mounting shell is mounted in the mounting cavity 4. The mounting shell comprises an upper seat 71 and a lower seat 72, and the upper seat 71 and the lower seat 72 are connected by a plurality of connecting strips 73; the side wall of the upper seat 71 is provided with a plurality of water passing holes 711, facilitating the flow of cooling water between the mounting cavity 4 and the water outlet pipe 5. The temperature sensing element 76 is in a strip shape, and when the temperature rises, the temperature sensing element 76 can gradually elongate with the increase of the temperature, and when the temperature decreases, the length gradually shortens. One end of the temperature sensing element 76 abuts against the upper seat 71, and the other end of the temperature sensing element 76 passes through the lower seat 72 to connect a lower valve plate; the temperature sensing element 76 is sleeved with a first spring 74, one end of the first spring 74 abuts against the lower seat 72, and the other end of the first spring 74 is provided with an upper valve plate 75; the first spring 74 pushes the upper valve plate 75 to move upward to block the inlet of the water outlet pipe 5, so that the water outlet pipe 5 is separated from the mounting cavity 4.
[0066] Specifically, the upper abutting ring 761 is arranged on the outer side wall of the upper end of the temperature sensing element 76, and the inner and outer rings of the upper valve plate 75 abut against the upper abutting ring 761 and the circumferential direction of the upper seat 71 respectively, so as to block the gap between the temperature sensing element 76 and the upper seat 71, thereby separating the water outlet pipe 5 from the mounting cavity 4 and preventing the cooling water from flowing out of the water outlet pipe 5.
[0067] In the engine temperature low state, the first spring 74 pushes the upper valve plate 75 to block the gap between the temperature sensing element 76 and the upper seat 71, so as to prevent the cooling water from flowing out of the water outlet pipe 5, and at this time, the lower valve plate is separated from the small circulation end pipe 6, so that the cooling water can flow smoothly in the small circulation end pipe 6, and the small circulation end pipe 6 can smoothly perform the small circulation of the engine.
[0068] With the increase of the engine temperature, the temperature of the cooling water gradually increases, so that the temperature sensing element 76 elongates, so that the upper abutting ring 761 can overcome the force of the first spring 74 to push the upper valve plate 75 to move, so that the upper valve plate 75 is separated from the upper seat 71, and the cooling water enters the water outlet pipe 5 through the mounting cavity 4, and finally flows into the water tank to perform the large circulation. At the same time, the elongated temperature sensing element 76 pushes the lower valve plate to abut against the opening of the small circulation end pipe 6 to block the small circulation end pipe 6, so that the engine stops the small circulation. That is, through the above structure, the opening and closing of the large circulation and the small circulation of the engine can be automatically controlled.
[0069] In one embodiment, a lower abutting ring 762 is arranged at the bottom of the temperature sensing element 76, and a second spring 77 is arranged below the temperature sensing element 76, and the second spring 77 pushes the lower valve plate to abut against the lower abutting ring 762. With the elongation of the temperature sensing element 76, when the lower valve plate abuts at the opening of the small circulation end pipe 6, the lower valve plate can slide on the temperature sensing element 76, so that the strength of the lower valve plate abutting at the opening of the small circulation end pipe 6 can be avoided to be too large due to the over-elongation of the temperature sensing element 76.
[0070] In the present application, a small circulation end pipe 6 is arranged in the installation cavity 4 where the thermostat 7 is installed, and a blocking section 61 is arranged in the end pipe 6 to block the end pipe 6, and whether the small circulation function is used can be determined according to the performance requirement of the engine, and when the small circulation function is needed, the small circulation end pipe 6 can be machined to be opened, so that the engine has a small circulation structure, and the production line of different versions of motorcycle engines is omitted, and the production cost of the motorcycle engine is reduced.
[0071] In addition, the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3 are integrally arranged on the crankcase 1, which not only can reduce the arrangement of the engine related pipelines, so that the structure of the engine as a whole can be more compact, the production cost is reduced, and the cooling efficiency of the liquid inlet cavity 2 and the liquid return cavity 3 on the engine is improved.
[0072] The above-described embodiments are only the preferred schemes of the present application, and do not limit the present application in any form, and other variants and modifications are also possible without exceeding the technical schemes recited in the claims.

One end of the temperature sensing element abuts against the upper seat, and the other end of the temperature sensing element passes through the lower seat and is connected to a lower valve plate. A first spring is disposed outside the temperature sensing element. One end of the first spring abuts against the lower seat, and the other end of the first spring is disposed on an upper valve plate. The first spring pushes the upper valve plate to move upward to block the inlet of the water outlet pipe, thereby separating the water outlet pipe from the mounting cavity.
7. The motorcycle engine with a small circulation pipe arrangement structure according to claim 6, characterized in that, A lower abutment ring is provided at the bottom of the temperature sensing element, and a second spring is sleeved below the temperature sensing element. The second spring pushes the lower valve plate to abut against the lower abutment ring.
8. The motorcycle engine with a small circulation pipe arrangement structure according to claim 6, characterized in that, The upper seat has several water-permeable holes on its side wall.
