The lower water jacket is the main cooling water jacket of the cylinder head, and its water flow direction is transverse, parallel to the intake and exhaust directions. This results in a short flow path, low water resistance, and improved heat dissipation efficiency of the cylinder head. At the same time, the cooling water of each cylinder flows in parallel, ensuring consistent cooling of each cylinder in the cylinder head and avoiding excessive thermal stress caused by uneven cooling. The upper water jacket has a longitudinal flow direction perpendicular to the intake and exhaust directions, which is more conducive to the timely removal of air bubbles in the cooling water. Therefore, this double-layer water jacket is beneficial to improving the cooling efficiency of the cylinder head and enhancing the reliability and lifespan of the cylinder head.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, a double-layer water jacket includes a lower water jacket 2 and an upper water jacket 1. The upper water jacket 1 is installed above the lower water jacket 2 and has an upper water flow channel. In this embodiment, a lower water flow channel 8 is provided at the top of the lower water jacket 2. The right side of the lower water jacket 2 is the EGR side 3. The lower water flow channel 8 communicates with the cavity of the EGR side 3. The front side of the lower water jacket 2 has a total water inlet area 6. A total water inlet diversion channel 12 is provided at the total water inlet area 6. The total water inlet diversion channel 12 is close to the EGR side 3 and communicates with the lower water flow channel 8. An outlet 7 is provided at the rear end of the lower water jacket 2 near the EGR side 3. A throttling channel 9 is also provided on the lower water flow channel 8 of the lower water jacket 2. The flow direction is parallel to the intake and exhaust direction and flows laterally. The main water inlet diversion channel 12 has a Y-shaped structure on the front and rear projection planes. The cooling water is first divided into two paths from the main water inlet area 6. A small part of the water flows to the right to the EGR side 3, and most of the water flows to the left longitudinally into the area below the cylinder head exhaust passage. At the same time, each cylinder flows parallel from the exhaust side 5 to the intake side 4. This water flow direction makes the flow path of the cooling water through the cylinder head heat-prone area short and the flow resistance small. It can quickly and evenly remove the excess heat of each cylinder in the cylinder head. The cooling water of each cylinder converges below the intake pipe and then flows to the outlet 7. In this embodiment, in order to achieve the above water flow direction, a diversion channel structure is designed at the main water inlet, that is, the main water inlet diversion channel 12 is opened at the main water inlet area 6.
[0023] In this embodiment, the right side of the upper water jacket 1 is also the EGR side 3. The upper water flow channel is connected to the cavity of the corresponding EGR side 3. The throttling water channel 9 of the lower water jacket 2 is connected to the upper water flow channel. The diversion channel connecting the upper and lower water jackets 2 is the throttling water channel 9 of the upper water jacket through which the cooling water of the lower water jacket flows to the upper water jacket. These throttling water channels 9 can effectively guide the water flow according to the design flow direction requirements. At the same time, these throttling water channels 9 are both the positioning support structure of the upper and lower water jackets and the sand outlet after the cylinder head is cast.
[0024] In this embodiment, the top of the upper water jacket 1 is also provided with a plurality of water inlets 13, which are connected to the upper water flow channel. The rear end of the ECR side of the upper water jacket 1 is also provided with an outlet docking part 10 corresponding to the outlet 7. The right side of the EGR side 3 of the upper water jacket 1 is also provided with a main outlet 11, which is connected to the cavity of the EGR side 3. The flow direction of the upper water flow channel is longitudinal flow perpendicular to the inlet and outlet directions. Due to the restriction of the air inlet pipe, the upper water jacket 1 cannot allow cooling Water flows parallel from the exhaust side 5 to the intake side 4 and then converges at the outlet 7. Cooling water can only flow longitudinally from the left end of the water jacket to the right end of the water jacket at the main outlet 11, perpendicular to the intake and exhaust directions. This ensures smooth longitudinal flow of cooling water in the water jacket above the exhaust pipe. The water flow direction of the upper water jacket 1 is shown by the arrow in the figure. Considering the feasibility of the sand casting process for the water jacket, the upper water jacket 1 must ensure the smooth flow of cooling water and the successful removal of air bubbles from the cooling water. Therefore, in both cylinders... A water jacket connecting port 13 is designed on the intake side 4. In this embodiment, the rear end of the upper water jacket 1 is provided with a valve corresponding to the number of cylinders, and a water outlet 13 is provided between two adjacent valves. Furthermore, there are four cylinders. These three exhaust structures ensure that the intake side 4 of the upper water jacket can be connected to allow the cooling water to flow longitudinally towards the main outlet 11. At the same time, it also serves as the core support structure for the upper and lower water jackets 2 and the sand outlet after the cylinder head is cast. To ensure reliable exhaust, an exhaust port is also provided on the upper water jacket 1. The exhaust port 14 is connected to the inner cavity of the upper water jacket 1, and the exhaust port 14 is close to the exhaust side 5 of the upper water jacket 1. The exhaust port 14 is located at the highest point of the exhaust side 5, and also serves as the sand outlet after the cylinder head is cast. The connection structure between the EGR side 3 water jacket and the main water jacket is designed as a two-section connection, that is, there is also a conformal connection section between the upper water jacket 1 and the EGR side 3. Therefore, it ensures that the flow cross section of the water jacket is as large as possible to reduce water resistance, while also ensuring the casting strength of the overall water jacket core.
[0025] In this embodiment, the flow direction of the lower water flow channel 88 is parallel to the intake and exhaust direction, flowing laterally. The flow path is short and the water resistance is small, which can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the cylinder head. At the same time, the cooling water of each cylinder flows in parallel, ensuring the consistency of cooling of each cylinder in the cylinder head and avoiding excessive thermal stress caused by uneven cooling of the cylinder head. The flow direction of the upper water flow channel is perpendicular to the intake and exhaust direction, flowing longitudinally, which is more conducive to the timely removal of air bubbles in the cooling water. Therefore, this double-layer water jacket is beneficial to improving the cooling efficiency of the cylinder head and enhancing the reliability of the cylinder head life.
[0026] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
