Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of engines, and in particular to a structure for improving the sealing and cooling performance of a cylinder head. Background Art

[0002] Each cylinder flange of the existing cylinder head 10 is fastened with only two bolts. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the two-hole flange structure only has two upper and lower bolt holes and the first recessed part between the flange structures. In this way, the tightening force is concentrated around the bolts. At high temperatures, the exhaust pipe is deformed, the gasket seal fails, and the thermal deformation of the exhaust pipe interferes with the bolts. The stress will be transmitted to the cylinder head through the bolts, causing cracks in the cylinder head screw holes. This proposal solves the existing fault by improving the flange structure connecting the cylinder head and the exhaust pipe, while improving the internal water jacket structure, strengthening the cooling and tightening and sealing capabilities at the flange,
