The following exemplary embodiments are described in connection with what is presented in the accompanying drawings, which are not necessarily drawn to scale. In the following description, like reference numerals refer to like elements unless the context clearly suggests otherwise.

[0043] First, the terms involved in the present application are explained:

[0044] Insert casting: insert casting is to insert the already shaped parts into the inside of the casting by casting method.

[0045] Sand core: a solid structure with a special shape made by mixing foundry sand, resin and some additives in a certain proportion, used to form the inner cavity, hole and part of the casting shape that cannot be sand blasted.

[0046] Core head: the end of the sand core is called the core head, which refers to the part of the sand core that extends out of the casting and does not contact the metal, serving to fix and position the sand core in the mold cavity.

[0047] The inventor of the present application found in practical research that the cylinder cover comprises a cylinder cover body, an oil injector and an oil injector bushing. The cylinder cover is provided with an oil injection port, the oil injector is located in the oil injection port, and the oil injector bushing is located between the cylinder cover body and the oil injector. In the related art, there are two methods of press fitting and machining for the conventional manufacturing method of the cylinder cover oil injector bushing structure. The oil injector bushing prepared by the press fitting method may have a problem of poor sealing between the oil injector bushing and the cylinder cover body, and leakage may occur. The oil injector bushing prepared by machining also has a defect problem, and may also have a problem of poor sealing. In addition, the cost of machining the bushing is high.

[0048] Therefore, the cylinder cover, the manufacturing method thereof and the engine provided in the embodiments of the present application can achieve the following effects. The positioning structure and the connecting structure are arranged between the oil injector and the cylinder cover body, and the connecting structures are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the oil injector bushing. The oil injector bushing and the cylinder cover body can be connected by the embedded connection of the embedded part and the embedded groove in the connecting structure, so that the cylinder cover body and the oil injector bushing are firmly combined, the sealing performance of the cylinder cover is improved, and the liquid leakage failure rate of the cylinder cover is reduced. The oil injector is axially fixed in the cylinder cover body by the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove in the positioning structure, so that the oil injector does not rotate and does not move up and down during the machining process, and the stability of the cylinder cover in the subsequent machining process is improved. In addition, the material selection range of such an oil injector bushing is wider than that of other bushings, and relatively cheap A3 steel, cast iron and other materials can be selected, so that the production cost is reduced. At the same time, the manufacturing method of the cylinder cover can reduce the machining workload, save the post-machining manual process, reduce the machining cost and save the labor cost. By assembling the above-mentioned cylinder cover in the engine, the performance of the engine is improved.

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below in combination with the drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar components or components with the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a cylinder cover, comprising a cylinder cover body 101, an oil injector 102 and an oil injector bushing 103, the cylinder cover body 101 is provided with an oil injection port; the oil injector bushing 103 is sleeved on at least part of the outside of the oil injector 102, the oil injector 102 sleeved with the oil injector bushing 103 is installed in the oil injection port, and the oil injector bushing 103 is located between the cylinder cover body 101 and the oil injector 102.

[0051] Specifically, the cylinder cover is an important part of the engine, which is used to close the cylinder and form a combustion chamber. The oil injector bushing 103 is a matched part used to be sleeved on the outside of the oil injector 102 to achieve the effects of sealing, anti-wear and protection.

[0052] The positioning structure 203 and the connecting structure 202 are arranged between the oil injector bushing 103 and the cylinder cover body 101, the positioning structure 203 and the connecting structure 202 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the oil injector bushing 103, and the oil injector bushing 103 and the cylinder cover body 101 are connected through the positioning structure 203 and the connecting structure 202.

[0053] In a possible specific embodiment, the connecting structure 202 is arranged between the oil injector bushing 103 and the cylinder cover body 101. Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the connecting structure 202 has a plurality of connecting structures 202, and the plurality of connecting structures 202 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the oil injector bushing 103; at least one of the connecting structures 202 is arranged close to the positioning structure 203.

[0054] As a possible implementation, the connecting structure 202 can include an embedding piece 2011 and an embedding groove 2012, the embedding piece 2011 is arranged on one of the cylinder cover body 101 and the oil injector bushing 103, and the embedding groove 2012 is arranged on the other one of the cylinder cover body 101 and the oil injector bushing 103; the embedding piece 2011 and the embedding groove 2012 are embeddedly connected.

[0055] Specifically, the connecting structure 202 is used for the combination of the oil injector bushing 103 and the cylinder cover body 101, and the embedding piece 2011 and the embedding groove 2012 included therein can include a hobbing structure and an anti-rotation structure, so that the oil injector bushing 103 and the cylinder cover body 101 are closely combined through the texture, and the sealing performance is improved. Taking the hobbing structure as an example, the embedding piece can be a convex part on the hobbing structure, and the embedding groove can be a concave part on the hobbing structure, and the shapes of the convex part and the concave part are matched.

[0056] That is, the opposite surfaces of the oil injector bushing 103 and the cylinder head body 101 are provided with the hobbing structure, the protruding part in the hobbing structure of the surface of the oil injector bushing 103 forms the fitting part 2011, which is fitted with the fitting groove 2012 formed by the recessed part of the hobbing structure of the surface of the cylinder head body 101; or, the recessed part in the hobbing structure of the surface of the oil injector bushing 103 forms the fitting groove 2012, which is fitted with the fitting part 2011 formed by the protruding part of the hobbing structure of the surface of the cylinder head body 101.

[0057] The reserved part 204 is a smooth surface part, which is used for positioning and fitting the oil injector bushing 103 with the side surface of the upper water jacket core 303 and the lower water jacket core 304. The reserved part 204 can be divided into three sections, and a connecting structure 202 is arranged between each two adjacent sections, so as to ensure the positioning and connecting stability of the oil injector bushing 103 in the horizontal direction of the sand core.

[0058] As an implementable embodiment, the positioning structure 203 comprises a positioning protrusion 2013 and a positioning groove 2014, the positioning protrusion 2013 is arranged at the first end of the oil injector bushing 103, the extending direction of the positioning protrusion 2013 is crossed with the extending direction of the oil injector bushing 103, and the positioning groove 2014 is arranged on the cylinder head body 101.

[0059] The positioning protrusion 2013 is embedded in the positioning groove 2014, and the positioning protrusion 2013 and the positioning groove 2014 jointly limit the movement of the oil injector bushing 103 relative to the cylinder head body 101 in the axial direction of the oil injector bushing 103.

[0060] Specifically, the positioning protrusion 2013 can be a reverse conical structure, that is, the cross-sectional area of the positioning protrusion 2013 gradually decreases in the direction away from the oil injector bushing 103, and the end of the positioning protrusion 2013 away from the oil injector bushing 103 is a plane, thereby forming a structure similar to a reverse cone. In this way, the top end of the oil injector bushing 103 (i.e., the position of the positioning protrusion) and the cylinder head body 101 can be embedded, combined closely, and the oil injector bushing 103 will not move in the height direction during processing.

[0061] The positioning protrusion 2013 can be a flange arranged around the outer periphery of the oil injector bushing 103, which can surround the entire outer periphery of the oil injector bushing 103, that is, a complete annular structure; correspondingly, the positioning groove 2014 can be an annular groove surrounding the entire inner annular wall of the oil injection port of the cylinder head body 101. The positioning protrusion 2013 can also surround part of the outer periphery of the oil injector bushing 103, that is, a ring segment structure; correspondingly, the positioning groove 2014 can be an annular groove surrounding part of the inner annular wall of the oil injection port of the cylinder head body 101.

[0062] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the positioning protrusion 2013 can be perpendicular to the extending direction of the oil injector bushing 103, or have an included angle less than 90 degrees, and the specific value of the included angle is not limited in the present application.

[0063] The outer circumferential surface of the oil injector bushing 103 has at least two reserved portions 204, and a gap is formed between the reserved portion 204 and the cylinder head body 101. At least one connecting structure 202 is located between two adjacent reserved portions 204.

[0064] As an implementable embodiment, the wall thickness of the oil injector bushing 103 is greater than or equal to 1.2 mm and less than or equal to 1.7 mm. If the wall thickness of the oil injector bushing 103 is less than 1.2 mm, the gap position between the oil injector bushing 103 and the cylinder head body 101 is relatively weak, and the strength at this position is insufficient. If the wall thickness of the oil injector bushing 103 is greater than 1.7 mm, the wall thickness of the cylinder head water cavity is occupied, which causes the sand core structure around the oil injector to be relatively weak. During the operation of the engine, the cylinder head bears the thermal load applied by the high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas, and the excessive thickness of the wall thickness of the oil injector bushing is not conducive to the heat load dissipation. In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the oil injector bushing 103 can be any one of 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm and 1.6 mm, or any value between any two of them, and the specific value of the wall thickness of the oil injector bushing 103 is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0065] As an implementable embodiment, the material of the oil injector bushing 103 includes stainless steel, A3 steel, and cast iron.

[0066] Specifically, the positioning structure 203 and the connecting structure 202 are obtained by machining the A3 steel material initial oil injector bushing 201. The positioning structure 203 includes the positioning protrusion 2013 and the positioning groove 2014, and the connecting structure 202 includes the fitting piece 2011 and the fitting groove 2012. The positioning protrusion 2013 and the positioning groove 2014 jointly limit the movement of the oil injector bushing 103 along the axial direction of the oil injector bushing 103 relative to the cylinder head body 101, the fitting piece 2011 and the fitting groove 2012 are connected to ensure the connection between the oil injector bushing 103 and the cylinder head body 101, and the A3 steel material oil injector bushing 103 can make the cylinder head work normally. In addition, the cost of A3 steel is lower than that of stainless steel, which can significantly reduce the production cost of the cylinder head.

[0067] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , in a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a manufacturing method of a cylinder head, which comprises:

[0068] S100: providing a casting shell, a combined core and an initial injector bushing, the combined core comprising a base core, a lower jacket core, an upper jacket core, a positioning core and an upper cover core.
