Description
Technical Field

[0002] To ensure optimal fuel economy and compliance with emission standards, the engine needs to increase boost pressure, injection pressure, and optimize advance angle. However, these measures will increase engine power output and other indicators, significantly increasing the mechanical and thermal loads on engine components and placing higher demands on the cooling performance of the cylinder head.
[0003] The cylinder head, located at the top of the engine, is one of the most important engine components. Its main function is to seal the combustion gases in the cylinders, introduce fresh air into the cylinders, and expel the hot combustion gases. The cylinder head bears the mechanical load caused by gas forces and fastening bolts, and also experiences high thermal loads due to contact with hot combustion gases. To reduce the thermal load, a cooling structure is designed inside the cylinder head, focusing on cooling the high-temperature areas to meet reliability requirements. Traditional cylinder head cooling solutions typically involve coolant entering the lower water jacket of the cylinder head, then flowing from the lower jacket into the upper water jacket before exiting the engine.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0041] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0043] To reduce heat load, a cooling structure is designed within the cylinder head, focusing on cooling the high-temperature areas of the cylinder head to meet reliability requirements. Traditional cylinder head cooling systems typically involve coolant entering the lower water jacket of the cylinder head, then flowing from the lower jacket into the upper water jacket before exiting the engine. However, the nose area between the two exhaust ports is a critical area for cylinder head cooling due to the combined effect of high-temperature combustion gases and exhaust gases. Traditional solutions provide insufficient cooling performance in this area, resulting in poor cylinder head reliability. To address this, this embodiment provides an engine cylinder head cooling water chamber structure that enhances coolant flow, prevents cylinder head cracking and premature valve seat wear, improves cylinder head cooling reliability, further reduces cylinder head temperature, and enhances cylinder head cooling performance.
[0044] like Figures 1-6As shown, in this embodiment, the engine cylinder head cooling water chamber structure has a first water chamber 1 and a second water chamber 2. The first water chamber 1 is located below the second water chamber 2 and is connected to the second water chamber 2 through a connecting hole 3. The first water chamber 1 has a water inlet 5 located on the intake side 4 of the cylinder head, and the second water chamber 2 has a water outlet 7 located on the exhaust side 6 of the cylinder head. The engine cylinder head cooling water chamber structure includes a combustion chamber and a baffle plate 13. The combustion chamber is provided with injector holes 8. Along the circumferential direction of the injector holes 8, the combustion chamber is provided with two intake ports 9 and two exhaust ports 10. A first water channel 11 is provided between the two exhaust ports 10 and is connected to the first water chamber 1. A second water channel 12 is provided between adjacent intake ports 9 and exhaust ports 10 and is connected to the first water channel 11. The second water channel 12 is connected to the second water chamber 2 through a connecting hole 3. A deflector 13 is disposed in the combustion chamber and located at the water inlet 5. The deflector 13 guides the coolant in the first water chamber 1 to flow along the circumference of the exhaust port 10 to the first water passage 11. Specifically, the cooling water chamber structure of the cylinder head is generally divided into a lower layer with a first water chamber 1 and an upper layer with a second water chamber 2. A cast injector hole 8 is arranged in the center. The left side of the cylinder head is the intake side 4, and the right side is the exhaust side 6. The first water chamber 1 and the second water chamber 2 are connected by a connecting hole 3 located on the exhaust side 6. During engine operation, the coolant generates a certain number of bubbles through heating and agitation. The movement trend of the bubbles in the coolant is always from bottom to top. A coolant inlet 5 located on the intake side 4 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder head. The flow trend of the coolant in the cylinder head is from bottom to top, which is consistent with the movement trend of the bubbles in the coolant. This facilitates the removal of bubbles and prevents the bubbles in the coolant from locally accumulating into cavities that would hinder the heat transfer of the cylinder head. The second water chamber 2 is provided with an intake valve guide hole and an exhaust valve guide hole. The exhaust valve guide hole is the key area for cooling of the upper water jacket. The coolant in the second water chamber 2 enters from the exhaust side 6. After the coolant is collected in the second water chamber 2, it flows to the front end and flows out of the cylinder head.
[0045] The bottom of the cylinder head has four air intakes, forming a rhombus shape when connected by their centers. These include two intake ports (9) and two exhaust ports (10). A first water channel (11) is located between the two exhaust ports (10), and a second water channel (12) is located between adjacent intake and exhaust ports (9 and 10). The first water channel (11) is heated by the combined combustion and exhaust gases, making it a key area for cylinder head cooling. Coolant enters the first water chamber (1) through the cylinder head's inlet (5) and then flows to the exhaust side (6) via a guide plate (13). Guided by the guide plate (13), the coolant flows along the circumference of the exhaust ports (10) towards the first water channel (11), creating a "V"-shaped flow pattern. This enhances the coolant flow rate in the first water channel (11), increases the coolant velocity, and prevents cracking of the first and second water channels (11 and 12) and premature wear of the valve seats, thus improving the cooling reliability of the cylinder head. Finally, the coolant flows through the second water channel 12 and enters the second water chamber 2 through the connecting hole 3. After being collected in the second water chamber 2, the coolant flows out from the outlet 7 on the exhaust side 6. The coolant enhances the cooling of the second water channel 12, reduces the temperature of the cylinder head, and improves the cooling performance of the cylinder head.
[0046] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figures 1-6 The engine cylinder head cooling water chamber structure also includes a partition plate 14, which is located between the first water chamber 1 and the second water chamber 2, and is spaced apart from the exhaust side 6 to form a connecting hole 3. Specifically, the cylinder head cooling water chamber structure has a partition plate 14 in the middle, and the first water chamber 1 and the second water chamber 2 are connected through the connecting hole 3. While separating the first water chamber 1 and the second water chamber 2, the partition plate 14 can also connect the cylinder head bolts, intake and exhaust passages, and intake and exhaust side 6 plates. The partition plate 14 has the function of improving the rigidity and strength of the cylinder head, reducing the overall deformation of the cylinder head, and improving the reliability of the cylinder head.
[0047] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figures 1-6 Along the circumference of the exhaust port 10, a first connecting water channel 15 is provided around the periphery of the exhaust port 10. The first water chamber 1 is connected to the first water channel 11 through the first connecting water channel 15. Specifically, the coolant enters the first water chamber 1 through the inlet 5, and then flows to the exhaust side 6 under the action of the guide plate 13. After being guided to the exhaust side 6, the coolant flows through the first connecting water channel 15 to the first water channel 11. The coolant flow is "V" shaped, which enhances the coolant flow rate of the first water channel 11, increases the coolant flow velocity, avoids cracking at the first water channel 11 of the cylinder head, and enhances the reliability of the cylinder head.
[0048] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figures 1-6A third water channel 16 is provided between adjacent air inlets 9 and exhaust outlets 10. The third water channel 16 is spaced apart from the first connecting water channel 15. A middle water channel 17 is provided around the periphery of the injector hole 8 along the circumferential direction of the injector hole 8. The water inlet of the third water channel 16 is connected to the first water chamber 1, and the water outlet of the third water channel 16 is connected to the second water channel 12 through the middle water channel 17. A fourth water channel 18 is provided between the two air inlets 9. The water outlet of the fourth water channel 18 is connected to the second water channel 12 through the middle water channel 17. A second connecting water channel 19 is provided around the periphery of the air inlet 9 along the circumferential direction of the air inlet 9. The second connecting water channel 19 is spaced apart from the third water channel 16, and the water inlet of the fourth water channel 18 is connected to the first water chamber 1 through the second connecting water channel 19. Specifically, the coolant enters the first water chamber 1 through the inlet 5. Then, under the action of the guide plate 13, part of the coolant flows into the second water chamber 12 through the first connecting water channel 15 and the intermediate water channel 17, and another part of the coolant flows into the second water chamber 12 through the third water channel 16 and the intermediate water channel 17, as well as through the second connecting water channel 19, the fourth water channel 18 and the intermediate water channel 17, to satisfy the cooling of the third water channel 16 and the fourth water channel 18. The coolant collected in the second water chamber 12 flows into the second water chamber 2 through the connecting hole 3, and finally flows out of the cylinder head through the outlet 7, so that the coolant water flow utilization efficiency is optimized.
[0049] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figures 1-6 There are multiple combustion chambers, evenly distributed along a first direction, and multiple second water channels 12 are all connected to the outlet 7 of the exhaust side 6. Specifically, the second water chambers 2 of the multiple combustion chambers are interconnected to form a single channel, collecting the coolant from each cylinder and flowing towards the front end of the cylinder head. The second water chamber 2 of the cylinder head has longitudinal flow, serving as a cooling channel and a return water passage for the cylinder head. In addition to its cooling effect, the second water chamber 2 also collects the coolant from each cylinder, and the coolant flows out of the cylinder head through the outlet 7 at the front end of the second water chamber 2.
[0050] This embodiment also provides a method for cooling the engine cylinder head, such as... Figure 7 As shown, through the implementation of the above-described engine cylinder head cooling water chamber structure, the engine cylinder head cooling method includes:
