[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The engine in this embodiment has Figure 1-4 The engine hood shown. The engine hood includes a hood body 1 and a cover plate 2 mounted on the hood body 1. A cavity 3 (oil-gas separation cavity) for oil and gas circulation is formed between the hood body 1 and the cover plate 2. An air inlet 4 is provided at one end of the cavity 3. A baffle is provided in the cavity 3. The extension direction of the baffle is perpendicular to the length direction of the cavity 3. The edges of the baffle are all arranged in an arc shape.

[0026] Multiple rows of baffles are arranged in the cavity 3 along the flow direction of the oil and gas, and each row has multiple baffles. The baffles on two adjacent rows are arranged in a staggered manner to better divide the larger airflow into smaller airflows and increase the flow rate. The width of the baffle is smaller than the distance between the two baffles in each row. That is, when the two rows of baffles are projected together, there are overlapping parts between the baffles in the width direction, which effectively extends the flow path of the oil and gas airflow.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is provided with a first oil return channel 71 and a second oil return channel 72, both of which are provided on the side of the baffle away from the air inlet 4, and the first oil return channel 71 is arranged between the baffle and the second oil return channel 72. An oil-gas separation box (not shown) is arranged in the cavity 3 between the first oil return channel 71 and the second oil return channel 72. The cover body 1 and the cover plate 2 are provided with a mounting groove 8, and the oil-gas separation box is arranged in the mounting groove 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the cover body 1 has a first baffle 61 extending toward the cover plate 2, and the cover plate 2 has a second baffle 62 extending toward the cover body 1, and the positions of the first baffle 61 and the second baffle 62 correspond to each other. There is a gap between the first baffle 61 and the second baffle 62, and the gap is preferably located on different planes to further enhance the separation effect. In other embodiments, it may be preferred that the baffle extends from the inner wall of the cover body 1 toward the cover plate 2 and extends all the way to the surface of the cover plate 2 or a surface close to the cover plate 2, or it may be preferred that the baffle extends from the cover plate 2 toward the cover body 1 and extends all the way to the surface of the cover body 1 or a surface close to the cover body 1.

[0029] The first baffle 61 and the second baffle 62 both include a first baffle 51 and a second baffle 52 that are symmetrically arranged, and the angle between the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52 is 90-150°, preferably 120°, in a V-shaped arrangement. The V-shaped baffle divides the large airflow entering the cover plate 2 into small airflows, speeding up the airflow speed, so that larger oil droplets in the airflow are more easily blocked and adsorbed.

[0030] The opening formed between the first stopper 51 and the second stopper 52 faces the air inlet 4. That is, the distance between the first stopper 51 and the second stopper 52 gradually decreases from the side close to the air inlet 4 to the side away from the air inlet 4. The thickness of the baffle gradually decreases from the bottom to the top. That is, the surface of the baffle facing the air inlet 4 is inclined from bottom to top toward the side away from the air inlet 4. The airflow is lifted to the middle position in the length direction of the baffle, so that it can better contact the baffle.

[0031] Preferably, a protrusion 53 is provided on the side of the connection position between the first stop portion 51 and the second stop portion 52 close to the air inlet 4, and the surface of the protrusion 53 facing the air inlet 4 is inclined from bottom to top toward the side away from the air inlet 4, thereby increasing the contact area and lifting the airflow to the middle position in the length direction of the baffle for better contact with the baffle.

[0032] The working process of the engine cover structure in this embodiment is briefly described below:

[0033] The gas enters the oil-gas separation chamber from the air inlet 4, and is divided into smaller air flows through the V-shaped baffle. Due to the increased contact surface, more oil is adsorbed on the baffle and gathered together, and leaks out through the first reflux channel. The remaining gas enters the oil-gas separation box, and the oil separated by the oil-gas separation box flows back to the engine through the second reflux channel, and finally the exhaust gas is discharged through the PRV valve assembly.

[0034] According to knowledge of fluid mechanics, when gas flows from a larger cavity to a smaller cavity, its flow rate will increase due to the decrease in the cross-sectional area passing through the cavity opening, and the faster the mixed gas flows when it collides with the baffle, the easier it is for the oil droplets to be separated. In response to the low separation efficiency problem in the oil-gas separation chamber of the current engine cylinder head cover, this application improves the oil-gas separation blocking structure in the engine cover, and designs a V-shaped baffle and multiple groups of baffles to better divide the larger airflow into smaller airflows, increase the flow rate, and make it easier to adsorb the oil in the gas. The flow path of the oil-gas airflow is extended, allowing the gas to have more contact area with the V-shaped baffle, which is more conducive to adsorbing the oil in the gas, improving the efficiency of oil-gas separation, and improving the fuel efficiency of the engine. At the same time, the improvement can be carried out on the original channel space, will not affect the spatial layout of the engine cover, and the structure is more compact.

[0035] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
