[0032] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 The engine assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model is described. By arranging a starter cover plate 2 on the engine cylinder block 1, the starter mounting hole 11 can be blocked to prevent foreign matter from entering through the starter mounting hole 11 and causing wear of the transmission parts. The development of the engine cylinder block 1 without the starter mounting hole 11 can be reduced, the mold development cost is reduced, and the development cycle is shortened. In addition, the starter cover plate 2 is detachably connected to the engine cylinder block 1, which is convenient for installing the engine cylinder block 1 on a fuel vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, thereby increasing the scope of application of the engine cylinder block 1.

[0033] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, an engine assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an engine cylinder block 1 and a starter cover plate 2 .

[0034] The engine block 1 is formed with a starter mounting hole 11; the starter cover plate 2 includes a main board body 21 and a clamping baffle 22, the clamping baffle 22 is connected to the main board body 21 and defines a clamping groove 23, the main board body 21 is provided with a connecting portion 211, the starter cover plate 2 is suitable for being clamped at the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 through the clamping groove 23, and the connecting portion 211 is used to be detachably connected to the engine block 1 through a connecting piece.

[0035] Specifically, both fuel vehicles and hybrid vehicles are provided with engines, which are used to convert chemical energy generated by fuel combustion into mechanical energy to provide power for the vehicle. An engine block 1 is provided in the engine. The engine block 1 is a main structural component in the engine and is used to provide a support and fixing basis for other components in the engine, such as Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in a fuel vehicle, a starter 101 needs to be provided to start the engine, and a starter mounting hole 11 can be provided on the engine cylinder block 1 to achieve the installation of the starter 101. In a hybrid vehicle, the engine can be directly started by a motor, that is, there is no need to provide the starter 101 in the hybrid vehicle. However, when the starter 101 is not provided, the starter mounting hole 11 is in an open state, and foreign matter can enter the transmission connection position of the reducer from the starter mounting hole 11, which can easily cause wear of the transmission parts. A starter cover plate 2 can be provided in the engine assembly 100, and the starter mounting hole 11 can be blocked by the starter cover plate 2 to prevent foreign matter from entering.

[0036] It should be noted that, in actual design, if the method of not setting the starter cover 2 is adopted, it is necessary to redevelop an engine cylinder block 1 that does not contain the starter mounting hole 11, and the mold development cost is high and the development cycle is long. In other words, by setting the engine cover, the mold development cost can be reduced and the development cycle can be shortened.

[0037] Furthermore, the starter cover plate 2 includes a main body 21 and a clamping baffle 22. The main body 21 is used to block the starter mounting hole 11. The clamping baffle 22 is used to install the starter cover plate 2. The clamping baffle 22 is connected to the main body 21 and defines a clamping groove 23. The clamping baffle 22 and the main body 21 can be connected in a close fit to increase the contact area between the two and improve the connection strength between the two. The clamping baffle 22 and the main body 21 can be connected by welding to further improve the connection strength and connection reliability between the two. Moreover, as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, at least a portion of the clamping baffle 22 can be constructed to extend in a direction away from the main board body 21, so that the clamping baffle 22 can jointly define a clamping groove 23 with the main board body 21, and the clamping groove 23 can be snap-fitted to the edge of the starter mounting hole 11, that is, when the starter cover 2 is installed, the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 can be extended into the clamping groove 23, so that the clamping groove 23 and the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 can be snap-fitted to achieve the connection between the starter cover 2 and the engine cylinder block 1.

[0038] At the same time, a connecting portion 211 is provided on the main body 21, and the connecting portion 211 is used to realize the connection between the starter cover 2 and the engine cylinder block 1, so as to further realize the fixation of the starter cover 2 and ensure the reliability of the operation of the starter cover 2, and the connecting portion 211 can be constructed as a connecting hole, and the connecting hole is used to pass a connecting piece, that is, the starter cover 2 can be connected to the engine cylinder block 1 through the connecting piece.

[0039] Among them, it should be noted that the clamping baffle 22 can be connected to the side of the main body 21 facing the inside of the starter mounting hole 11, so that when the starter cover 2 is installed on the engine cylinder block 1, the clamping baffle 22 can extend into the starter mounting hole 11, and the clamping baffle 22 can be hidden to avoid interference between the clamping baffle 22 and other components on the vehicle, which is not conducive to the setting of the starter cover 2, and the clamping groove 23 and the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 can be interference fit, and the interference amount can be 0.5mm-2.5mm to achieve a close fit between the starter cover 2 and the engine cylinder block 1 to avoid separation of the starter cover 2 and the engine cylinder block 1, and a chamfered structure can also be set at the end of the clamping baffle 22 to guide the clamping baffle 22, so that the clamping baffle 22 can smoothly enter the interior of the engine cylinder block 1 and snap fit with the edge of the starter mounting hole 11.

[0040] In addition, the connecting portion 211 can be connected to the engine block 1 through a connecting piece, that is, the starter cover plate 2 can be connected to the engine block 1 through the connecting piece to achieve the fixation of the starter cover plate 2, and the connection method through the connecting piece is simple, reliable and easy to operate. Moreover, the starter cover plate 2 and the engine block 1 are detachably connected, that is, the starter cover plate 2 and the engine block 1 can be easily connected, or the two can be separated, so that when the engine block 1 or the starter cover plate 2 is damaged, the failed parts can be replaced, which can reduce the subsequent maintenance cost, and it is also convenient to reinstall the engine block 1 on the fuel vehicle, that is, by installing or removing the starter cover plate 2, the engine block 1 can be installed on a hybrid vehicle or a fuel vehicle, which increases the application range of the engine block 1, wherein the connecting piece can be a bolt.

[0041] Furthermore, when installing the starter cover 2, the clamping baffle 22 can be extended into the interior of the engine cylinder block 1 so that the clamping groove 23 can be engaged with the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 until the clamping groove 23 clamps the edge of the starter mounting hole 11, and then the starter cover 2 is connected to the engine cylinder block 1 through a connecting piece, so that the starter cover 2 can be installed on the engine cylinder block 1, so that the starter cover 2 can block the starter mounting hole 11.

[0042] Therefore, by setting the starter cover plate 2 on the engine block 1 and making the starter cover plate 2 and the engine block 1 detachably connected, the engine block 1 can be set on a fuel vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, thereby increasing the application range of the engine block 1. Moreover, when the engine block 1 is set on a hybrid vehicle, the starter mounting hole 11 can be blocked by the starter cover plate 2 to prevent foreign matter from entering through the starter mounting hole 11 and causing wear of the transmission parts.

[0043] According to the engine assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the starter cover plate 2 is arranged on the engine cylinder block 1 to block the starter mounting hole 11, so as to prevent foreign matter from entering through the starter mounting hole 11 and causing wear of the transmission parts. In addition, the development of the engine cylinder block 1 without the starter mounting hole 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the mold development cost and shortening the development cycle. In addition, the starter cover plate 2 is detachably connected to the engine cylinder block 1, so that the engine cylinder block 1 can be easily installed on a fuel vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, thereby increasing the application range of the engine cylinder block 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, the main body 21 has a first side 212 and a second side 213 that are opposite to each other along a first direction, the connecting portion 211 is provided at the first side 212 , the clamping baffle 22 is connected to the second side 213 and the clamping groove 23 is open in a direction away from the connecting portion 211 .

[0045] Specifically, Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, the connection portion 211 is arranged at the first side edge 212, the clamping baffle 22 is connected to the second side edge 213, and the first side edge 212 and the second side edge 213 are separated from each other along the first direction, that is, the connection portion 211 and the clamping baffle 22 are arranged spaced apart along the first direction, so that when the starter cover plate 2 is connected to the engine cylinder block 1 at the first side edge 212, the engine cover plate can be clamped with the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 at the second side edge 213 through the clamping groove 23, so that the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1 can be connected at two positions spaced apart and distributed along the first direction, which can improve the connection reliability and connection stability between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1, and can avoid the starter cover plate 2 from tilting at the second side edge 213 when the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1 are connected at the first side edge 212, resulting in a reduction in the effect of blocking the starter mounting hole 11. The first direction can be Figure 3-Figure 6 The left-right direction of the direction shown in .

[0046] Furthermore, the clamping groove 23 is constructed to be open in a direction away from the connecting portion 211, that is, the clamping groove 23 is open in a direction away from the starter cover plate 2, that is, the clamping groove 23 is open toward the edge of the starter mounting hole 11, so that the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 can extend into the clamping groove 23 and be snap-fitted with the clamping groove 23, that is, the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1 are connected at the second side edge 213.

[0047] In some embodiments, there are multiple connection portions 211 , and the multiple connection portions 211 are distributed on the first side 212 at intervals along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0048] Specifically, the connecting portion 211 is used to realize the connection between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1. The connecting portion 211 can be set to be multiple, that is, the number of the connecting portions 211 can be two, three or more, so that the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1 can be connected at multiple connecting portions 211 through connecting members, which can improve the connection reliability between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1, and the multiple connecting portions 211 are spaced apart and distributed at the first side edge 212 along the second direction, so that the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1 can be connected at multiple positions on the first side edge 212, which can improve the connection stability between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1, wherein the second direction can be Figure 3-Figure 6 The up and down directions of the directions shown in , that is, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0049] Furthermore, the starter cover plate 2 and the engine block 1 can be connected at a first side edge 212 at a plurality of connection portions 211 spaced apart and distributed along the up-down direction, and at a second side edge 213 opposite to the first side edge 212 along the first direction, the starter cover plate 2 and the engine block 1 can be connected by snapping together between the clamping groove 23 and the edge of the starter mounting hole 11, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine block 1, and thereby improving the reliability of sealing the starter mounting hole 11 by the starter cover plate 2.

[0050] In some embodiments, the main body 21 is further provided with a gripping handle 214 at the first side 212 , and the gripping handle 214 is extended in a direction away from the engine cylinder block 1 .

[0051] Specifically, a gripping handle 214 is provided on the main body 21, and the gripping handle 214 can provide a position for the user to grip, so that the user can move or operate the starter cover 2, and the gripping handle 214 is extended in a direction away from the engine cylinder body 1, that is, the gripping handle 214 is extended toward the outside of the engine cylinder body 1, and the setting length of the gripping handle 214 can be increased, so that the user can operate the starter cover 2 through the gripping handle 214, and the gripping handle 214 is set at the first side edge 212, so that the user can push the starter cover 2 by operating the gripping handle 214, so that the clamping groove 23 at the second side edge 213 moves toward the edge of the starter mounting hole 11, so as to approach the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 and engage with the edge of the starter mounting hole 11.

[0052] Therefore, when installing the starter cover 2, the user can hold the holding handle 214 to fit the starter cover 2 with the engine cylinder block 1, push the holding handle 214 along the first direction to make the clamping groove 23 engage with the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 until the edge of the starter mounting hole 11 is clamped, and then manually rotate the holding handle 214 to align the connecting portion 211 with the starter mounting through hole 104 on the engine cylinder block 1, so as to facilitate the insertion of the connecting part 211 and the starter mounting through hole 104 to fix the starter cover 2.

[0053] In some embodiments, there are two connecting portions 211 , and the two connecting portions 211 are spaced apart and distributed on the first side 212 along the second direction, and the gripping handle 214 is located between the two connecting portions 211 .

[0054] Specifically, the connecting portion 211 is used to realize the connection between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1. The connecting portion 211 can be set to two, so that the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1 can be connected at the two connecting portions 211 through the connecting parts, which can improve the connection reliability between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1, and the two connecting portions 211 are spaced apart and distributed on the first side edge 212 along the second direction, so that the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1 can be connected at two positions on the first side edge 212, which can improve the connection stability between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1. At the same time, the holding handle portion 214 is set between the two connecting portions 211, that is, the holding handle portion 214 can be set in the middle of the first side edge 212, so that the holding handle portion 214 is balanced in force at both ends along the second direction, so as to avoid the starter cover plate 2 from tilting when the starter cover plate 2 is operated by the holding handle portion 214, which is not conducive to the clamping connection between the clamping groove 23 and the edge of the starter mounting hole 11.

[0055] It should be noted that the two connecting portions 211 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the clamping groove 23 and the connecting portion 211 are spaced apart along the first direction, so that the two connecting portions 211 and the clamping groove 23 are distributed in a triangular shape, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the starter cover plate 2 and the engine cylinder block 1, and further improving the reliability of sealing the starter mounting hole 11 through the starter cover plate 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, the main body 21 is further provided with an avoidance hole 215 spaced apart from the clamping baffle 22 at the second side edge 213 , and the avoidance hole 215 is used to avoid the transmission bolt 103 .

[0057] Specifically, a transmission bolt 103 is provided on the engine block 1, and the transmission bolt 103 is used to connect the transmission 102 with the engine block 1. At the same time, an avoidance hole 215 is provided at the second side 213 on the main board body 21, and the avoidance hole 215 is used to avoid the setting position of the transmission bolt 103. That is, by setting the avoidance hole 215, the main board body 21 and the transmission bolt 103 are prevented from interfering with each other, resulting in the inability to install the starter cover 2, and the avoidance hole 215 is spaced apart from the clamping baffle 22, so that the clamping baffle 22 and the transmission bolt 103 are spaced apart, so as to avoid the transmission bolt 103 and the clamping baffle 22 from interfering with each other, resulting in the inability to achieve the connection between the starter cover 2 and the engine block 1 through the clamping groove 23.

[0058] Also, it should be noted that due to the structural layout of the engine, when the starter cover 2 is installed, it is impossible to fix the bolts on the engine side, that is, it is impossible to connect the starter cover 2 to the engine block 1 at the second side 213 by bolts. An avoidance hole 215 and a clamping baffle 22 can be set at intervals on the second side 213. The transmission bolt 103 can be avoided through the avoidance hole 215, and the connection between the second side 213 and the engine block 1 can be achieved through the clamping baffle 22. Therefore, the starter cover 2 can be connected to the engine block 1 at the second side 213 while avoiding interference with the transmission bolt 103.

[0059] In some embodiments, the main board body 21 is also provided with reinforcing ribs 216, which are used to improve the structural strength of the main board body 21, reduce the possibility of deformation and failure of the main board body 21 under the impact of foreign objects, and improve the reliability of the starter cover 2 in sealing the starter mounting hole 11. That is, by providing the reinforcing ribs 216, the service life of the main board body 21 can also be extended, and the service life of the starter cover 2 can also be extended.

[0060] In some embodiments, the reinforcing rib 216 includes a first reinforcing rib 2161 , the first reinforcing rib 2161 is extended along the first direction, and the first reinforcing rib 2161 and the clamping baffle 22 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction.

[0061] Specifically, the reinforcement rib 216 is provided on the main body 21 to improve the structural strength of the main body 21. The reinforcement rib 216 includes a first reinforcement rib 2161, that is, the structural strength of the main body 21 is improved by the first reinforcement rib 2161, and the first reinforcement rib 2161 is extended along the first direction, that is, the first reinforcement rib 2161 is extended to the first side edge 212 and the second side edge 213 at the same time, so that the first side edge 212 and the second side edge 213 are connected by the first reinforcement rib 2161, and the first side edge 212 and the second side edge 213 are connected. Support is provided to improve the structural strength at the first side 212 and the second side 213, and the setting length of the first reinforcing rib 2161 can be increased, thereby improving the reliability of enhancing the structural strength of the main body 21 by the first reinforcing rib 2161, and the first reinforcing rib 2161 and the clamping baffle 22 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction, so that the first reinforcing rib 2161 and the clamping baffle 22 can be spaced apart and arranged to avoid interference between the two, resulting in the inability to set the clamping baffle 22, and further resulting in the inability to install the starter cover 2.

[0062] In some embodiments, the reinforcing rib 216 further includes an arc-shaped reinforcing rib 2162 . There are two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 , and the two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first reinforcing rib 2161 .

[0063] Specifically, the structural strength of the main body 21 can be further improved by the arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162, and the arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 are constructed in an arc shape to avoid the setting position of the connection part 211 and the avoidance hole 215, thereby avoiding interference between the arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 and the connection part 211 or the avoidance hole 215, resulting in the inability to connect the starter cover plate 2 to the engine cylinder block 1. In addition, two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 are provided on the main body 21, and the structural strength of the main body 21 can be improved by the two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 and the first reinforcing rib 2161, and the two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first reinforcing rib 2161, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 can be distributed on both sides of the first reinforcing rib 2161 along the second direction, so that the structural strength of both sides of the first reinforcing rib 2161 on the main board 21 can be improved respectively by the two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162, thereby reducing local stress concentration. The two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 2162 and the first reinforcing rib 2161 can be distributed spaced apart along the second direction to improve the structural strength of the main board 21 from multiple positions at the same time, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of deformation and failure of the starter cover 2 due to the impact of foreign objects.

[0064] Also, it should be noted that the contour of the starter cover 2 can be constructed to adapt to the shape of the engine block 1, and the gap between the edge of the starter cover 2 and the engine block 1 can be 1.5mm-2mm, so as to limit the starter cover 2 when installing the starter cover 2, ensure the accuracy of the installation position of the starter cover 2, and also increase the installation area of ​​the starter cover 2 to improve the reliability of sealing the starter mounting hole 11.
