[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present application is realized as follows:

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the support structure is configured as a support cross - beam, the support cross - beam protrudes from the first mounting surface along the first direction, and the timing cover is arranged on a side of the support cross - beam facing away from the second mounting surface in the second direction.

[0033] Engine block 100;
[0034] Cylinder main body 1; First mounting surface 101; Second mounting surface 102; Cylinder head mounting surface 1021; Oil pan mounting surface 1022; Support structure 11; First cross beam 111; First mounting hole 1111; Second cross beam 112; Second mounting hole 1121; First connecting portion 12;
[0035] Timing cover 2; Cylinder head 3; Oil pan 4. Detailed Description of the Embodiment
[0036] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0037] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0038] The engine block 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a block main body 1, and the block main body 1 is an installation carrier for components in the engine (such as the cylinder head 3, the timing cover 2, the oil pan 4, etc.), so as to install and fix components such as the cylinder head 3, the timing cover 2, and the oil pan 4.
[0039] Referring to Figure 1 , on one side of the block main body 1 in the first direction, there is a first mounting surface 101, and the first mounting surface 101 is used for mounting the timing cover 2. Moreover, on at least one side of the block main body 1 in the second direction, there is a second mounting surface 102, and the second mounting surface 102 is used for mounting the cylinder head 3 or the oil pan 4. Wherein, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicularly arranged.
[0040] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in the engine, the installation position of the timing cover 2 relative to the block main body 1 is on one side of the second mounting surface 102 in the second direction. When two second mounting surfaces 102 are respectively arranged on both sides of the block main body 1 in the second direction, the timing cover 2 is located between the two second mounting surfaces 102.
[0041] Furthermore, the block main body 1 is provided with a support structure 11, the second mounting surface 102 is formed on the surface of the support structure 11 facing away from the first mounting surface 101 in the second direction, and the support structure 11 spaces the timing cover 2 and the second mounting surface 102 in the second direction, so as to prevent a "T"-shaped joint area from being formed at the joint between the timing cover 2 and the block main body 1, reduce the installation and sealing difficulty at the timing cover 2, reduce the risk of oil leakage, and improve the reliability of the engine.
[0042] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the support structure 11 is used for installing and supporting the cylinder head 3 or the oil pan 4. Taking the installation of the cylinder head 3 by the support structure 11 as an example for description. The cylinder head 3 is arranged on the first side of the block main body 1 in the second direction, and the support structure 11 can space the second mounting surface 102 and the first mounting surface 101 in the second direction, so as to prevent a "T"-shaped joint area from being formed at the adjacent area where the cylinder head 3 and the timing cover 2 are adjacently arranged on the block main body 1.
[0043] That is to say, at the engine block 100, when the block main body 1 is connected and cooperated with the timing cover 2, only the first mounting surface 101 cooperates with the timing cover 2, which can effectively prevent interference between the assembly components (such as the cylinder head 3, the oil pan 4, etc.) at other positions of the engine block 100 and the timing cover 2. The support structure 11 spaces the timing cover 2 and other assembly components in the second direction to avoid the formation of a "T"-shaped joint area after the assembly components are assembled with the engine block 100, resulting in an increase in sealing difficulty.
[0044] It should be noted that, currently, the timing chamber structure of the engine is complex, and the timing cover 2 has various layout forms such as integral type and split type. In the related art, when the timing cover 2 is assembled with the engine cylinder block 100, a "T"-shaped joint area will be formed at the timing cover 2, which makes it difficult to seal the timing system of the engine and there is a risk of oil leakage.
[0045] In the present application, the cylinder body 1 is provided with a supporting structure 11, and the supporting structure 11 can space a second mounting surface 102 for mounting other assembly components (such as: cylinder head 3, oil pan 4, etc.) from the first mounting surface 101 in the second direction, so that after the timing cover 2 is installed and matched with the first mounting surface 101, a certain space can be reserved for the timing cover 2 and other assembly components in the second direction, thereby avoiding the formation of a "T"-shaped joint area at the timing cover 2, thereby reducing the sealing difficulty between the timing cover 2 and the cylinder body 1.
[0046] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the support structure 11 is constructed as a support beam, which is arranged to protrude from the first mounting surface 101 along a first direction, and the timing cover 2 is arranged on the side of the support beam away from the second mounting surface 102 in the second direction.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 The second mounting surface 102 is formed on a side surface of the support beam that is away from the first mounting surface 101 in the second direction, and the support beam is formed on a side of the cylinder body 1 where the first mounting surface 101 is formed, so that the first mounting surface 101 is separated from the second mounting surface 102 by the support beam.
[0048] The support beam is arranged to protrude from the first mounting surface 101 in the first direction, so that the timing cover 2 can be separated from the side of the support beam away from the second mounting surface 102 by the support beam. When the timing cover 2 is installed on the cylinder body 1, the timing cover 2 is arranged adjacent to the support beam in the second direction, thereby avoiding the formation of a "T"-shaped joint area at the timing cover 2.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 It can be understood that the support beam is arranged on the side of the cylinder body 1 where the first mounting surface 101 is formed, and the support beam is arranged adjacent to the first mounting surface 101. When the support beam is arranged to protrude from the first mounting surface 101 along the first direction, the cylinder body 1 forms an "L"-shaped structure at the support beam and the first mounting surface 101, and the structural strength at the edge of the cylinder body 1 can be improved by the support beam, and a mounting structure for the assembly components can be formed at the support beam, and the assembly components can be installed and fixed by the support beam.
[0050] Meanwhile, when the first mounting surface 101 and the second mounting surface 102 are separated in the second direction by the support cross beam, the arrangement of the timing cover 2 is not affected by the assembly components mounted at the second mounting surface 102. Thus, the setting position of the first mounting surface 101 on the cylinder block 1 in the first direction can be designed to facilitate setting the first mounting surface 101 at a position closer to the cylinder bore center of the cylinder block 1, thereby reducing the overall dimensions of the engine in the first direction and lowering the layout difficulty of the engine in the equipment where it is applied.
[0051] Combined Figure 1 with Figure 2 as shown, in a further embodiment of the present application, the support cross beam further includes a first cross beam 111. The first cross beam 111 is disposed on the cylinder block 1, and the first cross beam 111 is located on the first side of the first mounting surface 101 in the second direction. A cylinder head mounting surface 1021 is formed on the side of the first cross beam 111 facing away from the first mounting surface 101 in the second direction. The cylinder head mounting surface 1021 is used for mounting the cylinder head 3.
[0052] Referring Figure 3 to Figure 3 it, the "first direction" is Figure 3 the left - right direction, the "second direction" is
[0053] the up - down direction. The first cross beam 111 is disposed above the first mounting surface 101. The first mounting surface 101 is formed on the right side of the cylinder block 1, and the first cross beam 111 protrudes from the first mounting surface 101 to the right side of the cylinder block 1. The cylinder head mounting surface 1021 is formed on the upper surface of the first cross beam 111. Thus, when the timing cover 2 is mounted on the cylinder block 1, the upper edge of the timing cover 2 is at least spaced from the cylinder head mounting surface 1021 by the thickness dimension of the first cross beam 111 in the second direction. Thereby, the timing cover 2 and the cylinder head 3 are separated in the second direction by the first cross beam 111, avoiding the formation of a "T" - shaped joint area and reducing the sealing difficulty between the timing cover 2 and the first mounting surface 101, and between the cylinder head 3 and the cylinder head mounting surface 1021. Figure 2 As
[0054] shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first cross beam 111 is provided with a first mounting hole 1111. The first mounting hole 1111 extends through the first cross beam 111 in the second direction. Among them, the first mounting hole 1111 can be penetrated by a first connecting member (not shown) to connect and fix the cylinder block 1 and the cylinder head 3 through the first connecting member.
[0054] Further, the first connecting member can be configured as a threaded connecting member (such as a bolt, etc.), so as to connect and fix the cylinder body 1 to the cylinder head 3 by means of threaded engagement with the first connecting member. It is understandable that a threaded hole threadedly engaged with the first connecting member can be formed on the cylinder head 3, and a nut threadedly engaged with the first connecting member can also be provided. The installation and engagement method of the cylinder head 3 and the cylinder body 1 is not limited thereto, and can also be designed according to the assembly requirements of the cylinder head 3.
[0055] It should be noted that, since the first cross beam 111 protrudes from the first mounting surface 101 in the first direction, a position for forming a mounting structure (i.e., the first mounting hole 1111 mentioned above) can be reserved on the first cross beam 111, which can improve the connection and matching effect between the cylinder head 3 and the first cross beam 111, and help improve the sealing effect between the cylinder head 3 and the first cross beam 111.
[0056] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the supporting beam also includes a second beam 112, which is arranged on the cylinder body 1 and is located on the second side of the first mounting surface 101 in the second direction. The second beam 112 forms an oil pan mounting surface 1022 on the side of the second direction away from the first mounting surface 101, and the oil pan mounting surface 1022 is used to install the oil pan 4.
[0057] Reference Figure 3 , and the “first direction” is Figure 3 The left and right directions of the “second direction” are Figure 3 In the up-down direction, the second cross beam 112 is arranged at the lower side of the first mounting surface 101, the first mounting surface 101 is formed on the right side of the cylinder body 1, and the second cross beam 112 is arranged to protrude from the first mounting surface 101 to the right side of the cylinder body 1, and the oil pan mounting surface 1022 is formed on the lower surface of the second cross beam 112. Therefore, when the timing cover 2 is installed on the cylinder body 1, the lower edge of the timing cover 2 and the oil pan mounting surface 1022 are at least separated by the thickness dimension of the second cross beam 112 in the second direction, so that the timing cover 2 and the oil pan 4 are separated in the second direction by the second cross beam 112, avoiding the formation of a "T"-shaped joint area, and reducing the sealing difficulty between the timing cover 2 and the first mounting surface 101, and between the oil pan 4 and the oil pan mounting surface 1022.
[0058] Wherein, the first side and the second side in the second direction are opposite to each other. That is to say, on both sides of the first mounting surface 101 of the cylinder block 1 in the second direction, two support crossbeams are respectively arranged, so as to separate the timing cover 2 from the cylinder head 3 and the oil pan 4 through the two support crossbeams (i.e., the first crossbeam 111 and the second crossbeam 112), so as to avoid forming a "T"-shaped joint area in the critical areas between the timing cover 2 and the cylinder head 3 and between the timing cover 2 and the oil pan 4, thereby reducing the sealing difficulty at the joint between the timing cover 2 and the cylinder block 1.
[0059] In a further embodiment of the present application, the second crossbeam 112 is provided with a second mounting hole 1121, and the second mounting hole 1121 penetrates through the second crossbeam 112 along the second direction. Wherein, the second mounting hole 1121 can be penetrated by a second connecting member (not shown), so as to connect and fix the cylinder block 1 and the oil pan 4 through the second connecting member.
[0060] Wherein, the second connecting member can be configured as a threaded connecting member (such as: bolt, etc.), so as to connect and fix the cylinder block 1 and the oil pan 4 by means of threaded cooperation of the second connecting member. It can be understood that a threaded hole for threaded cooperation with the second connecting member can be formed on the oil pan 4, and a nut can also be provided for threaded cooperation with the second connecting member. The installation and cooperation manner between the oil pan 4 and the cylinder block 1 is not limited thereto, and can also be designed according to the assembly requirements of the oil pan 4.
[0061] It should be noted that since the second crossbeam 112 protrudes from the first mounting surface 101 in the first direction, a position for forming an installation structure (i.e., the above-mentioned second mounting hole 1121) can be reserved at the second crossbeam 112, which can improve the connection and cooperation effect between the oil pan 4 and the second crossbeam 112, and contribute to improving the sealing effect between the oil pan 4 and the second crossbeam 112.
[0062] It should be further noted that the second mounting surface 102 includes the above-mentioned cylinder head mounting surface 1021 and oil pan mounting surface 1022. The number of the above-mentioned first mounting holes 1111 and second mounting holes 1121 and their layout positions on the second mounting surface 102 are not limited herein, and can be designed according to the installation requirements of the assembled components (such as the above-mentioned cylinder head 3 and oil pan 4).
[0063] Combined Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, in the projection in the second direction, at least the projection of the first crossbeam 111 coincides with at least part of the projection of the second crossbeam 112.
[0064] It can be understood that both the first cross beam 111 and the second cross beam 112 protrude from the adjacent first mounting surface 101 in the first direction. When the timing cover 2 is mounted on the cylinder block 1, the timing cover 2 is arranged between the first cross beam 111 and the second cross beam 112 in the second direction, so that the first cross beam 111 and the second cross beam 112 can fully separate the timing cover 2, and two "L" - shaped structures are respectively formed in the two side regions of the first mounting surface 101 in the second direction, which helps to set the position of the first mounting surface 101 at a position with a smaller distance from the center of the cylinder bore, so as to shorten the length dimension of the engine in the first direction.
[0065] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first mounting surface 101 is configured as a plane, and the first mounting surface 101 is formed with a plurality of first connecting portions 12 arranged in an annular shape, and the first connecting portions 12 are used to connect with the timing cover 2.
[0066] It can be understood that the shape of the plane is simple, which makes the processing difficulty and assembly difficulty of the first mounting surface 101 low, facilitating the installation and cooperation of the timing cover 2 with the first mounting surface 101, and can reduce the sealing difficulty at the timing cover 2 and the first mounting surface 101. Among them, the first connecting portion 12 can be configured as a hole structure.
[0067] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the first cross beam 111 and the second cross beam 112 in the second direction is greater than the dimension of the timing cover plate in the second direction. Thus, when the timing cover 2 is mounted on the cylinder block 1, the two side edges of the timing cover 2 in the second direction can be respectively spaced from the first cross beam 111 and the second cross beam 112, so as to leave a certain gap between the timing cover 2 and the first cross beam 111 and between the timing cover 2 and the second cross beam 112, facilitating the assembly of the timing cover 2.
[0068] For the engine according to the embodiment of the present application, the engine includes the above - mentioned engine block 100. By setting the above - mentioned engine block 100, the sealing difficulty of the engine at the timing system can be reduced, and the overall dimension of the engine in the first direction can be adaptively reduced, facilitating the arrangement of the engine in its application device (such as a vehicle). Among them, the advantages of the engine and the above - mentioned engine block 100 compared with the prior art are the same, and will not be elaborated here.
[0069] For the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle includes the above - mentioned engine. The advantages of the vehicle and the above - mentioned engine compared with the prior art are the same, and will not be elaborated here.
