[0039] The utility model discloses a cylinder cover, improves production efficiency, reduces production cost through reasonable distribution machining and casting area, can effectively avoid the generation of sharp angle to reduce stress concentration, reduces hot spot. In addition, the utility model discloses an engine and vehicle with the above-mentioned cylinder cover.

[0040] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0041] Hereinafter, the terms "first", "second" are only used for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0042] The cylinder cover is installed on the upper surface of the cylinder body, seals the cylinder from the upper part and constitutes a combustion chamber. It often contacts high-temperature and high-pressure gas, so it bears great thermal load and mechanical load.

[0043] The cylinder cover is also provided with an intake valve seat, an exhaust valve seat and a valve guide hole for installing an intake valve and an exhaust valve, and an intake passage and an exhaust passage.

[0044] In order to optimize the combustion efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions, some cylinder heads can improve the combustion efficiency of fuel through specific air duct structure and combustion chamber shape, thereby reducing the generation and emission of exhaust gas. Among them, the cross section of the shed roof structure of the shed roof cylinder head is triangular, that is, the top surface of the cylinder head is inclined. This design makes the intake pipe and exhaust pipe arranged at different positions of the cylinder head, forming vortex and tumble flow, so as to form more uniform mixture in the combustion chamber, thereby improving the combustion efficiency. In addition, the inclined design of the top of the cylinder head helps to better seal the cylinder and reduce gas leakage, further improving the combustion efficiency.

[0045] However, due to the irregularity of the shed roof of the shed roof cylinder head, the processing efficiency is low, resulting in low production efficiency of the cylinder head and high production cost.

[0046] Based on the above technical problems, as shown in Figure 1 The engine disclosed by the present application comprises a cylinder head 100 and a valve 200. The cylinder head 100 comprises a cylinder head body 101 having a valve passage 102.

[0047] Among them, one side of the cylinder head 100 is used to cooperate with the piston to form a combustion chamber, and the other side is the outer surface of the cylinder. The valve 200 comprises an intake valve (not shown in the figure) and an exhaust valve (not shown in the figure). In some embodiments, two intake valves and two exhaust valves correspond to one combustion chamber.

[0048] The cylinder head 100 has a valve passage 102 for mounting the valve 200. Specifically, the valve passage 102 comprises an intake valve passage (not shown in the figure) and an exhaust valve passage (not shown in the figure). Since the structure of the intake valve passage and the exhaust valve passage is the same, they are not distinguished in the figure. Among them, the intake valve is installed in the intake valve passage, and the exhaust valve is installed in the exhaust valve passage.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2 The side of the cylinder head body 101 for forming the combustion chamber is a shed roof surface (the position for forming the combustion chamber). It should be noted that the cross section of the shed roof structure of the shed roof cylinder head in the present application is triangular, that is, the inner surface of the cylinder head is inclined on both sides. The intake valve passage and the exhaust valve passage are arranged on the inclined surfaces on both sides, so that the intake valve passage and the exhaust valve passage are arranged inclinedly relative to the plane where the cylinder head is located, and then the intake valve and the exhaust valve are arranged inclinedly relative to the plane where the intake valve cylinder head is located.

[0050] Both the intake valve passage and the exhaust valve passage are located in the profile of the shed roof surface, that is, both the intake valve passage and the exhaust valve passage are located in the profile of the cylinder head body 101 forming the combustion chamber. In some embodiments, the valve passage 102 has a valve seat hole 103 near one side of the combustion chamber. The valve seat hole 103 includes an intake valve seat hole and an exhaust valve seat hole, as the structure of the intake valve seat hole and the exhaust valve seat hole is the same, they are not distinguished in the drawings. Among them, the intake valve seat hole is matched with the intake valve, and the exhaust valve seat hole is matched with the exhaust valve.

[0051] It should be noted that the part of the cylinder head that fits with the valve cone surface is called the valve seat, and the temperature of the valve seat is very high, and it also bears a high-frequency impact load, which is easy to wear. Therefore, the aluminum cylinder head and most cast iron cylinder heads are inlaid with valve seat rings made of alloy cast iron or powder metallurgy or austenitic steel. Inlaying the valve seat ring on the cylinder head can prolong the service life of the cylinder head. Some cast iron cylinder heads do not inlay the valve seat ring, but directly process the valve seat on the cylinder head.

[0052] The cylinder head body 101 disclosed in the present application is cast into shape, specifically, a cylinder head body 101 with a valve passage 102 and a valve seat hole 103 is processed by casting process, and during the casting process, the exhaust valve seat hole and the intake valve seat hole are located in the profile of the shed roof surface of the cylinder head body 101.

[0053] As shown in Figs. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cylinder head 100 also includes a guide surface 104, and the edge of the exhaust valve seat hole and the edge of the intake valve seat hole of the shed roof surface of the cylinder head body 101 are connected through the guide surface 104, and the guide surface 104 is a machined inclined surface.

[0054] It should be noted that the guide surface 104 is an effective measure to cancel the sharp corner and reduce the hot spot and stress concentration, and is a core component of the cylinder head. In some embodiments, the guide surface 104 can be cast together with the combustion chamber, but the casting precision is poor, and a width of ±1mm is needed, because the design boundary is fixed, poor precision will compress the design space of the valve seat hole, resulting in a smaller valve seat hole and a poorer intake and exhaust capacity of the engine.

[0055] In the present application, the guide surface 104 is machined, the machining precision is high, and the precision can be about ±0.1mm, and through machining, the tolerance space can be given to the valve seat hole, so that the valve seat hole can be designed to be larger, thereby improving the intake and exhaust capacity, and the thermal efficiency of the engine will also be improved.

[0056] Combining the above analysis, the cylinder head 100 in the application processes the cylinder head body 101, the valve passage 102 and the combustion chamber by casting process, and processes the guide surface 104 and the valve seat circle hole 103 by machining, so as to improve the processing efficiency, reduce the production cost, and improve the machining precision of the guide surface 104, effectively increase the size of the intake and exhaust valve seat circle hole, and ensure the intake and exhaust capacity of the engine.

[0057] In addition, by machining the guide surface 104 at the edge of the shed top surface of the cylinder head body 101, the generation of sharp corners can be effectively avoided, so as to avoid the stress concentration problem of sharp corners, reduce the generation of hot spots, and avoid the phenomenon of knocking and early combustion.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 the shed top profile of the cylinder head body 101 is inwardly recessed towards the center of the cylinder head body 101 between adjacent intake valve passages and between adjacent exhaust valve passages, and the shed top profile of the cylinder head body 101 between adjacent intake valve passages and between adjacent exhaust valve passages is formed by casting. Figure 5 For example, the lower two passages are intake passages, and the upper two passages are exhaust passages:

[0059] Among them, the shed top profile of the cylinder head body 101 is a third segment 1013 between the two intake passages, and a fifth segment 1015 between the two exhaust valve passages, and the third segment 1013 and the fifth segment 1015 are both inwardly recessed.

[0060] Since the shed top profile of the cylinder head body 101 has low precision requirements, the casting process can reduce production costs and improve processing efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments, the shed top profile of the cylinder head body 101 is outwardly convex between adjacent intake valve passages and exhaust valve passages; and the shed top profile of the cylinder head body 101 between adjacent intake valve passages and exhaust valve passages is formed by casting.

[0062] Figure 5 The left profile and the right profile of the shed top are both profiles between adjacent intake valve passages and exhaust valve passages, wherein the left profile is a first segment 1011, which is outwardly convex to the cylinder head body 101, and the right profile can be seen with reference to the first segment 1011.

[0063] In some embodiments, the profile of the cylinder head body 101 forming the combustion chamber is an arc-shaped edge on the outside of the intake valve passage and on the outside of the exhaust valve passage, that is, Figure 5 the second segment 1012 and the fourth segment 1014 are both arc-shaped edges, which can be understood as Figure 5The four top corner positions are arc-shaped edges. Among them, the arc-shaped edge outside the exhaust valve seat circle hole and the arc-shaped edge outside the intake valve seat circle hole are connected through the guide surface 104. It can be understood that the guide surface 104 is a chamfer from the valve seat circle hole to the arc-shaped edge.

[0064] As Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the first section 1011 of the shed roof-shaped profile of the cylinder head body 101 can also be a concave shape profile recessed towards the center of the cylinder head body 101. The shape of the shed roof-shaped profile of the cylinder head body 101 can be set according to different needs, as long as the valve seat circle hole machining is completely within the shed roof profile.

[0065] The shed roof-shaped profile of the cylinder head body 101 in this application is processed by casting and machining, which can reduce the processing cost while ensuring the processing precision. In some embodiments, the machining method includes but is not limited to CNC (numerical control machine tool).

[0066] Due to the poor precision of casting, if the cylinder head 100 adopts a full-casting method, the space required by the boundary of the shed roof profile is relatively large. In the case of consistent boundary, in order to ensure sufficient casting deviation, the diameter of the valve seat circle hole will be reduced. The combination of casting and machining can effectively overcome the above problems.

[0067] Combining Figures 3 to 5 It can be seen that the guide surface 104 in this application is an arc-shaped surface extending along the circumference of the valve seat circle hole, and the extension length of the guide surface 104 is the same as the length of the arc-shaped edge along the circumference. By setting the guide surface 104 between the arc-shaped surface and the valve seat circle, the sharp angle between the valve seat circle hole and the shed roof-shaped profile when the valve is arranged obliquely can be reduced, thereby reducing stress concentration and reducing the generation of hot spots, while being able to maintain a relatively large seat circle structure and improve the intake and exhaust flow capacity.

[0068] In some embodiments, the inclination angle of the guide surface 104 from the valve seat circle hole to the corresponding arc-shaped surface is 30°-60°. The inclination angle of the guide surface 104 can be set according to different needs and is within the protection scope.

[0069] As Figure 5 shown, the diameter of the intake valve passage in this application is greater than the diameter of the exhaust valve passage, so as to improve the intake amount, ensure that the engine can work efficiently, and meet the pursuit of speed and performance by the driver.

[0070] Figure 6One shape of the valve seat circle hole 103 is shown in the middle, it needs to be pointed out that the valve seat circle hole 103 can be set according to different needs, including but not limited to setting chamfer at the end of the valve seat circle hole 103 close to the valve passage 102 to further reduce the generation of sharp corners.

[0071] The shape of the valve seat circle hole 103 and the size of the chamfer are not specifically limited, and the valve seat circle hole 103 is cast in this application, and the roof-shaped profile is machined.
