However, when producing small displacement engines, the engine bore is reduced, and the design space is greatly limited. The diameter of the combustion chamber end face of the cylinder head and the size of the valve seat have to be reduced. The reduction of the size will lead to insufficient intake and exhaust flow area, and further increase the intake and exhaust resistance, thereby reducing the combustion efficiency of the engine. In addition, the reduction of the size of the valve seat will also limit the air flow speed, affect the formation of the mixture and the combustion quality, and ultimately lead to the decrease of the power output of the engine, the deterioration of the fuel economy and the deterioration of the emission performance. Therefore, in the design of small displacement engines, how to optimize the arrangement of the valve seat in the limited space to reduce the intake and exhaust resistance and improve the performance of the engine has become an important technical challenge.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model is further described below in combination with specific drawings.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a cylinder head, including cylinder head body 100, be located in the combustion chamber 111 of cylinder head body 100, be located on the intake valve seat 200 and exhaust valve seat 300 of combustion chamber 111, the intake port 210 that passes through intake valve seat 200 and is communicated with combustion chamber 111 and the exhaust port 310 that passes through exhaust valve seat 300 and is communicated with combustion chamber 111, the outside portion of intake valve seat 200 and / or exhaust valve seat 300 is protruding to the outside of combustion chamber 111. Intake valve seat 200 and / or exhaust valve seat 300 protrude to the outside of combustion chamber 111, can effectively increase the flow area of admission and exhaust in limited space, thereby reduce the admission and exhaust resistance, improve combustion efficiency. Optimize the valve seat arrangement, improve the airflow passage, be favorable to the promotion airflow velocity, promote mixed gas to form better, improve the combustion quality. Because admission and exhaust resistance reduce, combustion quality improves, can effectively solve the problem such as the power output drop, fuel economy becomes poor and emission performance deterioration caused by the size reduction of small displacement engine.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 ​​The cylinder head body 100 has a connecting surface 110 connected to the cylinder body of the engine, and one end of the cylinder head body 100 away from the connecting surface 110 has a connecting matching surface 120. A recessed cavity 121 recessed towards the inside of the cylinder head body 100 is provided on the connecting matching surface 120, an intake valve guide pipe 121A communicating with the intake port 210 and an exhaust valve guide pipe 121B communicating with the exhaust port 310 are provided in the recessed cavity 121, and a throttle valve for adjusting the air volume is provided in the intake valve guide pipe 121A and the exhaust valve guide pipe 121B one by one. The intake air volume entering the combustion chamber 111 and the exhaust air volume can be accurately controlled. By adjusting the opening degree of the throttle valve, the intake air volume and the exhaust air volume can be accurately adjusted according to the needs of different working conditions of the engine (such as idling, acceleration, high-speed driving, etc.), so that the engine can maintain good running state under various working conditions, improve combustion efficiency and power output. According to the actual running condition of the engine, the air volume is adjusted in real time, which can effectively avoid the fluctuation of engine performance caused by improper intake air volume or exhaust air volume, and improve the stability of engine performance.

[0023] Please continue to read Figure 2 The combustion chamber 111 is recessed in the connecting surface 110, and on the projection surface of the connecting surface 110, the intake valve seat 200 has a first side protruding part 220 protruding outward, and the exhaust valve seat 300 has a second side protruding part 320 protruding outward. The first side protruding part 220 of the intake valve seat 200 and the second side protruding part 320 of the exhaust valve seat 300 protrude outward, which can increase the size of the intake and exhaust valve seat 300 in a limited space, and further increase the flow area of the intake and exhaust. This is particularly important for small displacement engines, which can effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient intake and exhaust flow area caused by reduced cylinder diameter, reduce intake and exhaust resistance, improve engine intake efficiency and exhaust smoothness, and thus improve combustion efficiency. The increased intake and exhaust flow area and optimized air flow movement help to form more ideal mixture, so that the fuel can be more fully burned. Full combustion not only improves the thermal efficiency of the engine, reduces fuel consumption, but also reduces harmful gas emissions, improves the fuel economy and emission performance of the engine.

[0024] The combustion chamber 111 is semispherical, the first side protrusion 220 and the second side protrusion 320 are both circular arc structures, and the circular arc structures are smoother than sharp or irregular shapes. When the airflow flows through the first side protrusion 220 of the intake valve seat 200 and the second side protrusion 320 of the exhaust valve seat 300, the smooth circular arc surface can reduce the collision and friction between the airflow and the wall surface. According to the principle of fluid mechanics, the smaller the resistance encountered by the airflow during flow, the slower the decay of its flow rate, so that it can flow more smoothly through the valve seat area and enter or exhaust the combustion chamber 111. The centers of the first side protrusion 220 and the second side protrusion 320 are on the same straight line. This regular geometric layout provides a clear guide for the airflow. During the intake, the air can enter the combustion chamber 111 at a relatively stable angle and direction under the guidance of the circular arc first side protrusion 220, which helps to form uniform mixed gas. Similarly, during the exhaust, the exhaust gas can be more orderly discharged from the combustion chamber 111 under the guidance of the second side protrusion 320, reducing exhaust gas residue. This stable airflow direction helps to improve the combustion efficiency and exhaust effect in the combustion chamber 111. It should be noted that the present application is not limited to the case where the centers of the first side protrusion 220 and the second side protrusion 320 are on the same straight line. In other possible embodiments, the centers of the first side protrusion 220 and the second side protrusion 320 can also not be on the same straight line.

[0025] The combustion chamber 111 is provided with a spark plug mounting hole 1110 between the intake valve seat 200 and the exhaust valve seat 300, which provides an accurate mounting position for the spark plug, so that the electrode of the spark plug can be in the best ignition area of the combustion chamber 111 to ensure reliable ignition.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 3 The edge of the first side protrusion 220 and the edge of the second side protrusion 320 form an obtuse angle α with the edge of the combustion chamber 111, and the angle α is 120°-150°. During the intake process, the air can flow more smoothly into the combustion chamber 111 along this angle, avoiding direct impact of the airflow on the wall surface to cause energy loss and turbulence. During the exhaust, the exhaust gas can also be more effectively discharged, reducing exhaust gas residue. At the same time, this angle setting helps to make the airflow more uniformly distributed in the combustion chamber 111, promoting the full mixing of the mixed gas and creating good conditions for efficient combustion. An angle β is formed between the end of the first side protrusion 220 and the end of the second side protrusion 320, and the angle β is an obtuse angle. The obtuse angle β helps to form a specific airflow movement pattern in the combustion chamber 111. This airflow movement can enhance the turbulence degree of the mixed gas, so that the fuel and air can be more fully contacted and mixed, thereby improving the combustion speed and combustion efficiency.

[0027] On the front projection plane of the connecting surface 110, the cross-sectional area of the first side protrusion 220 is larger than that of the second side protrusion 320, and the inner diameter of the intake passage 210 is larger than that of the exhaust passage 310. The larger inner diameter of the intake passage 210 and the larger cross-sectional area of the first side protrusion 220 of the intake valve seat 200 can increase the effective flow area of the intake passage. During the intake stroke of the engine, the larger intake passage can allow more air to enter the combustion chamber 111 in the same time. Sufficient air intake can help to form a more ideal air-fuel ratio, which can ensure the complete combustion of fuel. For example, during high-speed operation of the engine, the larger air intake can meet the oxygen demand of the engine and improve the power output of the engine. The smaller inner diameter of the exhaust passage 310 can increase the exhaust flow rate to some extent, which can help to exhaust the exhaust gas in the combustion chamber 111 more thoroughly and prepare for the next intake.

[0028] The smooth and continuous curves between any adjacent cross sections inside the intake passage 210 can make the airflow pass through the intake passage 210 more smoothly, reduce the friction and collision between the airflow and the wall surface, and reduce the intake resistance. This can help more air to enter the combustion chamber 111 under the same intake pressure, thereby improving the intake efficiency.

[0029] The axes of the intake valve seat 200 and the exhaust valve seat 300 form an angle with the normal direction of the connecting surface 110. The existence of the angle changes the arrangement angle of the intake and exhaust valves, so that the movement trajectory of the intake and exhaust flows changes when entering and exiting the combustion chamber 111. During the intake process, the air enters the combustion chamber 111 at a certain angle, which can generate stronger intake swirl or tumble flow, and promote the air and fuel to mix more fully. This good mixture formation can help to improve the combustion speed and efficiency, so that the fuel can be more completely burned, thereby improving the power output and thermal efficiency of the engine.

[0030] The first side protrusion 220 on the intake valve seat 200 and the second side protrusion 320 on the exhaust valve seat 300 protrude outward from the outer edge of the combustion chamber 111, the cross-sectional area of the first side protrusion 220 is larger than that of the second side protrusion 320, which effectively increases the flow area of intake and exhaust air, reduces the resistance of intake and exhaust air, improves the efficiency of intake and exhaust air, realizes performance improvement in limited space, and meets the requirements of small displacement engines for compact structure and good performance. Two, compared with the traditional structure design, the valve seat design protruding outward from the outer edge of the combustion chamber 111 can make the structure stress more uniform and reduce stress concentration. Especially in small displacement engines, due to limited space, reasonable structure design can enhance the structural strength and stability of the valve seat area, improve its durability, and prolong the service life of the engine. Three, the axes of the intake valve seat 200 and the exhaust valve seat 300 form an angle with the normal line of the connecting surface 110, and the specific shape (circular arc shape and common center) and the angle (α and β are obtuse angles) of the first side protrusion 220 and the second side protrusion 320 provide clear guidance for airflow, form stable airflow direction, promote intake swirl or tumble flow, make air more orderly enter and exit the combustion chamber 111, reduce exhaust gas residue, and improve the combustion efficiency and exhaust effect in the combustion chamber 111.
