Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power machinery, and in particular to an engine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional air-cooled diesel engine blocks consist of a crankcase and cylinder liners, typically formed as a single unit using die casting. The cylinder head is manufactured using casting. The engine block and cylinder head are bolted together and sealed with gaskets. Due to the complex operating conditions of diesel engines, cylinder head gasket failure is a common problem. Furthermore, the unibody design requires complete replacement after damage, resulting in high maintenance costs. To facilitate maintenance, some manufacturers have developed split-type engine blocks, separating the cylinder liners from the crankcase. The cylinder head, cylinder liners, and crankcase are assembled into a single unit, allowing for partial replacement based on damage. However, this structure suffers from insufficient overall strength, affecting engine reliability. Additionally, the need for gaskets between the cylinder liners and crankcase increases potential oil leaks, making it difficult to balance structural stability and sealing performance.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an engine that overcomes the defects mentioned above. Utility Model Content
