[0035] Example 1

[0036] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the engine cylinder head cover provided in this application includes a cylinder head cover body 101, an ignition device 102, a fuel injection assembly, and a pre-combustion chamber 103. The pre-combustion chamber 103 includes a mounting plate 104 and a chamber body 105; the chamber body 105 extends into the cylinder head cover body 101 and into the cylinder head 108, and has an opening at its top; the fuel injection assembly includes an injector 106, which enters the chamber body 105 through the opening to ensure precise injection and full atomization of fuel within the pre-combustion chamber 103, thereby improving the quality of the air-fuel mixture and combustion stability. The ignition device 102 penetrates the cylinder head cover body 101; a first socket is provided at the bottom of the chamber body 105, and the spark plug 113 of the ignition device 102 enters the chamber body 105 through the first socket to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the pre-combustion chamber 103. A connecting hole 107 is provided at the bottom of the chamber body 105 to connect to the main combustion chamber.

[0037] Mounting plate 104 is connected to the top of the chamber body 105, and is also used to connect to the side of cylinder head 108 facing cylinder head cover body 101. The pre-combustion chamber 103 can be hoisted onto cylinder head 108 via mounting plate 104, enabling stable installation of the pre-combustion chamber 103. Specifically, mounting plate 104 has two connecting holes; bolts passing through these holes allow mounting plate 104 to be installed onto cylinder head 108. Cylinder head cover body 101 has a clearance opening 109 to accommodate mounting plate 104, optimizing space layout, simplifying assembly, and ensuring structural compactness.

[0038] The engine cylinder head cover provided in this application, by setting the spark plug 113 and the pre-combustion chamber 103 as independent structures and placing the fuel injector 106 inside the pre-combustion chamber 103, allows the fuel to directly enter the pre-combustion chamber 103 and be fully atomized. Furthermore, the spark plug 113 is inserted into the chamber body 105, thereby improving the quality of the air-fuel mixture and combustion stability. The pre-combustion chamber 103 can be stably installed on the cylinder head 108, and the cylinder head cover body 101 has an opening 109 to accommodate the mounting plate 104, achieving optimized spatial layout and ensuring structural compactness.

[0039] In this embodiment, there are multiple pre-combustion chambers 103, which are spaced apart along the length of the cylinder head cover body 101. Injectors 106 are correspondingly arranged with respect to the pre-combustion chambers 103. The cylinder head cover body 101 has multiple clearance openings 109, and a connecting beam 110 is provided between adjacent clearance openings 109.

[0040] Preferably, the connecting beam 110 has a thinned structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, four pre-combustion chambers 103 are illustrated, each equipped with an injector 106. This design enables a more uniform combustion distribution and improves overall combustion efficiency. The arrangement of multiple pre-combustion chambers 103 allows for better control of heat distribution and reduces heat concentration, thereby minimizing the impact of thermal stress on engine components and extending their service life. The connecting beam 110 between adjacent clearance openings 109 enhances the overall rigidity of the cylinder head cover body 101, reducing vibration and deformation and improving engine reliability and durability. The connecting beam 110 features a thinned structure, reducing the weight of the cylinder head cover body 101 while meeting strength requirements.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the engine cylinder head cover also includes an ignition device 102; the ignition device 102 is correspondingly provided with the pre-combustion chamber 103; the size of the clearance opening 109 is configured such that the ignition device 102 passes through the clearance opening 109 to enter the cylinder head cover body 101.

[0043] In this embodiment, each pre-combustion chamber 103 is equipped with an ignition device 102 to ensure that the air-fuel mixture in each pre-combustion chamber 103 can be accurately ignited. Figure 5As shown, the ignition device 102 includes an ignition coil 111, a high-voltage damping wire 112, and a spark plug 113 connected in sequence. The ignition coil 111 is located on the outside of the cylinder head cover body 101 (the side away from the cylinder head 108). The clearance opening 109 has dimensions of 29.2mm × 18.7mm. The clearance opening 109 is larger than the mounting plate 104, allowing it to not only avoid the mounting plate 104 but also enabling the high-voltage damping wire 112 to pass through the clearance opening 109 and extend into the cylinder head 108. Furthermore, a first insertion port is provided at the bottom of the chamber body 105, allowing the spark plug 113 at the bottom of the high-voltage damping wire 112 to enter the chamber body 105 through the first insertion port, ensuring accurate ignition positioning and improving combustion efficiency.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the engine cylinder head cover also includes a pressure sensor 114; the size of the clearance opening 109 is configured such that the connecting wire of the pressure sensor 114 passes through the clearance opening 109 to enter the cylinder head cover body 101; a second insertion port is provided at the bottom of the chamber body 105, and the sensing part of the pressure sensor 114 enters the chamber body 105 from the second insertion port.

[0045] In this embodiment, each pre-combustion chamber 103 is equipped with a pressure sensor 114 to ensure real-time monitoring of pressure changes within each pre-combustion chamber 103. The sensing element of the pressure sensor 114 enters the chamber body 105 through a second port, ensuring the accuracy of pressure measurement. The pressure sensor 114 can monitor pressure changes during combustion in real time, providing crucial data for optimizing combustion control strategies. The data from the pressure sensor 114 can help adjust the fuel injection quantity, ignition timing, and intake air volume, thereby achieving more precise combustion control and improving combustion efficiency and power output.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the fuel injection assembly further includes a fuel rail 115; the fuel rail 115 is located on the outside of the cylinder head cover body 101 and is connected to the fuel injector 106; the fuel rail 115 is provided with a connecting lug, and a connecting post 116 is provided on the connecting beam 110, the connecting lug is connected to the connecting post 116 so that the fuel rail 115 is adjacent to the pre-combustion chamber 103.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fuel rail 115 is connected to multiple injectors 106, ensuring that fuel is evenly distributed to each injector 106. This ensures consistent fuel supply within each pre-combustion chamber 103, improving combustion efficiency and power output. The design of the fuel rail 115 allows for more stable fuel pressure, facilitating more precise injection control, reducing fluctuations in injection quantity, and improving combustion stability.

[0048] Furthermore, the connecting lugs on the fuel rail 115 and the connecting post 116 on the connecting beam 110 can be bolted together, allowing the fuel rail 115 to be securely mounted on the cylinder head cover body 101. The fuel rail 115's proximity to the pre-combustion chamber 103 contributes to a compact structure. The connecting post 116 also increases the strength of the connecting beam 110, thereby increasing the rigidity of the cylinder head cover body 101. Specifically, as... Figure 4 As shown, the connecting column 116 is inclined towards the oil rail 115, and the mounting surface of the connecting column 116 forms a 2° angle with the bottom surface of the cylinder head cover body 101, which facilitates the positioning of the oil rail 115 and the injector 106 and ensures the accuracy of the injection angle of the injector 106.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the fuel injection assembly further includes a fuel pump 117, which is connected to the fuel rail 115 via a pipeline. This ensures a stable and reliable fuel delivery process from the fuel pump 117 to the fuel rail 115 and then to the fuel injector 106, reducing pressure fluctuations and improving combustion efficiency and power output. A mounting bracket 118 is provided on the outer side of the cylinder head cover body 101. The fuel pump 117 and the mounting bracket 118 can be connected by bolts, making installation convenient and maintenance simple. The mounting bracket 118 can also accommodate the tappets of the fuel pump 117. This structure makes the fuel injection system more compact, reduces space occupation, and facilitates the optimization of the overall engine layout.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] The engine cylinder head cover in this second embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiments. The technical content disclosed in the above embodiments will not be described again, and the content disclosed in the above embodiments also belongs to the content disclosed in this second embodiment.

[0052] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, an air passage 119 is provided at one end of the cylinder head cover body 101 in the width direction; the first end port 120 of the air passage 119 is used to connect to the outlet of the turbocharger, and the second end port 121 of the air passage 119 is used to connect to the inlet of the intercooler.

[0053] In this embodiment, by setting the air passage 119, the pressurized air can smoothly enter the intercooler for cooling. Integrating the air passage 119 on the cylinder head cover body 101 reduces the use of external pipes, simplifies the layout of the intake system, and reduces assembly complexity and cost; it also reduces the external space occupation, making the layout in the engine compartment more compact and facilitating the arrangement of other components.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, a pipe connector 122 is provided in the middle of the air passage 119. The pipe connector 122 is used to connect to the pressure relief valve, and the lumen of the pipe connector 122 is connected to the air passage 119.

[0055] In this embodiment, precise control of the pressure relief valve allows for better management of the intake system pressure, ensuring stable intake pressure for the engine under various operating conditions, thereby improving combustion efficiency and power output. The pressure relief valve is directly connected to the air passage 119, reducing delays in the airflow path and improving the system's response speed. When excess pressure needs to be released quickly, it can act rapidly, avoiding the impact of pressure fluctuations on the engine.
