Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine cylinder block cooling technology, specifically to engine cylinder block structure. Background Technology
[0002] The engine is a crucial power component of a vehicle. An engine generally consists of a cylinder block and a cylinder head. The ideal thermal operating condition of an engine is as follows: the cylinder head temperature is relatively low, while the cylinder block temperature is relatively high. A lower cylinder head temperature can improve charging efficiency, increase intake volume to promote complete combustion, and increase output power, while a higher cylinder block temperature will reduce friction loss and improve fuel efficiency.
[0003] In related technologies, to ensure that the cylinder head and cylinder block operate at suitable temperatures, a cooling structure is added to the engine for cooling. The engine cooling structure includes a cylinder block cooling water jacket and a cylinder head water jacket. Each cooling water jacket has an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other. The inlet and outlet are connected by a circulation pipe. When cooling the engine, coolant enters through the inlet, directly reaching the cylinder block water jacket, flowing along its channels to cool the cylinder block, and then flowing out of the cylinder block water jacket into the cylinder head water jacket to cool the cylinder head, thus cooling the entire engine block.
[0004] However, most existing cooling water jackets are one-piece structures, with cooling water flowing directly from the inlet to the outlet. This directional flow makes it difficult for certain areas of the engine block to come into contact with the coolant, resulting in uneven cooling of the engine block and reduced cooling efficiency. To address these issues, a new engine block structure is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an engine cylinder block structure. The present invention injects coolant into the upper and lower water-cooling jackets simultaneously through the water inlet pipe, and then through the connecting channel and the crossbeam channel, so that the coolant flows quickly into the upper and lower connecting arc jackets, thereby allowing most areas of the engine cylinder block to contact the coolant, thus improving the local heat dissipation effect and making the heat dissipation on the engine cylinder block more uniform, thereby improving its cooling effect.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an engine cylinder block structure, including a cooling water jacket installed inside the engine cylinder block. One end of the cooling water jacket is connected to an inlet pipe, and the other end is connected to an outlet pipe. The cooling water jacket includes an upper water cooling jacket assembly installed in the upper part of the engine cylinder block and a lower water cooling jacket assembly installed in the lower part of the engine cylinder block. A tee fitting is provided at the outlet end of the inlet pipe. The outlet end of one end of the tee fitting is connected to the upper water cooling jacket assembly, and the outlet end of the other end of the tee fitting is connected to the lower water cooling jacket assembly. Multiple water passage holes are provided on the engine cylinder block. The lower end of each water passage hole is connected to a connecting channel. The lower water cooling jacket assembly and the upper water cooling jacket assembly are respectively connected to the connecting channel. The lower water cooling jacket assembly and the upper water cooling jacket assembly are connected to the outlet pipe through the tee fitting.
[0007] The engine block has multiple cylinder holes for mounting cylinders. The cylinder holes are used to install wear-resistant cylinder liners. Connecting beams are provided between the cylinder holes. The connecting beams are used to strengthen the mechanical load of the engine block and also to install crossbeam channels, thereby connecting the upper arc-shaped sleeves.
[0008] A pair of connecting ports are provided on the connecting beam. The connecting ports are used to extend the contact surface between the coolant in the upper connecting arc jacket and the cylinder, thereby cooling the area of the connecting beam. The cylinder bores are connected through the connecting ports.
[0009] The upper water cooling jacket assembly includes a pair of upper connecting arc jackets surrounding the cylinder bore surface. The two upper connecting arc jackets work together to cool the upper surface of multiple cylinders. The upper connecting arc jackets are connected by multiple hollow arc-shaped jackets. The upper connecting arc jackets are connected by a crossbeam channel. The crossbeam channel is used to connect the two upper connecting arc jackets. The crossbeam channel is located between the two connecting ports.
[0010] The lower water cooling jacket assembly includes a pair of lower connecting arc jackets surrounding the cylinder bore surface. The two lower connecting arc jackets work together to cool the surface of the lower part of multiple cylinders. The lower connecting arc jackets are connected by multiple hollow arc-shaped jackets. The two ends of the lower connecting arc jackets are connected by arc-shaped channels. The arc-shaped channels are hollow inside and are used to connect the two lower connecting arc-shaped jackets.
[0011] Each cylinder bore has a fixed receiving ring on the top inner wall for placing the sealing ring. The receiving ring is used to install the sealing ring on the top of the engine block. Each connecting beam has a relief groove at the top to prevent the sealing ring from being damaged after the cylinder liner is pressed into the cylinder bore.
[0012] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0013] 1. The upper and lower water cooling jackets are simultaneously injected with coolant through the inlet pipe, and then the coolant flows quickly into the upper and lower connecting arc jackets through the connecting channel and the crossbeam channel. This allows most areas of the engine block to come into contact with the coolant, thereby improving the local heat dissipation effect and making the heat dissipation on the engine block more uniform, thus improving its cooling effect.
[0014] 2. The connecting channel cools the area of the engine block excluding the cooling water jacket. The crossbeam channel allows the connecting beam between the engine block cylinders to have sufficient indirect contact with the coolant, thus enabling the coolant to flow quickly into the cooling water jacket.
[0015] 3. The receiving ring is used to install the sealing ring on the top of the engine cylinder block. The clearance groove is embedded in the engine cylinder block. The clearance groove is used to prevent the sealing ring from being damaged after the cylinder liner is pressed into the cylinder bore. Attached Figure Description

The cooling water jacket 101 includes an upper water cooling jacket assembly 200 disposed in the upper part of the engine block 100 and a lower water cooling jacket assembly 300 disposed in the lower part of the engine block 100.

[0033] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 5, 7, and 8: The upper water cooling jacket assembly 200 includes a pair of upper connecting arc jackets 202 surrounding the surface of the cylinder bore 400. The arc-shaped surface of the upper connecting arc jacket 202 is in contact with the cylinder wall.

The upper connecting arc jackets 202 are connected by multiple hollow arc-shaped jackets. The upper connecting arc jackets 202 are connected to each other through a crossbeam channel 203. The two ends of the crossbeam channel 203 are integrally connected to the upper connecting arc-shaped jackets on the same side.

[0034] Its effect is as follows: the two upper arc-shaped jackets 202 work together to cool the surface of the upper part of multiple cylinders, and the crossbeam channel 203 is used to connect the two upper arc-shaped jackets.
[0035] like Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figures 5 and 6: The lower water cooling jacket assembly 300 includes a pair of lower connecting arc jackets 301 surrounding the surface of the cylinder bore 400.

The arc-shaped channel 302 is hollow inside and is used to connect the two lower connecting arc jackets. The two ends of the arc-shaped channel 302 are integrally connected with the lower connecting arc jackets on the same side.

The area of the engine block 100 except for the cooling water jacket 101 is cooled through the connecting channel 105. The crossbeam channel 203 allows the connecting beam 401 between the cylinders of the engine block 100 to have sufficient indirect contact with the coolant, so that the coolant flows quickly into the upper connecting arc jacket 202 and the lower connecting arc jacket 301. This ensures that most areas of the engine block 100 are in contact with the coolant, thereby improving the local heat dissipation effect and making the heat dissipation on the engine block 100 more uniform, thus improving its cooling effect. The structure of this cooling water jacket 101 is suitable for 6-cylinder or 4-cylinder engine block structures.
