[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1-4 :
[0022] A cylinder head structure for a motorcycle engine includes a combustion chamber 1, a spark plug 2, an intake assembly, and an exhaust assembly. The intake assembly includes an intake port 3 and an intake valve 4. The intake port 3 includes a main intake passage 5 and an auxiliary intake passage 6. The main intake passage 5 is arc-shaped and connects to the combustion chamber 1. The auxiliary intake passage 6 is located on one side of the main intake passage 5 and connects to the main intake passage 5. The cross-sectional area of the auxiliary intake passage 6 is smaller than that of the main intake passage 5. The connection between the main intake passage 5 and the auxiliary intake passage 6 is located on the outer side of the travel of the intake valve 4.
[0023] In this embodiment, when the engine intake valve 4 is activated, the gas mainly enters the combustion chamber 1 through the main intake duct 5. At the same time, some gas enters through the auxiliary intake duct 6 with a smaller diameter. The airflow entering through the auxiliary intake duct 6 disturbs the mainstream gas in the main intake duct 5, disrupts the laminar flow state, and significantly enhances the tumble intensity of the gas entering the combustion chamber 1, that is, forms a stronger air rotation motion. The enhanced tumble promotes the mixing of fuel and air, increases the turbulence intensity in the combustion chamber 1, and thus indirectly improves combustion efficiency and speed.
[0024] Furthermore, the intake openings of both the main intake duct 5 and the auxiliary intake duct 6 are located on the intake end face of the cylinder head, and the auxiliary intake duct 6 is located on the side close to the combustion chamber 1. The above layout can shorten the transmission path of the disturbed airflow, ensure that the airflow acts efficiently on the core flow area of the main intake duct 5, and reduce the loss of airflow kinetic energy.
[0025] Furthermore, the main intake duct 5 bends toward the combustion chamber 1 and connects to the combustion chamber 1, and the auxiliary intake duct 6 is arranged radially along the cylinder head and extends through the main intake duct 5; the above layout can generate high-intensity shear vortices and improve tumble intensity.
[0026] The cross-section of the aforementioned auxiliary air intake 6 is a flat structure, and the extension direction of the long side of the flat structure is parallel to that of the main air intake 5; the airflow of the flat structure can act on the main airflow over a wider range.
[0027] Preferably, the auxiliary air intake duct 6 is located at the position corresponding to the middle of the main air intake duct 5.
[0028] Preferably, the auxiliary air intake duct 6 is provided with an irregular variable diameter or curved surface structure, which can induce local turbulence.
[0029] Preferably, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the main air intake 5 to the auxiliary air intake 6 is 10:1 to 5:1.
[0030] The connection between the auxiliary air intake duct 6 and the main air intake duct 5 is located on the side of the main air intake duct 5 near the combustion chamber 1. The design near the combustion chamber 1 allows the turbulent airflow to be directly transmitted to the intake valve 4.
[0031] This embodiment further increases the structural strength of the cylinder head. The cylinder head is connected to the cylinder block and crankcase by four cylinder head bolts 7. The cylinder head is provided with mounting posts 8 that are adapted to the cylinder head bolts 7. The top of the mounting posts 8 is provided with a reinforcing plate 9. The reinforcing plate 9 has four connecting ends 10, and each connecting end 10 is provided with a mounting hole 11 for the cylinder head bolts 7 to pass through. Preferably, the reinforcing plate 9 has an X-shaped structure. Through the connecting effect of the reinforcing plate 9, the cylinder head deformation caused by high temperature and high pressure can be greatly reduced.
[0032] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
