DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0041] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of a kind and do not limit the number of objects, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0042] The cylinder head, engine, hybrid assembly and vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments and their application scenarios.
[0043] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the present application provides a cylinder head, which is provided with a water jacket; the cylinder head is provided with a conduit hole 11, and the water jacket is provided with a flow channel 12 and a pressure loss adjusting part 13; at least one flow channel 12 is divided into a first sub-flow channel 121 and a second sub-flow channel 122 by the conduit hole 11, and the pressure loss adjusting part 13 is located on one of the sub-flow channels, which is suitable for balancing the pressure loss of the cooling liquid in the first sub-flow channel 121 and the second sub-flow channel 122.
[0044] Specifically, the cylinder head includes at least one water jacket, in some embodiments, a single water jacket structure can be used, or a structure of two layers of water jackets assembled together. For example, to effectively reduce the temperature of the exhaust passage and achieve more uniform temperature distribution of the exhaust passage, a structure of a first water jacket 1 and a second water jacket 2 is used, wherein the first water jacket 1 is also called an upper water jacket, and the second water jacket 2 is also called a lower water jacket. The pressing point 5 is used to install and fix the first water jacket 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the first water jacket 1 and the second water jacket 2 are in communication with each other, to avoid the influence of engine heat radiation on the electronic control system and the motor, the intake passage 31 is arranged on the lower side along the Z direction, and the exhaust passage 32 is arranged on the upper side along the Z direction. It should be noted that the positions of the intake passage 31 and the exhaust passage 32 in the drawings of the present embodiment are only illustrative, and the specific structure is not shown. That is, the intake passage 31 and the exhaust passage 32 are sandwiched between the first water jacket 1 and the second water jacket 2, and the high-temperature gas discharged by the engine can be exchanged with the cooling liquid in the first water jacket 1 and the second water jacket 2 at the same time, thereby improving the cooling effect. At the same time, to avoid the generation of water bubbles due to high temperature of the cooling water, which may cause high temperature and even cavitation of the engine, the second water jacket cooling liquid inlet 22 is arranged on the lower side along the Z direction, i.e. on the side of the intake passage 31, and the cooling liquid outlet 21 is arranged on the upper side along the Z direction, i.e. on the side of the exhaust passage 32. The cooling liquid of the present embodiment is water.
[0045] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the cylinder head is provided with a guide pipe hole 11, and the water jacket is provided with a flow channel 12 and a pressure loss adjusting part 13. The guide pipe hole 11 is suitable for installing a valve guide pipe. At least one flow channel 12 is divided into a first sub-flow channel 121 and a second sub-flow channel 122 by one guide pipe hole 11. Due to the different positions and cooling liquid flow paths of the two sub-flow channels, the pressure loss and flow rate in the two sub-flow channels are different. The pressure loss adjusting part 13 can be integrally formed or connected separately on the water jacket, and its shape can be set as a strip, an arc or other irregular polygon, which is not limited in the embodiment. The pressure loss adjusting part 13 can adopt forms including but not limited to a flow restrictor, a flow orifice plate or a pressure loss adjusting rib. The flow restrictor or the flow orifice plate can be formed separately from the water jacket. When the cooling liquid in one of the sub-flow channels passes through the flow restrictor or the flow orifice plate, the cross-sectional area of the flow path changes, the flow rate changes, and the pressure loss in the sub-flow channel is adjusted. The pressure loss adjusting part 13 of the embodiment is a pressure loss adjusting rib, which is integrally formed with the water jacket and has certain strength and rigidity, so it can withstand the impact from the cooling liquid. Part of the pressure loss adjusting part 13 is located between the guide pipe hole 11 and the cooling liquid return port. According to the different flow path lengths between the first sub-flow channel 121, the second sub-flow channel 122 and the cooling liquid return port 14, the pressure loss adjusting part 13 is arranged at different positions. When the flow path length of the first sub-flow channel 121 is greater than that of the second sub-flow channel 122, the pressure loss adjusting part 13 is arranged in the second sub-flow channel 122; when the flow path length of the first sub-flow channel 121 is less than that of the second sub-flow channel 122, the pressure loss adjusting part 13 is arranged in the first sub-flow channel 121. The pressure loss adjusting part 13 is used to increase the flow resistance and flow path length of the cooling liquid in the second sub-flow channel. Due to the blockage of the pressure loss adjusting part 13, the flow path of the sub-flow channel changes from a straight line or a gentle curve to an irregular line with a large corner, thereby increasing the flow path length. Thus, the pressure loss adjusting part 13 increases the flow pressure loss of the cooling liquid in the sub-flow channel, and the flow rates in the first sub-flow channel 121 and the second sub-flow channel 122 tend to be equal, that is, the flow rates on both sides of the guide pipe hole 11 are balanced, and the cooling effect at different positions of the guide pipe hole 11 is consistent.
[0046] The cylinder head provided by the embodiment of the present application has the pressure loss adjusting part arranged on one of the sub-flow channels, which can increase the flow resistance and flow path of the cooling liquid in the sub-flow channel, increase the pressure loss in the sub-flow channel, balance the flow rates of the cooling liquid in the sub-flow channels on both sides of the guide pipe hole, make the cooling effects on both sides of the guide pipe hole consistent, reduce the risk of uneven wear of the cylinder head, and improve the reliability of the cylinder head and the engine.
[0047] Optionally, referring to FIG. 4, the cylinder head is provided with a plurality of guide pipe holes 11, and the number of flow channels 12 is a plurality.
[0048] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of guide holes 11 are arranged on the cylinder head, and at least one flow channel 12 of the water jacket is arranged corresponding to the guide holes 11. Each flow channel 12 is divided into a first sub-flow channel 121 and a second sub-flow channel 122 by a guide hole 11. Since there are a plurality of guide holes 11, and the flow channels 12 need to converge and flow out, a pressure loss adjusting part 13 is arranged to avoid the problem of uneven cooling on both sides of the guide hole.
[0049] Specifically, when a single cylinder engine is used, there are two valve guides, that is, two guide holes 11 are arranged on the water jacket; as shown in FIG. 4, the embodiment uses a two-cylinder engine, and two guide holes 11 are arranged on each side of the cylinder, a total of four guide holes 11. Each guide hole 11 corresponds to a flow channel 12 for cooling and heat exchange, and the first water jacket 1 is taken as an example, which is provided with a first flow channel 12a, a second flow channel 12b, a third flow channel 12c and a fourth flow channel 12d, and each flow channel passes through a guide hole 11. As shown in FIG. 3, the cooling liquid flowing into the first water jacket 1 from the middle cooling liquid first inlet 15 enters the second flow channel 12b and the third flow channel 12c, the cooling liquid flowing into the first water jacket 1 from the left cooling liquid first inlet 15 enters the first flow channel 12a, and the cooling liquid flowing into the first water jacket 1 from the right cooling liquid first inlet 15 enters the fourth flow channel 12d. The four flow channels are arranged in parallel and do not affect each other, so that the cooling effect of different guide holes 11 is balanced. Different valve guides exchange heat with the cooling liquid in the respective flow channels, effectively reducing the working temperature of the valve guide, reducing wear and performance degradation caused by high temperature, and prolonging the service life of the valve guide, thereby protecting the normal operation of the engine.
[0050] Optionally, referring to FIG. 4, the water jacket is provided with a cooling liquid return port 14; and the plurality of flow channels 12 converge to the cooling liquid return port 14.
[0051] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the flow channel 12 is in communication with the cooling liquid return port 14 or the cooling liquid outlet 21, and if the cylinder head is provided with only one water jacket, the flow channel 12 is in communication with the cooling liquid outlet 21. The embodiment is provided with two water jackets, i.e., the first water jacket 1 and the second water jacket 2. The plurality of flow channels 12 on the first water jacket 1 converge to the cooling liquid return port 14 and flow to the second water jacket 2 through the cooling liquid return port 14.
[0052] Optionally, referring to FIG. 4, in each flow channel 12, the flow path length between the first sub-flow channel 121 and the cooling liquid return port 14 is L1, the flow path length between the second sub-flow channel 122 and the cooling liquid return port 14 is L2, L1>L2, and the pressure loss adjusting part 13 is located on the second sub-flow channel 122.
[0053] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the flow path length between the first sub-flow channel 121 and the cooling liquid return port 14 is L1, the flow path length between the second sub-flow channel 122 and the cooling liquid return port 14 is L2, L1>L2, that is, the path of the cooling liquid flowing to the cooling liquid return port 14 in the first sub-flow channel 121 is longer than that in the second sub-flow channel 122. In other words, the first sub-flow channel 121 is located on the side of the conduit hole 11 away from the cooling liquid return port 14, and the second sub-flow channel 122 is located on the side of the conduit hole 11 close to the cooling liquid return port 14. That is, the second sub-flow channel 122 is closer to the cooling liquid return port 14 than the first sub-flow channel 121, and the path of the second sub-flow channel 122 to the cooling liquid return port 14 is also shorter. It should be noted that four cooling liquid return ports 14 are shown in FIG. 3, and the actual cooling liquid mainly flows into the second water jacket 2 from the two central cooling liquid return ports 14, so here the close or far away from the cooling liquid return port 14 is with reference to the two central cooling liquid return ports 14. The pressure loss adjusting part 13 is located on the second sub-flow channel 122 to increase the flow path length and flow resistance of the cooling liquid in the second sub-flow channel 122, and to increase the pressure loss in the second sub-flow channel 122, so as to balance the flow of the cooling liquid in the sub-flow channels on both sides of the conduit hole 11, and make the cooling effect on both sides of the conduit hole 11 consistent.
[0054] Optionally, referring to FIG. 4, the pressure loss adjusting part 13 has an extension protrusion 131 located between the conduit hole 11 and the cooling liquid return port 14.
[0055] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the pressure loss adjusting part 13 is an adjusting rib, and the end of the adjusting rib has an extension protrusion 131 located between the conduit hole 11 and the cooling liquid return port 14, that is, at a downstream position of the second sub-flow channel 122, to increase the pressure loss in the second sub-flow channel 122.
[0056] Optionally, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the distance between the central axis of the conduit hole 11 along the cooling liquid flow direction and the extension protrusion 131 is a, a≤8mm.
[0057] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the cooling liquid flows along a curved path, but as a whole, the cooling liquid flow direction is along the Y direction, the distance between the central axis of the conduit hole 11 along the Y direction and the extension protrusion 131 is a, a≤8mm, to ensure the effectiveness of the pressure loss adjusting part 13 for adjusting the pressure loss of the cooling liquid in the second sub-flow channel 122. If the distance a is greater than 8mm, the distance between the end of the pressure loss adjusting part 13 and the conduit hole 11 is too large, the blocking effect of the pressure loss adjusting part 13 on the cooling liquid in the second sub-flow channel 122 is reduced, and the pressure loss of the cooling liquid in the second sub-flow channel 122 cannot be effectively increased. In some embodiments, the value of the distance a is set to 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm or other values within the above range.
[0058] Optionally, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the distance between the central axis of the flow channel 12 along the direction of the cooling liquid flow and the central axis of the conduit hole 11 along the direction of the cooling liquid flow is b, b≤8mm.
[0059] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the distance between the central axis of the conduit hole 11 along the Y direction and the central axis of the flow channel 12 along the Y direction is b, b≤8mm, so as to ensure that the cross-sectional areas of the flow channels on both sides of the conduit hole 11 are close to each other, and the flow rates on both sides of the conduit hole 11 are close to each other, and the cooling effects on both sides of the conduit hole 11 are consistent. If the distance b is greater than 8mm, the cross-sectional areas of the flow channels 12 on both sides of the conduit hole 11 will be too different, resulting in uneven flow rates. In some embodiments, the distance b is set to 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm or other values within the above range. In addition, the axis of the flow channel 12 can be any direction around the circumference of the conduit hole 11.
[0060] Optionally, referring to FIG. 4, the cross-sectional area of the first sub-flow channel 121 passing through the conduit hole 11 is S1, the cross-sectional area of the second sub-flow channel 122 passing through the conduit hole 11 is S2, and the ratio between |S1-S2| and S1 or S2 is m, m≤20%.
[0061] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional area of the first sub-flow channel 121 passing through one side of the conduit hole 11 is S1, and the cross-sectional area of the second sub-flow channel 122 passing through the other side of the conduit hole 11 is S2. |S1-S2| / S1≤20% or |S1-S2| / S2≤20%. In other words, the numerical difference between the cross-sectional area S1 of the first sub-flow channel 121 and the cross-sectional area S2 of the second sub-flow channel 122 is less than or equal to 20%. For example, when S1 is 10mm 2 , S2 can be 8mm 2 , 9mm 2 , 10mm 2 , 11mm 2 , 12mm 2 or other values within the above range. Due to errors in the assembly process, there will be some difference in the cross-sectional areas of the flow channels on both sides of the conduit hole 11. However, when the numerical difference is within 20%, it indicates that the values of S1 and S2 are close to each other, so as to ensure that the flow rates on both sides of the conduit hole 11 are close to each other, and the cooling effects on both sides of the conduit hole 11 are consistent.
[0062] Optionally, referring to FIGS. 1-3, the cylinder head is provided with a first water jacket 1 and a second water jacket 2; the first water jacket 1 and the second water jacket 2 are both provided with the flow channel 12, the second water jacket 2 is provided with a coolant outlet 21, the first water jacket 1 is provided with the pressure loss adjusting portion 13 and the coolant return port 14, and the first water jacket 1 communicates with the second water jacket 2 through the coolant return port 14.
[0063] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the cylinder head is composed of the first water jacket 1 and the second water jacket 2 which communicate with each other and are assembled together.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the first water jacket 1 is provided with a first flow channel 12a, a second flow channel 12b, a third flow channel 12c and a fourth flow channel 12d. Each flow channel passes through a conduit hole 11, wherein the first flow channel 12a and the second flow channel 12b are used for cooling the left engine cylinders, and the third flow channel 12c and the fourth flow channel 12d are used for cooling the right engine cylinders.
