Description
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to the field of power machinery, in
particular to an air-cooling cylinder head of a gasoline engine and
a gasoline engine having the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] General-purpose gasoline engines are reciprocating piston
gasoline engines with broad applications, except applications in
vehicle and aeroplane. Generally, those with a power within 20 kW
are called as small general-purpose gasoline engines; and they have
high generality and advantages of small volume, small mass, simple
and convenient use and operation, and low price. As one of power
sources, the general-purpose gasoline engine is used for driving
general-purpose machinery, including agriculture and forestry plant
protection machinery, garden machinery, power generation sets and
construction machinery and the like. As a kind of power machinery
using gasoline as fuel, the gasoline engine consists of a cylinder,
a crank and connecting rod mechanism, a distribution system, an
fuel supply system, a lubrication system and an ignition system and
the like. The cylinder head is provided with an intake passage and
an exhaust passage and forms a combustion chamber together with the
cylinder; therefore it is a very important component of the
gasoline engine. The mixture of gasoline and air combusts in the
combustion chamber, a lot of heat is generated and used as driving
energy. The heat has to be inevitably transferred through the heat
conduction of the cylinder body and the cylinder head to the outer
surface and then transferred to the outside through other cooling
manners, and quick cooling is required to maintain the normal
working of the combustion chamber surface; otherwise, limitless
rise of the temperature of the combustion chamber wall surface may
be caused, finally the tail gas emission may be influenced and the
use of the cylinder head may be influenced, even piston sticking
and scuffing of cylinder may be caused.
[0003] In the prior art, as a cooling measure for the cylinder
head, arrangement of cooling fins on the outer surface is generally
adopted, the heat inside the combustion chamber is conducted to the
cooling fins through the cylinder head, and taken away through air
convection to achieve the purpose of cooling. Cooling fins have
excellent cooling efficiency and small weight, so they can meet the
cooling requirements. However, when the gasoline engine operates
for a long time, as the heat conduction performance and the
convection area of the cooling fins are limited, cooling is
insufficient; the accumulation of heat may influence the physical
performance of the cylinder head, further influence the operating
performance of the gasoline engine, even cause accidents and make
the gasoline engine scrapped.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the air-cooling
cylinder head of the gasoline engine, to make it have excellent
cooling efficiency, guarantee the physical performance of the
cylinder head, and decrease the temperature of the cylinder, so
that the gasoline engine can operate stably for a long time, the
hydrocarbon in the tail gas can be decreased effectively, and
piston sticking and scuffing of cylinder due to the rise of
temperature can be avoided.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] Therefore, the invention provides an air-cooling cylinder
head of a gasoline engine and a gasoline engine having the same, to
make the cylinder head have excellent cooling efficiency, guarantee
the physical performance of the cylinder head, and decrease the
temperature of the cylinder, so that the gasoline engine can
operate stably for a long time, the hydrocarbon in the tail gas can
be decreased effectively, and piston sticking and scuffing of
cylinder due to the rise of temperature can be avoided.
[0006] The air-cooling cylinder head of a gasoline engine comprises
a cylinder head main body, and an intake passage, an exhaust
passage and a spark plug mounting hole arranged in the cylinder
head main body, a plurality of cooling fins is arranged on the
outer surface of the cylinder head main body, a combustion chamber
surface is formed on the inner side of the cylinder head main body,
a longitudinally through air-cooling passage I is arranged on the
same side of the cylinder head main body as the intake passage and
the exhaust passage, a transversally through air-cooling passage II
is arranged between the intake passage and the exhaust passage, and
both the longitudinally through air-cooling passage I and the
transversally through air-cooling passage II are kept away from
function holes on the cylinder head main body.
[0007] Further, the axis of the intake passage and the axis of the
exhaust passage are in a coplane, the air-cooling passage I is
parallel to the coplane of the axis of the intake passage and the
axis of the exhaust passage, the air-cooling passage I and the
spark plug mounting hole are respectively located on two sides of
the coplane of the axis of the intake passage and the axis of the
exhaust passage, the air-cooling passage II is vertical to the
coplane of the axis of the intake passage and the axis of the
exhaust passage. The primary structure of the cylinder head can be
utilized to achieve the design of the air-cooling passages, and the
air-cooling passage I and the air-cooling passage II are vertical
to each other, so that the cooling air can flow from all
directions, the mounting of all components is not influenced, and
the manufacturing cost is saved; simultaneously, the design of the
air-cooling passages in the structure is beneficial to improve the
bending moment resistant capability of the cylinder head, in
conjunction with the enhancement of the cooling efficiency, the
cylinder head is light in weight, and the overall economy of the
machine is improved.
[0008] Further, the cooling fins extends into the air-cooling
passage I to form a cooling bridge, and the air-cooling passage I
is separated into a structure with a plurality of parallel and
longitudinal passages by the cooling bridge. The cooling bridge
structure is beneficial to guarantee the strength of the cylinder
head after the air-cooling passage I is opened, simultaneously,
through the cooling bridge, the heat radiation and conduction area
during cooling is increased, which is further beneficial to the
cooling.
[0009] Further, a through spark plug air-cooling passage is
arranged on the same side of the cylinder head main body as the
spark plug mounting hole. The spark plug can be cooled well by
means of air cooling, and the problem that the service life of the
spark plug is decreased due to high temperature in the prior art is
avoided.
[0010] Further, the cooling fins on the cylinder head main body
extends to the outer wall of the exhaust passage. This structure
can decrease the exhaust temperature, which benefits to the
protection of the tail gas treatment components inside the exhaust
system, further reduce emission and benefit to the environmental
protection.
[0011] Further, the combustion chamber surface is of a complexly
spherical structure comprising a sphere I, a smooth curve and a
sphere II in turn from the bottom to the top, and the radius of the
sphere II is larger than that of the sphere I; and the sphere I and
the sphere II are in smooth transition through the smooth curve. As
the spherical combustion chamber surface has minimum surface to
volume ratio, the working efficiency of the gasoline engine is
improved, however, as global structure is not beneficial to the
sufficient mixing of combustion gases, the mixing efficiency is
decreased, and combustion and emission are influenced; the use of
complex spherical structure not only further decreases the surface
to volume ratio, but also more benefits to the combustion and
reduction of emission as curve transition is beneficial to the
mixing of combustion gases, so that the power of the gasoline
engine is increased. Simultaneously, the included angles between
the intake/exhaust valves and the intake/exhaust passages are
smaller than those in combustion chamber surfaces of other
structures, the resistance for intake and exhaust is reduced
effectively, so that intake and exhaust are smoother, the power of
the gasoline engine is increased effectively, fuel consumption and
emission are further reduced. It is adapted to the complex
spherical combustion chamber, the included angles between the
intake/exhaust valves and the intake/exhaust passages are smaller
than those in the combustion chamber surface of the existing
structure, so that intake is organized conveniently, the intake
efficiency is improved, intake tumbling and intake swirl inside the
cylinder are organized conveniently, current perturbation inside
the cylinder is increased, and combustion is boosted. And the
resistance for intake and exhaust is reduced, so that intake and
exhaust are smoother, the power of the gasoline engine is increased
effectively, the fuel consumption is reduced, the tail gas emission
is reduced, and the environment is protected.
[0012] Further, an intake valve is arranged on the cylinder head
main body correspondingly to the intake passage, an exhaust valve
is arranged correspondingly to the exhaust passage, the intake
valve is oblique to the intake passage side from the bottom to the
top, and the exhaust valve is oblique to the exhaust passage side
from the bottom to the top. As the valves are obliquely arranged,
the nose bridge region between the intake passage and the exhaust
passage is wider, cooling is benefited and the resistance to
deformation is improved, with the completely through air-cooling
passage II, the cooling efficiency of the nose bridge region is
greatly improved, the deformation of the cylinder head under high
temperature is reduced, and the reliability is improved.
[0013] Further, the intake valve and the exhaust valve are
respectively provided with rocker arms, rocker arm bases are
respectively arranged on the cylinder head main body
correspondingly to the corresponding rocker arms, the rocker arms
are fixedly provided with corresponding rocker arm shafts, the
rocker arm shafts are arranged on the corresponding rocker arm
bases in single freedom in a manner of capable of rotating around
respective axes, the rocker arm shafts are internally and obliquely
arranged towards the top in the radial direction with respect to
the mounting surface of the cylinder head main body, and the
oblique angle of the corresponding rocker arm shafts with respect
to the mounting surface of the cylinder head main body is
respectively and correspondingly identical to the oblique angles of
the intake valve and the exhaust valve with respect to the axis of
the cylinder head main body; and the rocker arms form a lever
structure using the corresponding rocker arm shafts as the
fulcrums. The obliquely arranged rocker arm shafts can be adapted
to the structure of the obliquely arranged gas valves and also to
the geometric shape of the complex spherical combustion chamber, to
guarantee the harmony and tightness of the driving action of the
valves by the rocker arms. The fixed rocker arms have small
bouncing and rocking amount in all directions during the operating
process, the failure rate of the rocker arms can be decreased
effectively, and the maintenance cost is reduced. The rocker arms
are disposed rationally to be adapted to the position of intake and
exhaust, to guarantee the valve timing and the gas distribution
phase, so that the performance is improved and the emission is
reduced.
[0014] Further, the rocker arm bases are of structures with
openings, the two ends of the rocker arm shafts are correspondingly
inserted into the two sides of the openings of the corresponding
rocker arm bases and the rocker arm shafts fit with the
corresponding rocker arm bases in a manner of capable of rotating
around respective axes, and the rocker arms are located inside the
openings of the corresponding rocker arm bases and fixedly arranged
on the corresponding rocker arm shafts; the outward side of the
opening structure of the rocker arm bases is a split bearing base
structure comprising a gland and a base body, and the gland and the
base body are detachably and fixedly connected with each other. The
use of the split bearing base structure is beneficial to the
mounting of the rocker arm shafts, the decrease of the friction
area, and to the increase of the motion flexibility of the rocker
arms. The structure is simple and compact, and the space is
saved.
[0015] Further, the axis of the intake valve and the axis of the
exhaust valve are respectively vertical to the tangent plane of the
intersections point of the combustion chamber surface with the axis
of the intake valve and the axis of the exhaust valve. This
structure is adapted to the intake and exhaust directions of the
combustion chamber, so that the resistance is reduced, and the
dynamic property of the gasoline engine is increased.
[0016] Further, the part of the combustion chamber surface located
between the intake valve and the exhaust valve forms a nose bridge
region, and the width of the nose bridge region is above 8mm on the
combustion chamber surface. The distance between the intake valve
and the exhaust valve is increased, the thickness of the nose
bridge region is properly increased, the capability of resisting
against heat deformation is increased, and the tightness of the
valves is improved effectively so that gas leakage of the valves
can be avoided effectively. Simultaneously, instant interference
between intake and exhaust is avoided, sufficient combustion is
guaranteed, and the power of the gasoline engine is increased.
[0017] Further, the outer circle of a seat retainer of the intake
valve and the outer circle of a seat retainer of the exhaust valve
are tangent to the edge of the bottom of the combustion chamber
surface; and the internal end of the seat retainer of the intake
valve and the internal end of the seat retainer of the exhaust
valve are matched with the shape of the combustion chamber surface.
As the internal end of the seat retainer of the intake valve and
the internal end of the seat retainer of the exhaust valve are
matched with the shape of the combustion chamber surface,
interference to intake and exhaust can be decreased, the resistance
is reduced, the dead angle and the sharp shape change are
eliminated, the sufficient combustion of the mixed gases is
guaranteed, and the efficiency of the gasoline engine is
improved.
[0018] The invention also discloses a gasoline engine having the
foregoing described air-cooling cylinder head of a gasoline engine,
wherein the air-cooling cylinder head of a gasoline engine is
mounted in the gasoline engine.
[0019] The invention has the following beneficial effects: in the
air-cooling cylinder head of a gasoline engine and the gasoline
engine, hollow air-cooling passages are respectively arranged in
the intake and exhaust directions of the air-cooling cylinder head
of a gasoline engine and also in the directions vertical to the
intake and exhaust directions, so that cooling air can flow through
the outer surface of the combustion chamber wall from different
directions, simultaneously, heat is transferred outside by the
walls of the passages by means of heat conduction, the conduction
and convection area is increased to sufficiently decrease the
temperature of the combustion chamber, so that the cylinder head
has excellent cooling efficiency, the temperature of the cylinder
is decreased, the hydrocarbon in the tail gas is reduced
effectively, and the power of the gasoline engine is increased.
Take a gasoline engine with a maximum power of 7.5 kW (revolving
speed: 3060 rpm) for example, the power can be increased to 8.1 kW,
the emission can be reduced to 6.0 g/kW.h from 8.0 g/kW.h, the
standard of 8 g/kW.h in EPA3 stage is satisfied and exceeded,
therefore it can be seen that the increase of the power and the
reduction of the emission of the gasoline engine are relatively
obvious. No piston sticking and scuffing of cylinder occurs in the
gasoline engine in the invention, at the same time that the
performance of the gasoline engine is guaranteed, the gasoline
engine also can operate stably for a long time. As air-cooing
passages are provided, the capability of the cylinder head itself
to resist against the bending moment can be improved, in
conjunction with good cooling efficiency, physical performances of
the cylinder head such as resistance to deformation are guaranteed
effectively, and the weight of the cylinder head can be properly
reduced to achieve small weight of the gasoline engine.
[0020] The cylinder head is used in a gasoline engine. When the
cylinder head is used in general-purpose power equipment driven by
gasoline engines, the flowing of air inside the air-cooling
passages can be accelerated, to be more conducive to cooling; and
when it is used in common general-purpose machinery, it is exposed
in air, and cooling is conduced through externally forcible air
convection.

However, as global structure is not beneficial to the sufficient
mixing of combustion gases, the mixing efficiency is decreased, and
combustion and emission are influenced. The use of complex
spherical structure not only further decreases the surface to
volume ratio, but also more benefits to the combustion and
reduction of emission as curve transition is beneficial to the
mixing of combustion gases, so that the power of the gasoline
engine is increased. Simultaneously, the included angles between
the intake/exhaust valves and the intake/exhaust passages are
smaller than those in combustion chamber surfaces of other
structures, the resistance for intake and exhaust is reduced
effectively, so that intake and exhaust are smoother, the power of
the gasoline engine is increased effectively, fuel consumption and
emission are further reduced.
[0034] In the embodiment, an intake valve 31 is arranged on the
cylinder head main body 1 correspondingly to the intake passage 3,
an exhaust valve 21 is arranged correspondingly to the exhaust
passage 2, the intake valve 31 is oblique to the intake passage 3
side from the bottom to the top, and the exhaust valve 21 is
oblique to the exhaust passage 2 side from the bottom to the top.
It is adapted to the complex spherical combustion chamber, the
included angles between the intake/exhaust valves and the
intake/exhaust passages are smaller than those in the combustion
chamber surface of the existing structure, so that intake is
organized conveniently, the intake efficiency is improved, intake
tumbling and intake swirl inside the cylinder are organized
conveniently, current perturbation inside the cylinder is
increased, and combustion is boosted. And the resistance for intake
and exhaust is reduced, so that intake and exhaust are smoother,
the power of the gasoline engine is increased effectively, the fuel
consumption is reduced, the tail gas emission is reduced, and the
environment is protected.
[0035] Simultaneously, as the valves are obliquely arranged, the
nose bridge region between the intake passage and the exhaust
passage is wider, cooling is benefited and the resistance to
deformation is improved, with the completely through air-cooling
passage II 7, the cooling efficiency of the nose bridge region is
greatly improved, the deformation of the cylinder head under high
temperature is reduced, and the reliability is improved.
[0036] The intake valve 31 and the exhaust valve 21 are
respectively provided with rocker arms, as shown in FIG. 5: the
rock arm of the intake valve 31 is represented by 11 and the rocker
arm of the exhaust valve 21 is represented by 13; rocker arm bases
(rocker arm base 15 and rocker arm base 12 in FIG. 5) are arranged
on the cylinder head main body 1 correspondingly to the rocker arms
(rocker arm 11 and rocker arm 13), the rocker arms (rocker arm 11
and rocker arm 13) are respectively and fixedly provided with
rocker arm shafts (rocker arm shaft 10 and rocker arm shaft 14),
the rocker arm shafts (rocker arm shaft 10 and rocker arm shaft 14)
are correspondingly arranged on the rocker arm bases (rocker arm
base 15 and rocker arm base 12) in single freedom in a manner of
capable of rotating around respective axes, the rocker arm shafts
(rocker arm shaft 10 and rocker arm shaft 14) are internally and
obliquely arranged towards the top in the radial direction with
respect to the mounting surface of the cylinder head main body 1,
and the radial direction means the radial direction of the cylinder
head; the oblique angle of the corresponding rocker arm shafts
(rocker arm shaft 10 and rocker arm shaft 14) with respect to the
mounting surface of the cylinder head main body 1 is respectively
and correspondingly identical to the oblique angles of the intake
valve 31 and the exhaust valve 21 with respect to the axis of the
cylinder head main body 1; and the rocker arms (rocker arm 11 and
rocker arm 13) form a lever structure using the corresponding
rocker arm shafts (rocker arm shaft 10 and rocker arm shaft 14) as
the fulcrums, and the rocker arms form obliquely fixed rocker arms
together with the rocker arm shafts.
[0037] The obliquely arranged rocker arm shafts can be adapted to
the structure of the obliquely arranged gas valves and also to the
geometric shape of the complex spherical combustion chamber, to
guarantee the harmony and tightness of the driving action of the
valves by the rocker arms, the fixed rocker arms have small
bouncing and rocking amount in all directions during the operating
process, the failure rate of the rocker arms can be decreased
effectively, and the maintenance cost is reduced.
[0038] The rocker arms are disposed rationally to be adapted to the
position of intake and exhaust, to guarantee the valve timing and
the gas distribution phase, so that the performance is improved and
the emission is reduced.
[0039] In the embodiment, the rocker arm bases (rocker arm base 15
and rocker arm base 12) are of structures with openings, the two
ends of the rocker arm shafts (rocker arm shaft 10 and rocker arm
shaft 14) are correspondingly inserted into the two sides of the
openings of the corresponding rocker arm bases (rocker arm base 15
and rocker arm base 12) and the rocker arm shafts fit with the
corresponding rocker arm bases in a manner of capable of rotating
around respective axes. Single freedom means that the axial degree
of freedom of the rocker arm shafts is limited, a structure in
which shoulders are arranged on the rocker arm shafts to lean
against two sides of the openings of the corresponding rocker arm
bases may be adopted, or any manner which can limit axial movement
and allow circumferential sliding in the prior art may be adopted.
The rocker arms (rocker arm 11 and rocker arm 13) are located
inside the openings of the corresponding rocker arm bases (rocker
arm base 15 and rocker arm base 12) and fixedly arranged on the
corresponding rocker arm shafts (rocker arm shaft 10 and rocker arm
shaft 14); the outward side of the opening structure of the rocker
arm base 15 (and rocker arm base 12) is a split bearing base
structure. As shown in FIG. 6, the outward side of the opening
structure of the rocker arm base 15 comprises a gland 151a and a
base body 151, and the gland 151a and the base body 151 are
detachably and fixedly connected with each other, they are
connected through bolts in the embodiment. Bearings bush 101 also
can be arranged to reduce friction, the inward side of the opening
structure of the rocker arm base 15 (and rocker arm base 12) is
also provided with bearing bushes correspondingly. The outward side
of the opening structure of the rocker arm base 12 is the same as
the outward side of the opening structure of the rocker arm base
15. The use of the split bearing base structure is beneficial to
the mounting of the rocker arm shafts, the decrease of the friction
area and to the increase of the motion flexibility of the rocker
arms; and, the structure is simple and compact, and the space is
saved.
