Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ventilsitzringkühlung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a valve seat ring cooling system according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist bekannt, Ventilsitze, insbesondere die thermisch hochbelasteten Ventilsitzringe von Auslaßventilen einer Brennkraftmaschine zu kühlen. Aus der DE-PS 34 12 052 ist eine Ventilsitzringkühlung bekannt, bei der als Kühlmedium das der Brennkraftmaschinenkühlung dienende Kühlwasser verwendet wird. Dabei strömt das Kühlwasser radial in die Kühlkanäle der Ventilsitzringe ein und durch eine dem Eintritt gegenüberliegende Öffnung ab. Die Abflußöffnungen münden in einen Kanal, der direkt in die Saugseite der Kühlwasserpumpe führt, die die Brennkraftmaschine mit Kühlwasser versorgt.
Diese Anordnung ist nicht anwendbar, wenn die Brennkraftmaschine luftgekühlt ist.It is known to cool valve seats, in particular the thermally highly loaded valve seat rings of exhaust valves of an internal combustion engine. From DE-PS 34 12 052 a valve seat ring cooling is known in which the cooling water used for cooling the internal combustion engine is used as the cooling medium. The cooling water flows radially into the cooling channels of the valve seat rings and out through an opening opposite the inlet. The drain openings open into a channel that leads directly into the suction side of the cooling water pump, which supplies the internal combustion engine with cooling water.
This arrangement is not applicable when the internal combustion engine is air-cooled.

Die Ventilsitzringe einer flüssigkeitsgekühlten Brennkraftmaschine unabhängig vom Hauptkühlkreislauf durch ein anderes Kühlmittel, beispielsweise Schmieröl, in einem eigenen Kühlkreislauf zu kühlen, ist bekannt aus DE-0S 15 76 727. Bei dieser Ausführung strömt das Kühlmittel zunächst zu den Auslaßventilsitzringen und von dort zu den Sitzringen der Einlaßventile.
Eine gleichmäßige Umströmung der Sitzringe ist aufgrund der Leitungsführung nicht gewährleistet. Zudem ist bei Verwendung von Schmieröl zur Ventilsitzringkühlung in dieser Erfindung ein separater Kühlmittelkreislauf mit einer eigenen Pumpe erforderlich.Cooling the valve seat rings of a liquid-cooled internal combustion engine independently of the main cooling circuit by another coolant, for example lubricating oil, in a separate cooling circuit is known from DE-0S 15 76 727. In this embodiment, the coolant first flows to the exhaust valve seat rings and from there to the seat rings of the Inlet valves.
A uniform flow around the seat rings is not guaranteed due to the piping. In addition, when using lubricating oil for valve seat ring cooling in this invention, a separate coolant circuit with its own pump is required.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Kühlvorrichtung für Ventilsitzringe einer luftgekühlten Brennkraftmaschine zu schaffen, die an einen vorhandenen Schmierölkreislauf angeschlossen ist und durch die eine optimale und gleichmäßige Kühlung aller Ventilsitzringe erzielt wird.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a cooling device for valve seat rings of an air-cooled internal combustion engine, which is connected to an existing lubricating oil circuit and through which an optimal and uniform cooling of all valve seat rings is achieved.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, die Erfindung vorteilhaft ausgestaltende Merkmale sind in den Unteransprüchen benannt.
Die bei Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre erzielbaren Vorteile sind insbesondere darin zu sehen, daß durch die Art der Zu- und Abführung des Kühlmittels der gesamte, jedem Ventilsitzring zugeführte Kühlmittelstrom den Ventilsitzring umströmt und daß der Ventilsitzring durch den eng benachbarten Kühlmittelzu- und ablauf fast vollständig umströmt wird, was für einen maximalen Wärmeübergang und eine gleichmäßige Kühlung von entscheidender Bedeutung ist. Weiterhin wird vorteilhafter Weise für die Zuund Abfuhr des Kühlmittels ein vorhandener Kreislauf genutzt, dessen in ihm zirkulierendes Schmieröl als Kühlmittel benutzt wird. Das von den Ventilsitzringen zurückgeführte Schmieröl strömt nicht ungenutzt in den Ölsumpf, sondern wird auf die Nocken der Nockenwelle verspritzt. Dadurch sinkt der Verschleiß in der Reibpaarung Nocken/Ventil und die Lebensdauer beider Teile wird erhöht.
In einer ersten Ausführung der Erfindung sind die Zu- und Abführleitungen als Bohrungen senkrecht zur Trennfläche zwischen Zylinderkopf und Nockenwellengehäuse leicht herstellbar.
Die in den Unteransprüchen benannte zweite Ausführung der Erfindung erfordert keine Bohrbearbeitung im Zylinderkopf für die Zu- und Abführleitungen, da sie einteilig mit einem Teil eines Kühlrings ausgeführt sind, so daß diese mit in den Zylinderkopf eingegossen werden. Der den Ventilsitzring umgebende Kühlring ist aus zwei Kühlringteilen aufgebaut, die miteinander verschweißt werden. Somit ist sichergestellt, daß der im Kühlring verlaufende Ringkanal öldicht abgeschlossen ist. Dieses ist von besonderem Vorteil, da keinerlei Öl in den Brennraum bzw. den Auslaßkanal gelangen kann. Weiterhin tritt kein Lecköl aus, wenn der Ventilsitzring ausgewechselt oder nachgearbeitet werden muß. Der Ventilsitzring kann leicht ausgewechselt werden und eine freie Werkstoffwahl für den Ventilsitzring unabhängig vom Kühlring ist möglich.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Further features which advantageously design the invention are specified in the subclaims.
The advantages that can be achieved when applying the teaching according to the invention are to be seen in particular in that the type of supply and discharge of the coolant flows around the entire coolant flow supplied to each valve seat ring and that the valve seat ring flows almost completely through the closely adjacent coolant inlet and outlet becomes what is crucial for maximum heat transfer and uniform cooling. Furthermore, an existing circuit is advantageously used for the supply and discharge of the coolant, the lubricating oil circulating in it is used as the coolant. The lubricating oil returned from the valve seat rings does not flow unused into the oil sump, but is sprayed onto the cams of the camshaft. This reduces wear in the cam / valve friction pair and increases the service life of both parts.
In a first embodiment of the invention, the feed and discharge lines can be easily produced as bores perpendicular to the separating surface between the cylinder head and the camshaft housing.
The second embodiment of the invention specified in the subclaims does not require drilling in the cylinder head for the supply and discharge lines, since they are made in one piece with a part of a cooling ring, so that they are cast into the cylinder head. The cooling ring surrounding the valve seat ring is constructed from two cooling ring parts which are welded together. This ensures that the ring channel running in the cooling ring is oil-tight. This is particularly advantageous since no oil can get into the combustion chamber or the exhaust duct. Furthermore, there is no leakage oil if the valve seat ring has to be replaced or reworked. The valve seat ring can be easily replaced and a free choice of materials for the valve seat ring is possible regardless of the cooling ring.

In beiden Ausführungen der Erfindung ist die Oberfläche des Ringkanales durch mindestens zwei umlaufende Vorsprünge vergrößert, so daß ein optimaler Wärmeübergang stattfindet.In both embodiments of the invention, the surface of the ring channel is enlarged by at least two circumferential projections, so that an optimal heat transfer takes place.

Die nachfolgend aufgeführten Figuren erläutern die Erfindung näher.The figures listed below explain the invention in more detail.

Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine erste Ausführung der Erfindung in einem Zylinderkopf angeordnet im Schnitt,
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt aus Fig. 1 entlang der Linie II-II,
  • Fig. 3 ein Detail aus Fig. 1 in einer Draufsicht,
  • Fig. 4 eine zweite Ausführung der Erfindung in einem Zylinderkopf angeordnet im Schnitt,
  • Fig. 5 eine Einzelheit X aus Fig. 4.
It shows:
  • 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention in a cylinder head arranged in section,
  • 2 shows a section from FIG. 1 along the line II-II,
  • 3 shows a detail from FIG. 1 in a top view,
  • 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention arranged in a cylinder head in section,
  • 5 shows a detail X from FIG. 4.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Zylinderkopf 1 mit einem darauf montierten Nockenwellengehäuse 2 einer im Viertakt-Verfahren arbeitenden Brennkraftmaschine. Zur Steuerung des Gaswechsels in einem Brennraum 3 weist der Zylinderkopf 1 u.a. mindestens einen Auslaßkanal 4 auf, dem ein nicht gezeichnetes Ventil zugeordnet ist. In jedem Auslaßkanal 4 ist ein Ventilsitzring 5 angeordnet, der von einem Ringkanal 6 umgeben ist. In diesem zirkuliert als Kühlmedium das zur Brennkraftmaschinenschmierung dienende Schmieröl. Hierzu ist der Ringkanal 6 mit einer Zufuhrleitung 7 und einer Abführleitung 8 versehen, die in zwei dicht zusammenliegenden Öffnungen 9, 10 in den Ringkanal 6 münden.
Im Nockenwellengehäuse 2 verläuft parallel zu mindestens einer Nockenwelle 11 ein Ölkanal 12, der die Nockenwellenlager mit Schmieröl versorgt. Durch zwei im Nockenwellengehäuse 2 quer zum Ölkanal 12 verlaufende Bohrungen 13, 14 und eine sich an die Bohrung 14 anschließende Bohrung 15 im Zylinderkopf 1 wird die Zufuhrleitung 7 gebildet.
Das mit Druck von einer Ölpumpe durch den Schmierölkreislauf der Brennkraftmaschine geförderte Öl strömt durch den Ölkanal 12 und von dort u.a. durch die Zufuhrleitung 7 in den Ringkanal 6. Durch einen in beiden Ausführungen der Erfindung in den Ringkanal 6 ragenden Vorsprung 16 wird die Öffnung 9 nahezu vollstandig von der Öffnung 10 getrennt. Somit strömt nur ein sehr geringer Teil der Ölmenge durch einen Kurzschluß direkt von der Öffnung 9 zur Öffnung 10. Um einen optimalen Wärmeübergang zwischen dem durch die Abgase der Brennkraftmaschine stark erhitzten Ventilsitzring 5, 5′ und dem Öl zu erzielen, ist die Außenfläche 17 des Ventilsitzrings 5 und die Außenfläche 30 des inneren Kühlringteils 23 mit mindestens zwei umlaufenden Vorsprüngen 18 versehen.Fig. 1 shows a cylinder head 1 with a camshaft housing 2 mounted thereon of an internal combustion engine operating in the four-stroke process. To control the gas exchange in a combustion chamber 3 , the cylinder head 1 has, inter alia, at least one exhaust port 4 , to which an unillustrated valve is assigned. A valve seat ring 5 , which is surrounded by an annular channel 6 , is arranged in each outlet channel 4 . The lubricating oil used to lubricate the internal combustion engine circulates as the cooling medium. For this purpose, the ring channel 6 is provided with a feed line 7 and a discharge line 8 , which open into the ring channel 6 in two closely spaced openings 9 , 10 .
In the camshaft housing 2 , an oil channel 12 runs parallel to at least one camshaft 11 and supplies the camshaft bearings with lubricating oil. The feed line 7 is formed by two bores 13 , 14 in the camshaft housing 2 which extend transversely to the oil channel 12 and a bore 15 in the cylinder head 1 which adjoins the bore 14 .
The oil pumped with pressure from an oil pump through the lubricating oil circuit of the internal combustion engine flows through the oil channel 12 and from there, inter alia, through the supply line 7 into the ring channel 6 . The opening 9 is almost completely separated from the opening 10 by a projection 16 projecting into the annular channel 6 in both embodiments of the invention. Thus, only a very small part of the oil quantity flows directly from opening 9 to opening 10 through a short circuit. In order to achieve optimum heat transfer between the valve seat ring 5, 5 ' , which is strongly heated by the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine , and the oil, the outer surface 17 of the valve seat ring 5 and the outer surface 30 of the inner cooling ring part 23 are provided with at least two circumferential projections 18 .

Nachdem das Öl den Ventilsitzring 5 fast vollstandig umströmt hat, tritt es durch die Öffnung 10 in die Abführleitung 8. Diese wird durch eine Bohrung 19 gebildet, die senkrecht zur Trennfläche zwischen Zylinderkopf 1 und Nockenwellengehäuse 2 verläuft und vom Ringkanal 5 auf die Nockenwelle 11 weist.
Aus Fig. 3 ist ersichtlich, daß die Abführleitung 8 im Nockenwellengehäuse 2 an einen quaderförmigen Sammelraum 20 angeschlossen ist, der mindestens zwei Austrittsöffnungen 21 aufweist. Der Abstand der Austrittsöffnungen 21 zueinander ist so gewählt, daß das aus dem Sammelraum 20 austretende Öl direkt auf die Nocken 22 der Nockenwelle 11 verspritzt wird. Dadurch wird der Verschleiß zwischen Nocken 22 und den Ventilen herabgesetzt und ihre Lebensdauer erhöht.
Fig. 4 zeigt eine zweite Ausführung der Erfindung. Hierbei hat das Öl keinen unmittelbaren Kontakt mit dem Ventilsitzring 5′, sondern strömt in einem Ringkanal 6, der innerhalb eines Kühlringes 25 verläuft. Der Kühlring 25 besteht aus einem inneren Kühlringteil 23 und einem äußeren Kühlringteil 24. Der Ventilsitzring 5′ weist eine L-förmige Querschnittsfläche auf und ist in den Kühlring 25 eingepreßt. Dabei steht ein Schenkel 26 des Ventilsitzringes 5′ in Flächenkontakt mit der Innenfläche 27 des inneren Kühlringteils 23 und gewährleistet so einen guten Wärmeübergang vom Ventilsitzring 5′ auf den Kühlring 25. Ein weiterer Schenkel 28 liegt an der dem Brennraum 3 zugewandten Stirnfläche 29 des inneren Kühlringteils 23 an und definiert so die gewünschte Einpreßtiefe des Ventilsitzringes 5′ in den Kühlring 25. Weiterhin ist so das Verschieben des Ventilsitzringes in den Auslaßkanal 4 durch das schließende Auslaßventil verhindert.
Der innerhalb des Zylinderkopfes 1 verlaufende Teil der Zufuhrleitung 7 sowie die Abführleitung 8 sind einteilig mit dem äußeren Kühlringteil 24 ausgeführt. Nach dem Verschweißen von innerem und äußerem Kühlringteil 23, 24 zum Kühlring 25 wird dieser in den Zylinderkopf 1 eingegossen. Die Bohrbearbeitung für Kühlmittelzu- und -abfuhr im Zylinderkopf 1 entfällt somit. Die Kühlmittelzufuhr innerhalb des Nockenwellengehäuses 2 und die Verwendung des abgeführten Kühlmittels als Schmiermittel zwischen Nocken 22 und Ventilen ist in gleicher Weise ausgeführt wie bei der ersten Ausführung der Erfindung.After the oil has almost completely flowed around the valve seat ring 5 , it passes through the opening 10 into the discharge line 8 . This is formed by a bore 19 which runs perpendicular to the separating surface between the cylinder head 1 and the camshaft housing 2 and points from the annular channel 5 to the camshaft 11 .
From Fig. 3 it can be seen that the discharge line 8 in the camshaft housing 2 is connected to a cuboid collecting space 20 which has at least two outlet openings 21 . The distance between the outlet openings 21 is selected so that the oil emerging from the collecting space 20 is sprayed directly onto the cams 22 of the camshaft 11 . This reduces the wear between cam 22 and the valves and increases their service life.
Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention. Here, the oil has no direct contact with the valve seat ring 5 ' , but flows in an annular channel 6 which extends within a cooling ring 25 . The cooling ring 25 consists of an inner cooling ring part 23 and an outer cooling ring part 24 . The valve seat ring 5 ' has an L-shaped cross-sectional area and is pressed into the cooling ring 25 . Here, one leg 26 of the valve seat ring 5 'is in surface contact with the inner surface 27 of the inner cooling ring part 23 and thus ensures good heat transfer from the valve seat ring 5' to the cooling ring 25 . Another leg 28 bears against the end face 29 of the inner cooling ring part 23 facing the combustion chamber 3 and thus defines the desired pressing depth of the valve seat ring 5 ' into the cooling ring 25 . Furthermore, the displacement of the valve seat ring into the outlet channel 4 is prevented by the closing outlet valve.
The part of the supply line 7 running inside the cylinder head 1 and the discharge line 8 are made in one piece with the outer cooling ring part 24 . After welding the inner and outer cooling ring part 23, 24 to the cooling ring 25 , this is poured into the cylinder head 1 . Drilling for coolant supply and removal in the cylinder head 1 is thus eliminated. The coolant supply within the camshaft housing 2 and the use of the discharged coolant as a lubricant between the cams 22 and valves is carried out in the same way as in the first embodiment of the invention.
