Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cylinder crankcase of a liquid-cooled reciprocating internal combustion engine with V-shaped cylinders which are surrounded by cooling channels.
  • Cylinder crankcases of the generic type are complex structures in terms of casting technology, the cooling passages to be formed causing considerable manufacturing outlay. Constructions are therefore sought which enable casting with reusable cores (slides etc.) to the greatest possible extent in order to reduce the manufacturing costs.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cylinder crankcase which is improved in terms of cooling and which, in terms of casting technology and in terms of parts, requires little additional effort, and which, if appropriate, also makes it possible to drain the cooling medium cheaply and easily.
  • the cooling channels surrounding the cylinders to one another at the end face via at least one channel-shaped open transverse channel.
  • the transverse channel can thus be formed in a simple manner by the molding tool, which determines the remaining outer contour of the relevant end face of the cylinder crankcase.
  • the cross channel open towards the front is then closed by means of a cover.
  • a transverse connection can thus be created in a particularly simple manner in terms of production technology and casting technology via this transverse channel, which improves the cooling of the cylinder crankcase as a whole.
  • the transverse channel can be closed particularly advantageously by means of a cover which at the same time carries the shaft sealing ring for sealing the crankshaft. Since such a cover is already present in many cylinder crankcases, this cover can be produced with little additional effort. This does not increase the number of parts of the internal combustion engine.
  • the drainage channel can be provided only in the cover, and if a flat seal is used, this is provided with openings in the region of the drainage channel.
  • the transverse channel can be designed particularly advantageously in accordance with the features of claim 6 L-shaped with a branching channel section, this channel section being guided downward (in the sense of the installation position of the internal combustion engine) and provided with a drain plug.
  • This makes it possible to remove the drain plug at a generally easily accessible location from below the internal combustion engine and, for example, to drain the coolant accordingly during a repair.
  • a shaft surrounding the drain plug is provided in the components adjoining the cylinder crankcase at its lower region, for example a reinforcing part containing the crankshaft bearing bridges and / or an oil pan. The drain plug can then be screwed in or out via this shaft without any disassembly of these components.
  • FIG. 1 shows the cylinder crankcase 10 of a six-cylinder reciprocating piston internal combustion engine in a V-shaped cylinder arrangement with a cylinder row 12 on the left in the drawing plane, a right cylinder row 14 and a crankcase 16 connecting the two cylinder rows.
  • bearing seats 17 molded, which serve for the rotatable mounting of a crankshaft, not shown.
  • a channel-shaped open transverse channel 20 is formed, which intersects a cooling channel 22 of the left row of cylinders 12 and a cooling channel 24 of the right row of cylinders 14.
  • a connection between the transverse channel 20 and the cooling channels of the left and right cylinder rows 12, 14 could, however, also be established by means of corresponding bores extending from the transverse channel 20.
  • the transverse channel 20 is L-shaped with an approximately vertically downward channel section 26, the section 26 being delimited by a lower wall 28.
  • the wall 28 forms a connection surface 30 for components connected to the crankcase 16, namely a reinforcing part 32 (only partially shown in dashed lines) supporting the bearing brackets for mounting the crankshaft and an oil pan (not shown) connecting to the reinforcing part 32.
  • a downward-pointing threaded bore 34 is provided, into which a drain plug 36 is screwed tight.
  • a downwardly open shaft 38 is formed in the reinforcing part 32, through which the tool for screwing in or unscrewing the drain screw 36 can be inserted.
  • the shaft 38 is continued in the oil pan adjoining the reinforcing part 32.
  • a sealing surface 56 with threaded bores 40 is incorporated in the end face 18, which serves to fasten a cover 42 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) using screws, not shown.
  • the cover 42 (cf. FIG. 3) has a sealing surface 44 which runs around the transverse channel 20 and corresponds to the sealing surface 56 and in which holes 46 for the fastening screws (not shown) are machined in accordance with the hole pattern of the threaded holes. Furthermore, a central bore 48 is provided in the cover 42, into which a shaft sealing ring 51 (cf. also FIG. 2) is inserted for sealing the crankshaft. In the circumferential area between the central bore 48 and the transverse channel 20 with the channel section 26, a drainage channel 50 is worked into the sealing surface 44 in the form of an open channel, which runs along the radially inner bores 46 at 52 and at 54 to the atmosphere. The course of the drainage channel 50 is shown again in dashed lines in FIG. 1, its outlets at 52 and 54 having a free outlet into the end face 18 or to the atmosphere.
  • a flat seal 58 (FIG. 4) made of a suitable sealing material is provided between the end face 18 or the sealing surfaces 56 delimiting the transverse channel 20 and the cover 42 or its sealing surfaces 44, which is provided with openings 60 in the area of overlap with the drainage channel 50.
  • the openings 60 ensure that regardless of the sealing surface 44 or 56 at which a leakage occurs, the leakage medium is introduced into the drainage channel 50 and removed accordingly.
  • Fig. 1 shows the installation position of the cylinder crankcase as an internal combustion engine in the motor vehicle.
  • the advantage here is that the transverse channel 22 is geodetically below a dash-dotted plane 62, because this ensures when draining the cooling medium via the channel section 26 and after removing the drain plug 36 that no cooling medium from above into the cylinder heads when dismantling Cylinder runs in or emerges from the internal combustion engine in an uncontrolled manner via the cylinder head-cylinder sealing surfaces.
  • the L-shaped transverse channel 20 with channel section 26 is designed as an open channel which can be formed from the end face 18 of the cylinder crankcase 10 during casting. It is only necessary to design the shaping tool determining the contour of the end face 18 accordingly. A sand core, which must then be removed separately, is not required.
