Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shroud with an opening for the intake of cooling air in an air-cooled type internal combustion engine, which shroud is superior in noise insulating performance.
  • a louver comprising fins which are arranged in parallel vertically at predetermined intervals and which are inclined from above to below in the outside direction from the inside, is provided in the cooling air intake opening of the shroud, as illustrated in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 32903/88, in order to attain noise insulation and prevent outside rain water from entering the shroud.
  • an inner louver is mounted integrally with the shroud, and outside the inner louver there is detachably mounted a separate, outer louver having fins arranged on an extension plane of the inner louver fins, for enlarging the fin width at low cost.
  • a separate, outer louver having fins arranged on an extension plane of the inner louver fins, for enlarging the fin width at low cost.
  • the present invention concerns an improvement in the structure of a shroud opening for the intake of cooling air in an air-cooled type internal combustion engine, which is free of the above-mentioned inconvenience.
  • an air-cooled type internal combustion engine wherein a heat radiating portion of the engine is covered with a shroud and, by rotation of a cooling fan, cooling air is introduced into the shroud through a cooling air intake opening formed in the shroud to cool the heat radiating portion
  • the present invention is characterized in that an outer louver and an inner louver are formed each in an inclined state in the cooling air intake opening in such a manner that the direction of inclination of the outer louver and that of the inner louver are different from each other.
  • the direction of inclination of the outer louver and that of the inner louver are made different from each other, most of the acoustic waves of noise generated from the internal combustion engine and that from the cooling fan are intercepted by the inner louver, and the acoustic waves of noise which have passed between the fins of the inner louver are intercepted by the outer louver which is inclined in a different direction from the inner louver, thus resulting in that there is obtained a satisfactory noise insulating effect.
  • a swing type power unit 2 mounted on a scooter type two-wheeled motor vehicle 1 comprises an air-cooled type internal combustion engine 3 standing up in a slightly obliquely downwardly inclined state and a V belt type stepless (infinitely variable) speed change mechanism 4 extending backward from one lower side of the engine 3, the engine 3 and the speed change mechanism 4 being integrally coupled together.
  • a rear wheel 5 is integrally fitted on an output shaft (not shown) of the V belt type stepless speed change mechanism 4, and a hanger portion 6 positioned in the front portion of the swing type power unit 2 is attached vertically swingably to a bracket 8 which is projecting backward from a body 7 of the scooter type two-wheeled motor vehicle 1.
  • a crank shaft 10 is supported rotatably within a crank case 9 of the engine 3, and a driving variable pulley 11 of the stepless speed change mechanism 4 is mounted on the leftmost end of the crank shaft 10.
  • a V belt 13 is entrained around the driving variable pulley 11 and a driven variable pulley (not shown) is journaled in the rear portion of a transmission case 12.
  • a cylinder 14 located above the crank case 9 and a cylinder head 15 above the cylinder are formed with a large number of radiation fins 16 at predetermined intervals.
  • a rotor 18 of a generator 17 is integrally fitted on the rightmost end of the crank shaft 10, and a centrifugal type cooling fan 19 is integrally mounted to the rotor 18.
  • the air-cooled type internal combustion engine 3 and the cooling fan 19 are covered with a shroud 20 made (for example) of a synthetic resin.
  • the shroud 20 comprises a cylinder-side shroud 21 which covers the cooling fan 19 and the cylinder 14 of the engine 3, a head-side shroud 22 which covers the cylinder head 15, and a shroud outer plate 23 which covers the outside of the cylinder-side shroud 21.
  • the cylinder-side shroud 21 and the head-side shroud 22 are mounted to the crank case 9, cylinder 14, etc. removably, with mounting bolts 24.
  • a cylindrical opening 25 which is concentric with the cooling fan 19, and an inner louver 26 is formed in the cylindrical opening 25.
  • the inner louver 26 comprises wide fins 27 inclined from the rear to the front in the outside direction from the inside and arranged longitudinally at wide intervals.
  • a cylindrical side opening 28 projecting outwards in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical opening 25 of the cylinder-side shroud 21.
  • an outer louver 29 is formed in the cylindrical opening 28.
  • the outer louver 29 comprises relatively narrow fins 30 inclined from above to below in the outside direction from the inside and arranged vertically at narrow intervals.
  • the cylinder-side shroud 21 is formed with side mounting seats 31 projecting outwards.
  • the mounting seats 31 are formed one in an upper position and two in lower positions.
  • the shroud outer plate 23 is also formed with inwardly projecting mounting seats 32 in positions corresponding to the positions of the mounting seats 31.
  • a noise absorbing material 33 such as polyurethane sponge is interposed between the cylinder-side shroud 21 and the shroud outer plate 23 and throughout the whole side face with the exclusion of the cylindrical openings 25 and 28. Rivets 34 are fitted in the mounting seats 31 and 32 to couple the cylinder-side shroud 21 and the shroud outer plate 23 integrally with each other.
  • cooling air is introduced into the shroud 20 from the cylindrical opening 28 of the shroud outer plate 23 through the cylindrical opening 25 of the cylinder-shroud 21. During this period, the cooling air flows to the cylinder head 15 side while in contact with the radiation fins 16 and is thereafter discharged into the atmosphere from a cooling air discharge port 35 formed in a left-hand rear position of the head-side shroud 22.
  • the illustrated embodiment is constructed as above, when the air-cooled type internal combustion engine 3 starts operating and the cooling fan 19 is rotated, the outside air present on the right-hand side of the swing type power unit 2 is introduced into the cooling air passage 38 in the shroud 20 from the cylindrical opening 28 of the shroud outer plate 23 through the cylindrical opening 25 of the cylinder-side shroud 21, then while being heated by contact with the radiation fins 16 of the cylinder 14 and cylinder head 15, it is discharged to the outside of the shroud 20 through the cooling air discharge port 35.
  • the fins 27 of the inner louver 26 and the fins 30 of the outer louver 29 are inclined in directions different from each other, the acoustic waves of noise which have passed between the fins 27 of the inner louver are changed in their travelling direction by the fins 30 of the outer louver 29, so that the noise insulating effect is improved and the level of the noise generated from the engine 3 and the cooling fan 19 can be further reduced.
  • the fins 30 of the outer louver 29 are inclined from above to below in the outside direction from the inside, rain water descending from above is allowed to drop to the exterior of the vehicle from the lower edges of the fins 30 and thus it is possible to prevent the entry of rain water into the cooling air passage 38.
  • the fins 27 of the inner louver 26 are inclined from the rear to the front in the outside direction from the inside, the wind which has flowed from the front toward the rear on the right-hand side of the swing type power unit 2 and passed between the fins 30 of the outer louver 29 can be introduced positively into the cooling air passage 38.
