(3) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In general, in the cylinder block of a water-cooled internal combustion engine, the water jacket, which mainly cools the surrounding area of the cylinder, has its upper end on the upper surface of the cylinder block, that is, on the deck surface. Two types are known: an open deck type in which almost the entire surface is open, and a closed deck type in which a flow channel to the cylinder head is opened on the deck surface and the rest is closed.

By the way, the closed deck type cylinder block has its rigidity, especially the mounting surface to the cylinder head,
In other words, the deck surface is highly rigid, and the gasket between the cylinder block and cylinder head can be made durable, making it suitable for use in high-output multi-cylinder engines for vehicles, but there are technical issues when casting it. In many cases, especially when the closed cylinder block of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine for a vehicle is made of light alloy such as aluminum alloy, it is difficult to cast it, and even if it is possible, it is extremely costly. Conventionally, the majority of cylinder blocks for multi-cylinder engines made of light alloy have been of the open deck type, which is relatively easy to cast. In this case, the cylinder block can be cast using the conventional die-casting method, which has the advantage of being mass-produced and does not increase costs. Therefore, there are limits to the shape, depth, etc. of the jacket, making it impossible to obtain a desired water jacket, which affects the cooling performance of the cylinder block and becomes a negative factor in improving output.

The present invention relates to a closed deck type cylinder block that can be cast by such a new pressure casting method, and the water jacket formed therein can be formed into a desired shape to form the water jacket. The flowing cooling water effectively cools the cylinder block and flows smoothly to the cylinder head with little resistance, making it easy to remove the sand core after the water jacket has been molded, resulting in a cylinder with excellent castability. The purpose is to provide blocks.

In addition, each cylinder bore 3 is provided in the cylinder portion 1, except for the adjacent boundary wall 5 between adjacent cylinder bores 3.
A water jacket 6 is formed to surround the. This water jacket 6 is formed long over substantially the entire length of the cylinder bore, and furthermore, both lower end portions 6u and 6d are formed to be larger than the middle portion 6m. The lower end portion 6d is a larger enlarged portion than the upper end portion 6u. Therefore, the sizes of the cross-sectional areas A 1 , A 2 and A 3 of the upper end 6u, middle portion 6m and lower end 6d of the water jacket 6 are A 2 <A 1 <A 3 . In order to make the cylinder block B a closed deck type, an upper wall 7 of a predetermined wall thickness is formed on the water jacket 6 of the cylinder block B, and the upper surface of this upper wall 7 is to be connected to the cylinder head H. Deck surface 8
is formed. The upper wall 7 has a large number of flow channels 9.
The water jacket 6 is opened to the deck surface 8 through this flow channel 9, and the gasket G is opened to the deck surface 8.
When the cylinder head H is joined via the water jacket 6, the water jacket 6 is communicated with the water jacket on the cylinder head H side through the flow channel 9. Therefore, the upper end 6 of the water jacket 6
By forming u to be enormous, the capacity of the cooling water stored there increases and the opening area of the flow channel 9 can be increased, allowing water to flow from the water jacket 6 on the cylinder block B side to the cylinder head H side. The amount of cooling water flowing through the jacket (not shown) can be increased, and the flow resistance of the cooling water flowing therethrough can be reduced.

The hole 15 is opened, and the sand core after casting is taken out to the outside through the sand removal hole 15. In this case, the lower end 6d of the water jacket 6 is formed to have a large size, thereby increasing the capacity of the sand removal section. After casting, the sand removal hole 15 is closed with a blind plug 16.

C. Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, in a closed deck type light alloy cylinder block, a water jacket surrounding the outer periphery of a cylinder bore formed in the cylinder portion is attached to the cylinder bore. Sand is formed over almost the entire length of the water jacket, has both upper and lower ends along the axial direction of the cylinder bore of the water jacket larger than the middle part, and is further closed with a blind plug at the lower end of the water jacket. Since the vent hole is opened, the water cooling performance of the cylinder block itself is good, and the flow rate of cooling water per unit time between the water jacket on the cylinder block side and the water jacket on the cylinder head side is increased, and the flow rate between them is increased. Flow resistance can be reduced, and the water cooling performance of the entire engine can be significantly improved as a whole.
Further, when casting the cylinder block, it is possible to improve the workability of removing the sand core formed by the water jacket on the cylinder block side, thereby improving the efficiency of casting the cylinder block.
