Abstract

PURPOSE:To satisfactorily perform thermal conduction by means of metal sodium by sealing the metal sodium and gas inactive therewith in a hollow part which lies over a portion from a valve head to a valve stem, and thereby preventing the metal sodium from reacting with the gas. CONSTITUTION:A sodium cooled valve 1 adopted to intake/discharge valves of an internal combustion engine is provided with a valve head 2, a valve stem 3 and a hollow part 4 on a central axis extending from the valve head 2 to the portion around the tip of the valve stem 3. In the hollow part 4, metal sodium 5 as thermal conductive medium substantially occupying the two thirds of the volume thereof and gas 6 occupying the balance of volume and hard to react with the metal sodium 5 at a temperature suitable for operating the valve are sealed. It is therefore possible to prevent the metal sodium 5 from reacting with the gas 6, thereby to rapidly conduct the heat of the valve head 2 to the valve stem 3.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sodium cooling valve used as an intake and exhaust valve for an internal combustion engine.

Conventional sodium cooling valves of this type have a hollow part,
As a heat transfer medium, there is one in which metallic sodium is sealed in a volume smaller than the volume of the hollow part, and the remainder of the hollow part is filled with air.

In this way, the reason why not only metal sodium but also air is sealed in the hollow part is to take advantage of the vibrations when the valve is operated.
This is to dynamically scatter metallic sodium within the hollow part and speed up heat transfer from the valve head to the valve stem.

In the conventional sodium cooling valve described above, the hollow part other than the metallic sodium is filled with air, so the oxygen and moisture contained in the air react with the metallic sodium, producing sodium oxide and water. Sodium oxide, sodium hydride, etc. may be generated.

As a result, these generated substances impede the flow of the enclosed metallic sodium during valve operation, inhibiting the rapid transfer of heat from the valve head to the valve stem, and causing abnormal internal pressure in the hollow part. There is a risk that the thin part of the valve will rupture and metallic sodium will spew out from there.

According to the cooling valve of the present invention having the above configuration, when the cooling valve is operated, the metal sodium (5) and the gas (6) in the hollow part (4) do not react within the valve operating temperature range, and compared to the conventional cooling valve. No harmful substances are produced.

Therefore, the flow of metallic sodium (5) is not hindered by harmful substances, and due to vibrations during valve operation, the metal sodium (5) freely pulsates and scatters within the hollow part (4), and the valve head (2)
heat is quickly transferred to the valve stem portion (3).
