That is, this is a method in which a mold is inserted and fixed in a portion of the cylinder head that is molded by casting and serves as an intake port, and the space between the inner surface of this portion and the outer surface of the mold is filled with resin. When this method is adopted, it is important to secure a sealing surface so that the resin does not leak outside the above space. However, since the cylinder head itself is a casting, the dimensional accuracy is rough, and it is difficult to secure a sealing surface. On the other hand, it is possible to machine the inner surface of the part that will be the intake port to secure the sealing surface, but inserting a tool into the narrow space on the combustion chamber side to machine the machining time and accuracy. However, it is difficult to consider the processing cost.

Therefore, it is possible to avoid both the increase in intake resistance due to the resin flowing out from the heat insulating member and the increase in intake resistance due to a part of the tip of the heat insulating member rising in the intake port. It can contribute to improvement. Further, since the temperature rise of the intake air can be suppressed by the heat insulating member, the reduction of the intake air amount and the occurrence of knocking can be suppressed, and the engine performance can be improved.

When the seal member 21 is made of resin, it is integrated with the molten resin, so that the intake resistance can be reduced.
- the seal member 21 and the heat insulating member 20 By using different materials for the seal member 21 and the heat insulating member 20 as in the above-described embodiment, it is possible to select materials suitable for their respective roles. For example, when the sealing member 21 is made of an elastic body, a high sealing effect can be exhibited and the positioning accuracy of the sealing member 21 can be further improved. Further, by selecting a material having a high heat insulating effect for the heat insulating member 20, it is possible to arrange the heat insulating member 20 having a high heat insulating effect while preventing leakage of the molten resin by the sealing member 21.

Since the cross section of the branch point 15 is close to a circular shape, a load can be applied substantially evenly when the mold 30 is inserted and the seal member 21 is crushed, and the crush amount of the seal member 21 can be made uniform. As a result, the effect of preventing leakage of the molten resin can be enhanced, so that an increase in intake resistance due to the heat insulating member 20 can be suppressed.
- the two annular portions 21a are connected to each other. That is, since the two annular portions 21a can be provided only by fitting one sealing member 21 to the two step portions 14, the positional accuracy can be further improved. In addition, since the annular portion 21a has the connection shape, it is possible to prevent the seal member 21 from being misoriented when the seal member 21 is inserted.
- the seal member 21 Since the connecting portion 21b described above is thinner than each annular portion 21a, the seal member 21 can be easily bent. Accordingly, the seal member 21 can be easily inserted into the main body portion 11 and can be easily and accurately fitted into the step portion 14, so that the positional accuracy of the annular portion 21a can be further improved.

Abstract
Description
(3)前記シール部材と前記断熱部材とが異なる材質であることが好ましい。
(4)前記シリンダヘッド本体には、バルブガイドが挿通される挿通孔が前記吸気ポートと連通するように形成されていることが好ましい。この場合、前記段差部は、前記挿通孔の開口よりも前記流れ方向の上流側に位置することが好ましい。
(6)前記吸気ポートは、二つの吸気バルブ孔を介して前記燃焼室と連通する二股形状に形成されており、前記段差部は、前記吸気ポートの二股に分かれる分岐点又は前記分岐点よりも前記流れ方向の下流側に位置することが好ましい。
(8)また、上記(7)の場合、前記連結部が、各々の前記環状部よりも薄肉であることが好ましい。
図1は、本実施形態に係るシリンダヘッド1の吸気側部分をエンジンのフロント側から見た模式的な正面図であり、図2はシリンダヘッド1の側面図(図1のA方向矢視図)である。シリンダヘッド1は、例えば車両に搭載されるエンジンを構成する部品である。本実施形態では、四つの気筒が一列に並設され、一つの気筒に二つの吸気弁と二つの排気弁とが設けられるエンジンのシリンダヘッド1を例示する。また、本実施形態のエンジンには、燃焼室2(図3参照)に燃料を噴射する筒内噴射弁(図示略)と、吸気ポート3に燃料を噴射するポート噴射弁(図示略)とが装備される。なお、図3は吸気ポート3の周辺の構成を示す断面図(図2のB-B矢視断面図)である。
次に、上述したシリンダヘッド本体10の本体部11に断熱部材20及びシール部材21を配置することでシリンダヘッド1を製造する方法について、図6~図10を用いて説明する。なお、図5(a)~(c)に示す形状を持つシール部材21は予め用意される。一方、断熱部材20は、シール部材21を本体部11内に配置したのち、射出成型によって形成される。
(1)上述したシリンダヘッド1では、吸気ポート3に断面の大きさが変化する段差部14が設けられ、この段差部14と断熱部材20との間をシールするシール部材21が配置されていることから、吸気ポート3内に配置する断熱部材20の位置決め精度をシール部材21によって向上させることができ、成型の際に発生するバリを抑制できる。したがって、断熱部材20及びシール部材21を配置することによる吸気抵抗の増大を回避できる。
(5)さらに、上述したシール部材21には壁部21cが設けられていることから、段差部14に嵌め込んだ状態のシール部材21の姿勢を保持でき、シール部材21の位置精度をさらに向上させることができる。また、壁部21cは被覆部13の内面に沿うため、シール部材21と断熱部材20とが壁部21cを介して一体化されやすくなる。
上述したシリンダヘッド1の構成は一例であって、上述したものに限られない。例えば、直列四気筒エンジンのシリンダヘッドでなくてもよいし、筒内噴射弁及びポート噴射弁の両方を備えたエンジンのシリンダヘッドでなくてもよい。また、1気筒に吸気弁が一つ設けられるエンジンのシリンダヘッドや、1気筒に吸気弁が二つ以上設けられるシリンダヘッドであって吸気ポート内で二股に分かれていないもの(吸気ポートの入口部からそれぞれ独立したポートで形成されたもの)であってもよい。この場合、吸気ポートの形状が二股形状とはならず、一つの吸気ポートに設けられるシール部材は、一つの環状部から構成される。
