Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lower water jacket of a cylinder head includes a lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion configured between a lower exhaust collecting portion and an upper exhaust collecting portion by bypassing a lower exhaust collecting portion cooling portion. Besides, cooling water flowing through the lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion is merely cooling water of the lower water jacket, and cooling water of an upper water jacket does not flow through the lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion. Therefore, in the lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion, interference may not occur in cooling water of the two water jackets to restrain smooth flowing, and cooling effects of an area sandwiched by the lower exhaust collecting portion and the upper exhaust collecting portion are further improved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A water jacket structure of a cylinder head, wherein a lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ) and an upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ) that are configured in a manner of being overlapped in an up-and-down direction, a lower water jacket ( 15 ) configured below the lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ), and an upper water jacket ( 16 ) configured above the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ) are formed inside a cylinder head ( 13 ), and cooling water is independent of one another and flows in a same direction inside the lower water jacket ( 15 ) and the upper water jacket ( 16 ), and the lower water jacket ( 15 ) comprises a lower exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 b ) opposite to a lower surface of the lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ), the upper water jacket ( 16 ) comprises an upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 16 c ) opposite to an upper surface of the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ), one of the lower water jacket ( 15 ) and the upper water jacket ( 16 ) comprises a lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 c ) configured between the lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ) and the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ) by bypassing one of the lower exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 b ) of the lower water jacket ( 15 ) and the upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 16 c ) of the upper water jacket ( 16 ), and the lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 c ) is opposite to an upper surface of the lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ) and a lower surface of the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ), wherein the one of the lower exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 b ) of the lower water jacket ( 15 ) and the upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 16 c ) of the upper water jacket ( 16 ) connects with the lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 c ) through only two connection portions having volume expansion portions ( 15 e , 15 g ). 2. A water jacket structure of a cylinder head, wherein a lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ) and an upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ) that are configured in a manner of being overlapped in an up-and-down direction, a lower water jacket ( 15 ) configured below the lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ), and an upper water jacket ( 16 ) configured above the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ) are formed inside a cylinder head ( 13 ), and cooling water is independent of one another and flows in a same direction inside the lower water jacket ( 15 ) and the upper water jacket ( 16 ), and the lower water jacket ( 15 ) comprises a lower exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 b ) opposite to a lower surface of the lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ), the upper water jacket ( 16 ) comprises an upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 16 c ) opposite to an upper surface of the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ), the lower water jacket ( 15 ) comprises a lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 c ) configured between the lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ) and the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ) by bypassing the exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 b ) of the lower water jacket ( 15 ), and the lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 c ) is opposite to an upper surface of the lower exhaust collecting portion ( 17 a ) and a lower surface of the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ), wherein the lower exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 b ) is connected to the lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 c ) in a manner of hanging at a lower end of an upstream passage ( 15 d ) and an upper end of an downstream passage ( 15 f ), an upper surface of the lower/upper exhaust collecting portion cooling portion ( 15 c ) is bent towards a lower surface of the upper exhaust collecting portion ( 18 a ) into a concave shape.
