Abstract

The cylinder head includes: an intake port; a low-temperature cooling water channel for circulating low-temperature cooling water; a high-temperature cooling water channel for circulating cooling water of a higher temperature than the cooling water flowing through the low-temperature cooling water channel; and a gas channel for recirculating a portion of blow-by gas or EGR gas to the intake port. The low-temperature cooling water channel is configured to include a first water jacket that covers at least one portion of the wall surface of the intake port on an intake-air upstream side relative to an opening end opening at a wall surface of the intake port from the gas channel.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine including two cooling water circulation systems in which temperatures of cooling water are different, comprising:
an intake port;
a low-temperature cooling water channel for circulating cooling water of a low temperature,
a high-temperature cooling water channel for circulating cooling water of a higher temperature than cooling water flowing through the low-temperature cooling water channel;
a gas channel for recirculating a portion of blow-by gas or EGR gas to the intake port;
an opening end opening at a wall surface of the intake port from the gas channel; and
a port injector provided in the intake port,
wherein the low-temperature cooling water channel is configured to include a first water jacket covering at least one portion of the wall surface of the intake port, the at least one portion being located on an intake-air upstream side relative to the opening end,
wherein the opening end is provided on an intake-air upstream side relative to a spray region of fuel from the port injector.

2. A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine including two cooling water circulation systems in which temperatures of cooling water are different, comprising:
an intake port;
a low-temperature cooling water channel for circulating cooling water of a low temperature;
a high-temperature cooling water channel for circulating cooling water of a higher temperature than cooling water flowing through the low-temperature cooling water channel;
a gas channel for recirculating a portion of blow-by gas or EGR gas to the intake port; and
an opening end opening at a wall surface of the intake port from the gas channel;
wherein the low-temperature cooling water channel is configured to include a first water jacket covering at least one portion of the wall surface of the intake port, the at least one portion being located on an intake-air upstream side relative to the opening end,
wherein the low-temperature cooling water channel is configured to include a second water jacket covering at least one portion of the wall surface of the intake port, the at least one portion being located on an intake-air downstream side relative to the opening end; and
a straightening vane is provided inside the intake port to prevent gas introduced from the opening end into the intake port from contacting the wall surface covered by the second water jacket.

3. The cylinder head according to claim 2 , wherein:
the second water jacket is configured so as to cover a wall surface on a side facing the opening end; and
the straightening vane is provided from the opening end to the wall surface covered by the second water jacket, so as to separate the intake port into a side of the wall surface covered by the second water jacket and a side of the opening end.
