Cylinder block for engine
View Patent ↗A cylinder block in an engine including: the cylinder block; a plurality of bearing caps for supporting a crankshaft mounted to the cylinder block; a number of cap bolts fixing the plural bearing caps to the cylinder block; a plurality of bearing cap beams, disposed one beneath each of the plural bearing caps, supporting the plural bearing caps; and a number of beam bolts fixing the plural bearing cap beams to a skirt portion of the cylinder block, wherein each of the plural bearing cap beams and the corresponding one of the plural bearing cap are fixed to the cylinder block by two or more of the cap bolts, and two or more of the cap bolts and two or more beam bolts associated with a same one of the plural bearing cap beams are disposed at close proximity sequentially.
1. A structure of a cylinder block in an engine comprising:
said cylinder block;
a plurality of bearing caps for supporting a crankshaft mounted to the cylinder block;
a number of cap bolts fixing the plural bearing caps to said cylinder block;
a plurality of bearing cap beams, disposed one beneath each of said plural bearing caps, supporting said plural bearing caps;
a plurality of baffle plates, each baffle plate protruding downward from two adjacent bearing cap beams and serving as a connection there between; and
a number of beam bolts fixing said plural bearing cap beams to a skirt portion of said cylinder block, wherein
each of said plural bearing cap beams and the corresponding one of said plural bearing cap are fixed to said cylinder block by two or more of said cap bolts, and
two or more of said cap bolts and two or more of said beam bolts associated with a same one of said plural bearing cap beams are disposed at close proximity sequentially.
2. A structure of a cylinder block in an engine comprising:
said cylinder block;
a plurality of bearing caps for supporting a crankshaft mounted to the cylinder block;
a number of cap bolts fixing the plural bearing caps to said cylinder block;
a plurality of bearing cap beams, disposed one beneath each of said plural bearing caps, supporting said plural bearing caps; and
a number of beam bolts fixing said plural bearing cap beams to a skirt portion of said cylinder block, wherein
each of said plural bearing cap beams and the corresponding one of said plural bearing cap are fixed to said cylinder block by two or more of said cap bolts,
two or more of said cap bolts and two or more of said beam bolts associated with a same one of said plural bearing cap beams are disposed at close proximity sequentially,
two or more of said cap bolts are arranged on each of both sides of one of said plural bearing cap beams which sides are interposed by the crankshaft, and
a distance between one of said plural beam bolts and one of the two or more cap bolts which is arranged the nearest to the one beam bolt is substantially identical to that between each adjacent pair of said two or more cap bolts disposed on said each side.
3. The structure of a cylinder block in an engine according to claim 2 , wherein:
the engine includes two or more cylinders; and said structure further comprises a baffle plate, disposed between each two adjacent bearing cap beams, corresponding to at least one of the cylinders.
4. The structure of a cylinder block in an engine according to claim 3 , wherein each said bearing cap beam is in contact with the bottom of the corresponding bearing cap and upwardly fixes the corresponding bearing cap at a position between an axis of the crankshaft and the bottom of a rotation path of the crankshaft.
5. A structure of a cylinder block in an engine comprising:
said cylinder block;
a plurality of bearing caps for supporting a crankshaft mounted to the cylinder block;
a number of cap bolts fixing the plural bearing caps to said cylinder block;
a plurality of bearing cap beams, disposed one beneath each of said plural bearing caps, supporting said plural bearing caps; and
a number of beam bolts fixing said plural bearing cap beams to a skirt portion of said cylinder block, wherein:
each of said plural bearing cap beams and the corresponding one of said plural bearing cap are fixed to said cylinder block by two or more of said cap bolts,
two or more of said cap bolts and two or more of said beam bolts associated with a same one of said plural bearing cap beams are disposed at close proximity sequentially,
the engine includes two or more cylinders, and
said structure further comprises a baffle plate, disposed between each two adjacent bearing cap beams, corresponding to at least one of the cylinders.
6. The structure of a cylinder block in an engine according to claim 5 , wherein each said bearing cap beam is in contact with the bottom of the corresponding bearing cap and upwardly fixes the corresponding bearing cap at a position between an axis of the crankshaft and the bottom of a rotation path of the crankshaft.
7. A structure of a cylinder block in an engine comprising:
said cylinder block;
a plurality of bearing caps for supporting a crankshaft mounted to the cylinder block;
a number of cap bolts fixing the plural bearing caps to said cylinder block;
a plurality of bearing cap beams, disposed one beneath each of said plural bearing caps, supporting said plural bearing caps; and
a number of beam bolts fixing said plural bearing cap beams to a skirt portion of said cylinder block, wherein
each of said plural bearing cap beams and the corresponding one of said plural bearing cap are fixed to said cylinder block by two or more of said cap bolts,
two or more of said cap bolts and two or more of said beam bolts associated with a same one of said plural bearing cap beams are disposed at close proximity sequentially, and
each said bearing cap beam is in contact with the bottom of the corresponding bearing cap and upwardly fixes the corresponding bearing cap at a position between an axis of the crankshaft and the bottom of a rotation path of the crankshaft.
