Abstract

A cylinder head includes: a plurality of exhaust ports configured to lead out exhaust gas from combustion chambers; a plurality of intake ports configured to introduce fresh air into the combustion chambers; an intake air aggregate part configured to aggregate the plurality of intake ports; and a second EGR pipe in which EGR gas flows, wherein exhaust outlets of the plurality of exhaust ports and an EGR gas inlet of the second EGR pipe are arranged side-by-side on a flat left side surface, and a fresh air inlet of the intake air aggregate part and an EGR gas outlet of the second EGR pipe are arranged side-by-side on a flat right side surface.

Claims (26)

1. A cylinder head of an engine, comprising:

a plurality of exhaust ports configured to lead out exhaust gas from combustion chambers;

a plurality of intake ports configured to introduce fresh air into the combustion chambers;

an intake air aggregate part configured to aggregate the plurality of intake ports; and

an EGR gas passage in which EGR gas flows, wherein

exhaust outlets of the plurality of exhaust ports and an EGR gas inlet of the EGR gas passage are arranged side-by-side on a flat first side surface of the cylinder head and,

a fresh air inlet of the intake air aggregate part and an EGR gas outlet of the EGR gas passage are arranged side-by-side on a flat second side surface which is a side opposite to the first side surface.

2. The cylinder head according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of exhaust ports, the plurality of intake ports, and the intake air aggregate part are formed inside of the cylinder head.

3. The cylinder head according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of intake port is located inward from the flat second side surface.

4. A cylinder head of an engine, comprising:

a plurality of exhaust ports configured to lead out exhaust gas from combustion chambers;

a plurality of intake ports configured to introduce fresh air into the combustion chambers;

an intake air aggregate part configured to aggregate the plurality of intake ports; and

an EGR gas passage in which EGR gas flows, wherein

exhaust outlets of the plurality of exhaust ports and an EGR gas inlet of the EGR gas passage are arranged side-by-side on a flat first side surface and

a fresh air inlet of the intake air aggregate part and an EGR gas outlet of the EGR gas passage are arranged side-by-side on a flat second side surface which is a side opposite to the first side surface.

5. The cylinder head according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a thermostat case whose top part is open and communicates with a cooling water outlet pipe;

a water jacket configured to cool the combustion chambers with cooling water;

a cooling water passage communicating with the thermostat case and the water jacket, wherein

the water jacket is formed so that the cooling water flows from an exhaust side to an intake side,

the cooling water passage is formed so that the cooling water flows from the exhaust side towards the thermostat case,

a height of the water jacket on the exhaust side is higher than a height of the water jacket on the intake side, and

a height of the cooling water passage on a side of the thermostat case is equal to or higher than a height of the cooling water passage on the exhaust side.

6. The cylinder head according to claim 4 , wherein the thermostat case has the cooling water outlet that opens in a worked surface of a top surface machined to be flat.

7. An engine, comprising a cylinder head according to claim 4 , wherein the cooling water pump is arranged immediately below the thermostat case.
