PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cylinder head design support method and the like capable of improving design efficiency and development efficiency independently of a difference in engine types of a gasoline engine and a diesel engine. SOLUTION: The cylinder head design support method comprises: a common portion selection step for selecting portions (an injector, a valve system, etc.) having common specifications independently of a difference in two engine types between the gasoline engine and the diesel engine; a different portion selection step for dividing portions (combustion rooms, suction ports and plug insertion parts) having different specifications in the two engine types of the gasoline engine and the diesel engine as units and selecting portions corresponding to each engine type from these portions; and a cylinder head model setup step for setting a cylinder head model of the gasoline engine or the diesel engine on the basis of the portions selected by the common portion selection step and the portions selected by the different portion selection step.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a variable valve system for an engine capable of maintaining the high detection accuracy of a rotation angle sensor installed near a camshaft. SOLUTION: The rotation angle sensor 43 and a hydraulic control valve 14 are arranged in such positional relationship that the tip detecting surface 43a of the rotation angle sensor 43 disposed close to a sensor rotor 42 assembled to an exhaust camshaft 5 faces the inside of a jet locus S of return oil discharged from a variable valve timing mechanism and jetted from a drain hole 3e provided in a cam cap 3, via a lower drain port of the hydraulic control valve 14 fitted to the cam cap 3. Further, the tip detecting surface 43a is positioned ahead in the rotating direction of the exhaust camshaft 5 shown by an arrow mark (a) so that the return oil is positively carried to the tip detecting surface 43a side by the rotation of the sensor rotor 42.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To suppress the response delay of secondary air supply quantity generated in association with the gear position changeover of a transmission so as to secure desirable emission performance in an engine with a supercharger provided with a secondary air supply device for supplying part of air supercharged by the supercharger, as the secondary air to an exhaust system, by the demand quantity corresponding to the operating state of the engine. CONSTITUTION:When there is the gear position changeover of a transmission 4, the opening of a duty solenoid valve 19 in a secondary air supply device 17 is corrected accordingly to perform the correction control of secondary air supply capacity. Accordingly, even if supercharging pressure is changed in association with the changeover of the transmission 4, there is no response delay in secondary air supply changeover.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling device for a multi-cylinder engine, in which whole cylinders are made to have uniform temperature distribution by suppressing a temperature difference in the vertical direction of each cylinder, a temperature difference between the exhaust side and the intake side of each cylinder, and a temperature difference among the cylinders.SOLUTION: A cylinder block includes: an introduction part which is provided on one end side of a cylinder row and introduces cooling liquid into a water jacket; a restriction part which is provided near the introduction part and restricts the flow of the cooling liquid introduced from the introduction part into an intake side portion of the water jacket; and a discharge part which is provided in the middle of the cylinder row on the intake side and discharges the cooling liquid from the water jacket. An exhaust side portion of the water jacket is formed so that its flow path cross sectional area is larger on the upper side in a cylinder shaft direction than on the lower side.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a variable valve timing device for an engine capable of surely or easily returning an exhaust camshaft in an advanced angle direction while stopping the engine or when starting the engine. SOLUTION: An annular groove 100 of an oil path 63 for a delayed angle on the exhaust camshaft 6 side is provided close to an end part in a width direction on a bearing surface 82 of a cam cap 4 as compared with an annular groove 101 of an oil path 62 for an advanced angle. The annular groove 100 of the oil path 63 for the delayed angle is provided close to an end part on a phase variable mechanism 23 side on the bearing surface 82 of the cam cap 4. The annular groove 101 of the oil path 62 for the advanced angle is provided at almost the center in the width direction on the bearing surface 82 of the cam cap 4. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the purifying factor of HC, CO without causing overheating of a catalyst of an exhaust system by alternately supplying secondary air in the upstream s4-4 of all catalytic devices and between the catalytic devices when it is judged that the catalyst temperature state is in the specific high temperature state. CONSTITUTION:The secondary air supply is switched and controlled by a switching valve unit 26 since the supplying position is switched and controlled so as to be positioned in the exhaust downstream as a load of an engine 1 is large basically in the air fuel ratio feedback control range. Port air is supplied within the right load range to which the air-fuel ratio feedback is not subjected, and presplit air is supplied within the middle load range wherein the feedback condition is satisfied, and split air is supplied within the specific high load range. Presplit air is supplied instead of port air in the low outside air temperature starting such as below the freezing point. Thus, overheating of the catalyst can be prevented by restraining the oxidation reaction of a precatalyzer 19 in a state where the temperature of the catalyst is raised by the increase of fuel.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To realize a large quantity of purge by enlarging the gradually increasing speed of a purge quantity as much as possible in the range of generating no change of air-fuel ratio at beginning purge. CONSTITUTION:In the early period of beginning purge, a purge quantity is gradually increased up to a required quantity. A time from the stop of purge in the last time to the beginning of purge in this time is measured, and when purge is begun within a setting time, change of purge concentration is estimated to be small so as to enlarge the inclination of rise of purge rate (A), and when purge is begun after the setting time, change of purge concentration is estimated to be large so as to reduce the inclination of rise of purge rate (B). Otherwise, changing condition of purge concentration is estimated by detecting difference of air-fuel ratios in the last time and this time in the early period of beginning purge, and hence inclination of rise of purge rate is changed. In addition, the inclination of rise of purge rate is also changed by fuel temperature, a fuel remaining quantity, existence of oil feed, existence of quick turning, and the like.

CONSTITUTION:A secondary air passage 62 is connected to a secondary air take-in port 61 opened to the merged part 23 of first and second air intake passages 22a and 22b, and the secondary air passage 62 is led to an air control valve unit 64 through an air pump 63. Also the secondary air passage is connected to the control valve unit 64, and a presplit air feed passage 66 and a split air feed passage 68 are led to the downstream exhaust passages 36, respectively. In this case, an air cut valve is installed in the secondary air passage 62 in the upstream of an air pump 63, and the air cut valve is closed when it is operated so that blowby gas and the like is liable to be produced.
