  • Publication number: 20240084729
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine including a cylinder crankcase and a cylinder head with an integrated height-adjustable fan attachment for elastic V-ribbed belts. 2. An internal combustion engine including a crankcase (1), at least one device for driving a fan, in particular of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, is described. The internal combustion engine includes a fan bracket (3) and a bearing device (5) via which the fan is displaceably situated relative to the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine of the drive unit; and a belt drive via which the fan is drivable, including a first belt pulley and a second belt pulley which are in drive connection via a belt (8), the first belt pulley being situated on the bearing device (5).

  • Patent number: 11603816
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, includes at least one working cylinder and one cylinder head closing the working cylinder, in which an injector for injecting fuel is situated for the working cylinder. The engine includes a clamping claw for the injector for injecting fuel, whose one end is supported on the other end, in which at least two arms are provided in such a way that one arm of the clamping claw acts upon an injector in each case, and the injector presses against a seat or a seal in the cylinder head in a sealing manner with the aid of a defined force. The engine also include a clamping screw designed as a push-through screw and including a screw head collar and a corresponding thread is provided in the cylinder head, which fastens the clamping claw at the cylinder head.

  • Patent number: 11473523
    Abstract: A method is for generating a cylinder crankcase including a foreign object inclusion for cast reduction and for the improved cleanliness of the generated component. The cast material is in particular removed or pushed from the areas between the tie-rods (2) below the water jacket (1), to avoid dirt input into the component during later engine operation. The areas below the water jacket (1) between the tie-rods (2) are designed as a separate tie-rod core (3), and the bolts (4) used during later installation at the water jacket core (5) are enclosed in the tie-rod core (3), so that the tie-rod core (3) is completely surrounded by cast material in the component following the cast and the bolt (4) has coalesced with the cast, and the tie-rod core (3) remains in the generated component and is located in an encapsulated space generated by the cast material.
