  • Patent number: 10669903
    Abstract: An oil cooling structure of an engine is provided that is capable of enhancing cooling performance of oil while preventing an increase in number of components or an increase in required space from being involved as much as possible. In an oil cooling structure of an engine in which a transmission case is attached to one end wall of an engine body, and a transmission mechanism for an accessory drive is provided in the transmission case, the transmission case is formed into a potlid-shaped body having a plurality of rib walls along a front-rear direction, and is attached to an engine front wall with an engine cooling fan, and case inner chamber portions partitioned by the rib walls in the transmission case are configured as a transporting passage of oil circulated by an oil pump.

  • Patent number: 10641200
    Abstract: A cooling structure of a water-cooled engine includes: a plurality of cylinders 2 arranged in a cylinder block 1; and a water jacket W formed around the plurality of cylinders 2. The water jacket W includes a pair of main flow paths 7, 8 formed in a state of extending in a cylinder arrangement direction outside the cylinders, and inter-bore flow paths 9, 10 formed between adjacent cylinders 2 in a state of connecting the pair of main flow paths 7, 8. Guide walls 11h, 13h, capable of guiding the cooling water flowing in the main flow paths 7, 8 to the inter-bore flow paths 9, 10, are formed in the cylinder block 1.

  • Patent number: 10161353
    Abstract: A piston for an engine is provided, that makes it possible to improve supply of engine oil to a recessed part thereof. The piston includes a resin coating film and a recessed part on a surface of a skirt part. In the piston, resin coating films are distributed in a patchy fashion on the surface of the skirt part. The recessed part is formed by the surface of the skirt part, between adjacent surfaces of the patchy resin coating films and by the adjacent resin coating films, forming a net-like groove. An outer-edge resin coating film, extending in a piston movement direction, is provided at the ends, in a piston circumferential direction of the skirt part.
