Patent number: 7007637Abstract: A water jacket for a cylinder head is disclosed. The water jacket comprises a coolant flow channel formed between a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet for allowing the coolant to flow in the cylinder head. Coolant flow regulation parts are provided in the coolant flow channel for accomplishing smooth flow of the coolant between exhaust ports corresponding to respective combustion chambers, and a coolant flow distribution part is provided in the coolant flow channel for uniformly distributing flow of the coolant between the exhaust ports corresponding to the respective combustion chambers. According to the present invention, delay of the coolant flowing between the exhaust ports corresponding to the respective combustion chambers is prevented, and thus a cooling efficiency of the cylinder head is improved.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2003Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Hyundai Motor CompanyInventor: Gyu-Han Hwang

Patent number: 6948229Abstract: The present invention relates to a variable tumble flow-generating device, which comprises: a bulkhead for dividing an intake port into a first passage and a second passage; an opening degree control valve for selectively changing an opening degree of the first and second passages; and driving means for operating the opening angle control valve. This variable tumble flow-generating device can generate tumble flow by making air flowing through different passages while minimizing a flow resistance of air supplied into the combustion chamber, and which has a simple structure so that a limitation in its installation space in relation with other parts can be avoid. Also, the variable tumble flow-generating device is manufactured by adding only a structure where the bulkhead is previously assembled with the intake port core of the prior art. For this reason, this is a simple structure and thus is manufactured at inexpensive costs.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Hyundai Motor CompanyInventors: Gyu-Hwan Kim, Gyu-Han Hwang
