Patent number: 10934968Abstract: An engine cooling structure includes a cylinder block including a block inner peripheral wall that defines a water jacket and a block outer peripheral wall, a spacer housed in the water jacket, and a cooler provided outside the engine body. The spacer includes: a peripheral wall surrounding the block inner peripheral wall; and a dividing wall protruding from the peripheral wall to divide the water jacket into an upper passage and lower passages below the upper passage. A coolant introduced from a coolant inlet into the upper passage passes through an inter-bore part of the block inner peripheral wall. The coolant in the lower passages is introduced into the cooler through a coolant exit.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Shinji Watanabe, Tatsuya Takahata, Yoshiaki Hayamizu, Keita Watanabe, Mikimasa Kawaguchi

Patent number: 10202932Abstract: A water jacket spacer is arranged to surround substantially an entire periphery of a portion of the cylinder liner which corresponds to the water jacket. An opening through which a coolant introduced from a coolant-introducing section is introduced to an inner side of a water jacket spacer is formed in a portion of the water jacket spacer which corresponds to the coolant-introducing section. An upper section of the water jacket spacer is positioned close to a cylinder block outer peripheral wall. A coolant passage through which the coolant introduced from the opening is circulated around an outer periphery of an upper portion of the cylinder liner is formed between the upper section of the water jacket spacer and the outer periphery of the upper portion of the cylinder liner. A lower section of the water jacket spacer is positioned close to the cylinder liner.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2015Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Masanori Doho, Yoshiaki Hayamizu, Jun Nakashima

Patent number: 10174708Abstract: A cooling structure of a multi-cylinder engine is provided, which includes a water jacket formed in a cylinder block to surround cylinder bores of cylinders arranged inline, a spacer, and a coolant inlet. The spacer includes openings at positions corresponding to inter-cylinder-bore portions and a rectifying part extending outwardly on a lower side of the openings. The rectifying part inclines continuously upwardly while extending in one of an exhaust- and intake-side section of the jacket from a first end side to a second end side that is the opposite side from the first end side in a cylinder line-up direction, extending on the second end side from the one of the exhaust- and intake-side sections to the other one of the exhaust- and intake-side sections, and then extending from the second end side to the first end side in the other one of the exhaust- and intake-side sections.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2017Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Uichiro Mori, Yoshiaki Hayamizu, Daisuke Tabata, Daisuke Matsumoto

Patent number: 10113501Abstract: A cooling structure of an engine is provided, which includes a water jacket formed in a cylinder block to surround a cylinder bore of the engine, a spacer having a vertical wall surface and inserted into the water jacket, and a coolant inlet formed in an outer wall of the water jacket, and for circulating to the water jacket coolant introduced from the coolant inlet. The vertical wall surface surrounds the cylinder bore. The spacer includes a guide part provided at a position of a lower end part of the vertical wall surface corresponding to the coolant inlet, and for guiding the coolant introduced from the coolant inlet to flow around the vertical wall surface. The guide part extends outwardly from the lower end part of the vertical wall surface toward the coolant inlet along a bottom wall of the water jacket.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Uichiro Mori, Yoshiaki Hayamizu, Daisuke Tabata, Daisuke Matsumoto

Publication number: 20170298860Abstract: A cooling structure of a multi-cylinder engine is provided, which includes a first water jacket formed in a cylinder block to surround cylinder bores of cylinders arranged inline, a spacer having a vertical wall surface and inserted into the first jacket, and a coolant inlet formed in the first jacket on a first end side in a cylinder line-up direction. The structure circulates coolant introduced from the inlet to the first jacket and a second water jacket formed in a cylinder head coupled to the cylinder block via a gasket. The spacer has a flow dividing rib extending outwardly from the vertical wall surface and for vertically dividing the coolant flow, introduced from the inlet to an intake- or exhaust-side section of the first jacket, toward the second jacket through a communication hole formed in the gasket and toward a discharging section provided to the cylinder block.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2017Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: Uichiro Mori, Yoshiaki Hayamizu, Daisuke Tabata, Daisuke Matsumoto

Patent number: 4770234Abstract: A resilient support for the support of a radiator assembly in an automobile, which radiator assembly has top and bottom resiliently supported by an automobile body structure by means of respective upper and lower elastic members, the support means constituting a dynamic damper with the radiator assembly acting as an inertia mass. The radiator assembly is supported while tilted in a direction generally parallel to the direction of movement of the automobile, and the upper elastic member is provided with a low rigidity region for reducing the rigidity of the elastic member in a direction up and down. This low rigidity region is provided in the upper elastic member except for a local area of the same upper elastic member which lies on one side of a point of support of the radiator assembly in the direction parallel to the direction of movement of the automobile and on which at least a static load of the radiator assembly tends to concentrate considerably.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1987Date of Patent: September 13, 1988Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Kazunari Hiraoka, Yoshiaki Hayamizu
