SEAL STRUCTURE AND MOUNTING METHOD OF BELT COVER FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240209811 titled 'SEAL STRUCTURE AND MOUNTING METHOD OF BELT COVER FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
The patent application describes a seal structure and mounting method for a belt cover in an internal combustion engine, ensuring good sealability and minimizing detachment and attachment issues.
- The belt cover consists of an inner cover member and outer cover members on both sides of the timing belt.
- The outer cover member is divided into upper and lower outer covers for easy detachment and attachment.
- Sealing in different directions is achieved by seal members accommodated in mating surfaces of the cover members.
- Protrusions are provided for locking the upper outer cover in place.
- The design allows for the detachment and attachment of only necessary cover members, enhancing maintainability.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for internal combustion engines - Machinery and equipment with timing belt systems
Problems Solved: - Ensures good sealability - Minimizes detachment and attachment issues - Enhances maintainability
Benefits: - Improved seal performance - Easy detachment and attachment process - Enhanced overall engine maintenance
Commercial Applications: Title: "Seal Structure and Mounting Method for Internal Combustion Engines" This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for various internal combustion engine systems, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the seal structure improve the overall performance of the internal combustion engine? 2. What are the specific advantages of the mounting method for the belt cover in terms of maintenance and durability?
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a seal structure and a mounting method of a belt cover for an internal combustion engine, the belt cover ensuring good sealability, minimizing detachment and attachment of peripheral pipe and the like when the belt cover is detached and attached, and having excellent maintainability by allowing detachment and attachment of only a necessary cover member. the belt cover includes an inner cover member (3, ch) and an outer cover member on both sides of a timing belt tb, and the outer cover member is divided into upper and lower outer covers (7) and (8) . sealing in a cylinder bore row direction with respect to the upper outer cover is formed by a first seal member (31) accommodated in a mating surface of the inner cover member, and sealing in a cylinder axis direction with respect to the upper outer cover is formed by a second seal member (33) accommodated in a lower mating surface of the lower outer cover. a predetermined gap is formed between the inner cover member and another component (21), and a plurality of protrusions 34 and 34 for locking the upper outer cover are provided on the lower mating surface of the lower outer cover.
