V 6 ENGINE
V 6 ENGINE
Embedded Files
A V6 engine, often just called a V6, is an internal combustion engine with six cylinders. The engine has three cylinders on each side called banks. The two banks form a "V" shaped angle. In most engines, the two banks are at a right angle (90°) or less to each other. All six pistons turn a common crankshaft. It is the second most common engine design in modern cars after the inline-four. It can be powered by different types of fuels, including gasoline, diesel, natural gas and alcohol.

The rendered image above is of a V 6 Engine. I took this project for practice purpose and designed all the components in Solid Works before their assembly. I understood various features of the engine and also understood the contribution of each component in the smooth functioning of the engine.
Several tolerances had to be considered while designing the components to compensate for the effect of the expansion of the metal. Mating of some components was mechanical like the belt wheel and belt, camshaft and rocker, rocker roll and the valve head etc. These combinations of different mechanisms and their role make this project a diverse one for understanding a wide concept of designing at a single place. This also edified that the design of any machine should look as good as it functions.
These are the auxiliary components in the engine along with their function in caption.
Rocker arm which plays the vital role in transferring the cam shaft movement into translatory motion of the valves.
Piston is the component which compresses the air fuel mixture up to a combustible limit.
Air Turbo is a forced induction device that increases an engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra compressed air into the combustion chamber.
Inlet Manifold is a hollow pipe which purposely deliver the intake air from the filter to the combustion chamber.
Air Filter is the attachment to the air turbo which restricts the dust in the air to slip inside the combustion chamber.
Exhaust Manifold is quite similar to the inlet manifold except for the nature of gas i.e. exhaust fumes after combustion.
Camshaft is a device that controls both the input of fuel and the expulsion of exhaust fumes. It consists of several radial cams, each displacing intake or exhaust valves.
Crankshaft is an engine component that converts the linear (reciprocating) motion of the piston into rotary motion and is the main rotating component of an engine.
Front engine cover holds the front crankshaft seal, and protects the timing chains from dirt and debris
