Abstract:
A pivoting bearing is provided for two connecting rods in a reciprocating piston of an internal combustion engine having two crankshafts which are driven via the reciprocating piston and the connecting rods. The pivoting bearing is received by piston bores of the piston and has gudgeon pin bores for mounting gudgeon pins for gudgeon pin eyes of the connecting rods. The pivoting bearing has radial bearing regions which are provided with the pin bores, are arranged on both sides of a center longitudinal axis of the reciprocating pistons, and delimit the gudgeon pin eyes in a manner which forms an intermediate space. To optimize the pivoting bearing, the bearing regions of the pivoting bearing are configured as cylinder bodies with a cup-like cross section, of which each cylinder body has a base wall and a bearing ring shell. The base walls of the two cylinder bodies extend at a spacing from one another, and the bearing ring shells which surround the base walls are guided away from the base walls in opposite directions. A plurality of connecting stubs run between the base walls in such a way that two connecting stubs are arranged on a side of the pivoting bearing, which side faces a piston crown, and extend at a relatively small spacing from ring sections of the gudgeon pin eyes, and in such a way that the connecting stubs and the ring sections have lubricating structures for lubricating connecting rod bearings of the connecting rods.
