摘要:
A piston assembly for an internal combustion engine, comprises: a piston head having an upper combustion wall with an undercrown surface and a ring belt region depending from said upper combustion wall, a floor having an upper surface and a bottom surface, said floor being spaced beneath said upper combustion wall in radial alignment with said ring belt region, a substantially enclosed, annular cooling gallery bounded by said undercrown surface and said floor, said cooling gallery extending radially inwardly from said ring belt region; a pair of pin bores depending directly from the floor of the cooling gallery; a pin having ends configured for oscillating receipt in the pin bores; a pin bearing surface extending within said pin bores and between said pin bores in said lower surface of said floor; a connecting rod having an end fixed to the pin for conjoint oscillation therewith; and a plurality of support members extending radially outwardly from a central longitudinal axis of said piston head, said support members extending between said undercrown surface and said upper surface of said floor.

Exemplary piston assemblies and methods of making the same are disclosed. An exemplary piston may include a piston body defining a piston axis, the piston body having a skirt and forming a lower surface of a cooling gallery. The body may include radially inner and outer body mating surfaces. The piston may further include a cooling gallery ring cooperating with the piston body to form the cooling gallery. The piston body and cooling gallery ring may be joined together along radially inner and radially outer interface regions to form a generally one-piece piston assembly. In some exemplary approaches, mating surfaces of the body and ring may be positioned adjacent a support surface configured to inhibit or prevent weld spatter formed in a process joining the ring and body from the cooling gallery.

A piston assembly is provided. The piston assembly may include: a piston rod; a piston pivotally connected to the piston rod; and a rotatable rod bearing configured to allow the piston rod to pass therethough and rotate along with the piston rod as the piston rod pivots with respect to the piston. A method of making a piston assembly may be provided. The method may include: attaching a piston rod to a piston in a pivoting connection; providing a rotatable bearing for the piston rod; and supporting the piston rod with the rotatable bearing.
