    摘要: The present invention relates to an oil scraper ring spring (1) for an oil scraper ring (3) comprising the oil scraper ring spring (1), an upper and a lower metal ring (21, 22) and provided for being mounted in an oil ring groove of a piston. The oil scraper ring spring (1) comprises a plurality of upper regions (5) and a plurality of lower regions (7) arranged in alternating manner in a circumferential direction so as to be spaced in an axial direction; connecting regions (9) each connecting the adjacent upper and lower regions (5, 7) to each other. Each of the upper and lower regions (5, 7) comprises: a nose section (13) disposed at the inner circumferential end and adapted to push the respectively abutting upper or lower metal ring (21, 22) radially outwardly, and having a through-opening (15); an abutment section (17) extending radially between the nose section (13) and the outer circumferential end and configured to have the respective upper metal ring (21) abutting thereon or the respective lower metal ring (22) abutting thereon; wherein the abutment section (17) has a recess (19) formed therein the depth of which, relative to the abutting area of the abutment section (17), increases in the radial direction towards the through-opening (15), and the width of which increases in the radial direction towards the through-opening (15); wherein the recess (19) in the abutment section (17) has substantially the shape of a half-funnel; wherein the half-funnel has an opening angle of 30° to 150°, in particular of 30° to 60°, or wherein the upper side edges of the recess (19) span an angular segment of 5-50°, in particular 5-15°; and wherein increasing the depth and width of the recess (19) radially inwardly together with the through-opening (15) serves to increase and accelerate the oil flow to the piston center.
