    摘要: Present day diesel engines having aluminum piston assemblies are limited to combustion chamber pressures of approximately 12,410 kPa (1,800 psi) whereas the desire is to increase such pressures up to the 15,170 kPa (2,200 psi) range. To reach such levels the instant piston assembly includes a steel piston member having an upper cylindrical portion of a diameter "D" and a compression height "CH". The ratio of the compression height "CH" to the diameter "D" being within the range of from 60% to 45%. The piston member is preferably forged and subsequently machined to precisely controllable dimensions. Moreover, the piston assembly is preferably of the articulated type and includes a forged aluminum piston skirt connected to the piston member through a common wrist pin. Engine manufacturers are also demanding a smaller engine package size while retaining power output, improve fuel consumption and decreased emissions. The subject piston member provides a simple and inexpensive solution to the increased power output package size relationship. To insure a small engine package, the piston member has a compression height to maximum diameter ratio within the range of from 60% to 45%. The piston member is preferably made from a steel forging to insure a reduced porosity over that of existing standard castings.

Moreover, the piston assembly is preferably of the articulated type and includes a forged aluminum piston skirt connected to the piston member through a common wrist pin. The skirt has an upwardly facing oil trough that is disposed in a cooperating relationship with the cooling recess of the piston member. A midsupported cylinder liner surrounds the piston assembly and a recess is provided thereabout at an elevation aligned with the top ring groove for maximizing cooling.

    摘要: Adjustment capabilities are useful in gearing mechanisms so that backlash settings between gears may be changed to accommodate for normal operation, wear, or maintenance disturbances. The subject backlash adjustment mechanism allows for adjustment of center distances between an adjustable idler gear (23) and a camshaft gear (24), while providing a geometric alignment (47,82) relationship to maintain a substantially fixed center distance between the adjustable idler gear (23) and another mating gear (22). The subject backlash adjustment mechanism (26) has the adjustable idler gear (23) rotatably mounted on an idler gear mounting (31,58) having a slotted hole (33,62), with the idler gear mounting (31,58) being releasably connected to a cylinder block (11). When adjustment is required, the idler gear mounting (31,58) can be pivoted around a pivot (28,70) to the extent permitted by the slotted hole (33,62), thereby changing the position of the adjustable idler gear (23) relative to the position of the camshaft gear (24). The pivot (28,70) is fixedly connected to the cylinder block (11) between the centerlines (49,51) of the idler gear (23) and the mating gear (22) and being positioned substantially on a line (B) intersecting the centerlines (49,51) of the idler gear (23) and the mating gear (22).

    摘要: A fluid seal device (10) has a plurality of non-contacting fluid seals located at the operative interface (16) between a stationary member (18) and a rotatable member (20) for preventing the leakage of a fluid from a fluid chamber (14). The first of the non-contacting seals (24) is a labyrinth seal (32) located adjacent the fluid chamber (14). The second non-contacting seal (40) is a spiral groove (42) located adjacent and in serial relation to the labyrinth seal (32). A third non-contacting seal (60) is a fluid slinger (62) which is located between the fluid chamber (14) and the labyrinth seal (32) for directing fluid (12) away from the path of operative interface (16). The fluid seal device (10) eliminates friction and increases the life expectancy thereof when used at the operative interface (16) between a stationary member (18) and a rotatable member (20) such as a crankshaft and block of an engine.

    摘要: Engines are needed to perform a variety of functions in a variety of horsepowers. The subject method of obtaining a longer stroke on an existing engine makes it possible to increase the horsepower capabilities without replacing or modifying the cylinder block or cylinder head. The method includes replacing the existing crankshaft with a crankshaft having a larger throw "T" to increase the stroke length of the engine. In order to compensate for the increased stroke length, a spacer is provided. In addition, the existing connecting rod with the outer swing path "S" is replaced with a connecting rod having an outer swing path "S". In order to avoid interference with the block the existing connecting rod bolts are replaced with connecting rod bolts having reduced diameter shanks and angularly disposing the bolts in relation to a connecting rod axis. The compression ratio os the long stroke engine is maintained substantially equivalent to that of the existing engine by increasing the clearance volume at top dead center within the bore in relation to the increased combustion volume created by the crankshaft having a larger throw "T".

    摘要: Rigidifying or structural members are used to increase structural stiffness of cylinder block and consequently have reduced vibrations and noise emitted therefrom. These devices in the past have reduced serviceability, increased engine component complexity, increased cost and allowed additional interfaces for lubricant to leak therefrom. The subject structural member or rigidifying member provides a simple, inexpensive, light-weight solution to increasing structural stiffness of cylinder block. The subject structural member has an uninterrupted flange therearound and a plurality of equally spaced longitudinally positioned openings therethrough. The flange is secured in frictional contact with the inner mounting surface inside the oil pan. Thus, the interface for lubrication leakage of past members has been eliminated. The openings have reduced the weight of the member and provide an opening through which the crankshaft can swing preventing the need to increase the engine height. The structural member is free of connection with the main bearing caps which reduces component complexibility, cost and simplifies serviceability.

This provides a substantial time savings when removing a driving shaft (22) from a prime mover.
