摘要:
A composite cylinder block comprises an inner component defining one or more cylinder bores and main bearing supports of a crankshaft, and an outer component defining an upper crankcase, the inner component being inserted in the outer component, and being rigidly attached thereto. The arrangement provides a comparatively lightweight and rigid cylinder block.

Systems and methods are provided for a cylinder block having one or more bulkheads. The bulkheads provide a dual-wall structure that may enhance the stiffness of the cylinder block in bending and torsion. The bulkheads may also provide an oil drain to allow oil to directly drain through a hollow core of the bulkhead. An overflow outlet may be formed in an inner wall of a bulkhead. In some implementations, a cylinder block with bulkheads may increase an oil capacity of an engine.
摘要:
An engine block, an engine subassembly, and method for providing and manufacturing an engine block. The engine block includes a plurality of cylinder barrels positioned in the engine block, at least one oil jacket channel formed in the engine block, and an oil inlet port positioned in a peripheral wall of the engine block and connected to the at least one oil jacket channel. The at least one oil jacket channel includes a plurality of curved channel sections. Each curved channel section in the plurality of curved channel sections extends about at least a portion of a circumferential portion of a respective cylinder barrel in the plurality of cylinder barrels. The at least one oil jacket channel extends between adjacent cylinder barrels of the plurality of cylinder barrels in the engine block.

An engine block assembly and method manufacturing an engine block assembly and related components. A casted engine block assembly includes a cylinder block portion. The cylinder block portion includes a plurality of cylinder block openings disposed therein, a cylinder block flange portion positioned at a top of the cylinder block portion and a cylinder block crankcase portion disposed at a base of the cylinder block. The cylinder block flange portion is configured for coupling the cylinder block to a cylinder head. The cylinder block portion includes a plurality of cylinder block walls extending between the cylinder block flange portion and the cylinder block crankcase portion and positioned about the plurality of cylinder block openings. The cylinder block walls house a plurality of internal channels. The plurality of cylinder block walls are void of enclosed openings extending through at least one of the cylinder block walls in the plurality of cylinder block walls.

An iron-based alloy for use in a plasma transferred wire arc thermal spray apparatus includes a high sulfur steel alloy in a stainless and non-stainless forms including a high aluminum and high titanium content. The alloy has significant improvements in the elimination of spray coating cracking, reduction of machining cost, and improved lubrication performance.
摘要:
The present invention is an internal combustion engine composed of a plurality of cylinders arranged into banks. Located near the mid-point of each bank of cylinders is a section formed with passages that are configured to provide distribution and recovery of cooling and lubrication fluids. This section is located such that the path of these fluids begins and ends at a mid-point so as to provide a shortened path across each half of the bank of cylinders within which the section is located.
摘要:
An engine is provided. The engine includes a thermo-molded composite cylinder block including a front engine cover attachment interface and a transmission attachment interface. The engine further includes a cylinder liner comprising a different material than a composite cylinder block and integrally molded with the composite cylinder block, the cylinder liner defining a portion of a boundary of a cylinder and including a top deck at least partially extending across a water jacket cavity surrounding the cylinder.
摘要:
A housing for an internal combustion engine is provided with a bore, which is formed by at least two bore sections at a distance from each other. The bore may be a bearing tunnel in a crankcase or a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine. A rotating, machining tool is provided to machine the bore. The tool is introduced into the bore by axial displacement and the bore is used as a counter-bearing for the tool for radially supporting the tool. The counter-bearing is in one piece with the housing.
摘要:
Various bulkhead inserts having a cracked cap are provided. In one example, a cylinder block includes a plurality of cylinder bores, a crankcase disposed below the cylinder block in a vertical direction, and a plurality of inserts, where each adjacent pair of inserts of the plurality of inserts partitions each cylinder bore of the plurality of cylinder bores. Each insert of the plurality of inserts has an upper portion and a cap disposed below the upper portion, the cap cracked from the upper portion and rejoined to the upper portion by one or more fastening devices, the upper having one or more upper bosses, each upper boss having a surface with extruded, circumferentially-extending serrations.
