Abstract:
A piston assembly is configured for high compressive loading, or arduous duty cycle, such as in a two-stroke, compression-ignition (diesel), internal combustion engine, and incorporates a (part-) spherical or (part-) cylindrical bearing (18, 22, 23, 42), between a piston (10) and a connecting rod (50) small end (64); a (part) closed, unitary retaining ring (40), with a threaded circumference (44), for piston mounting; and an aperture, of internal profile (45) allowing its installation, by passage over the connecting rod; or, alternatively, as a partially-closed loop, with a peripheral slot, laterally to accommodate the connecting rod.
Abstract:
In a piston and connecting rod assembly, for an internal combustion engine, with a (part-)spherical, connecting rod small-end (64), entrained in a hollow piston body, by a retention ring (40), a chamber, serving as a localised reservoir (27), for lubricant and/or coolant (oil), is incorporated in the underside (18), of a piston crown (16), along with passages or grooves (26), communicating between the reservoir (27), and a coolant gallery (20) in the piston crown, for continuous interchange of lubricant (oil), between gallery (20) and reservoir (27), and thence lubricant (oil) return, over small end (upper and lower) part-spherical bearing surfaces (22, 23), to the retention ring (40), and through lubricant (oil) passages (46) in the ring, to an engine crankcase; affording an overall (re-) circulatory, lubricant (oil) feed and drainage path.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a CO2 compressor with a housing (3) and with a housing support (5) which is characterized in that the housing support (5) is configured as a separate component and is mounted on the housing (3) so as to have a directional rigidity.
Abstract:
A piston (16) is provided for use in a free-piston engine (10) and includes a crown portion (48) having a predetermined thickness, a plunger connection portion (50) having a passage (66) extending therethrough along the axis of the piston (16) and being connected to the crown portion (48), a sealing portion (52) extending from the crown portion (48), and a strut portion (56) having a plurality of struts (86) disposed between the sealing portion (52) and the plunger connection portion (55). The piston (16) of the subject invention provides a compact, high strength, low weight design that is effective in use to provide efficient operation and effectively conduct heat from the piston (16) during use.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a piston (1) with a central cooling chamber (7). Said cooling chamber is located beneath the piston head and is impinged upon by oil. At least the lower wall of the cooling chamber (7) is formed by a plate (9). The aim of the invention is to provide a means of fixing the plate (9) to the piston (1) as easily as possible. To this end, the piston (1) has at least one second pin or clamping sleeve situated above the piston pin (14). Said second piston pin or clamping sleeve (13) has a smaller diameter, extends approximately in the direction of the piston pin axis and is connected to the piston (1). The plate (9) which forms the lower wall of the cooling chamber (7) is supported against the second piston pin or clamping sleeve.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a built-up piston (1) with an upper part (2) made of an iron material and a lower part (3) made of an aluminium alloy. The object of the invention is to increase the loading capacity of the bosses. To that end, the lower part (3) comprises cast-iron or steel gudgeon pin bosses (4) which are screwed at least to the lower part (3).
Abstract:
An economical resistant bearing surface reinforcement is to be provided for a reciprocating piston of an internal combustion engine, especially one using an aluminium alloy as the basic material, especially one such designed for an engine with cylinder running surface of alluminium alloy. To this end, the prior art galvanically applied steel, nickel or chromium coatings are to be replaced by a synthetic-resin-bonded graphite coating with incorporated metal particles. The metal particles may be nickel, steel, bronze, chromium, silver or alloys thereof. The running layer may also be a thin, adhesively secured metal foil. As a further alternative, the bearing layer may also be formed by metal plates secured to the piston body mechanically or by casting.
Abstract:
A piston (10) containing a cavity (16) is manufactured by forming a box (20; 50; 70; 80). The interior of the box defines the cavity (16). The box is mounted in a die cavity (26) and the piston is cast around the box. The box is provided with projections (22c; 24c; 52; 58; 73) which enter recesses in the wall of the die cavity and support the box. After removing the piston from the die cavity, the projections are machined off.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a piston for a four-stroke internal-combustion engine, in particular the engine of a motor vehicle, the piston having a front face (2) and a piston skirt (3) contiguous with the front face (2). The invention calls for only one annular groove (4) to be made in the piston skirt (3) to hold only one piston ring (5).
Abstract:
A vane made of sintered iron alloy containing uniformly dispersed hard carbides and comprising an iron-based matrix. The alloy consists of 0.7 - 1.5 wt% of C, 3.0 - 5.0 wt% of Cr, 0 - 10.0 wt% of Mo, 1 -20.0 wt% of W, 0.5 - 6.0 wt% of V, 0 - 15.0 wt% of Co and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, and has a grain diameter of the hard carbide of up to 5 νm, the total theoretical density ratio of 80 ∩ 90 %, and a macro-hardness of 10 - 45 in terms of the Rockwell C scale by shaping the composition at a pressure of 5 - 8 tons/cm2 and sintering it below 1,250 °C.
