Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gußform für den Zylinderblock einer Brennkraftmaschine mit zwei in VForm angeordneten Zylinderreihen mit Kernen zur Formung des Kurbelraumes und der Zylinderbohrungen, siehe beispielsweise DE-C-35 43 194.The invention relates to a mold for the Cylinder block of an internal combustion engine with two in V-shaped rows of cylinders with cores for Shaping the crank chamber and the cylinder bores, see for example DE-C-35 43 194.

Bekannte Gießformen für den Zylinderblock von V-Motoren bestehen aus einer Unterkastenform und einer Oberkastenform, welche im wesentlichen die Außenkontur festlegen, und einer Vielzahl von Kernen, die das Kurbelgehäuse, die Zylinderbohrungen sowie die Wasser- und Ölräume formen. Die Kerne sind bei diesen bekannten Gießformen für jeden einzelnen Kurbelraumabschnitt getrennt ausgeführt. Dies bedeutet, daß für jeweils zwei Zylinder ein Kurbelraumkern, zwei Zylinderbohrungskerne sowie diverse Wassermantel- und Ölraumkerne vorzusehen sind. Durch diese große Anzahl von Kernen wird der Aufwand bei der Kernmontage erhöht, wodurch diese insbesondere durch die Verankerung der einzelnen Kerne durch Kernstützen, Kernnägel erschwert wird. Außerdem werden die Gußtoleranzen durch die Addition der einzelnen Spiele zwischen den Kernen erhöht, sodaß die erforderlichen Wandstärken größer als erforderlich gewählt werden müssen, um auch im ungünstigsten Fall die erforderliche Mindestwandstärke nicht zu unterschreiten.Known molds for the cylinder block V-engines consist of a bottom box shape and an upper box shape, which essentially define the outer contour, and a variety of Cores, the crankcase, the cylinder bores as well as the water and oil spaces. The cores are in these known molds for each crankcase section separately executed. This means that for every two Cylinder a crankcase core, two cylinder bore cores as well as various water jacket and oil chamber cores are to be provided. Because of this large number The effort involved in core assembly becomes a matter of cores increased, making this particular by anchoring the individual cores through Core supports, core nails is difficult. Furthermore are the casting tolerances by adding the individual games between the cores increased so that the required wall thicknesses larger than required must be chosen in order to worst case, the required minimum wall thickness not to fall below.

Ein weiteres Problem bei den bekannten Gießformen besteht darin, daß die Hauptlagerwände einerseits den Freigang der Kurbelwellengegengewichte gewährleisten müssen, andererseits aber auch den Freilauf des Honwerkzeuges sicherstellen müssen. Um die aus gußtechnischen Gründen erforderliche minimale Wandstärke nicht zu unterschreiten, sind hier, speziell bei langhubigen Motoren, schwierige konstruktive Probleme zu lösen.Another problem with the known molds consists of the main bearing walls on the one hand, the clearance of the crankshaft counterweights must guarantee, on the other hand also ensure that the honing tool is free-running have to. To the necessary for casting reasons not to fall below the minimum wall thickness, are here, especially for long-stroke engines, to solve difficult constructive problems.

Aus der AT-PS 387 164 ist eine Gießform für Reihenbrennkraftmaschinen bekannt, die die oben beschriebenenn Nachteile vermeidet. Dabei wird vorgeschlagen, denn Basiskern mit den Wassermantelkernen einstückig auszubilden.AT-PS 387 164 is a casting mold for Series internal combustion engines known to the above avoids disadvantages. Doing so proposed, because basic core with the water jacket cores train in one piece.

Ein solches Konzept ist aber für V-Motoren nicht praktisch anwendbar, da ein solcher Kern durch die teilweise Überdeckung der Zylinderbohrung mit der Hauptlagerwand nicht herstellbar ist.However, such a concept is for V engines not practical because of such a core due to the partial overlap of the cylinder bore cannot be produced with the main bearing wall.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Gießform zu schaffen, bei der diese Nachteile nicht auftreten und die auf einfache Weise eine sehr genaue Herstellung des Zylinderblockes ermöglicht, sodaß durch minimale Gußtoleranzen auch minimale Wandstärken erzielbar sind.The object of the present invention is to create a mold that has these disadvantages do not occur and the simple one enables very precise manufacture of the cylinder block, through minimal casting tolerances minimal wall thicknesses can also be achieved.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ein einziger Basiskern vorgesehen, auf dem eine einzige einstückig ausgeführte Zylinderbohrungskerngruppe aufsetzbar ist.According to the invention provided a single base core on which a single unitary cylinder bore core group is attachable.

Bei der Ausführung mit einem Basiskern und einer einzigen Zylinderbohrungskerngruppe ist der Guß genauer und die Kernmontage einfacher.When running with a base core and a single cylinder bore core group the casting is more precise and the core assembly easier.

Wesentlich dabei ist, daß die Kurbelräume und Zylinderbohrungen des gesamten Motors mit nur zwei Kernen hergestellt werden. Insgesamt sind für einen typischen Motor nur sieben bzw. acht Kerne erforderlich, nämlich:

  • Der Basiskern,
  • eine Zylinderbohrungskerngruppe,
  • je ein Wassermantelkern für jede Zylinderreihe,
  • ein V-Kern für den Abschluß im Zylinderkopfbereich, sowie gegebenenfalls
  • ein vorderer und ein hinterer Kern.
It is essential that the crankcases and cylinder bores of the entire engine are made with only two cores. In total, only seven or eight cores are required for a typical motor, namely:
  • The basic core,
  • a cylinder bore core group,
  • one water jacket core for each row of cylinders,
  • a V-core for the end in the cylinder head area, and if necessary
  • a front and a back core.

Auf diese Weise werden minimale Toleranzen gewährleistet, sodaß ein genauer Guß und damit eine sehr leichte Bauweise des Zylinderblocks erreicht wird.This way there are minimal tolerances guaranteed so that an accurate casting and thus achieved a very light construction of the cylinder block becomes.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Zylinderbohrungskerngruppe aus einer Mehrzahl von Zylinderbohrungskernen besteht, die über Stege am Fuß der Zylinder miteinander verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise entstehen in den Hauptlagerwänden mindestens zwei zusätzliche Ausnehmungen, die durch die Stege hervorgerufen werden und es wird gleichzeitig erreicht, daß die Freigänge des Honwerkzeuges bzw. der Kurbelwellengegengewichte in jedem Fall gewährleistet sind. Außerdem wird durch die Stege eine solide Verbindung der einzelnen Zylinderbohrungskerne erreicht. Die Teile der Zylinderbohrungskerngruppe für die beiden Zylinderreihen sind in der Mittelebene des Motors über Ölführungskanalkerne miteinander verbunden.It is particularly advantageous if the cylinder bore core group from a plurality of cylinder bore cores consists of webs on Foot of the cylinders are interconnected. On this is how they appear in the main warehouse walls at least two additional recesses that be caused by the webs and it will at the same time achieved that the clearances of the honing tool or the crankshaft counterweights are guaranteed in any case. Besides, will through the webs a solid connection of the individual Cylinder bore cores reached. The parts of the Cylinder bore core group for the two rows of cylinders are over in the middle plane of the engine Oil guide channel cores connected to each other.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß an den Zylinderbohrungskerngruppen Fortsätze angeordnet sind, die im wesentlichen parallel zu den Zylinderachsen verlaufen und Ölrücklaufkanäle formen, die in Versteifungsrippen angeordnet sind, die die Butzen für die Zylinderkopfschrauben mit den Hauptlagern verbinden. Auf diese Weise wird die durch die konstruktiv bedingten Durchbrechungen der Hauptlagerwände verminderte Steifheit des Zylinderblocks kompensiert. Im Gegenteil wird sogar durch die besondere Kastenform der Versteifungsrippen eine günstige Krafteinleitung erreicht, was zu geringen Deformationen des Zylinderblocks beim Betrieb der Brennkraftmaschine führt. Gleichzeitig wird der Ölumlauf verbessert.In a particularly preferred further training the invention provides that on the cylinder bore core groups Extensions are arranged, which are essentially parallel to the cylinder axes run and form oil return channels that in stiffening ribs are arranged, the slugs for the cylinder head bolts with the main bearings connect. In this way, the design-related openings in the main bearing walls reduced rigidity of the cylinder block compensated. On the contrary, even through the special box shape of the stiffening ribs achieved a favorable force introduction, which is too low Deformation of the cylinder block during operation the internal combustion engine leads. At the same time the oil circulation is improved.

Eine besonders einfache Kernanordnung wird dadurch erzielt, daß für jede Zylinderreihe ein einziger Wassermantelkern vorgesehen ist.A particularly simple core arrangement is achieved in that a single for each row of cylinders Water jacket core is provided.
