Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kolben für eine Brennkraftmaschine gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der EP 0 804 680 B1 ist ein Kolben für eine Brennkraftmaschine bekannt, bei dem ein Ringabschnitt oder ein unterer Teil des Ringabschnittes über ein Schweiß- oder Lötverfahren mit dem Kolbenboden bzw. einem oberen Teil des Ringabschnittes verbunden ist. Durch den Ringabschnitt und den Kolbenboden (Basisteil) entsteht ein umlaufender, nach unten freier Raum, der durch ein Bauteil verschlossen wird, so daß ein Kühlkanal entsteht.A piston for an internal combustion engine is known from EP 0 804 680 B1, in which a ring section or a lower part of the ring section is connected to the piston crown or an upper part of the ring section via a welding or soldering process. Through the ring section and the piston crown (base part) creates a circumferential, downwardly free space, which is closed by a component, so that a cooling channel is formed.

Aus der DE 36 43 039 A1 oder der DE 198 46 152 A1 ist ebenfalls ein Kolben bekannt, bei dem ein Ringabschnitt an ein Basisteil des Kolbens angeschweißt wird. Eine umlaufende Wand des Basisteils und das mit dem Basisteil verschweißte Bauteil bilden gemeinsam eine radial-äußere und axial-untere Begrenzungswand eines Kühlkanals. Dieser Kolben weist mehrere in den Kühlkanal gerichtete Bohrungen auf, über welche der Kühlkanal mit einem Kühlmedium, insbesondere Motoröl, versorgt wird. Dieses Kühlmedium wird mit entsprechenden Mitteln in den Kolbeninnenbereich gespritzt und über die Bohrungen dem Kühlkanal zugeführt. Der Abfluß erfolgt ebenfalls über diese Bohrungen.From DE 36 43 039 A1 or DE 198 46 152 A1, a piston is also known, in which a ring portion is welded to a base part of the piston. A circumferential wall of the base part and the component welded to the base part together form a radially outer and an axial-lower boundary wall of a cooling channel. This piston has a plurality of holes directed into the cooling channel, via which the cooling channel is supplied with a cooling medium, in particular engine oil. This cooling medium is injected by appropriate means into the piston inner region and fed via the bores to the cooling channel. The drain also takes place via these holes.

Der Kühlkanal hat den Zweck, daß durch das den Kühlkanal durchströmende Kühlmedium, insbesondere Motoröl, der Kolbenbodenbereich gekühlt wird, um ihn vor Beschädigungen infolge hoher Brennraumtemparaturen zu schützen. Bei den bekannten Bauarten der Kolben ist es erforderlich, den Kühlkanal mit einer Öffnung zu versehen, durch welche das Kühlmedium in den Kühlkanal strömen kann. So stellen die bei der DE 36 43 039 A1 oder der DE 198 46 152 A1 zwischen dem Kühlkanal und dem Innenbereich des Kolbens vorhandenen Bohrungen einen zusätzlichen Herstellungsschritt dar. Gleichzeitig befinden sich diese Bohrungen an einer Stelle im Kolben, die die Festigkeit des Kolbens schwächt.The cooling channel has the purpose that is cooled by the coolant channel flowing through the cooling medium, in particular engine oil, the piston crown area to protect it from damage due to high Brennraumtemparaturen. In the known types of piston, it is necessary to provide the cooling passage with an opening through which the cooling medium can flow into the cooling passage. Thus, in DE 36 43 039 A1 or DE 198 46 152 A1 existing between the cooling channel and the interior of the piston holes represent an additional manufacturing step. At the same time, these holes are located at a point in the piston, which weakens the strength of the piston.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kolben für eine Brennkraftmaschine hinsichtlich seiner Herstellung zu vereinfachen, ohne daß die Stabilität verringert wird.The invention is therefore based on the object to simplify a piston for an internal combustion engine in terms of its production, without the stability is reduced.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Es ist vorgesehen, daß nach der Endbearbeitung des Kolbens zwischen dem Basisteil und dem Ringabschnitt zumindest eine weitere Öffnung, insbesondere ein umlaufender Spalt, vorhanden ist. Durch diese Öffnung (diesen Spalt) kann das Kühlmedium aus dem Kühlkanal abgeführt werden, so daß außer der Öffnung für die Zufuhr des Kühlmediums auf zusätzliche Bohrungen im Kolben verzichtet werden kann. Die Zufuhr des Kühlmediums erfolgt in vorteilhafter über zumindest eine Öffnung, die ebenfalls in dem Ringabschnitt vorgesehen ist. Dadurch sind sämtliche Öffnungen, gleich welcher geometrischer Form, in einem Bereich des Kolbens angeordnet, durch den die Festigkeit des Kolbens nicht beeinträchtigt ist. Die Anordnung einer Öffnung im Basisteil kann damit vermieden werden.It is envisaged that after the finishing of the piston between the base part and the ring portion at least one further opening, in particular a circumferential gap, is present. Through this opening (this gap), the cooling medium can be removed from the cooling channel, so that can be dispensed with additional holes in the piston except the opening for the supply of the cooling medium. The supply of the cooling medium takes place in an advantageous manner via at least one opening, which is likewise provided in the ring section. As a result, all openings, no matter which geometric shape, are arranged in a region of the piston, by which the strength of the piston is not impaired. The arrangement of an opening in the base part can thus be avoided.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung entsteht der Spalt durch die Anbringung und die Form des Ringabschnittes in Bezug auf das Basisteil. Das bedeutet, daß der Ringabschnitt und der korrespondierende Bereich des Basisteils derart aufeinander abgestimmt sind, daß nach Anbringung des Ringabschnittes der Spalt von alleine entsteht. Arbeitsschritte zur Einbringung des Spaltes entfallen damit gänzlich.In development of the invention, the gap is formed by the attachment and the shape of the ring portion with respect to the base part. This means that the ring portion and the corresponding region of the base part are matched to one another such that after attachment of the ring portion, the gap arises by itself. Work steps for introducing the gap are thus eliminated altogether.

In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die weitere Öffnung, insbesondere der Spalt, nach der Anbringung des Ringabschnittes an dem Basisteil eingebracht. Das bedeutet, daß die Form des Ringabschnittes und die korrespondierende Form des Basisteils so aufeinander abgestimmt sind, daß nach Anbringung des Ringabschnittes der Kühlkanal weitestgehend oder vollständig geschlossen ist. Anschließend erfolgt die Einbringung der zumindest einen weiteren Öffnung (des Spaltes), wobei es sich auch anstelle eines umlaufenden Spaltes um mehrere Bohrungen oder teilumfängliche Spalten handeln kann. Hierdurch wird zwar ein weiterer Arbeitsschritt erforderlich, der jedoch deshalb in Kauf genommen werden kann, weil die Öffnung zwecks Zuführung des Kühlmediums in einem Bereich des Kolbens angeordnet ist, durch welchen der Kolbenbodenbereich nicht geschwächt wird.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the further opening, in particular the gap, is introduced after the attachment of the ring section to the base part. This means that the shape of the ring portion and the corresponding shape of the base part are coordinated so that after attachment of the ring portion of the cooling channel is largely or completely closed. Subsequently, the introduction of the at least one further opening (of the gap) takes place, wherein it may also be instead of a circumferential gap to several holes or teilumfängliche columns. Although this requires a further operation, however, it can be accepted because the opening for the purpose of supplying the cooling medium is arranged in a region of the piston through which the piston crown region is not weakened.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Ringabschnitt mittels eines Schweißverfahrens an dem Basisteil anbringbar. Damit kann auf einfache und an sich bekannte Art und Weise der Ringabschnitt nach seiner Herstellung an dem Basisteil angebracht werden. Basisteil und Ringabschnitt können beispielsweise beide im Gießverfahren hergestellt werden. Der Kolben besteht vorzugsweise aus Stahl.In a development of the invention, the ring section can be attached to the base part by means of a welding method. This can be mounted on the base part in a simple and known manner, the ring portion after its production. Base part and ring section can both be produced by casting, for example. The piston is preferably made of steel.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist eine Schweißfuge in einer Flucht mit dem Spalt angeordnet. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß der Fugen- und der Spaltbereich des Basisteiles vor Anbringung des Ringabschnittes mit dem gleichen Maß bearbeitet werden kann.In a further development of the invention, a weld joint is arranged in alignment with the gap. This has the advantage that the joint and the gap region of the base part can be machined prior to attachment of the ring portion with the same degree.

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der vorliegenden Erfindung, auf die diese jedoch nicht beschränkt ist, sind im folgenden beschrieben und anhand der Figuren erläutert.Two embodiments of the present invention, to which, however, is not limited, are described below and explained with reference to the figures.

Es zeigen:

Figur 1:
einen Kolben, bei dem ein Ringabschnitt einen Steg aufweist und
Figur 2:
einen Kolben, bei dem sowohl der Ringabschnitt als auch das Basisteil einen Vorsprung aufweisen.
Show it:
FIG. 1:
a piston in which a ring portion has a web and
FIG. 2:
a piston in which both the ring portion and the base part have a projection.

Figur 1 zeigt ausschnittsweise den Bodenbereich eines Kolbens für eine Brennkraftmaschine. Es handelt sich hierbei um einen Pendelschaftkolben. Auf die übrige Bauart des Kolbens kommt es nicht an, wobei der Vollständigkeit halber auf den Aufbau eines Kolbens auf die Figur 1 nebst zugehöriger Beschreibung der EP 0 804 680 B1 bzw. die Figur 1 nebst zugehöriger Beschreibung der DE 198 46 152 A1 verwiesen wird.Figure 1 shows a detail of the bottom portion of a piston for an internal combustion engine. It is a pendulum piston. The remainder of the design of the piston is not important, for the sake of completeness reference is made to the construction of a piston on FIG. 1 together with the associated description of EP 0 804 680 B1 or FIG. 1 together with the associated description of DE 198 46 152 A1.

Der in Figur 1 gezeigte Kolben weist ein Basisteil 1 auf, wobei im Bodenbereich eine Brennraummulde 2 vorhanden ist. Ein vorgefertigter Ringabschnitt 3, der später die Kolbenringe trägt, wird mittels eines Schweißverfahrens im Bereich einer Schweißfuge 4 an dem Basisteil angebracht. Der Ringabschnitt 3 weist einen Steg 5 auf, der in Richtung des Basisteiles 1 gerichtet ist, aber an diesem nicht zur Anlage kommt, so daß der Steg 5 und der korrespondierende Bereich des Basisteiles 1 einen Spalt 6 bilden. Über diesen Spalt 6 kann einem Kühlkanal 7, der ebenfalls durch die Form des Basisteiles 1 und des Ringabschnittes 3 gebildet ist, Kühlmedium, wie Motoröl, zugeführt werden. Der Spalt 6 ist in den Figuren zwecks Verdeutlichung der geometrischen Ausgestaltung größer dargestellt als in der Realität. Der Spalt 6, das heißt das Spaltmaß, oder aber auch die Größe der einen Öffnung oder mehrerer Öffnungen, ist dabei so zu wählen, daß ein optimaler Volumenfluß in den Kühlknanal 7 hinein und insbesondere über den Spalt 6 heraus gegeben ist. Denn es ist anzustreben, daß das Kühlmedium ausreichend lange Zeit im Kühlkanal 7 verbleibt, um die Wärme aufzunehmen, und rechtzeitig wieder abgeführt wird.
Der Ringabschnitt 3 kann von unten, also über den Kolbenschaft, in seine Endposition geschoben werden, da der Innendurchmesser des Ringabschnittes 3 im Bereich des Steges 5 es nicht gestattet, den Ringabschnitt 3 über den Bodenbereich zu schieben. Dies ist bei Pendelschaftkolben möglich, da der Durchmesser im Bereich des Kolbenschaftes kleiner ist als der Innendurchmesser im Bereich des Steges 5.
The piston shown in Figure 1 has a base part 1, wherein in the bottom region of a combustion bowl 2 is present. A prefabricated ring section 3, which later carries the piston rings, is attached to the base part by means of a welding process in the region of a welding joint 4. The ring portion 3 has a web 5, which is directed in the direction of the base part 1, but does not come to rest on this, so that the web 5 and the corresponding region of the base part 1 form a gap 6. About this gap 6, a cooling channel 7, which is also formed by the shape of the base part 1 and the ring portion 3, cooling medium, such as engine oil, are supplied. The gap 6 is shown larger in the figures for the purpose of illustrating the geometric configuration than in reality. The gap 6, that is, the gap, or even the size of the one or more openings, is to be chosen so that an optimal volume flow into the Kühlknanal 7 in and is given out in particular on the gap 6 out. For it is desirable that the cooling medium sufficiently long time in the cooling channel 7 remains to absorb the heat, and is discharged in good time.
The ring portion 3 can be pushed from below, so over the piston shaft, in its end position, since the inner diameter of the ring portion 3 in the region of the web fifth it is not allowed to push the ring section 3 over the floor area. This is possible with pendulum piston, since the diameter in the region of the piston shaft is smaller than the inner diameter in the region of the web fifth

Figur 2 zeigt einen ähnlichen Aufbau eines Kolbens wie in Figur 1, jedoch mit dem Unterschied, daß sowohl das Basisteil 1 als auch der Ringabschnitt 3 jeweils einander zugewandte Vorsprünge 8 und 9 aufweisen, die den Spalt 6 bilden. Die Vorsprünge 8 und. 9 können gleich oder unterschiedlich lang sein. In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung liegen die Schweißfuge 4 und der Spalt 6 in einer Flucht, so daß dadurch die Bearbeitung der beteiligten Bauteile vereinfacht wird.
Ein in Figur 2 gezeigter Aufbau ist realisierbar sowohl bei Pendelschaft- als auch bei Monoblockkolben, da der Innendurchmesser im Bereich des Vorsprunges 9 (nach der Endmontages des Ringabschnittes 3 auf dem Basisteil 1) auf jeden Fall gleich oder größer ist als der Durchmesser des Bodenbereiches ohne den Ringabschnitt 3. Bei Betrachtung der Figur 2 bedeutet dies, daß, wenn eine senkrechte Linie durch die Schweißfuge 4 gezogen wird, die Stirnseite des Vorsprunges 8 maximal von rechts und die Stirnseite des Vorsprunges 9 maximal von links, unter Bildung des Spaltes 6, an die senkrechte Linie heranreicht. Dies entspricht insbesondere den geometrischen Verhältnissen bei Monoblockkolben, da bei dieser Bauart der Ringabschnitt 3 nur, bei Betrachtung der Figur 2, von oben über den Kolbenbodenbereich aufgeschoben werden kann, wobei die Stirnseite des Vorsprunges 9 nicht nach rechts die senkrechte Linie überschreiten darf. Hingegen kann die Stirnseite des Vorsprunges 9 sowohl bei Pendelschaftkolben als auch bei Monoblockkolben die senkrechte Linie nach links überschreiten.
Figure 2 shows a similar construction of a piston as in Figure 1, but with the difference that both the base part 1 and the ring portion 3 each have mutually facing projections 8 and 9, which form the gap 6. The projections 8 and. 9 can be the same or different lengths. In a preferred embodiment, the welding joint 4 and the gap 6 are in alignment, thereby simplifying the machining of the components involved.
A construction shown in FIG. 2 can be realized both in the case of pendulum and monobloc pistons, since the inner diameter in the area of the projection 9 (after the final assembly of the ring section 3 on the base part 1) is in any case equal to or greater than the diameter of the bottom area without the ring section 3. Looking at the figure 2, this means that when a vertical line is drawn through the weld 4, the front side of the projection 8 maximum from the right and the front side of the projection 9 maximum from the left, forming the gap 6 at the vertical line comes up. This corresponds in particular to the geometric conditions in the case of monoblock pistons, since in this design the ring section 3 can only be slid over the piston crown area from above when viewing FIG. 2, wherein the end face of the protrusion 9 must not exceed the vertical line to the right. By contrast, the front side of the projection 9 can exceed the vertical line to the left, both in the case of pendulum piston and monoblock piston.

In den Figuren ist nicht gezeigt, daß der Ringabschnitt eine zumindest Öffnung aufweist, über die das Kühlmedium mittels geeigneter Mittel in der Brennkraftmaschine in den Kühlkanal eingespritzt wird. Diese Öffnung und die Mittel sind aber auf jeden Fall vorhanden.In the figures, it is not shown that the ring portion has an at least opening through which the cooling medium is injected by suitable means in the internal combustion engine in the cooling channel. This opening and the funds are available in any case.
