Definitions

  • the invention relates to a one-piece cooling channel piston for an internal combustion engine, comprising a piston head forged from steel, comprising a combustion recess in the piston head, a ring wall with a ring section and a closed cooling channel circulating at the level of the ring section, wherein a piston shaft is connected to the hubs attached to the piston head.
  • Generic one-piece cooling channel piston are for example from the EP 0 799 373 B1 or DE 100 13 395 C1 known.
  • a piston blank is prepared by forging, an annular recess and the downwardly open cooling channel introduced by means of a machining and then finished the outer contour of the piston finished.
  • the axial height of the annular recess corresponds to the EP 0 799 373 B1 at least the axial height of the cooling channel. This is necessary because for the preparation of the downwardly open cooling channel a hook-shaped turning tool must be inserted into the recess and rotated by appropriate axial and radial delivery of the cooling channel in its desired shape.
  • the disadvantage of these pistons is that the height of the hook-shaped turning tool determines the cooling channel height to be achieved and thus the amount of heat to be dissipated from the piston crown due to high wall thicknesses.
  • the recess would have to be increased for the introduction of the turning tool, but would be accompanied by an undesirable increase in the height of the piston.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying an improved piston concept for a one-piece cooling channel piston, with which a cost-effective production of low piston height is guaranteed and can be counteracted with the effect of a piston deformation due to the effect of high gas pressures and temperatures.
  • the object is achieved in particular by the fact that a cooling channel formed in the piston head distributed on its circumference to the piston crown directed towards holes with such distances from each other, that the existing between the holes piston material forms support ribs for the piston crown.
  • the cooling channel can be formed closer to the piston head or combustion bowl and still has an excellent dimensional stability with a low piston height.
  • the arrangement of the support ribs a kind of chamber formation in the cooling channel, d. H. Generation of shaker chambers, whereby an extension of the residence time of the cooling oil and thus improved heat dissipation of the piston areas to be cooled is achieved.
  • the cooling effect can be further improved by an increased number of bores in the regions of the cooling channel in which the firing jets strike the piston crown.
  • the one-piece cooling channel piston consists of a forged piston head 1 made of steel or malleable Al alloy with a combustion bowl 3 in its piston crown 2, an annular wall 4 with ring portion 11, at the height of the ring section 11 encircling closed cooling channel 7, wherein a piston skirt 9 with the connected to the piston head 1 hubs 12 is connected.
  • the production of the piston takes place after EP 0 799 373 B1 , wherein before closing the cooling channel 7 by means of a cover 13 according to the invention in the cooling channel 7 holes 14 are provided, which are distributed symmetrically distributed on the circumference and in the direction of the piston head 2, that is parallel to the piston longitudinal axis K introduced.
  • the depth h B of the holes 14 is a maximum of a quarter of the total height H of the cooling channel 7, so that an unhindered cooling oil circuit is ensured.
  • the cooling oil inlet 5 and the cooling oil outlet 10 is arranged opposite in a cooling channel cover 13, which consists of a two-part spring element. Through the cooling channel cover 13, the closure of the cooling channel 7 takes place at its end open to the piston skirt 9.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show, designated between the holes 14 material areas supporting ribs 8, whose width is determined by the distance of the holes 14.
  • the holes 14 are in the cooling channel 7 circumferentially spaced such that it corresponds to at least half the diameter of the holes 14, wherein the bore diameter are all identical. It is, of course, at the discretion of the skilled person, even different bore diameter then the distance should be half of the largest bore diameter to counteract piston deformation during engine operation.
  • the holes 14 and thus the support ribs 8 are, as in Fig. 4 represented, distributed radially symmetrically over the circumference of the cooling channel 7 arranged.
  • the number of holes 14 and thus the distribution of the support ribs 8 may be designed so that a greater number of support ribs 8 is arranged in pressure-back pressure direction D or GD, as transverse to, ie, a unbalanced circumferential distribution in the cooling channel 7 takes place.
  • the distribution of the bores 14 and thus of the support ribs 8 in the cooling channel 7 when it is characterized according to the quadrant formed by the piston main axes K H I - IV be such that within a quadrant a symmetric ( Fig.
  • the cooling effect can be further improved by an increased number of bores in the regions of the cooling channel 7 in which the firing jets of the ignited fuel strike the piston crown 2. As a result, in the load case, the occurring stress loads of the piston can be better countered.
  • the holes 14 can be realized by round holes, as in the FIGS. 4 and 6 shown, or by elongated holes (not shown), which are aligned with its long side in the direction of the piston center radially outward to the piston wall. With these respective embodiments of the bore arrangements is achieved that they have different distances and thus the formed as a support ribs 8 material is increased. Decisive for the spacing of the bores is that this corresponds from the bore axis to the bore axis circumferentially at least half of the largest bore diameter used.
  • the tips of the holes 14 may be round or, as in Fig. 1 shown to be angled.
  • the axes of the holes 14 can, as Fig. 1 shows, parallel to the piston longitudinal axis K and / or, that is, in combination, to be arranged at an acute angle thereto, the bores preferably in the direction of the piston head 2 and the combustion bowl 3 show.
