Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-piece cooled piston for an internal combustion engine with a steel forged piston upper part comprising a combustion bowl and a ring wall with ring portion, and a piston lower part having a piston skirt, hubs for receiving the piston connecting the piston rod with the piston and the piston shaft connected hub supports, and a method for producing such a piston.
  • a multi-part cooled piston for an internal combustion engine is from the JP 61175255 A known.
  • This piston shows, at the level of the ring portion of the piston, a number of ribs between which a heat-insulating plate for minimizing heat transfer from the combustion bowl to the ring section is arranged.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a piston concept for a multi-part cooled piston, with which a cost-effective production is ensured and can be counteracted with the effect of a piston deformation due to the effect of high gas pressures and temperatures.
  • a method for producing a multi-part cooled piston in which by forging a blank, the piston upper part is provided with support ribs in the cooling channel, which form radial sections of a circumferential annular rib radially to the piston longitudinal axis.
  • the piston upper part further comprises a combustion bowl and a ring wall with a ring portion. Subsequently, the thus forged blank is pre-machined by machining the connecting surface for joining.
  • hub support and piston skirt forged piston bottom is provided with an annular circumferential, connecting the hub supports support rib and is also pre-machined after joining for joining.
  • the subsequent joining or joining of the annular rib of the upper piston part with the support rib of the piston lower part takes place by means of a welding or soldering process.
  • the thus-joined piston blank is finished to a piston usable in an engine.
  • the support ribs can be manufactured or arranged distributed radially symmetrically and / or asymmetrically, for example by a larger number in the pressure counter-pressure direction of the piston, over the circumference of the cooling duct.
  • the cooling channel can be formed closer to the piston crown or combustion bowl and nevertheless has excellent dimensional stability.
  • 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 inventive solution piston upper parts made of heat-resistant steel and piston bottoms, consisting of forged AFP steel, particularly easy and inexpensive to manufacture and connectable.
  • the multi-part cooled piston 20 consists of a forged piston upper part 1 with a combustion bowl 3, ring wall 4 with ring portion 11 and a cooling channel 7 and a piston lower part 2, the piston shaft 9 and hub supports 6, as from Fig. 5 can be seen.
  • support ribs 8 are provided, which are arranged in the region towards the piston head and extending in the direction of the cooling channel 7 in.
  • the height h of the support ribs 8 amounts to a maximum of half the total height H of the cooling channel 7, so that an unhindered cooling oil circuit is ensured.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show the support ribs 8 go radially to the piston longitudinal axis K in sections of an annular rib 5, which forms the annular rib 5 in their entirety.
  • the support ribs 8 are, as in Fig. 4 represented, radially symmetrically with an angle ⁇ , relative to the piston main axes K H , arranged distributed by 45 degrees of angle over the circumference of the cooling channel 7.
  • the distribution of the support ribs 8 may be designed such that in pressure-back pressure direction of the piston D and GD, a larger number of support ribs 8 is arranged, as transverse to it, ie, a single-ended circumferential distribution in the cooling channel 7, takes place.
  • annular circumferential support rib 10 is formed, as seen from Fig. 3 can be seen, which corresponds in their geometric dimensions with the annular rib 5.
  • the upper piston part 1 and lower piston part 2 is connected to each other via the support and annular ribs 10 and 5 by means of a welding or soldering process.
  • the upper piston part 1 is advantageously formed of an oxidation-resistant and / or heat-resistant material and the lower piston part 2 of a precipitation-hardening ferritic-pearlitic steel or tempered steel.
  • the method of manufacturing the piston top and piston bottoms 1 and 2 usually begins with the upsetting of a steel bar section, a so-called billet, followed by forming, the pre-engraving, to make the individual elements the respective piston part, such as cooling channel 7, the support ribs 8, combustion bowl 3 etc. or hub support 6 etc., a finished engraving in which material overhangs are removed, a subsequent burring, a subsequent heat treatment for stress relief in the material, a cleaning of the forged piston parts For example, sandblasting and the subsequent processing of the joining surfaces by machining.
  • the piston upper part 1 and piston lower part 2 thus produced is non-releasably connected by means of a welding or soldering process via the joining surfaces of the ring and support ribs 5 and 10, wherein subsequently a finishing of the piston 20 to a piston which can be used in a motor is carried out by means of machining.
