Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Zylinderkurbelgehäuse mit mindestens einer Zylinderlaufbuchse nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cylinder crankcase with at least one cylinder liner according to the preamble of claim 1.

Zur Begegnung der hohen Verschleißbedingung, die in modernen Motoren im Bereich der Zylinderlauffläche auftreten, werden insbesondere in Leichtmetallmotoren Zylinderlaufbuchsen eingesetzt, die gegenüber dem Umgussmaterial eine höhere Verschleißbeständigkeit aufweisen.To meet the high wear condition that occur in modern engines in the area of the cylinder surface, cylinder liners are used in particular in light metal engines, which have a higher wear resistance compared to the Umgussmaterial.

Eine grundsätzliche Herausforderung beim Eingießen von Zylinderlaufbuchsen in ein Zylinderkurbelgehäuse besteht darin, eine gute Verbindung zwischen dem Zylinderkurbelgehäuse und der Zylinderlaufbuchse zu schaffen. Hierbei muss bereits beim Eingießen des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses möglichst eine feste Verbindung hergestellt werden.A fundamental challenge in casting cylinder liners into a cylinder crankcase is to provide a good connection between the cylinder crankcase and the cylinder liner. Here, as far as possible when casting the cylinder crankcase a solid connection must be made.

Eine Verbesserung der Verbindung zwischen Zylinderkurbelgehäuse und Zylinderlaufbuchse kann beispielsweise durch eine Oberflächenbehandlung der Zylinderlaufbuchse erzielt werden, hierbei sei exemplarisch die DE 101 53 305 A1 genannt. Andererseits kann durch die geometrische Ausgestaltung des Gießwerkzeuges der Schmelzenfluss in derart gesteuert werden, dass entlang der Außenseite der Zylinderlaufbuchse eine möglichst hohe Strömungsgeschwindigkeit erzielt wird und dadurch eine störende Oxidhaut auf der Oberfläche der Zylinderlaufbuchse aufgebrochen wird. Ein Beispiel für diese Maßnahme wird in der DE 101 53 721 A1 gegeben. In der DE 198 53 803 C1 ist eine Zylinderlaufbuchse offenbart, die an einer Ölraumseite des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses eine Fase aufweist.An improvement in the connection between the cylinder crankcase and cylinder liner can be achieved, for example, by a surface treatment of the cylinder liner, here is an example of the DE 101 53 305 A1 called. On the other hand, can be controlled by the geometric configuration of the casting of the melt flow in such a way that along the outside of the cylinder liner the highest possible flow rate is achieved and thereby a disruptive oxide skin is broken on the surface of the cylinder liner. An example of this measure is in the DE 101 53 721 A1 given. In the DE 198 53 803 C1 a cylinder liner is disclosed which has a chamfer on an oil chamber side of the cylinder crankcase.

Die JP-10 220278-A zeigt ein Kurbelgehäuse mit einer in diesem eingegossenen Zylinderlaufbuchse, die an ihrem dem Zylinderkopf zugewandten Ende umfangsseitig eine ringförmige Aussparung aufweist, in die ein anorganischer Faserkörper eingelassen ist. Der Faserkörper erstreckt sich dabei radial in eine ebenfalls ringförmige Aussparung des Kurbelgehäuses.The JP-10 220278-A shows a crankcase with a cast-in this cylinder liner, which has on its side facing the cylinder head circumferentially an annular recess in which an inorganic fiber body is embedded. The fiber body extends radially into a likewise annular recess of the crankcase.

Des Weiteren ist aus der DE 197 55 557 C1 eine Gießform zur Herstellung eines Motorblocks entnehmbar, bei der in einer ringförmigen Vertiefung eine Zylinderlaufbuchse aufgenommen ist, deren Wandung vertiefungsnah einen axial zur Vertiefung beabstandeten Absatz aufweist. In den Abstand dringt beim Gießvorgang die flüssige Gussmasse, so dass die Zylinderlaufbuchse vom erstarrenden Guss dort umgriffen wird. Zur fertigen Herstellung des Kurbelgehäuses mit der eingegossenen Zylinderlaufbuchse, wird deren Wandung so weit abgearbeitet, dass der Absatz verschwindet. Hierbei wird auch ein schmaler Abschnitt des Umgusses abgetragen, so dass der Umguss mit der Innenwandung des verbliebenen Teils der Zylinderlaufbuchse bündig abschließt.Furthermore, from the DE 197 55 557 C1 a mold for the preparation of an engine block can be removed, in which an annular recess in a cylinder liner is received, the wall near the recess has an axially spaced recess to the recess. During casting, the liquid casting compound penetrates into the gap, so that the cylinder liner is gripped by the solidifying casting. For the finished production of the crankcase with the cast-in cylinder liner, the wall is processed so far that the paragraph disappears. Here, a narrow portion of the encapsulation is removed, so that the encapsulation is flush with the inner wall of the remaining part of the cylinder liner.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine verbesserte Anbindung zwischen der Zylinderlaufbuchse und dem Zylinderkurbelgehäuse.bereitzustellen.The object of the invention is to provide an improved connection between the cylinder liner and the cylinder crankcase.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe besteht in einem Zylinderkurbelgehäuse mit mindestens einer Zylinderlaufbuchse mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.The solution of the problem consists in a cylinder crankcase with at least one cylinder liner with the features of claim 1.

Das Zylinderkurbelgehäuse nach Patentanspruch 1 weist mindestens eine Zylinderlaufbuchse auf. Die folgende Anordnung der Zylinderlaufbuchsen ist somit für alle Brennkraftmaschinen beliebiger Anzahl von mit Zylinderlaufbuchsen geeignet. Die Zylinderlaufbuchse ist in das Zylinderkurbelgehäuse eingegossen, wobei die Zylinderlaufbuchse im Zylinderkurbelgehäuse von einer Zylinderkopfseite zu einer Ölraumseite verläuft. Die Zylinderlaufbuchse weist eine Innenseite auf, die ein sogenanntes Zylinderrohr bildet und sie weist eine Außenseite auf, die von Zylinderkurbelgehäuse direkt umgossen ist.The cylinder crankcase according to claim 1 has at least one cylinder liner. The following arrangement of the cylinder liners is thus suitable for all internal combustion engines of any number of cylinder liners. The cylinder liner is molded into the cylinder crankcase, with the cylinder liner in the cylinder crankcase extending from a cylinder head side to an oil chamber side. The cylinder liner has an inner side which forms a so-called cylinder tube and has an outer side which is directly encapsulated by the cylinder crankcase.

Das Zylinderkurbelgehäuse nach Anspruch 1 zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Zylinderlaufbuchse an mindestens einem Ende, d.h. entweder ölraumseitig oder zylinderkopfseitig an der Innenseite, in axialer Richtung gesehen, länger ist als an der Außenseite. Hierbei ist der Übergang von der Innenseite zur Außenseite in Form von umlaufenden, konzentrischen Stufen ausgestaltet.The cylinder crankcase according to claim 1 is characterized in that the cylinder liner at at least one end, i. either oil space side or cylinder head side on the inside, seen in the axial direction, is longer than on the outside. Here, the transition from the inside to the outside in the form of circumferential concentric steps is designed.

Beim Eingießen des Gießmetalls in einen Formhohlraum zur Ausbildung des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses trifft die Schmelze auf die, bereits im Formhohlraum fixierte Zylinderlaufbuchse, wobei der Schmelzenfluss in derart gerichtet ist, dass er zuerst auf ein Ende der Zylinderlaufbuchse zielt. Durch die Stufen, die an diesem Ende der Zylinderlaufbuchse angebracht sind, wird die Schmelze verwirbelt, wodurch die Oxidhaut, die auf der Oberfläche der Zylinderlaufbuchse vorhanden ist, in diesen Bereich aufgebrochen wurde und ein besseres Anschmelzen des Gießmetalles an die Zylinderlaufbuchse erzielt wird.As the cast metal is poured into a mold cavity to form the cylinder crankcase, the melt impinges upon the cylinder liner already fixed in the mold cavity, the melt flow being directed such that it first targets one end of the cylinder liner. By the steps, which are attached to this end of the cylinder liner, the melt is fluidized, whereby the oxide skin, which is present on the surface of the cylinder liner has been broken into this area and a better melting of the casting metal is achieved to the cylinder liner.

Gegenüber einer Zylinderlaufbuchse, die an ihrer Unterseite rechtwinklig ausgestaltet ist, weist die erfindungsgemäße abgestufte Zylinderlaufbuchse den Vorteil auf, dass ein Setzen der Zylinderlaufbuchse in Richtung eines Ölraumes des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses unterbunden wird. Dies liegt daran, dass der Bereich, der durch die abgestufte Zylinderlaufbuchse ausgespart ist, durch das Gießmetall ausgefüllt ist und somit im festen Zusammenhang mit dem eigentlichen Körper des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses steht. Ein Abrutschen der Zylinderlaufbuchse wird durch diesen Umguss verhindert. Durch die Abstufung der Zylinderlaufbuchse wird ein Setzen der Zylinderlaufbuchse stärker unterbunden, als wenn die Buchse mit einer herkömmlichen geraden Fase ausgestaltet wäre.Compared to a cylinder liner, which is configured at right angles to its underside, the stepped cylinder liner according to the invention has the advantage that a setting the cylinder liner is prevented in the direction of an oil chamber of the cylinder crankcase. This is because the region recessed by the stepped cylinder liner is filled by the casting metal and is thus fixedly connected to the actual body of the cylinder crankcase. Slipping of the cylinder liner is prevented by this encapsulation. Due to the gradation of the cylinder liner setting of the cylinder liner is prevented more than if the socket would be configured with a conventional straight chamfer.

Gegenüber einer geraden Fase weist die Stufenform des Buchsenendes noch den Vorteil auf, dass eine Anschmelzoberfläche, die der Schmelze zur Verbindung mit der Zylinderlaufbuchse zur Verfügung steht, vergrößert wird. Beispielsweise beträgt die Vergrößerung der Anschmelzoberfläche gegenüber einer 45°-Fase bei einer rechtwinkligen Stufenform das wurzelzweifache, demnach also eine Vergrößerung um etwa 40%.Compared to a straight bevel, the stepped shape of the bushing end still has the advantage that a melting surface, which is available to the melt for connection to the cylinder liner, is increased. For example, the enlargement of the melting surface compared to a 45 ° bevel in a rectangular step shape is the root-double, therefore an enlargement of about 40%.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung sind die Stufen an die Zylinderlaufbuchse an einer Ölraumseite angebracht, da der Anguss der Schmelze und somit der Schmelzenstrom bei den meisten Zylinderkurbelgehäusen von einer Ölraumseite her erfolgt. Grundsätzlich kann es jedoch auch zweckmäßig sein, bei einer anderen Angießtechnik die Zylinderkopfseite der Zylinderlaufbuchse stufig auszugestalten. In diesem Fall würde bezüglich des Angießens der Schmelze dieselbe vorteilhafte Wirkung, nämlich das bessere Angießen bei einer höheren Angießoberfläche erzielt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the stages are attached to the cylinder liner on an oil chamber side, since the casting of the melt and thus the melt flow takes place in most cylinder crankcases from an oil chamber side. In principle, however, it may also be expedient to structurally design the cylinder head side of the cylinder liner in another sprue technique. In this case, the same advantageous effect, namely the better casting at a higher sprue surface would be achieved with respect to the casting of the melt.

Es hat sich sowohl von der Seite der Herstellungstechnik als auch von der Wirkungsweise der Stufen im eingegossenen Zustand herausgestellt, dass eine vorteilhafte Anzahl an Stufen pro Ende zwischen zwei und sechs beträgt.It has been found, both from the side of the manufacturing technique as well as the operation of the steps in the cast state, that an advantageous number of stages per end between two and six.

Insbesondere wenn die Zylinderlaufbuchse von einem Rohr abgetrennt wird, ist es hierfür zweckmäßig, einen gestuften Abstechmeißel anzuwenden. Hierbei wird allein durch das Abstechen der Zylinderlaufbuchse von dem Rohr bereits die Stufung eingebracht, was einen zusätzlichen Arbeitsschritt verhindern kann.In particular, when the cylinder liner is separated from a pipe, it is expedient to apply a stepped cutting tool. Here, the gradation is already introduced by the tapping of the cylinder liner of the pipe, which can prevent an additional step.

In Figur 1 ist eine schematisierte, vereinfachte Abbildung eines Zylinderkurbelgehäuses mit einem Zylinderrohr 12, das von einer, in das Zylinderkurbelgehäuse 4 eingegossenen Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 gebildet wird, dargestellt. Die Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 weist ein Ende 18 auf, das sich an einer Zylinderkopfseite 6 des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses 4 befindet und sie weist ein Ende 16 auf, das sich an einer Ölraumseite 8 des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses 4 befindet (ölraumseitiges Ende 16).1 shows a schematic, simplified illustration of a cylinder crankcase with a cylinder tube 12, which is formed by a cylinder liner 2 cast into the cylinder crankcase 4. The cylinder liner 2 has an end 18 which is located on a cylinder head side 6 of the cylinder crankcase 4 and has an end 16 which is located on an oil chamber 8 side of the cylinder crankcase 4 (oil space side end 16).

Die Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 weist eine Innenseite 10 auf, die das Zylinderrohr 12 umgibt, wobei in dem Zylinderrohr 12 ein Kolben 28 axial bewegbar angeordnet ist. Ferner weist die Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 eine Außenseite 14 auf, an die das Zylinderkurbelgehäuse 4 durch Umgießen angegossen ist.The cylinder liner 2 has an inner side 10 which surrounds the cylinder tube 12, wherein in the cylinder tube 12, a piston 28 is arranged axially movable. Further, the cylinder liner 2 has an outer side 14, to which the cylinder crankcase 4 is cast by casting.

Am ölraumseitigen Ende 16 ist die Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 in derart ausgestaltet, dass sie an ihrer Innenseite 10 bezüglich der axialen Richtung 20 länger ist als an der Außenseite 14. Der Übergang erfolgt durch, in diesem Fall vier rechtwinklige, radial umlaufende Stufen 22.At the oil-chamber-side end 16, the cylinder liner 2 is designed in such a way that it is longer on its inner side 10 with respect to the axial direction 20 than on the outer side 14. The transition takes place through, in this case, four right-angled, radially encircling steps 22.

Die Pfeile 30 veranschaulichen schematisch den Verlauf eines Schmelzenstroms beim Gießen des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses 4. Dieser Schmelzenstrom trifft auf die Stufen 22 der Zylinderlaufbuchse 2. Durch das Auftreffen des flüssigen Metalles, in diesem Beispiel eine Aluminiumlegierung, wird dieses verwirbelt, wobei eine, auf der Oberfläche der Zylinderlaufbuchse anhaftende Oxidhaut aufgebrochen wird. Beim Erstarren des Gießmetalles entsteht eine feste, durch Legieren hervorgegangene Verbindung zwischen der Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 und dem Zylinderkurbelgehäuse 4.The arrows 30 schematically illustrate the course of a melt stream when casting the cylinder crankcase 4. This melt stream impinges on the steps 22 of the cylinder liner 2. The impact of the liquid metal, in this example an aluminum alloy, this is swirled, one on the surface of the Cylinder liner adhering oxide skin is broken. Upon solidification of the casting metal, a solid, resulting by alloying connection between the cylinder liner 2 and the cylinder crankcase 4.

Die Vorsprünge 32, die einen Teil des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses 4 bilden, verhindern weiterhin, dass die Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 unter Krafteinwirkung in Richtung der Ölraumseite 8 bewegt wird. Somit wird ein sogenanntes Setzen der Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 verhindert.The projections 32, which form part of the cylinder crankcase 4, further prevent the cylinder liner 2 is moved under the action of force in the direction of the oil chamber 8 side. Thus, a so-called setting of the cylinder liner 2 is prevented.

In Figur 2 ist ein Teilschnitt durch eine Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 dargestellt, die ebenfalls rechtwinklige Stufen aufweist.FIG. 2 shows a partial section through a cylinder liner 2, which likewise has right-angled steps.

Die Figuren 3 a bis c zeigen Stufenformen, die von dem rechtwinkligen Querschnitt abweichen. Grundsätzlich kann es zweckmäßig sein, dass wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, die Stufenkanten abgerundet sind. Ebenfalls kann es zweckmäßig sein, insbesondere unter Berücksichtung der Fertigungstechnik, dass die Stufen sowohl in vertikaler als auch in horizontaler Richtung von einer Rechtwinkligkeit abweichen (Figur 3b, 3c).FIGS. 3 a to c show step shapes that deviate from the rectangular cross section. In principle, it may be appropriate that, as shown in Figure 3, the step edges are rounded. It may also be expedient, in particular taking into account the production technology, that the steps deviate from a perpendicularity both in the vertical and in the horizontal direction (FIGS. 3b, 3c).

In Figur 4 ist schematisch ein Rohr 26 dargestellt, von dem eine Zylinderlaufbuchse abgetrennt wird. Hierzu wird ein Abstechmeißel 24 eingesetzt, der eine gestufte Kontur 34 aufweist, die beim Abdrehen der hier nicht dargestellten Zylinderlaufbuchse 2 die Abstufung 22 einbringt. Der gestufte Drehmeißel 24 hat den Vorteil, dass die Stufung 22 direkt beim Abdrehen der Zylinderlaufbuchse eingebracht wird. Ein möglicher zusätzlicher Verfahrensschritt, der eventuell durch das nachträgliche Einbringen der Stufen nötig wäre, wird so vermieden.In Figure 4, a pipe 26 is shown schematically, from which a cylinder liner is separated. For this purpose, a Abstechmeißel 24 is used, which has a stepped contour 34, which brings the gradation 22 during turning of the cylinder liner 2, not shown here. The stepped turning tool 24 has the advantage that the step 22 is introduced directly when turning the cylinder liner. A possible additional process step, which would possibly be necessary by the subsequent introduction of the steps, is thus avoided.
