  • a genericdekanalkolben and a method for its preparation is known from DE 100 13 395 C1 known.
  • a piston blank is forged from a steel material, wherein the forging method has the advantage that a material structure is produced with particularly high strength properties. This is necessary to meet the strength requirements when using cooling channel pistons in modern internal combustion engines. These strength requirements result in particular from the ever-increasing combustion pressures and combustion temperatures as well as injection pressures of the fuel in the cylinder chamber of the internal combustion engine.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a cooling channel piston, which is improved compared to the cooling channel piston from the prior art, which meets in particular the required strength requirements during its operation in the cylinder chamber of the internal combustion engine.
  • the cooling channel piston above its piston bosses and piston shafts has an outwardly facing support region, wherein between the lower edge of the ring field and the support region (viewed in the direction of Kolbenhubachse) a closure element is arranged and secured, which the cooling channel after his Production closes.
  • a closure element is arranged and secured, which the cooling channel after his Production closes.
  • closure element is parallel to the Kolbenhubachse (and not transversely, as in the DE 100 13 395 C1 ).
  • DE102005037175 disclose cooling channel piston, in which the cooling channels are covered by a closure element.
  • the closure element consists of a heat-resistant plastic, in particular silicone-based.
  • the closure element either on plastic or steel material base can be formed one or more parts. This leads to a particularly high rigidity and easy installation.
  • a closure element made of a heat-resistant plastic also has the advantage that not only a single closure is possible due to the stability of the plastic, but after a certain period of operation of the piston and its removal from the engine, the plastic closure ring can be removed to the cooling channel to inspect. Thereafter, the cooling channel can be re-closed by a new closure element or even with the previously used closure element, the latter possibility advantageously brings a cost reduction.
  • the closure element is releasably or permanently connected to the lower edge of the ring field and / or to the support region.
  • This detachable connection has the advantage that the closure element can be removed and the cooling channel can be closed again with the same or another closure element.
  • the unsolvable connection has the additional advantage that the rigidity is improved, since the claimed piston crown can be supported on the piston stems during operation.
  • the non-detachable connection can be made selectively, in some areas radially encircling or full circumference.
  • the permanent connection can in a closure element made of a metal material z. B. by soldering or welding, wherein a closure element can be glued from a plastic. Bonding is an advantageous alternative even with a closure element made of a metal material for soldering or welding.
  • the closure element is releasably connected by a clamping with the lower edge of the ring field and the support region, wherein in a particularly advantageous manner, the closure element has at least one shoulder at its upper and / or lower edge, wherein the support region also has a Has at least one paragraph of the closure element corresponding paragraph.
  • the respective paragraph can also be executed in several stages, so that the closure element z. B. is releasably secured by means of a tongue and groove connection to the lower edge of the ring field and / or the support region.
  • the closure element has at least one opening, in a particularly advantageous manner distributed in the radial circumference, a plurality of openings.
  • the opening or the openings is selected so that a certain proportion of the circulating engine oil exits the cooling channel, which serves as lubrication for the piston skirt on the cylinder inner wall of the internal combustion engine.
  • the at least one opening or the plurality of openings is provided in a region in the closure element above the piston shafts of the cooling channel piston.
  • at least one transverse connection is provided between the cooling channel and a piston inner region of the cooling channel piston.
