  • a piston of the aforementioned type is known from PCT application WO 02/33291.
  • This piston has a close to the bottom of the cooling chamber and the cooling channel arranged oil passage, which connects the cooling chamber with the cooling channel, and in particular prevents the formation of ⁇ iesammiung in Riehiraum and thus deteriorates the cooling of the thermally highly loaded piston crown, because the oil in the refrigerator can flow back into the cooling channel via the oil passage, and only then oil flows from the cooling passage into the cooling space when the oil level of the oil in the cooling passage is higher than the level of the oil in the cooling space. This also obstructs the flow of oil from the cooling channel through the cooling chamber to the oil drain opening, which reduces the flow of cool oil and thus leads to a further deterioration of the cooling of the piston crown.
  • Object of the present invention is to avoid this disadvantage of the prior art, and to improve the cooling of the thermally high-stress piston crown.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un piston (3) pour un moteur à combustion interne, comportant une partie supérieure pourvue d'un collet (7) formé sur la partie supérieure, qui présente une nervure annulaire (12), et une partie inférieure (2) présentant une paroi (20) et un support (25) situé radialement à l'intérieur de la paroi (20). Lors de la liaison de la partie supérieure (1) et de la partie inférieure (2) par soudage par friction, les surfaces frontales (16, 17, 23, 26) de la nervure annulaire (12), du collet (7), de la paroi (20) et du support (25) forment des surfaces de soudage par friction. Un canal de refroidissement (9) et un espace de refroidissement (14) sont ainsi formés. Pour l'alimentation du canal de refroidissement (9) et de l'espace de refroidissement (14) en huile de refroidissement, la nervure annulaire (12) comporte des perçages radiaux (15) reliant le canal de refroidissement (9) à l'espace de refroidissement (14). Ceci garantit qu'une quantité résiduelle suffisante d'huile de refroidissement s'accumule dans le canal de refroidissement (9) et l'espace de refroidissement (14), celle-ci étant constamment renouvelée et assurant un bon refroidissement de la base du piston (5).
