- Cooling channel piston in which in the piston upper part (also called the piston head), a cooling channel (also called cooling chamber) is arranged, are known.
- the cooling channel has at least one opening into which a cooling medium is introduced. After this has passed the cooling channel, it leaves the cooling channel at another opening or at the same opening.
- DE 10 201 1 007 285 A1 relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine having a piston upper part and a piston lower part, an inner, preferably annular cooling channel for cooling the piston during operation of the internal combustion engine and at least one inlet opening arranged on the piston lower part and at least one outlet opening arranged on the piston lower part via which a coolant inflow and outflow takes place into or out of the cooling channel, the at least one inlet opening and / or the at least one outlet opening being surrounded by an annular bead or a ramp-like elevation, which is a lowering of a coolant level below a predefined level prevents, and is integrally formed with the piston lower part.
- the annular bead can only be created at the height of the displaced material.
- the object of the invention is therefore to be able to adjust the coolant level in a wider range and to provide a method for adjusting the coolant level in the cooling channel. This object is achieved by a piston and method having the features of the independent claims.
- a piston in particular for an internal combustion engine, having a piston lower part and a piston upper part, an inner, preferably annular cooling channel and at least one inlet opening arranged on the piston lower part and at least one outlet opening arranged on the piston lower part, via which a coolant inflow and outflow into the cooling channel or takes place from this, wherein the at least one inlet opening and / or the at least one outlet opening is / are formed by a passage and this is formed integrally with the piston lower part, wherein the at least one passage has a thread into which at least one tubular element is inserted.
- any elements can be screwed into the piston, for example tubular elements, which can be flowed through by coolant.
- a subsequent assembly can take place with regard to the coolant level in the cooling channel of the piston.
- the pistons in question can be made equal to this step.
- the at least one passage terminates flush with the surface of a cooling passage wall.
- the coolant level can be adjusted freely via the engagement length of a tubular element. There is thus no minimum level.
- the at least one passage has at least one collar. As a result, a gain of the thread to be introduced there is achieved.
- connection between the piston and the screwed-in component becomes stronger. Furthermore, it is inventively provided that the at least one collar is formed on the side facing the bolt holes side of the cooling channel wall. As a result, the at least one passage can be created on the piston connected from the lower piston part and upper piston part.
- the at least one collar is formed on the side facing away from the bolt holes side of the cooling channel wall and thus protrudes into the cooling channel. As a result, a minimum coolant level is achieved in the cooling channel.
- the at least one rohrformige element is flush with the at least one passage or with the collar of the at least one passage.
- the rohrformige element of the better supply of coolant to the cooling channel, but not to influence the coolant level in the cooling channel.
- the at least one tubular element protrudes into the cooling channel beyond the at least one passage and / or the collar of the at least one passage.
- the penetration depth of the tubular element into the cooling channel influences the level of the coolant in the cooling channel.
- the at least one tubular element projects beyond the at least one thread in the direction opposite to the cooling channel.
- the rohrformige element of the better supply of coolant to the cooling channel for example, the coolant can be conveyed by means of a nozzle directly into the rohrformige element.
- the direction away from the cooling channel end of the at least one rohrformigen element is funnel-shaped.
- a funnel-shaped construction of the tubular element increases the absorption of injected coolant from the nozzle. Due to the funnel-shaped configuration of the rohrformigen element tolerances of the oil jet can be compensated. If the oil jet is fanned out, however, it is still possible to choose between upper and lower dead center during the up and down movement of the piston almost the entire or preferably the entire volume flow are passed into the cooling channel.
- a method for regulating the coolant level in a cooling channel of a piston, in particular for internal combustion engines, which has at least one inlet opening and / or outlet opening in the cooling channel formed by at least one passage, wherein the coolant level in the cooling channel via an adjustable tubular Element is set. Furthermore, it is provided according to the invention that the passage to form the at least one inlet opening and / or outlet opening is created by flow drilling. Flow drilling produces no chips and is thus ideal for use in the production of pistons, since the use of the piston in an internal combustion engine, each chip would jeopardize the operation of the internal combustion engine.
- the thread in the passage which forms the at least one inlet opening and / or outlet opening is formed by tapping.
- Thread cutting is a manufacturing technology known and mastered process. Therefore, thread cutting is an alternative to thread forming.
- Thread forming is the ideal connection step for flow drilling, since no chips are formed during thread forming or during flow drilling.
- the regulation of the coolant level via the screw-in length of the tubular element takes place in a thread located in the cooling channel.
- the screw-in length here refers to the length of the tubular element projecting beyond the passage or the collar of the passage into the cooling channel.
- the tubular element serves for the transport of coolant.
- the supply and / or discharge of coolant to the cooling channel can take place. They can be tailored in their shape to the particular application.
- the piston in question is also referred to as a cooling channel piston and may consist of at least two piston parts, for example a piston lower part and a piston upper part, which are assembled by a non-positive, positive and / or cohesive joining process to form a piston.
- the piston with piston lower part and piston upper part can also be produced in one piece in a production process, for example a casting process, in which case the working step for joining the piston lower part and piston upper part is omitted.
- To produce the cavities for example, sand cores are used in a casting process, and these can be rinsed out after the casting process by specially provided openings. These openings are closed after rinsing.
- the temperature of the flow drill increases very quickly, for example, about 650 ° to 800 ° C, the cooling channel wall, for example, locally to about 600 ° C.
- the first displaced from the cooling duct wall material initially flows counter to the feed direction upwards, with increasing penetration depth of the actual draft is then generated in the feed direction.
- the ratio between material flowing upwards and downwards is for example about 1/3 to 2/3. This varies depending on the diameter of the drill and the thickness of the material and may be less (eg 1/4 to 3/4).
- flow drilling also known as flow forming, flow-hole drilling or flow-hole forming
- flow drilling is an advantageous chipless method for producing passages on pistons, in particular on pistons for internal combustion engines.
- the material is not removed, but displaced by means of force and friction heat, wulstformig raised and formed into a kind of socket or passage on the piston and thus the formation of chips is avoided.
- the displaced and bulbous raised piston material may be formed into a collar or worn away.
- the generated stable bushes or passages are caused by material displacement and not by erosion. This homogeneous deformation causes not only an additional material consolidation, but also a considerable time and material savings.
- the shape and diameter of the passage formed on the piston are determined by the dimension of the cylindrical part of the flow drill.
- the displaced material is advantageously used for the design of the area around the passage opening of the flow drill.
- the subsequently to be created thread train can be extended.
- the stability to the component received in the thread for example a tubular element, is increased.
- the depth of engagement has an influence on the stability of the connection between the receiving piston and the screwed-in element, for example a tubular element.
- Thread shear are reduced by a raised by a collar on the passage in a piston screwing depth.
- the screw-in depth is the length on which the component received by the thread in the piston, for example a tubular element and the internal thread, actually engage in a load-bearing manner.
- Only in the area of ideal screwing depth is a thread considered to be fully supporting.
- the outgoing threads are not to be considered in the sense of carrying capacity as equivalent to the intervening fully supporting threads. Therefore, length deductions are made from the physically carrying depth of engagement, which results in the ideal screwing depth.
- a collar formed by flow drilling on the piston advantageously increases the number of threads on the connection in the piston, such as the connection between the piston and a tubular member.
- the load bearing capacity of the thread is increased in the piston by forming a collar on the passage on the piston, produced by flow drilling, in relation to a conventionally produced opening, for example by drilling or pouring.
- the application of the flow-drilling method to pistons leads, in addition to the aforementioned advantages, inter alia to the following advantages.
- the use of the flow-drilling method in pistons produces stable passages or bushes for receiving screw connections, such as tubular elements, through which coolant can flow.
- diagonal flow drilling is possible, in which case the center axis of the flow bore or of the resulting draft deviates from the vertical line formed by the piston stroke axis at an acute or obtuse angle.
- Flow drilling is a chipless production method, connecting elements are not necessary. Flow drilling involves a great deal of time, labor and material savings as no additional components are required.
- the production of passages on the piston takes place in only one operation.
- Flow drilling is a completely automatable process with minimal set-up times. For joining components, such as tubular members, no riveting and welding nuts are required.
- the flow drilling process offers more safety through homogeneous deformation, thus increasing the service life of the piston.
- Flow drills have a long service life and produce excellent surface qualities. There are no waste and disposal costs because it is a non-cutting process. Furthermore, chips do not endanger the operational reliability of the piston in the internal combustion engine in a particularly advantageous manner. Thus, a lesser failure of products is noted.
- Flow drilling therefore offers high process reliability through durable carbide tools.
- Flow drills are solid carbide tools with a polygon contour. With high speed and axial force pressed against thin-walled metallic materials, they generate extreme frictional heat. As a result, the material of the cooling channel wall can be plastified locally at the flow drilling position. The flow drill is guided through the cooling channel wall within a few seconds. This results in a draft or a bushing from the starting material without loss of material. The length of this socket can be about three to five times the original material thickness. The maximum material thickness to be machined is proportional to the core hole diameter of the flow drill. Depending on the core hole diameter, between 0.5 mm (with optimum relining) and 12 mm (requires very high spindle power) strong material can be machined.
- any conventional threading device can be used. It should be noted, however, that a higher rotational speed (3 to 10 times the process speed) is used.
- thread forming can also be worked with a hand drill. This should have right or left rotation and enough power.
- Hand drills are hand-held drills. They are depending on the design for flow drilling and / or thread forming in different materials such as metal or metal alloys of a piston suitable.
- a common feature of all hand drills is the ability to use flow drills and other rotating tools, such as thread formers, in a front mounted drill chuck.
- the most important distinguishing feature for hand drills is the type of energy supply, which can be done manually by hand with the help of muscle power, electric, hydraulic or pneumatic.
- Such hand drills can preferably be used for the production of piston small series.
- any number of pistons desired by the customer may be provided with flow-generated passages and threaded threads.
- Thread forming is a non-cutting process and thus advantageously complements the flow-drilling method. Since chips do not form in this production step, they can not later endanger the operation of the piston in an internal combustion engine. In tapping, an increase in productivity is achieved through a higher process speed.
- the connection produced by thread forming in the piston is highly resilient and has an exact thread guide. For example, a special TiN coating can increase the service life. Furthermore, the length and wall thickness of the passage produced in the flow-drilling process are completely retained.
- the thread forming process is also a completely automatable process. It can be used existing equipment, since the thread forming method can be used on all conventional tapping devices.
- thread forming in conjunction with flow drilling has enormous advantages.
- the previous semi-warm displacement of the material during flow drilling and the subsequent cold rolling during thread forming cause a strong solidification of the material of the cooling channel wall. This ensures highly resistant threaded connections.
- the non-cutting thread former causes a significant increase in productivity due to the very high cutting speed and extremely long tool life.
- the opening, which is supplied to the cooling medium is aligned in the direction of a cooling oil nozzle, wherein from the cooling oil nozzle, the cooling medium is sprayed in the direction of the opening.
- the cooling channel is realized, for example, in a manner known per se during casting of the cooling channel piston with the aid of a lost core, wherein at least one opening, for example a bore, is introduced from the inner area of the piston, in order to reach the lost core and flush it out ,
- an extended feed is realized as an additional bore in the actual piston.
- a thickening is usually poured or formed in the area of the piston neck, whereby this thickening is then bored out.
- the invention is based on a cooling channel piston in which after the production of the cooling channel piston in any way a cooling channel (or more cooling channels or sections or the like) is provided in the piston head, wherein approximately below the plane in which the piston head downwards considered ends (ie above the pin bore or the apex of the bolt), which is at least one opening for the inlet of the cooling medium.
- a cooling channel or more cooling channels or sections or the like
- Such a piston which forms the basis for the invention, thus has no thickening on the piston hub, which is cast and molded and then drilled.
- a component is arranged at the inlet opening, which forms an extended cooling channel inlet (or an extended cooling channel outlet).
- This component is in one piece or can also be realized from several components.
- the at least one component consists for example of a steel material (for example sheet metal), plastic, a composite material or a light metal material and may be e.g. in the form of a widening or tapered tubular member or tubular element are produced inexpensively.
- the connection can be made by a simple attachment method such as screws, gluing, stapling, positive locking, clipping, soldering, welding, shrinking or pressing or the like.
- the component can be designed so that it protrudes into the interior of the cooling channel inlet, that is, beyond the plane in which the inlet or discharge opening is located.
- the resultant projecting into the cooling channel collar prevents advantageously a return flow from the cooling medium in the direction of the component. This means that it is ensured that always remains a certain amount of cooling medium in the cooling channel during the oscillating up and down movement of the piston in the cylinder of the internal combustion engine. This can absorb heat from the surrounding areas of the piston crown and is mixed by the shaker effect with incoming fresh cooling medium and can thereby dissipate heat improved.
- the filling of the cooling channel piston can be significantly improved with cooling medium, especially at the bottom dead center. Measurements have shown an improvement of 60% not only in the filling, but also in the heat dissipation.
- any piston having a cooling channel, wherein the cooling channel itself has at least one drain and / or inlet opening to equip them with the invention extended cooling duct inlet and outlet.
- an extended cooling passage inlet to be realized by one or more additional components on the piston.
- the extended cooling channel inlet is to be provided as an additional component (s) for pistons for an internal combustion engine, for example as a tubular element.
- the invention makes it possible to significantly improve the filling of the cooling channel. It is a cheaper production possible.
- An extended inlet is previously realized as an additional hole in the actual piston. It is cast or formed in the piston material, a thickening of the piston hub, which is then drilled. This has been the state of the art in aluminum pistons for many years, here the bore can be cast.
- the filling of the cooling channel in the piston with cooling oil can be significantly improved, especially at bottom dead center. Measurements show an improvement of up to 60%.
- the invention achieves a more cost-effective production of the extended cooling passage inlet, especially in pistons which are not cast. With such a solution, the connection from the piston skirt to the hub is more cost-effective, since no material has to be provided for later drilling. A reduction of the piston weight or the mass of the piston is possible.
- the piston is designed in the conventional design, that is, the thickening is forged and then we drilled the extended feed. It can also be produced by flow drilling a relatively short collar, based on the passage length of the inlet opening and / or outlet opening.
- the cooling effect is primarily improved by the fact that in the cooling channel a collar is made which prevents the backflow of the cooling oil.
- a tube such as a tubular element
- Electrochemical removal (English: Electro Chemical Machining, ECM) is an abrasive manufacturing process especially for very hard materials, assigned to the separation. ECM is suitable for simple deburring to the production of openings on pistons.
