Abstract

The invention relates to a crankshaft for a V engine with a two-stroke combustion cycle driving a pair of connecting rods and including, at the middle of the big end crank pin, a sealing disc whose centre of gravity with respect to its axis of rotation is off-centred in order to stiffen the crank pin as it deforms. It consists on the one hand of the conventional elements, the ends 1 and 2, the balancing cheeks 3 and 4, the crank pin 5 and, on the other hand, of the sealing disc 6 having a centre of gravity G which is off-centred with respect to the geometric axis of rotation 7 and its seal 8 separating the two pump cases 9 and 10. During the rotation of the crankshaft the deformation of the crank pin under the action of the big ends is minimized, in absolute value, by the action of centrifugal force created by the sealing disc and acting on the middle of the crank pin. The crankshaft according to the invention is particularly appropriate for the design of engines using a "two-stroke" cycle having an even number of cylinders arranged in a V configuration such as a V2 or V4 for example.

Description

VILEBREQUIN A MANETON RAIDI
La présente invention concerne un vilebrequin pour moteur bicylindre cycle de combustion deux temps entrainant un couple de bielles et comportant en milieu du maneton de tete de bielle, un disque d'étanchéité dont le centre de gravité est excentré par rapport à son axe géométrique de rotation afin de raidir le maneton lors de sa déformation.RAIDI CRANKSHAFT
The present invention relates to a crankshaft for a two-cylinder two-stroke combustion cycle engine driving a couple of connecting rods and comprising, in the middle of the connecting rod crankpin, a sealing disc whose center of gravity is eccentric relative to its geometric axis of rotation in order to stiffen the crankpin during its deformation.

Les moteurs thermiques d'architecture dite en vé et à cycle de combustion deux temps comportent, traditionnellement, un palier supplémentaire entre les deux bielles qui a la facheuse conséquence d'augmenter l'encombrement et d'accroitre le niveau de vibration du moteur. I1 existe cependant des moteurs deux temps avec flasque d'étanchéité disposé sur le maneton de tete de bielle pourvu d'un dispositif d'étanchéité précaire au niveau de ce disque (car localement interrompu) et s'usant rapidement du fait de la déformation du maneton soumis aux efforts d'inertie des bielles. Thermal engines of so-called vee architecture and two-stroke combustion cycle, traditionally comprise an additional bearing between the two rods which has the annoying consequence of increasing the size and increasing the vibration level of the engine. There are, however, two-stroke engines with a sealing flange arranged on the crankpin of the connecting rod end provided with a precarious sealing device at the level of this disc (because locally interrupted) and which wear out quickly due to the deformation of the crankpin subjected to the inertia forces of the connecting rods.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un vilebrequin pour moteur thermique à cycle deux temps du type qui comporte un disque d'étanchéité entre les deux carter-pompes des cylindres, solidaire du maneton de tette de bielle. Le disque d'étanchéité du vilebrequin est agencé sur le milieu du maneton de tete de bielle et son centre de gravité se trouve à l'opposé du maneton par rapport à l'axe géométrique de rotation , sa périphérie étant pourvue de portées de joint. L'etancheite est réalisée à laide d'un joint à levures pinçant les portées de joint du disque d'étanchéité et muni sur sa périphérie externe en regard avec le carter-moteur d'un élastomère qui complète l'étanchéité entre les deux carter-pompes. L'effet dynamique de l'excentration du centre de gravité du disque d'étanchéité associée à la valeur de sa masse a pour but de raidir dans sa déformation le maneton de tète de bielle qui est aussi soumis à l'action des forces d'inertie engendrées par les équipages mobiles atelés au maneton ou des forces de pression dues à l'explosion des gaz.More specifically, the invention relates to a crankshaft for a two-cycle cycle heat engine of the type which comprises a sealing disc between the two pump-casings of the cylinders, integral with the crankpin of the connecting rod. The crankshaft sealing disc is arranged on the middle of the connecting rod crankpin and its center of gravity is opposite the crankpin relative to the geometric axis of rotation, its periphery being provided with joint seats. Sealing is carried out using a yeast seal pinching the sealing surfaces of the sealing disc and provided on its outer periphery facing the crankcase with an elastomer which completes the seal between the two crankcases. pumps. The purpose of the dynamic effect of the eccentricity of the center of gravity of the sealing disc associated with the value of its mass is to stiffen in its deformation the crank pin of the connecting rod which is also subjected to the action of the forces of inertia generated by the moving parts harnessed to the crankpin or from the pressure forces due to the explosion of the gases.

I1 est avantageux que les masselottes occasionnant l'excentration du centre de gravité soient rapportees sur le disque d'étanchéité afin de permettre la rectification du maneton de tète de bielle. I1 is advantageous that the weights causing the eccentricity of the center of gravity are attached to the sealing disc in order to allow the crankpin of the connecting rod head.

Dans une variante au joint détanchéité il est avantageux que les portées de joint et les lèvres du joint ne soient pas en contact et fassent office de labyrinthe occasionnant ainsi une perte de charge s'opposant au passage des gaz d'un carter-pompe vers l'autre. In a variant of the seal it is advantageous that the seal bearing surfaces and the lips of the seal are not in contact and act as a labyrinth thus causing a pressure drop opposing the passage of gases from a pump casing towards the 'other.

De préférence, la profondeur de l'évidement entre les lèvres du joint permet son montage par déformation latérale et radiale du joint pour éviter sa coupe. Preferably, the depth of the recess between the lips of the seal allows it to be mounted by lateral and radial deformation of the seal to avoid cutting it.

La faible épaisseur des lèvres d'étanchéité du joint permet, par leur flexion et leur appui sur les portees du joint, lors de l'accroissement de pression à l'intérieur du carter-pompe, d'augmenter leur efficacité et de compenser leurs usures. The small thickness of the sealing lips of the seal allows, by their bending and their support on the bearing surfaces of the seal, during the increase in pressure inside the pump housing, to increase their efficiency and to compensate for their wear. .

Il est avantageux que le joint à lèvres se compose de deux anneaux à lèvres circulaires permettant un montage axial des lèvres en prenant en sandwich les portées du joint sur le vilebrequin et d'un joint élastomère coopérant grâce a des moyens disposés sur la périférie externe des lèvres avec le carter-pompe pour procurer un rappel élastique des lèvres contre les portées de joint. It is advantageous for the lip seal to consist of two circular lip rings allowing axial mounting of the lips by sandwiching the bearing surfaces of the seal on the crankshaft and of an elastomer seal cooperating by means of means disposed on the external periphery of the lips with the pump housing to provide an elastic return of the lips against the seal surfaces.
