Abstract
In a piston made of alloyed perlitic modular cast iron the head of which is supported by a concentric circular fin 2 there is provided a cooling annulus 9 defined by the peripheral portion of the piston head 1 and by the piston skirt 4 in the region of the piston ring grooves. The fin 2 projects from a cross wall 3 which extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal piston axis and forms together with said fin a cooling chamber 8 disposed below the central portion of the piston head while merging into the piston skirt in the region of the piston ring grooves. The cooling chamber is connected, via short, rigid ribs 5, with gudgeon pin bosses 6. The concentric circular fin is provided with at least two apertures 7 constituting communication passages between the cooling chamber 8 and the cooling annulus 9. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Internal combustion engine piston of alloyed perlitic nodular cast iron
This invention relates to a piston made of alloyed perlitic nodular cast iron and designed for internal combustion engines cooled by recirculating oil.
With well-known one-piece pistons made of nodular cast iron, the piston head is supported by fins projecting from bosses for receiving the gudgeon pin. Since such fins are spaced apart from the piston skirt, the combustion pressure forces which the piston head is exposed to are not transferred onto the piston skirt. These supporting fins simultaneously constitute the inner wall of an annular cooling chamber defined by the periphery of the piston head and by the piston skirt in the region of the piston ring grooves. In such a way it is possible to obtain a safely low temperature of the piston in the region of the piston ring grooves.
However, a disadvantage of the above-described arrangement is that the central portion of the piston head remains uncooled and is heated to a high temperature which negatively influences the stability of the mechanical characteristics of the material from which the piston is made. Also a very uneven temperature distribution in the piston head occurs while relatively high temperature gradients between the uncooled piston portion and the intensively cooled portion are responsible for considerable thermal stresses which in turn increase the risks of material failure due to fatigue. The two bosses designed for mounting the gudgeon pin and separated from the piston skirt have to be inter-connected by relatively thin, long fins in order that a sufficient rigidity and bore exactness be attained.
Such fins are unsuitable from the viewpoint of stress and casting technology.
According to the invention there is provided a piston made of alloyed perlitic nodular cast iron and designed for an internal combustion engine cooled by recirculating oil, comprising a concentric circular fin for supporting the piston head, and a cooling annulus defined by the peripheral portion of the piston head and by the piston skirt in the region of piston ring grooves, the concentric circular fin projecting from a cross wall which extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal piston axis and which together with the fin forms a cooling chamber disposed below the central portion of the piston head and merges into the piston skirt in the region of the piston ring grooves, the cross wall being connected by short, rigid ribs with bosses for receiving the gudgeon pin, said concentric circular fin being provided with at least two apertures constituting communication passages between the cooling chamber and the cooling annulus.
Owing to such an arrangement wherein below the central portion of the piston head a cooling chamber communicates, via apertures in the concentric circular fin, with the cooling annulus defined by the peripheral portion of the piston head and by the piston skirt, there is attained an intensive cooling of the entire piston head which gives the piston head a temperature which becomes more uniform and has a lower maximum value. The cross wall perpendicular to the longitudinal piston axis constitutes the main element of rigid connection between the bosses for receiving the gudgeon pin.
A specific embodiment in accordance with the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawing which on the lefthand side shows a longitudinal section of a piston taken through the gudgeon pin axis and on the righthand side shows a longitudinal section of the piston taken through a plane perpendicular to the gudgeon pin axis.
Referring to the drawing, a piston made of alloyed perlitic nodular cast iron and designed for an internal combustion engine cooled by recirculating oil has a piston head supported by a concentric circular fin 2 which projects from a cross wall 3 extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal piston axis and merging into the piston skirt 4 in the region of piston ring grooves. The cross wall 3 is connected by short, rigid ribs 5 to bosses 6 for receiving the gudgeon pin. Thereby the cross wall 3 forms the main element of rigid connection between the gudgeon pin bosses 6. The concentric circular fin 2 is provided with two diametrically opposed apertures 7 forming communication passages between a cooling chamber 8 provided below the central portion of the piston head 1 and a cooling annulus 9 defined by the peripheral portion of the piston ring grooves.In the middle of the cross wall 3 an orifice 10 is provided, which orifice receives an insert 11 with a neck 1 2 extending upwardly above the level of the cross wall 13, thereby ensuring a minimum oil level in the cooling chamber 8. Cooling oil supplied to the piston flows via connecting rod and the gudgeon pin into one boss 6, then through a bore 1 3 into the cooling annulus 9 and further through the apertures 7 in the concentric circular fin 2 into the cooling chamber 8 whereupon it flows out through the neck 2 in the insert 11 into the crankcase of the engine.

A piston made of alloyed perlitic nodular cast iron and designed for an internal combustion engine cooled by recirculating oil, comprising a concentric circular fin for supporting the piston head, and a cooling annulus defined by the peripheral portion of the piston head and by the piston skirt in the
