Abstract
Cooling oil for an internal combustion engine piston passes from an engine crank chamber via a connecting rod through a piston pin (3) into an annular groove segment (5) inside the pin eyes (2) of the piston, and from there enters through an aperture in radial direction into ducts (7), (8) leading into a duct (9) the piston head. The annular groove segment (5) in the pin eyes (2) lies below a plane which runs horizontally through the axis of the pin eyes. With this construction the dimensions of the pin eye may be smaller radially than in known constructions or may obtain greater security against cracking by shifting the annular groove segment in the pin eye out of the area which is particularly vulnerable to the danger of cracking. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Oil-cooled Piston
The invention relates to an oil-cooled piston for internal combustion engines of the kind in which the cooling oil passes from an engine crank chamber via a connecting rod through a piston pin into an annular groove segment inside the eyes of the piston, and from there enters through an aperture in radial direction into a duct leading into a piston head.
Pistons of this type constitute prior art and are known for example, from US Patent 2 282 085,
German registered Design 1725611, German
Registered Design 19 79 948, German Patent 14 76 408, German Patent 11 41 494 and German
Offenlegungsschrift 21 06 923. In all the aforementioned Patents are shown pistons in which the annular groove segment in the pin eyes extends above and below the horizontal plane running through the axis of the pin eyes. The aperture from which the cooling oil, which is brought from the connecting rod through the piston pin, passes into the duct to the piston head is nearly always situated above the horizontal plane running through the axis of the pin eyes, in known pistons.
In regard to the position of the annular groove segment in the pin eyes, the prior art described generally has the disadvantage that the cavity which inside the pin eye borehole is constantly situated in the direction of movement of the piston in the area in which it is most strongly exposed to the danger of cracking. In order to obtain security against cracking, the pin eyes as a whole, where their radial wall thickness is concerned, must be designed larger than they would have to be if there were no annular groove segments in the aforementioned areas.
Taking this as a starting point, the problem underlying the invention is to be able to make the dimensions of the pin eye smaller radially or obtain greater security against cracking by shifting the annular groove segment in the pin eye out of the area which is particularly exposed to the danger of cracking.
According to the invention there is provided an oil-cooled piston for an internal combustion engine of the kind described in which the annular groove segment in the pin eyes lies below a plane which runs horizontally through the axis of the pin eyes. It is particularly advantageous to allow the annular groove segment to lie at least 100 below the horizontal plane running through the axis of the pin eyes.
An exemplified embodiment is illustrated in the drawing Figure 1 shows a piston as per the invention in longitudinal section with a piston pin.
Figure 2 shows a section through the piston along the line Il-Il without a piston pin.
The piston 1 has pin eyes 2. In the pin eyes 2 is mounted a pin 3 with radial bore-holes 4. From a connecting rod which encircles the pin and is not illustrated, cooling oil passes through the pin 3 via the bore-holes 4 into an annular groove segment 5 in the pin eyes 2. From the annular groove segment 5, the cooling oil passes via an aperture 6 through the ducts 7 and 8 into an annular duct 9 in the piston head. From thore, it flows via a duct 10 from the piston back again into the unillustrated crank chamber of the engine. The ducts 7 and 8 are each closed at their bottom ends by sealing nipples 11.
Claims
1. An oil-cooled piston for internal combustion engines, in which the cooling oil passes from an engine crank chamber via a connecting rod through a piston pin into an annular groove segment inside the eyes of the piston, and from there enters through an aperture in radial direction into a duct leading into the piston head, wherein the annular groove segment in the pin eyes lies below a plane which runs horizontally through the axis of the pin eyes.
2. An oil-cooled piston as claimed in claim 1, wherein the annular groove segment lies at least 10 below the plane which runs horizontally through the axis of the pin eyes.
3. An oil-cooled piston substantially as described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
