Description

SPECIFICATION Improvements in and relating to cylinder liners for liquid-cooled engines This invention relates to a cylinder liner for liquid-cooled engines, on the outer-surface of which, a bandlike sealant is applied, and a method of making same. More particularly, it relates to a sealant-banded cylinder liner wherein said sealant comprises two-layer laminate of completely cured and half cured silicone resins, and a method of making same.
As shown in Fig. 1, in liquid-cooled engines such as diesel engines, a cylinder liner 3 is generally inserted into a cylinder bore 2 of a cylinder block 1 so as to form a water jacket 4 for cooling water between the block 1 and the liner 3. In such engines, two O-rings 6 and 6' are set in recesses on a protrudent wall 5 of the cylinder bore 2 and they seal the water jacket to prevent leaking of cooling water into an oil pan (not shown).
The cylinder liner 3 of such engines tends to bulge due to the combustion pressure of fuels during its operation, or vibrate intricately in the cylinder bore 2 due to reciprocating mortions of pistons. Then, cavitations give rise in the cooling water of the water jacket 4, which lead fatigue failures of the liner 3 and accelerate its corrosion. If the cylinder liner 3 is corroded markedly, it shows poor mechanical strength and short lifetime. Especially, the narrower a clearance 7 between the protrudent wall 5 in the bore 2 and the cylinder liner 3 is, the more cavitations occure. Hence, it is corroded severely.
Further, O-rings 6 and 6' are worn out by vibrations of the cylinder liner 3, and then the cooling water in the water jacket 4 possibly soaks into the oil pan or a crunk case (not shown).
Heretofore, a sealant 8 (Fig. 2) such as synthetic resins, in addition to these O-rings, has been filled into the clearance 7 around its entrance part to prevent cavitations and the cooling water leakage, in order to improve above mentioned disadvantages. In such prior art, for example, a sealant is forced into a channel (not shown) slotted on the outer surface of the liner 3, or is sprayed onto the inner surface of the cylinder block 1 to form a sealant band thereon by means of an air-gun.
However, according to these methods, it takes longer time to apply the sealant or it is difficult to obtain sufficient adherence between the sealant and the cylinder block or the cylinder liner. Thus, desirable sealing effects can not be attained by these known methods.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved cylinder liner in which a special sealant is applied on the outersurface thereof to seal faultlessly around an entrance part of a clearance formed between the cylinder surface and the protrudent wall of the cylinder block.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved method of making above mentioned cylinder liner.
According to this invention, these and other objects can be accomplished by providing a cylinder liner for liquid-cooled engines having a bandlike sealant on the outer-surface thereof wherein said sealant is formed by a two-layer laminate of silicone resin having a completely cured inner layer adhered on the outer surface of the cylinder liner and a half-cured outer layer laminated thereon, and furthermore, a method for preparing a cylinder liner for liquid-cooled engines having a bandlike sealant on the outer-surface thereof which comprises coating a putty silicone resin on the outersurface of said cylinder liner to form a beltlike layer, curing said resin completely, further applying said resin on said completely cured resin, and half-curing said applied resin, thereby forming a two-layer laminate of silicone resin having a completely cured inner layer and a half-cured outer layer.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the ensuing specification and drawings in which Figures 1 and 2 are elevational views in section of known cylinder liners in liquid cooled engines.
Figure 3 is an elevational views in section of this invention.
Figure 4 is an expanded sectional view of the banded sealant of Fig. 3.
Figure 5 is an elevational view in section of a cylinder liner inserted in a cylinder bore.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring to the embodiment of this invention shown in Figs. 3 to 5 inclusive, a cylinder liner 10 is partly coated with a silicone resin on its outer-surface 1 0a to form a belt-like sealant layer A. Prior to this resin coating process, a sphere to be coated should be fixed on the outer surface 1 Oa of the liner 10, which corresponds to an entrance part 1 spa of a clearance 1 5 formed between the liner 10 and a protrudent wall 14 when the liner 10 is inserted into a cylinder bore 1 3 of cylinder block 1 2. The outer surface 1 Oa is then masked by means of a masking tape leaving the belt-like sphere unmasked, where a putty silicone resin is applied to a thickness of about 50 to 100 micron.
Such silicone resine is preferably an organopolysiloxane composition containing a hardener such as organotin compounds, i.e. tin laurate, a silane coupling agent for improving its adherence, and a platinum catalyst. Then, after stripping the masking tape, the putty silicone resin is heated to a temperature of about 1 20 C for 1 hour and cured to form a completely cured resin 11. Thus, the cylinder liner 10 is banded with the cured belt-like resin 11. The term "completely cured" means such an elastic state as gum.Then, the same silicone resin is further applied on the com pleteiy cured resin to a thickness of about 700 to 800 micron and cured to form a halfcured resin 1 6. The term "half-cured" means such state that the resin does not show any restoration by a finger pressure and yet it does not adhere to the finger. Such half-cured state may be obrained by standing the resin in the atmosphere at room temperature for 24 hours or more. Both of these completely cured and half-cured resins give a two-layer laminate A in which two resins are strongly adhered each other. The laminate A is thicker than the clearance 15.
In Fig. 5, 1 7 and 18 are a water jacket and O-rings respectively.
Thus, according to this invention, the sealant-banded cylinder liner for liquid-cooied engines, which is banded on the outer-surface of the cylinder liner, can be made by very simple process. While the sealing band comprises two-layer laminate of silicone resin, which consists of the inner layer of compretely cured resin 11 and the outer layer of half-cured resin 16, it exhibits excellent sealing effects.
This will be explained particularly with reference to Fig. 5. As first, the cylinder liner 10 is inserted into the cylinder bore 1 3 of the cylinder block 1 2. As the laminate A on the outer surface 1 Oa is thicker than the clearance 15, the surface of the half-cured resin 1 6 is scraped by the protrudent wall 14 and risen around the entrance part 1 spa when the liner 10 is inserted into the bore 13, thereby the entrance part 1 spa is sealed. On the other hand, the completely cured resin 11 has been completely cured and adhered firmly to the outer surface 1 Oa, therefore, it is not scraped nor risen.
The half-cured resin 1 6 is gradually cured by the cooling water heated in the water jacket 1 7 during operation and the two-layer laminate A forms a completely cured monolayer (sealant B). The sealant B adheres the cylinder liner 10 and the cylinder block 1 3 firmly. As the laminate A fills suitably around the entrance part 1 spa and is cured as it is, the resultant sealant B has an excellent sealing effect.
Further, because of excellent elasticity, vibration resistance, heat resistance and humidity resistance of the cured silicone resin due to its three-dimensional network, the sealant B can sufficiently withstand to vibrations of piston mortions or high combustion temperature of fuels to seal the clearance 1 5 effectively. When the sealant B is used in combination with O-rings 18, its sealing effect is more perfect.
As described above, the cylinder liner of this invention has the two-layer laminate consisting of the inner layer of completely cured resin and the outer layer of half-cured resin on the outer surface thereof, securing perfect sealing of the clearance between the outer surface of the cylinder liner and the protrudent wall of the cylinder block to prevent leakage of cooling water from the water jacket into the crunk room and to avoid possible occurrence of cavitations. Further, such cylinder liner can be obtained easily and rapidly by the method of this invention. Finally it is apparent that the cylinder liner herein described as well as the method of making same constitute an epock-making invention which overcomes disadvantages of prior arts.
