By the way, it is extremely difficult to obtain sufficient heat-insulating properties in heat-insulating engine members such as pistons that utilize ceramic material as a heat-insulating material or heat-resistant material. The ceramic material is exposed to high temperatures on the side of the combustion chamber, and as a result is subject to heat sink, which poses problems in terms of the strength of the ceramic material. Additionally, if the thickness of the ceramic material on the wall is increased for insulation purposes, the heat capacity will increase, and during the intake process, the intake air will receive more heat from the combustion chamber and become hotter, and this heat will affect the intake air, reducing intake efficiency. On the other hand, there is a problem in that the expansion process requires improved insulation properties.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem,
The structure of the heat-insulating piston disclosed in Publication No. 02164 achieves extremely high heat-insulating properties by configuring as described above, and the surface portion of the piston head facing the combustion chamber side that is exposed to combustion gas and becomes hot. The heat capacity is made as small as possible to improve suction efficiency and cycle efficiency, and there are no problems with strength even when subjected to thermal shock, improving heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and deformation resistance. It has a structure that allows a stable mounting condition to be obtained, and also allows the pressure that acts on the piston head during an explosion to be received and stopped in a favorable condition, improving the sealing function between the piston head and piston skirt. This is what I did.

However, in the structure of the above-described heat-insulating piston, the heat insulating material disposed between the head base portion and the ceramic thin plate disposed on the combustion chamber side is composed of whiskers or fibers of mullite, alumina, potassium titanate, zirconia, etc., and , the ceramic thin plate and the ceramic ring are made of silicon nitride. Therefore, since the materials of the insulation material and the surrounding ceramic thin plate and ceramic ring are different, a difference in thermal expansion occurs between the two, and furthermore, if the joint between the two is joined by CVD (chemical deposition) or coating, etc. does not have the strength to hold the heat insulating material, and the joints between the heat insulating material, the ceramic thin plate, and the ceramino ring may peel or crack, causing problems.
