求されている。[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] Conventional engine cylinder blocks (crankcases) are generally made of F25C-based cast iron, but in order to ensure wear resistance on the inner surface of the cylinder hole, A sleeve (liner) made of high phosphorus cast iron or the like with excellent wear resistance is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder. However, such sleeves are expensive and increase the weight of the engine, so there has been a strong demand for sleeveless cylinders.

リーブ全体を高価な材料より形成しなければならず、コ
ストの面からも不合理であった。In addition, the wear of engine sleeves is significant near the top dead center of the piston, but with conventional sleeves, it is difficult to improve the wear resistance only near top dead center, so the entire sleeve is made of expensive materials. It was unreasonable from a cost standpoint.

いないのが現状である。Therefore, recently, a method of induction hardening the inner surface of the cylinder hole of the cylinder block has been considered in order to make the cylinder block sleeveless, but this induction hardening method has drawbacks such as generation of hardening distortion and lack of productivity. The current situation is that it has not yet been put into practical use.

により形成したことを特徴とするものである。The present invention was made in view of these circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a sleeveless cylinder with excellent wear resistance. - [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a partially hardened layer of a predetermined pattern is formed on the inner surface of a cylinder hole of an engine or the like using a laser beam.
以下、本発明の一実施例を第１図ないし第５図を参照し

っている。FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a laser beam hardening apparatus used in this embodiment, and numeral 1 in the figure represents a laser beam (for example, a CO2 laser) emitted from a laser oscillator (not shown). The direction of this laser beam 1 is changed perpendicularly by a pend mirror 2, and after passing through a condensing lens 3, the direction is again changed perpendicularly by a copper mirror 4, and it enters the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole of the cylinder block 11 shown in FIG. It is now irradiated.

Also a copper mirror 4. Copper mirror support nozzle 5. The copper mirror rotation motor 6 and the condensing lens 3 have an integral structure, and are moved up and down by the rotation of a ball screw 9 connected to the motor 8 while being guided by a guide 10 in the vertical direction.

されている。The diameter of the laser beam irradiation on the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole can be set arbitrarily by changing the distance between the condenser lens 3 and the copper mirror 4, so even if the inner diameter of the cylinder hole changes, the laser beam 1
The irradiation diameter can always be adjusted to a constant value. In addition, on the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole, a CO2 laser with a wavelength of 10pr is installed.
A heat-resistant paint (not shown) is applied to facilitate the absorption of l.

ーンの部分焼入れ層を形成することができる。According to the laser beam hardening device having the above configuration, the copper mirror 4
is rotated 3600 times in the circumferential direction within the cylinder hole by a copper mirror rotation motor 6, and is moved up and down in the cylinder hole in the axial direction by a copper mirror lifting motor 8. Therefore, the hardening speed of the inner surface of the cylinder hole 12 in the circumferential direction can be arbitrarily set by adjusting the rotation speed of the motor 6 for rotating the copper mirror, and the hardening speed of the inner surface of the cylinder hole 12 in the axial direction can be set arbitrarily by adjusting the rotation speed of the motor 6 for rotating the copper mirror. Since the rotation speed can be set arbitrarily by adjusting the rotation speed, the rotation speed of both motors 6°8 and the oscillation condition of laser beam 1 (pulse oscillation or continuous oscillation, etc.)
By combining these, it is possible to form a partially hardened layer in a predetermined pattern on the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which a spiral hardening pattern is formed on the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole by continuously oscillating the laser beam 1. Note that the shaded area 2 in the figure
1 represents a hardened portion, and 22 represents a non-hardened portion.

形成した場合の作用について説明する。Next, the effect when a checkered hardening pattern is formed on the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole will be explained.

性が向上する。Cast iron (F25C, etc.) is generally used as the engine cylinder material.
The hardened portion (hardened portion 21) has a Gockers hardness of about 750 to 800. As a result, hardened portions and non-hardened portions are formed alternately in the circumferential direction and the axial direction on the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole, resulting in a checkered hardened pattern. This checkered hardening pattern means that when the engine is operating, the unhardened part 22 is selectively worn away by the piston, creating a minute difference in level between it and the hardened part 21, and this step becomes a pool of lubricating oil, resulting in an oil film. Since this contributes to the formation and retention of the cylinder hole, the wear resistance of the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole is improved.

向上させることができる。In this way, in this embodiment, the wear resistance is improved by forming the checkered hardening pattern on the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole, and there is no need to attach a sleeve or the like to the inner surface of the cylinder hole as in the conventional case. It is possible to reduce manufacturing costs and weight. Note that even if a spiral hardening pattern is formed on the inner surface 12 of the cylinder hole, the wear resistance can be improved in the same way as the checkered hardening pattern described above.
