DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a connecting rod for a reciprocating engine, and more particularly to a lightweight connecting rod that does not use a bushing at the small end.

The connecting rod (hereinafter referred to as connecting rod) that connects the piston pin and crankshaft of a reciprocating engine is required to be lightweight and have a certain level of strength.
Usually, as shown in FIG.
3 is the stove top body 23 a and the funnel rod cap 23
It is assembled to the crankshaft with a tension bolt 25 via a connecting rod bearing metal 24, while the small end 2
1 is attached to a piston pin attached to a piston via a bushing 22 which is a bearing. The full-float type, which swings between the small end of the connecting rod and the piston pin, has a copper-based bimetallic bushing press-fitted into the connecting rod small water section.

This bushing usually has a thickness of 1.5 to 2 m, and is made by sintering an alloy such as Cu-8%Pb-4%Sn with a thickness of about 200 μm on low carbon steel.

In conventional connecting rods, the bushing is press-fitted into the small end as described above, so the small end of the connecting rod must be made large to ensure strength, which makes it heavy.

Furthermore, if a structure is adopted that simply does not use bushings in order to reduce weight, seizure will occur between the connecting rod small end and the piston pin.

An object of the present invention is to provide a connecting rod that is light in phase and has bearing performance equivalent to that of a bush.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been developed to apply 5 to 27% by weight of Pb and Sn to the sliding surface of the small end of the connecting rod of a reciprocating engine.

It is characterized by forming a sprayed layer of Sn-based alloy to a thickness of 20 μm or more.

Ordinary steel is used as the material for forming the connecting rod.

The reasons for limiting each component of the CuPb-Sn alloy are as follows (all ``H'' below indicates weight %).

した。
Regarding Pb, the seizure resistance improves as the amount of Pb increases, but when Pb-fig exceeds 27.0%, the wear resistance and mechanical strength decrease. Furthermore, if the amount of Pb is less than 5 inches, the seizure resistance will not improve. Therefore, the amount of Pb was set to 5 to 27 inches.

As for Sn, strength improves as the amount of Sn increases, but when Sn41 exceeds 12%, toughness decreases, and
As the amount of n increases, it becomes more expensive. If the amount of Sn is less than 2, the strength will be insufficient. Therefore, the amount of Sn was set to 2 to 12%.

The reason why the thickness of the sprayed layer of Cu-Pb-Sn alloy on the sliding surface is set to 20 μm or more is that if the thickness is less than 20 μm, the wear life will be insufficient. Thickness is 150-20
0 μm is desirable.

As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting rod small end 10 has a structure in which a Cu-Pb-Sn alloy sprayed layer 11 is provided on the sliding surface of the small end, so this sliding part has a durability equal to or higher than that of a bushing. Since it exhibits seizability and does not require a pusher, the small end 10 can be made smaller and the weight of the connecting rod can be reduced.
