Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the production of a piston for an internal combustion engine, as well as to a piston that can be produced by means of this method.
  • DE 103 11 149 A1 discloses a piston composed of an upper piston part and a lower piston part, which are fixed in place by means of a minimal number of weld points and are connected with one another by means of subsequent forging.
  • Such pistons are characterized in that the upper piston part is produced from a particularly temperature-resistant and high-strength material, in order to prevent scaling, particularly in the region of the combustion bowl.
  • production of such a piston is complicated and connected with significant costs.
  • the task of the present invention consists in making available a method for the production of a piston for an internal combustion engine, which method can be implemented with the least possible effort and reduced costs.
  • a first solution consists in that a strip-shaped or plate-shaped semi-finished product made of a metallic material is made available, that a ring-shaped blank is punched out of the semi-finished product and subsequently finished to produce an upper piston part, and that the finished upper piston part is connected to a lower piston part, to produce a piston.
  • a second solution consists in that a strip-shaped or plate-shaped semi-finished product made of a metallic material is made available, that at least one surface of the strip-shaped or plate-shaped semi-finished product is finished, that a ring-shaped upper piston part is punched out of the semi-finished product and subsequently connected to a lower piston part, to produce a piston.
  • a piston that can be produced with this method is furthermore an object of the present invention.
  • the present invention is characterized in that a particularly simple method for the production of a piston, which method can be implemented with few production steps and is therefore cost-advantageous, is made available.
  • an upper piston part can be made available, which can be obtained, in particularly simple manner, from any desired material. In this way it is possible, for example, to make available a piston having a particularly high-strength and temperature-resistant upper piston part, in simple and cost-advantageous manner.
  • a semi-finished product made from a steel material is used, so that the finished piston meets the requirements during engine operation in optimal manner.
  • a hot-rolled or cold-rolled steel material is particularly well suited.
  • this blank is preferably machined level along at least one surface, for example by means of lathing or grinding.
  • the level machined surface then forms the piston crown in the finished piston.
  • a finished upper piston part is punched out of the semi-finished product
  • at least one surface of the semi-finished product is machined level before punching.
  • the level machined surface then forms the piston crown in the finished piston.
  • the upper piston part can be machined as needed after punching.
  • semi-finished products having a thickness of up to 15 mm can be used.
  • a preferred further development consists in that during punching, a circumferential lower recess is machined into the blank or into the upper piston part, and/or at least one circumferential lateral recess is machined into the blank or the upper piston part, by means of corresponding shaping of the punching tool.
  • the lower recess forms at least one part of a cooling channel.
  • An outer recess forms part of a ring groove, for example.
  • An inner recess can form part of a combustion bowl, for example.
  • the finished upper piston part can be connected with a lower piston part, to produce a finished piston, for example by means of soldering or welding.
  • the piston can also be finished subsequently, as needed.
  • FIG. 1 an exemplary embodiment of a piston according to the invention, in section;
  • FIG. 2 a top view of a strip-shaped semi-finished product for use in the method according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 another exemplary embodiment of an upper piston part produced according to the method according to the invention, in section;
  • FIG. 4 another exemplary embodiment of an upper piston part produced according to the method according to the invention, in section.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a piston 10 . Because the invention can be used for all piston types and all piston materials, only one piston type will be used as an example in the following, to describe the present invention.
  • the piston 10 is a two-part welded box piston, the structure of which is known as such.
  • the piston 10 has an upper piston part 11 having a circumferential top land 12 .
  • the upper piston part 11 forms a piston crown 11 a as well as part of a combustion bowl 13 , and has a piston ring groove 14 below the top land 12 .
  • the piston 10 furthermore has a lower piston part 15 having two piston ring grooves 16 , 17 as well as pin bosses 18 that are set back relative to the piston ring grooves 14 , 16 , 17 .
  • the pin bosses 18 are provided with pin bores 19 for accommodating a piston pin (now shown).
  • the upper piston part 11 and the lower piston part 15 together form a circumferential cooling channel 21 .
  • FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a semi-finished product 22 , here a strip-shaped semi-finished product, for use in the method according to the invention.
  • the semi-finished product 22 consists, for example, of a hot-rolled or cold-rolled steel material of the type 42CrMo4, having a thickness of 10 mm.
  • the cutting lines along which a ring-shaped blank or a ring-shaped upper piston part is punched out, according to the present invention, are indicated with 23 , 24 .
  • a ring-shaped blank 25 is punched out.
  • the blank 25 is machined level along at least one surface, for example by means of grinding or lathing. This surface forms the piston crown 11 a of the upper piston part 11 in the finished piston 10 .
  • the finished upper piston part 11 is connected to a lower piston part 15 , to form a piston 10 , for example by means of soldering or welding, such as friction welding, electrode welding, or laser welding.
  • soldering or welding such as friction welding, electrode welding, or laser welding.
  • the piston 10 can also be finished subsequently, as needed.
  • the semi-finished product 22 can be processed further before being punched, in that at least one of its surfaces 26 is machined level, for example by means of grinding or lathing. Subsequently, a ring-shaped upper piston part 11 is punched out. The level machined surface 26 forms forms the piston crown 11 a of the upper piston part 11 in the finished piston 10 . Subsequently, the finished upper piston part 11 is connected to a lower piston part 15 , to form a piston 10 , as described above.
  • FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of a ring-shaped upper piston part 111 punched out of a semi-finished product 22 .
  • the upper piston part 111 has a circumferential lower recess 127 that forms part of a circumferential cooling channel in the finished piston; see the cooling channel 21 in FIG. 1 .
  • the recess 127 is formed in that the punching tool is provided with a corresponding embossing shape, in known manner. Therefore the recess 127 is formed at the same time with the punching process.
  • the central opening 113 of the ring-shaped upper piston part 111 forms part of a combustion bowl in the finished piston; see the combustion bowl 13 in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 4 shows another exemplary embodiment of a ring-shaped upper piston part 211 punched out of a semi-finished product 22 .
  • the upper piston part 211 also has a circumferential lower recess 227 that forms part of a circumferential cooling channel in the finished piston; see the cooling channel 21 in FIG. 1 .
  • the upper piston part 211 furthermore has a circumferential outer recess 228 that forms part of a piston ring groove in the finished piston; see the piston ring groove 14 in FIG. 1 .
  • the recesses 227 and 228 are formed in that the punching tool is provided with corresponding embossing shapes, in known manner. Therefore the recesses 227 and 228 are formed at the same time with the punching process.
  • the central opening 213 of the ring-shaped upper piston part 211 forms part of a combustion bowl in the finished piston; see the combustion bowl 13 in FIG. 1 .
