PISTON Filed April 6, 1939 m/ 26 l. 1a
vPatented Mar.v 19, 1940 UNITED STATESl PATENT ol-'FlcE rrs'roN Ferdinando Carlo Reggio, Peoria, Application April c, 1939, serial No. 266,292 12 Claims. (cl. 12s-193) y This'invention relates to pistons for internal combustion engines and more particularly to heat protecting plates for said pistons and means for attaching said plates. It is more particularly intended for compression-ignition'anr Diesel, or
heavy oil burning engines..
One of the objects of the invention is to provide means for reducing the amount `of heat transmitted to the top ofthe piston.
Another .object is to provide means'formaintaining the temperature of the piston skirt and ring grooves at a comparatively low value.
'Still another object is to provide means for attaching the heatprotecting plate to the piston without interfering with the thermic dilation of said plate due to its high operating temperature.
A further object is to provide a resilient attachment of the plate.
A still further object is to provide annular means interposed between the heat protecting plate and the nearby cylinder wall, said means having a comparatively low temperature and operating as a heat screen for the cylinder wall. The above and other objects of the invention will be apparent as the description proceeds; and
while I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of the invention asthey now appear to me, it will be understood that such changes may be made as fall within the scope of the appended claims. In the following description and in the claims various details will restricted to a small area, to reduce the heat ow by conduction from` the plate to the piston under a given difference of temperature-therebetween. The result is that in operation the temperature of the piston skirt and ring belt is appreciably lower, and the temperature of the piston top or plate is much higher than in a conventional piston. Accordingly, the amount of combustion heat lost to the piston, which is a function of the difference between the tempera- Ature in the combustion chamber and the temperature of the piston top, is substantially reduced.
A very Well known type of heat protecting plate, that has been in use for years in highspeed two-cycle Diesel engines consists essentially of a fiat disc of austenitic steel, whose center is solidly fastened to the piston crown by a bolt or equivalent means. Contact betweenplate and piston is limited to two narrow annular surface elements contained substantially in the same plane perpendicular to the piston axis, one near the bolt, and the other near the periphery of, the plate. Both annular surface elements are` concentric withthe piston. It is important, in order to avoid overheating of the plate, that the contact along said two annular surface elements be maintained at all times, and it is equally l tact. Therefore when the bolt is blocked, forcing the inner annular surfaces against one another, the plate gets a certain amount of resilient deformation that maintains the outer annular surfaces in contact under a determined pressure, sufficient to secure 4good heat conduction but still permitting sliding motion of the plate relative to the piston when the former expands or contracts.
One of the drawbacks of said construction is that in operation the temperature of that side of the plate which is toward the combustion chamber, is higher thanl that of the side `which is close to the pist'on. The platertherefore tends to assume a convex form, which increases the pressure of contact at its outer periphery and accordingly increases the stress in the plate.- If the piston overheats, asit may happen when the engine is overloaded or is operating under poor combustion conditions, permanent deformation of the plate may occur, its contact with the piston near its periphery may come to an end, whereby the temperature of the plate is likely to attain destructive values. Another drawback is thatv a platel secured to the piston by a single centrally located bolt, has to be made of considerable thickness, thereby adding considerably to the weight of the reciprocating parts.
Further development, in connection with Diesel aircraft engine research, has led toan improvedv Aby means of a clutch wrench adjusted to limit the torque applied to the srrating nuts, to a value that corresponds to said predetermined load. Said bolts are mounted in the piston with clearance, so that their end connected with the plate can mo've radially .and does not interfere with the thermal expansion of the latter. This design appears to be quite satisfactory in operation, in that a. very high engine specific power output may be obtained, and the plate may be made comparatively light, mounted Without initial stress to withstand high temperature with out permanent deformation. However the inclusion of a number of long bolts in the piston increases considerably the complication and the weight of the latter; and the number of bolts can hardly be made as large as it would be desirable, in order to evenly distribute the pressure on the plate.
'Ihe present invention concerns improvements to the heat protecting plate, as well as to the means for attaching the same to the piston,
together with other improvements as-it will appear from the following description in connection with the appended drawing-- 1 In the drawing: Fig. 1 is a partial sectional elevtion of a piston provided with heat protecting plate; Fig. 2 is a view of a retaining ring; Fig. 3 is a View of a retaining ring of different design; Fig. 4 is a partial section of a piston with a different form of plate; Fig. 5 is a partial section of a pistol with another form of plate; Fig. 6 is a partial section of a piston provided with a heat protecting plate of still different design.
In Fig. 1 a piston 8 for internal combustion engine has at its top a cylindric cavity l0, adapted of cavity I0, which is machined so that the surface of contact between plate l2 and piston 8, is limited to'two narrow annular portions 25, 26, thereby reducingto a very low value the amount of heat directly owing therebetween under .a given difference of temperature;
The radial clearance of plate I2 in the piston cavity, allows for thermic expansion of plate I2 owing to its high operating temperature, so that the external cylindrical surface of plate ,|2, does not come into contact with the inner surface of the piston cavity.
Direct transmission of heat from the combustion gases to the piston is thus almost entirely ei/iimnated, whiietne heat transmitted to the piston from the high temperature plate, is reduced to a very low. value owing to the limited area of contact therebetween. The temperature of the piston skirt and ring belt. is therefore wall 20, acts as a heat screen between the plate I2 and the cylinder wall. v.
While the retaining ring 24 may be any conventional fiat split ring made of suitable heat resisting material, in Figs. 2 and 3 are shown, free, two preferred forms of retaining rings that. when compressed to assume substantially flat parallel surfaces, and mounted in groove 22, are capable of exerting on plate I2 a predetermined load. The split ring shown in Fig. 2 has an undulated or corrugated form, so that when it is axially compressed and forced in the piston groove 22, between the upper surface deiining said groove and the plate I2, it resiliently exerts on number of points near the periphery of the latter, a predetermined load, whose function s to maintain the plate I2 at all times in contact with the annular portion 25 of the piston, to secure heat conduction therebetween, said load being however not great enough to prevent sliding motion of plate I2 on the annular portion 25 of piston 8, when the former is expanding or contracting, The split ring shown in Fig. 3 is an alternative form of retainer. It is preferably made of spring steel wire of high heat and corrosion resisting ability, preferably of square or rectangular cross section, and has conical surfaces. When axially compressed and assembled in groove 22 against the plate I2, it resiliently exerts a predetermined pressure uniformly distributed along the Whole periphery of the latter. Itis otherwise equivalent to the ring of Fig.`2.
In pistons of small diameter the bolt I4 may be omitted, as indicated in Fig. 4, and the operating temperature of plate I2 may be increased, without unduly reducing the width of the annular surface of contact 25, by inserting another plate I3, `or several other plates, between plate I2 and piston 8. The area of contact between plates element as shown in Fig. 4.
Obviously, the heat protecting plate I2 is not necessarily a iiat disc, but may assume various forms to suit the particular requirements of the type of engine for which itis designed. In Figs. 5`and 6, two diiferent forms of heat protecting plates are shown.
These embodiments of the invention have been shown merely for purpose of illustration, and not r as a limitation of the scope of lthe invention. It is, therefore, to be expressly understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments shown, but may be used in various other ways, in connection with other devices or mechanisms, and various modifications may'be made to suit different requirements, and that other changes, modicatlons, substitutions, additions and omissions may be made in the construction, arrangement and manner of operation of the parts within the limits of the invention, as defined in the following claims.
