Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piston of an internal combustion engine, said piston having been provided with a hollow void underneath the piston bottom, said hollow void having been provided with a coolant feed and an outlet which has been positioned and dimensioned in such a way that there is always a quantity of coolant in the hollow void, said coolant only partially filling said void.
  • a piston is generally known. Cooling the piston is effected by splashing the quantity of coolant in the hollow void against the lower part of the piston bottom every time the piston moves upwards and downwards.
  • the coolant may be supplied from the usual pressure-feed circuit of the internal combustion engine via passages in the connect ing rod and piston rod, if the latter is present.
  • the disad- A vantage of this way of cooling the piston is that the coolant hits the surface of the piston bottom generally in a perpendicular direction, because of which in principle the coolant will not flow along the piston bottom, and the heat to be carried off will only with difficulty be transmitted to the coolant.
  • This makes for a poor cooling of the piston bottom, causing the coolant coming in direct contact with the bottom to become overheated, because it is not regularly renewed. This may present difficulties when this oil is coming from the lubricant circuit, for example.
  • the piston bottom of which has surface parts entirely or substantially covered by or abutting a surface perpendicular to the central axis of the piston the orifice(s) or slot(s) are according to the invention preferably situated in the neighborhood of those surface parts. At the site of those surface parts the coolant will be inclined to flow away from the surface. By directing the jet of coolant towards those parts on purpose, it is ensured that the cooling of those parts is done properly, and the layer of coolant is constantly changed.
  • the supply pipe preferably empties in the hollow void via an angular recess at the innermost side of the piston skirt. This makes for an even distribution of the coolant at the site of the slot, and cooling of the piston skirt as well.
  • an insert to be constructed inside the piston said insert having been provided with an axial bore passing through a central thickened part, said bore communicating with a discharge bore in the piston rod, said insert having an additional void situated in a concentric position around the axial bore and communicating with the supply pipe in the piston rod, and a cylindrical wall or rib which forms the annular recess together with the inner wall of the piston, in which rib the hollow void of the piston is situated and which has been provided with passages connecting the aforesaid'concentric void with the annular hollow void.
  • the drawing shows a piston l with a bottom 2, a skirt 3, a lower cover 4 with a piston rod 5.
  • the piston rod is located in a crosshead 6 connected to the connecting rod 7, said connecting rod 7 being mounted on a pivot 8.
  • Crosshead, connecting rod and pivot have not been shown in detail, as they are irrelevant to a proper understanding of the invention.
  • an insert 9 provided with a centrally thickened portion 10 with a bore communicating with the discharge bore 11 in the piston rod.
  • a passage 12 has been constructed disposed concentrically around this discharge bore 11, and opening into a hollow void 13 formed between the lower part of the insert 9 and the cover 4.
  • the insert has an annular wall or rib 14 which forms an annular hollow void 15 together with the skirt 3, ending immediately underneath the bottom 2 in such a way that an annular slot 16 is formed at the site.
  • the insert has passages 17 which connect the annular recess 15 to the void 13.
  • a hollow void 18 is thus formed, in which hollow a quantity of oil is collected below and around the outlet of the discharge 11 starting in the thickened portion 10 during each lower reach of the stroke.
  • the excess oil will flow off to the sump via the discharge pipe 11. There will not be a column in the discharge pipe, which column might have an adverse action, because the open passage of the outlet is large compared with the quantity of oil to be carried off.
  • the slot through which the stream of oil appears and will flow along the piston bottom naturally need not be at exactly the highest level of the interior bottom surface of the piston, as it is in the drawing. Neither has the slot to be of annular design.
  • the oil may also be supplied via a number of pipes, the outlets of which end so closely below the bottom surface that a slot is obtained at the site of each pipe. lt will be obvious that another coolant may also be used instead of oil, said coolant in that case being'supplied in a different way, for instance via a separate cooling circuit.
  • a piston for an internal combustion engine said piston having a piston rod connected thereto, a wall on the same side of said piston as the piston rod, a bottom on the side of said piston opposite said wall, a skirt extending between said wall and said bottom, said skirt, wall and bottom together defining a void within said piston that is partly filled with a quantity of jacent surface of said bottom a restricted passage between opposite sides of the sleeve, said surface of said bottom at the location of said restricted passage having a cross-sectional contour in the shape of a gently curved line connecting the inner surface of the skirt with a convex central portion of said bottom, said convex portion extending substantially within the cylindrical wall of said sleeve, the tangent to said curved line at a location along said restricted passage being perpendicular to the axis of the piston 1'' I! l 1 I
