T 0 all 107mm it :ma-y concern:
of the King of Great Britain, residing v.at Ithaca, in the county of Tompkins and State of N ew York, have invented a new and useful Motor-Cylinder, of which thefollowing is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in the cydinders of internal combustion motors,- and has for its object the )roductionof a cylin der that can be effectively cooled with either air or water, and that can be manufactured at a low cost. These objects are attained in the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a horizontal section on the line 00-11 through the body of the cylinder shown in Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the cylinder, the section being taken on the line ab in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view in sectional elevation of a slightly modified form of cylinder; Figs. 4 and 5 are sectional views showing modified forms of one of the structural elements; Fig; 6 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a horizontally arranged cylinder embodying my invention; Fig. 7 is a vertical section taken on the line m.n in Fig. 6; Fig. Sis an elevation of the head of the cylindershown in Fig. 6; and Fig. 9 is'a' vertical section through the body of a horizontally arranged cylinder adapted for air cooling only.
Referring in detail to the construction illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the cylinder wall 1 of cast metal'is provided exteriorly with hollow sheet metal ribs 2,dwhieh are formed from metal strips bent in the manner indicated in Fig. 1 The wall and ribs are united by being cast together in one integral structure. A series of passages 3 is thus formed between the inner surfaces of the ribs and the exterior surface of the cylinder wall. Each of these passages opens at one end into the annular chamber 4 formed within the collar 5, and at its opposite end into the chambered boss 6. Ports 7 and 8 open into the chamber 4 and the interior of the chambered boss 6 respectively.
In operation the ports 7 and 8 may either stand open to the atmosphere, or may be connected with piping through which the cooling medium, either air or water, flows or is positively forced. In the first case, a steady stream of cool air is drawn in at the lower opening, follows the annular chamber" 4 around the cylinder, enters the hollow ribs,
g risesto the head of the cylinder and, finally, Be it known that I, DAVID REID, a subject 1' passes out through the hollow boss 6. A strong, equally distributed circulation of.air
is thus maintained on all sides of the cylinder. In the second case, if air is the cooling medium, one of the two openings 7 and S is to be connected with means for positively forcing or drawing the air through the passages surrounding the cylinder. This arrangemeait, of course, produces a greater cooling effect than that first mentioned, in i which reliance is placed on convection circulation alone. .When water is used as the cooling medium the openings 7 and S are con nected'in the same manner .as the common water jacketed cylinder with the piping of a cooling circuit through which the water flows by convection or, by suitable means, is forced to circulate. described several cylinders, with roper pi e connections, can be cooled wit a sing e blower or circulating pump.
It will be observed that practically the entire outer surface of the cylinder wall and both the inner and outer surfaces of the ribs are exposed to a cooling medium and that a direct and unbroken path of metal is provided, to conduct the heat from the cylinder wall to every part of the rib surfaces. I prefer to construct the ribs of copper on account. of thediigh conductivity of this metal, but other metals, steel for example, can be used. In the construction shown in Fig. 2 the-ribs are made in two sections to facilitate the operation of casting. By casting the cylin- With the construction der wall and the ribs together, a perfect contact is secured between the metal of the cylinder wall and that of the ribs and the resulting integral structure is a highly efficient heat conductor.
Previous to my invention numerous Qattempts have been made to cast plane copper ribs in one with the cylinder wall, butnone of them, to my knowledge, have been practically successful. That is to say, it has been found impossible to obtain satisfactory re sults even when the casting was done under the most favorable conditions that can be at tained in practical work. The failure is due to the factthat the sand of the mold can not carry off the heat from the ribs rapidly enough to prevent over heating of the copper, and when such over heating occurs the copper in contact with the molten iron boils and is more or less broken up, also gas is given off and occlueded in the iron thus produeing blowholes which render the iron unsafe for any such purpose as an engine cylinder. I have overcome this radical difficulty by devising the hollow rib which I substitute for the plane rib or fin. In setting up the, mold for my cylinder the hollow ribs are cored but the cores are made to only partially fill the chambers within the ribs, thus leaving a large passage or vent within each rib. \Vhen the molten iron is poured the gases and vapors formed pass freely through these vents and rapidly carry off from the ribs the heat transmitted to them from the iron. This removal of heat isso rapid that injurious overheating of the copper is prevented, so that the embedded part of the rib retains its form and the casting obtained is free of blowholes while, at the same time, the union of copper and iron is such as to produce a perfectly tight joint.
It will now be understood that I have produced a motor cylinder that can be cooled with either air or water, the cooling in either case being highly effective. Further, the advantages of a thoroughly effective forced air cooling are secured with the smallest possible number of structural elements, and
- this fact, together with the method of manuside of the cylinder.
facture, makes it possible to produce the cylinder at a comparatively low cost. 'VVhen air cooling only is to be used, I prefer the construction shown in Fig. 3. Here the passages 3 open at their lower ends directly to the atmosphere, the collar 5", which is used in place of the chambered collar 5, performing a purely structural function.
The app ication of my invention to a horizontally arranged cylinder is illustrated in Figs. 6, 7, 8 and 9. In this case the hollow sheet metal ribs 12 are arranged circumferentially upon the surface of the cylinder wall 11. In the construction shown in Figs. 6 and 7 each rib section opens at one end into a longitudinal chamber 14 on the upper side of the cylinder and at its opposite end into a similarly arranged chamber 15 on the lower The cylinder head 16 is provided with hollow, transverse ribs17 which open at either end into the annular chamber 18 which in turn communicates withthe longitudinal chambers 14 and 15. Openings 19 and 20 are provided for the inlet and outlet of the cooling medium. If the opening 19 is used as the inlet, the cooling medium, air or water, as the case. maybe, upon entering moves along the chamber 15 from which it is distributed over the surface of the cylinder wall, a part rising through the hollow ribs 12 on the side walls of the cylinder and entering the chamber 14 which leads directly to the outlet 20, while the remainder rises through the annular chamber 18 and the hollow ribs 17 across the cylinder head to the outlet. 'As in the case of the vertically arranged cylinder, any suitable means may be used to force the cooling medium through the passages surrounding the cylinder wall.
In Fig. 9 is shown a horizontal cylinder as constructed when air cooling with natural circulation only is to be used. In this case the rib sections have their ends embedded in solid, longitudinal flanges 21, 22. The air enters the ribs through perforations 2.; at the lower side of the cylinder and, rising around the cylinder, passes out through perforations 24 at its upper side. I may prefer to form the hollow, heat radiating ribs with bent or corrugated sides as indicated in Fig. 4 forming longitudinal securing edges or flanges. The corrugations perform a useful function during theprocess of casting, and also increase the heat radiating capacity of the ribs. Also, instead of forming the ribs from sheet metal,closed tubes, either plain or corrugated may be used. In Fig. 5, I show such corrugated form of tubular rib having corrugations 25, forming longitudinal edges or flanges for securing in the cylinder wall by casting.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. In a motor cylinder, the combination of the cylinder wall, a plurality of hollow wrought metal radiating ribs secured to said wall by casting and projecting from the surface thereof, a centrally disposed boss on the head of the cylinder, an annular chamber surrounding the opposite end of the cylinder, said boss and annular chamber being each provided with a port for the passage of a cooling medium, and the interior of each hollow rib being in communication at one end with the interior of said boss and at the other end with said annular chamber.
