BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is directed to pistons for alternative, endothermic engines. Notches or grooves are cut on opposite sides of the oval surface of the piston skirt
and arranged in a parallel fashion with respect to the piston pin. The grooves create concavities which are closed off frontally by the cylinder wall and laterally by the piston skirt. The purpose of these grooves is to create a series of pockets for the lubricating oil, which is under pressure during engine operation, and to improve lubrication in the areas of maximum piston stress.
2. The Prior Art
The lubrication of the pistons of internal combustion alternative engines, particularly four-cycle engines, may be insufficient in certain cases and under particular engine operating conditions. This can lead to a considerable increase in piston and engine noise in addition to seizing and scoring of the piston skirt and cylinder wall.
Different methods of improving engine lubrication by changing the angular profile of the piston are used to solve such problems.
Maximum piston stress, and therefore maximum wear, is known to be located in an area 20° on either side of a line perpendicular to the axis created by the piston pin on both sides of the piston skirt.
The purpose of the present invention is to improve lubrication in said areas, which are subject to greater pressure and wear.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention, on the basis of studies conducted, regards pistons for alternative, endothermic engines--particularly four-cycle engines--in which grooves or notches in those areas of the piston skirt which undergo the highest specific pressures have the purpose of holding a pre-established quantity of oil under pressure considerably improving the lubrication of the piston.
These grooves create closed concavities delimited frontally by the inner cylinder wall and laterally by the remaining parts of the piston skirt; said grooves, located on both sides of the oval piston surfaces, are arranged in a parallel fashion with respect to the piston pin.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will be described further, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows a front view of a piston which may have any profile;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of the same piston at line II--II of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3, on an enlarged scale, illustrates the longitudinal profile of the piston skirt;
FIG. 4 is a quarter section or quadrant of the piston skirt's angular profile.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference to the drawings, 1 indicates the piston comprising the head 3, below which is located the skirt 2; 4 indicates the ring grooves used to hold the various rings, 5 is the axis of the piston pin, and 5a refers to the flattened faces of the piston skirt, which are 90° with respect to the piston pin.
Grooves 6 having the profile illustrated in FIG. 1, and a radial depth ranging from 0.005 to around 0.05 mm, varying depending on the conventional profile which a piston should have, are created, preferentially by diamond cutting, on both sides of the piston skirt parallel to the axis 5 of the piston pin. The grooves 6 have a angular extension of approximately 50° (FIGS. 2 and 3) and are located on diametrically opposite sides of the piston (FIG. 2) parallel to the axis of the piston pin.
The number and spacing of the grooves are pre-established based on the height of the skirt 2 and points of contact of said skirt with the cylinder wall.
With reference to FIG. 3, the grooves 6 are parallel and one underneath the other in the profile of the skirt C and are located on both sides of the piston 1 (FIG. 2).
With reference to FIG. 4, which is a schematic drawing of a quadrant of an angular cross-section of the piston skirt 2 with respect to the axis of the piston pin; only part of the groove can be seen. 7 is a circle indicating the maximum piston circumference, while C indicates the true profile of the piston at the cross-sectional plane.
The transverse base of each groove 6 with respect to the skirt 2 is defined by profile P; and grooves are defined laterally, at the top, and at the bottom by points C1, which are the intersection of profile P with profile C.
The grooves 6, on opposite sides of the piston skirt, are closed off by the internal surface of the cylinder walls creating pockets of compressed lubricant as a result of the alternating movement of the pistons within and with respect to the cylinder.
The dimensions of each groove 6 have the following preferential values:
depth: 0.005-0.05 mm
length: 5 mm
angular section: 40°
On the basis of experimental studies, the improvement herein described creates a cushion of oil in the areas of greatest piston stress having the following features.
Each groove 6 is a pocket for the accumulation of lubricating oil, which is pressurized during piston movement in the cylinder providing adequate lubrication.
Constant lubrication is obtained in the areas under the greatest stress eliminating problems of micro-seizing, which frequently occurs in very high-speed engines.
There is a considerable reduction in sliding friction due to the presence of oil pockets and a reduced piston skirt surface area resulting from the presence of the two series of grooves 6.
There is a reduction in piston noise owing to the presence of a oil cushion.
Production costs for constructing pistons 1 having two opposite rows of grooves 6 are low as this process can be carried out during piston skirt construction.
Mechanical efficiency of engines equipped with said pistons is considerably improved.
The grooves can be constructed using numerically controlled machine tools at the same time as profile C and join the surface of the piston skirt. Said grooves can be created in an initial diamond cutting operation and shall have a longitudinal and angular profile C; a second operation completes groove construction in which the resulting grooves have a given depth and an angular section of approximately 40°. Said section has a non-oval angular profile or a profile which in any case is less than that of the piston skirt surface.
