Definitions
- Monobloc pistons for diesel engine applications are known wherein the piston skirt is formed as an integral portion of the piston body, as opposed as being articulated.
- Such pistons are known to have piston slarts that are of such length and/or are positioned such that the lower edge of the skirt extends well below the bottom of the pin bosses to provide the desired support and guidance to the piston as it reciprocates within the cylinder of the engine.
- Such low lying skirts can extend outside of the cylinder liner at bottom dead center position of the piston and can lead to scuffing of the piston skirt and/or liner due to the sudden change in load
- skirt interferes with the location of oil injection nozzles which direct cooling oil up
- the piston disclosed in the latter publication has a short, low lying piston skirt which is uncoupled fro the ring belt and, due to the wide gap between the bottom of the ring belt and the top of the skirt as well as the low, remote positioning of the skirt, transfers some of the piston guidance duties to the ring lands near the top of the piston, which is less efficient and could cause damage to the ring lands as well as
- a pair of pin bosses have axially
- the piston body has a
- the invention also contemplates a diesel engine which includes an
- cylinder bore having a piston body fabricated of steel and including a pair of pin bosses with aligned pin bores disposed about a pin bore axis and having a lowest tangent point to the pin bores.
- a piston skirt is formed as one piece wit the pin bosses and has a lower edge disposed below the pin bore axis at or above the lowest tangent point of the pin bores.
- the high location of the lower edge of the skirt prevents the skirt from extending from the bottom of the cylinder bore at bottom dead center of the piston, and thus minimizes or eliminates scuffing of the skirt caused by a sudden change in load or direction when the piston returns upwardly.
- the relatively high location of the lower edge of the skirt also provides ample clearance for the oil jet nozzles, eliminating the need for clearance notches in the lower edge of the skirt so as to present a continuous, non- interrupted lower leading edge of the skirt which is stronger and easier to manufacture than notched skirts.
- the overall reduction and the height of the skirt further has the
- Figure 1 is a bottom perspective view of a piston constructed
- Figure 2 is a side elevation view of the piston of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 is a fragmentary elevation view like Figure 2, but shown
- Figure 4 is a schematic, fragmentary sectional view of a diesel engine
- a piston constructed according to the invention is shown generally at 10 in Figures 1-3 and is shown installed as part of a diesel engine 12 in Figure 4.
- the piston 10 includes a piston body 14 having a top wall 16 formed with a combustion bowl or crater 18 extending downwardly from a top surface 20 of
- the piston body 14 includes an outer annular wall or ring belt 22
- the outer wall 22 includes an annular inner surface 28
- the piston body 14 includes an annular inner wall 30 extending
- the piston body 14 preferably includes a bottom wall 34 which extends between and interconnects the lower end regions of the outer wall 22 and
- inner walls 30 bound an annular cooling chamber or gallery 36 for receiving
- a representative oil inlet opening 38 is shown in Figure 3, as is a
- the piston body 14 includes a pair of pin bosses 42.
- the pin bosses 42 are a pair of pin bosses 42.
- the pin bosses 42 are formed with pin bores 44 which receive a wrist
- the pin bores 44 are aligned about a common pin bore axis A, which
- the pin bores 14 have a lowest tangent point 46, which represents
- the piston body 14 includes a piston skirt 50 that is formed as one piece with the pin bores 44, such that the piston body 14 has a monobloc structure with a fixed skirt, rather than a separate skirt articulated to the pin bosses by the wrist pin (not shown).
- the skirt 50 is further preferably formed with an upper end region
- piston skirt 50 coupled directly to the outer wall 22, such that the piston skirt 50 is formed as
- piston skirt 50 is also interconnected as one piece with the bottom wall 34,
- the piston skirt 50 has a lower, marginal free edge 54 which defines the lowest part of the skirt 50 in the longitudinal direction of the piston body 14.
- the location of the lower edge 54 is such mat is provides a relatively short piston skirt 50 as compared to conventional piston skirts.
- the lower edge 54 of the piston skirt 50 is disposed at a location which is below the level of the pin bore axis Abut which is at or above the lowest tangent point 46 of the pin bores 44, and more preferably above the lowest tangent point 46.
- the piston body 14 has the following
- H/D 0.5 - 0.75
- AID 0.3 - 0.6
- A/H 0.7 - 1.2
- the lower edge 54 of the piston skirt 50 is relatively smooth and continuous and free of any clearance notches for oil nozzles or the like.
- the piston body 14 is preferably fabricated of at least two separate components
- the piston body 14 includes an
- the joint 56 of the preferred embodiment is preferably a friction
- the invention contemplates other approaches to joining separately formed piston parts, such as bonding, brazing, bolting, joint threads, etc. which would operate to unite the separately formed parts as a single, unified structure once joined for service as a piston body 14.
- the lower part 60 includes the pin bosses 42, piston skirt 50, bottom wall 34, and lower portions of the outer and inner walls 24, 30, with the friction weld joint 56 provided in the outer and inner walls 22, 30.
- the lower part 60 is preferably forged from steel.
- the upper part 60 includes the top wall 16, the bowl 18, and upper portions of the outer
- FIG. 4 illustrates the piston 10 described above installed in the diesel
- the piston 14 is illustrated in its bottom dead center position, which is the lowest point that the piston 10 travels in the cylinder 62. It will be seen that the piston skirt 50 is contained within the cylinder 62, such that the lower edge 52 of the skirt 50 does not extend below the lower edge 64 of the cylinder 62 in which it reciprocates.
