Abstract
Description
また、熱変形により第1舌部及び第2舌部の先端側が径方向外方へ膨らもうとすることにより、第1舌部及び第2舌部の曲率半径がシリンダ内周面の曲率半径よりも大きくなり、第1舌部及び第2舌部の根元側がシリンダ内周面から離れやすくなる。
前記本体部の一端から他端に延在し、前記本体部の径方向外側であって、前記軸線方向の一方側に前記周方向に沿って延在する嵌合溝が形成された第1舌部と、
前記本体部の前記他端から前記一端に延在し、前記嵌合溝に嵌合することにより前記第1舌部と共に合口部を形成する第2舌部とを備え、
前記第1舌部及び前記第2舌部の各々の外周面は、前記径方向にて外方へ膨らんだバレル形状に形成されている。
前記第1舌部の外周面において前記径方向最外側に位置する第1舌部バレルセンタ、前記本体部の外周面において前記径方向最外側に位置する本体部バレルセンタ、及び、前記第2舌部の外周面において前記径方向最外側に位置する第2舌部バレルセンタは、連続して延在している。
この構成によれば、第1舌部バレルセンタ、本体部バレルセンタ及び第2舌部バレルセンタがスパイラル状に延在しているので、第1舌部バレルセンタ、本体部バレルセンタ及び第2舌部バレルセンタの成形が容易である。また、バレルセンタがピストンリングの全周に渡って本体部の周方向に対して傾斜しているので、エンジン運転時、シリンダ内周面との摺動抵抗により、ピストンリングに対し全周に渡って、軸線回りに回転させる方向の分力が作用する。このため、ピストンリングがシリンダ内周面に対して回転しやすく、一定の場所で接触面圧が高くなることが防止され、ピストンリングやシリンダ内周面の偏摩耗が抑制される。
前記本体部バレルセンタは、前記周方向に延びる中間部と、前記第1舌部バレルセンタ及び前記第2舌部バレルセンタの各々と前記中間部との間を延びる傾斜部とを含む。
前記他方の側の領域において前記径方向最外側に位置する第1本体部バレルセンタは、前記第1舌部の外周面において前記径方向最外側に位置する第1舌部バレルセンタに連なり、
前記一方の側の領域において前記径方向最外側に位置する第2本体部バレルセンタは、前記第2舌部の外周面において前記径方向最外側に位置する第2舌部バレルセンタに連なっている。
更に、2条のバレルセンタを設けることで、各バレルセンタとシリンダ内周面との間の接触面圧が低減されるとともに、シリンダ内周面に対しピストンリングの外周面が傾くことが防止され、ピストンリングやシリンダ内周面の偏摩耗を抑制することができる。
但し、実施形態に記載されている構成部品の寸法、材質、形状、その相対配置などは特に特定的な記載がない限り、この発明の範囲をそれのみに限定する趣旨ではなく、単なる説明例にすぎない。
図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るピストンリング10が適用されたエンジン1の構成を概略的に示す断面図である。エンジン1は、例えば舶用2サイクル大型ディーゼルエンジン等である。
エンジン1は、シリンダ2と、シリンダ2内に往復動自在に配置されたピストン3と、シリンダ2の一端を覆うシリンダヘッド4とを備える。シリンダ2の一端側には、シリンダ2、ピストン3及びシリンダヘッド4によって燃焼室5が区画されている。
本体部10aは、軸線CL回りの周方向(以下、単に周方向ともいう)に沿って延在している。
図3に示したように、第1舌部12は、周方向にて本体部10aの一端から延在している。第1舌部12は、ピストンリング10の内周側を形成する内周片12aと、内周片12aの軸線方向における燃焼室5側から本体部10aの径方向にて外方に突出する当接片12bと、を備えている。内周片12a及び当接片12bは、周方向と直交する断面にてL字の断面形状を有しており、周方向に延在する嵌合溝12cを形成している。嵌合溝12cは、本体部10aの径方向にて外側に位置し、且つ、軸線方向におけるクロスヘッド側(クランク室)側に位置している。
図4(A)及び図4(B)に示したように、ピストンリング10の第1舌部12の外周面12d、第2舌部13の外周面13d、及び、本体部10aの外周面10dは、径方向にて外方へ膨らんだバレル形状にそれぞれ形成されている。従って、第1舌部12の外周面12dには、軸線方向にて中間に、径方向にて最も外側に位置する第1舌部バレルセンタBC1が形成され、第2舌部13の外周面13dには、軸線方向にて中間に、径方向にて最も外側に位置する第2舌部バレルセンタBC2が形成され、本体部10aの外周面10dには、軸線方向にて中間に、径方向にて最も外側に位置する本体部バレルセンタBC3が形成されている。
従って、第1舌部バレルセンタBC1、本体部バレルセンタBC3及び第2舌部バレルセンタBC2は連続して延在しており、ピストンリング10の外周面に全周に渡って延在する一つのバレルセンタBCを形成している。
このため、軸線方向にて第1舌部12と第2舌部13とが重なり合う重ね合わせ領域S3(図3参照)では、軸線方向に離間して2条のバレルセンタ、即ち第1舌部バレルセンタBC1と第2舌部バレルセンタBC2が存在し、優れたシール性が確保される。
このように第1舌部12のエッジ部12g及び第2舌部13のエッジ部13gの片当たりが防止される結果として、ピストンリング10やシリンダ内周面2aの偏摩耗が抑制され、ピストンリング10の耐久性が更に向上する。
以下、本発明の第2実施形態に係るエンジンのピストンリング20について説明する。なお、以下の実施形態の説明では、先に説明した実施形態と同一又は類似の構成には、同一の名称又は符号を付して、説明を省略又は簡略化する。
図6は、ピストンリング20の外周面を展開して概略的に示す図である。図7は、ピストンリング20の図4(A)に相当する図である。
以下、本発明の第3実施形態に係るエンジンのピストンリング30について説明する。
図8は、ピストンリング30の外周面を展開して概略的に示す図である。図9(A)及び(B)は、ピストンリング30の図4(A)及び(B)にそれぞれ相当する図である。
更に、2条のバレルセンタBCを設けることで、各バレルセンタBCとシリンダ内周面2aとの間の接触面圧が低減されるとともに、シリンダ内周面2aに対しピストンリング30の外周面が傾くことが防止され、ピストンリング30やシリンダ内周面2aの偏摩耗を抑制することができる。
例えば、第1乃至第3実施形態において、本体部10aの外周面をバレル形状に形成せず、周方向に直交する断面でみて平坦に形成してもよい。つまり、少なくとも第1舌部12の外周面12d及び第2舌部13の外周面13dがそれぞれバレル形状に形成されていればよい。
更に、第3実施形態では、第1本体部バレルセンタBC5及び第2本体部バレルセンタBC6のうち一方を省略してもよい。
最後に、本発明に係るエンジンのピストンリングは、舶用2サイクル大型ディーゼルエンジンに好適であるが、他のエンジンに適用してもよいのは勿論である。
