Abstract

The small end bush of a small end bearing of a connecting rod has oil collecting pockets on both end faces in the form of recesses of small radial depth. These oil collecting pockets are capable of catching injected oil and allowing it to pass into the gap between piston pin and small end bush as soon as the connecting rod is relieved.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Pleuelstange für einen Kolbenmotor, bei der ein Kolbenbolzen in einer Pleuelbuchse eines Pleuelauges gelagert ist, welche zur Schmierung Ölzuführmittel hat.The invention relates to a connecting rod for a piston engine, in which a piston pin in a Connecting rod bushing of a connecting rod eye is mounted, which for Lubrication has oil feed.

Die für heutige Kraftfahrzeuge verwendeten Kolbenmotoren weisen Pleuelstangen dieser Art auf. Zur Schmierung der Pleuelbuchse im Pleuelauge ist meist in der Pleuelstange eine Bohrung vorgesehen, die zu einer Bohrung in der Pleuelbuchse führt. Diese Art der Ölzufuhr ist relativ aufwendig und führt zu einer noch nicht optimalen Schmie­ rung, insbesondere weil das Öl in einem Bereich in die Pleuelbuchse eintritt, der beim Aufwärtshub des Kolbens einer maximalen Belastung unterworfen ist.The piston engines used for today's motor vehicles have connecting rods of this type. To lubricate the The connecting rod bush in the connecting rod eye is usually in the connecting rod a hole is provided which leads to a hole in the Connecting rod bushing leads. This type of oil supply is relative complex and leads to a not yet optimal Schmie tion, especially because the oil is in an area in the Connecting rod bushing occurs during the upward stroke of the piston is subjected to a maximum load.

Durch die US-PS 38 01 173 ist es für das untere Pleuel­ lager bekannt, im Bereich der Trennfugen beider Lager­ schalen über die gesamte Breite der Lagerschalen verlau­ fende Schmiermittelnuten vorzusehen, in die jeweils eine Schmiermittelbohrung der Kurbelwelle mündet. Die Schmier­ mittelnuten, welche etwa 2 mm tief sind, verlaufen je­ weils in den Bereichen der Lagerschalen, welche kaum durch Kräfte beansprucht sind, so daß die dort fehlende Lager­ fläche sich nicht nachteilig auswirkt. Da die Lager­ schalen üblicherweise durch Anlaufscheiben axial fixiert sind, kann an den Stirnflächen der Lagerschalen kein oder nur wenig Öl aus den Schmiermittelnuten austreten.By US-PS 38 01 173 it is for the lower connecting rod known camp, in the area of the joints of both camps shells blue over the entire width of the bearing shells to provide lubricant grooves, one in each Lubricant hole in the crankshaft opens. The grease middle grooves, which are about 2 mm deep, each run because in the areas of the bearing shells, which hardly through Forces are used, so that there is no bearing area does not have an adverse effect. Because the camp shells usually fixed axially by thrust washers are not possible on the end faces of the bearing shells or only a little oil comes out of the lubricant grooves.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Pleuel­ stange der eingangs genannten Art derart zu gestalten, daß mit möglichst geringem Aufwand eine optimale Schmie­ rung der Pleuelbuchse im Pleuelauge erreicht ist.The invention has for its object a connecting rod to design the rod of the type mentioned at the beginning, that with the least possible effort an optimal Schmie of the connecting rod bushing in the connecting rod eye is reached.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Ölzuführmittel Ölfangtaschen in Form von Aussparun­ gen in zumindest einer Stirnseite der Pleuelbuchse sind.This object is achieved in that the oil supply means oil pockets in the form of recess gene in at least one end face of the connecting rod bushing.

Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung kann man auf Ölzuführbohrungen in der Pleuelstange und in der Pleuel­ buchse verzichten. Die Ölzufuhr erfolgt vielmehr mittels der Ölfangtaschen, die in der Lage sind, Spritzöl aus dem Kurbelwellengehäuse aufzufangen und bei kraftent­ lasteter Pleuelstange in den Kapillarspalt zwischen Kol­ benbolzen und Pleuelbuchse gelangen zu lassen. Dadurch wird mit geringem Aufwand eine wirkungsvolle und zuver­ lässig arbeitende Schmierung der Pleuelbuchse erreicht.With this design according to the invention one can Oil supply holes in the connecting rod and in the connecting rod do without the socket. The oil supply is rather by means of the oil trap bags that are capable of splashing oil out to catch the crankcase and at powerful loaded connecting rod in the capillary gap between col bolts and connecting rod bushing. Thereby becomes an effective and reliable with little effort casual lubrication of the connecting rod bushing achieved.

Das Öl in den Ölfangtaschen vermag im entlasteten Zu­ stand des oberen Pleuellagers in den dann klaffenden Kapillarspalt zwischen dem Kolbenbolzen und der Pleuel­ buchse zu gelangen. Durch das infolge wechselnder Be- und Entlastung wechselnde Spiel tritt eine Pumpwirkung ein, so daß eine wirkungsvolle Schmierung der Pleuel­ buchse sichergestellt ist.The oil in the oil catcher pockets can be relieved the upper connecting rod bearing stood in the gaping Capillary gap between the piston pin and the connecting rod socket to arrive. Due to the changing and relief changing game occurs a pumping action one, so that an effective lubrication of the connecting rods socket is ensured.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn an jeder Stirnseite der Pleuel­ buchse zwei Ölfangtaschen einander gegenüberliegend in einem rechten Winkel zur Längserstreckung der Pleuel­ stange angeordnet sind. Solche Ölfangtaschen liegen in kräftemäßig kaum beanspruchten Pleuelbuchsenbereichen, so daß sie ausreichend groß für eine gute Schmierung bemessen werden können, ohne daß die Lagerfläche in hochbeanspruchten Bereichen unzulässig klein wird. It is advantageous if the connecting rod is on each end face socket two oil catcher pockets opposite each other in a right angle to the longitudinal extension of the connecting rods rod are arranged. Such oil pockets are in connecting rod bushing areas that are hardly stressed in terms of force, making them big enough for good lubrication can be dimensioned without the storage area in heavily used areas becomes impermissibly small.  

Das eingefangene Öl zieht durch Kapillarwirkung in die Fangtaschen hinein und wird dort festgehalten, wenn gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Ölfangtaschen in radialer Richtung eine eine Kapillar­ wirkung hervorrufende, sehr geringe Tiefe haben.The captured oil is drawn into the by capillary action Catch pockets in and be held there when according to another embodiment of the invention Oil collection pockets in the radial direction and a capillary have very shallow depth.

Als besonders wirkungsvoll hat sich eine Tiefe von etwa 0,15-0,05 mm erwiesen.A depth of approximately has proven to be particularly effective 0.15-0.05 mm.

Die übrigen Abmessungen der Ölfangtaschen sind optimal, wenn die Ölfangtaschen von beiden Seiten her etwa 3 mm in die Pleuelbuchse hineinreichen und jeweils etwa 8 mm breit sind.The other dimensions of the oil collecting bags are optimal, if the oil catcher pockets are about 3 mm from both sides extend into the connecting rod bushing and each about 8 mm are wide.

Statt über ihre Länge gleichmäßig tief, kann man die Ölfangtaschen auch sich zu den Stirnseiten der Pleuel­ buchse hin erweiternd ausbilden.Instead of being equally deep over their length, you can use the Oil trap pockets also extend to the front of the connecting rods Train the socket to expand.

Die Erfindung läßt zahlreiche Ausführungsformen zu. Zur weiteren Verdeutlichung ihres Grundprinzips sind zwei davon in der Zeichnung dargestellt und werden nachfol­ gend beschrieben. Die Zeichnung zeigt inThe invention allows numerous embodiments. To further clarification of their basic principle are two of which are shown in the drawing and will follow described below. The drawing shows in

Fig. 4 einen Horizontalschnitt durch eine Pleuel­ buchse der Pleuelstange gemäß Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section through a connecting rod receptacle of the connecting rod of FIG. 2.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt das obere Ende einer Pleuelstange 1 eines Kraftfahrzeugmotors. Zu sehen ist ein Pleuelauge 2, in welchem eine Pleuelbuchse 3 sitzt, die einen nicht gezeigten Kolbenbolzen lagert. In einem Winkel von 90 Grad zur Längserstreckung der Pleuelstange sind in bei­ den Stirnseiten der Pleuelbuchse 3 insgesamt vier Ölfang­ taschen in Form von Aussparungen vorgesehen, von denen drei Ölfangtaschen 4, 5, 6 zu sehen sind. Diese Ölfang­ taschen 4, 5, 6 haben in radialer Richtung eine Tiefe von 0,15-0,05 mm, sind 8 mm breit und reichen in axia­ ler Richtung etwa 3 mm in die Pleuelbuchse 3 hinein. Durch diese geringe Tiefe sind die Ölfangtaschen 4, 5, 6 auf Grund von Kapillarkräften in der Lage, eingefangenes Spritzöl zu halten und in den Spalt zwischen Kolbenbol­ zen und Pleuelbuchse schießen zu lassen, so oft sich die Pleuelstange 1 in einem unbelasteten Zustand befindet. Fig. 1 shows the upper end of a connecting rod 1 of a motor vehicle engine. A connecting rod eye 2 can be seen, in which a connecting rod bushing 3 is seated, which supports a piston pin (not shown). At an angle of 90 degrees to the longitudinal extension of the connecting rod, a total of four oil collecting pockets in the form of recesses are provided in the end faces of the connecting rod bushing 3 , three of which oil collecting pockets 4, 5, 6 can be seen. These oil pockets 4, 5, 6 have a depth of 0.15-0.05 mm in the radial direction, are 8 mm wide and extend in the axial direction about 3 mm into the connecting rod bushing 3 . Due to this shallow depth, the oil collecting pockets 4, 5, 6 are able, due to capillary forces, to hold captured spray oil and to shoot them into the gap between the piston pin and the connecting rod bushing as often as the connecting rod 1 is in an unloaded state.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 2, 3 und 4 sind, genau wie bei der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungs­ form, in den Stirnseiten der Pleuelbuchse 3 Ölfang­ taschen vorgesehen, wobei die Fig. 4 alle vier Ölfang­ taschen 4, 5, 6, 7 zeigt. Zu erkennen ist jedoch, daß diese Ölfangtaschen 4 bis 7 von den Stirnseiten her schräg in die Pleuelbuchse 3 hineinführen. Die Ölfang­ taschen 4 bis 7 erweitern sich nach außen hin. Dadurch können sie besonders wirkungsvoll Spritzöl einfangen.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, just like in the embodiment described above, 3 oil collecting pockets are provided in the end faces of the connecting rod bushing, FIG. 4 showing all four oil collecting pockets 4, 5, 6, 7 . However, it can be seen that these oil pockets 4 to 7 lead obliquely into the connecting rod bushing 3 from the end faces. The oil pockets 4 to 7 expand outwards. This enables them to capture spray oil particularly effectively.
