Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a compact engine piston assembly for a high output internal combustion engine, and more particularly to a piston assembly including a steel piston member capable of resisting relatively high combustion chamber pressures and temperatures.
- U.S.-A- 4,662,047 discloses a one-piece piston produced by die pressing of a previously forged blank to bend an annular cylindrical collar thereon.
- the patent fails to teach or suggest a relative low ratio of the compression height to the piston diameter, the application thereof in conjunction with an articulated piston, or its used in a high combustion chamber pressure engine.
- the U.S.-A- 4,704,950 teaches the use of a single piece, extremely light and low friction non-articulated piston having a ratio of the compression height to the piston diameter of from 0.20 to 0.35.
- the range as taught by this patent fails to be acceptable when used with a high combustion chamber pressure engine due to the lack of sufficient structural integrity. For example, analytical data has shown that the portion carrying the rings could not withstand the loads and would structurally fail.
- a high output engine piston assembly and piston member therefor which is capable of continuous and efficient operation at combustion chamber pressures above about 13,790 kPa (2,000 psi), and preferably in the region of about 15,170 kPa (2,200 psi).
- the piston member should be relatively easy to manufacture by having a configuration substantially devoid of complex shapes to allow the manufacturing thereof.
- the upper portion of the piston member should preferably be as smooth and symmetrical as possible to avoid stress risers and/or differential thermal distortion thereof.
- the compressive height "CH" of the piston member should preferably be as small as structurally practical for maximizing compactness.
- the present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems as set forth above.
- US-A-4180027 discloses an articulated piston assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.
- such a piston assembly comprises the features of the characterising part of claim 1.
- the skirt may have a generally or slightly elliptical shape.
- the piston member may be used in a high combustion chamber pressure engine having a combustion chamber pressure in excess of 13,790 kPa (2000 psi).
- the present invention provides structural members which represent a simple, inexpensive, and lightweight solution to resist the increasing combustion pressures and combustion temperatures of todays and future engines.
- an internal combustion engine 10 of the multi-cylinder type includes a bottom block 12, a top block or spacer portion 14, and a cylinder head 16 rigidly secured together in the usual way by a plurality of fasteners or bolts 18 which pass through the head and block and are screwthreadably received in the bottom block.
- a mid-supported cylinder liner 48 has an upper portion 52 positioned in the top block portion 14 and is provided with coolant flow therearound.
- the engine 10 could be of any conventional design.
- the engine 10 further includes a cooling oil directing nozzle 74 as is shown in the lower right portion of Fig. 1.
- This nozzle is rigidly secured to the bottom block 12 and is operationally associated with a conventional source of pressurized oil, not shown, to supply oil or the like to an articulated piston assembly 76.
- the piston assembly 76 of the engine 10 includes an upper steel piston member 78 and a lower aluminum piston skirt 80 which are rockably mounted on a common wrist pin or gudgeon pin 82 having a longitudinally oriented central axis 84.
- the wrist pin is also of steel material and has an external cylindrical surface 86, and a cylindrical bore 88 therethrough for weight reduction purposes.
- a conventional connecting rod 90 of a tepee configuration has an upper eye end 92, and a steel-backed bronze sleeve bearing 94 therein is operationally connected to, and driven by, the wrist pin.
- the steel piston member 78 has an upper portion 96 of substantially cylindrical shape and a preselected maximum diameter "D" as is illustrated in Fig. 2.
- the upper portion 96 has a peripheral top surface 98 that is flat, or is located on a plane perpendicular to the central axis 66, and a crown surface 100 that in the instant example is a fully machined surface of revolution about the central axis 66.
- the crown surface has a centrally located apex portion 102 elevationally disposed below the top surface, a peripheral or radially outer land portion 104 that is substantially cylindrical and an annular trough 106 that smoothly blends with the apex and outer land portions.
- the combination of the apex portion 102, the annular trough 106 and the outer land portion 104 greatly improves combustion efficiency.
- the piston member 78 further includes a tubular wall 108 that depends from the outer edge of the top surface 98 and defines in serially depending order fully around the periphery thereof a top land 110, a top ring groove 112 having a keystone or wedge-like shape in cross section, an upper intermediate land 114, an intermediate ring groove 116 of rectangular cross section, a lower intermediate land 118, a bottom ring groove 120 of rectangular cross section, and a bottom land 122 that is terminated by a lower end surface 124.
- An annular radially inwardly facing wall surface 126 is also delineated by the wall 108 and extends upwardly from the end surface 124.
- the upper portion 96 is additionally defined by an annular radially outwardly facing wall surface 128 and a downwardly facing transition portion 130 that is blendingly associated with the wall surfaces 126 and 128 to collectively define an annular cooling recess 132 of a precisely defined cross sectional shape.
- the wall surface 128 is defined by an upper fully conical portion 134 having an inclination angle "A" with respect to the central axis 66 of approximately 12 degrees as is shown in Fig. 3, and a fully cylindrical portion 136 below it.
- the wall surface 126 is fully conical and has an inclination angle "B" of approximately 1.7 degrees.
- annular cooling recess 132 could be of any configuration to be forged such as the shallow recess shown in Fig. 6 or as an alternative the deep recess as shown in Fig. 7. As further shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the grain flow obtained with a forging are shown by use of phantom lines.
- the steel piston member 78 further includes a lower portion 158 including a pair of depending pin bosses 160 blendingly associated with the outwardly facing wall surface 128 of the upper portion 96, and blendingly associated also with a downwardly facing concave pocket 162 defined by the upper portion.
- the concave pocket is spaced substantially uniformly away from the apex portion 102 of the crown surface 100 so as to define a crown 164 of generally uniform thickness "C" of about 4 or 5mm as is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
- these figures also illustrate and define a relatively thin and substantially conically oriented web 166 of a minimum thickness "W" of about 4 to 7mm between the trough 106 and juxtaposed land portion 104 of the crown surface 100, and the outwardly facing wall surface 128.
- Each of the pin bosses 160 has a bore 168 therethrough which are adapted to individually receive a steel-backed bronze bearing sleeve 170 therein. These bearing sleeves are axially aligned to receive the wrist pin 82 pivotally therein.
- the piston skirt 80 has a top peripheral surface 172 in close non-contacting relationship with the lower end surface 124 of the upper portion 96 of the piston member 78 with a fully annular, upwardly facing oil trough 174 defined therein. It further has a slightly elliptical external surface 176 therearound which depends from the top surface.
- the skirt 80 further has a maximum diameter 177 and a minimum diameter 177a.
- a pair of aligned wrist pin receiving bores 178 are formed through the piston skirt and are axially aligned with the minimum diameter 177a, and each of the bores has a snap ring receiving groove 180 therein.
- the piston skirt is thus pivotally mounted on the wrist pin 82 which is slidably insertably positioned in both bores. Excessive movement of the wrist pin is prevented along the axis 84 by a pair of split retaining rings 182 individually disposed in the grooves 180.
- a pair of axially oriented bosses 184 are defined within the skirt 80 so that a corresponding pair of lubrication passages 186 can be provided fully axially therethrough.
- the lubrication passages are positioned diagonally opposite each other so that the skirt can be mounted on the wrist pin 82 in either of the two possible positions, and so at least one of them will be axially aligned with the oil jet nozzle 74.
- the skirt is also provided with diagonally opposite, semi-cylindrical recesses 188 which open downwardly at the bottom of the skirt to provide clearance from the nozzle when the skirt is reciprocated to its lowest elevational position.
- the steel piston member 78 in this application is used with an articulated piston assembly 76.
- the articulated piston assembly is used in a high combustion chamber pressure engine 10 having a combustion chamber pressure of 15,170 kPa (2200 psi).
- the articulated piston assembly 76 allows the power output to be increased and reduces the engine package size.
- the articulated piston assembly 76 is used with an engine 10 having a mid-supported cylinder liner 48 and a two piece cylinder block 12,14 construction. Liquid cooling is positioned in only the top block 14 of the two piece block and provides excellent cooling or heat dissipation for the piston assembly.
- the articulated piston assembly 76 reciprocates downwardly to bottom dead center whereupon the nozzle 74 directs lubricating oil into the skirt passage 186 aligned therewith.
- the oil jet continues upwardly whereupon it makes contact with the surfaces of the cooling recess 132 of the piston member 78 and is splashed peripherally in opposite directions. A significant portion of the oil is caught by the skirt trough 174 as the piston assembly is reciprocated and further more evenly distributed around the interior of the piston member.
- the top of the cooling recess 132 is elevationally disposed directly underneath the peripheral top surface 98 of the piston member, and within an elevational distance therefrom identified by the letter "E" of about 5mm. It has been concluded that the ratio of the distance “E” to the piston diameter “D” should be below about 0.10, and preferably should be between about 0.04 and 0.06. In one embodiment the diameter "D” was 124mm, and the distance "E” was 5.5mm which provides a ratio thereof of approximately 0.044.
- the elevational distance "CH” between the top surface 98 and the wrist pin axis 84 was 70mm. Therefore, the ratio of "CH” to “D” was about 0.56. It was subsequently concluded that the ratio of "CH” to “D” should be below about 0.60, and preferably should be between about 0.60 and 0.45.
- the articulated piston assembly 76 is preferably manufactured in a particular way and by using certain materials.
- the upper steel piston member 78 is preferably forged from an alloy steel which is basically 4140 modified steel.
- the lower aluminum piston skirt 80 is likewise preferably forged from a modified aluminum which is basically SAE 321-T6 modified aluminum.
- the aforementioned alloy steel is particularly adaptable to a Class II forging, and can provide an austenitic grain size 5 or finer which is highly desirable to resist the high combustion pressures associated with the high combustion chamber pressure engine.
- the grain flow primarily in the web 166, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, and grain size allows the forces to be resisted or transmitted and provides the high strength, factor of safety and long life which is required in todays high combustion chamber pressure engines.
- the aforementioned forged aluminum alloy has a high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion.
