KUHLKANALKOLBEN FÜR EINE BRΞNNKRAFTMASCHINE UND VERFAHREN ZU SEINER HERSTELLUNGCOOLING CHANNEL PISTON FOR A BROTHER AND A METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines einteiligen Kolbens aus Stahl für eine Brennkraftmaschine. Der eine kleine Kompressionshöhe aufweisende Kolben schließt einen zu einem Ringfeld benachbarten Kühlkanal ein. In einem Verfahrensschritt wird mittels eines Schmiede- oder Gießverfahrens ein Kolbenrohling hergestellt, bevor zur Bildung eines Kühlkanals ein Wändungsabschnitt des Kühlkanals umgeformt wird.The invention relates to a method for producing a one-piece piston made of steel for an internal combustion engine. The small compression height piston includes a cooling channel adjacent to a ring field. In a method step, a piston blank is produced by means of a forging or casting method, before a wall section of the cooling channel is formed to form a cooling channel.
Die EP 1 452 250 A2 bezieht sich auf Schmiedeverfahren zur Herstellung eines einteiligen Kolbens aus Stahl. Zur Bildung eines Kühlkanals wird mit diesem Verfahren im Bereich eines Feuerstegs ein umlaufender, nach außen stehender Bund geformt, der einer ebenfalls umlaufenden Ausnehmung zugeordnet ist. In einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt wird zur Bildung eines geschlossenen Kühlkanals der Bund durch eine Einbiegung umgeformt.EP 1 452 250 A2 relates to forging processes for producing a one-piece piston made of steel. To form a cooling channel, a circumferential, outwardly projecting collar is formed by this method in the region of a land land, which is assigned to a likewise circumferential recess. In a further step, the collar is formed by a bend to form a closed cooling channel.
Aus der DE 37 13 191 C1 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines geschmiedeten Kopfes eines Kolbens bekannt, bei dem ein Verfahrensschritt das Umformen oder Umbiegen des Ringabschnitts in eine endgültige Lage einschließt. Dieser Kolben umfasst einen außenseitig angeordneten Kühlkanal mit einem relativ kleinen Querschnitt, der nur lokal und damit keine ausreichende großflächige Kühlwirkung des Kolbens sicherstellt.From DE 37 13 191 C1 a method for producing a forged head of a piston is known in which a method step includes forming or bending the ring portion in a final position. This piston comprises a cooling channel arranged on the outside with a relatively small cross section, which ensures only locally and thus no sufficient large-scale cooling effect of the piston.
Weiterhin sind Stahlkolben für Nutzfahrzeuge bekannt, bei denen der Kühlkanal mit einem Abdeckblech verschlossen wird. Diese Maßnahme ist nur bei offenen und gut zugänglichen Kühlkanälen möglich und erfordert zudem einen hohen Aufwand an mechanischer Zerspanarbeit. Weiterhin schränkt das Ausdrehen des Kühlkanals an dem fertigen Bauteil die konstruktiven Freiheiten ein. PKW-Stahlkolben werden
versuchsweise mit einem verlorenen Kern, insbesondere einem Keramikkern gießtechnisch hergestellt. Dieses prozessbedingt aufwändige und kostenintensive Verfahren erfordert nachteilig komplexe Werkzeuge zur Herstellung der Rohlinge.Furthermore, steel pistons for commercial vehicles are known in which the cooling channel is closed by a cover plate. This measure is only possible with open and easily accessible cooling channels and also requires a high cost of mechanical machining. Furthermore, the turning of the cooling channel on the finished component limits the design freedom. Be car steel piston experimentally produced by casting with a lost core, in particular a ceramic core. This process-consuming and costly process disadvantageously requires complex tools for the production of blanks.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ausgehend von dem bekannten Stand der Technik, einen hochbelastbaren gewichts- und kostenoptimierten Kühlkanalkolben zu realisieren, der einen vergrößerten Kühlkanal einschließt.The present invention is based on the object, starting from the known prior art, to realize a heavy-duty weight and cost-optimized cooling channel piston, which includes an enlarged cooling channel.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of independent claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß schließt der Kolben zwischen einem Ringfeld und einer Brennraummulde einen Kühlkanal ein, der durch Umformen oder Einbiegen eines Kolbenbodenbereichs geschlossen wird. Die Anordnung des mittels einer Einschmiedung, einer mechanischen Bearbeitung, hergestellten Kühlkanals, der axial zu dem Ringfeld und der Brennraummulde beabstandet ist, bewirkt eine wirksame Kühlmittelbeaufschlagung, verbunden mit einer optimalen Kühlwirkung der Kolbenbereiche größter thermischer Belastung wie Kolben-Ringfeld, Brennraummulde sowie zumindest einer Randzone des Feuerstegs. Zur Realisierung eines vorteilhaft vergrößerten Kühlkanalvolumens ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Kühlkanalgestaltung dünne, den Wärmeübergang verbessernde Wandstärken, wodurch ein Kolben mit einer optimalen Kühlwirkung darstellbar ist. Die Lage sowie die Gestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Kühlkanals bewirken eine gewünschte verringerte Kompressionshöhe, wodurch sich gleichzeitig eine gewünschte reduzierte Kolbenmasse einstellt. Weiterhin schließt die Erfindung in einem Schaftfensterbereich des Kolbens zumindest eine Aussparung und/oder einen Durchbruch ein, um eine weitere Gewichtsreduzierung des Kolbens zu erreichen.According to the invention, the piston between a ring field and a combustion bowl a cooling channel, which is closed by forming or bending a piston crown region. The arrangement of the cooling channel made by means of forging, machining, axially spaced from the ring field and the combustion bowl causes effective coolant loading associated with optimum cooling action of the piston areas of greatest thermal stress such as piston ring field, combustion bowl and at least one edge zone the firestop. In order to realize an advantageously enlarged cooling channel volume, the cooling channel design according to the invention enables thin wall thicknesses which improve the heat transfer, as a result of which a piston with an optimum cooling effect can be represented. The location and the design of the cooling channel according to the invention cause a desired reduced compression height, which simultaneously sets a desired reduced piston mass. Furthermore, the invention includes in a shaft window region of the piston at least one recess and / or an opening in order to achieve a further reduction in the weight of the piston.
Der leichtgewichtige Kolbenrohling aus Stahl wird gemäß der Erfindung in einem Arbeitsgang durch ein Schmiedeverfahren hergestellt. Durch ein anschließendes Umformen oder Einbiegen eines Kolbenbodenbereichs wird der Kühlkanal geschlossen, bevor eine sich einstellende Fuge mittels einer Schweißnaht abgedichtet wird. Dazu bedarf es weder Kerneinlagen, eines Reibschweißverfahrens
noch des Einlegens oder Anbringens von Blechteilen. Die erfindungsgemäße Herstellung, die vorteilhaft auch auf ein Gießverfahren übertragbar ist, beinhaltet aufgrund der reduzierten Prozesse ein großes Einsparpotential. Das erfindungsgemäße Konzept vereinfacht bzw. optimiert die Herstellung von einteiligen Stahlkolben, die bevorzugt für schnellaufende, hochbelastbare Dieselbrennkraftmaschinen bestimmt sind, die ein Leistungsniveau von > 80 KW / L erreichen, wobei sich Zünddrücke von > 200 bar einstellen.The lightweight piston blank made of steel is produced according to the invention in one operation by a forging process. By subsequent forming or bending of a piston crown region of the cooling channel is closed, before a self-adjusting joint is sealed by means of a weld. This requires neither core inserts, a friction welding process still inserting or attaching sheet metal parts. The production according to the invention, which can advantageously also be applied to a casting process, involves a large potential for savings due to the reduced processes. The inventive concept simplifies or optimizes the production of one-piece steel pistons, which are preferably intended for high-speed, high-power diesel internal combustion engines, which reach a power level of> 80 KW / L, with ignition pressures of> 200 bar set.
Weitere vorteilhafte konstruktive Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der unabhängigen, nachfolgend erläuterten Ansprüche.Further advantageous structural embodiments of the invention are the subject of the independent claims explained below.
Eine bevorzugte Gestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Kolbens sieht vor, eine innere, der Brennraummulde zugeordnete Wandung des Kühlkanals zu verlängern. Der einen Ringabschnitt bildende, verlängerte Wandungsabschnitt ist nach dem Umformen bzw. dem Einbiegen mit einem freien Ende einer Stufe der äußeren Wandung des Kolbens zugeordnet. Vorteilhaft ist dazu der Ringabschnitt formschlüssig an der Außenwandung abgestützt. Dazu bietet es sich an, die äußere Wandung des Kolbens mit einem gestuften Abschnitt zu versehen, an dem der Ringabschnitt lagepositioniert ist.A preferred embodiment of the piston according to the invention provides to extend an inner, the combustion chamber trough associated wall of the cooling channel. The forming a ring portion, extended wall portion is assigned after forming or bending with a free end of a step of the outer wall of the piston. Advantageously, the ring portion is positively supported on the outer wall. For this purpose, it is advisable to provide the outer wall of the piston with a stepped portion on which the ring portion is positioned position.
Im Bereich des Schaftfensterbereichs schließt der Kolben erfindungsgemäß eine Anordnung von Aussparungen oder Durchbrüchen ein, als weitere Maßnahme zur Reduzierung der Kolbenmasse. Bevorzugt sind dazu versetzt zu einer Bolzennabe symmetrisch umfangsverteilte Bohrungen in den Schaftfensterbereich eingebracht, über die, ohne die Festigkeit des Kolbens zu gefährden, eine wirksame Gewichtsreduzierung erzielbar ist.In the region of the shaft window region, the piston according to the invention includes an arrangement of recesses or openings, as a further measure for reducing the piston mass. Preferably offset to a pin boss symmetrically circumferentially distributed holes are introduced into the shaft window area over which, without compromising the strength of the piston, an effective weight reduction can be achieved.
Der sich zumindest über eine Länge des Ringfeldes erstreckende Kühlkanal bildet bevorzugt ein weitestgehend rechteckförmiges Querschnittsprofil. Diese Gestaltung vergrößert vorteilhaft das Durchströmvolumen und damit die Kühlmittelaufnahme, wodurch die Kühlwirkung des Kolbens deutlich gesteigert werden kann. Außerdem verringert der großvolumig gestaltete Kühlkanal das Kolbengewicht. Gleichzeitig vergrößert diese Formgebung des Kühlkanals einen Freiheitsgrad zur Platzierung
von Öffnungen zum Eintritt und Austritt des Kühlmittels in den Kühlkanal unter dem Gesichtspunkt einer optimalen Beaufschlagung.The cooling channel extending at least over a length of the annular field preferably forms a largely rectangular cross-sectional profile. This design advantageously increases the flow volume and thus the coolant intake, whereby the cooling effect of the piston can be significantly increased. In addition, the large-volume cooling channel reduces the weight of the piston. At the same time, this shape of the cooling channel increases one degree of freedom for placement from openings for entry and exit of the coolant in the cooling channel from the point of optimum application.
Ein weiteres Ausgestaltungsmerkmal der Erfindung sieht vor, die Wandungen des Kühlkanals mit nahezu gleicher Wandstärke auszulegen. Bedingt durch abgestimmte, weitestgehend übereinstimmende Wandstärken des Kühlkanals, kann ein strukturfester, höchsten Anforderungen standhaltender Kolben realisiert werden.Another embodiment feature of the invention provides to design the walls of the cooling channel with almost the same wall thickness. Due to tuned, largely matching wall thicknesses of the cooling channel, a structurally stable, highest requirements can be achieved by maintaining the piston.
Die Auslegung sowie das Herstellungsverfahren des erfindungsgemäßen Kolbens ermöglicht eine bevorzugte kleine Kompressionshöhe, die unmittelbar die Kolbenmasse beeinflußt. Vorteilhaft kann mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Kolben die Kompressionshöhe (S) von < 0,7 x Kolbendurchmesser (D) realisiert werden.The design as well as the manufacturing method of the piston according to the invention allows a preferred small compression height, which directly affects the piston mass. Advantageously, the compression height (S) of <0.7 x piston diameter (D) can be realized with the piston according to the invention.
