Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine with a piston crown, with a land, with a circumferential ring portion, which has annular grooves, and with a piston skirt, which has two arranged on the pressure side and the counter-pressure side shaft walls and two walls connecting the skirt walls together, wherein the box walls are provided with pin bores having pin bosses, and wherein the arranged on the pressure side of the skirt wall viewed in the circumferential direction of the piston is shorter than the arranged on the counter-pressure side skirt wall.
  • a piston of the type mentioned causes the inclination of a connecting rod under ignition pressure a side force load, which is delivered via the box walls and the shaft to the cylinder wall.
  • the ignition pressure in combination with a Ausachstechnik or eccentricity of the hub bores leads to a tilting moment, which increases the lateral force load.
  • Both mechanisms cause a high stress of the piston in the lower region near the free, kolbenteilabgewandten edge of the shaft-box wall connection.
  • the highest stress is found at or shortly after the ignition pressure maximum on the pressure side of the piston.
  • the shaft-box wall connection on the counter-pressure side of the piston is in this case loaded comparatively low.
  • crank mechanisms which are confined to the pressure side, on the other hand increases the stress of the counter-pressure side shaft-box wall connection.
  • a piston is in the document GB 130 411 A shown. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the stress on the highly stressed, piston bottom facing away region of the pressure and counterpressure side shaft-box wall connection.
  • the pressure-side box walls are rectilinear and oblique, wherein the distance between the box walls in the region of the pin bosses is greater than in the region of the pressure-side skirt wall. Furthermore, the thickness of the box walls decreases starting from their piston bottom facing away, free edges in the direction of the piston head.
  • the thickness of the pressure-side box walls starting from the pin boss in the direction of shaft wall increase linearly, resulting in a further reduction of the stress of the highly stressed, piston bottom facing away region of the pressure and counter pressure side shaft-box wall connection.
  • the wall thicknesses In order to stress the structure homogeneously in the lower area of the shaft-box wall connection, the wall thicknesses must be designed according to the load. This ensures at the same time that unnecessary rigidity disappears and weight can be saved on the strength side.
  • the box wall thickness increases continuously, while the shaft wall thickness, starting from the end remote from the piston bottom, decreases in the direction of the piston crown. Furthermore, the increase in thickness of the box wall is realized in that the inner contour of the box wall is made obliquely than its outer contour. As a positive side effect from this one obtains a slight increase in the box wall inclination.
  • the above-described shaft-box wall connection according to the invention is usually carried out on the pressure side. If the counter-pressure side should be loaded higher than the pressure side due to a restricted crank drive, the design principle is applied on the counterpressure side. The lower loaded side of the shaft-box wall connection is then carried out as that described in the German patent application 10 2007 020 447.9 is called back pressure side.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the piston 10 according to the invention, which is particularly suitable for use in high-pressure gasoline engines.
  • the piston 10 has a piston bottom 11 and a peripheral land 12 and a circumferential ring portion 13 with annular grooves 14.
  • the piston 10 On the side facing away from the piston crown, the piston 10 has a piston shaft 15, which consists of a shaft wall 16 on the pressure side (DS) and a shaft wall 17 on the counter-pressure side (GDS), wherein the shaft walls 16 and 17 are connected via box walls 18 and 19 with each other.
  • the box walls 18, 19 each have a pin boss 21, each with a hub bore 20.
  • the skirt wall 16 on the pressure side (DS) viewed in the circumferential direction is shorter than the skirt wall 17 on the counter-pressure side (GDS).
  • the shaft walls 16,17 are formed asymmetrically.
  • the thickness "d" of the pressure-side box walls 18, starting from the pin boss 21 toward the skirt wall 16, increases linearly as viewed Figure 2 is apparent.
  • the thickness "b" of the box walls 18, 19, starting from their piston bottom facing away, free edges in the direction of the piston head 11 from, as is apparent from illustration 1 results.
