A predetermined amount B 2 is offset (offset) below the surface b. As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting rod has a width in the direction of the combination surfaces 11a and 11b formed as described above that is larger than the width in the direction of the vertical line 23, that is, the connecting rod is narrower in the vertical direction. An arc-shaped upper metal 8a and lower metal 8b, which are wide in the horizontal direction, are pressed against each other at the combination surfaces 11a and 11b and are assembled to the large end 1 and the cap 7, respectively.

As a result, as described above, the metals 8a and 8b are wide in the direction of the combination surfaces 11a and 11b.

インNが生起する。During operation of the internal combustion engine incorporating the connecting rod having such a configuration, the inertia force F 1 (see FIG. 5) of the moving part of the connecting rod, piston, piston pin, etc. causes the large end bearing 4 to As shown in FIG. 2, a periodic reaction force from the crankpin 2 in the direction of the cap 7, that is, a bearing load F acts on the lower metal 8 b. Due to the load F, elastic deformation, that is, close-in N, occurs as if the large end bearing 4 is pulled up and down.

As shown in (A), the clearance in the horizontal direction, that is, the clearance C in the direction above or parallel to the combination surfaces 11a and 11b increases as the position approaches the combination surfaces 11a and 11b of the upper and lower metals 8a and 8b. Therefore, even if the bearing load F acts in the direction of the cap 7 having a relatively low rigidity, the upper metal 8a or the lower metal 8b does not come into contact with the crankpin 2, and the closed portion is formed by the elastic deformation of the bearing portion. Figure 2 shows the degree of in-N.
(B) can be smaller than the prior art,
A sufficient oil film thickness can be secured below the combination surfaces 11a and 11b.

能力が上昇する。As described above, the degree of the close-in N of the present invention is reduced, and the portion of the large end bearing 4 where the oil film thickness is reduced is the bottom of the fitting peripheral surface 7a of the relatively soft rigid cap 7. As a result, the offset horizontal oil film pressure component decreases, and the upward oil film pressure component that applies the bearing load F increases, thereby increasing the load capacity of the bearing.

Since the rigidity on the side of the cap 7 receiving F is small, the amount of deformation in the radial direction reaches two to three times the bearing clearance, and the bearing surface is deformed so as to fit the crankpin 2, the actual oil film pressure increases. Almost no.

ができる。As described above, according to the present invention, a large gap between the upper and lower members and the crankpin near the combined surface of the upper and lower members can be formed, so that the bearing load can be reduced. By the action, there is no contact between the inner circumference of the side part of the lower member or the upper member and the outer circumference of the crankpin, and the elastic deformation of the bearing part causes
This makes it possible to reduce the degree of close-in that sandwiches the crankpin. Therefore, by suppressing such close-in, it is possible to obtain a connecting rod having a bearing portion in which the load capacity of the bearing is increased and seizure resistance is improved.
