Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of piston connecting rod positioning, and more particularly, to an engine piston connecting rod positioning and installation structure. Background Art

[0002] The piston connecting rod group converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, and at the same time converts the force acting on the piston into the torque output by the crankshaft to drive the rotation of the vehicle wheels. It is a transmission part of the engine, which transmits the pressure of the combustion gas to the crankshaft, causing the crankshaft to rotate and output power. The piston connecting rod group mainly consists of a piston, piston rings, a piston pin, a connecting rod, connecting rod bearings, etc.

[0003] The connecting rod assembly in the piston connecting rod group includes a connecting rod body, a big end collar and a small end collar of the connecting rod. The big end collar and the small end collar of the connecting rod are respectively arranged at the bottom and top of the connecting rod body. When positioning the big end collar of the connecting rod, the axial clearance between the big end collar of the connecting rod and the crank is small, which will result in poor lubrication effect when the big end collar of the connecting rod rotates, and the hardness difference between the mating surfaces of the connecting rod and the crank is large, which will easily cause wear or burning of the big end collar of the connecting rod, and even damage other components such as the crankshaft, the connecting rod small end needle bearing and the connecting rod. The existing piston connecting rod positioning and installation structures often fail to position the clearance between the big end collar of the connecting rod and the crank well, so there are certain limitations.

[0018] In the above implementation process, when the piston pin passes through the small head collar, the outer ring of the piston pin will pass through the inner ring of the first rubber washer. Through the abutting action of the first rubber washer on the outer ring of the piston pin, the lateral position of the installed small head collar is not likely to change.

[0019] In a specific implementation, a second bearing is provided on the inner ring of the large head collar. The second bearing is located outside the crank pin, and the large head collar is rotatably connected to the crank pin through the second bearing.

[0020] In the above implementation process, the large head collar is rotatably connected to the crank pin through the second bearing, so as to effectively realize the rotational installation process between the large head collar and the crank pin.
