Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of reciprocating engine components, in particular to a piston crown, a piston skirt and a combined piston. BACKGROUND
[0002] The combined piston is connected by the piston crown and the piston skirt through bolt assembly. In the working process, the piston crown and the piston skirt connection surface is under the action of alternating load, and the piston crown and the piston skirt surface exists relative sliding, that is, fretting. In the explosion pressure condition, the contact pressure of the piston crown and the piston skirt contact surface is high, and in the inertia force condition, the contact pressure of the piston crown and the piston skirt contact surface is low, and the contact surface exists partial separation. Due to the fretting effect of the piston crown and the skirt contact surface, the contact surface is worn, and the wear particles participate in the subsequent contact and wear in the closed surface, resulting in the roughening of the contact surface, and with the passage of time, the piston crown and the skirt contact surface is seriously worn and even the fatigue cracking damage mode is induced, that is, fretting wear and fretting fatigue.
[0003] In order to reduce the wear of the piston crown and the piston skirt contact surface, a wear-resistant coating can be arranged between the piston crown and the skirt contact surface, and the coating material can be chromium, tungsten carbide and the like. The coating is coated on the piston crown or the piston skirt contact surface through surface process, for example, the scheme disclosed in the utility model patent with publication number CN202039963U. Since the coating material is harder and less ductile than the base material, in the local area with high stress under the micro-motion contact, the base material will be plastically deformed, causing cracks in the surface coating. In addition, the coating material and the surface process cost are relatively high.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a scheme capable of reducing the wear of the combined piston contact surface and the risk of fretting cracking. SUMMARY

[0034] Figure 1 A cross-sectional structure schematic diagram of the combined piston 10 provided in the present embodiment is shown in the figure, Figure 2 A top view structure schematic diagram of the piston skirt 200 provided in the present embodiment is shown in the figure. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a combined piston 10 formed by fixedly connecting a piston crown 100 and a piston skirt 200, and achieves lubrication between the contact surface of the piston crown 100 and the piston skirt 200 by setting a contact surface lubrication structure in the combined piston 10 to reduce the fretting wear, accordingly, the present embodiment also provides a piston crown 100 and a piston skirt 200, and the contact surface lubrication structure is set in the piston crown 100 and the piston skirt 200, in other words, the piston crown 100 provided in the present embodiment is a fretting wear resistant piston crown, the piston skirt 200 is a fretting wear resistant piston skirt, and the combined piston 10 is a fretting wear resistant combined piston. It can be understood that the present embodiment does not limit the structure of the combined piston 10, it can be understood that the combined piston 10 provided in the present application can be obtained by connecting the piston crown 100 provided in the present application with a piston skirt of other structure, or can be obtained by connecting the piston skirt 200 provided in the present application with a piston crown of other structure.
[0035] In this embodiment, the piston top 100 and the piston skirt 200 are fixedly connected by connecting bolts, and the piston top 100 and the piston skirt 200 are substantially coaxially arranged. The axes of the piston top 100, the piston skirt 200, and the combined piston 10 are substantially coincident. Therefore, in the description of this embodiment, "axis of piston top 100", "axis of piston skirt 200", and "axis of combined piston 10" can be regarded as referring to the same axis. The combined piston 10 has an inner cooling cavity 11 and an outer cooling cavity 12. The inner cooling cavity 11 is located at the axis of the combined piston 10, and the outer cooling cavity 12 is an annular chamber arranged around the inner cooling cavity 11. The top skirt contact surface between the piston top 100 and the piston skirt 200 is located between the inner cooling cavity 11 and the outer cooling cavity 12.
[0036] Specifically, the top skirt contact surface includes a surface located on the lower side of the piston top 100 (e.g., Figure 1 The first contact surface 113 (as shown in the view) and the first contact surface 113 located on the upper side of the piston skirt 200 (as shown in the view) Figure 1 The second contact surface 213 (as shown in the viewpoint) is slightly inclined relative to the cross-section of the combined piston 10, for example, the inclination angle is less than 3°. The "cross-section of the combined piston 10" is the plane perpendicular to the axis of the combined piston 10.
[0037] Both the first contact surface 113 and the second contact surface 213 are annular. The piston top 100 has a first inner cavity 111 located inside the first contact surface 113 and a first outer cavity 112 located outside the first contact surface 113, the first outer cavity 112 being annular. The piston skirt 200 has a second inner cavity 211 located inside the second contact surface 213 and a second outer cavity 212 located outside the second contact surface 213, the second outer cavity 212 being annular. The first inner cavity 111 and the second inner cavity 211 form the inner cooling cavity 11 of the combined piston 10, and the first outer cavity 112 and the second outer cavity 212 form the outer cooling cavity 12 of the combined piston 10. The piston skirt 200 is provided with an oil inlet hole 219 communicating with the second outer cavity 212, thereby filling the outer cooling cavity 12 with lubricating oil through the oil inlet hole 219.
[0038] The contact surface lubrication structure includes a first vertical oil hole 115 and a connecting hole 114 disposed on the piston top 100. The two ends of the connecting hole 114 are connected to the first inner cavity 111 and the first outer cavity 112, respectively, allowing lubricating oil to flow between the outer cooling cavity 12 and the inner cooling cavity 11 through the connecting hole 114. Specifically, the connecting hole 114 is located above the first contact surface 113, and its height gradually decreases along the direction from the first outer cavity 112 to the first inner cavity 111, meaning the connecting hole 114 extends obliquely. During the up-and-down movement of the combined piston 10, the lubricating oil in the outer cooling cavity 12 oscillates up and down, thereby flowing into the inner cooling cavity 11 through the connecting hole 114.
[0039] One end of the first vertical oil hole 115 is connected to the connecting hole 114, and the other end extends downward to the first contact surface 113, so that the lubricating oil in the connecting hole 114 can flow along the first vertical oil hole 115 to the first contact surface 113, thereby lubricating and cooling the top skirt contact surface and forming a lubricating oil film. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first vertical oil hole 115 extends vertically downward, that is, the extension direction of the first vertical oil hole 115 is approximately parallel to the axis of the combined piston 10.
[0040] Furthermore, a first oil distribution groove 116 is also provided on the first contact surface 113. The first vertical oil hole 115 extends downward and communicates with the first oil distribution groove 116. The cross-sectional area of the first oil distribution groove 116 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the first vertical oil hole 115. Specifically, the first oil distribution groove 116 is a cone shape with its radial dimension gradually increasing in the vertically downward direction. In other words, the first oil distribution groove 116 can also be regarded as the lower end of the first vertical oil hole 115 gradually expanding. It is understood that in other embodiments, the structure of the first oil distribution groove 116 can also be set according to needs. For example, the first oil distribution groove 116 can be set as a square groove, or as a connecting groove extending circumferentially along the first contact surface 113, thereby guiding the lubricating oil to flow circumferentially along the first contact surface 113.
[0041] In this embodiment, a threaded hole (not shown) for screwing with a connecting bolt is provided on the first contact surface 113. The first vertical oil holes 115 and the threaded hole are staggered in the circumferential direction of the piston top 100. Furthermore, there are multiple first vertical oil holes 115, and the openings of these multiple first vertical oil holes 115 at the first contact surface 113 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the piston top 100, thereby synchronously supplying oil to the top skirt contact surface through the multiple first vertical oil holes 115. Figure 1 The arrows in the piston top 100 indicate the flow of lubricating oil in the first vertical oil hole 115 and the connecting hole 114, ensuring lubrication. Accordingly, there are multiple connecting holes 114 on the piston top 100, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the piston top 100, and each first vertical oil hole 115 is connected to a connecting hole 114.
[0042] In this embodiment, the contact surface lubrication structure further includes a transverse oil hole 214 and a second vertical oil hole 215 disposed on the piston skirt 200. The two ends of the transverse oil hole 214 are respectively connected to the second inner cavity 211 and the second outer cavity 212, one end of the second vertical oil hole 215 is connected to the transverse oil hole 214, and the other end of the second vertical oil hole 215 extends upward to the second contact surface 213.
[0043] When there is a large amount of lubricating oil in the outer cooling chamber 12 of the combined piston 10 (for example, the lubricating oil level in the outer cooling chamber 12 is higher than the second contact surface 213), some of the lubricating oil in the outer cooling chamber 12 flows into the inner cooling chamber 11 through the transverse oil hole 214, while some of the lubricating oil in the transverse oil hole 214 enters the second contact surface 213 upwards through the second vertical oil hole 215. Figure 3 As indicated by the middle arrow, this also serves to lubricate the top skirt contact surface, reducing fretting wear. When the lubricating oil in the outer cooling chamber 12 of the combined piston 10 is low (for example, the lubricating oil level in the outer cooling chamber 12 is lower than the second contact surface 213, or even lower than the height of the transverse oil hole 214), the lubricating oil in the top skirt contact surface can flow through the second vertical oil hole 215 to the transverse oil hole 214, and eventually flow back to the inner cooling chamber 11 or the outer cooling chamber 12 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The arrows in the piston skirt 200 indicate the flow of lubricating oil in the second vertical oil hole 215 and the lateral oil hole 214 at this time. At the same time, the particles in the top skirt contact surface are discharged with the lubricating oil into the inner cooling chamber 11 or the outer cooling chamber 12, thereby realizing the discharge of particles and avoiding the problem of increased wear of the top skirt contact surface caused by the accumulation of particles in the top skirt contact surface.
[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the extension direction of the transverse oil hole 214 is parallel to the cross-section of the combined piston 10; in other words, in such a case... Figure 1 From the perspective shown, the height of the axis of the transverse oil hole 214 is approximately the same at all points. The second vertical oil hole 215 extends vertically, that is, the extension direction of the second vertical oil hole 215 is approximately parallel to the axis of the combined piston 10.
[0045] Furthermore, a second oil distribution groove 216 is also provided on the second contact surface 213. The second vertical oil hole 215 extends upward and communicates with the second oil distribution groove 216. The cross-sectional area of the second oil distribution groove 216 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the second vertical oil hole 215. Specifically, the second oil distribution groove 216 is a cone shape with its radial dimension gradually increasing in the vertical upward direction. In other words, the second oil distribution groove 216 can also be regarded as the lower end of the second vertical oil hole 215 gradually expanding. It is understood that in other embodiments, the structure of the second oil distribution groove 216 can also be set according to needs. For example, the second oil distribution groove 216 can be set as a square groove, or as a connecting groove extending circumferentially along the second contact surface 213, thereby guiding the lubricating oil to flow circumferentially along the second contact surface 213.
[0046] In this embodiment, there are multiple second vertical oil holes 215, and the openings of the multiple second vertical oil holes 215 at the second contact surface 213 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the piston skirt 200. Similarly, there are multiple second oil distribution grooves 216, and the multiple second oil distribution grooves 216 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the piston skirt 200 on the second contact surface 213. Meanwhile, as...Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first vertical oil hole 115 and the second vertical oil hole 215 are arranged opposite each other. The number of the first vertical oil hole 115 and the second vertical oil hole 215 can be specifically set according to requirements. Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of first vertical oil holes 115 is greater than the number of second vertical oil holes 215. In other words, some of the first vertical oil holes 115 are not directly below the second vertical oil holes 215. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first vertical oil holes 115 and the second vertical oil holes 215 can also be arranged at a certain angle.
[0047] In this embodiment, the piston skirt 200 has a connecting hole 217 that penetrates the second contact surface 213. The connecting holes 217 are distributed one-to-one with the threaded holes. The connecting bolt passes through the connecting hole 217 and is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby fixing the piston top 100 to the piston skirt 200. A plurality of second vertical oil holes 215 are staggered with the connecting holes 217 in the circumferential direction of the piston skirt 200.
[0048] Furthermore, a pressure relief groove 218 is also provided on the second contact surface 213. The pressure relief groove 218 is located in the same circumferential position as the connecting hole 217, and extends radially along the piston skirt 200, connecting the second inner cavity 211 and the second outer cavity 212. In this way, the pressure relief groove 218 can reduce surface wear in the high-stress area, thereby reducing the risk of surface cracks caused by high stress. On the other hand, the particles generated by friction on the top skirt contact surface can be discharged from the pressure relief groove 218 with the lubricating oil to the inner cooling cavity 11 or the outer cooling cavity 12, thereby improving the particle discharge efficiency. It is understood that in other embodiments, the pressure relief groove 218 can also be provided on the first contact surface 113. Accordingly, in this case, the pressure relief groove 218 is located in the same circumferential position as the threaded hole, and extends radially along the piston top 100, connecting the first inner cavity 111 and the first outer cavity 112.
[0049] In this embodiment, a surface texture structure is provided on the second contact surface 213. The micro-channels formed by the surface texture structure allow lubricating oil to be stored on the second contact surface 213 and flow along its circumferential and radial directions, thereby forming a lubricating oil film across the entire top skirt contact surface. Simultaneously, friction-generated particles can be contained within the micro-structure formed by the surface texture structure, helping to reduce wear on the top skirt contact surface. Specifically, this surface texture structure can be selected from one or more of all surface processing textures based on GB / T 131. Optionally, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the surface texture structure set on the second contact surface 213 is a C-type texture.
[0050] Furthermore, the second contact surface 213 has a roughness Rz between 15 μm and 30 μm and Rsm between 350 μm and 500 μm, i.e., 15 μm ≤ Rz ≤ 30 μm and 350 μm ≤ Rsm ≤ 500 μm.
[0051] The combined piston 10 provided in the embodiments of the present invention, during operation, contains a certain amount of lubricating oil in the outer cooling chamber 12 and the inner cooling chamber 11. Under the alternating action of inertial force and combustion pressure, the first contact surface 113 and the second contact surface 123 separate and are squeezed. Under the inertial force condition, the contact pressure between the first contact surface 113 and the second contact surface 213 is low. At the same time, due to the profile provided on the piston skirt 200, the top skirt undergoes slight separation. The lubricating oil in the inner cooling chamber 11 and the outer cooling chamber 12 flows along the connecting hole 114. Part of the lubricating oil in the connecting hole 114 enters the top skirt contact surface through the first vertical oil hole 115 and the first oil distribution groove 116. Under the combustion condition, the first contact surface 113 is squeezed against the second contact surface 213. The lubricating oil that enters the top skirt contact surface diffuses and flows on the second contact surface 213 through the surface texture structure, thereby forming a lubricating oil film between the first contact surface 113 and the second contact surface 213, which plays a certain thrust bearing role.
[0052] Meanwhile, a portion of the lubricating oil flowing on the second contact surface 213 enters the second oil distribution groove 216 and is discharged through the second vertical oil hole 215 and the transverse oil hole 214. A portion of the lubricating oil flowing on the second contact surface 213 enters the pressure relief groove 218 and is discharged along the pressure relief groove 218, thereby reducing the wear between the first contact surface 113 and the second contact surface 213 and reducing the risk of fretting cracking.
[0053] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
