Description

Technical Field

[0001] At least one embodiment of the present invention relates to the technical field of internal combustion engine parts, and in particular to a piston ring for an engine with a circumferential positioning function and an engine system. Background Art

[0002] The piston ring is a key component of the internal combustion engine. It is an elastic metal ring located in the groove of the piston itself. First, it is used to seal the gas in the combustion chamber to prevent the gas from entering the crankcase through the wall gap; second, since part of the energy during combustion can be transferred to the piston boundary through the piston, its other function is to transfer the heat generated from the piston to the engine cooling system; third, the piston ring has the function of controlling the oil between the piston and the inner wall of the cylinder body, by scraping off the excess oil on the wall and limiting its leakage into the combustion chamber, reducing harmful gas emissions; in addition, the piston ring also has a supporting function.

[0003] Existing piston rings usually adopt a monolithic design mode. Monolithic piston rings are widely used in engines due to their advantages such as simple manufacturing process and convenient installation. However, the upper and lower surfaces of monolithic piston rings are prone to uneven heating and unbalanced thermal expansion, which causes the ring body to deform and then lead to sealing failure.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the prior art provides a combined piston ring with two overlapping ring bodies. The overlapping combination of the two ring bodies enhances the flexibility of the piston ring and makes it fit more closely to the inner wall of the cylinder body.

[0005] However, when the cylinder block is operating at high temperature and high pressure, relative movement occurs between the two ring bodies, causing the gaps formed on the two ring bodies to overlap in the axial direction, thereby causing the lubricating oil in the piston ring to flow to the outside of the piston ring through the overlapping gaps.

[0039] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] According to the inventive concept of one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a piston ring for an engine with a circumferential positioning function, comprising: a first ring body, installed between the piston and the inner wall of the cylinder body, the first ring body having a first notch in the circumferential direction, and two first convex portions extending in the axial direction are respectively formed on the upper and lower sides of the first ring body; and two second ring bodies, respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the first ring body, each second ring body having a second notch in the circumferential direction, and the two first convex portions respectively extend into the second notches of the two second ring bodies to limit the rotation of each second ring body relative to the first ring body.

[0041] Figure 1 It is a cross-sectional view of a piston ring with a circumferential positioning function for an engine in cooperation with a piston and a cylinder block according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the middle M part; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the N part; Figure 4 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a piston ring for an engine with a circumferential positioning function according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 5 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a piston ring for an engine with a circumferential positioning function, in which two first protrusions of a first ring body extend into second notches of two second ring bodies respectively according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , a piston ring for an engine with a circumferential positioning function is provided, comprising a first ring body 1 and two second ring bodies 2. The first ring body 1 is installed between the piston 3 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 4, and the first ring body 1 has a first notch 11 in the circumferential direction, and two first protrusions 12 extending in the axial direction are formed on the upper and lower sides of the first ring body 1. The two second ring bodies 2 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the first ring body 1, and each second ring body 2 has a second notch 21 in the circumferential direction. The two first protrusions 12 extend into the second notches 21 of the two second ring bodies 2 respectively to limit the rotation of each second ring body 2 relative to the first ring body 1, and prevent the two second notches 21 from being aligned with the first notch 11 in the axial direction, and the lubricating oil flows to the outside of the piston ring through the first notch 11 and the two second notches 21.

[0043] In this embodiment, two first protrusions 12 extending in the axial direction are respectively formed on the upper and lower sides of the first ring body 1, and each second ring body 2 has a second notch 21 in the circumferential direction. The two first protrusions 12 respectively extend into the second notches 21 of the two second ring bodies 2 to limit the rotation of each second ring body 2 relative to the first ring body 1 and prevent the two second notches 21 from being aligned with the first notch 11 in the axial direction.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 7-Figure 9 The two first protrusions 12 are symmetrically arranged about the radial extension line of the first ring body 1 where the first notch 11 is located.

[0047] With the above arrangement, when the two first protrusions 12 of the first ring body 1 are respectively extended into the second notches 21 of the two second ring bodies 2, the torque formed by the limiting resistance provided by the two first protrusions 12 to the two second ring bodies 2 in the circumferential direction is balanced.

[0048] Figure 6 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a piston ring for an engine with a circumferential positioning function, in which the second protrusions of two second ring bodies extend into the first notches of the first ring body respectively according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 A second protrusion 22 extending in the axial direction is formed on one side of each second ring body 2 facing the first ring body 1 , and the two second protrusions 22 extend into the first notch 11 from the upper and lower sides of the first ring body 1 respectively to limit the rotation of each second ring body 2 relative to the first ring body 1 .

[0050] In this embodiment, a second protrusion 22 extending in the axial direction is formed on the side of each second ring body 2 facing the first ring body 1, and the two second protrusions 22 extend into the first notch 11 from the upper and lower sides of the first ring body 1 respectively to further limit the rotation of each second ring body 2 relative to the first ring body 1.

[0052] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 7-Figure 15 The first ring body 1 is provided with arc-shaped protrusions 13 extending in the circumferential direction on the upper and lower sides respectively. The cross-sectional area of ​​the arc-shaped protrusions 13 is configured to be a trapezoid that gradually decreases toward the first ring body 1. The two arc-shaped protrusions 13 are symmetrically arranged about the radial extension line of the first ring body 1 where the first notch 11 is located. A matching arc-shaped protrusion 23 matching the arc-shaped protrusion 13 is formed on the semicircle of each second ring body 2 opposite to the second notch 21. The matching arc-shaped protrusions 23 of the two second ring bodies 2 are respectively combined with the two arc-shaped protrusions 13 of the first ring body 1 to limit the movement of the two second ring bodies 2 relative to the first ring body 1 in the axial direction.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the two arc-shaped protrusions 13 located on the upper and lower sides of the first ring body 1 is constructed as a trapezoid that gradually decreases toward the first ring body 1, and the matching arc-shaped protrusions 23 of the two second ring bodies 2 are respectively combined with the two arc-shaped protrusions 13 of the first ring body 1 to limit the movement of the two second ring bodies 2 in the axial direction relative to the first ring body 1.

[0054] Furthermore, through the above-mentioned arrangement, the positive torsional force and elastic force formed between the two second ring bodies 2 and the first ring body 1 strengthen the axial connection between the two second ring bodies 2 and the first ring body 1, and have better sealing and stability.

[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.13 The two arc-shaped protrusions 13 extend 180° from the position of the first notch 11 in opposite circumferential directions respectively, and the matching arc-shaped protrusion 23 extends 180° from the position of the second convex portion 22 in the circumferential direction and is opposite to the second notch 21. The matching arc-shaped protrusions 23 of the two second ring bodies 2 are respectively combined with the two arc-shaped protrusions 13 located on both sides of the first ring body 1, so that the first ring body 1 and the two second ring bodies 2 form a complete circular surface in the circumferential direction.

[0056] Through the above-mentioned setting method, the matching arc-shaped protrusions 23 of the two second ring bodies 2 are respectively combined with the arc-shaped protrusions 13 of the first ring body 1, so that the dimensions of the outer wall surface of the piston ring in the circumferential direction at each point in the axial direction after the two second ring bodies 2 are combined with the first ring body 1 remain consistent, and a complete circumferential surface is formed, thereby preventing the lubricating oil from flowing to the outside of the piston ring and improving the sealing effect of the piston ring on the internal lubricating oil.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2-Figure 3 The annular outer wall surface of the first ring body 1 is configured to bulge radially outward in the middle portion, and the annular outer wall surface of each second ring body 2 is configured to be inclined radially inward toward the first ring body 1, and the maximum outer diameters of the first ring body 1 and the second ring body 2 are the same, so that the stacked first ring body 1, the two second ring bodies 2 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 4 form a cavity 5 for storing lubricating oil.

[0058] Through the above arrangement, the first ring body 1 and the two second ring bodies 2 are stacked and installed between the piston 3 and the cylinder body 4, and cavities 5 for storing lubricating oil are formed between the first ring body 1 and the two second ring bodies 2 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 4. The oil storage cavity 5 is formed between the first ring body 1 and the two second ring bodies 2 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 4, which can effectively improve the lubrication of the piston ring at the top dead center and prevent the lubricating oil from running up, thereby improving the carbon deposition problem of particulate matter entering the crankcase, and preventing the wear of the cylinder body 4 caused by carbon deposition while increasing the life of the lubricating oil.

[0059] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the cone angle of the annular outer wall of the second ring body 2 is 20°-70°, preferably 45°.

[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2-Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.13 The width of the end of each arc-shaped protrusion 13 combined with the first ring body 1 in the radial direction is 1 / 2 of the maximum width of the first ring body 1 in the radial direction. The width of the end of the matching arc-shaped protrusion 23 combined with the first ring body 1 in the axial direction in the radial direction is 1 / 2 of the maximum width of the second ring body 2 in the radial direction.

[0061] Through the above-mentioned setting method, the bonding area between the matching arc-shaped protrusions 23 of the two second ring bodies 2 and the two arc-shaped protrusions 13 of the first ring body 1 is increased, so as to improve the bonding strength between the two second ring bodies 2 and the first ring body 1 in the axial direction, so as to further prevent the two second ring bodies 2 from moving in the axial direction relative to the first ring body 1.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 2-Figure 3 A groove 24 extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the outer side of the upper surface of the second ring body 2 located on the upper side away from the first ring body 1, so that when the second ring body 2 located on the upper side moves inside the cylinder body 4, under the action of the piston 3, the second ring body 2 located on the upper side generates a torque to fit tightly against the inner wall of the cylinder body 4, thereby increasing the contact force between the second ring body 2 located on the upper side and the inner wall of the cylinder body 4.

[0063] In this embodiment, a groove 24 extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the outer side of the upper surface of the second ring body 2 located on the upper side of the first ring body 1 and away from the first ring body 1, so that when the second ring body 2 moves inside the cylinder body 4, under the action of the piston 3, the moments generated between the two sides of the second ring body 2 facing each other are unequal, so that the second ring body 2 generates torque, so that the second ring body 2 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the cylinder body 4, increasing the contact force between the second ring body 2 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 4.

[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, the thermal expansion coefficient a2 of the second ring body 2 located at the upper side is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient a1 of the first ring body 1 and greater than the thermal expansion coefficient a3 of the second ring body 2 located at the lower side.

[0065] In this embodiment, the second ring body 2 located on the upper side is located close to the combustion chamber, has a large surface heat, and is usually in a high-temperature environment. The first ring body 1 plays a role in further sealing the gas and controlling the oil, and can serve as a buffer for the two second ring bodies 2 located on the upper and lower sides. The second ring body 2 located on the lower side mainly plays a role in controlling the oil and further sealing. Based on the installation position and function of the above-mentioned first ring body 1 and the two second ring bodies 2, the thermal expansion coefficient a2 of the second ring body 2 located on the upper side> the thermal expansion coefficient a1 of the first ring body 1> the thermal expansion coefficient a3 of the second ring body 2 located on the lower side, so as to meet the working conditions of the first ring body 1 and the two second ring bodies 2.

[0066] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3 , an engine system is provided, comprising a cylinder 4, a piston 3 and the piston ring for an engine with a circumferential positioning function as described in the above embodiment. The piston 3 is installed inside the cylinder 4. The piston ring for an engine with a circumferential positioning function as described in the above embodiment is installed between the piston 3 and the cylinder 4.

[0067] In this embodiment, the piston ring for the engine with the circumferential positioning function described in the above embodiment is installed between the piston 3 and the cylinder block 4 to prevent the lubricating oil inside the piston ring from flowing to the outside of the piston ring.

[0068] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the piston 3 is formed with a first ring groove 31, a second ring groove 32, a third ring groove 33 and a fourth ring groove 34 suitable for installing piston rings. For example, the piston ring of the embodiment of the present invention is installed inside the first ring groove 31.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
