[0028] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the piston ring comprises: a main ring body 10, a first open end 20 connected to a first side surface of the main ring body, and a second open end 30 connected to a second side surface of the main ring body.

[0030] The main ring body 10 includes a main upper end face 101, a main lower end face 102, a first side face 103, and a second side face 104. The first opening end portion 20 includes a first upper end face 201 flush with the main upper end face 101 of the main ring body 10, a first lower end face 202, and a third side face 203. The second opening end portion 30 includes a second upper end face 301 flush with the main lower end face 102 of the main ring body 10, a second lower end face 302 mutually abutting against the first lower end face 202 of the first opening end portion 20, and a fourth side face 303.

[0031] It can be understood that the first upper end face 201 of the first opening end 20 and the main upper end face 101 of the main ring body 10 together constitute the total upper end face of the piston ring, and the second lower end face 302 of the second opening end 30 and the main lower end face 102 of the main ring body 10 together constitute the total lower end face of the piston ring. When the piston ring is in a state where no external force is applied, the opening of the piston ring is 0, the total upper end face and the total lower end face of the piston ring are parallel to each other, and the total outer circumference and the total inner circumference of the piston ring are both smooth and closed annular curved surfaces. At this time, the first lower end face 202 of the first opening end 20 is completely in contact with the second lower end face 302 of the second opening end 30; the first side face 103 of the main ring body 10 is completely in contact with the third side face 203 of the first opening end 20; the second side face 104 of the main ring body 10 is completely in contact with the fourth side face 303 of the second opening end 30.

[0032] The third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 is equally divided into three parts with different protrusion degrees. The first side surface 103 of the main ring body 10 has a structure corresponding to the third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 and can be completely fitted therewith.

[0033] The fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end portion 30 is equally divided into three parts with different protrusion degrees. The second side surface 104 of the main ring body 10 has a structure corresponding to the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end portion 30 and can be completely fitted therewith.

[0034] The specific implementation method of equally dividing the third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 into three parts with different protrusion degrees may be as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, the third side surface 203 of the first opening end portion 20 is equally divided into a first portion 2031, a second portion 2032 and a third portion 2033, the first portion 2031 and the third portion 2033 have the same convexity, and the second portion 2032 has a lower convexity than the other two portions; Figure 4-5 As shown, in one embodiment, the third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 is equally divided into a first portion 2031, a second portion 2032 and a third portion 2033, and the protrusion degrees of the first portion 2031, the second portion 2032 and the third portion 2033 increase in sequence.

[0035] The specific implementation method of equally dividing the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end portion 30 into three parts with different protrusion degrees may be as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end portion 30 is equally divided into a fourth portion 3031, a fifth portion 3032 and a sixth portion 3033, the fourth portion 3031 and the sixth portion 3033 have the same protrusion degree, and the fourth portion 3031 has a lower protrusion degree than the other two portions; Figure 4-5 As shown, in one embodiment, the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end 30 is equally divided into a fourth portion 3031, a fifth portion 3032 and a sixth portion 3033, and the protrusion degrees of the fourth portion 3031, the fifth portion 3032 and the sixth portion 3033 increase in sequence.

[0036] It is understandable that the structures of the third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 and the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end 30 do not have to be completely the same. Figure 1-2 and Figure 4-5 The embodiment is only a preferred embodiment, and the third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 may also be Figure 1-2 or Figure 4-5In one embodiment, the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end 30 adopts another embodiment different from the embodiment of the third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20. The shape of the protrusion is not necessarily the same as the embodiment in the figure, as long as the first side surface 103 of the main ring body 10 and the third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 can be fitted with each other and the second side surface 104 of the main ring body 10 and the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end 30 can be fitted with each other. The third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 can be equally divided into three parts along the horizontal or vertical direction, the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end 30 can be equally divided into three parts along the horizontal or vertical direction, and the equal division direction of the third side surface 203 of the first opening end 20 and the fourth side surface 303 of the second opening end 30 can also be the same or different.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the distance between the first upper end face 201 and the first lower end face 202 of the first opening end 20 is the same as the distance between the second upper end face 301 and the second lower end face 302 of the second opening end 30, and both are 1 / 2 of the distance between the main upper end face 101 and the main lower end face 102 of the main ring body 10.

[0038] It can be understood that the distance between the first upper end face 201 and the first lower end face 202 of the first opening end 20 and the distance between the second upper end face 301 and the second lower end face 302 of the second opening end 30 do not have to be the same. The added distance only needs to be the same as the distance between the main upper end face 101 and the main lower end face 102 of the main ring body 10.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to increase the anti-deformation performance of the piston ring, in one embodiment, the inner circumference of the main ring body 10 also has a groove 40 whose two ends are not connected to any other surface of the main ring body 10. In one embodiment, the groove 40 of the main ring body 10 is arranged in the middle of the inner circumference of the main ring body 10, and its width is 1 / 2 of the distance between the main upper end face 101 and the main lower end face 102 of the main ring body 10. In one embodiment, a spring 401 is arranged inside the groove 40 of the main ring body 10, and the two ends of the spring 401 are connected to the two ends of the groove 40 of the main ring body 10.

[0040] It is understandable that the groove 40 of the main ring body 10 does not have to be set in the middle of the inner circumference of the main ring body 10, and its width does not have to be 1 / 2 of the distance between the main upper end surface 101 and the main lower end surface 102 of the main ring body 10.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of one or more embodiments of the present specification and is not intended to limit one or more embodiments of the present specification. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments of the present specification shall be included in the scope of protection of one or more embodiments of the present specification.
