Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pistons, in particular to a novel spheroidal milled cast iron piston. Background Art

[0002] The piston is a vital component in the car engine, and it plays a key role in the movement of the model. The piston is mainly used to withstand gas pressure: the piston withstands the combustion pressure in the cylinder and transmits this force to the crankshaft through the piston pin and connecting rod, thereby driving the engine to operate.

[0003] A sealed space is formed between the piston and the cylinder wall to ensure that the combustion process takes place in a controlled environment. During combustion, the piston is in direct contact with high-temperature gas, the instantaneous temperature can reach over 2500K, and it withstands a gas pressure of up to 3 to 9 MPa. Therefore, the lubrication conditions between the piston and the cylinder wall have an important influence on engine performance.

[0004] In short, the piston plays a vital role in the car engine. It ensures the normal operation and high efficiency of the engine by bearing high pressure and high temperature, sealing and lubricating, and converting pressure into mechanical power.

[0005] The existing pistons have relatively general lubrication and cooling effects, which to a certain extent limits the service life of the pistons. Moreover, most of them are made of aluminum alloy, which has low wear resistance and heat resistance and a large expansion coefficient. Especially when used in natural gas diesel engines, they are prone to large deformation at high temperatures and piston ablation, resulting in a high probability of cylinder scuffing, causing great damage to the diesel engine.

[0006] Therefore, the present application provides a novel spheroidal milled cast iron piston to overcome the defects of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model aims to solve the problems that the existing piston lubrication and cooling effects are mediocre, which affects the service life of the piston, and the original aluminum alloy piston is prone to piston ablation, resulting in a high probability of cylinder pulling.

[0008] The technical solution of the utility model provides a new type of spheroidal cast iron piston, the structure of which mainly includes a piston wall, which is composed of three parts: a piston top, a piston head and a piston skirt. A valve avoidance pit is specially designed on the top of the piston top, which can form a combustion chamber with the cylinder wall. Ring grooves are cleverly opened around the outside of the piston head, and the ring grooves include three gas ring grooves and an oil ring groove located below it, to ensure the lubrication and sealing effect of the piston during operation.

[0009] The skirt wall of the piston skirt is designed with two horizontally penetrating face windows and two piston pin holes that are also horizontally penetrating. The two face windows and the two piston pin holes are arranged opposite to each other, and the piston pin holes and the face windows are arranged at intervals to maintain the structural stability and functionality of the piston skirt. In particular, a vertically arranged connection hole is also opened in the piston pin hole to facilitate connection with other components.

[0010] In order to enhance the heat dissipation performance of the piston, a cooling cavity is specially set inside the piston wall. In addition, an inner cooling chamber is also opened on the inner top wall of the piston wall, which is connected to the cooling cavity to form an efficient cooling system, effectively reducing the temperature of the piston during operation and improving its service life and performance stability.

[0011] The beneficial effects of a novel spheroidal cast iron piston provided by the utility model are:

[0012] The utility model increases the contact area between the engine oil and the piston and improves the cooling effect by providing a cooling cavity and an inner cooling chamber; by providing a surface window, the engine oil can flow out faster after absorbing heat, increasing the engine oil between the piston wall and the cylinder wall, enhancing the lubrication and cooling effects, and extending the service life of the piston;

[0013] The piston is made of ductile iron, which has a small expansion coefficient, high wear resistance and heat resistance, which reduces piston ablation, reduces the probability of cylinder scuffing, avoids damage to the diesel engine, and extends the service life of the engine. Ductile iron has better low-temperature stability, reduces wear and friction noise when the engine is started at low temperature, and improves the performance and reliability of the engine;

[0014] The piston made of ductile iron has a cooling cavity, an inner cooling chamber, an oil discharge hole and a face window provided inside the ductile iron piston, thereby enhancing the lubrication effect, prolonging the service life of the piston, reducing the wear and friction noise during low-temperature starting of the engine, and improving the performance and reliability of the engine. Compared with a traditional cast aluminum piston, the ductile iron piston has a greater strength, a smaller expansion coefficient, and better lubrication and cooling effects. Therefore, when the piston length remains unchanged, the expansion of the piston is lower, so that when the diesel engine is working, the piston stroke is lengthened, the combustion gas expands more fully, the output power is increased, the economy is better, and the probability of cylinder scuffing is reduced.

The oil ring groove 32 is provided with a plurality of oil leakage holes connected with the cooling chamber. The function of the gas ring groove 31 is to ensure the sealing between the piston and the cylinder to prevent the high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas in the cylinder from leaking into the crankcase in large quantities, and at the same time, most of the heat from the top of the piston is transferred to the cylinder wall, which is then taken away by cooling water or air. The oil ring groove 32 is used to scrape off excess engine oil on the cylinder wall and apply a uniform engine oil film on the cylinder wall, which can prevent the engine oil from entering the cylinder and burning, and can also reduce the wear of the piston, piston ring and cylinder and reduce the friction resistance.
