Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine connecting rods, in particular to an engine connecting rod with a rapid cooling structure. Background Art
[0002] During the movement of a car, the engine provides power, converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotational motion on the crankshaft through the connecting rod. The crankshaft's rotation outputs torque to drive the flywheel. The engine connecting rod's function is to transmit the force exerted on the piston to the crankshaft, converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotational motion of the crankshaft. The connecting rod is composed of parts such as the connecting rod body, connecting rod cap, connecting rod bolt, and connecting rod bearing. The small end of the connecting rod is used to install the piston pin to connect to the piston.
[0003] When the engine is running, the existing engine connecting rod heats up due to the friction with the piston and crankshaft and the heat generated by combustion. The high temperature will cause the strength of the connecting rod material to decrease, making it more likely to deform or even break when subjected to normal working loads. In addition, repeated thermal cycles and high temperatures will accelerate fatigue damage to the connecting rod material, significantly shortening its fatigue life. Traditional engine connecting rods can only dissipate heat through natural heat dissipation when in use, with low heat dissipation efficiency. It is difficult to achieve rapid heat dissipation when the connecting rod is in use, making it easy for the connecting rod to be in a high-temperature state for a long time, resulting in a short service life of the engine connecting rod. To this end, we propose an engine connecting rod with a rapid cooling structure. Utility Model Content
