Abstract:
A scroll compressor has a compression mechanism accommodated in a closed container and comprising a stationary scroll and an orbiting scroll. The stationary scroll includes a frame and a separate wrap element secured to the frame or otherwise movable relative to the frame. The orbiting scroll has a wrap element allowed to undergo circular translation with respect to the wrap element of the stationary scroll to compress gas. The wrap element of the stationary scroll is made of a readily machinable abrasion-resistant material to reduce the manufacturing cost of the scroll compressor.
Abstract:
An opposed-cylinder internal-combustion engine, includes a cylinder block and crankcase which is longitudinally divided in the center of the crankshaft bearing. A bearing support is connected with the crankcase by way of cylinder head bolts. The cylinder block and crankcase has a joint vertical junction plane with the bearing support. Both bearing support halves are, on the one hand, connected with one another by way of bearing block screws and, on the other hand, the bearing support is held by way lo of cylinder head bolts between the crankcase halves arranged at both sides of the bearing support while forming oil ducts. At the same time, cylinder heads can be fastened on the crankcase by way of the screws.
Abstract:
A cylinder block has a cylinder block body and a cylinder liner block mounted by casting in the cylinder block body. The cylinder liner block is formed from a material having a rigidity larger than that of the cylinder block body, and the cylinder liner block comprises a liner section mounted by casting in position in a cylinder barrel portion of the cylinder block body, and a reinforcing wall section mounted by casting in position in a bearing wall of a crank case portion of the cylinder block body. Thus, it is possible to increase the wear resistance of cylinders in the cylinder block, as well as to provide an increase in performance by reductions in vibration and noise of the engine including the cylinder block, and to provide reductions in size, weight and cost of the cylinder block by a reduction in thickness of the bearing walls.
Abstract:
An engine unit includes a cylinder block of a short-skirt type which has a plurality of first partition walls and a plurality of crank journals formed on the partition walls and rotatably receiving the crankshaft. Bearing caps are fitted to the crank journals and rotatably hold the crankshaft in cooperation with the crank journals. A lower case is fixed to the cylinder block and covers the crankshaft. The lower case includes a pair of flanges abutting against the lower edges of the skirt portions, a semi-cylindrical bottom wall, and a plurality of second partition walls formed on the bottom wall to oppose the first partition walls. Each bearing cap is clamped between the first and second partition walls. The lower case is fixed to the cylinder block by means of first bolts screwed into the skirt portions through the flanges, and second bolts screwed into the crank journals through the second partition walls and bearing caps.
