Abstract

In order to reduce bending vibration of a connecting rod, a dynamic absorber ( 50 ) configured to reduce the bending vibration of the connecting rod ( 10 ) is provided on a piston ( 1 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A reciprocal rotation mechanism of an engine including a piston configured to reciprocate in a cylinder, and a connecting rod configured to connect between the piston and a crank shaft, in which the connecting rod includes a large end portion formed with a shaft insertion hole into which the crank shaft is inserted, a small end portion formed with a pin insertion hole into which a piston pin for connection of the piston is inserted, and a connecting portion configured to connect both of the large end portion and the small end portion, the reciprocal rotation mechanism comprising:
another connecting portion provided on a support which is provided on the piston in a thickness direction of the connecting rod;
a dynamic absorber provided on a side surface of the another connecting portion in the thickness direction of the connecting rod;
a mass portion of the dynamic absorber provided on the piston while forming a clearance between the support and the mass portion via the another connecting portion to thereby reduce bending vibration of the connecting rod in the thickness direction of the connecting rod; and
wherein the mass portion and the another connecting portion are integrally made.

2. The reciprocal rotation mechanism of claim 1 , wherein
a boss portion formed with a pin support hole at which the piston pin is supported is formed at each end portion of the piston in a center axis direction of the piston pin, and
the dynamic absorber is provided on an outer surface of each boss portion in the center axis direction of the piston pin.

3. The reciprocal rotation mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the support, the another connecting portion, and the mass portion of the dynamic absorber are integrally made.

4. A reciprocal rotation mechanism of an engine including a piston configured to reciprocate in a cylinder, and a connecting rod configured to connect between the piston and a crank shaft, in which the connecting rod includes a large end portion formed with a shaft insertion hole into which the crank shaft is inserted, a small end portion formed with a pin insertion hole into which a piston pin for connection of the piston is inserted, and a connecting portion configured to connect both of the large end portion and the small end portion, the reciprocal rotation mechanism comprising:
another connecting portion provided on a support which is provided on the piston in a thickness direction of the connecting rod;
a dynamic absorber to reduce bending vibration of the connecting rod in the thickness direction of the connecting rod provided on a side surface of the another connecting portion in a thickness direction of the connecting rod;
a mass portion of the dynamic absorber provided on the piston while forming a clearance between the support and the mass portion via the another connecting portion to thereby reduce bending vibration of the connecting rod; and
wherein the mass portion and the another connecting portion are integrally made.

5. The reciprocal rotation mechanism of claim 4 , wherein the support, the another connecting portion, and the mass portion of the dynamic absorber are integrally made.
