Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cylinder includes grooving in the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder. In the cylinder, the grooving includes a honed groove and recessed grooves of which the groove widths and groove depths are more than those of the honed groove, the honed groove and the recessed grooves extend in the circumferential direction of the cylinder and include an inclination angle with respect to a direction perpendicular to the axis direction of the cylinder, and a length of 4 mm in which four or more of the recessed grooves exist in the axis direction of the cylinder in a region in which an oil ring slides in a case in which a crank angle is 50° or more and 140° or less can be selected on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A cylinder comprising grooving in an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder, wherein the grooving comprises a honed groove and recessed grooves of which groove widths and groove depths are more than those of the honed groove, the honed groove and the recessed grooves extend in a circumferential direction of the cylinder and comprise an inclination angle with respect to a direction perpendicular to an axis direction of the cylinder, and wherein the recessed grooves are formed so that a length of 4 mm in which four or more of the recessed grooves exist in an axis direction of the cylinder in a region in which an oil ring slides in a case in which a crank angle is 50° or more and 140° or less on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder. 2 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein the recessed grooves comprise a point at which the recessed grooves cross each other in the region in which the oil ring slides in the case in which the crank angle is 50° or more and 140° or less. 3 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein the recessed grooves comprise a groove width of 30 μm or more. 4 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein in the selected length of 4 mm, a mean depth W of a waviness motif of an envelope waviness curve is 0.28 μm or more. 5 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein, in the selected length of 4 mm, (mean depth W of waviness motif of envelope waviness curve)×(mean length AW of waviness motif) is 80 μm 2 or more and 300 μm 2 or less. 6 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein, in the selected length of 4 mm, (difference Rke between levels of cores of envelope waviness curve)/(difference Rk between levels of cores of roughness curve) is 0.6 or less. 7 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein, in the selected length of 4 mm, (mean depth Rvke of protruding trough of envelope waviness curve)/(mean depth Rvk of protruding trough of roughness curve) is 0.9 or less. 8 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein, in the selected length of 4 mm, (mean height Rpke of protruding crest+difference Rke between levels of cores+mean depth Rvke of protruding trough, of envelope waviness curve)/(mean height Rpk of protruding crest+difference Rk between levels of cores+mean depth Rvk of protruding trough, of roughness curve) is 0.9 or less. 9 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein, in the selected length of 4 mm, (mean depth Rvke of protruding trough of envelope waviness curve)/(mean depth W of waviness motif of envelope waviness curve) is 1.0 or less. 10 . The cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein a length of 4 mm in which four or more of the recessed grooves exist in an axis direction of the cylinder in a region in which an oil ring slides in a case in which a crank angle comprising a top dead point is 0° or more and less than 50° is incapable of being selected on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder.
