Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
When temperature of lubricating oil is raised at a time of low-temperature, of an outer peripheral side of a radial plain bearing in a bearing retaining unit, heat is not supplied from a heating medium in a thermal medium flow path on the outer peripheral side of a halved bearing metal in a bearing retaining unit body, which has a large thermal capacity, and instead, heat is supplied from the heating medium in the thermal medium flow path on the outer peripheral side of a halved bearing metal in the cap, which has a small thermal capacity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A bearing structure for an internal combustion engine in which a rotational shaft of an internal combustion engine is supported by a radial plain bearing via lubricating oil and the radial plain bearing is retained by a bearing retaining unit, the bearing structure comprising: a heat supplying device which supplies heat on an outer peripheral side of the radial plain bearing in the bearing retaining unit, wherein: the bearing retaining unit comprises…
