Abstract:
A cylinder liner for insert casting used in a cylinder block is provided. The cylinder liner includes an outer circumferential surface having a plurality of projections. Each projection has a constricted shape. A film of a metal material is formed on the outer circumferential surface and the surfaces of the projections. As a result, the cylinder liner ensures sufficient bond strength with the casting material of a cylinder block, and sufficient thermal conductivity with the cylinder block.
Abstract:
A cylinder liner has an outer circumferential surface on which a film is formed. The film functions to form gaps between the cylinder block and the cylinder liner. Alternatively, the film functions to reduce adhesion of the cylinder liner to the cylinder block. The cylinder liner suppresses excessive decreases in the temperature of a cylinder.
Abstract:
A cylinder liner for insert casting used in a cylinder block is disclosed. The cylinder liner has an outer circumferential surface, and upper, middle, and lower portions with respect to an axial direction of the cylinder liner. A high thermal conductive film is formed in a section of the outer circumferential surface that corresponds to the upper portion, and a low thermal conductive film is formed in a section of the outer circumferential surface that corresponds to the lower portion. The high thermal conductive film and the low thermal conductive film are laminated in a section of the outer circumferential surface that corresponds to the middle portion, thereby forming a laminated film portion. As a result, temperature difference along the axial direction of the cylinder is reduced.
Abstract:
A cylinder liner for an engine cylinder block. A roughening process is performed only on an upper region of the outer surface of the cylinder liner. This increases adhesiveness with a sprayed layer at the upper region compared to a lower region of the liner outer surface. Therefore, difference in thermal conductance is produced in the axial direction of the cylinder liner. This maintains the wall temperature of the cylinder bore in an appropriate temperature range. Even if adhesiveness at the lower region of the liner outer surface is low, bottleneck-shaped projections are distributed on the liner outer surface. Thus, the bonding strength between the cylinder liner and the sprayed layer and the cylinder liner and the cylinder block via the sprayed layer is sufficient. This maintains the roundness of the cylinder bore and prevents fuel efficiency from being lowered by exhaust gas loss and mechanical loss.
Abstract:
A cylinder liner has an upper portion and a lower portion with respect to an axial direction of the cylinder liner. A high thermal conductive film is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the upper portion. A low thermal conductive film is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the lower portion. The cylinder liner reduces temperature difference of a cylinder along its axial direction.
Abstract:
A liner outer surface is coated by a sprayed layer or a heterogeneous metal layer including a base metal phase and dispersed metal phases. During casting, liquid metal enters the sprayed layer from the dispersed metal phases and solidifies in a virtual vegetation root state. The surface of the cylinder block is thus rigidly fixed to the surface of the cylinder liner. In this case, a strong bonding force is produced between the cylinder block and the cylinder liner and high thermal conductivity is obtained compared to the prior art in which the liquid metal merely contacts a surface layer.
Abstract:
A continuous conveyance system comprising a series of ship-shaped conveyance containers whereby bulk load is conveyed, two pairs of endless chains adapted to support and carry said conveyance containers at both front and rear portions thereof, said pairs of endless chains consisting of a pair of inner chains adapted to carry the front portion of each said container and a pair of outer chains adapted to carry the rear portion of said container, chain wheels around which said endless chains are passed, said chain wheels consisting of the inner chain wheels around which said inner endless chains are passed and the outer chain wheels around which said outer endless chains are passed, said both inner and outer chain wheels being secured to a common shaft at the rotatory section where the bulk load is received, the rotatory section where bulk load is dropped and the rotatory section where the direction of movement of the conveyance container is merely changed by 90.degree., said both inner and outer chain wheels being arranged horizontally while suitably spaced-apart from each other at the rotatory section where the horizontal movement of each said conveyance container is turned to the vertical movement while maintaining the horizontal posture of the container, and a bulk load discharge promoting device provided at the rotatory section where the bulk load is dropped. Each of said ship-shaped conveyance containers is made from a flexible plate with excellent releasability so as to avoid holdover of the bulk in the container and to allow effective cooperation with the load discharge promoting device. In order to accomplish efficient discharge of bulk load, it is desirable to provide means for giving vibrations to the container body in said discharge promoting device.
Abstract:
A protection circuit includes a detector to detect an overcharging or an excessive discharging of a battery, from a voltage of a power terminal coupled to the battery, a controller to generate a control signal to stop the charging or the discharging of the battery when a detection of the overcharging or the excessive discharging is continuously detected by the detector for a predetermined time, and a current varying circuit to vary a current flowing through the power terminal only for a certain time when the detector detects the overcharging or the excessive discharging of the battery.
