Cylinder crankcase comprising a cylinder liner
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a cylinder crankcase ( 4 ) comprising at least one cylinder liner ( 2 ) which is integrally cast in the cylinder crankcase ( 4 ). The cylinder liner ( 2 ) runs in the cylinder crankcase ( 4 ) from a cylinder-head side ( 6 ) to an oil-chamber side ( 8 ) and has an inner side ( 10 ) and an outer side ( 14 ). The invention is characterized in that the cylinder liner ( 2 ), at least at one end, is longer along the inner side ( 10 ) in the axial direction ( 20 ) than on the outer side ( 14 ). The transition from the inner side ( 10 ) to the outer side ( 14 ) is affected in the form of encircling, concentric steps ( 22 ).
1. A cylinder crankcase comprising at least one cylinder liner ( 2 ) which is integrally cast in the cylinder crankcase ( 4 ) and runs in the cylinder crankcase ( 4 ) from a cylinder-head side ( 6 ) to an oil-chamber side ( 8 ), the cylinder liner ( 2 ) having an inner side ( 10 ), which forms a cylinder tube ( 12 ), and an outer side ( 14 ), around which the cylinder crankcase ( 4 ) is cast completely and directly, characterized in that the at least one cylinder liner ( 2 ), at least at one end ( 16 , 18 ), is longer on the inner side ( 10 ) in the axial direction than on the outer side ( 14 ), and in that the transition from the inner side ( 10 ) to the outer side ( 14 ) is effected in the form of encircling, concentric steps ( 22 ).
2. The cylinder crankcase as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one end ( 16 , 18 ), having steps ( 22 ), of the cylinder liner ( 2 ) is an oil-chamber-side end ( 16 ).
3. The cylinder crankcase as claimed in claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the number of steps ( 22 ) per end ( 16 , 18 ) is between 2 and 6.
