Title:
STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING CRANKSHAFT OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/044621
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A structure for supporting a crankshaft (1) of an internal combustion engine
by using a crank cap (20) as a bearing member assembled to a cylinder block. The
crank cap (20) is constructed from two split elements (left cap element (21),
right cap element (22)) split in the direction of both sides (14, 14) of the cylinder
block. With the cap elements (21, 22) assembled to the cylinder block (10), there
is a gap (25) with a distance (D) between those end faces (21a, 22a) of the cap elements
(21, 22) that face each other. The gap (25) does not allow the end faces (21a, 22a)
to be in contact with each other in an actual use environment of the internal combustion
engine.
