Abstract


The solution to the problem of increasing the motor resource of an internal combustion engine (ICE) is directly related to the reduction of energy losses due to overcoming friction in the elements of systems, mechanisms, and complexly loaded tribo-couplers (TC). Among the mechanical friction losses, a special place isoccupied by the hydromechanical friction losses in the internal combustion engine. The reduction of energy losses to overcome friction is achieved by reducing mechanical losses by limiting the level of loading of the rubbing surfaces, by increasing the proportion of the liquid friction regime for the most critical in terms of reliability resource-determining complex loaded vehicles. For complexly loaded vehicles, the time and magnitude of the acting loads are characteristic, at which the position of the movable element
in conjunction is characterized by high eccentricities. Such complexly loaded vehicles include the main and connecting rod bearings of the crankshaft, the “piston guide – cylinder liner” and “piston ring – cylinder liner” couplings, the thrust and thrust bearings of the ICE turbocharger, etc. One of the ways to reduce oil starvation isto texturize the contacting surfaces, which will increase the bearing capacity of a complex bearing due to the creation of many “micro wedges”. In particular, the texturing of the surface of the bearing shells of the crankshaft can be performed in the form of elliptical micro-holes, which allow you to save oil on the friction surface under any operating conditions of the diesel engine. The article provides an overview of the main types of microtexturing of friction surfaces of TC. A calculation model has been created
and a calculation analysis program has been developed for the internal combustion engine
“crankshaft neck-liner” TC. The calculations ofthe hydromechanical characteristics (HMC) of the vehicle for various types of microtexture were performed using the connecting rod bearing of the diesel engine CHN 13/15 as an example.
