Montgomery ABSTRACT: A pairof inlet ports are provided on one side of the cylinder with a bridge of the liner therebetween and with the far sides thereof squared to give added inlet capacity, by successive end milling operations in which the mill is advanced along a chord of the cylinder for each port from an initial cut adjacent the bridge to a position of completion where the end of the mill leaves a vertical far edge for the port. A similar construction and method may be provided for the exhaust port on the opposite side of the cylinder. If desired, this construction and method may be utilized to construct a single substantially rectangular port.
Patented Nov. 24, 1970 Sheet INVENTOR. RAYMOND L. ELLINGSEN signee herewith. Such ports are, however, useful for either exhaust or inlet ports of other types of two-cycle engines.
In the construction of two-cycle engines in the past it has been common to provide several circular or nearly circular ports for both the intake or the exhaust as by drilling through the wall of the cylinder and the sleeve liner therefor. In this practice the inlet ports might be drilled on one side of the cylinder by advancing the drills axially either radially of the cylinder or in parallel paths. The same was true for the exhaust ports on the opposite side of the cylinder.
The circular or nearly circular openings thus provided are not considered the most efficient since the piston does not uncover the full width of the port immediately.
Where high efficiency and/or more port area is desired additional machining operations have been employed to make the openings more nearly rectangular in shape. Such operations have been expensive and time consuming in the past.
The present invention provides a simple procedure for machining separate port openings wherein there is a substantial horizontal upper edge for the opening with at least one side edge of the port substantially vertical, thereby approaching a rectangular port and greatly improving the control of the flow of gases therethrough. The invention can also be utilized to make a single substantially rectangular port.
In carrying out the invention each port is formed by advancing an end mill along a chord of the cylinder to the cylinder wall and stopping the milling operation at a point where the edge of the port immediately facing the end of the mill is substantially vertical.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a cylinder and 5 piston with parts broken away to show the port construction;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of a portion of a multicylinder block showing the spaced inlet ports in elevation;
FIG. 3 is a horizontal transverse section taken on line 3-3 of FIG. 2 through a portion of a multicylinder engine block illustrating schematically the formation of the completed ports for one cylinder and the milling operation for machining the ports in the other cylinder;
FIG. 4 is a vertical transverse section through a cylinder on line 4-4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing a substantially stantially rectangular port for one cylinder and the milling operation for machining the ports in the other cylinder.
In the construction illustrated, the cast engine block 1, only a portion of which is shown, provides one or more cylinders 2 in each of which a piston 3 is adapted to reciprocate as is well understood for internal combustion engines of the two cycle reciprocating piston type.
For such engines it is quite desirable to provide one or more inlet ports on one side of the cylinder for the ingress of intake gases and one for more exhaust ports on the opposite side of the cylinder for the egress of exhaust gases. The upper edges of the exhaust ports are generally located somewhat higher in the cylinder wall than the upper edges of the inlet ports so that the piston uncovers the exhaust ports first. thereby generally releasing the pressure in the cylinder before opening the inlet ports.
It is desirable that the ports have a substantially rectangular shape presenting a horizontal upper edge of substantial length rather than being circular or of oval shape wherein the upper edge is curved, since with the curved upper edge the uncovering of the ports by the piston is gradua and does not have the efficiency in flow characteristics that is desirable.
The present invention provides such an upper horizontal edge for the ports and thereby effects a higher efficiency in gas flow for either or both the exhaust and the inlet.
In carrying out the invention the two-spaced inlet ports 4 and 5 for anengine of the type described in the Meier application identified above may be readily milled by separate milling operations as illustrated in FIG. 3 and wherein the end mill 6 in each instance is directed generally along a chord 7 of the cylinder from a starting position near the bridge 8 between the ports to be milled. The mill is then advanced axially as it rotates until the lead end thereof reaches a point at which the axial advance is stopped and the outer vertical edge 9 for the corresponding port opening is thus formed. Upon stopping the milling action at this point the port thus produced will have a substantial length of horizontal upper edge 10 between the vertical outer edge 9 and a generally elliptical inner edge 11. The lower edge 12 of the ports 4 and 5 will be horizontal and generally will correspond to the upper edge 10 in length. As shown, the axis of the mill 6 is very nearly tangential to the inner cylindrical surface of the cylinder 2 but the angle the mill enters the cylinder may be varied to obtain the desired port shape.
A single substantially rectangular port for a cylinder may be I constructed in the same manner, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. It is possible to eliminate the bridge and to combine the two-port openings into one, provided the total circumferential extent of the single slotlike port 13 thus provided does 'not result in an interference with the reciprocation of the piston rings past the port. Generally an unbridged opening should not exceed 72 in circumferential extent.
In the construction of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, two separate milling operations similar to those shown in FIG. 3 but arranged so as to eliminate the bridge are employed in producing the single slot exhaust port 13. The end edges 14 and 15 of port 13 are substantially vertical. The upper and lower edges 16 and 17, while not exactly a straight line, extend horizontally for the full distance between the ends 14 and 15.
The invention thus provides a method of easily and inexpensively producing substantially rectangular ports.
