  • Patent number: 10072705
    Abstract: The provided is a bearing device for a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine including: a crankshaft having a plurality of journal portions; main bearings for supporting the crankshaft; and a bearing housing, wherein a range in which the oil groove of the upper-side halved bearing of the second main bearing is formed in the circumferential direction includes at least a range of a circumferential angle of 20° within the ±45° region, a circumferential end portion of the oil groove on a rotationally forward side communicates with the crush relief at a minimum, and is open to a circumferential end face at a maximum, and a circumferential end portion of the oil groove on the rotationally backward side of the journal portion is positioned on a circumferential center portion side of the upper-side halved bearing from a circumferential end face of the upper-side halved bearing.

  • Patent number: 10072706
    Abstract: A bearing device includes a crankshaft having a plurality of journal portions, main bearings for supporting the crankshaft, and a bearing housing. The plurality of journal portions includes a first journal portion with a lubricating oil passage and a second journal portion without the lubricating oil passage. The first and second journal portions are supported by the first and second main bearings. The bearing housing includes an upper-side housing and a lower-side housing. A length of a crush relief of at least an upper-side halved bearing of the second main bearing is larger than a length of the crush relief of each of upper-side and lower-side halved bearings of the first main bearing.

  • Patent number: 10072699
    Abstract: The bearing apparatus 1 includes a crankshaft having multiple journals, main bearings supporting the crankshaft, and a bearing housing. The plurality of journals include a first journal with a lubricating oil passage and a second journal without a lubricating oil passage. The first and second journals are supported by first and second main bearings, respectively. The bearing housing is constituted by an Al-alloy upper housing and an Fe-alloy lower housing. The depth of the oil groove of the upper half bearing of the second main bearing at least in a ±45° region is equal to or smaller than a half of the depth of the oil groove of the upper half bearing of the first main bearing in the ±45° region.
