PISTON RING AND BOOSTER PUMP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18706912 titled 'PISTON RING AND BOOSTER PUMP
The patent application describes a piston ring with a low-pressure side ring and a high-pressure side ring stacked along the axis, with the high-pressure side ring closer to the fluid to be compressed. Rotation restriction parts are included on both sides to prevent rotation relative to the piston, and a low-pressure side protrusion is inserted into a low-pressure side abutment on the high-pressure side ring.
- The piston ring includes a low-pressure side ring and a high-pressure side ring stacked along the axis.
- Rotation restriction parts on both sides prevent rotation relative to the piston.
- A low-pressure side protrusion on the high-pressure side ring is inserted into a low-pressure side abutment.
- Clearances are provided in the circumferential direction between the low-pressure side ring and the low-pressure side protrusion.
Potential Applications: - Automotive engines - Industrial machinery - Marine engines
Problems Solved: - Improved sealing efficiency - Reduced wear and tear - Enhanced engine performance
Benefits: - Increased durability - Better compression - Improved fuel efficiency
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Piston Ring Technology for Improved Engine Performance This technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, industrial, and marine for better engine performance and efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the rotation restriction parts contribute to the overall functionality of the piston ring?
The rotation restriction parts prevent unwanted rotation of the piston ring, ensuring proper alignment and sealing within the engine.
2. What are the potential long-term benefits of using this piston ring technology in engines?
The long-term benefits include improved engine performance, reduced maintenance costs, and increased longevity of the engine components.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a piston ring including: a low-pressure side ring; and a high-pressure side ring, the low-pressure side ring and the high-pressure side ring are arranged stacked in a direction along the axis so that the high-pressure side ring is closer to a fluid to be compressed, a low-pressure side rotation restriction part configured to restrict rotation in the circumferential direction relative to the piston is formed to the low-pressure side ring, a high-pressure side rotation restriction part configured to restrict rotation in the circumferential direction relative to the piston and a low-pressure side protrusion protruding toward the low-pressure side ring and inserted in the low-pressure side abutment are formed to the high-pressure side ring, and the low-pressure side protrusion is inserted in a low-pressure side abutment with clearances being provided in both sides in the circumferential direction between the low-pressure side ring and the low-pressure side protrusion.
