Crank-Connecting Rod MechanismCrank-connecting rod mechanism consists of piston-connecting rod group, crankshaft flywheel group, engine block group.1The Engine Block Group（1） The Cylinder BlockThe cylinder block is the basic part of the engine. It forms the main framework or foundation of

2、 the engine. Many parts of the engine are fixed to it. These items include water pump, oil pan, flywheel or clutch housing, ignition distributor, oil pump, fuel pump, and cylinder head.（2） The Cylinder HeadThe cylinder head is bolted to the cylinder block. The top of the cylinder block is covered wi

Exercises2Crankshaft Flywheel Group（1） CrankshaftThe crankshaft is the main rotating shaft of the engine. Designed into the one-piece crankshaft are areas for main bearing journals, cr

7、ankpins, counterweights, flywheel flange, and driving hub. The crankshaft and connecting rod convert the reciprocating motion of the piston to the rotary motion of crankshaft. Crankshafts have drilled oil passages, through which oil can flow from the main bearings to the connecting-rod bearings.（2）

8、FlywheelThe flywheel is a comparatively heavy wheel, bolted to the flywheel flange on the rear end of the crankshaft. The inertia of the flywheel tends to keep it rotating at a constant speed. The flywheel also has several other functions, for example, the flywheel has ring gear in its outer circumf

In addition, the rear surface of the flywheel serves as the driving member of the clutch assembly （Fig.2-2）.I. Pre-questionsWhats the crankshaft assembly composed of? crankshaftBearing轴承轴承timin

The small end of connecting rod connects with the piston pin and the big end connects with the crank pin of the crankshaft.（2） The PistonThe engine manufactur

11、er fits a piston into each cylinder of the engine. The piston receives the pressure from the burning air-fuel mixture and converts this pressure into up-and-down reciprocating motion. Because aluminum is half weight less than iron, most of pistons are made from aluminum alloy.（3） Piston RingsThe pis

12、ton ring is a springy split metal ring. It is used to provide the necessary seal to eliminate blowby and to control oil consumption. Engine pistons have two kinds of rings：gas rings and oil rings. The pistonPiston toppiston ringpiston pinconnecting rodTwo. The Valve TrainThe valve train is a series

13、of parts used to open and close the intake and exhaust valves. Meshing the timing gears or installing the timing chains onto the sprockets at a specific place will ensure the valves to open and close at the proper moment in the engines cycle. It consists of camshaft, tappet, pushrod, rocker arm, val

14、ve spring, valve and so on （Fig.2-4）.1Camshaft The camshaft is another rotating shaft within the engine, its driven by the engines crankshaft through the timing gears. The camshaft has a series of cams that can change rotary motion to straight-line motion which cause the intake valves and exhaust va

15、lves to open. It rotates at the half speed of the crankshaft. 2Tappet, Pushrods and Rocker ArmsTappet rests on a cam of the camshaft. The pushrod is a metal rod that fits between the tappet and the rocker arm. Its function is to transmit cam lobe lift to the rocker arm assembly. The rocker arm is no

16、thing more than a lever. Its function is to convert the up wardmotion of a pushrod into downward motion that compresses the spring and opens the valve.3Valves and Valve SpringsModern engines have cylinder heads that contain valves. Each cylinder requires at least two valves：an intake valve and an ex

17、haust valve. The valves are compressed and closed by valve springs. As the valve is opened by the camshaft, it compresses the valve spring.valves rocks push rods tappets camshaft Words Phrases（单词和短语）（单词和短语）I.
