CONNECTING ROD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F16C7/02 F02B75/32 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: connecting rod (200) for connection of a piston with a connecting rod bearing journal comprises an extended rod (225) of the connecting rod with opposite first and second axial ends, a small head (230), located on the first axial end of the connecting rod (235) and made as capable of connection with the piston, and a large head (210), comprising a body part (215) on the second axial end of the connecting rod and a cover part (205), made as capable of connection with the possibility of detachment with the body part (215). When the cover part (205) is connected with the body part (215), the cover part and the body part interact to form a bored hole of the connecting rod bearing journal and adjoin each other on the first and second distanced coupling units (235) and (240). The cover part (205) forms a hole near the first coupling unit adapted for placement of a threaded connector, which engages and presses the cover part (205) to the body part (215). The cover part (205) comprises a side section (280), stretching radially outside the largest radius from the centre of the bored hole of the connecting rod bearing journal to the first coupling unit. The side section (280) of the cover part stretches radially outside the body part near the first coupling unit.

EFFECT: version of connecting rod design is disclosed, as well as versions of engines using connecting rods, and the method for engine operation.
