Abstract:
A connecting rod bearing for a crankpin of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine includes a pair of half bearings forming a cylindrical shape. Each half bearing has a main cylindrical portion including a circumferentially central portion of the half bearing, and crush reliefs formed on both circumferential sides of the main cylindrical portion with a wall thickness being smaller than that of the main cylindrical portion. At least one half bearing has an axial groove which extends in an axial direction on a slide surface of the main cylindrical portion, and is apart from the circumferentially central portion by a circumferential angle of 10° or more toward a forward side in a rotation direction of the crankpin, and apart from the crush relief by a circumferential angle of 10° or more toward the circumferentially central portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A connecting rod bearing for rotatably supporting a crankpin of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, the crankpin comprising a cylindrical barrel portion, a lubricating oil path extending through the cylindrical barrel portion, and at least one discharge opening of the lubricating oil path formed on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical barrel portion, wherein\n the connecting rod bearing comprises a pair of half bearings which are combined with each other to form a cylindrical shape, each of the half bearings has a main cylindrical portion including a circumferentially central portion of the half bearing, the main cylindrical portion comprises a slide surface on a radially inner side thereof, and each of the half bearings also comprises crush reliefs formed on both circumferential sides of the slide surface so that a wall thickness at the crush relief is smaller than that of the main cylindrical portion, wherein at least one of the pair of half bearings comprises an axial groove extending in an axial direction on the slide surface between the circumferentially central portion and the crush relief located on a forward side in a rotation direction of the crankpin, and the axial groove is apart from the circumferentially central portion by a circumferential angle of 10\u00b0 or more toward the forward side in the rotation direction, and apart from the crush relief located on the forward side in the rotation direction of the crankpin by a circumferential angle of 10\u00b0 or more.
