The present invention relates to mechanical engineering, more particularly to the construction of connecting rods and is intended for reciprocating engines and reciprocating compressors. The invention represents a construction comprising a small-end part (1), a stem (2), a big-end fork part (3), a big-end cap (5), and connecting elements (4). According to the invention, the grooves are made on the big-end fork part (3) and the big-end cap (5) with the possibility the connecting element arrangement to be made of flexible material. Steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy wire, fiberglass, carbon or boron fiber could be used as flexible material. The invention claimed enables to reduce the connecting rod weight and to reduce the big-end cap dimensions, to simplify the connecting rod construction which enables to reduce the internal engine crank case sizes and weight and also to simplify manufacturing techniques and reduce the amount of technological operations by connection rod manufacturing and accordingly to reduce the manufacturing cost. |
