This oil separating structure comprises the filter 4 for separating the oil and is so formed that the blow-by gas is passed therethrough from the upper side to the lower side. In other words, the oil separating structure is so formed that the blow-by gas led into the filter 4 leaves the lower surface of the filter 4 and the direction of the blow-by gas passed from the lower surface roughly matches the direction of the gravity. The oil separating structure is so formed that the blow-by gas leaving the lower surface of the filter 4 is returned to the suction side, and the oil captured by the filter 4 is dripped from the lower surface of the filter 4 and then returned to the crankcase.

Description

Oil separating structure and internal-combustion engine
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for isolating the oil separating structure of mist of oil, also relate to internal-combustion engine with this oil separating structure from the piston ring gas leakage that motor produces.
Background technique
After motor starts, have unburned gas (piston ring gas leakage usually; BBG) from the gap of cylinder block and piston or piston ring etc. make micro-ly and be leaked in the crankcase.After discharge on this piston ring gas leakage former state ground, can strengthen the load of environment, also, it can cause engine interior to corrode and oily deterioration in motor because being stranded in, for this reason, the system (Positive Crank-case Ventilation (PCV) system) that has proposed to make the piston ring gas leakage return inlet manifold in the past and burn.
In said structure, the piston ring gas leakage is generally delivered to inlet manifold from crankcase through PCV path etc.But, from the piston ring gas leakage that crankcase is supplied with, contain many elaioleucites (mist of oil) owing to have many oil droplets to disperse in the inside of crankcase (crankshaft room).The piston ring gas leakage former state of this state deliver in the inlet manifold after, can strengthen oil consumption, simultaneously the oil HC that can increase after the recirculation in air-breathing in the waste gas measures.In addition, when the mist of oil in this piston ring gas leakage (or the particle in the products of combustion of oil) is attached on the valve system etc., will has sediments and pile up.
Therefore, the segregating unit that contained mist of oil is separated before delivering to suction side in the piston ring gas leakage has been proposed in Patent Document 1.In Patent Document 1, for there being the space in the round-ended cylinder shape casing radially divided, be provided with fibrous sorbing material cylindraceous, the piston ring gas leakage that gas inflow entrance above casing imports sorbing material inside radially passes sorbing material laterally from the inboard, the relief opening of slave shell-side face is discharged.At this moment, mist of oil is adsorbed material absorption, and the oil that is oozed out by sorbing material just returns in the crankcase from the oil drain out of inferior surface of machine case.
[Patent Document 1] spy open the 2002-242645 communique (segment number 0011,0012, Fig. 1)
But in the structure of above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the mist of oil that is captured by fibrous sorbing material easily drops because of its deadweight and lodges in downside.In other words, because oil is partial to below one side of sorbing material, the piston ring gas leakage is the sorbing material upside by the little part of resistance only just.As a result, in oil mist trapping, just can not effectively utilize the whole zone of sorbing material, the capture performance of mist of oil is reduced, increase pressure loss.
In addition, because the oil in the fibrous sorbing material is partial to, mesh is stopped up.For this problem, disclose the replaceable structure that comprises the filtrating equipment of sorbing material in the Patent Document 1, but, need change filter repeatedly because above-mentioned mesh obstruction takes place easily, increased the man-hour of maintenance.
Moreover the structure of above-mentioned Patent Document 1 easily increases volume because being shaped as of filter is cylindric, is difficult to compactness.
Summary of the invention
The problem that quasi-solution of the present invention is determined the following describes the device and the effect thereof of head it off as above-mentioned.
According to first viewpoint of the present invention, a kind of oil separating structure of piston ring gas leakage is provided, have the filter element that is used for separating oil, piston ring gas leakage from top to down is by this filter element.
According to said structure, because piston ring gas leakage from top to down is passed through in filter element, oil that capture, in filter element borrows deadweight to fall down from the piston ring gas leakage, can oil be forced into downside by flowing of piston ring gas leakage simultaneously.So the oil-break of filter element is extremely good, reduces even eliminated maintenance man hours (need not maintain).In addition, owing to be to make the structure of piston ring gas leakage from top to down by filter element, so for example can be simply rectangular-shaped the shape of filter element formation, and easily make the oil separating structure compactness.
In the oil separating structure of above-mentioned piston ring gas leakage, preferably above-mentioned filter element constitutes the consistent basically shape of thickness of above-below direction.
Like this, but just homogenization of the resistance of piston ring gas leakage when the filter element can allow the whole zone of piston ring gas leakage by filter element.So pressure loss can be not excessive, can reduce the mesh obstruction and can stably capture mist of oil.
According to second viewpoint of the present invention, a kind of oil separating structure of piston ring gas leakage is provided, the mixed gas that importing is used for the filter element inside of separating oil passes from the lower surface of this filter element, and the direction of passing from this lower surface and the direction basically identical of gravity.
Like this, from the piston ring gas leakage, trap and store and to be forced into downside by flowing of piston ring gas leakage from this lower surface in the oil in filter element of lower face side and to discharge.So filter element can have very good oil-break, maintenance man hours is reduced or be zero (need not maintain).
In the oil separating structure of above-mentioned piston ring gas leakage, preferably take off and state structure, promptly constitute the piston ring gas leakage and pass from the lower surface of above-mentioned filter element and turn back to suction side.The oil that is captured by above-mentioned filter element is the oil droplet shape from the lower surface of this filter element, then the return engine crankcase.
According to said structure,, in the piston ring gas leakage of having removed mist of oil by filter element, do not have this oil and sneak into, so can avoid the piston ring gas leakage that oil is taken out of again because the oil that passes from filter element becomes big oil droplet whereabouts.In addition, can be also used as the path of oil and the path of piston ring gas leakage to the following side space of filter element, owing to need not separate the special structure of these two paths, so can realize succinct, compact oil separating structure.
In the oil separating structure of above-mentioned piston ring gas leakage, preferably can be used for gas-fired heat pump with motor.
Specifically, above-mentioned oil separating structure has reduced filter element owing to oil-break is functional mesh stops up, and even and since the frequency of maintenance few be zero (need not maintain), but be particularly suitable for imagining the gas-fired heat pump of long time continuous working with in the motor.
According to the 3rd viewpoint of the present invention, a kind of interior combustion gas is provided, have above-mentioned oil separating structure, above-mentioned filter element is built in the body of the internal-combustion engine simultaneously.
Can realize the motor of the compactness that conditioning is little, deposition problems is also few thus.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the mode sectional drawing of the oil separating structure of an embodiment of the present invention.
Embodiment
Below, with reference to Fig. 1 embodiments of the present invention are described.Fig. 1 is the mode sectional drawing of the oil separating structure of an embodiment of the present invention.
This oil separating structure 1 has case 2, and its upper surface is provided with gas access 3.Import within the case 2 via bright pipe arrangement not shown in the figures from this gas access 3 from the piston ring gas leakage in the crankshaft room of the motor of engine-driving heat pump system.
For making separating up and down of space in the case 2, be supported within the case 2 by filter 4 as filter element.Filter 4 is that the filtering material of the predetermined thickness (several millimeters~tens of millimeters) that is made of nonwovens is longitudinally stacked, constitutes roughly rectangular-shaped.Filter 4 size in the horizontal direction is bigger slightly than the inner space of case 2, filter 4 can be embedded within the case 2, makes thus to fit tightly between the inwall of the edge of filter 4 and case 2 and seal, and does not allow the piston ring gas leakage by between filter and the inwall.
The lower surface of above-mentioned case 2 is provided with oil drain out 5, and the oil that is separated by above-mentioned filter 4 is just from the crankcase of these oil drain out 5 return engines.
Below above-mentioned filter 4, be provided with relief opening 6 in the side of case 2, be transported to the suction side of motor from the piston ring gas leakage of these relief opening 6 discharges.
Under said structure, the piston ring gas leakage that is mixed with mist of oil 3 imports within the casees 2 from the gas access via not shown pipe arrangement from crankcase shown in the arrow of band hachure among Fig. 1, enters inside by the upper surface of filter 4.Then, along with piston ring gas leakage from top to down in filter 4 flows, wherein contained mist of oil is just captured by filter 4.The piston ring gas leakage of having removed mist of oil passes from the lower surface of filter 4 shown in hollow arrow, turns back to the suction side of motor via relief opening 6.
On the other hand, the mist of oil that filter 4 captures is then borrowed and is descended from the inside that overweights filter 4, and the piston ring gas leakage in the filter 4 mobile helps this decline.So oil declines of just (can saying so forcibly) smoothly along the inside of filter 4, and easy lower surface from filter 4 passes.Oil forms oil droplet from the lower surface of filter 4 drippage, returns in the crankcase via not shown pipe arrangement from oil drain out 5 after falling the bottom surface of case 2.
As implied above, the oil separating structure of present embodiment has the filter 4 that is used for separating oil, and piston ring gas leakage from top to down in this filter 4 passes through.
Therefore, though the oil that captures by piston ring gas leakage importing filter 4 moves down this mobile top-down mobile support of piston ring gas leakage that then is subjected in the filter 4 because of deadweight.Therefore,, can oil effectively be discharged, can make filter 4 oil-break well from filter 4 because the piston ring gas leakage is forced into the below with oil.
In the oil separating structure of present embodiment, the piston ring gas leakage that imports filter 4 passes from the lower surface of filter 4, and the piston ring gas leakage direction of passing from the lower surface of filter 4 and the direction basically identical of gravity.
Therefore, import the oil that filter 4 traps by the piston ring gas leakage, passed and (top-down flowing) pushing of flowing that forms from the lower surface of filter 4 by the piston ring gas leakage, combine with the deadweight of oil itself and easily discharge from the lower surface of filter 4.The result can discharge oil from filter 4 energetically, and filter 4 oil-break well.
In the oil separating structure of present embodiment, the piston ring gas leakage that passes from the lower surface of filter 4 turns back to suction side from relief opening 6, on the other hand, the oil that is captured by filter 4 then is the oil droplet shape from the lower surface of this filter 4, returns crankcase from oil drain out 5 then.
Under said structure, the oil that passes from filter 4 becomes that significantly the lower surface from filter 4 falls greater than the oil droplet of mist of oil grain.So the flow of piston ring gas leakage is so long as not greatly, this oil has been removed in the piston ring gas leakage of mist of oil with regard to not sneaking into by filter 4.The result can prevent that oil from sneaking into from the piston ring gas leakage that relief opening 6 is discharged (in other words, can avoid piston ring gas leakage entrained oil again).In addition and since can with the space of filter element below as the part of oily path and as the part of piston ring gas leakage path the two, thereby can simplify oil separating structure 1, also easily make its compactness.
Have, in the oil separating structure of present embodiment, filter 4 constitutes the shape of the thickness basically identical of its above-below direction again.Like this, because the piston ring gas leakage passes through the resistance homogenization of filter 4, thereby this piston ring gas leakage just can flow through the whole zone of filter 4 equably.So pressure loss can be not excessive, even and if in the working long hours of motor, can reduce mesh yet and stop up, stably capture mist of oil.
Above although understand embodiments of the present invention, but can do following change to above-mentioned mode of execution.
(1) though the present embodiment illustration be used for gas-fired heat pump with the oil separating structure of motor, oil separating structure of the present invention is not limited to gas-fired heat pump with the situation in the motor.Be oil separating structure of the present invention because oil-break is good, the mesh of filter stops up few, and the maintenance frequency is few or need not maintain, and does in the motor that gas-fired heat pump that long-time continuous turns round uses so be specially adapted to set.
(2) present embodiment is the oil separating structure as outer attached type as shown in Figure 1, but obviously also above-mentioned wave filter 4 can be built in the engine main body, and as the oil separating structure of engine embedded type.As concrete structure, for example can constitute, filter 4 is located within the skull, connect the interior space of crankcase and the inner space (superjacent air space of filter 4) of skull, piston ring gas leakage by filter 4 is imported suction side, also can consider in addition to make to drop to oil in the rocker arm chamber from filter 4 and turn back to structure in the crankcase.Can realize the space-efficient compact structure in this case.Have again, can form filter 4 with the shape (for example rectangular-shaped) of simple compactness among the present invention, thereby easily oil separating structure is located in the motor.
When adopting this engine embedded type, also (for example the spy opens shown in the flat 7-269326 communique with regard to not needing the sort of structure that is used to solve the problem that produces when oil separating structure is arranged at external engine, condensed water takes place when preventing cold and heater is set, or open shown in the 2002-266621 communique as the spy, for the tightness of the casing that improves oil separating structure and adopt integrally formed resin casing).In addition, in internally-arranged type, the maintenance of filter 4 acquires a certain degree of difficulty, but in the present invention, as mentioned above, the replacing frequency of filter 4 is few, so do not have this class problem.
(3) gas access 3 is not limited to be located at the upper surface of case 2, so long as at the upside of filter 4, also can be located at the side of case 2.Equally, also can adopt the structure of oil drain out 5 not being located at case 2 bottom surfaces and being located at the bottom, side.
