Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for driving two oil pumps arranged on a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1, which is based on DE-A-26 20 480.
  • a lubricating oil supply for an internal combustion engine which has a main oil pump for supplying a main lubricating oil circuit and a second oil pump for a secondary lubricating oil circuit of auxiliary machines.
  • EP-PS 163 046 describes a hydraulic device for adjusting the angle of two camshafts, in which an oil pump supplies the hydraulic pressure for the cam rotation device and at the same time supplies the bearings of the camshaft with lubricating oil.
  • the characteristic feature of claim 1 serves to solve this problem. Since two separate drives are used to drive the two oil pumps from the crankshaft and to separate the functions, one oil pump for supplying lubricating oil, the other oil pump is used exclusively for building up the hydraulic pressure on the camshaft twisting device both oil pumps are optimally designed with regard to delivery volume and delivery pressure. While the main oil pump for supplying lubricating oil supplies relatively large amounts of oil with low pressure, the second oil pump is designed in such a way that it delivers a small amount of delivery with significantly higher pressure.
  • a space-saving design is realized in that the drives of both pumps and a camshaft drive emanating from the crankshaft are located between the flywheel and the crankshaft end bearing, so that none in the axial direction of the internal combustion engine for the drives of the oil pumps additional space is required. If the main oil pump is below the crankshaft, the second oil pump and its drive together with the camshaft drive are above the crankshaft, this space is fully used.
  • Another space advantage can be achieved in that the second oil pump is integrated in an idler gear of the camshaft drive and is driven by it lying coaxially to the idler gear.
  • a flywheel 3 On a crankshaft 2 of an 8-cylinder V-engine mounted in a crankcase 1, a flywheel 3 is screwed to the output-side end face with several screws 4.
  • a camshaft drive emanating from the crankshaft 2 is arranged between the flywheel 3 and the final bearing 5. It consists of a gear 7 of an idler gear 8 meshing with a crankshaft gear 6 and two chain drives driven by the idler gear 8 to the four camshafts 11, 12, 13, 14 assigned to the two cylinder rows 9, 10, each of which has a double sprocket 11 ', 12 ', 13', 14 'wear.
  • the double sprockets 11 ', 12' are driven by a double sprocket 16 with a double roller chain 15
  • the double sprockets 13 ', 14' are driven by a double sprocket 18 with a double roller chain 17.
  • the double sprockets 16, 18 are formed in one piece and attached to the hub sleeve 19 of the gear 7.
  • an oil pump 20 which supplies hydraulic turning devices 21, 22 on the camshafts 11, 13 with hydraulic pressure.
  • the rotational position between the camshafts 11, 13 and the chain wheels 11 ', 13' assigned to them is changed with the twisting devices.
  • a pump wheel 24 is fastened on a hollow hub 23 of the gear wheel 7.
  • the oil pump 20 is covered by a pump cover 25 which, together with a cover disk 26 screwed to it, forms the pump housing.
  • a bearing sleeve 27 is fastened in the pump cover 15, on which the intermediate wheel 8 is mounted and through which the oil supply to the oil pump 20 takes place.
  • crankshaft 2 to idler gear 8 has a ratio of 1: 2, but the sprocket ratio from idler gear 8 to camshafts 11, 12, 13, 14 is 1: 1, camshafts 11, 12, 13, 14 also run half crankshaft speed around.
  • the main oil pump 30 is driven by the crankshaft 2 with a chain drive 31. It sucks in lubricating oil from the oil pan 32 and pumps it with a pressure of approx. 3 bar to the bearing points of the internal combustion engine to be lubricated. A partial flow of this oil passes through the central bore of the bearing sleeve 27 to the oil pump 20, which increases the oil pressure to approximately 8 bar and gives it to the hydraulic camshaft twisting devices 21. Since this hydraulic pressure is very high, the camshaft rotating devices 21 can be made small-volume in the desired manner.
  • the chain drive 31 is formed by a chain wheel 33 fastened to the crankshaft 2, a chain 34 and a chain wheel 35 fastened to the main oil pump 30.
  • the chain wheel 33 is composed of two half-shells which were formed by radial blasting of a cylindrical chain wheel hub. In a groove 36 of the crankshaft 2, the two half-shells of the chain wheel 33 are joined together again at their break point and held axially.
  • a tension ring 37 mounted on the chain wheel 35 holds the two half shells together radially.
  • the sprocket 33 is locked in the circumferential direction with a fitting sleeve 38 which is fixed in the crankshaft 2 and which was pushed through during assembly through an aligned bore 39 of the flywheel.
  • the ring gear 40 of the chain wheel 33 and thus the entire chain drive 31 is located centrally between the two double chain wheels 16, 18 of the camshaft drive.
  • crankshaft gear 6 is pushed for assembly over the smoothly turned outer surface 41 of the crankshaft 2 until it rests on the clamping ring 37. At this seat it is shrunk onto the crankshaft 2.
