Definitions
- the invention relates to a soundproof sheet oil pan for internal combustion engines according to the generic term.
- a source of sound emission is a mostly insufficiently soundproofed oil pan.
- To improve the structure-borne sound insulation it is known to design the oil pan in two or more layers, or to reduce the sound emission of this oil pan by using plastic as the material for the oil pan. In order to prevent sound bridges between the crankcase and the oil pan, it is known to insert elastomers between the two parts.
- the invention has for its object to reduce the structure-borne noise from oil pans significantly and with reasonable effort.
- the structure-borne noise is noticeably reduced by the over-tub with reasonable effort.
- Motors with oil sumps with reduced structure-borne noise insulation can be retrofitted in a relatively simple and inexpensive manner.
- the overpan can be designed in two or more layers in sheet steel.
- the overpan can be constructed in multi-layer steel sheet or also in one layer in plastic.
- Multi-layer steel sheet provides high noise insulation and is also inexpensive.
- the plastic version provides good sound insulation through internal damping of the material even in one layer.
- Figure 1 shows an oil pan 1, which closes a crankcase 2 at the bottom.
- the oil pan 1 is fastened to a circumferential flange 4 of the crankcase 2 by means of screws 3.
- a seal 1a (not shown in detail) (FIG. 2) between the oil pan 1 and crankcase 2 over the entire circumference with the same Surface pressure is pressed against the flange 4 to guarantee oil tightness.
- the oil pan 1 is approximately equidistantly surrounded by an overpan 7, which can be made either in plastic or in sheet steel in deep-drawing quality. Dag sheet steel can be designed in one or two or more layers depending on the requirements for sound insulation.
- the overpan 7 is connected at all points of contact with the oil pan 1 or the crankcase 2 by structure-borne noise decoupled by elastomeric elements.
- an L-shaped profile 8 is provided on the upper edge of the overpan 7, in which an upwardly open first elastomeric element 9 is inserted.
- the overpan 7 is compared to a flywheel housing 10 as one Part of the crankcase 2 sealed against sound leakage via a second elastomeric element 11.
- the second elastomeric element 11 is open on one side and is pushed over the edge of the overpan 7 and pressed against the flywheel housing 10.
- the oil pan 1 has a drain plug 12 at its lowest point.
- the drain plug 12 or its threaded part 13 is sealed against the over-tub 7 by means of a third elastomeric element 14 against sound leakage.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section II-II through the oil pan 1.
- the oil pan 1 is pressed against the flange 4 of the crankcase 2 by means of the screws 3 with the interposition of a seal 1a.
- the oil pan 1 is surrounded equidistantly by the overpan 7.
- the flange of the oil pan 1 is flanged on the outside.
- a leg 1b engages from above into the first elastomeric element 9, which is open at the top.
- Other elements of the oil pan 1, such as the drain plug 12, a nozzle 15 for the oil filler and sheet metal caps 16, which serve as a support for the engine, are sealed at the points of contact by further elastomeric elements to the upper pan 7 against sound leakage. Details of the design of these elastomeric connecting elements are shown in the following figures.
- FIG. 3 A connection of the oil pan 1 and the overpan 7 made of plastic is shown in FIG. 3.
- the overpan 7 has retaining lugs 17, the oil pan 1 has, under the screws 3 used for fastening the overpan 7, specially shaped underlays 18, and both parts are non-positively connected by spring wire clips 19.
- a seal against airborne noise and a decoupling from structure-borne noise is achieved by the first elastomeric element 9.
- FIG 4 the sound seal of the opening for the drain plug 12 is shown in detail.
- the drain plug 12 is screwed into a threaded part 13, which is oil-tight in the Oil pan 1 is inserted.
- the threaded part 13 is connected to the overpan 7 by the third elastomeric element 14, which is sealed against the threaded part 13 by an annular sealing lip 20 to prevent airborne noise from escaping.
- the sealing against the overpan 7 takes place by means of an annular groove 21, which sealingly encompasses a bore in the overpan 7.
- Figure 5 shows in detail the sound seal of the sheet metal cap 16, which is connected to the oil pan 1 by spot welding or the like.
- a fourth elastomeric element 22 is provided for sealing, which is almost identical in construction to the third elastomeric element 14, which is why it will not be explained in more detail.
- FIG 6 the sound seal of the nozzle 15 is shown, which is used for oil filling.
- the nozzle 15 is sealed at its upper end with a fifth elastomeric element 23 against the overpan 7.
- This elastomeric element 23 is similar to the elastomeric elements 14 and 22.
- the connector 15 is screwed into the oil pan 1 in the soldered-in threaded insert 24 in an oil-tight manner.
- the connection piece for the oil measuring tube in the oil pan and its soundproofing are also fixed analogously to the overpan 7.
- FIG. 8 A detail of the profile bridge 6 according to a section VII-VII from FIG. 8 is shown in FIG. Since the upper edge of the oil pan 1 cannot be flanged in a U-shape in the area of the vibration damper 5, so that the leg 1b is omitted here, the profile bridge 6 is provided for evenly pressing the seal 1a (FIG. 2), which has the necessary bending rigidity to evenly distribute the contact pressure of the screws 3 as a line load over the face of the oil pan gasket.
- the seal 1a FIG. 2
- a U-shaped profile 25 is provided on the top thereof in order to receive the first elastomeric element 9.
- the profile bridge 6 has a nose 26 into which the first elastomeric element 9, which is open at the top, is inserted.
- FIG. 7 The area shown in section in FIG. 7 is shown in plan view in FIG.
- FIG. 9 shows in detail the sound seal of the overpan 7 with respect to the flywheel housing 10.
- the overpan 7 is open in the direction of the flywheel housing 10 and ends here in a web 7a. This is sealed against the flywheel housing 10 by the second elastomeric element 11.
- this second elastomeric element 11 is angled in the region of the oil pan flange and ends on the right and left side in the mirror-image-shaped two legs 29 which face the web sections 30 facing the oil pan flange of the crankcase 2 on the right and left sides the tub 7 are attached.
- the two legs 29 each have an extension resting on a support surface 31 (FIG.
- FIG. 11 shows the connection between the overpan 7 and the oil pan 1. Since the overpan 7 is made of sheet steel in the example shown, it is essential to provide acoustic decoupling.
- the connection is made by spring wire clips 19. These spring wire clips 19 are connected to at least one contact point (here with the oil pan 1) with the interposition of a sixth elastomeric element 32. The other end can be connected directly to a nose 33 which is connected to the overpan 7. Alternatively, the element 32 can also rest on a special screw support 18 according to FIG. 3.
- Figure 12 shows the same detail as shown in Figure 10, but related to a version in sheet steel.
