A pressure control valve is proposed, especially for controlling the vacuum in the crankcase. This pressure control valve is arranged on an oil filler opening 33 and simultaneously assumes the function of a cover for the oil filler opening. In the oil filler opening a pipe 37 is provided, by way of which the crankcase gases can be led to the air feed of the internal combustion engine. The pressure control valve serves for setting a certain vacuum in the crankcase, is of compact construction and can easily be replaced or inspected. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ventilhaube für eine Brennkraftmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs. Diese Ventilhauben sind üblicherweise mit einer öleinfüllöffnung versehen, die mit einem Deckel abgeschlossen ist.The invention relates to a valve cover for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of the main claim. These valve covers are usually provided with an oil fill opening, which is closed with a lid.

Es ist allgemein bekannt, Druckregelventile zur Kurbelgehäuseentlüftung, beispielsweise in der Entlüftungsleitung zwischen Kurbelgehäuse und Ansaugluftfilter oder Motorsaugrohr anzuordnen. Aufgrund dieser Druckregelventile besteht eine geschlossene Verbindung zwischen dem Kurbelgehäuse und der Ansaugseite des Motors über die die sogenannten Durchblasgase abgesaugt und dem Verbrennungsprozess wieder zugeführt werden. Das Druckregelventil sorgt dafür, daß ein bestimmter Unterdruck im Kurbelgehäuse nicht unterschritten wird. Ein stets herrschender kleiner Unterdruck im Kurbelgehäuse verhindert das Austreten von Durchblasgase ins Freie. Durch die Regelung des Kurbelgehäusedrucks wird eine optimale Absicherung des geschlossenen Motorsystems gewährleistet, so daß keine Schadstoffe ins Freie gelangen können.It is generally known to arrange pressure regulating valves for crankcase ventilation, for example in the ventilation line between the crankcase and intake air filter or engine intake manifold. Because of these pressure control valves, there is a closed connection between the crankcase and the intake side of the engine, through which the blow-by gases are drawn off and fed back into the combustion process. The pressure control valve ensures that the vacuum in the crankcase does not fall below a certain level. A constantly prevailing low vacuum in the crankcase prevents blow-by gases from escaping outdoors. By regulating the crankcase pressure, an optimal protection of the closed engine system is guaranteed, so that no pollutants can get outside.

Ein solches Druckregelventil wird üblicherweise am Motor seitlich angeflanscht und mit entsprechenden Verbindungsleitungen an Kurbelgehäuse sowie Saugrohr oder Luftfilter angeschlossen. Derartige Ventile sind beispielsweise aus der Veröffentlichung der Firma FILTERWERK MANN + HUMMEL GMBH Nr. VKD 7032 bekannt. Das Druckregelventil ist überlicherweise mit einem Anschlußflansch oder einem Stahlbügel an dem Motorgehäuse befestigt.Such a pressure control valve is usually on the engine flanged on the side and connected to the crankcase, intake manifold or air filter using the appropriate connecting lines. Such valves are known for example from the publication of the company FILTERWERK MANN + HUMMEL GMBH No. VKD 7032. The pressure control valve is usually attached to the motor housing with a connecting flange or a steel bracket.

Zur optisch besseren Gestaltung des Motorraums ist es erforderlich, solche am Motor angeordneten Komponenten entsprechend zu gestalten und beispielsweise mit Abdeckungen oder ähnlichem zu versehen. Dies bedingt jedoch einen höhen Aufwand und damit Mehrkosten.For an optically better design of the engine compartment, it is necessary to design such components arranged on the engine accordingly and to provide them with covers or the like, for example. However, this requires a lot of effort and thus additional costs.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, die genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine Ventilhaube zu schaffen, die zur besseren Gestaltung des Motors beiträgt und außerdem konstruktiv einfach ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of avoiding the disadvantages mentioned and of creating a valve cover which contributes to the better design of the engine and is also structurally simple.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs durch dessen kennzeichnenden Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved on the basis of the preamble of the main claim by its characterizing features.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der Lösung gemäß Anspruch 1 ist darin zu sehen, daß nunmehr das Druckregelventil in den Deckel des öleinfüllstutzens integriert wird und damit zusätzlich die Funktion des Deckels übernimmt.The main advantage of the solution according to claim 1 is the fact that the pressure control valve is now integrated in the cover of the oil filler neck and thus also takes over the function of the cover.

Dies hat den Vorteil, daß eine schnelle überprüfung des Druckregelventils und ein eventuell erforderlicher Austausch in einfacher weise ermöglicht wird. Außerdem entfällt die zusätzliche Schlauchverbindung, die bisher vom Motor zu dem Druckregelventil erforderlich war, da das Druckregelventil nunmehr unmittelbar am Motor die Durchblasgase aufnimmt. Ferner stellt die Integration des Ventils in den Deckel eine gute Lösung des gestalterischen Problems dar.This has the advantage that a quick check of the pressure control valve and a possible replacement is made possible in a simple manner. In addition, the additional hose connection that was previously required from the engine to the pressure control valve is eliminated, since the pressure control valve now absorbs the blow-by gases directly on the engine. Furthermore, the integration of the valve in the cover is a good solution to the design problem.

Es ist zwar aus der DE 40 17 074 ein Druckregelventil bekannt, das in einer kombinatorischen Einheit mit öleinfüllstutzen und ölpeilstab angeordnet ist. Dieses Druckregelventil ist jedoch immer noch mit dem Saugrohr bzw. der Luftzuführung des Motors verbunden. Ein Austausch oder eine überprüfung läßt sich deshalb nicht ohne weiteres vornehmen.A pressure control valve is known from DE 40 17 074, which is arranged in a combinatorial unit with an oil filler neck and an oil dipstick. However, this pressure control valve is still connected to the intake manifold or the air supply to the engine. An exchange or a check cannot therefore be carried out easily.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Anschluß zur Weiterleitung der Kurbelgehäusegase koaxial im öleinfüllstutzen angeordnet. Über diesen Anschluß wird der Deckel, welcher das Druckregelventil aufnimmt beispielsweise mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses aufgesteckt und stellt damit die Verbindung für das Kurbelgehäusegas her.According to a development of the invention, the connection for forwarding the crankcase gases is arranged coaxially in the oil filler neck. The cover, which receives the pressure regulating valve, is attached via this connection, for example by means of a bayonet lock, and thus establishes the connection for the crankcase gas.

Eine alternative weiterbildung wird gemäß eine Unteranspruch dadurch erzielt, daß der Anschluß zum Weiterleiten der Kurbelgehäusegase im öleinfüllstutzen eine Ringöffnung aufweist. Das Druckregelventil ist in diesem Fall mit einem rohrförmigen Ansatz versehen, welcher im Bereich der Ringöffnung Bohrungen aufweist, die bei geschlossenem Deckel die Verbindung für die Kurbelgehäusegase herstellen.An alternative further development is achieved according to a subclaim in that the connection for forwarding the crankcase gases in the oil filler neck has an annular opening. In this case, the pressure regulating valve is provided with a tubular extension which has bores in the area of the ring opening which, when the cover is closed, produce the connection for the crankcase gases.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, den im öleinfüllstutzen vorgesehenen Anschluß bzw. den rohrförmigen Ansatz des Druckregelventils an seiner Stirnkante als Ventilsitz auszubilden. Dem Ventilsitz gegenüberliegend ist ein Membranventilkörper angeordnet, welcher in Abhängigkeit von den Druckverhältnissen ein Verschließen oder öffnen des Ventils bewirkt.A further embodiment of the invention provides that the connection provided in the oil filler neck or the tubular extension of the pressure control valve on its front edge is designed as a valve seat. A diaphragm valve body is arranged opposite the valve seat and, depending on the pressure conditions, causes the valve to close or open.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist besonders dort vorteilhaft, wo die Durchblasgase direkt in das Saugrohr des Motors geleitet werden müssen. Bekanntlich liegt im Saugrohr bei Leerlauf und Schubbetrieb ein sehr hoher Unterdruck an. Dieser hohe Unterdruck würde ein öffnen des Ventils verhindern. Dadurch könnte ein Ansteigen des Drucks im Kurbelgehäuse verursacht werden.A further development of the invention is particularly advantageous where the blow-by gases have to be passed directly into the intake manifold of the engine. As is known, there is a very high negative pressure in the intake manifold when idling and coasting. This high vacuum would prevent the valve from opening. This could increase the pressure in the crankcase caused.

Gemäß der Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird ein zweifach wirkendes Ventil angewendet, das beispielsweise in der DE-OS 40 22 129 beschrieben ist. Dieses Ventil hat den Vorteil, daß zwei Ventilsysteme für unterschiedliche Druckverhältnisse in einem Gehäuse vereint sind, wobei für beide Ventilsysteme nur eine einzige Membran erforderlich ist. Trotzdem wird ein einfacher, montagefreundlicher Aufbau des gesamten Druckregelventils erzielt wird.According to the development of the invention, a double-acting valve is used, which is described for example in DE-OS 40 22 129. This valve has the advantage that two valve systems for different pressure conditions are combined in one housing, only one membrane being required for both valve systems. Nevertheless, a simple, assembly-friendly construction of the entire pressure control valve is achieved.

Die Teile des Druckregelventils sind beispielsweise aus Kunststoffspritzguß hergestellt. Damit ist es möglich, solche Ventile kostengünstig und in großen Stückzahlen zu fertigen. Lediglich der Membranventilkörper ist aus einem Gummiwerkstoff gefertigt.The parts of the pressure control valve are made, for example, from plastic injection molding. This makes it possible to manufacture such valves inexpensively and in large quantities. Only the diaphragm valve body is made of a rubber material.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments. It shows:
Fig. 1
a pressure control valve on the oil filler neck of an engine

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine öleinfüllöffnung 33, an dem das Gehäuse 34 des Druckregelventils 35 über einen Bajonettverschluß 36 angeordnet ist. An der öleinfüllöffnung 33 führt ein abgeknicktes Rohr 37 nach außen. An dessen öffnung kann ein Schlauch befestigt werden, der mit der Luftzuführung der Brennkraftmaschine, also dem Saugrohr oder dem Luftfiltergehäuse, verbunden ist. Das Druckregelventil 35 besteht aus einem Deckelteil 38, einem Unterteil 39, einem O-Ring 40 und einem Membranventilkörper 41. Der Membranventilkörper wird durch eine Feder 42 in einer Offenstellung gehalten. In diesem Betriebszustand können die Durchblasgase, welche in Richtung des Pfeils 43 in das Druckregelventil 35 einströmen, ungehindert in das Rohr 37 und von dort in die Luftzuführung gelangen. Der Membranventilkörper 41 ist zwischen Deckel und Unterteil eingespannt und schließt eine obere Ventilkammer 44 ab. Diese obere Ventilkammer ist jedoch über eine Bohrung 45 nach außen geöffnet, so daß in dieser Ventilkammer der Umgebungsdruck herrscht. Die Bohrung 45 ist zweckmäßigerweise mittels eines kleinen Filterblättchens 46 abgedeckt. Sobald der Unterdruck in dem Rohr 37 ansteigt, bewegt sich der Membranventilkörper 41 entgegen der Federkraft auf den Ventilsitz 47 des Rohrs 37 zu und reduziert damit die Menge des durchströmenden Gases. Die Feder 42 und die Ventilflächen sind so bemessen, daß im Kurbelgehäuse ständig ein geringer Unterdruck herrscht. Der O-Ring 40 sorgt für eine wirksame Abdichtung der öleinfüllöffnung. Das Unterteil 39 des Druckregelventils weist eine Bohrung 48 auf. Diese Bohrung ist geringfügig größer als der nach oben gerichtete Teil des Rohrs 37.Fig. 1 shows schematically an oil fill opening 33, on which the housing 34 of the pressure control valve 35 is arranged via a bayonet lock 36. At the oil fill opening 33, a bent pipe 37 leads to the outside. A hose can be attached to its opening, which is connected to the air supply of the internal combustion engine, that is to say the intake manifold or the air filter housing. The pressure control valve 35 consists of a cover part 38, a lower part 39, an O-ring 40 and a diaphragm valve body 41 The diaphragm valve body is held in an open position by a spring 42. In this operating state, the blow-by gases, which flow into the pressure control valve 35 in the direction of arrow 43, can pass freely into the pipe 37 and from there into the air supply. The diaphragm valve body 41 is clamped between the cover and the lower part and closes an upper valve chamber 44. However, this upper valve chamber is open to the outside via a bore 45, so that the ambient pressure prevails in this valve chamber. The bore 45 is expediently covered by a small filter sheet 46. As soon as the negative pressure in the tube 37 increases, the diaphragm valve body 41 moves against the spring force towards the valve seat 47 of the tube 37 and thus reduces the amount of gas flowing through. The spring 42 and the valve surfaces are dimensioned so that there is always a slight negative pressure in the crankcase. The O-ring 40 provides an effective seal for the oil fill opening. The lower part 39 of the pressure control valve has a bore 48. This bore is slightly larger than the upward part of the tube 37.

Zum Nachfüllen von Motoröl wird das Druckregelventil 35 abgenommen. Sofern geringe Mengen von Motoröl auch in das Rohr 37 gelangen, fliesen diese über eine Bohrung 49 nach unten ab.The pressure control valve 35 is removed for refilling engine oil. If small amounts of motor oil also get into the pipe 37, they flow down through a bore 49.

Eine Variante gemäß Fig. 2 ist bezüglich des Druckregelventils in gleicher Weise wie in Fig. 1 aufgebaut. Lediglich das Rohr, welches mit der Luftzuführung der Brennkraftmaschine verbunden wird, ist hier zweigeteilt. Das in Fig. 2 dargestellte Rohr 50 weist in seinem Inneren eine Ringöffnung 51 auf. Das Druckregelventil 35 ist mit einem rohrförmigen Ansatz 52 ausgestattet. Dieser ist an seinem unteren Ende verschlossen und hat seitliche Austrittsbohrungen oder Austrittsöffnungen 53, 54. Wird das Druckregelventil 35 auf die öleinfüllöffnung 33 aufgesetzt, so greift der rohrförmige Ansatz 53 in das Rohr 50 ein und stellt damit eine Verbindung für die Durchblasgase her. Zur Abdichtung der beiden Elemente sind O-Ringe 55, 56 vorgesehen.A variant according to FIG. 2 is constructed with respect to the pressure control valve in the same way as in FIG. 1. Only the pipe, which is connected to the air supply to the internal combustion engine, is divided into two here. The tube 50 shown in FIG. 2 has an annular opening 51 in its interior. The pressure control valve 35 is equipped with a tubular extension 52. This is closed at its lower end and has lateral outlet bores or outlet openings 53, 54. If the pressure control valve 35 is placed on the oil filler opening 33, the tubular extension 53 engages in the tube 50 and thus establishes a connection for the blow-by gases forth. O-rings 55, 56 are provided to seal the two elements.

Ein Druckregelventil, welches geeignet ist, auch hohe Saugrohrunterdrücke auszugleichen, zeigt Fig. 3. Dieses besteht aus einem Ventilgehäuse 11, welches eine Zuflußöffnung aufweist. Diese Zuflußöffnung liegt innerhalb der öleinfüllöffnung 33.FIG. 3 shows a pressure control valve which is suitable for compensating even high intake manifold negative pressure. This consists of a valve housing 11 which has an inflow opening. This inflow opening lies within the oil fill opening 33.

Das Ventilgehäuse 11 ist nach oben offen und enthält an seiner oberen öffnung eine Ringnut 15. Auf dieser öffnung des Ventilgehäuses 11 wird ein Gehäusedeckel 13 befestigt, wobei zwischen Gehäusedeckel 13 und Ventilgehäuse 11 eine Membran 14 eingelegt ist. Die Membranfläche dieser Membran ist in ihrem mittleren Teil verdickt und weist in diesem Bereich eine ventilplattenförmige Fläche 22 auf, welche dem Ventilgehäuse zugewandt ist.The valve housing 11 is open at the top and contains an annular groove 15 at its upper opening. A housing cover 13 is fastened to this opening of the valve housing 11, a membrane 14 being inserted between the housing cover 13 and the valve housing 11. The membrane surface of this membrane is thickened in its central part and has in this area a valve plate-shaped surface 22 which faces the valve housing.

Zwischen Membran 14 und Gehäusedeckel 13 wird eine erste Ventilkammer 29 gebildet, welche über eine Belüftungsbohrung 16 mit dem atmosphärischen Außendruck in Verbindung steht. Das Ventilgehäuse 11 ist über einem Abflußstutzen 12 angeordnet. Dieser Abflußstutzen 12 ist mit einem Ringwulst 30 zum Anschluß eines Schlauchs versehen.A first valve chamber 29 is formed between the membrane 14 and the housing cover 13 and is connected to the atmospheric external pressure via a ventilation hole 16. The valve housing 11 is arranged above a drain pipe 12. This drain connector 12 is provided with an annular bead 30 for connecting a hose.

Der mittlere Bereich der Membran 14 wird durch einen Stutzkörper 27 abgestützt bzw. schützt die Membran vor den dort auf die Membran einwirkenden Teilen. An diesen Stützkörper 27 ist ein hohlzylindrisches Teil 26 angelegt. Dieses kann sowohl starr mit dem Stützkörper verbunden sein, als auch als ein einzelnes Element ausgestaltet sein.The central region of the membrane 14 is supported by a support body 27 or protects the membrane from the parts acting there on the membrane. A hollow cylindrical part 26 is placed on this support body 27. This can be rigidly connected to the support body, or it can be designed as a single element.

An einem ringförmigen Kragen des hohlzylindrischen Teils 26 liegt eine Druckfeder 25 an. Diese Druckfeder 25 stützt sich mit ihrem gegenüberliegenden Ende an dem Ventilgehäuse ab. Durch die Druckfeder wird die Membran in eine obere Endstellung bewegt. In dieser Endstellung liegt die Membran im Bereich ihrer Verdickung 31 an dem Gehäusedeckel 13 an.A compression spring 25 bears against an annular collar of the hollow cylindrical part 26. This compression spring 25 is supported with its opposite end on the valve housing. The diaphragm is moved to an upper end position by the compression spring emotional. In this end position, the membrane lies in the area of its thickening 31 on the housing cover 13.

Innerhalb des hohlzylindrischen Teils 26 befindet sich ein Zwischenventil 18. Dieses Zwischenventil 18 ist mit einer Ventilplatte 19 und mit einem Ventilsitz 21 versehen. Außerdem hat das Zwischenventil 18 eine Ventilöffnung 20 mit einem bestimmten Durchmesser, welcher kleiner als der Durchmesser des Ventilsitzes 17 ist. Das Zwischenventil 18 wird von einer Druckfeder 24 im Ruhestand in der dargestellten Lage gehalten. Durch dieses Zwischenventil werden in dem Druckregelventil zwei unterschiedlich wirkende Ventile gebildet, und zwar ein Ventil bestehend aus Ventilplatte 19 und Ventilsitz 17 und ein Ventil mit Ventilplatte 22 und Ventilsitz 21. Das hohlzylindrische Teil 26 ist mit Durchbrüchen 23 versehen.An intermediate valve 18 is located within the hollow cylindrical part 26. This intermediate valve 18 is provided with a valve plate 19 and with a valve seat 21. In addition, the intermediate valve 18 has a valve opening 20 with a certain diameter, which is smaller than the diameter of the valve seat 17. The intermediate valve 18 is held in the position shown by a compression spring 24 in the retired state. This intermediate valve forms two differently acting valves in the pressure control valve, namely a valve consisting of valve plate 19 and valve seat 17 and a valve with valve plate 22 and valve seat 21. The hollow cylindrical part 26 is provided with openings 23.

In der Fig. 3 gezeigten Stellung werden die in einem Kurbelgehäuse sich bildenden Gase, welche über den Zufluß 28 einströmen, über den Abflußstutzen 12 abgesaugt, wobei beide Ventile geöffnet sind. Diese Ventilstellung ist wirksam, wenn der Saugrohrunterdruck sehr gering ist bzw. nahezu kein Saugrohrunterdruck herrscht. In dieser Stellung kann der größtmögliche Durchsatz an Durchblasgasen auch bei geringem Saugrohrunterdruck erzielt werden.In the position shown in FIG. 3, the gases which form in a crankcase and which flow in via the inflow 28 are drawn off via the outflow connection 12, both valves being open. This valve position is effective when the intake manifold vacuum is very low or there is almost no intake manifold vacuum. In this position, the greatest possible throughput of blow-by gases can be achieved even with a low intake manifold vacuum.

Nähere Erläuterungen zu dem Ventil können der DE-OS 40 22 129 entnommen werden.More detailed explanations of the valve can be found in DE-OS 40 22 129.
