Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Entlüftungsvorrichtung in einer zu einer Saugrohranordnung einer Brennkraftmaschine hinführenden Entlüftungsleitung mit einer als Durchflußbegrenzer wirkenden Drossel, wobei die Saugrohranordnung aus einem Kunststoffbauteil mit einem eintrittsseitigen Anschlußstutzen für die Entlüftungsleitung und einem Austritt besteht, ferner mit einer in einer Durchgangsbohrung des Kunststoffbauteiles fest eingesetzten Metallhülse mit einer Befestigungsschraube, die das Kunststoffteil über die Metallhülse mit dem Zylinderkopf der Brennkraftmaschine fest verspannt.The invention relates to a ventilation device in a ventilation pipe leading to a suction pipe arrangement of an internal combustion engine with a throttle acting as a flow restrictor, the suction pipe arrangement consisting of a plastic component with an inlet-side connecting piece for the ventilation pipe and an outlet, and also with a metal sleeve firmly inserted in a through hole of the plastic component with a fastening screw that firmly clamps the plastic part over the metal sleeve to the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine.
Brennkraftmaschinen mit derartigen Entlüftungsvorrichtungen mit einer als Durchflußbegrenzer wirkenden Drossel sind aus der MTZ Motortechnische Zeitschrift 53 (1992) 10, Seite 438, Bild 14 bekannt.Internal combustion engines with such ventilation devices with a throttle acting as a flow restrictor are known from MTZ Motortechnische Zeitschrift 53 (1992) 10, page 438, Figure 14.
In diesen Fahrzeugen ist die vom Kurbelgehäuse der mehrzylindrigen Brennkraftmaschine ausgehende Entlüftungsleitung an einer als Kunststoffbauteil ausgebildeten Saugrohranordnung angeflanscht. In dem außenliegenden bzw. freiliegenden Teil der Entlüftungsleitung befindet sich zwischen Kurbelgehäuse und Saugrohranordnung im saugrohrnahen Bereich die Drossel als durchflußbestimmendes Zwischenstück.In these vehicles, the vent line extending from the crankcase of the multi-cylinder internal combustion engine is flanged to an intake manifold arrangement designed as a plastic component. In the outer or exposed part of the vent line, the throttle is located between the crankcase and the intake manifold arrangement in the area near the intake manifold as a flow-determining intermediate piece.
Bei Ausführungen dieser Art traten bei niedrigen Außentemperaturen Funktionsstörungen auf, die eine einwandfreie Kurbelgehäuseentlüftung nicht mehr sicherstellten.In the case of versions of this type, malfunctions occurred at low outside temperatures, which no longer ensured perfect crankcase ventilation.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, an einer Entlüftungsvorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art einfache Maßnahmen vorzusehen, durch die auch bei extrem niedrigen Außentemperaturen Funktionsbeeinträchtigungen oder gar Ausfälle der Kurbelgehäuseentlüftung vermieden werden.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing simple measures on a ventilation device of the generic type, by means of which functional impairments or even failures of the crankcase ventilation can be avoided even at extremely low outside temperatures.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe dienen die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale.To solve the problem serve the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
In den Unteransprüchen sind noch förderliche Weiterbildungen der Erfindung angegeben.Further advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Durch die Schaffung einer thermisch leitenden Verbindung mit motorbetriebswarmen Bauteilen, nämlich über eine mit dem Zylinderkopf in Kontakt stehende Metallhülse zur Wärmeeinleitung in die Drossel, wird auf einfachste Weise ein Einfrieren der als Durchflußbegrenzer wirkenden Drossel verhindert. Zusätzliche Bauteile sind somit nicht erforderlich, vielmehr wird eine an sich bekannte und seither lediglich als Abstandshalter wirkende Metallhülse als Wärmeleiter genutzt, um den drosselnden Abschnitt der Entlüftungsleitung gegen tiefe Außentemperaturen unempfindlich zu machen.By creating a thermally conductive connection with engine-warm components, namely via a metal sleeve in contact with the cylinder head for heat introduction into the throttle, freezing of the throttle acting as a flow restrictor is prevented in the simplest way. Additional components are therefore not required, rather a metal sleeve which is known per se and since then has only acted as a spacer is used as a heat conductor in order to make the throttling section of the ventilation line insensitive to low outside temperatures.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ergibt sich dadurch, daß die Drossel als Leitungszwischenstück in die Metallhülse integriert ist. Somit wird bei tiefen Außentemperaturen und kaltem Motor ein schneller Temperaturanstieg bzw. eine rasche Aufheizung im Motorbetrieb ermöglicht.An advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that the throttle is integrated as a line intermediate piece in the metal sleeve. This enables a rapid rise in temperature or rapid heating during engine operation when the outside temperature is low and the engine is cold.

Das Kunststoffbauteil enthält eine stufig ausgebildete langgestreckte Durchgangsbohrung 9, die in ihrer unteren Hälfte von der Entlüftungsleitung 7 durchkreuzt wird. Der eintrittsseitige Anschlußstutzen 8 der Entlüftungsleitung 7, der radial in die Durchgangsbohrung 9 einmündet, und ein durch eine Radialbohrung 10 gebildeter Austritt liegen höhenversetzt zueinander, wobei der Anschlußstutzen 8 gegenüber der austrittsseitigen Radialbohrung 10 höher angeordnet ist.The plastic component contains a step-shaped elongated through hole 9, which is crossed in its lower half by the ventilation line 7. The inlet connection 8 of the ventilation line 7, which opens radially into the through hole 9, and an outlet formed by a radial bore 10 are offset in height from one another, the connection 8 being arranged higher than the radial bore 10 on the outlet side.
In der Durchgangsbohrung 9 steckt eine als Abstandshalter wirkende Metallhülse 11, die sich über die gesamte Länge der Durchgangsbohrung 9 erstreckt. Diese Metallhülse 11 weist in Höhe des Anschlußstutzens 8 eine Drossel 12 auf, die am geodätisch höchsten Punkt der Kurbelgehäuseentlüftung liegt und als Radialbohrung in Verlängerung zum Anschlußstutzen 8 verläuft und eine Verbindung von dem Anschlußstutzen 8 zu einem Ringzwischenraum 13 herstellt, der von der Innenwandung 14 der Metallhülse 11 und einer in der Metallhülse 11 steckenden Befestigungsschraube 15 gebildet ist. Der Ringzwischenraum 13 beginnt kurz oberhalb der Drossel 12 an einer Stelle 13a und endet am unteren Ende der Metallhülse 11.In the through hole 9 is a metal sleeve 11 acting as a spacer, which extends over the entire length of the Through hole 9 extends. This metal sleeve 11 has a throttle 12 at the level of the connecting piece 8, which is located at the geodetically highest point of the crankcase ventilation and extends as a radial bore in extension to the connecting piece 8 and connects the connecting piece 8 to an annular space 13, which of the inner wall 14 Metal sleeve 11 and a fastening screw 15 inserted in the metal sleeve 11 is formed. The annular space 13 begins just above the throttle 12 at a point 13 a and ends at the lower end of the metal sleeve 11.
Zwischen dem Ringzwischenraum 13 und der austrittsseitigen Radialbohrung 10 verläuft eine durchmessermäßig große Radialbohrung 16 in der Metallhülse 11, die in ein Sammelrohr 17 mündet, welches sich über sämtliche Saugrohre 2 bis 5 erstreckt (nicht dargestellt).Between the annular space 13 and the radial bore 10 on the outlet side there is a radial bore 16 of large diameter in the metal sleeve 11, which opens into a collecting tube 17 which extends over all suction tubes 2 to 5 (not shown).
Die aus Kunststoff bestehende Saugrohranordnung 6 ist durch die Befestigungsschraube 15 mit dem Zylinderkopf 18 der Brennkraftmaschine fest verspannt.The intake manifold arrangement 6, which is made of plastic, is firmly clamped to the cylinder head 18 of the internal combustion engine by the fastening screw 15.
