Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for regulating the temperature of the lubricating oil of the mechanical parts an internal combustion engine.
  • the invention applies especially in the automotive field.
  • An internal combustion engine generally includes a cylinder block, cylinder head and oil pan.
  • the oil is sucked into its housing by an oil pump and is distributed in the motor to ensure lubrication of mechanical parts contained in the cylinder block and in the breech.
  • the temperature of the engine lubricating oil constitutes an important parameter making it possible to decrease the friction or passive loss in the engine.
  • So lubricating oil is used for capture the calories from the cylinder head whose temperatures may exceed those of the cylinders or shirts. During normal engine operation, the oil fails calories to the coolant which ensures the thermal oil regulation. This process allows on the one hand reduced friction in the engine and secondly the use of a low viscosity oil.
  • the lubrication at the top engine is of the "mixed” type, that is to say that the parts mechanical are in metal / metal contact in places and separated by a film of oil in other places; while the lubrication is of the "hydrodynamic” type in the lower engine, that is, the parts are separated by an oil film.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a oil temperature regulation process lubrication of the mechanical parts of a internal combustion overcoming all or part of the disadvantages of the prior art noted above.
  • a goal of the present invention is to provide a method of regulation the temperature of the lubricating oil minimizing the friction in the engine compared to the prior art.
  • This object is achieved by the fact that in the process of regulating the temperature of the lubricating oil mechanical parts of an internal combustion engine; the engine comprising a cylinder block, a cylinder head, a casing oil, means for sucking the oil to a first and a second lubrication circuit for mechanical components contained respectively in the cylinder block and in the cylinder head; we regulate the temperatures independently lubricating oil circulating in the first and second lubrication circuits.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a oil temperature regulation device lubrication of the mechanical parts of a internal combustion process implementation.
  • the regulatory device the temperature of the lubricating oil of the organs mechanics of an internal combustion engine has first and second temperature regulation means oil respectively from the first lubrication circuit and the second lubrication circuit, means for measuring the oil temperature and control means automatic temperature control means the oil of the first and second lubrication circuits, in as a function of the measured oil temperature.
  • the first and second regulation means are each switchable by the control means between an inactive state and an active state, the active state the means of regulation being determined for provide either cooling or warming of the oil circulating in the concerned lubrication circuit.
  • the first means of oil regulation are activated to warm the oil circulating in the first circuit of lubrication, the second regulation means being either deactivated or activated to cool the oil circulating in the second lubrication circuit.
  • the reference temperature is between about 80 and 120 degrees.
  • the first means of regulation are deactivated while the second means of regulation are activated to cool the oil circulating in the second lubrication circuit.
  • the first and second regulation means are activated to cool the oil circulating respectively in the first and second lubrication circuits.
  • the first and second means for regulating the oil temperature include each an exchanger and associated switching means, the exchangers being located respectively upstream of first and second lubrication circuits, the means of switching allowing to selectively or not select the oil lubrication in heat exchange with the liquid cooling of an engine cooling circuit.
  • switching means heat exchange the coolant and oil from the first lubrication circuit and deactivate heat exchange of coolant with oil of the second lubrication circuit.
  • the switching means set heat exchange the coolant and the oil second lubrication circuit and deactivate the exchange thermal of the coolant with the oil of the first lubrication circuit.
  • the switching means exchange heat the first and second coolant and oil lubrication circuits.
  • the limit temperature is between about 140 and 180 degrees.
  • maximum temperature stabilized coolant is a fixed value known by the control means, or a variable value measured in real time.
  • the cooling circuit has two branches in parallel, each of the two tracks of the same branch have a valve constituting the switching means associated with the exchanger concerned.
  • Figure 1 partially and schematically an internal combustion engine which includes a cylinder block 1, a cylinder head 2, an oil pan 3 and means 12 oil suction.
  • the suction means 12 can be consist of an oil pump.
  • Oil pump 12 sucks crankcase oil 3 through a strainer 13 to a first circuit 4A of lubrication of the mechanical organs contained in the cylinder housing 1 and to a second lubrication circuit 4B of the mechanical organs contained in the cylinder head 2.
  • the mechanical parts intended to be lubricated in the block cylinder 1 include, for example, the bearings of the crankshaft, the big ends as well as the contacts pistons / liners.
  • the mechanical parts intended to be lubricated in cylinder head 2 include bearings camshaft as well as the cam / tappet contacts or cam / rocker.
  • the first 4A and second 4B lubrication circuits can constitute two parts of a same lubrication circuit. That is, the oil sucked by the pump 12 is shared, at a branch, between the cylinder block 1 and the cylinder head 2.
  • the engine also has a circuit 9 of cooling in which a liquid circulates cooling.
  • circuit 9 of cooling is partially represented so schematic in Figure 1.
  • the oil temperature regulation device lubrication comprises first means 5, 8A, 8B for regulating the temperature of the oil circulating in the first lubrication circuit 4A and second means 6, 7A, 7B for regulating the temperature of the oil circulating in the second lubrication circuit 4B.
  • the regulating device of the lubricating oil temperature also means 10 for measuring the temperature of lubricating oil.
  • These measuring means 10 can be consist of a probe immersed in the oil sump 3 or by any other equivalent means.
  • the device includes also means 11 for automatically controlling the means 6, 7A, 7B; 5, 8A, 8B for temperature regulation of first 4A and second 4B lubrication circuits depending on the oil temperature measured by means 10 of measured.
  • the control means 11 comprise, by example, electronic data processing means of the calculator type or any other equivalent means.
  • the first and second means for regulating the oil temperature each consist of an exchanger 5, 6 associated with means 8A, 8B; 7A, 7B respective switching.
  • These means 7A, 7B; 8A, 8B switching are intended to put or not the coolant in heat exchange with lubricating oil.
  • the exchangers 5, 6 are located upstream respectively first 4A and second 4B lubrication circuits, i.e. upstream of the cylinder block 1 and of the cylinder head 2.
  • the switching means associated with each exchanger 5, 6 consist of a pair of valves 8A, 8B; 7A, 7B whether or not to allow coolant circulation in the exchanger 9. That is to say that the circuit 9 of lubrication has two parallel branches allowing whether or not to carry out, in the lubrication circuit 4A, 4B concerned, the heat exchange between the oil and the liquid cooling.
  • Each of the two parallel paths of the same bypass comprises a valve 7A, 78; 8A, 8B respectively. So when a first 7A, 8A valve in the valve pair 7A, 7B; 8A, 88 is open and the second valve 78, 88 is closed, the coolant circulates in the exchanger 6, 5 concerned. When the second valve 78, 8B is open and the first valve 7A, 8A closed, the coolant does not circulate in the exchanger 6, 5 concerned.
  • the control means 11 exchange heat the coolant and oil from the first 4A circuit lubrication, and deactivate the heat exchange of the oil cooling of the second 48 circuit lubrication (figure 2).
  • the reference temperature Tr can be the temperature Stabilized maximum coolant ts in normal engine operation. This temperature Ts maximum stabilized coolant, which is known and / or measured for each type of engine, can be between about 80 and 120 degrees.
  • the means 7A, 78; 8A, 88 switching switch the heat exchange coolant and oil from the second 48 lubrication and deactivate heat exchange of water with the oil of the first (4A) lubrication circuit, so as not to cool the latter.
  • the liquid cooling is heat exchanged with the oil in the exchanger 6 of the cylinder head lubrication circuit 48 2, but not in the exchanger 5 of the lubrication circuit 4A of the cylinder block 1.
  • the temperature of the coolant stabilizes around a temperature, for example, about 90 degrees, while that the temperature of the lubricating oil continues to warm up well beyond 90 degrees.
  • This stabilized maximum temperature Ts of the cooling is either a fixed value known by the means 11 control, a value measured in real time.
  • the regulating device according to the invention includes means for measuring the temperature of the liquid cooling (not shown).
  • control means 11 place the means 7A, 78; 8A, 8B switching so as to put in heat exchange the coolant and the oil first 4A and second 48 lubrication circuits.
  • the oil intended for circulate in the cylinder block 1 and in the cylinder head 2. This prevents certain mechanical components such as bearing bearings are damaged with oil too hot. Indeed, during this third phase, the coolant temperature is always stabilized around 90 degrees.
  • the device for regulating the temperature of the lubricating oil according to the invention reduced significantly the friction in the engine compared to prior art.
