Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of combustion engines internal two-stage in which the oil is injected independently of gasoline. These motors are also called separate lubrication motors.
  • the present invention relates to flow control, or dosing, of the oil injected into this type of engine.
  • Known oil dosing systems generally include a mechanical dosing pump controlled according to parameters such as that the speed and / or the throttle position, this last parameter being representative of the engine load.
  • EP-A-0 609 866 also discloses a process for controlling the flow of lubricating oil from an internal combustion engine two-stroke comprising a lubrication oil injection circuit, consisting in acting on the flow of lubricating oil as a function of the temperature of the coolant circulating in this engine.
  • This process has the major drawback of requiring a circuit particular engine cooling by. a liquid, liquid circuit which is not a generalization for cooling this type of 2-stroke engine.
  • lubrication systems are designed to guarantee a safety margin in the event of significant overheating of the engine (climbing a long hill for example).
  • the most efficient systems operate according to parameters such as load and / or speed of the engine.
  • the present invention makes it possible to solve the problems mentioned above, especially those related to engine overheating and excessive oil consumption.
  • the present invention proposes to base the control of the oil flow on the temperature of an element of the engine representative of the charge level engine thermal, in this case the ignition element that includes usually this type of engine.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method for controlling the two-stroke internal combustion engine lubricating oil flow comprising an ignition element and an oil injection circuit lubrication, consisting in acting on the flow of lubricating oil in function a temperature representative of the thermal load of said motor, characterized in that the temperature representative of the thermal load is the temperature of the ignition element.
  • the temperature representative of the engine thermal load is the temperature of the seal worn by the ignition element.
  • the lubrication oil flow is increased injected into the engine when the temperature representative of the load motor temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
  • the oil injection circuit includes a circuit for leakage
  • the action on the lubrication oil flow can be obtained by controlling the closing of said leak circuit.
  • the invention further relates to an internal combustion engine with two time including an ignition element and a flow injection circuit lubricating oil.
  • the senor for measuring the temperature representative of the engine thermal load is then arranged on a seal carried by the ignition element.
  • the motor according to the invention may comprise a sensor for load measurement and / or a speed measurement sensor of said engine, the output of each of them being connected to an input of said module further processing so that the lubricating oil flow is additionally modified according to the load and / or the engine speed.
  • Figure 1 shows an air-cooled two-stroke engine 1, with a oil inlet pipe 2.
  • the oil flow on this inlet is controlled by an element 3 such as a valve actuated by a solenoid.
  • an oil tank 4 and a pump 5 constitute the oil supply controlled by the solenoid 3.
  • the fuel supply is planned separately from the oil supply 2.
  • the oil flow out of the pump 5 is divided into two conduits: the main supply conduit 2 engine and a bypass duct 10 where part of the oil is recycled upstream of the pump 5. It is preferable to insert a non-return valve 6 in the bypass duct 10.
  • a second non-return valve 11 can also be installed on the main line 2, near the engine oil inlet to avoid especially the oil supply to the engine during its stop.
  • the taring of second valve 11 is then a function of the calibration of valve 6.
  • Main supply lines 2 and bypass lines 10 will be dimensioned to deliver a minimum flow required by the motor when the bypass duct 10 is open, and a maximum flow required by the motor when the bypass duct 10 is closed.
  • the solenoid 3 can control the all-or-nothing opening of the bypass duct 10, allowing either a minimum flow rate (normal conditions; bypass open) or a maximum flow rate (conditions of thermal overload; bypass closed).
  • the solenoid 3 may be move gradually (or at a variable frequency) and train a partial and variable closure system for the bypass duct 10: by example using a variable section needle.
  • the opening of the conduit 10 will thus be done as and when the increase in the thermal load of the motor, thus allowing a gradual increase in the oil flow in said conduit 10.
  • An electronic calculation unit 7 can advantageously be provided in particular to control the solenoid 3.
  • the unit 7 is also connected to a element representative of the engine thermal load, in this case the spark plug ignition or more precisely to a temperature sensor 8 placed on the spark plug seal 12.
  • the sensor 8 continuously supplies the temperature from the spark plug seal to the calculation unit 7 which itself and, depending in particular of the temperature supplied, controls the solenoid 3 in the manner indicated above.
  • the oil pump 5 can also be connected to a pulley 9 itself connected to the throttle valve. This system allows you to control the flow through the engine load. It is not necessary for the implementation of the invention. It is an additional element that can improve the control of the flow via temperature.
  • This additional element can be useful in case of failure of the temperature-related control system. It can thus be considered as a redundant element.
  • a temperature threshold memorized in the unit 7, determines when the flow should be changed.
  • the present invention allows better flow management oil, that is to say ultimately a reduction in consumption.
  • the implementation of the present invention being directly related to engine temperature, a failure of the cooling is immediately taken into account and remedied. In effect as soon as the engine temperature rises, the oil flow is also increased, which can prevent engine breakage.
  • witnesses or other means may also be provided in order to alert the driver at the origin of the problem.
  • This figure shows a set of curves (A, B, C) of the couple C in function of the temperature T of a characteristic element of the temperature of the engine, here the temperature of the spark plug seal, for different ratios gasoline / lubricating oil mass.
  • Engine lubrication is therefore directly linked to problems that appear in the engine as soon as lubrication is complete insufficient and that the oil film breaks.
  • the problems of tightening are also linked to the thermal load level of the motor and mainly at the piston temperature. So the warmer the engine and the more the risks of tightening (therefore of deterioration of the motor) are important. At the same time, the lower the quantity of lubricant introduced (high fuel / lubricant ratio), the more the tightening appears at low temperature.
  • the tightening is characterized by the sudden drop in the driving torque stopping the engine completely and damaging the piston and cylinder.
