Definitions
- Oil intake system for an internal combustion engine in particular a single-cylinder diesel engine
- the invention relates to an oil intake system for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Combustion air intake system arrive, which in extreme cases can lead to engine damage in diesel engines due to an increase in speed that can no longer be controlled.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing an oil intake system which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above and which responds particularly sensitively enough to reliably avoid the intake of air even in the case of strong inclined positions.
- the ⁇ lansaugsystem least three Olansaugrohre with at least four suction heads on which the oil pump are connected via a suction pipe with 'and which are arranged in the sump such that when the inclined position of the internal combustion engine, the suction is prevented of air through arranged in the ⁇ lansaugrohren control valves.
- the control valves are open when the oil pan is in the "normal" horizontal position. If the oil pan is extremely inclined, however, only those control valves that are wetted with oil are open. All other control valves remain closed.
- the oil intake system according to the present invention can easily be retrofitted to existing internal combustion engines, in that only the oil pan and the normal suction basket are to be dismantled and the latter is to be replaced by the oil intake system according to the present invention.
- the control valves can be regulated mechanically or in another suitable manner.
- control valves are displaceable under gravity on valve bars arranged on slide rods and valve seats arranged on the tube ends, makes a simple but nevertheless sensitive mechanical response Gravity control of the valves implemented.
- this gravity control also has a "fail-safe" function, since simultaneous closing of all valves is reliably prevented by arranging two valve plates on a common slide rod.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that three oil suction pipes are arranged in an H-shape and the two side pipes each have two suction heads. This arrangement ensures that there is sufficient oil in each tilt position at least at one corner of the oil pan to ensure that oil is sucked in without air.
- the suction pipe can be arranged, for example, centrally over a flange with the connecting pipe between the two side pipes.
- FIG. 1 Further advantageous embodiments of the oil intake system according to the invention can be formed by the X, Z or square arrangement of the oil intake pipes. It is important in each case that there is at least one suction head at all corners of the oil pan, in which the oil level can collect in the case of inclined positions. Depending on the shape of the oil pan, this can also be possible, for example, through a triangular, polygonal or star-shaped arrangement of the oil intake pipes.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the present invention provides that the suction heads have a suction opening directed towards the tub floor. Without such a design, a minimum oil level of the size of the pipe diameter would have to be present in order not to suck in air. An even lower oil level is only possible with the oil intake openings below according to the advantageous embodiment. It is also advantageous that filter screens are arranged on the suction heads. This prevents the contamination in the oil sump from being sucked in.
- an advantageous embodiment provides that a check valve is arranged at the transition between the intake manifold and the oil pump seat in order to prevent the intake manifold and pump chamber from running dry when the engine is at a standstill.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of a
- Fig. 2 is a schematic side view from the direction A-A in Fig. 1 in section, wherein the oil pan is in a horizontal position and Fig. 3 is a view according to Fig. 2, but with tilted
- the H-shaped oil intake system consists of a total of three oil intake pipes 26, 27, 28, each of which has an axially displaceably mounted shift rod 1, 2, 3, at the two ends of which valve plates 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are arranged.
- the valves of the oil intake pipe 27 are open, although they are not oil-wetted. To suck in air too prevent the valve of the tube 26 formed from the valve plate 4 and the valve seat 30 is closed and the valve formed from the valve plate 5 and the valve seat 31 arranged at the other end of the slide rod is opened.
- valve rod 1 is axially displaceably supported by the axial bearings 10, 11.
- the oil suction pipe 28 has the open control valve formed by valve plate 8 and valve seat 34 and the closed control valve formed by valve plate 9 and valve seat 35.
- Both valve plates 8, 9 are connected via the axially displaceable sliding rod 3, which is movably mounted in the bearings 14, 15.
- the two side tubes 27, 28 also have filter screens 20, 21, 22, 23.
- the bearings 12, 13 of the slide rod 2 in the tube 27 are shown.
- valve plates 6, 7 with the valve seats 32, 33 are arranged.
- the oil flow is shown in Fig. 1 by the arrows 36. 1 also shows the outlet opening 29, which is arranged centrally on the upper side of the suction pipe 26 and is connected to the suction pipe 43, not shown, for the oil pump 45, also not shown.
- the valve plates 5 and 8 move into their open position due to the force of gravity, the valve plates 4 and 9 being displaced into their closed position via the push rods 1 and 3. This ensures that no air is sucked into the suction system, which is now only open on the suction head 19.
- the position of the valves in the oil suction pipe 27 is irrelevant in the inclined position shown in FIG. 1, since the pipe 27 is completely decoupled from the rest of the oil suction system and thus in particular from the outlet opening 29 by the closed valve plate 4.
- Fig. 2 shows schematically the oil intake system of Fig. 1 in a lateral section, the oil pan 24 attached to the crankcase 52 being in a horizontal position, ie the oil level S2 is parallel to the pan bottom 40.
- the valve plates 4, 5 of the Tube 26 both opened, ie lifted off the valve seats 30, 31.
- the pipes 27 and 28 connected to pipe 26 via flanges 25 and the connecting rods 2, 3 are shown in section. Both valves are also open in the two side tubes 27, 28, so that oil is sucked in via all four suction heads 16, 17, 18, 19.
- a support plate 41 is also attached, which has a plurality of openings 42 which allow unimpeded oil flow.
- the plate 41 has a suction pipe 43 for an oil pump 45, according to the illustration a gear pump, the housing of which is fastened on the plate 41.
- the oil pumped by the pump 45 to the points of consumption of the machine goes into a pressure pipe 46.
- the suction pipe 43 is designed at the lower end as a flange 44, which is used to fasten an elongated, hollow and cylindrical pipe 26 arranged parallel to the bottom 40 of the tub 24 serves.
- the pipe 26 has a fastening flange 49 for this purpose.
- a tiltable plate valve 51 is provided on a pin 50, which in the rest position of the machine rests on the flange 49 in a sealing manner and the return flow of the oil from the suction pipe 43 and the pump 45 prevented.
- a slide rod 1 is axially displaceably mounted in the tube 26.
- two bearings 10, 11, for example ball bearings are provided in two perforated transverse flanges 47, 48 of the tube 26.
- the rod 1 carries a flat valve plate 4, 5 at each end, which cooperates with an annular surface designed as a valve seat 30, 31 at each end of the tube 26.
- Fig. 3 shows the oil intake system of FIG.
