Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine mehrzylindrige Brennkraftmaschine gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der EP 0 921 297 B1 ist eine mehrzylindrige Brennkraftmaschine bekannt, bei der das in einem Ölsumpf befindliche Schmieröl durch eine kombinierte Ölabsaug/Öldruckpumpe aus dem Ölsumpf angesaugt, über einen Öl-Luft-Abscheider entschäumt, den Verbrauchern wieder zugeführt wird.From the EP 0 921 297 B1 a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine is known, in which the oil contained in an oil sump sucked by a combined oil suction / oil pressure pump from the oil sump, defoamed by an oil-air separator, the consumers is supplied again.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den Schmierölkreislauf einer Brennkraftmaschine zu verbessern, um insbesondere bei Einsatz dieser Motoren in geländegängigen Fahrzeugen und Sportfahrzeugen, bei denen u.a. hohe Querbeschleunigungen auftreten, eine sichere und dauerhafte Schmierölversorgung der Verbraucher sicherzustellen.The object of the invention is to improve the lubricating oil circuit of an internal combustion engine, in particular when using these engines in all-terrain vehicles and sports vehicles, where u.a. high lateral accelerations occur to ensure a safe and permanent lubricating oil supply to consumers.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Dadurch, dass der im Kurbeigehäuseunterteil ausgebildete Ölsumpf in einzelne Ölabsaugräume aufgeteilt und jedem Ölabsaugraum eine im Kurbelgehäuseunterteil integrierte Ölabsaugpumpe zugeordnet ist, wird der Forderung nach einer schnellen und zuverlässigen Ölabsaugung Rechnung getragen. Aufgrund der Aufteilung des Ölsumpfes in einzelne Ölabsaugräume kann ein Hin- und Herschwappen des Schmieröls insbes. bei Quer- und Längsbeschleunigungen reduziert werden. Damit kann die Ölmenge für den Motor insgesamt reduziert werden.The object is solved by the features specified in claim 1. Characterized in that the formed in Kurbeigehäuseunterteil oil sump divided into individual Ölabsaugräume and each Ölabsaugraum an integrated in the crankcase lower part Ölabsaugpumpe is assigned, the demand for a fast and reliable oil extraction is taken into account. Due to the division of the oil sump into individual Ölabsaugräume a back and forth sloshing of the lubricating oil esp. Can be reduced in transverse and longitudinal accelerations. Thus, the total amount of oil for the engine can be reduced.

In den Unteransprüchen sind weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Brennkraftmaschine aufgeführt.In the dependent claims further advantageous embodiments and refinements of the internal combustion engine according to the invention are listed.

Im Kurbelgehäuseunterteil ist seitlich ein in Erstreckungsrichtung der Kurbelwelle verlaufendes erstes Tragrohr vorgesehen, das einstückig aus dem Kurbelgehäuseunterteil herausgebildet ist und u.a. zur Aufnahme der Ölabsaugpumpen dient. Damit sind die Ölabsaugpumpen dicht an den Ölabsaugräumen platziert, so dass das Schmieröl ohne Zwischenschaltung weiterer Leitungen o.ä. direkt abgesaugt werden kann. Gleichzeitig trägt das Tragrohr zu einer Steifigkeitserhöhung des Kurbelgehäuseunterteils und damit zu einer hohen Verwindungssteifigkeit für die im Kurbelgehäuseunterteil integrierten Lagerstühle bei.In the crankcase lower part extending in the direction of extension of the crankshaft first support tube is provided laterally, which is integrally formed out of the lower crankcase and, inter alia, for receiving the Ölabsaugpumpen serves. Thus, the Ölabsaugpumpen are placed close to the Ölabsaugräumen, so that the lubricating oil without the interposition of other lines o.ä. can be sucked directly. At the same time the support tube contributes to an increase in stiffness of the crankcase lower part and thus to a high torsional rigidity for the integrated in the crankcase lower part storage chairs.

Die Ölabsaugpumpen sind im Tragrohr hintereinander angeordnet und werden durch eine gemeinsame Welle angetrieben.The Ölabsaugpumpen are arranged in the support tube one behind the other and are driven by a common shaft.

Die Ölabsaugpumpen weisen jeweils ein zylindrisches Gehäuse auf, wobei die aneinandergrenzenden Pumpen durch entsprechende Gehäusedeckel voneinander getrennt sind.The Ölabsaugpumpen each have a cylindrical housing, wherein the adjacent pumps are separated by corresponding housing cover.

Die Ölabsaugpumpen sind als Zahnradpumpen ausgebildet, wobei die Achse der an- und abgetriebenen Zahnräder exzentrisch zur Tragrohr-Mittelachse ausgerichtet sind. Um ein Verdrehen der Ölabsaugpumpen untereinander zu verhindern, ist jeweils zwischen dem Gehäuse der Ölabsaugpumpe und dem Gehäusedeckel eine Verdrehsicherung vorgesehen.The Ölabsaugpumpen are designed as gear pumps, wherein the axis of the driven and abraded gears are aligned eccentrically to the support tube central axis. In order to prevent rotation of the Ölabsaugpumpen with each other, an anti-rotation is provided in each case between the housing of the oil suction pump and the housing cover.

Das gesamte Ölabsaugmodul - bestehend aus Ölabsaugpumpen, Ölförderpumpe, Gehäusedeckeln - ist auf vorteilhafte Art und Weise aus Kunststoff aufgebaut. Damit wird wesentlich zu einer kostengünstigen Leichtbauweise des gesamten Kurbelgehäuseunterteils beigetragen. Zur Umsetzung einer Trockensumpfschmierung - bei dem das aus den einzelnen Ölabsaugräumen abgesaugte Schmieröl zunächst zu einem Öltank gefördert und von dort aus den Verbrauchern wieder zugeführt wird - ist eine zusätzliche Ölförderpumpe erforderlich. Diese ist ebenfalls platzsparend im ersten Tragrohr aufgenommen.The entire Ölabsaugmodul - consisting of Ölabsaugpumpen, oil pump, housing covers - is constructed in an advantageous manner of plastic. This is significantly contributed to a cost-effective lightweight construction of the entire crankcase base. To implement a dry sump lubrication - in which the extracted from the individual Ölabsaugräumen lubricating oil is first conveyed to an oil tank and from there from the consumers again fed - an additional oil feed pump is required. This is also taken up space saving in the first support tube.

Im Kurbelgehäuseunterteil ist auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des ersten Tragrohres seitlich und symmetrisch zum ersten Tragrohr ein zweites Tragrohr ausgebildet, das zur Aufnahme eines Ölabscheiders und einer Wasserpumpe vorgesehen ist. Damit sind wesentliche zur Funktion der Brennkraftmaschine erforderliche Aggregate platzsparend im Kurbelgehäuseunterteil integriert.In the crankcase lower part is formed on the opposite side of the first support tube laterally and symmetrically to the first support tube, a second support tube, the Receiving an oil separator and a water pump is provided. This essential essential for the function of the engine units are integrated to save space in the crankcase lower part.

Der als Zentrifugalabscheider ausgebildete Öl-Luft-Separator weist eine rotierende Trommel auf, die von einer Welle angetrieben ist; diese Welle treibt gleichzeitig das Förderrad für die Wasserpumpe an.The centrifugal separator formed as an oil-air separator has a rotating drum which is driven by a shaft; This wave simultaneously drives the impeller for the water pump.

Das zur Steuerung des kleinen und großen Kühlkreislaufes erforderliche Thermostat ist ebenfalls im zweiten Tragrohr integriert.The required for controlling the small and large cooling circuit thermostat is also integrated in the second support tube.

Sowohl an der die Ölabsaugpumpen und die Ölförderpumpe antreibenden Welle als auch an der den Rotor des Zentrifugalabscheiders und das Förderrad der Wasserpumpe antreibenden Welle ist jeweils ein Zahnritzel befestigt, die beide über eine gemeinsame Kette angetrieben sind. Die Kette selbst wiederum kann über ein an der Kurbelwelle befestigtes Kettenritzel angetrieben werden.Both on the shaft driving the Ölabsaugpumpen and the oil supply pump and on the rotor of the centrifugal separator and the impeller of the water pump driving shaft each have a pinion fixed, both of which are driven by a common chain. The chain itself in turn can be driven by a chain sprocket attached to the crankshaft.

Beide Zahnritzel sind in einem im Kurbelgehäuseunterteil ausgebildeten Zahnräder- oder Kettenschacht aufgenommen; darin aufgefangenes Schmieröl wird durch eine weitere Ölabsaugpumpe abgesaugt. Die Ölabsaugpumpe für den Zahnräder- oder Kettenschacht ist dabei platzsparend ebenfalls im ersten Tragrohr aufgenommen.Both pinions are received in a formed in the crankcase lower part gears or chain shaft; Trapped in this oil is sucked through a further Ölabsaugpumpe. The Ölabsaugpumpe for the gear or chain shaft is also taken to save space in the first support tube.

Die exemplarisch als V8-Motor ausgebildete Brennkraftmaschine besteht aus einem Kurbelgehäuseunterteil 2 und einem Kurbelgehäuseoberteil 4, an das sich nach oben hin die Zylinderköpfe 6 und 8 der beiden Zylinderbankreihen anschließen. In der Trennebene zwischen Kurbelgehäuseunter- und -oberteil 2, 4 ist die Kurbelwelle 10 gelagert.The exemplary designed as a V8 engine internal combustion engine consists of a crankcase lower part 2 and a crankcase upper part 4, to which connect the cylinder heads 6 and 8 of the two rows of cylinder banks at the top. In the parting plane between Kurbelgehäuseunter- and upper part 2, 4, the crankshaft 10 is mounted.

Zur Lagerung der Kurbelwelle 10 im Kurbelgehäuseunterteil 2, im folgenden als Bedplate bezeichnet, sind quer zur Längsachse 11 der Kurbelwelle 10 verlaufende Lagerstühle 12a bis 12e vorgesehen. In den Lagerstühlen 12a bis 12e sind halbkreisförmige Ausnehmungen 13 zur Aufnahme der Kurbelwelle 10 ausgebildet. Zwischen den Lagerstühlen 12a bis 12e sind einzelne Räume, im folgenden als Ölabsaugräume 14a bis 14d bezeichnet, ausgebildet. Die Ölabsaugräume 14a bis 14d sind nach unten hin durch einen einstückig aus dem Bedplate 2 herausgebildeten Kurbelwannenboden 16 abgeschlossen.For supporting the crankshaft 10 in the crankcase lower part 2, hereinafter referred to as Bedplate, bearing blocks 12a to 12e extending transversely to the longitudinal axis 11 of the crankshaft 10 are provided. Semi-circular recesses 13 for receiving the crankshaft 10 are formed in the bearing blocks 12a to 12e. Between the storage chairs 12a to 12e individual rooms, hereinafter referred to as Ölabsaugräume 14a to 14d formed. The Ölabsaugräume 14 a to 14 d are closed at the bottom by an integrally formed from the Bedplate 2 crankcase bottom 16.

Wie insbes. aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, sind jeweils seitlich im Bedplate 2 zwei Tragrohre 18 und 20 integriert, die mit den Lagerstühlen 12a bis 12e sowie dem Kurbelwannenboden 16 verbunden sind. Die beiden Tragrohre 18 und 20 erstrecken sich dabei in ihrer Längsrichtung über die gesamte Länge des Bedplates 2. Die beiden Tragrohre 18 und 20, die zu einer Erhöhung der Steifigkeit des Bedplates 2 beitragen, dienen der Aufnahme von Aggregaten, die im Folgenden näher beschrieben sind. Im ersten Tragrohr 18 sind jeweils vier Ölabsaugpumpen 22a bis 22d angeordnet. Die als Zahnradpumpen ausgebildeten Ölabsaugpumpen 22a bis 22d weisen ein zylindrisches Gehäuse 24a bis 24d auf, die in das erste Tragrohr 18 eingeschoben sind. Zur Abtrennung sind zwischen den einzelnen Ölabsaugpumpen 22a bis 22d Gehäusedeckel 26a bis 26c vorgesehen. Im Gehäuse 24a bis 24d jeder Ölabsaugpumpe 22a bis 22d sind zur Bildung jeweils einer Absaugstufe zwei miteinander kämmende Zahnräder 28a bis 28d und 30a bis 30d angeordnet. Die Zahnräder 28a bis 28d werden dabei von einer ersten gemeinsamen Welle 32 angetrieben, die durch die zentralen Öffnungen der Zahnräder 28a bis 28d durchgesteckt ist.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, two support tubes 18 and 20, which are connected to the storage chairs 12a to 12e and to the crankcase bottom 16, are integrated laterally in the bed plate 2. The two support tubes 18 and 20 extend in their longitudinal direction over the entire length of the bedplate 2. The two support tubes 18 and 20, which contribute to increasing the rigidity of the bedplate 2, serve to accommodate aggregates, which are described in more detail below , In the first support tube 18 four Ölabsaugpumpen 22a to 22d are arranged in each case. The oil suction pumps 22a to 22d designed as gear pumps have a cylindrical housing 24a to 24d, which are inserted into the first support tube 18. For the separation, housing covers 26a to 26c are provided between the individual oil suction pumps 22a to 22d. In the housing 24a to 24d each Ölabsaugpumpe 22a to 22d are arranged to form a respective extraction stage two intermeshing gears 28a to 28d and 30a to 30d. The gears 28a to 28d are driven by a first common shaft 32 which is inserted through the central openings of the gears 28a to 28d.

An dem - bezogen auf die Darstellung in Fig. 2 - linken Ende der Antriebswelle 32 ist ein Mitnehmer 34 auf die im Querschnitt als Torx-Profil ausgebildete Antriebswelle 32 aufgesteckt, der in einem aus dem Bedplate 2 herausgebildeten Gehäuseflansch 36 drehbar gelagert und drehfest mit einem Zahnritzel 38 verbunden ist.On the - in relation to the illustration in Fig. 2 - left end of the drive shaft 32, a driver 34 is mounted on the cross-section formed as a Torx profile drive shaft 32 which rotatably mounted in a developed out of the Bedplate 2 housing flange 36 and rotatably with a Sprocket 38 is connected.

Die Ölabsaugpumpen 22a bis 22d sind jeweils auf der Höhe der Ölabsaugräume 14a bis 14d angeordnet, wobei die Saugstufe der Ölabsaugpumpen 22a bis 22d mit den einzelnen Ölabsaugräumen 14a bis 14d direkt in Verbindung stehen. Dazu weisen die zylindrischen Gehäuse 24a bis 24d der Ölabsaugpumpen 22a bis 22d sowie das Bedplate 2 entsprechende Ausnehmungen 40 auf, die in Fig. 3 exemplarisch dargestellt sind. Auf der Druckseite jeder Ölabsaugpumpe 22a bis 22d ist in den zylindrischen Gehäusen 24a bis 24d jeweils ein Kanalabschnitt 42a bis 42d vorgesehen, die mit in den zylindrischen Gehäusedeckeln 26a bis 26c eingebrachten Öffnungen 44a bis 44c korrespondieren und insgesamt einen Druckkanal bilden, über den das Schmieröl - wie noch später näher erläutert - abgeführt wird.

Im zweiten Tragrohr 20 ist - von links beginnend - ein Öl-Luft-Separator in Form eines Zentrifugalabscheiders 56 aufgenommen. Der Aufbau und die Wirkungsweise eines derartigen Ölabscheiders 56 ist bekannt und wird daher im folgenden nur kurz umrissen. Durch eine Antriebswelle 58 wird eine konisch verlaufende Trommel 60 des Zentrifugalabscheiders 56 angetrieben. In der Gehäusewand des Zentrifugalabscheiders 56 sind Öffnungen 62 eingebracht, über die, wie später noch näher erläutert, das Schmieröl zu einem Ausgang 64 abgeführt wird. An den Zentrifugalabscheider 56 schließt sich ein mit dem Bezugszeichen 66 versehenes Bauteil an, in dem eine durchgehende Öffnung 68 ausgebildet ist, durch die eine Antriebswelle 58 hindurchgeführt ist. In der Öffnung 68 ist von links nach rechts gesehen ein Wälzlager 70 für die Lagerung der Antriebswelle 58 vorgesehen, das durch einen Sicherungsring 72 in der Öffnung 68 axial festgelegt ist. An das Wälzlager 70 schließt sich zur Abdichtung ein Radialwellendichtring 74 an. Der zum Bauteil 66 gehörende Bauteilabschnitt 66a ist als Lagerschild für eine Wasserpumpe 76 ausgebildet, wobei zur Abdichtung der Wasserpumpe 76 im Bauteilabschnitt 66a in der gestuft ausgebildeten Öffnung 68 ein Gleitringdichtpaket 78 aufgenommen ist. Am stirnseitigen Ende des Bauteilabschnittes 66a ist auf der Antriebswelle 58 das Förderrad 80 der Wasserpumpe 76 befestigt. Auf der den Leitschaufeln 82 des Förderrades 80 zugewandten Stirnseite schließt sich ein Strömungsleitstutzen 84 an, der zur Trennung von Saug- und Druckseite 86, 87 der Wasserpumpe 76 dicht an die Leitschaufeln 82 der Wasserpumpe 76 herangeführt ist. An den Strömungsleitstutzen 84 schließt sich ein Thermostatgehäuse 88 an, dessen Ventilkörper 89 in Abhängigkeit von der Wassertemperatur wahlweise einen Ausgang 90 oder Ausgang 92 für den kleinen und großen Kühlkreislauf freigibt oder sperrt. Am Ende wird das zweite Tragrohr 20 wiederum durch ein Deckelelement 94 verschlossen, das einen Anschlussstutzen 96 für einen Heizungskreislauf aufweist.In the second support tube 20 - starting from the left - an oil-air separator in the form of a Zentrifugalabscheiders 56 was added. The structure and operation of such a Ölabscheiders 56 is known and will therefore only briefly outlined below. By a drive shaft 58, a conical drum 60 of the centrifugal 56 is driven. In the housing wall of Zentrifugalabscheiders 56 openings 62 are introduced, via which, as explained in more detail later, the lubricating oil is discharged to an output 64. The centrifugal separator 56 is adjoined by a component designated by the reference numeral 66, in which a through opening 68 is formed, through which a drive shaft 58 is passed. In the opening 68 is seen from left to right a rolling bearing 70 for the storage of the drive shaft 58 is provided which is axially fixed by a retaining ring 72 in the opening 68. The rolling bearing 70 is followed by a radial shaft sealing ring 74 for sealing. The component part 66a belonging to the component part 66a is designed as a bearing plate for a water pump 76, wherein a mechanical seal package 78 is accommodated for sealing the water pump 76 in the component part 66a in the stepped opening 68. At the front end of the component portion 66a, the feed wheel 80 of the water pump 76 is mounted on the drive shaft 58. On the guide vanes 82 of the feed wheel 80 facing the end face is followed by a Strömungsleitstutzen 84 which is brought close to the separation of suction and discharge side 86, 87 of the water pump 76 to the guide vanes 82 of the water pump 76. At the flow guide 84, a thermostat housing 88 connects, the valve body 89 depending on the water temperature optionally an output 90 or output 92 for the small and large cooling circuit releases or blocks. At the end, the second support tube 20 is in turn closed by a cover member 94 having a connection piece 96 for a heating circuit.

An dem Zahnräder- oder Kettenschacht 48 zugeordneten Ende der Antriebswelle 58 ist aus dem Bedplate 2 wiederum ein Gehäuseflansch 98 herausgebildet, in dem ein auf die Antriebswelle 58 aufgesteckter Mitnehmer 100 drehbar gelagert ist. Am Ende des Mitnehmers 100 ist ein zweites Zahnritzel 101 befestigt, welches zusammen mit dem ersten Zahnritzel 38 über einen gemeinsamen Kettentrieb angetrieben ist.At the gear or chain shaft 48 associated end of the drive shaft 58, a housing flange 98 is again formed from the Bedplate 2, in which a plugged onto the drive shaft 58 driver 100 is rotatably mounted. At the end of the driver 100, a second pinion 101 is fixed, which is driven together with the first pinion 38 via a common chain drive.

Abschließend wird noch der als Trockensumpfschmierung ausgebildete Ölkreislauf erläutert:

  • Das in den einzelnen Ölabsaugräumen 14a bis 14d aufgefangene Schmieröl wird über die Ölabsaugpumpen 22a bis 22d abgesaugt und über den Druckkanal 42 und eine nicht dargestellte Druckleitung, die symbolisch mit der gestrichelten Linie 102 dargestellt ist, auf die andere Seite des Bedplates 2 in den Zentrifugalabscheider 56 geführt. Das im Zahnräder- oder Kettenschacht 48 angesammelte Schmieröl wird ebenfalls mit Hilfe der Ölabsaugpumpe 46 über den Druckkanal 42 dem Zentrifugalabscheider 56 zugeführt. Durch die rotierende Trommel 60 des Zentrifugalabscheiders 56 wird das Schmieröl über die Öffnungen 62 nach außen gegen die Innenwand des Tragrohres 20 geschleudert und fließt dann über den Ausgang 64 ab (siehe Linie 102a), der mit einem nicht dargestellten Öltank verbunden ist. Die Gasbestandteile - wie anhand der Linie 102b dargestellt - werden über einen Ausgang 104 abgeführt. Mit Hilfe der Ölförderpumpe 52 wird das im Öltank befindliche Schmieröl wieder den Verbrauchern, wie z.B. den Hauptlagern der Kurbelwelle, zugeführt.
Finally, the oil circuit designed as dry sump lubrication is explained:
  • The collected in the individual Ölabsaugräumen 14a to 14d lubricating oil is sucked through the Ölabsaugpumpen 22a to 22d and via the pressure channel 42 and a pressure line, not shown, which is symbolically represented by the dashed line 102, on the other side of the Bedplates 2 in the Zentrifugalabscheider 56th guided. The accumulated in the gear or chain shaft 48 lubricating oil is also supplied with the aid of the Ölabsaugpumpe 46 via the pressure passage 42 to the Zentrifugalabscheider 56. By the rotating drum 60 of the Zentrifugalabscheiders 56, the lubricating oil is thrown through the openings 62 outwardly against the inner wall of the support tube 20 and then flows through the output 64 (see line 102 a), which is connected to an oil tank, not shown. The gas components - as shown by line 102b - are discharged via an output 104. With the help of the oil feed pump 52 is in the Oil tank located lubricating oil back to consumers, such as the main bearings of the crankshaft fed.
