Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Modul zur Druckumlaufschmierung einer Brennkraftmaschine, bestehend aus zumindest einer Ölpumpe und einem Ölfiltergehäuse mit einem Ölfilter, die im freien Bauraum innerhalb einer im unteren Bereich des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses angeordneten Ölwanne angeordnet sind und wobei die Ölpumpe und das Ölfiltergehäuse sowie Bauteile zur Verbindung von Ölpumpe und Ölfilter auf einem gemeinsamen Trägerkörper befestigt sind, der mit der Brennkraftmaschine verbindbar ist.The invention relates to a module for pressure circulation lubrication of an internal combustion engine, comprising at least one oil pump and an oil filter housing with an oil filter, which are arranged in the free space within a arranged in the lower region of the cylinder crankcase oil pan and the oil pump and the oil filter housing and components for connecting oil pump and oil filters are mounted on a common carrier body, which is connectable to the internal combustion engine.

Brennkraftmaschinen für den Einsatz in Kraftfahrzeugen weisen überwiegend eine Druckumlaufschmierung auf, wobei den Lagerstellen mittels einer Ölpumpe Öl zugeführt wird. Dem Ölumlauf ist ein Ölfilter zugeordnet, mit dem Verbrennungsrückstände, Abrieb und ähnliche Fremdpartikel aus dem Öl entfernt werden, um dessen Wirksamkeit als Schmiermittel zu gewährleisten und folglich den Verschleiß in den Lagerstellen gering zu halten. Nach dem druckbeaufschlagten Umlauf sammelt sich das Öl in der Ölwanne, die im unteren Bereich des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses angeordnet und zur Kühlung und Entschäumung des Öls sowie als Vorratsbehälter konzipiert ist.Internal combustion engines for use in motor vehicles predominantly have a pressure circulation lubrication, the bearings being supplied with oil by means of an oil pump. The oil circulation is associated with an oil filter, with the combustion residues, abrasion and similar foreign particles are removed from the oil to ensure its effectiveness as a lubricant and thus to keep the wear in the bearings low. After the pressurized circulation, the oil collects in the oil sump, which is arranged in the lower area of the cylinder crankcase and designed for cooling and defoaming of the oil and as a reservoir.

Unabhängig von ihrer jeweils konkreten Konstruktion werden die Baugruppen einer Druckumlaufschmierung zumeist als Einzelkomponenten ausgestaltet, beispielsweise als separate Ölwanne, Ölpumpe oder als separater Ölfilter. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung erfordert allerdings einen erheblichen Bauraum, so dass bereits mehrfach eine bauliche Integration der entsprechenden Baugruppen vorgeschlagen worden ist, um den nur bedingt verfügbaren freien Bauraum besser nutzen zu können.Regardless of their particular design, the assemblies of a pressure circulation lubrication are usually designed as individual components, for example as a separate oil pan, oil pump or as a separate oil filter. Such a configuration, however, requires a considerable amount of space, so that already several times a structural integration of the corresponding modules has been proposed in order to make better use of the limited available free space.

Aus WO 02 / 103 170 A1 ist eine Brennkraftmaschine bekannt, bei der im Ölsumpf innerhalb der Ölwanne ein Ölfilter angeordnet ist. Dieser Ölfilter ist als Lebensdauerfilter (sog. "Lifetime-Ölfilter") ausgestaltet, der während der gesamten Nutzungsdauer der Brennkraftmaschine keinen Filterwechsel erfordert. Demzufolge sind im Gehäuse der Ölwanne keine zusätzlichen Wartungsöffnungen für den Ölfilter notwendig. Für die Abstützung des Ölfiltergehäuses sind jedoch spezielle Befestigungsmittel an der Innenwand der Ölwanne erforderlich, so dass sich zusätzliche Aufwendungen bezüglich Konstruktion und Herstellung der Ölwanne ergeben.Out WO 02/103 170 A1 An internal combustion engine is known in which an oil filter is arranged in the oil sump within the oil sump. This oil filter is designed as a service life filter (so-called "lifetime oil filter"), which does not require a filter change during the entire service life of the internal combustion engine. Consequently, no additional maintenance openings for the oil filter are necessary in the housing of the oil pan. For the support of the oil filter housing are However, special fasteners on the inner wall of the oil pan required, so that there are additional expenses in terms of design and manufacture of the oil pan.

Aus GB 2 352 806 A ist ein Ölsumpf eines Getriebes bekannt, bei dem innerhalb der Ölwanne ein Ölfilter angeordnet ist. Dieser Ölfilter ist als Lebensdauerfilter ausgestaltet, der während der gesamten Nutzungsdauer der Brennkraftmaschine keinen Filterwechsel erfordert. Demzufolge sind im Gehäuse der Ölwanne keine zusätzlichen Wartungsöffnungen für den Ölfilter notwendig. Der Ölfilter ist mittels einer Platte auf den Flansch der Ölwanne in diese eingelegt und wird in montierter Position mittels der Ölwanne zwischen dem Getriebe und der Ölwanne gehalten.Out GB 2 352 806 A is an oil sump of a transmission known in which an oil filter is disposed within the oil pan. This oil filter is designed as a lifetime filter that does not require a filter change during the entire service life of the internal combustion engine. Consequently, no additional maintenance openings for the oil filter are necessary in the housing of the oil pan. The oil filter is inserted into the oil pan flange by means of a plate and is held in the mounted position by means of the oil sump between the gearbox and the sump.

In DE 196 19 977 C2 wird eine Brennkraftmaschine beschrieben, bei der sowohl der Ölfilter als auch die Ölpumpe in die Ölwanne geschraubt werden. Hierbei können als Ölfilter alternativ Wechselfilter oder Lifetime-Filter verwendet werden, so dass zumindest bei der zweiten Variante ebenfalls keine Wartungsöffnungen für den Ölfilter notwendig sind. Allerdings werden die Ölpumpe und das Ölfiltergehäuse direkt mit der Ölwanne verbunden, so dass auch hier eine spezifische Konstruktion der Ölwanne mit entsprechenden Befestigungsmitteln erforderlich ist.In DE 196 19 977 C2 An internal combustion engine is described in which both the oil filter and the oil pump are screwed into the oil pan. In this case can be used as an oil filter alternatively replaceable filter or lifetime filter, so that at least in the second variant also no maintenance openings for the oil filter are necessary. However, the oil pump and the oil filter housing are connected directly to the oil pan, so that here, too, a specific construction of the oil pan with appropriate fasteners is required.

In DE 197 04 209 A1 wird ebenfalls vorgeschlagen, dass der Ölfilter und die Ölpumpe innerhalb der Ölwanne angeordnet sind. In einer ersten Ausführung werden diese Baugruppen direkt an der Innenwand der Ölwanne abgestützt. Hingegen ist in einer zweiten Ausführung vorgesehen, dass Ölfiltergehäuse und Ölpumpe sowie die Bauteile zur Verbindung von Ölfilter und Ölpumpe zu einem gemeinsamen Modul zusammengefasst sind. Dabei weist das Modul einen Trägerkörper auf, an dem die einzelnen Baugruppen befestigt sind und der mit der Brennkraftmaschine mittels einer Schraub-, Steck-, Schnapp- oder Schweißverbindung verbindbar ist. Somit können die jeweiligen Baugruppen der Druckumlaufschmierung räumlich und zeitlich unabhängig vom eigentlichen Fertigungsprozess der Brennkraftmaschine bereits als separate Einheit vormontiert werden, so dass grundsätzlich Kosten- und Montagevorteile möglich sind. Allerdings wird der Trägerkörper durch eine bauliche Modifizierung des ohnehin kostenintensiven Ölpumpengehäuses geschaffen, so dass sich letztlich zusätzliche Aufwendungen für die Konstruktion und Herstellung der Ölpumpe ergeben.In DE 197 04 209 A1 It is also proposed that the oil filter and the oil pump are arranged inside the oil sump. In a first embodiment, these assemblies are supported directly on the inner wall of the oil pan. In contrast, it is provided in a second embodiment that oil filter housing and oil pump and the components for connecting the oil filter and oil pump are combined to form a common module. In this case, the module has a carrier body to which the individual modules are attached and which can be connected to the internal combustion engine by means of a screw, plug, snap or welded connection. Thus, the respective components of the pressure circulation lubrication can be pre-assembled spatially and temporally independent of the actual manufacturing process of the internal combustion engine as a separate unit, so that in principle cost and installation advantages are possible. However, the support body is created by a structural modification of the already costly oil pump housing, so that ultimately additional costs for the design and manufacture of the oil pump arise.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Modul für Baugruppen zur Druckumlaufschmierung zu schaffen, das einen einfachen und kostengünstig herstellbaren Trägerkörper mit der Funktion eines Ölhobels aufweist, der ohne konstruktive Änderungen der Ölwanne an einer Brennkraftmaschine befestigbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a module for assemblies for pressure circulation lubrication, which has a simple and inexpensive to produce carrier body with the function of an oil planer, which can be fastened without structural changes of the oil pan to an internal combustion engine.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem der Trägerkörper als ein separates Schwallblech ausgestattet ist, wobei im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung unter dem Begriff "Schwallblech" verschiedenartig ausgestaltete Baugruppen mit der Funktion eines sog. "Ölhobels" verstanden werden. Somit wird eine kompakte Modulbauweise von Ölpumpe, Ölfiltergehäuse mit Ölfilter und Schwallblech realisiert. Die Ölpumpe kann alternativ als eine geregelte oder ungeregelte Pumpe ausgestaltet werden. Für den Ölfilter können unterschiedliche Filterwerkstoffe verwendet werden, beispielsweise Metalle, Glasfasern oder auch Vliese.This object is achieved by the carrier body is equipped as a separate baffle plate, in the context of the present invention, the term "baffle plate" variously configured assemblies with the function of a so-called. "Oil planer" are understood. Thus, a compact modular design of oil pump, oil filter housing with oil filter and baffle is realized. The oil pump may alternatively be configured as a regulated or unregulated pump. For the oil filter different filter materials can be used, for example metals, glass fibers or nonwovens.

Durch den Entfall der bisher separat angeordneten Ölfilterbaugruppen wird der Bauraumbedarf vorteilhaft reduziert. Gleichzeitig ist eine Zuordnung weiterer Baugruppen, beispielsweise einer Vakuumpumpe, möglich.By eliminating the previously separately arranged oil filter assemblies, the space requirement is advantageously reduced. At the same time an assignment of other modules, such as a vacuum pump is possible.

Der erfindungsgemäße Trägerkörper kann mit geringem Bauteil- und Kostenaufwand aus unterschiedlichen Eisen- oder Nichteisenmetallen oder auch aus Kunststoffen hergestellt und ohne bauliche Änderungen der Ölwanne an einer Brennkraftmaschine befestigt werden. Dabei wird dieser als Schwallblech ausgestaltete Trägerkörper an der Unterseite des Zylinderkurbelgehäuses vorzugsweise mit einer Schraubverbindung oder einer Clipverbindung befestigt, Ebenso ist es möglich, dass das Schwallblech mittels einer Schraubverbindung an den Lagerstühlen befestigt wird, wodurch insbesondere eine bessere Steifigkeit und akustische Vorteile erzielt werden.The carrier body according to the invention can be made with little component and cost of different ferrous or non-ferrous metals or plastics and fixed without structural changes of the oil pan to an internal combustion engine. In this case, this configured as a baffle carrier body is attached to the underside of the cylinder crankcase, preferably with a screw or a clip connection, It is also possible that the baffle plate is fastened by means of a screw connection to the storage chairs, which in particular a better rigidity and acoustic advantages are achieved.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass als Ölfilter ein Lifetime-Ölfilter verwendet wird, der während der gesamten Nutzungsdauer der Brennkraftmaschine keinen Filterwechsel erfordert. Ein weiterer Vorteil eines solchen Lifetime-Ölfilters ist, dass im Gehäuse der Ölwanne keine Öffnungen zur Wartung des Ölfilters ausgestaltet werden müssen.Furthermore, it is proposed that a lifetime oil filter is used as the oil filter, which does not require a filter change during the entire service life of the internal combustion engine. Another advantage of such a lifetime oil filter is that in the housing of the oil pan no openings for maintenance of the oil filter must be configured.

Aus der Zeichnung ist ersichtlich, dass der Trägerkörper als separates Schwallblech 6 ausgestaltet ist, das mit der Brennkraftmaschine verbindbar ist. Dies erfolgt, indem das Schwallblech 6 an der Unterseite vom Zylinderkurbelgehäuse 1 befestigt wird. Diese Befestigung kann verschiedenartig realisiert werden. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung gemäß Fig. 1 und Fig. 3 erfolgt eine Verbindung mit mehreren Schrauben 7. Ebenso kann das Schwallblech 6 mittels einer Clipverbindung am Zylinderkurbelgehäuse 1 befestigt werden, wobei eine solche Variante in der Zeichnung allerdings nicht näher dargestellt ist.

This is done by the baffle 6 is attached to the bottom of the cylinder crankcase 1. This attachment can be realized in various ways. In a preferred embodiment according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 Likewise, the baffle 6 can be attached by means of a clip connection to the cylinder crankcase 1, wherein such a variant is not shown in detail in the drawing. As a further alternative, it is possible to attach the baffle plate 6 by means of a screw connection to the storage chairs. In this context, it should again be pointed out that the term "baffle plate" according to the present invention is not understood to mean only actual baffles, but fundamentally different and constructed of different materials assemblies with the function of a so-called. "Oil planer".

Dem Ölfiltergehäuse 4 wird ein Lifetime-Ölfilter zugeordnet, der während der gesamten Nutzungsdauer der Brennkraftmaschine ohne Filterwechsel funktionswirksam ist.The oil filter housing 4 is associated with a lifetime oil filter, which is functional during the entire useful life of the internal combustion engine without changing the filter.
