Definitions

  • the invention relates to an internal combustion engine with an oil supply for a cam drive.
  • Such an oil supply to a cam drive is also shown in particular in Fig. 3 shown.
  • the object of the present invention is achieved by an internal combustion engine with a camshaft and at least two flat tappets that are driven by the camshaft and actuate the combustion valves, the flat tappets and / or the camshaft being guided and / or supported in the cylinder crankcase, the flat tappet being essentially in a Receiving bore is arranged in the cylinder crankcase and the flat tappets have at least one constriction and are designed to be lubricated by means of an oil supply.
  • the advantage here is that in the Area of the constriction oil is provided to lubricate the running surface of the cam.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that the flat tappet is movably arranged for guidance or mounting, in particular in the area of at least one shaft section.
  • Another advantageous embodiment provides that the shaft section is arranged above a constriction of the flat tappet.
  • An advantageous embodiment provides that one oil supply recess is arranged on the side on which the transverse force forms the smallest play and the other oil supply recess is arranged on the cam run-up side on which the transverse force forms the greatest play. There is almost no play on one side at the upper and lower end of the tappet - opposite each other - and the total play on the other side, so that the greatest possible amount of lubricating oil can be fed to the sliding point between the flat tappet and camshaft.
  • a cylinder crankcase of the internal combustion engine 1 is shown, in which a clockwise rotating camshaft 2 is mounted.
  • a substantially vertically displaceable flat tappet 3 is mounted on the running surface of the camshaft 2 in the cylinder crankcase of the internal combustion engine 1, in particular in a receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5.
  • the oil supply 4 from the flat tappet 3 in the cylinder crankcase of the internal combustion engine 1 and the sliding point between the flat tappet 3 and camshaft 2 is arranged in the area of the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5 and the constriction of the flat tappet 10 moving up and down with the flat tappet 3.
  • the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5, in which the movable flat tappet 3 is arranged, has an oil supply recess on the cam follower side (smaller) 6 and an oil supply recess on the cam follower side (larger) 7, by means of which oil reaches the sliding point between the flat tappet 3 and camshaft 2 .
  • the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5 has, at its end inclined towards the camshaft, a shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam follower side 8 and a shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam follower side 9.
  • the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam follow-up side 8 and the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-up side 9 can be of the same length.
  • the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam outlet side 8 is smaller than the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-up side 9.
  • a larger amount of oil from the oil supply 4 reaches the area via the annular gap between the flat tappet 3 and the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5 of the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-up side 9 than in the area of the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-out side 8, since the shorter shaft section 9 and the lower pressure loss mean that more oil gets into the larger oil supply recess on the cam run-up side 7.
  • the larger oil supply recess on the cam run-up side 7 can be designed as a groove or notch or as an eccentric hole, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 will be shown.
  • Fig. 2a shows a cylinder crankcase of the internal combustion engine 1 without a camshaft.
  • the flat tappet not shown, is mounted in a receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5.
  • the oil supply 4 from the flat tappet 3, not shown, in the cylinder crankcase of the internal combustion engine 1 and the sliding point, also not shown, between the flat tappet 3 and camshaft 2 is arranged in the area of the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5 and the constriction of the flat tappet 10 moving up and down with the flat tappet 3.
  • the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5, in which the movable flat tappet 3, not shown, is arranged, has an oil supply recess on the cam follower side (smaller) 6 and an oil supply recess on the cam run-up side (larger) 7, by means of which oil is applied to the sliding point between the flat tappet 3 and Camshaft 2 arrives.
  • the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5 has on its side inclined towards the camshaft, not shown, oil supply recesses which are produced by means of a drill, the drilling path 11 of which is shown schematically.
  • the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-out side 8 is smaller than the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-up side 9 due to the inclined drilling of the drill bit 11 Receiving hole in the cylinder crankcase 5 in the area of the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-up side 9 than in the area of the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-out side 8, since more oil gets into the larger oil supply recess on the cam run-up side 7 due to the shorter shaft section 9 and the lower pressure loss.
  • the larger oil supply recess on the cam run-up side 7 can be designed as a groove or notch or as an eccentric bore.
  • Figure 2b shows an enlarged detail of Fig. 2a , whereby the drill path of the drill is not shown.
  • Fig. 3a shows a cylinder crankcase of the internal combustion engine 1 without a camshaft.
  • the flat tappet not shown, is mounted in a receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5.
  • the oil supply 4 from the flat tappet 3, not shown, in the cylinder crankcase of the internal combustion engine 1 and the sliding point, also not shown, between the flat tappet 3 and camshaft 2 is arranged in the area of the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5 and the constriction of the flat tappet 10 moving up and down with the flat tappet 3.
  • the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5, in which the movable flat tappet 3, not shown, is arranged, has an oil supply recess on the cam run-up side (larger) 7, by means of which oil reaches the sliding point between the flat tappet 3 and camshaft 2.
  • the receiving bore in the cylinder crankcase 5 has on its side inclined towards the camshaft, not shown, an oil supply recess 7 which is produced by means of a drill, the drilling path 11 of which is shown schematically.
  • the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-out side 8 is smaller than the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-up side 9 due to the inclined drilling of the drill bit 11 Receiving hole in the cylinder crankcase 5 in the area and shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-up side 9 than in the region of the shaft section of the cylinder crankcase on the cam run-out side 8, since more oil gets into the larger oil supply recess on the cam run-up side 7 due to the shorter shaft section 9 and the lower pressure loss.
  • the larger oil supply recess on the cam run-up side 7 can be designed as a groove or notch or as an eccentric bore.
  • Figure 3b shows an enlarged detail of Fig. 3a , whereby the drill path of the drill is not shown.
