Definitions

  • This invention relates to an oil mist separator.
  • a blowby gas including unburnt component which is leaked from a combustion chamber into a crank case is introduced to an intake system of the engine, and burned.
  • the blowby gas passing through the inside of the crank case includes oil mist.
  • an oil mist separator disposed within a cylinder head cover, and arranged to separate and remove the oil mist within the blowby gas.
  • an oil mist separator including an oil mist separator section including an impact plate extending within a separator chamber in an upward direction, and an impact plate extending within the separator chamber in a downward direction. With this, this oil mist separator curves a flow of the blowby gas so as to separate the oil mist from the blowby gas. Furthermore, a patent document 2 ( Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2009- 121281 ) discloses an oil mist separator including a separation wall which is provided within a separation chamber, and a plurality of passage holes which are opened in the separation wall for further promoting the separation and the removal of the oil mist.
  • the blowby gas passes through these passage holes, so that the flow speed of the blowby gas is increased. Then, the blowby gas is impeded on the impact plate on a downstream side of the separation wall so as to separate and remove the oil mist.
  • the oil separated by these oil mist separation sections is discharged from the oil mist separator through a drain pipe provided at the bottom wall of the oil mist separator, and returned into the inside of the internal combustion engine.
  • the blowby gas from which the oil mist is removed is discharged from the oil mist separator to the intake system.
  • a pressure loss generated in the oil mist separation section is increased.
  • a pressure loss between the upstream side and the downstream side of the separation wall becomes large.
  • the pressure of the downstream side portion of the oil mist separator which is positioned on the downstream side of the separation wall is lowered by this pressure loss.
  • the pressure difference between the oil mist separator downstream side portion and the inside of the internal combustion engine becomes large.
  • the blowby gas flows through an opening of a tip end of the drain pipe into the oil mist separator downstream side portion by this pressure difference.
  • the oil within the drain pipe may flow into the oil mist separator. It is possible to prevent the reverse flow of the oil by lengthening the length of the drain pipe. However, when the drain pipe is lengthened, the drain pipe is interfered with components of the internal combustion engine which are positioned below the head cover. Accordingly, this is not preferable.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an oil mist separator devised to solve the above mentioned problem, and to prevent the backflow of the separated oil into the oil mist separator chamber..

  • the drain pipe 38 extends in a cylindrical shape from the bottom wall 34 in the downward direction.
  • a check valve 42 is provided at a lower end of this drain pipe 38. The check valve 42 is arranged to be opened and closed by a pressure difference between the oil mist separator 10 (the outlet chamber 22) and the inside of the engine, and the weight of the stored oil.
  • the blowby gas flowing within the separator chamber 14 from the blowby gas inlet 15 to the blowby gas outlet 16 becomes a high speed by the throttled (decreased) passage area of the passage holes 23 of the separation wall 20, and then impedes the impact plate 24.

  • the blowby gas from which the oil mist is removed is discharged from the oil mist separator 10 through the blowby gas outlet 16. Then, when the driving condition is varied so that the internal combustion engine becomes the low load such as the idling state, the amount of the blowby gas passing through the oil mist separation section 25 becomes less, the pressure loss due to the oil mist separation section 25 is decreased. Accordingly, the pressure difference between the inlet chamber 21 and the outlet chamber 22, that is, the pressure difference between the inside of the engine and the outlet chamber 22 becomes small. Consequently, the check valve 42 is moved in the downward direction by the weight of the oil so as to open the oil discharge holes 38a. The oil stored in the oil recovering chamber 30 is discharged through the drain pipe 38 into the inside of the engine.
