Definitions
- the disclosure relates to an oil supply system for valve lash adjusters
- Hydraulic lifters in an internal combustion engine are Hydraulic lifters in an internal combustion engine.
- An oil supply system is to be understood as a system which is designed to provide oil under pressure and pressure in an internal combustion engine for the following, non-exhaustive list of functions:
- the oil supply system can have an oil pump as well as numerous lines that are fluidly connected to a pressure side of the oil pump.
- the lines can be formed by pipes and by bores in an engine block or a cylinder head and a camshaft module.
- a camshaft is rotatably mounted in the camshaft module.
- the camshaft is driven by a camshaft drive wheel.
- the camshaft drive wheel is often coupled to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine in a rotationally fixed manner. This can be done using a toothed belt, a chain and, in newer applications, spur gears.
- US 5,143,034 A, US 5,031, 586 A and US 4,729,349 A are known from the prior art.
- DE 44 28 681 A1 also discloses a cylinder head assembly with a camshaft.
- the camshaft housing is equipped with a functional unit consisting of an oil reserve chamber and an oil chamber, which serves as a degassing device.
- the oil reserve chamber is connected on the one hand to one end of an upper oil duct and, on the other hand, to the outlet of an oil pump via further oil ducts. Another end of this upper oil passage communicates with a cam bearing of the camshaft housing.
- oil gets from the oil chamber to an oil gallery of a hydraulic adjustment device for the intake and exhaust valves.
- an oil supply system for valve lash adjusters of an internal combustion engine comprising a first supply line which fluidly connects an oil pump outlet to an assembly of a camshaft drive, a second supply line which leads fluidly from a branch of the first supply line to an oil gallery for the valve lash adjusters.
- the branch is arranged in an operational installation position of the internal combustion engine above the oil gallery of the valve lifter-adjusting hydraulic tappets.
- the camshaft drive wheel can have means for adjusting an angle between the drive of the camshaft drive wheel and the camshaft.
- the means are known as camshaft adjustment or OAM phaser.
- the camshaft adjustment is driven by oil under pressure.
- the oil is typically the same oil that is provided through the oil supply system.
- the lines are arranged so that it is under sufficient pressure at the appropriate engine speed to actuate the camshaft adjustment.
- Valve lash adjusters are oil-fillable elements located in a load path between a camshaft and an intake or exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine.
- the load path can be direct, that is, the hydraulic tappet can be located between a valve stem and a camshaft section.
- the cams move the valves indirectly via rocker arms, which are mounted on one side on the hydraulic tappets and on the other side on the valve stem.
- Hydraulic lifters are flooded with oil.
- the oil acts as a damper and as a length compensation in the load path between the camshaft and the valve stem. If there is no or too little oil in the hydraulic tappet, the load path is not closed or has play. This is noticeable when the internal combustion engine is running by a clacking noise at half the frequency of an engine speed. This noise can be heard in numerous internal combustion engines, especially during a short phase after starting the engine.
- the assembly can be an assembly that requires oil under a certain hydraulic pressure.
- the oil gallery is a branched system of holes that end at the hydraulic lifters and are connected in a fluid-conducting manner to an oil inlet of the hydraulic lifters.
- the branch is an area in which a part or section of the first supply line continues to the assembly and a part or section forms the second supply line. Because the branch is located above the oil gallery, it does not run empty when the internal combustion engine is stationary, in which no oil is being pumped.
- the branch is located above the oil gallery means that when the internal combustion engine is at a standstill, if the oil pump does not deliver oil through the first supply line, oil remains in the second supply line or the oil gallery. It slowly runs off due to leakage in the hydraulic tappets, but at least the oil in the second supply line can flow in under the force of gravity.
- the second supply line has a first line section which opens into an oil volume which is larger than the first line section in cross-section, the oil volume being connected to the oil gallery in a fluid-conducting manner.
- the oil volume stores a larger amount of oil than a pipe with a relatively small cross-section that is constant from the branch to the oil gallery. This further extends the time until the second supply line has run empty.
- the increased volume of oil is replaced by one in one
- Camshaft module arranged free space formed.
- the camshaft module is a module that is screwed onto the cylinder head and in which the camshaft is mounted.
- Bearings for the camshaft are located in the camshaft module; depending on the configuration, these bearings can be arranged in half shells, with an upper half shell in the camshaft module and a lower half shell in the
- Cylinder head are arranged. There are lines or
- the free space can be preformed in the camshaft module in a master molding process (die casting, sand casting, etc.) or can be introduced by a milling or drilling process.
- the increased oil volume is located above a seal between a cylinder head and the camshaft module.
- a throttle is arranged in the second supply line between the oil volume and the oil gallery.
- the throttle prevents accidental opening of the intake and exhaust valves by reducing the pressure in the hydraulic tappets. Because the
- Supply line for the hydraulic tappet is arranged above the oil gallery, a throttle can be used from above in a simple manner.
- the throttle is formed by a section of the seal.
- the oil supply system according to the disclosure is in principle created by components which are present in almost every engine, merely by a design change, at least to the camshaft module, possibly also to the seal and the cylinder head.
- a section of the seal can be in the
- Interaction with the cylinder head or the camshaft module can be used as a throttle. More parts are not required, and there is even a cost saving by using less material for the oil volume.
- the throttle is formed by an opening arranged in the seal.
- the assembly is a camshaft adjustment, which is designed to adjust a camshaft drive wheel in relation to a camshaft.
- the camshaft adjustment is supplied with oil at least for cooling and lubrication, for example if it is an electrically operated camshaft adjustment.
- camshaft adjustment can be a hydraulic camshaft adjustment working with pressurized oil.
- camshaft adjusters oil is fed from the first supply line either into a first valve via a generally electrically operated valve, which is incorporated in the camshaft module, and the camshaft adjuster towards an earlier opening time of an input. or exhaust valve or into a second working chamber which adjusts the camshaft adjustment in the direction of a later opening time.
- This type of camshaft adjustment requires a certain oil pressure.
- the correspondingly pressurized oil according to this disclosure is pressed down into the first supply line, possibly by a throttle, possibly by the increased oil volume, into the oil gallery for supplying the hydraulic tappets.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows an oil supply system in which a first supply line for a hydraulic camshaft adjustment has a branch from which a second supply line supplies an oil gallery of the hydraulic tappet with oil;
- Fig. 2 in section an area of a cylinder head with an area of a
- Camshaft module and a seal arranged between them, which also acts as a throttle;
- Fig. 3 in section an area of a cylinder head with an area of a
- Camshaft module being in a free space in the camshaft module
- a supply line can be implemented through a hole in a component or through a pipe connected to it.
- Figure 1 shows an oil supply system 1 for supplying a camshaft 2 with oil.
- the oil is required by some components as a coolant and lubricant, for example cams 3, which actuate a valve 5 via a load path 4.
- the valve 5 can be an intake or an exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine, which is otherwise not shown.
- the hydraulic tappet 6 is filled with oil in order to compensate for any play in load path 4.
- Oil is conveyed to an outlet 9 via an oil pump 8.
- the outlet 9 is fluidly connected to a first supply line 10.
- the first supply line 10 runs essentially counter to the
- the first supply line 10 is predominantly formed by bores and free spaces arranged in the cylinder head 11 or the camshaft module 12.
- the camshaft 2 is driven via a camshaft drive wheel 7.
- Camshaft drive wheel 7 can be driven in a manner not shown via a toothed belt, a chain or spur gears. There is a camshaft adjustment 14 in the camshaft drive wheel 7.
- the camshaft adjustment 14 is designed to:
- camshaft adjustment 14 either in the direction of an earlier opening time of the valve 5 or in the direction of a later one
- the adjustment requires the camshaft adjustment 14 oil under pressure.
- the oil under pressure is conducted by the oil pump 8 through the first supply line 10 to the camshaft adjustment 14 during operation of the internal combustion engine.
- oil reaches a second supply line 20 and from there throttled into an oil gallery 16, which is connected in a fluid-conducting manner to the hydraulic tappets 6.
- the oil gallery 16 supplies several hydraulic tappets 6, only two of which are shown as examples.
- the oil gallery 16 is predominantly introduced into the camshaft module 12
- elements are arranged which extend and lengthen the running of oil into the oil gallery 16.
- an amount of oil that can run on is increased by the provision of an enlarged oil volume 17.
- a throttle 18 ensures that oil runs into the oil gallery 16 at a reduced pressure.
- FIG. 2 shows a section through a region of a cylinder head 11 and a camshaft module 12.
- a section of the first supply line 10 is formed by a bore 21 arranged in the cylinder head.
- the first supply line 10 continues through a seal 22 into a free space 23 in the camshaft module 12.
- the free space 23 forms the oil volume 17 described in connection with FIG Way on a camshaft adjustment 14th
- a section 25 of the seal 22 between the cylinder head 1 1 and the camshaft module 12 acts as a throttle 18.
- an opening 26 is provided in the seal 22 with a predefined diameter designed according to the desired throttling effect.
- the oil pump 8 (see also FIG. 1) delivers oil through the first connecting line 10, the bore 21 in the cylinder head 11 and the bore 24 in the camshaft module 12
- Camshaft adjustment 14 (see Figure 1). The oil collects in the free space 23 until the free space 23 is full. From there, oil flows throttled through opening 26 into the
- Oil gallery 16 through a bore 17 in the cylinder head 1 1. If the oil pump 8 (see FIG. 1) does not deliver, an oil volume 17 or a bore 20 above the oil gallery 16 remains filled with oil.
- FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment in which an intermediate element 28 is arranged in the free space 23 in the camshaft module 12.
- the intermediate element 28 seals at the bottom of the seal 22. Oil can be branched off above the intermediate element 28 and pass through the throttle 18 into the bore 20 or the oil gallery 16, which is connected in a fluid-conducting manner to the bore 20, and thus to the hydraulic tappets 6.
- the intermediate element 28 increases the oil volume 17, which can run into the oil gallery 16 when the oil pump 8 stops.
