Description

MOTEUR A COMBUSTION pool L'invention concerne un groupe moteur, notamment pour un véhicule automobile. [0002] Différents groupes moteurs sont connus, avec un moteur à combustion interne et une pompe à huile, la pompe à huile étant entraînée par un vilebrequin du moteur le moteur par l'intermédiaire d'une chaîne. [0003] Malgré sa simplicité, une telle configuration présente l'inconvénient implique une étape de mise en place de la chaîne entre l'arbre de la pompe à l'huile et celui du moteur. De plus, la chaîne occupe, selon la direction axiale, une certaine longueur (correspondant à sa largeur) qui induit un encombrement spécifique. [0004] L'invention vise à résoudre un ou plusieurs de ces inconvénients. [0005] Selon un premier aspect, l'invention porte ainsi sur un moteur à combustion comportant un arbre de vilebrequin qui est monté en rotation dans un palier d'un bloc-cylindre du moteur et qui porte de façon immobile un pignon disposé axialement entre le palier et un joint d'étanchéité annulaire assurant l'étanchéité de l'arbre de vilebrequin, caractérisé en ce que le pignon comprend des dents disposées radialement au-delà du joint d'étanchéité et un disque portant les dents dont la dimension axiale est inférieure à la dimension axiale des dents. [0006] De ce fait, il est possible de réduire de façon significative l'encombrement axial du moteur (de l'ordre de 10 mm). La dimension axiale imposée par la présence du joint et du moyen de transmission du mouvement à l'arbre de la pompe à huile est égale à la somme des dimensions axiales du joint et du disque (et non pas égale à la somme des dimensions axiales du joint et de la chaîne, comme dans l'art antérieur). [0007] Selon un second aspect, l'invention porte sur un groupe moteur comportant un moteur à combustion conforme au premier aspect de la présente invention et une pompe à huile comportant un arbre qui est relié au pignon de l'arbre de vilebrequin par un train d'engrenage. [000s] De ce fait, en utilisant un train d'engrenage au lieu d'une chaîne, la réalisation de la liaison mécanique entre le vilebrequin et la pompe à huile est beaucoup plus simple et rapide. [0009] Selon un premier mode de réalisation particulier du second aspect, le train d'engrenage comporte un pignon qui est immobile par rapport à l'arbre de la pompe et un pignon intermédiaire. [0olo] De ce fait il est possible d'assurer la liaison mécanique entre le vilebrequin et la pompe à huile sans utiliser de chaîne, même si la pompe à huile est éloignée du vilebrequin. [0011] Selon un second mode de réalisation particulier du second aspect de l'invention, le pignon intermédiaire est porté par la pompe à huile. [0012] De ce fait, la mise en place du pignon intermédiaire dans le groupe moteur est réalisée par la fixation de la pompe à huile. [0013] Selon un troisième aspect, l'invention porte sur une pompe à huile pour moteur à combustion, comportant un arbre muni d'un pignon, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend un second pignon engrené avec le pignon de l'arbre. [0014] D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après, à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels : - la figure 1 est une vue en perspective avant d'un groupe moteur conforme à la présente invention avec une liaison mécanique entre un vilebrequin et une pompe à huile réalisée par un train d'engrenage ; - la figure 2 est une vue en perspective arrière de la pompe à huile de la figure 1 ; - la figure 3 est une vue en coupe illustrant la liaison mécanique entre la pompe à huile et le vilebrequin ; et - la figure 4 est une vue en coupe et en perspective de l'arbre de vilebrequin. [0015] Un groupe moteur 1 comprend un moteur à combustion 2 et une pompe à huile 3 entraînée par le moteur à combustion 2. [0016] Le moteur à combustion 2 comporte un bloc cylindre 4 qui est muni d'un palier 5, et un vilebrequin 6 qui comporte un arbre de vilebrequin 7 saillant hors du bloc-cylindre et monté en rotation dans le palier 5. Un joint d'étanchéité 8 est disposé autour de l'arbre de vilebrequin 7 et assure l'étanchéité au niveau de cet arbre 7. Le joint d'étanchéité 8 est porté par une plaque porte joint qui est fixée au palier 5. [0017] L'extrémité libre de l'arbre de vilebrequin 7 porte de façon immobile, au- delà du joint d'étanchéité 8, un pignon de distribution 9 adapté à entraîner une courroie de distribution 10. [0018] L'arbre de vilebrequin 7 porte également de façon immobile un pignon 11 qui est disposé axialement entre le palier 5 et le joint d'étanchéité 8. Comme illustré aux figures 1 et 3, le pignon 11 comprend des dents 12 qui sont disposées radialement au-delà du joint d'étanchéité et un disque 13 qui porte les dents 12. Axialement, le disque 13 est plus étroit que les dents 12 de sorte que l'encombrement axial imposé par la présence du joint 8 et des dents 12 est faible. Le pignon 11 peut être totalement recouvert par la plaque porte joint. [0019] La pompe à huile 3 comprend un arbre 14 qui est muni d'un pignon 15. Le pignon 15 de l'arbre 14 de la pompe à huile 3 est relié par engrènement au pignon 11 de l'arbre de vilebrequin 7. Ici, cette liaison mécanique est réalisée par un pignon intermédiaire 16 qui, dans le présent exemple, est porté par la pompe à huile 3. Ainsi, dans le présente exemple, le train d'engrenage comprend trois pignons 11, 15, 16. [0020] De par sa configuration, la fixation de la pompe à huile 3 au moteur à combustion 2 entraîne de fait la liaison mécanique par engrènement. The invention relates to a motor unit, in particular for a motor vehicle. Different engine groups are known, with an internal combustion engine and an oil pump, the oil pump being driven by a crankshaft of the engine the engine through a chain. Despite its simplicity, such a configuration has the disadvantage involves a step of setting up the chain between the oil pump shaft and that of the engine. In addition, the chain occupies, in the axial direction, a certain length (corresponding to its width) which induces a specific size. The invention aims to solve one or more of these disadvantages. According to a first aspect, the invention thus relates to a combustion engine comprising a crankshaft which is rotatably mounted in a bearing of a cylinder block of the engine and which immovably carries a pinion disposed axially between the bearing and an annular seal sealing the crankshaft, characterized in that the pinion comprises teeth arranged radially beyond the seal and a disc carrying the teeth whose axial dimension is less than the axial dimension of the teeth. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce the axial size of the engine (of the order of 10 mm). The axial dimension imposed by the presence of the seal and the means of transmission of the movement to the shaft of the oil pump is equal to the sum of the axial dimensions of the seal and the disk (and not equal to the sum of the axial dimensions of the seal and chain, as in the prior art). According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a motor unit comprising a combustion engine according to the first aspect of the present invention and an oil pump comprising a shaft which is connected to the pinion of the crankshaft by a gear train. Therefore, by using a gear train instead of a chain, the realization of the mechanical connection between the crankshaft and the oil pump is much simpler and faster. According to a first particular embodiment of the second aspect, the gear train comprises a pinion which is stationary relative to the pump shaft and an intermediate gear. [0olo] Therefore it is possible to ensure the mechanical connection between the crankshaft and the oil pump without using a chain, even if the oil pump is away from the crankshaft. According to a second particular embodiment of the second aspect of the invention, the intermediate gear is carried by the oil pump. Therefore, the introduction of the intermediate gear in the motor unit is achieved by the fixing of the oil pump. According to a third aspect, the invention relates to an oil pump for a combustion engine, comprising a shaft provided with a pinion, characterized in that it comprises a second gear meshing with the pinion of the shaft. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which is given below, for information only and in no way limitative, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: - Figure 1 is a view in forward perspective of a motor unit according to the present invention with a mechanical connection between a crankshaft and an oil pump carried by a gear train; Figure 2 is a rear perspective view of the oil pump of Figure 1; - Figure 3 is a sectional view illustrating the mechanical connection between the oil pump and the crankshaft; and - Figure 4 is a sectional and perspective view of the crankshaft. A motor unit 1 comprises a combustion engine 2 and an oil pump 3 driven by the combustion engine 2. The combustion engine 2 comprises a cylinder block 4 which is provided with a bearing 5, and a crankshaft 6 which comprises a crankshaft 7 protruding out of the cylinder block and rotatably mounted in the bearing 5. A seal 8 is arranged around the crankshaft 7 and seals at the level of this crankshaft 7 shaft 7. The seal 8 is carried by a seal holder plate which is fixed to the bearing 5. The free end of the crank shaft 7 immovably carries beyond the seal 8, a timing gear 9 adapted to drive a timing belt 10. [0018] The crank shaft 7 also immovably carries a pinion 11 which is arranged axially between the bearing 5 and the seal 8. As illustrated in Figures 1 and 3, the pinion 11 comprises teeth 12 that i are arranged radially beyond the seal and a disc 13 which carries the teeth 12. Axially, the disc 13 is narrower than the teeth 12 so that the axial size imposed by the presence of the seal 8 and the teeth 12 is weak. The pinion 11 can be completely covered by the seal plate. The oil pump 3 comprises a shaft 14 which is provided with a pinion 15. The pinion 15 of the shaft 14 of the oil pump 3 is connected by meshing with the pinion 11 of the crank shaft 7. Here, this mechanical connection is carried out by an intermediate gear 16 which, in the present example, is carried by the oil pump 3. Thus, in the present example, the gear train comprises three pinions 11, 15, 16. [ 0020] By its configuration, the attachment of the oil pump 3 to the combustion engine 2 in fact leads to the mechanical connection by meshing.
