Description

本発明は、エンジンなど車両の駆動源から伝達された回転で駆動する機械式のオイルポンプを備えた車両のオイル吸入装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an oil intake device for a vehicle including a mechanical oil pump that is driven by rotation transmitted from a drive source of the vehicle such as an engine.

従来、車両に搭載された変速機などにおいて、ギヤや回転軸などの潤滑並びに冷却用のオイル(潤滑油又は作動油)の移送に用いられるオイルポンプとして、エンジンなど車両の駆動源から伝達された回転で駆動する機械式のオイルポンプ(ギヤポンプ)がある。この種のオイルポンプの設計では、必要な流量を設定するにあたって、規定回転数より低い回転領域で必要なオイルの流量を確保できるように、過去の実績や経験値から安全率を持った流量に設定している。そのため、規定回転数を超える高回転領域では、必要以上の流量のオイルを吸い上げることとなる。そのため、このような機械式のオイルポンプでは、規定回転数を越える高回転領域で無駄な駆動トルク(ポンプ駆動力)が発生することで、当該駆動トルクがエンジンなどの駆動源に対する損失となっていた。   Conventionally, in a transmission or the like mounted on a vehicle, it is transmitted from a drive source of a vehicle such as an engine as an oil pump used to transfer lubrication and cooling oil (lubricating oil or hydraulic oil) of gears and rotating shafts. There is a mechanical oil pump (gear pump) that is driven by rotation. In this type of oil pump design, when setting the required flow rate, the flow rate has a safety factor based on past results and experience values so that the required oil flow rate can be secured in the rotation range lower than the specified rotation speed. It is set. Therefore, in a high rotation region exceeding the specified rotation speed, oil with a flow rate higher than necessary is sucked up. For this reason, in such a mechanical oil pump, useless driving torque (pump driving force) is generated in a high rotational speed region exceeding a specified rotational speed, so that the driving torque is a loss to a driving source such as an engine. It was.

この点に関して、機械式のオイルポンプの駆動トルクを低減するための機構として、流量を可変させる機構やポンプ回転数を低減させる機構を採用することが一般的である。流量を可変させる機構としては、例えば、特許文献1に示すように、油圧感応式スプール弁とリリーフ回路の組合せによる機構(リリーフ回路付可変流量ポンプ)が提案されている。また、ポンプ回転数を制御する機構としては、例えば、特許文献2に示すように、遊星ギヤを介してポンプ回転数を低減させる機構が提案されている。   In this regard, as a mechanism for reducing the drive torque of a mechanical oil pump, it is common to employ a mechanism that varies the flow rate or a mechanism that reduces the pump rotation speed. As a mechanism for varying the flow rate, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a mechanism (variable flow pump with a relief circuit) based on a combination of a hydraulically sensitive spool valve and a relief circuit has been proposed. As a mechanism for controlling the pump speed, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2, a mechanism for reducing the pump speed through a planetary gear has been proposed.

しかしながら、上記のリリーフ回路付可変流量ポンプは、部品点数が多く高い寸法精度が要求されるため、構造の複雑化や重量増及びコスト増につながるおそれがある。また、構造が複雑であることで、オイルに含まる金属粉などの微小異物(コンタミネーション)に対する耐性にも課題がある。また、遊星ギヤでポンプの入力回転数を低減させる機構の場合にも、その機構が複雑で装置が大型化してしまうという問題がある。   However, since the above variable flow pump with a relief circuit has a large number of parts and requires high dimensional accuracy, the structure may be complicated, the weight may be increased, and the cost may be increased. In addition, since the structure is complicated, there is a problem in resistance to minute foreign matters (contamination) such as metal powder contained in oil. Also, in the case of a mechanism that reduces the input rotational speed of the pump with a planetary gear, there is a problem that the mechanism is complicated and the apparatus becomes large.

本発明は上述の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、部品点数を少なく抑えた簡単な構成で、車両の駆動源から伝達された回転で駆動する機械式のオイルポンプの駆動トルクを低減することができ、駆動源に与える損失を効果的に低減できるオイル吸入装置を提供することにある。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to drive torque of a mechanical oil pump that is driven by rotation transmitted from a drive source of a vehicle with a simple configuration with a reduced number of parts. It is an object of the present invention to provide an oil suction device that can reduce the loss to the drive source and effectively reduce the loss.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明にかかる車両のオイル吸入装置は、車両の駆動源から伝達された回転で駆動する機械式のポンプ部(15)をケーシング(12)内に具備するオイルポンプ(10)を備え、オイル貯留部(2)のオイルをオイルポンプ(10)に吸入して圧送するオイル吸入装置(1)であって、オイル貯留部(2)のオイルがオイルポンプ(10)の吸入部(11)に吸入されるまでの吸入区間に設けた空気吸入部(20)を備え、空気吸入部(20)は、大気側(100)と連通する第1連通路(21)と、オイルポンプ(10)の吸入部(11)と連通する第2連通路(22)と、第1連通路(21)と第2連通路(22)との間の開閉を切り替え可能な開閉機構(23)と、を備え、オイルポンプ(10)のオイル吸入圧力(P)が所定圧(P1)以下の負圧になったときに開閉機構(23)が開くことで、オイル貯留部(2)から吸込管(30)に吸入されたオイルに空気吸入部(20)から吸入された空気が混入されるように構成したことを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above-described problems, an oil suction device for a vehicle according to the present invention includes an oil pump (15) provided in a casing (12) with a mechanical pump unit (15) driven by rotation transmitted from a drive source of the vehicle. 10), an oil suction device (1) for sucking and pumping oil from the oil reservoir (2) into the oil pump (10), wherein the oil in the oil reservoir (2) is supplied to the oil pump (10). An air suction part (20) provided in the suction section until the suction part (11) is inhaled, and the air suction part (20) includes a first communication path (21) communicating with the atmosphere side (100), A second communication path (22) communicating with the suction part (11) of the oil pump (10), and an opening / closing mechanism capable of switching between opening and closing between the first communication path (21) and the second communication path (22) ( 23) and oil of the oil pump (10) When the input pressure (P) becomes a negative pressure equal to or lower than the predetermined pressure (P1), the open / close mechanism (23) is opened, so that the oil sucked into the suction pipe (30) from the oil reservoir (2) is sucked into the air. It is characterized in that the air sucked from the part (20) is mixed.

本発明にかかる車両のオイル吸入装置では、オイル貯留部のオイルがオイルポンプの吸入部に吸入されるまでの吸入区間に上記の空気吸入部を設けたことで、オイルポンプの吸入圧力が所定圧以下の負圧になったときに、当該空気吸入部でオイルポンプに空気を吸入させてその駆動トルクを低減させる構造としている。これにより、特に、規定回転数を越える高回転領域で余剰となっていた吐出量分のポンプ駆動トルクを低減させることができる。したがって、オイルポンプに回転を伝達している駆動源の駆動トルクを低下させることができ、駆動源に与える損失を効果的に低減できる。   In the vehicle oil suction device according to the present invention, the air suction portion is provided in the suction section until the oil in the oil storage portion is sucked into the suction portion of the oil pump. When the following negative pressure is reached, the air suction section sucks air into the oil pump to reduce the driving torque. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the pump driving torque corresponding to the discharge amount that is surplus particularly in the high rotation region exceeding the specified rotation speed. Therefore, the drive torque of the drive source that transmits rotation to the oil pump can be reduced, and the loss given to the drive source can be effectively reduced.

上記の空気吸入部は、オイル吸入圧力に応じてオイルポンプへの空気の吸い込みの有無が切り替わる構造である。したがって、オイルポンプの回転数が高回転の領域で吸入負圧が上昇したときに、オイルポンプへ吸入されるオイルに空気を混入させることができる。したがって、オイルポンプの高回転領域での吸入オイル量の増加を抑制することができ、ポンプ駆動力の低減効果及び吸入負圧低下の効果が得られる。これにより、簡単な構成で駆動源の駆動トルクを低下させることができる。   The air suction section has a structure in which the presence or absence of air suction into the oil pump is switched according to the oil suction pressure. Therefore, when the suction negative pressure rises in a region where the rotation speed of the oil pump is high, air can be mixed into the oil sucked into the oil pump. Therefore, an increase in the amount of intake oil in the high rotation region of the oil pump can be suppressed, and the effect of reducing the pump driving force and the effect of reducing the intake negative pressure can be obtained. Thereby, the drive torque of a drive source can be reduced with a simple configuration.

また、上記のオイル吸入装置では、開閉機構(23)は、第1連通路(21)と第2連通路(22)との間を開閉する弁体(25)と、弁体(25)を閉位置へ付勢する付勢手段(26)と、を備え、オイルポンプ(10)のオイル吸入圧力(P)が所定圧(P1)以下の負圧になると、弁体(25)が付勢手段(26)の付勢力に抗して閉位置から開位置へ移動するように構成してよい。また、オイルポンプ(10)のポンプ部(15)、吸入部(11)、空気吸入部(20)、及び開閉機構(23)を、オイルポンプ(10)のケーシング(2)内に一体的に構成してもよい。さらに、ケーシング(12)内に、ポンプ部(15)からオイルを吐出管(60)へ吐出するための吐出部(13)を一体的に構成してもよい

In the above oil suction device, the opening / closing mechanism (23) includes a valve body (25) for opening and closing between the first communication path (21) and the second communication path (22), and a valve body (25). Urging means (26) for urging to the closed position, and when the oil suction pressure (P) of the oil pump (10) becomes a negative pressure equal to or lower than a predetermined pressure (P1), the valve body (25) is urged. It may be configured to move from the closed position to the open position against the urging force of the means (26) . Further, the pump part (15), the suction part (11), the air suction part (20), and the opening / closing mechanism (23) of the oil pump (10) are integrated into the casing (2) of the oil pump (10). It may be configured. Furthermore, a discharge part (13) for discharging oil from the pump part (15) to the discharge pipe (60) may be integrally formed in the casing (12) .

この構成によれば、部品点数を少なく抑えた簡単な構成で、オイルポンプの吸入圧力が所定以上となったときに該オイルポンプに空気を吸入させることができる。
なお、上記の括弧内の符号は、後述する実施形態における構成要素の符号を本発明の一例として示したものである。

以下、添付図面を参照して本発明の実施形態を詳細に説明する。図1は、本発明の一実施形態にかかるオイル吸入装置を示す概略図である。また、図2は、オイルポンプを示す図で、(a)は、オイルポンプの全体構成を示す図、(b)は、(a)のA−A矢視断面を示す図で、空気吸入バルブを示す図である。図1に示すように、オイル吸入装置1は、車両の駆動源であるエンジン(図示せず)から伝達された回転で駆動する機械式のオイルポンプ10と、オイルポンプの吸込端10a側に接続されてオイルバス(オイル貯留部)2内のオイルを吸入する吸込管30と、オイルポンプの吐出端10b側に接続された吐出管60とを備えている。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an oil suction device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing an oil pump, (a) is a view showing the entire configuration of the oil pump, (b) is a view showing a cross section taken along the line AA in FIG. FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the oil suction device 1 is connected to a mechanical oil pump 10 driven by rotation transmitted from an engine (not shown) that is a drive source of the vehicle, and the suction end 10a side of the oil pump. And a suction pipe 30 for sucking oil in the oil bath (oil storage part) 2 and a discharge pipe 60 connected to the discharge end 10b side of the oil pump.

オイルポンプ10は、車両用の変速機において、ギヤなどの機械構造の潤滑並びに冷却用の作動油(オイル)の移送に用いられるオイルポンプである。このオイルポンプ10は、エンジンの駆動力で回転するクランク軸(図示せず)の回転が伝達されて回転する機械式のオイルポンプであって、オイルを圧送するためのポンプ部15と、吸込管30からポンプ部15へオイルを吸入するための吸入ポート(吸入部)11と、ポンプ部15から吐出管60へオイルを吐出するための吐出ポート13とを備える。ポンプ部15は、ケーシング12内に回転自在に支持されたアウタロータ16と、該アウタロータ16の内側において回転自在に支持されたインナロータ17とを備える容積型のトロコイドポンプである。このオイルポンプ10では、エンジンから伝達される回転の増減に応じてポンプ部15によるオイルの圧送量が増減するようになっている。   The oil pump 10 is an oil pump used for lubricating a mechanical structure such as a gear and transferring cooling hydraulic oil (oil) in a vehicle transmission. The oil pump 10 is a mechanical oil pump that is rotated by the rotation of a crankshaft (not shown) that is rotated by the driving force of the engine. The oil pump 10 includes a pump unit 15 that pumps oil and a suction pipe. A suction port (suction part) 11 for sucking oil from 30 to the pump part 15 and a discharge port 13 for discharging oil from the pump part 15 to the discharge pipe 60 are provided. The pump unit 15 is a positive displacement trochoid pump that includes an outer rotor 16 that is rotatably supported in the casing 12 and an inner rotor 17 that is rotatably supported inside the outer rotor 16. In the oil pump 10, the amount of oil pumped by the pump unit 15 increases and decreases according to the increase and decrease of the rotation transmitted from the engine.

そして、本実施形態のオイルポンプ10は、大気側100と吸入ポート11との間に設けた空気吸入バルブ(空気吸入部)20を備える。空気吸入バルブ20は、大気側100と連通する第1連通路(大気開放部)21と、吸入ポート11と連通する第2連通路22と、オイルポンプ10の吸入圧力が所定圧(規定圧)以下の負圧になったときに第1連通路21と第2連通路22との間を連通させるバルブ機構(開閉機構)23とを備えて構成される。バルブ機構23は、第1連通路21と第2連通路22との間に形成した収容部24と、該収容部24に収容した球形状の弁体25と、弁体25を付勢するコイルスプリング(付勢手段)26とを備える。弁体25は、収容部24内で第1連通路21の周囲に形成した弁座部27に着座する閉位置と、該弁座部27から離間する開位置との間で移動可能となっている。コイルスプリング26は、弁体25を弁座部27に着座する閉位置へ向けて付勢している。そして、オイルポンプ10のオイル吸入圧力が所定圧以下の負圧になると、弁体25がコイルスプリング26の付勢力に抗して閉位置から開位置へ移動するようになっている。   The oil pump 10 of this embodiment includes an air intake valve (air intake portion) 20 provided between the atmosphere side 100 and the intake port 11. The air suction valve 20 includes a first communication path (atmosphere release portion) 21 communicating with the atmosphere side 100, a second communication path 22 communicating with the suction port 11, and a suction pressure of the oil pump 10 at a predetermined pressure (specified pressure). The valve mechanism (opening / closing mechanism) 23 is configured to communicate between the first communication path 21 and the second communication path 22 when the following negative pressure is reached. The valve mechanism 23 includes a housing portion 24 formed between the first communication passage 21 and the second communication passage 22, a spherical valve body 25 housed in the housing portion 24, and a coil that urges the valve body 25. And a spring (biasing means) 26. The valve body 25 is movable between a closed position where the valve body 25 is seated on the valve seat portion 27 formed around the first communication path 21 and an open position which is separated from the valve seat portion 27. Yes. The coil spring 26 urges the valve body 25 toward a closed position where the valve body 25 is seated on the valve seat portion 27. When the oil suction pressure of the oil pump 10 becomes a negative pressure equal to or lower than a predetermined pressure, the valve body 25 moves from the closed position to the open position against the urging force of the coil spring 26.

図3は、空気吸入バルブ20の動作を説明するための図である。オイルポンプ10のオイル吸入圧力が所定圧よりも大きい状態では、弁体25にかかるコイルスプリング26の付勢力と吸入ポート11の作動油からかかる力との合力の方が、第1連通路21を介して大気側100からかかる力よりも大きい。したがって、弁体25は、コイルスプリング26の付勢力で弁座部27に着座した状態で、第1連通路21と第2連通路22との間を塞いでいる。そして、オイルポンプ10のオイル吸入圧力が負圧状態で所定圧以下になると、弁体25にかかるコイルスプリング26の付勢力と吸入ポート11の作動油からかかる力との合力よりも、第1連通路21を介して大気側100からかかる力の方が大きくなる。そうすると、弁体25がコイルスプリング26の付勢力に抗して弁座部27から離間することで、第1連通路21と第2連通路22との間が開かれるようになっている。これにより、オイルポンプ10によるオイルバス2内のオイルの吸入圧力に応じて、吸込管30からオイルバス2のオイルのみを吸入する第1吸込作動状態と、吸込管30からオイルバス2のオイルを吸入すると共に空気吸入バルブ20から空気を吸入する第2吸込作動状態とが切り替わる。   FIG. 3 is a view for explaining the operation of the air intake valve 20. In a state where the oil suction pressure of the oil pump 10 is larger than a predetermined pressure, the resultant force of the biasing force of the coil spring 26 applied to the valve body 25 and the force applied from the hydraulic oil of the suction port 11 is greater in the first communication path 21. It is larger than the force applied from the atmosphere side 100 through the air. Therefore, the valve body 25 blocks the space between the first communication path 21 and the second communication path 22 in a state where the valve body 25 is seated on the valve seat portion 27 by the urging force of the coil spring 26. When the oil suction pressure of the oil pump 10 becomes a predetermined pressure or less in a negative pressure state, the first reaming force is greater than the resultant force of the urging force of the coil spring 26 applied to the valve body 25 and the force applied from the hydraulic oil of the suction port 11. The force applied from the atmosphere side 100 through the passage 21 becomes larger. Then, the valve element 25 is separated from the valve seat portion 27 against the urging force of the coil spring 26, so that the space between the first communication path 21 and the second communication path 22 is opened. Accordingly, the first suction operation state in which only the oil in the oil bath 2 is sucked from the suction pipe 30 according to the suction pressure of the oil in the oil bath 2 by the oil pump 10, and the oil in the oil bath 2 from the suction pipe 30 is discharged. The second suction operation state in which air is sucked and air is sucked from the air suction valve 20 is switched.

第1吸込作動状態では、オイルポンプ10の運転により、吸込管30からオイルのみが吸入され、空気吸入バルブ20から空気は吸入されない。この第1吸込作動状態では、オイルポンプ10に空気が吸い込まれないことで、オイルポンプ10の回転数にほぼ正比例する線形的なオイル流量の増加が得られる。第2吸込作動状態では、オイルポンプ10の運転により、吸込管30からオイルが吸入されると共に空気吸入バルブ20から空気が吸入される。空気吸入バルブ20から吸入された空気がオイルポンプ10内へ混入することで、(空気が混入しない状態と比較して)ポンプ負圧とポンプ駆動力の増加がより低く抑えられる。すなわち、本実施形態のオイル吸入装置1では、この空気混入によって、オイルポンプ10へ吸入するオイルに空気を混入させることでオイル吸入量を制限し、オイルポンプ10の油圧動力を低減させることができる。このように、空気吸入バルブ20から吸入する空気をオイルバス2から吸入するオイルに混入させることによって、特に高回転領域でのオイルポンプ10の回転数に対するオイル吸入量を低く抑えることができ、オイルポンプ10の駆動損失を効果的に低減することができる。   In the first suction operation state, only the oil is sucked from the suction pipe 30 and the air is not sucked from the air suction valve 20 by the operation of the oil pump 10. In the first suction operation state, since air is not sucked into the oil pump 10, a linear increase in the oil flow rate that is substantially directly proportional to the rotational speed of the oil pump 10 is obtained. In the second suction operation state, oil is sucked from the suction pipe 30 and air is sucked from the air suction valve 20 by the operation of the oil pump 10. Since the air sucked from the air suction valve 20 is mixed into the oil pump 10, the increase in the pump negative pressure and the pump driving force can be suppressed to a lower level (compared to a state where no air is mixed). In other words, in the oil suction device 1 of the present embodiment, the amount of oil suction can be limited by mixing air into the oil sucked into the oil pump 10 by this air mixing, and the hydraulic power of the oil pump 10 can be reduced. . In this way, by mixing the air sucked from the air suction valve 20 into the oil sucked from the oil bath 2, the oil suction amount with respect to the rotation speed of the oil pump 10 can be kept low particularly in the high speed region. The driving loss of the pump 10 can be effectively reduced.

図4乃至図6は、本実施形態のオイル吸入装置1と従来構成のオイル吸入装置との性能比較について説明するための図で、図4は、オイルポンプ10の回転数(入力回転数)とポンプ吸入圧力の関係を示すグラフであり、図5は、オイルポンプ10の回転数とポンプトルクの関係を示すグラフであり、図6は、オイルポンプ10の回転数とポンプ流量の関係を示すグラフである。図5及び図6のグラフでは、従来構成のオイル吸入装置のラインを実線で示し、本実施形態のオイル吸入装置1のラインを点線で示している。ここでの従来構成のオイル吸入装置とは、本実施形態の空気吸入バルブ20を備えない構成である。   4 to 6 are diagrams for explaining the performance comparison between the oil suction device 1 of the present embodiment and the oil suction device of the conventional configuration, and FIG. 4 shows the rotation speed (input rotation speed) of the oil pump 10. FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the pump suction pressure, FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the rotational speed of the oil pump 10 and the pump torque, and FIG. 6 is a graph showing the relationship between the rotational speed of the oil pump 10 and the pump flow rate. It is. In the graphs of FIGS. 5 and 6, the line of the oil suction device having the conventional configuration is indicated by a solid line, and the line of the oil suction device 1 of the present embodiment is indicated by a dotted line. The oil suction device of the conventional configuration here is a configuration that does not include the air suction valve 20 of the present embodiment.

本実施形態のオイルポンプ10では、図4に示すように、ポンプ回転数Nが規定回転数N1未満の領域では、ポンプ吸入圧力Pが所定圧(規定負圧)P1よりも大きい状態(P>P1)であり、ポンプ回転数Nが規定回転数N1未満の領域では、ポンプ吸入圧力Pが規定圧力(規定負圧)P1以下(P≦P1)の負圧となる。したがって、ポンプ回転数Nが規定回転数N1未満の領域では、吸込管30からオイルのみを吸入する第1吸込作動状態であり、ポンプ回転数Nが規定回転数N1以上の領域では、吸込管30から吸入されたオイルに空気吸入バルブ20から吸入された空気が混入する第2吸込作動状態(空気混入状態)となる。これにより、図5のグラフに示すように、規定回転数N1以上の高回転領域で、従来構成のオイル吸入装置と比較して、吸入されるオイル流量の増加を抑制する(増加率を低く抑える)ことができる。したがって、図6に示すように、ポンプトルクの低減効果が得られる。これにより、ポンプ損失及び伝達損失を低減させることができる。   In the oil pump 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, in a region where the pump rotation speed N is less than the specified rotation speed N1, the pump suction pressure P is greater than a predetermined pressure (specified negative pressure) P1 (P>). In the region where the pump rotational speed N is less than the specified rotational speed N1, the pump suction pressure P is a negative pressure equal to or lower than the specified pressure (specified negative pressure) P1 (P ≦ P1). Accordingly, in the region where the pump rotational speed N is less than the specified rotational speed N1, the first suction operation state in which only oil is sucked from the suction pipe 30 is performed. In the region where the pump rotational speed N is equal to or higher than the specified rotational speed N1, the suction pipe 30 The second suction operation state (air mixing state) in which the air sucked from the air suction valve 20 is mixed into the oil sucked from the second suction state. As a result, as shown in the graph of FIG. 5, an increase in the flow rate of the sucked oil is suppressed (a rate of increase is kept low) as compared with the oil suction device of the conventional configuration in a high rotation speed region where the rotation speed is N1 or more. )be able to. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, an effect of reducing pump torque can be obtained. Thereby, pump loss and transmission loss can be reduced.

以上説明したように、本実施形態のオイル吸入装置1では、車両の駆動源から伝達された回転で駆動する機械式のオイルポンプ10を備えるオイル吸入装置1において、オイルポンプ10の吸入ポート11に空気吸入バルブ20を設けている。この空気吸入バルブ20は、吸入ポート11と連通する第1連通路21と、大気側100と連通する第2連通路22と、第1連通路21と第2連通路22との間の開閉を有無を切り替え可能なバルブ機構(開閉機構)23とを備え、オイルポンプ10のオイル吸入圧力が所定圧以下の負圧になったときにバルブ機構23が開くことで、オイルバス2から吸込管30に吸入されたオイルに空気吸入バルブ20で吸入された空気が混入されるように構成した。   As described above, in the oil suction device 1 of the present embodiment, in the oil suction device 1 including the mechanical oil pump 10 driven by the rotation transmitted from the drive source of the vehicle, the suction port 11 of the oil pump 10 is connected to the suction port 11 of the oil pump 10. An air intake valve 20 is provided. The air intake valve 20 opens and closes a first communication path 21 that communicates with the suction port 11, a second communication path 22 that communicates with the atmosphere side 100, and the first communication path 21 and the second communication path 22. A valve mechanism (opening / closing mechanism) 23 that can be switched between presence and absence is provided. When the oil suction pressure of the oil pump 10 becomes a negative pressure equal to or lower than a predetermined pressure, the valve mechanism 23 is opened, so that the suction pipe 30 from the oil bath 2 is opened. The air sucked in by the air suction valve 20 is mixed with the oil sucked in.

本実施形態のオイル吸入装置1では、オイルバス2のオイルがオイルポンプ10に吸入されるまでの吸入区間に上記の空気吸入バルブ20を設けたことで、オイルポンプ10の吸入圧力が所定圧以下の負圧となったときに、当該空気吸入バルブ20でオイルポンプ10に空気を吸入させてその駆動トルクを低減させる構造としている。これにより、特に、規定回転数を越える高回転領域で余剰となっていた吐出量分のポンプ駆動トルクを低減させることができる。したがって、オイルポンプ10に回転を伝達している駆動源の駆動トルクを低下させることができ、駆動源に与える損失を効果的に低減できる。   In the oil suction device 1 of the present embodiment, the air suction valve 20 is provided in the suction section until the oil in the oil bath 2 is sucked into the oil pump 10, so that the suction pressure of the oil pump 10 is less than a predetermined pressure. The air suction valve 20 causes the oil pump 10 to suck air and reduce its driving torque when the negative pressure is reached. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the pump driving torque corresponding to the discharge amount that is surplus particularly in the high rotation region exceeding the specified rotation speed. Therefore, the drive torque of the drive source transmitting rotation to the oil pump 10 can be reduced, and the loss given to the drive source can be effectively reduced.

このように、オイルバス2内のオイルがオイルポンプ10に吸入されるまでの吸入区間に、オイルバス2内のオイルの吸入量と空気の吸入量との配分を可変させる(空気とオイルを吸い分ける)機構として、空気吸入バルブ20を設けたことで、オイルポンプ10に空気を吸入させることでその駆動トルクを意図的に低減させる構造としている。すなわち、オイルポンプ10の吸入経路上に空気を吸い込むための手段を設けたことで、オイルポンプ10の吸入圧力が所定以下の負圧のときに該オイルポンプ10のオイルの余剰吸込量を規制することができ、オイルポンプ10の駆動に必要なトルクを低減できるようにした。これにより、特に、規定回転数を越える高回転領域で余剰となっていた吐出量分のポンプ駆動トルクを低減させることができる。その結果、オイルポンプ10を駆動しているエンジン(駆動源)の駆動トルクを効果的に低下させることができる。   In this manner, the distribution of the oil intake amount and the air intake amount in the oil bath 2 is varied in the intake section until the oil in the oil bath 2 is sucked into the oil pump 10 (air and oil are absorbed). As a mechanism, the air suction valve 20 is provided, so that the oil pump 10 sucks air to intentionally reduce the driving torque. That is, by providing a means for sucking air on the suction path of the oil pump 10, when the suction pressure of the oil pump 10 is a negative pressure below a predetermined value, the excess suction amount of oil in the oil pump 10 is regulated. The torque required for driving the oil pump 10 can be reduced. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the pump driving torque corresponding to the discharge amount that is surplus particularly in the high rotation region exceeding the specified rotation speed. As a result, the drive torque of the engine (drive source) driving the oil pump 10 can be effectively reduced.

また、上記のオイル吸入装置では、空気吸入バルブ20は、第1連通路21と第2連通路22との間を開閉する弁体25と、弁体25を閉位置へ付勢するコイルスプリング(付勢手段)26とを備え、オイルポンプ10のオイル吸入圧力が所定以下の負圧になると、弁体25にかかる力でコイルスプリング26の付勢力に抗して弁体25が閉位置から開位置へ移動するように構成している。 In the above oil suction device, the air suction valve 20 includes a valve body 25 that opens and closes between the first communication path 21 and the second communication path 22, and a coil spring that biases the valve body 25 to the closed position ( Urging means) 26, and when the oil suction pressure of the oil pump 10 becomes a predetermined negative pressure or less, the valve element 25 is opened from the closed position against the urging force of the coil spring 26 by the force applied to the valve element 25. It is configured to move to a position.

この構成によれば、部品点数を少なく抑えた簡単な構成で、オイルポンプ10の吸入圧力が所定以上となったときに該オイルポンプ10に空気を吸入させることができる。   According to this configuration, air can be sucked into the oil pump 10 when the suction pressure of the oil pump 10 exceeds a predetermined value with a simple configuration with a reduced number of parts.
