Description

The present invention relates to a blazer device and an engine equipped with the blazer device.

The blazer device installed in diesel engines separates oil and gas components from blow-by gas, then returns the gas components to the combustion chamber through the passage and intake system, where they are combusted and rendered harmless. It is used to discharge the gas into the atmosphere. A commonly used blazer device is installed inside the head cover of a diesel engine. The blazer device has a blazer chamber. The blazer chamber is a closed space formed between a large-sized shield plate assembled inside the head cover and an inner wall of the head cover.

Blowby gas rising into the head cover from the cylinder head side of the diesel engine enters the blazer chamber through the blowby gas inlet provided in the shield plate. The blow-by gas hits the wall at increased speed due to the labyrinth structure formed inside the blazer chamber and the throttle section provided on the exit side of the blazer chamber. This makes it easier to separate the oil component from the blow-by gas. The oil separated from the blow-by gas falls into the head cover through a hole provided in the shield plate and is returned to the cylinder head. The gas components separated from the blow-by gas are passed through steel wool and returned to the intake system, for example. Patent Document 1 discloses an engine blazer device in which steel wool is arranged in an oil separation chamber.

Incidentally, a rocker arm and a rocker arm shaft are arranged inside the head cover. The rocker arm shaft has a guide passage for lubricating oil, and the rocker arm also has a guide passage for lubricating oil.

When the rocker arm swings at a high speed to open and close the intake and exhaust valves, if the guide passage of the rocker arm shaft overlaps with the guide passage of the rocker arm, lubricating oil flows into the guide of the rocker arm shaft. The water is ejected from the rocker arm into the head cover through the passage and the guide passage of the rocker arm.

The spouted oil is splashed up by the rapid rocking of the rocker arm, becomes oil jet droplets, and directly enters the blazer chamber from the rocker arm through the blow-by gas inlet of the shield plate and the oil pit. If oil jet droplets enter the breather chamber, the gas-liquid separation properties of the breather device may be impaired.

Below, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present invention, and therefore have various technically preferable limitations. However, the scope of the present invention does not particularly limit the present invention in the following description. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments are not limited to these embodiments. Further, in each drawing, similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an engine equipped with a blazer device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the engine shown in FIG. 1 taken along line AA. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the engine shown in FIG. 1 taken along line BB. In this specification, the drawings omit hatching to show cross sections for the sake of simplification of illustration. In the drawings, the X direction is the longitudinal direction of the engine 1 shown in FIG. The Y direction is the left-right direction of the engine 1. The Z direction is the vertical direction of the engine 1. The X, Y, and Z directions are orthogonal to each other.

The engine 1 shown in FIG. 1 is, for example, a common rail type diesel engine, and the engine 1 is, for example, an industrial diesel engine. The engine 1 is, for example, a turbocharged, high-output, four-cylinder engine. The engine 1 is installed in equipment for various uses, such as construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and lawn mowers.
The engine 1 includes a cylinder head 2 and a head cover 3, and the head cover 3 is mounted on the cylinder head 2. The head cover 3 has an upper surface part 4 and four side parts 5, 6, 7, and 8, and an internal space 9 of the head cover 3 is a closed space.

The head cover 3 includes a blazer device 10. The blazer device 10 separates the blow-by gas flowing into the internal space 9 of the head cover 3 into an oil component and a gas component, and then returns the gas to the combustion chamber through a piping 99 and an intake system (not shown). It is used to burn it, render it harmless, and then release it into the atmosphere. Blowby gas may be generated during at least one of the compression stroke and combustion stroke of the engine 1. Blowby gas is gas that flows into the crankcase through the gap between the piston and cylinder of the engine 1, and contains unburned or burned gas components and oil components. Blowby gas leaking into the crankcase invades the internal space 9 of the head cover 3.

A preferred structural example of the blazer device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
The head cover 3 has a protruding part 11, and the protruding part 11 is provided on the upper surface part 4 so as to protrude in the Z1 direction (upward direction). The blazer device 10 includes this protrusion 11 , a pressure regulating valve (diaphragm) 12 , an oil separation member 20 , and a shield member 30 . The protrusion 11 has a cylindrical shape, for example, and a blazer chamber 13 is formed inside the protrusion 11 .

As shown in FIG. 1, the blazer chamber 13 has a central holding portion 13B, a stepped portion 13C, and a receiving portion 13D. The stepped portion 13C and the receiving portion 13D are formed along the entire circumference around the holding portion 13B. The pressure regulating valve 12 regulates the pressure within the blazer chamber 13 so as to prevent new intake air from flowing into the internal space 9 of the head cover 3 .

As shown in FIG. 1, an oil separation member 20 is fixed in the blazer chamber 13 so as to be replaceable. The oil separation member 20 separates the oil contained in the blow-by gas and passes the gas component to the piping 99 side. The oil separation member 20 is preferably made of steel wool, has a large diameter portion 21 and a small diameter portion 22, and a stepped portion 23 is formed between the large diameter portion 21 and the small diameter portion 22. The holding portion 13B tightly holds the center of the small diameter portion 22 of the oil separation member 20, the step portion 13C tightly holds the step portion 23 of the oil separation member 20, and the receiving portion 13D holds the center of the small diameter portion 22 of the oil separation member 20 in close contact. The peripheral edge of the lower surface 21F of the large diameter portion 21 of the member 20 is held in close contact. Thereby, the oil separation member 20 is held in the blazer chamber 13 so as not to move in any of the X, Y, and Z directions.

The shield member 30 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is made by molding a metal plate such as an iron plate. The oil splash prevention part 50 is provided. The gap forming part 40 of the shield member 30 is arranged along the XY plane, and the oil splash prevention part 50 is arranged along the XZ plane. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the oil splash prevention part 50 is formed by bending 90 degrees with respect to the gap forming part 40, and the oil splash prevention part 50 is formed by bending the oil splash prevention part 50 by 90 degrees with respect to the gap forming part 40. is in line with Since the oil separation member 20 is made of steel wool and the shield member 30 is made of a metal plate, the cost of the materials used can be suppressed, resulting in cost reduction.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30 is preferably removably fixed to the inner surface of the upper surface portion 4 of the head cover 3 by four mounting bases 39. Since the gap forming part 40 is detachably attached in this way, there is an advantage that the oil separation member 20 can be replaced by removing the gap forming part 40.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30 has, for example, two rib-shaped convex portions 41, 41 on the inner surface 42 for forming a gap. The rib-shaped convex portions 41, 41 for forming gaps are formed long along the X direction. Since the convex portions 41, 41 are formed on the inner surface 42 of the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30, the gap G can be easily formed between the inner surface 42 and the lower surface 21F of the oil separation member 20. Furthermore, blow-by gas flows within the crankcase in the direction in which the cylinders are arranged in accordance with the difference in movement between the cylinders, that is, in the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the diesel engine. Since the convex portions 41, 41 are formed along the front-rear direction (X direction) of the diesel engine, they can increase the flow velocity of the blow-by gas and make it hit the oil separation member 20, and do not obstruct the flow of the blow-by gas. First, it is possible to improve the discharge performance of separated oil components. Therefore, the blazer device 10 can improve the gas-liquid separability of blow-by gas.

The rib-shaped convex portions 41, 41 for forming a gap increase the flow rate of the blow-by gas and apply it to the oil separation member 20, so that the flow of the blow-by gas is not obstructed and the discharge performance of the separated oil can be improved. For example, the cross section is formed into a triangular shape. However, the cross-sectional shape of the rib-shaped convex portions 41, 41 for forming the gap may be semicircular or the like. The convex portions 41, 41 on the inner surface of the shield member 30 can form a gap G between the inner surface of the shield member 30 and the lower surface of the oil separation member 20, and the convex portions 41, 41 can form a gap G in the front-rear direction of the diesel engine. It is formed along. Since the convex portions 41, 41 increase the flow rate of the blow-by gas and do not obstruct the flow, there is no need for a labyrinth structure or a constriction portion that was conventionally necessary. Therefore, the size of the blazer device 10 can be reduced, and the gas-liquid separation of the blow-by gas in the blazer device 10 can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 1, the rib-shaped convex portions 41, 41 for forming a gap are provided at a predetermined distance between the lower surface 21F of the large diameter portion 21 of the oil separation member 20 and the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30. A gap G of the same size is formed. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this gap G is a four-sided open gap that is open into the internal space 9 of the head cover 3 on all sides of the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30. Since the gap G is open in all directions with respect to the internal space 9 of the head cover 3, generation of negative pressure in the blazer device 10 can be more reliably suppressed. Therefore, the oil separated from the blow-by gas is difficult to accumulate in the blazer chamber 13 of the blazer device 10 shown in FIG. 1, and the oil can easily fall into the head cover 3. Therefore, the blazer device 10 can improve the gas-liquid separability of blow-by gas.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the oil splash prevention portion 50 of the shield member 30 is formed to extend downward from the gap forming portion 40. As shown in FIGS. Since the oil splash prevention part 50 is formed small, weight and cost reductions can be achieved. The oil splash prevention section 50 has the role of preventing oil splashes generated by the operation of the engine rocker arm from entering. The oil splash prevention portion 50 has a convex portion 51 . The convex portion 51 is formed along the Z direction.

FIG. 3 shows a rocker arm 60 and a rocker arm shaft 61. The rocker arm 60 and the rocker arm shaft 61 are arranged within the internal space 9 of the head cover 3, and the rocker arm shaft 61 is arranged along the X direction. The rocker arm shaft 61 has a guide hole 63 for guiding lubricating oil and a lateral guide hole 63B formed in the radial direction. The rocker arm 60 swings in the R direction about the rocker arm shaft 61. The rocker arm 60 has a guide hole 64 that injects the lubricating oil guided by the guide hole 63 to the outside of the rocker arm 60 via the lateral guide hole 63B.

When the rocker arm 60 swings in the R direction to open and close the intake and exhaust valves (not shown), the rocker arm 60 allows the lubricating oil guided by the guide hole 63 to pass through the horizontal guide hole 63B and the guide hole 64. Inject outside the rocker arm 60. Therefore, the lubricating oil tends to scatter as droplets from the oil jet. However, the oil splash prevention portion 50 of the shield member 30 can prevent the oil jet droplets from scattering. This prevents oil jet droplets from entering the oil separation member 20 through the gap G, and prevents the oil separation performance of the oil separation member 20 from deteriorating due to the oil jet droplets.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the gap G is open on all sides, and serves as a discharge port for discharging the separated oil. The outlet of the gap G through which the oil drops is arranged at a position that does not splash up the droplets of the oil jet. As a result, the oil jet droplets do not enter the gap G, so that the gas-liquid separation performance of the breather device 10 can be improved without being affected by the oil jet droplets.

In the above-mentioned blazer device 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30 has, for example, two rib-shaped protrusions for forming gaps on the inner surface 42. The convex portions 41 and 41 form a gap G of a predetermined size between the lower surface 21F of the large diameter portion 21 of the oil separation member 20 and the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30. is forming. By providing this gap G, the oil separation member 20 is evenly opened into the internal space 9 of the head cover 3 on all four sides of the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30. That is, a gap G is formed between the inner wall of the head cover 3 and the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30.

In the conventional closed type breather device, negative pressure is likely to be generated in the internal space of the head cover due to the operation of the crank and the piston. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the blazer device 10 is uniformly open within the internal space 9 of the head cover 3, unlike the conventional one. Thereby, generation of negative pressure on the lower surface 21F of the large diameter portion 21 of the oil separation member 20 can be suppressed, so that the accumulated oil does not come up the inner wall of the head cover 3. Further, the convex portions 41, 41 support the lower surface 21F of the large diameter portion 21 of the oil separation member 20, and can position the oil separation member 20.

Furthermore, even if the engine is tilted, the oil does not accumulate and naturally falls into the internal space 9 of the head cover 3 through the gaps G that are evenly opened on all sides. The blazer chamber 13 of the blazer device 10 has a structure that prevents oil from entering or accumulating. The breather device 10 does not employ a labyrinth structure that increases the flow rate of oil, which has been conventionally employed. Moreover, a structure is adopted in which the oil separation member 20 is housed and installed within the blazer chamber 13 of the head cover 3. Thereby, the height dimension H of the blazer device 10 in the Z direction shown in FIG. 1 can be kept small, and the length dimension K of the blazer device 10 in the X direction can also be kept small. Thereby, the size and weight of the blazer device 10 can be reduced.

The length dimension K in the X direction of the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30 can be kept small, and the layout of the connecting pipe connected to the piping 99 of the blazer device 10 can be made easier.
The gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30 has two convex portions 41, 41 for forming a gap on the inner surface 42, and the convex portions 41, 41 are formed long along the X direction. . That is, since the convex portions 41, 41 are set in the direction of the flow path through which the blow-by gas flows, it is possible to increase the flow velocity of the blow-by gas and send it to the lower surface 21F of the large diameter portion 21 of the oil separation member 20. The oil separated by the oil separation member 20 can be discharged to the internal space 9 side of the head cover 3. Therefore, the ability to drain the oil separated by the oil separation member 20 can be improved. In addition, the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30 has two convex shaped portions 41, 41 for forming a gap on the inner surface 42, which can increase the mechanical strength of the shield member 30. Even if the member 30 is made thinner, mechanical strength can be ensured.

The oil splash prevention portion 50 of the shield member 30 is formed into a tongue shape by being bent 90 degrees with respect to the gap forming portion 40, and extends along the inner surface of the side surface portion 6 of the head cover 3. Thereby, the oil splash prevention section 50 can prevent oil jet splashes ejected from the rocker arm 60 shown in FIG. 3. The oil splash prevention section 50 can guide the oil discharged from the gap G formed by the gap forming section 40 into the internal space 9 of the head cover 3 and allow it to fall smoothly. Since the oil splash prevention part 50 is formed integrally with the shield member 30, the number of parts can be reduced. Moreover, since the oil splash prevention section 50 is arranged to extend downward from the shield member 30 in the internal space 9 of the head cover 3, the oil splash prevention section 50 can prevent oil splashed up by the rocker arm. However, it is possible to prevent the oil from becoming oil jet droplets and scattering.

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described in order. Elements of the blazer device of another embodiment of the invention described below are given the same reference numerals when they are substantially the same as corresponding elements of the blazer device 10 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The explanation will be omitted.
(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the blazer device 10A shown in FIG. 4, the shield member 30 has a perforated member 70. As shown in FIG. The lengths of the four mounting bases 39B extend downward, and a plate-shaped perforated member 70 is arranged between the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30 and the lower surface 21G of the oil separation member 20. . This perforated member 70 can be made of, for example, a punched metal plate, and has a plurality of, for example, circular through holes 71 . The oil separation member 20 has a cylindrical shape, and the perforated member 70 closely supports the lower surface 21G of the oil separation member 20. Alternatively, there may be a slight gap between the perforated member 70 and the lower surface 21G of the oil separation member 20. The four sides of the gap forming portion 40 are equally open to the internal space 9 of the head cover 3. That is, a gap G that is open in all directions is formed between the inner wall of the head cover 3 and the shield member 30.

As described above, the blazer device 10A has a two-stage structure including the gap forming portion 40 of the shield member 30 and the perforation member 70. By adopting a two-stage structure of the gap forming part 40 and the perforated member 70 on the lower surface 21G of the oil separation member 20, the flow velocity of the blow-by gas is reduced (increased), and the perforated member 70 allows the oil separation member to Oil can be caught on the lower surface 21G of 20. Since a gap G is formed between the perforated member 70 and the gap forming part 40, the oil caught by the perforated member 70 flows from this gap to the internal space 9 side of the head cover 3 from all sides. Can be discharged evenly. Therefore, the gas-liquid separability of blow-by gas can be further improved. The blazer device 10A shown in FIG. 4 can obtain the same effects as the blazer device 10 shown in FIG. 1.

The uneven portion 82 is formed along the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical body 81 and has a plurality of convex portions 83 . The convex portion 83 is formed along the axial direction of the cylindrical body 81, has a triangular cross section, for example, and increases the inner surface area within the cylindrical body 81.

The liquefier 80 shown in FIG. 5 is disposed within the blazer chamber 13 as shown in FIG. 6, and is in close contact with the upper surface 21S of the oil separation member 20. The blow-by gas is liquefied by being pressed against the uneven portion 82 of the liquefaction member 80 and collected on the triangular convex portion 83 of the uneven portion 82 . By using the liquefaction member 80 and the oil separation member 20 in combination, the oil component and gas component of the blow-by gas can be separated more efficiently. By liquefying the blow-by gas, it is possible to prevent the oil contained in the blow-by gas from flowing out of the head cover 3.
