Description

중량측정을 통한 오일 보조 공급장치 및 그 제어방법{Oil auxiliary supplying device and the method using oil weigh}Oil auxiliary supplying device and the method using oil weighing

본 발명은 중량측정을 통한 오일 보조 공급장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 오일팬의 레벨을 측정하기 위한 레벨 감지수단의 저부에 중량계를 장착하여 오일 레벨과 중량에 의해 잔여 오일량을 알 수 있게 함으로써, 오일의 유동이 있더라도 오일소모량을 보다 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 중량측정을 통한 오일 보조 공그급장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an oil auxiliary supply apparatus through weight measurement, and more particularly, by installing a weight scale at the bottom of the level sensing means for measuring the level of the oil pan, the amount of oil remaining by oil level and weight can be known. By doing so, the present invention relates to an oil assisted ball feeding apparatus through weighing, which can more accurately measure the amount of oil consumption even if there is oil flow.

일반적으로 엔진에는 운동부품의 마모나 마멸을 방지하기 위한 장치로서 오일공급장치가 구비되어 있다.In general, the engine is provided with an oil supply device as a device for preventing wear or wear of the moving parts.

오일공급장치는 실린더 블럭의 하부에 설치된 오일팬에 일정량의 오일을 담아 두었다가 엔진시동으로 오일펌프가 구동하게 되면 이에 따라 오일을 메인 오일 겔러리에 공급하게 되고, 메인 오일 겔러리에서 각 운동부위로 공급하게 된다.The oil supply device puts a certain amount of oil in the oil pan installed at the lower part of the cylinder block, and when the oil pump is driven by engine start, it supplies oil to the main oil gallery and supplies it to each movement part from the main oil gallery. do.

이렇게 각 운동부위에 공급되는 오일은 엔진 내부에서 밀폐계를 이루면서 순환하여 다시 오일팬으로 되돌아 오게 되고, 이러한 순환의 반복으로 냉각과 마모 그리고 마멸 등을 막아 주게 된다.In this way, the oil supplied to each of the moving parts circulates in a closed system inside the engine and is returned to the oil pan again. This repetition of the circulation prevents cooling, wear, and abrasion.

한편, 오일은 엔진 구동으로 혼합기에 섞여 연소가 일어나거나 과열에 의해 증발되는 등 여러가지 원인에 의해 소모가 발생하게 되는데, 그 소모량을 확인하고 부족한 오일을 채워주기 위한 오일 보조 공급장치가 구비되어 있다.On the other hand, the oil is mixed with the mixer driven by the engine, the combustion occurs, or the consumption is caused by various causes, such as evaporation due to overheating, the oil auxiliary supply device for checking the consumption amount and filling the insufficient oil is provided.

첨부도면 도 1은 종래의 오일 보조 공급장치를 나타내는 도면으로, 오일공급장치(30)의 오일팬(10) 측면에 수직으로 측정막대(11)를 세워 오일량에 따라 높이 변화를 이용하여 오일의 소모량을 측정하게 된다.1 is a view illustrating a conventional oil auxiliary supply device, and the measuring rod 11 is placed perpendicular to the side surface of the oil pan 10 of the oil supply device 30 to change the height of the oil using a change in height depending on the amount of oil. The consumption is measured.

즉, 상기 오일팬(10)의 측부에 수직으로 투명하고 눈금이 매겨진 측정막대(11)를 설치하고 이 측정막대(11)의 양단을 수평으로 오일팬(10)에 연결하여, 오일(10)팬 내부의 오일레벨에 따라 높이 변화를 일으키도록 구성되어 있다.That is, by installing a vertically transparent and graduated measuring rod 11 on the side of the oil pan 10 and connecting both ends of the measuring rod 11 to the oil pan 10 horizontally, the oil 10 It is configured to change the height according to the oil level inside the pan.

이렇게 이루어진 오일 보조 공급장치(30)는 오일공급장치의 작동으로 각 운동부위에서 오일소모가 일어나게 되면 그 소모량을 뺀 나머지가 오일팬으로 되돌아 오기 때문에 그 량을 측정하여 오일 소모량을 측정하게 된다.The oil auxiliary supply device 30 is configured to measure the oil consumption by measuring the amount because the oil consumption occurs in each movement part by the operation of the oil supply device, so that the remaining oil is returned to the oil pan.

그러나, 기존의 오일 보조 공급장치는 측정막대가 오일팬에 장착되기 때문에 엔진 구동시 오일팬으로 전달되는 진동이나 소음을 그대로 받게 되고, 이에 따라 유면이 불규칙적으로 변하기 때문에 정확한 오일소모량 및 잔여량을 측정하지 못하게 되어 이에 대한 개선이 필요하게 되었다.However, the conventional oil auxiliary supply device receives the vibration or noise transmitted to the oil pan when the engine is running because the measuring rod is mounted on the oil pan, and thus the oil level is changed irregularly so that it is impossible to measure the exact amount of oil consumption and residual amount. There was a need for improvement.

본 발명은 이러한 점을 감안하여 안출한 것으로, 보조 오일탱크와 오일 팬 사이에 측정막대를 사이에 두고 연결관으로 연결되고, 이 연결관에는 제어유니트에 의해 작동되는 밸브가 장착되어 있으며, 상기 측정막대의 저부에는 저울이 장착되어 오일중량에 대한 신호를 제어유니트에 입력시켜 주되, 상기 제어유니트는 오일중량이 기준값과 비교하여 선택적으로 밸브를 개폐시켜 주는 것을 특징으로 하는 중량측정을 통한 오일 보조 공급장치 및 제어방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있는 것이다.The present invention has been made in view of this point, and is connected by a connecting pipe between the auxiliary oil tank and the oil pan with a measuring rod interposed therebetween, and the connecting pipe is equipped with a valve operated by a control unit. At the bottom of the bar, a scale is mounted to input a signal for the oil weight to the control unit, wherein the control unit selectively opens and closes the valve by comparing the oil weight with a reference value. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a control method.

이를 첨부도면을 참조하여 보다 상세하게 설명하면 다음과 같다.This will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

첨부도면 도 2는 본 발명에 따른 오일 보조 공급장치의 구성을 나타내는 구성도로, 도면부호 10은 오일팬을, 11은 측정막대를, 20은 보조 오일탱크를 각각 나타낸다.Accompanying drawings Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the oil auxiliary supply apparatus according to the present invention, 10 is an oil pan, 11 is a measuring rod, 20 is an auxiliary oil tank, respectively.

본 발명은 통상적으로 상기 오일팬(10)의 측부에 장착되어 오일레벨을 측정하는데 사용되는 측정막대(11)의 저부에 저울(12)을 장착하고, 이 저울(12)로 측정된 오일 중량이 기준값과 비교하여 오차값보다 클 경우 보조 오일탱크(20)로부터 오일 공급을 받을 수 있도록 한 것이다.In the present invention, the scale 12 is mounted on the bottom of the measuring rod 11 which is typically mounted on the side of the oil pan 10 and used to measure the oil level, and the oil weight measured by the scale 12 is Compared with the reference value, if the error value is larger than the auxiliary oil tank 20 to receive the oil supply.

여기서, 상기 측정막대(11)는 통상 투명 재질로 눈금을 갖는 막대로 상기 오일팬(10)의 측부에 설치되어 남아 있는 오일량을 알 수 있도록 이루어진 종래의 기술로 제작된 것을 그대로 사용하게 되며, 상기 보조 오일탱크(20)는 미도시된 제어유니트(40)의 제어를 받는 밸브(21)를 통해 오일팬(10)으로 연관되어 있다.Here, the measuring rod 11 is a rod having a scale made of a transparent material in general, and used as it is made in the prior art made to know the amount of oil remaining installed on the side of the oil pan 10, The auxiliary oil tank 20 is connected to the oil pan 10 through the valve 21 under the control of the control unit 40, not shown.

특히, 상기 제어유니트(40)는 측정막대(11)에 충진된 오일의 중량, 즉 오일팬(10)의 잔여량에 대한 높이로 나타나는 오일의 중량에 따라 밸브(21)의 개폐시기를 결정하게 되며, 이를 위해서 통상 정상적으로 오일팬(10)에 충진되는 오일량에 대한 높이만큼의 중량을 이미 기준값으로 설정해 놓고, 이 기준값과 엔진 가동 등으로 오일의 소모시에 저울(12)에 의해 측정되는 오일의 중량을 비교하여 그 차가오차값의 범위를 넘게 되는가를 판단하게 된다.In particular, the control unit 40 determines the opening and closing timing of the valve 21 according to the weight of the oil filled in the measuring rod 11, that is, the weight of the oil represented by the height of the remaining amount of the oil pan 10. For this purpose, the weight as much as the height of the amount of oil normally filled in the oil pan 10 has already been set as a reference value, and the oil measured by the scale 12 when the oil is consumed by the reference value and engine operation, etc. The weight is compared to determine whether the difference exceeds the range of the error value.

만일, 오차값이 허용치 이상이면 제어유니트(40)는 밸브(21)를 개구시켜 보조오일탱크(20)로부터 오일팬(10)으로 부족분만큼의 오일을 공급하게 되고, 오차값이 허용치 이하이면 밸브(21)를 닫아 오일공급을 중단하게 된다.If the error value is greater than or equal to the allowable value, the control unit 40 opens the valve 21 to supply the shortage of oil from the auxiliary oil tank 20 to the oil pan 10. If the error value is less than the allowable value, the valve The oil supply is stopped by closing (21).

물론, 상기 제어유니트(40)는 이러한 측정값과 설정값의 비교를 일정시간을 두고 실시간으로 측정하여 비교하게 하는 것이 바람직하며, 이러한 측정 비교로 항상 오일팬(10)에는 적정량의 오일이 충진되게 하는 것이 가능하게 되는 것이다.Of course, the control unit 40 is preferably to compare the measured value and the set value in real time over a certain time to compare, and the oil pan 10 is always filled with the appropriate amount of oil by the comparison of the measurement It is possible to do that.

한편, 첨부도면 도 3은 본 발명에 따른 오일 보조 공급장치의 제어방법을 나타내는 플로우 챠트로, 오일의 충진 상태를 살펴보면 다음과 같다.On the other hand, Figure 3 is a flow chart showing a control method of the oil auxiliary supply apparatus according to the present invention, look at the state of filling oil as follows.

따라서, 측정막대(11)를 통해 육안으로도 오일팬(10)의 충진된 오일량을 확인할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 엔진의 소음 또는 진동으로 떨림이 발생하더라도 그 중량에 의해 오일량을 확인하는 것이 가능하게 된다.Therefore, not only can the oil amount of the oil pan 10 be visually confirmed through the measurement bar 11, but also the amount of oil can be checked by its weight even if vibration occurs due to noise or vibration of the engine. do.

이상에서 본 바와 같이 본 발명은 오일의 잔량을 측정막대의 높이 뿐만 아니라 오일의 중량에 의해서도 측정가능하게 되어, 엔진 구동 등으로 진동이나 떨림이 발생하더라도 정확한 오일잔량을 측정하고, 그 부족한 오일량을 공급할 수 있는 효과가 있는 것이다.As described above, the present invention can measure the remaining amount of oil not only by the height of the measuring rod but also by the weight of the oil. There is an effect that can be supplied.
