Abstract
A shaft mounting device for an internal combustion engine includes a bearing body having a mounting base for engaging an engine structure, and a semi-circular bore which is serviced by a lubricant distribution channel. An integral flow regulator, which is formed in place as a partial hydraulic obstruction, is located within the lubricant distribution channel. Because the flow restriction is integral, a separately machined flow restrictor is eliminated.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a shaft mounting device for use in an internal combustion engine. The inventive device provides both lubrication and retention to a rotating shaft within an engine, with the flow of lubrication being controlled by an integral flow restrictor contained within a bearing body portion of the shaft mounting device.
- 2. Disclosure Information
- Modern pressure-lubricated, multicylinder internal combustion engines have literally dozens of bearings which must be supplied with lubricant by means of a centrally located oil pump. As part of the engine development process, the amount of lubricant reaching each bearing must be carefully metered so as to assure that all bearings are adequately lubricated, but without scheduling too much lubricant.
- Oversupplying lubricant to engine bearings is disadvantageous for at least two reasons. First, an oversized oil pump will consume excessive energy, which degrades fuel economy. And, excessive churning of the oil by an oversize pump needlessly increases the amount of heat put into the oil. Thus, engine developers go through a tuning process in which the amount of oil going through various passages is carefully controlled. One method for controlling the amount of oil flowing through a passage is by placing a restrictor in the passage.
FIG. 5 shows a prior art restrictor incorporated withinbearing cap 100, which is maintained in contact with an engine part by means ofscrews 102. Bearingcap 100 has a lubricant channel, 104, which is provided with oil by means oflubricant supply port 108. The actual flow of oil throughchannel 104 is controlled byflow restrictor 110, which includes an axially drilledpassage 112, and a radially drilledpassage 114. - A problem with the prior art restrictor shown in
FIG. 5 resides in the fact thatrestrictor 110 requires additional expense because of the need to machine passages within the restrictor. These fine passages must be carefully cleaned and inspected during manufacturing of the restrictor, and this adds more expense. Moreover, fine passageways may become plugged with contamination, thereby starving a bearing intended to be furnished with oil. - It is known to manufacture a bearing cap with a restrictor by starting with a part having an unmachined lubricant passage. A milling process removes material to define the channel, including the restrictor. Unfortunately, such machining is expensive and time consuming.
- A shaft mounting device according to the present invention provides oil flow regulation which is easily tunable, but which is available at a lower cost than prior art lubricant regulation devices.
- A shaft mounting device for an internal combustion engine includes a bearing body having a mounting base for engaging an engine structure. A semi-circular bore is formed in the bearing body. The semi-circular bore extends upwardly from the mounting base. A lubricant inlet port extends upwardly from the mounting base and communicates with a lubricant distribution channel extending about the circumference of the semi-circular bore. An integral flow regulator is located in the lubricant distribution channel downstream from the lubricant inlet port. The flow regulator preferably comprises a formed-in-place hydraulic obstruction extending partially into the lubricant distribution channel from a base portion of the channel. The hydraulic obstruction is integral with the bearing body.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the present inventive bearing body may advantageously be formed from a sintered metal powder. Alternatively, the bearing body may be formed from die cast metal, or other types of metallic or non-metallic composite materials known to those skilled in the art and suggested by its disclosure.
- The present shaft mounting device may be employed to secure a crankshaft within an engine, or a camshaft, or other type of rotating or sliding shafts requiring lubrication furnished through a cap-type of mounting device.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, a cylinder head for an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head casting with at least one camshaft retained upon the cylinder head casting. The camshaft has a lubricant supply passage. At least one camshaft retainer having a cap-shaped bearing body, with a mounting base for engaging the cylinder head casting, is mounted on the casting so as to secure the camshaft. The cap-shaped bearing body has a semi-circular bore formed in the bearing body which cooperates with the mating semi-circular bore formed in the cylinder head casting to define a bearing surface for encircling a portion of the camshaft. A lubricant inlet port extends upwardly from the mounting base and receives lubricant from a mating passage within the cylinder head.
- It is an advantage of a shaft mounting device according to the present invention that lubricant flow may be carefully controlled, with minimal risk of losing flow due to plugging of a flow restrictor.
- It is a further advantage of a shaft mounting device according to the present invention that the flow restriction incorporated integrally in the bearing body of the shaft mounting device may be easily adjusted to change the amount of flow reaching bearings downstream from the restrictor.
- It is a further advantage of the present shaft mounting device that the integral restrictor is less costly than prior art restrictors, because the hydraulic obstruction may be formed during the casting portion of a manufacturing process for the shaft mounting device, which is particularly facilitated in the case in which the bearing body is formed from either cast metal or sintered powder metal.
- Other advantages, as well as features and objects of the present invention, will become apparent to the reader of this specification.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of an engine cylinder head including a shaft mounting device according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of a portion of the cylinder head shown inFIG. 1 , taken along the line 2-2 ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a section view taken along the line 3-3 ofFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the present shaft mounting device, in this case a camshaft cap, showing the underside ofcap 22. -
FIG. 5 illustrates a prior art camshaft cap. - As shown in
FIG. 1 ,cylinder head 10 hascamshaft 14, which is maintained in contact withcylinder head 10 by means of a plurality of inventive shaft mounting devices, which are embodied ascamshaft caps 22. As fully described below, oil needed for the operation ofcamshaft 14 is presented to mountingdevices 22 by means of lubricant supply passages formed incylinder head 10. -
FIGS. 2 and 3 show a lubricant supply passage, 54, which is formed incylinder head 10. Lubrication flowing up throughpassage 54 enterslubricant inlet port 58, which is formed incamshaft cap 22. It is noted thatcap 22 has a mounting base, 30, which allowscap 22 to be securely attached tocylinder head 10 by means ofscrews 38.Cap 22 has a cap-shaped bearing body, 26, with a semi-circular bore, 50, formed therein.Bore 50 cooperates withbore 52 formed incylinder head 10 to define a bearing surface for encircling a portion ofcamshaft 14. The portion ofcamshaft 14 which is encircled bycamshaft retainer 22 includes two radially extendingbores 46, which allow oil introduced toshaft mounting device 22 fromlubricant supply passage 54 to eventually entercamshaft 14, and then to proceed along the length of longitudinal bore 42 (FIG. 3 ) which is formed incamshaft 14. - The elegance and simplicity of the present invention are fully displayed in
FIG. 2 , whereinhydraulic obstruction 66 is illustrated. Because the entirety ofshaft mounting device 22, includinghydraulic obstruction 66, as well aslubricant distribution channel 62, are formed in place during casting or sintering ofdevice 22, the risks and expense of machining are eliminated. In that regard, it is well to note that machining risk includes the problem of under-machining passages, which may cause unwanted flow restriction. - In essence,
hydraulic obstruction 66 functions as a weir, or flow regulator, extending partially into the upstream end oflubricant distribution channel 62.Hydraulic obstruction 66 is also shown inFIG. 4 . It is easily seen fromFIGS. 2 and 4 that the height and length ofhydraulic obstruction 66 may be easily decreased during engine development work, so as to tune the flow of lubricant fluid passing fromlubricant inlet port 58 tolubricant distribution channel 62. Note also that the adjustment of the size ofhydraulic obstruction 66 during engine development may be accomplished with the use of simple grinding tools; unlike the situation with the prior art restrictor shown inFIG. 5 , it is often not necessary to re-machine a separate oil restrictor, which must be then carefully cleaned of chips. - The problems encountered in manufacturing the prior art restrictor of
FIG. 5 in large quantities are difficult to understate, given that the drillings required to manufacture the restrictor result in contamination, which, if not carefully removed during the manufacturing process, may cause subsequent damage, if not failure, of the very bearings which lubricant is meant to protect. This issue also arises with prior art bearing caps having machined oil distribution channels. As noted above, this difficulty is not an issue with the present inventive solution, which provides oil restriction in a robust, cost-effective manner. - Those skilled in the art will appreciate in view of this disclosure that the present shaft mounting device could be constructed from diecast metals, or sintered metal powders. Alternatively, various other materials, such as composite metallic and non-metallic materials could be employed.
- While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, numerous variations and alternate embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only in terms of the appended claims.
