Abstract
An adapter (10) for connecting a bypass oil filter to an internal combustion engine (14) having a full flow lubricating system is mounted between the oil filter mounting block (12) and the conventional full flow filter (16). The adapter includes means (48, 52) for diverting a portion of the circulating oil flow to the bypass filter and means (46, 74, 76) for returning that portion to the engine. The adapter includes a body portion (36) and an insert (60) which together define the passages necessary for diverting a portion of the oil flow to the bypass filter. The body includes a central axial (38) opening which receives the insert, the body and insert together defining an annular chamber (76) which receives clean oil from the bypass filter through a radial passage (46) in the body. An axial passage (68) in the insert allows clean oil to flow from the full flow filter to the engine and a plurality of radial passages (74) allow clean oil from the bypass filter to enter the axial passage (68) regardless of the relative orientations of the insert and the body. Additional passages are formed in the body to provide the remaining flow paths necessary for the bypass flow.
Description
BYPASS OIL FI TER ADAPTER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a bypass oil filtering system for an internal combustion engine, and more particularly to an adapter for connect¬ ing a bypass oil filter to an engine lubrication system while leaving the full flow filter in place.
In general, internal combustion lubrication systems operate on either a full flow or bypass princi¬ ple. In full flow operation, the entire circulating oil stream is passed through the engine oil filter (referred to as a full flow oil filter) before it returns to the engine. In a bypass system, only a portion of the circulating oil strealrt is passed through the engine oil filter (referred to as a bypass oil filter) prior to being returned to the engine. The full flow filter and the bypass filter each offer benefits not found in the other. The bypass oil filter will typically be more efficient and achieve a higher degree of contaminant removal than the full flow filter, but filters the oil less frequently. Conversely, the full flow filter filters the oil more often, but must use a relatively coarse filtering media in order to pass the entire volume of circulating oil required to lubricate the engine. Such a coarse media does not remove small contaminant particles, causing sludge deposits and contributing to engine wear.
Moreover, as dirt accumulates in a full flow filter, the flow of oil is restricted. To prevent cessation of oil flow, the full flow filter system must be provided with a bypass valve that opens when the pressure drop across the full flow filter becomes excessive. The bypass valve allows oil to continue circulating, but such oil is not filtered at all.
While most automobile engines are equipped only with a full flow filtering system, many people desire to add on a bypass filter to enjoy the advantages associated with each system. Heretofore, bypass filters have been connected to full flow lubrication systems by means of an adapter placed between the full flow filter mounting block and the full flow filter itself. The oil is returned to the engine block typically by tapping the oil pan or by using a hollow bolt. The need to punch a hole in the oil pan or otherwise tamper with the engine block is undesirable and it would therefore be useful to provide an adapter having means both for supplying dirty oil to the bypass filter and returning the filtered oil to the engine. 2. Description of the Prior Art
A bypass oil filter is described in U.S. Patent No. 3,308,956 to Yee, et al. , an oil filter adapter for connecting a bypass filter to an internal combustion engine is disclosed in U.S. Patent no. to Sanderson.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an adapter which may be mounted on a conventional filter mounting block on an internal combustion engine having a full flow lubrication system. The adapter includes means for passing the major portion of the circulating oil flow to the full flow filter which is mounted directly thereon. The adapter also includes means for providing a bypass oil flow, which comprises from about 5 to 25% of the total circulating oil flow, to a bypass filter and for returning the bypass stream after it has been filtered to the engine. In this, way, the ability of a bypass filter to reduce sludge and other small particu- lates in the circulating oil stream may be enjoyed on an engine having a full flow lubrication system. Moreover, this benefit is achieved without modifying
the engine in any way and requires only that the adapter be placed between the filter mounting block and the full flow filter. The adapter comprises a body having various passages formed therein and an insert which couples directly to both the engine mounting block and the full flow filter to secure the assembly of the mounting block, the filter and the adapter tightly together. The body includes a central opening defining three sections of increasing cross-sectional area. The face of the adapter which includes the smallest section of the passage also includes an annular channel formed therein for receiving dirty oil from the mounting block. An axial passage connects the annular channel with the full flow filter to pass the majority of the oil to said filter. A first radial passage defines the dirty oil outlet for the bypass filter. A second radial passage defines the clean oil'"inlet from the bypass filter and is in fluid communication with the second section of the central opening.
The insert includes means for securing both the filter mounting block and the full flow filter and acts as a bridge in connecting the two. The insert may be inserted into the central passage of the body and holds the body in proper alignment with the mounting block and the full flow filter when so connected. Additionally, the insert and the second section of the central opening of the body together define an annular chamber which receives the clean oil flowing in through the second radial passage. The insert further includes an axial passage for flowing clean oil from the full flow filter to the mounting block and at least one radial passage allowing clean oil from the annular chamber to flow into the axial passage and eventually return to the engine.
The bypass oil filter adapter of the present invention provides a particularly compact device for
OMPI
connecting a bypass filter to an engine having a conventional full flow lubrication system. Moreover, by providing an insert for connecting the filter to the mounting block and a body which may be freely rotated relative to the insert, the connections to the adapter for the bypass filter may be oriented as desired for convenient connection to the bypass filter.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, an adapter 10 may be mounted on an oil filter mounting block 12-of an internal combustion engine 14 (partly illustrated in Fig. 1) having a full flow lubrication system. With such a lubrication system, the entire recirculating oil flow of the engine is directed to a conventional oil filter 16 (partly illustrated in Fig. 1), typically by a passage such as outlet 18, which terminates in a conical depression 20 formed in one end of the mounting block 12. The oil flow is returned to the engine through inlet 22 defined by a threaded stud 24 pro- jecting downward (as viewed in Fig. 1) from the apex of the conical depression 20. In the absence of the adapter 10 the full flow filter 16 will mount directly on the stud 24 by means of a threaded port 26, which defines the clean oil outlet of the filter. Dirty oil enters the filter 16 through a plurality of inlet ports 28 which communicate with a plenum defined by the
conical depression 20 and the upper surface of the filter 16 when the filter is mounted on the mounting block 12. As the oil passes from the inlet 28 to the outlet 26, it is filtered through the filtering media in a conventional manner which does not form a part of this invention and need not be described.
Although the oil filter mounting block 12 and oil filter 16 just described are typical of those found on internal combustion engines, such as automobile engines, the exact configurations may vary. The adapter 10 of the present invention, however, can be modified slightly to conform to the particular configu¬ ration encountered. The adapter 10 includes a body 36, typically an aluminum casting having a plurality of passages and voids formed therein, as will now be described. A central opening 38 defines three sections 40, 42 and 44 of successively larger cross-sectional area. A first radial conduit 46 extends between the middle section 42 of the central opening 38 and the outer cylindrical wall of the body 36. The conduit 46 defines the oil return from the bypass filter, as will be described in more detail hereinafter. An annular channel 48 is formed in the upper face (as viewed in Fig. 1) of the body 36 and surrounds the small section 40 of the central opening 38. The channel 48 is positioned so that it receives oil from the outlet 18 when the adapter 10 is mounted on the block 12. A plurality of axial conduits 50 define a passage from the annular channel 48 to the inlet ports 28 of the filter 16. A second radial conduit 52 defines a dirty oil outlet for connection to the bypass filter. Both the inlet 46 and the outlet 52 are threaded for convenient connection to flexible connect¬ ing lines (not shown) which may be routed as necessary to the remotely mounted bypass filter (not shown).
An insert 60 includes an internally threaded cylinder 62, a flange 64 and an externally threaded nipple 66. An axial passage 68 includes a narrow portion 70 passing through the nipple 66 and a larger portion 72 which defines the threaded cylinder 62. A plurality of ports 74 are formed through the cylindrical wall 62 at a position sufficiently close to the flange 64 so that the passages are not blocked when the insert 60 is mounted on the mounting block stud 24.
Referring now in particular to Fig. 3, when the insert 60 is inserted into the body 36, an annular chamber 76 is defined by the second section 42 of the axial opening 38 and the outer cylindrical wall 62 of the insert. Further, by matching the diameter of the cylinder 62 with the internal diameter of the first section 40 of the opening 38, the upper end of the annular chamber is sealed. Typically, an O-ring 78 is provided to assure a tight seal. Additionally, the flange 64 on the insert 60 mates with a radial face 80 defined by the transition between the second section 42 and the third section 44 of the opening 38. This mating seals .the lower end of the annular chamber 76. Oil flows into the annular chamber 76 from the bypass filter by means of the first radial conduit 46. The chamber then forms a header which evenly distributes the oil among the several radial passages 74 in the insert 60. The chamber 76 allows the body 36 to be rotated relative to the insert 60 without affecting the passage of oil into the axial passage 68 of the insert 60. This feature is important since it allows the assembly of the full flow filter 16, the adapter 10 and the mounting block 12 to be fully tightened regard¬ less of the rotational orientation of the adapter body 36 relative to the mounting block 12 and/or the filter 16. Thus, the connections 46 and 52 may be rotated relative to the block 12 as convenient to allow access to said connections.
v.ipυ y
An annular groove 84 formed in the upper face of the body 36 receives a sealing ring 86 which prevents oil leakage between the adapter 10 and the filter mounting block 12.
Although the best mode contemplated for carrying out the present invention has been herein shown and described, it will be appreciated that variations and modifications may be made without departing from what is regarded to be the subject matter of the present invention.
