- the hydraulic operation unit when the hydraulic operation unit is defined as a first hydraulic operation unit, upstream oil that supplies oil discharged from the oil pump to the first hydraulic operation unit as the oil supply passage. And a downstream oil passage connected to the upstream oil passage and the second hydraulic operation portion having a lower required oil pressure than the first hydraulic operation portion.
- a hydraulic pressure sensor for detecting the hydraulic pressure and a hydraulic pressure adjusting device capable of adjusting the hydraulic pressure, and the control device causes the oil pump to discharge an amount of oil that exceeds a discharge amount corresponding to the target hydraulic pressure.
- This configuration makes it possible to maintain the oil pressure in the downstream oil passage appropriately even if the engine is in an engine operating state that results in a high oil temperature state and the oil discharge amount is thereby increased.
- the oil supply device includes an oil temperature sensor that detects the oil temperature in the oil supply passage, and the control device detects that the engine is high when the oil temperature detected by the oil temperature sensor is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature. It is preferable to determine that the oil temperature is in the operating state.
- the oil supply device includes an oil supply unit that is connected to the oil supply passage and injects oil into the piston when the engine speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined engine speed, and the control device is configured to have the predetermined engine speed and It is preferable that it is determined that the engine is in an operating state in which the engine is in the high oil temperature state in at least one specific operating state that is equal to or higher than a predetermined engine load.
- the piston is cooled by injecting oil from the oil supply portion to the piston when at least one specific operation state of a predetermined engine speed or higher and a predetermined engine load or higher is reached.
- the oil receives heat from the piston, but since the amount of oil discharged by the oil pump is increased, the temperature rise of the oil is suppressed.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明に係るオイル供給装置が適用された多気筒エンジン2(以下、単にエンジン2という)を示している。このエンジン2は、第1~第4気筒が順に図1の紙面に垂直な方向に直列に配置された直列4気筒ガソリンエンジンであって、自動車等の車両に搭載される。
次に、図2を参照しながら、弁停止機構付きHLA25の弁停止機構25bについて説明する。この弁停止機構25bは、上記の通り、上記吸気弁14及び排気弁15を、その作動を許容する状態と停止させる状態とに切り換えることにより、エンジン2の運転状態を、全気筒の吸排気弁14,15を作動させる(開閉動作させる)全筒運転状態と、第1、第4気筒の吸排気弁14,15の作動を停止(開閉動作を停止)させて、第2、第3気筒の吸排気弁14,15だけを作動をさせる減筒運転状態とに切り換えるものである。換言すれば、エンジン2が全筒運転制御されるときは、弁停止機構25bが停止され、これにより第1、第4気筒を含む、全気筒の吸排気弁14、15の開閉動作が行われる一方、エンジン2が減筒運転制御されるときは、弁停止機構25bが油圧作動され、これにより全気筒のうち、第1、第4気筒の吸排気弁14、15の開閉動作が停止される。
エンジン2には、その全気筒において、吸気弁14の弁特性を変更する可変バルブタイミング機構32(以下、VVT32という)と排気弁15の弁特性を変更する可変バルブタイミング機構33(以下、VVT33という)とが組み込まれている。
次に、図4を参照しながら、エンジン2の各油圧作動部にオイル(作動油)を供給するためのオイル供給装置1について詳細に説明する。なお、「油圧作動部」とは、オイルの油圧を受けて作動する装置(すなわちHLA24、25やVVT32、33等)、又はオイルをその油圧により潤滑用又は冷却用として対象物に供給するオイル供給部(すなわち、オイルジェット28やオイル供給部29、30等)を指す。
上記のようなオイル供給装置1によれば、油温が基準上限温度Tlim未満の通常のエンジン2の運転状態では、その運転状態毎に、VVT32,33、弁停止機構25b、オイルジェット28およびクランク軸9のジャーナル等のメタルベアリングのオイル供給部41,42等の油圧作動部の要求油圧のうちで最も高い要求油圧が目標油圧とされ、油圧センサ70により検出される油圧(実油圧)が目標油圧になるように、オイルポンプ36の吐出量がフィードバック制御される。そのため、各油圧作動部の作動油圧(要求油圧)を適切に確保しながら、オイルポンプ36の駆動負荷を必要最小限に保ち、これにより燃費の向上を図ることができる。
次に、本発明の第2実施形態について図面を用いて説明する。
図12に示す、第2実施形態のエンジン2′は、弁停止機構25bを備えていない。すなわち、エンジン2′には、その全気筒について、各スイングアーム20,21のピボット機構として、弁停止機構の無いHLA24が設けられている。
図13に示すように、第2実施形態のオイル供給装置1′においては、メインギャラリ54に、ピストン潤滑用のオイルジェット56とそのオイル噴射をオンオフする開閉弁57が接続されている。また、VVT33(進角油圧室336及び遅角油圧室335)が排気側第1方向切替弁35を介して第2連通路52に接続されている。
第2実施形態のオイル供給装置1′によれば、エンジン2′の運転状態毎に、VVT32、クランク軸9の第2、第4番メタルベアリングのオイル供給部41a(41)及びオイルジェット28、56の要求油圧のうちで最も高い要求油圧が第1目標油圧とされる。そして、第2連通路52に設けられた第1油圧センサ70aにより検出される油圧(実油圧)が該第1目標油圧になるように、オイルポンプ36の吐出量がフィードバック制御される。そのため、各油圧作動部の作動油圧(要求油圧)を適切に確保しながら、オイルポンプ36の駆動負荷を必要最小限に保ち、燃費の向上を図ることができる。
ところで、以上説明したオイル供給装置1、1′は、本発明にかかるエンジンのオイル供給装置の好ましい実施形態の例示であって、その具体的な構成は、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更可能である。
