Definitions

  • Tappet high pressure pump comprising at least one tappet, engine comprising at least one tappet, engine comprising a high pressure pump having at least one tappet and method of lubricating a surface of a cam
  • the present invention relates to a tappet, to a high pressure pump comprising at least one tappet, to an engine having at least one such tap- pet, to an engine comprising a high pressure pump comprising at least one such tappet and to a method of lubricating a surface of a cam.
  • Engines and their components are typically cooled and lubricated by means of oil that is circulated throughout the engine to lubricate and cool the various engine components, such as bearings and other moving parts.
  • oil drops from the top of the engine to the bottom of the engine via gravity.
  • wet oil sump is provided at the bottom end of the engine. The oil is recirculated in such engines to the top of the engine directly from this oil sump for a continuous lubrication and cooling of the engine.
  • an engine comprising a dry sump is an engine in which the oil is caught in a relatively small so-called dry oil sump and the oil is transported from the dry sump to a secondary reservoir remote from the actual engine sump for cooling and storage purposes. Following the cooling of the oil in the remote secondary reservoir, the oil is subsequently pumped from the secondary reservoir back to the engine to lubricate the engine. To this end the oil is pumped back into the engine and to some of the components, like a fuel pump, associated with the engine at at least one specific point arranged at the top end of the engine or of the components from where it is then recirculated.
  • the top end of the engine typically comprises the cam shaft and the tappets operatively connected thereto, due to the point-like injection into the top of the engine, the components arranged at the top end may suffer from a lack of lubrication.
  • Such a roller tappet for an engine preferably a diesel engine, and/or for a high pressure diesel fuel pump, comprises a body having a roller reception space that is formed at one end of the body and that is adapted to receive a roller, wherein the body further comprises a lubricant supply groove and a tappet alignment groove, wherein a first fluid communicating connection is present between the lubricant supply groove for the reception and/or at least intermediate storage of lubricant, such as oil, and the roller reception space for the supply of lubricant to an outlet that opens into the roller reception space.
  • the invention is characterized in that a second fluid communicating connection is present in the roller tappet that is provided to guide some of the lubricant supplied to the lubricant supply groove to a second point of application, with the second point of application being remote from the outlet.
  • This second fluid communicating connection e.g. present in the form of a bypass, provides the possibility of supplying oil or lubricant to a surface of a cam at a second point of application, to increase the lubrica- tion of the roller tappet and parts operatively connected thereto and hence to reduce the friction at the surface of a roller and to thereby increase a durability of the roller of the roller tappet.
  • this form of lubrication is made possible without the use of additional pumps and spray units. Thus, no extensive re-designs of parts of the cambox are necessary.
  • roller tappet can simply replace prior art roller tappets as the lubricant supply is already present in any event, so that the roller tappets described herein can advantageously be retrofitted on engine or pump overhauls to increase the lifetime of the engine or the fuel pump associated therewith.
  • the second fluid communicating connection is provided in the form of a bore, a channel, groove and/or a passage.
  • Such through holes or passages can be provided in simple manufacturing process either using a milling machine, a lathe or the like.
  • the second fluid communicating connection extends, at least in part, towards the end of the body that is adapted to receive the roller.
  • a lubricant can be directed via the roller tappet to the component adjacent to the roller of the roller tappet e.g. a cam and provide the oil directly in the vicinity of the cam without the use of an additional lubricant supply. Since the cam is in operative engagement with a roller of the roller tappet this second point of application of lubrication, in particular indirectly, also provides lubricant at the roller of the roller tappet. This is in stark contrast to designs in which the cambox is flooded with lubricant and which hence consume more lubricant.
  • the second fluid communicating connection is formed adjacent to the outlet of the first lubricant supply passage in a surface of the roller reception space.
  • the flow of lubricant supplied to the outlet via the first lubricant supply passage can be utilized to provide the lubricant at the second point of application without the use of dedicat- ed further pumps or other similar mechanisms.
  • the outlet is provided as a recess in a surface of the roller reception space.
  • a lubricant reservoir is made available at the roller tappet by means of which the second fluid communicating connection can be supplied with lubricant to ensure the advanced lubrication by way of an inherently present motion of the roller tappet.
  • the second fluid communicating connection is provided as a, preferably open, channel in the surface of the roller reception space. A channel can be machined in a simple manner and due to the fact that the channel is open lubricant leaking from the channel can also be used to directly lubricate the roller of the roller tappet.
  • the channel preferably extends from the outlet to the one end of the body. In this way the channel opens adjacent to the surface of the cam cooperating with the roller of the roller tappet in order to improve the lubrication of the surface of the cam and thereby of the roller of the roller tappet.
  • the channel can extend circumferentially within the surface of the roller reception space.
  • the channel follows the geometry of the roller reception space between the outlet and the end of the body, such that when a roller is present in the roller reception space a flow path is provided between the body and the roller in order to transfer the lubricant around the roller and onto the surface of the cam.
  • the second fluid communicating connection comprises the lubricant supply groove, the tappet alignment groove and a bore, passage, groove and/or channel that connects the lubricant supply groove to the tappet alignment groove.
  • the roller tappet in accordance with the invention connects parts already present in a roller tappet to form the second fluid communicating connection, by machining various kinds of addi- tional pathways into such roller tappets.
  • the tappet alignment groove is open at the said one end of the body comprising the roller reception space and if it opens into the bore, passage or channel that connects the lubricant supply groove to the tappet alignment groove at the other end of the tappet alignment groove to thereby form at least part of the second fluid communicating connection.
  • the second fluid communicating connection is provided in the form of a bore that passes through the body of the roller tappet.
  • Such a bore is simple to manufacture does not decrease the sta- bility of the roller tappet and hence does not negatively influence the running properties of the roller tappet relative to a cambox into which it can be installed.
  • the bore is arranged perpendicular to both the tappet alignment groove and the lubricant supply groove and the bore connects the tappet alignment groove and the lubricant supply groove.
  • the oil is supplied to the roller tappet in a plane perpendicular to this bore and preferably in a pulsed manner, thus forming the bore per- pendicular to both the tappet alignment groove and the lubricant supply groove means that the pressure wave present during the injection of lubricant can be used for the supply of the lubricant from the lubricant supply groove to the tappet alignment groove.
  • the bore has a varying diameter over its length.
  • the bore has at least two regions with different diameters, in particular with the smallest diameter being arranged adjacent to the lubri- cant supply groove. In this way the flow of lubricant from the lubricant supply groove to the tappet alignment groove can be controlled and/or regulated.
  • annular groove is provided at an outer surface of the body in the end region of the body remote from the end of the body comprising the roller reception space. This groove can aid the lubrication of the cambox.
  • the second fluid communicating connection comprises the annular groove.
  • the annular groove directly opens into the lubricant supply groove at a side of the roller tappet and wherein a lubricant supply channel connects the annular groove and the tappet alignment groove to form part of the second fluid communicating connection that is, in particular present between the tappet alignment groove and the lubri- cant supply groove.
  • Utilizing the annular groove as part of the second fluid communicating connection reduces the amount of machining that has to be carried out on a roller tappet.
  • a design option is made available by means of the provision of the lubricant supply channel as either a through bore or as a recess at the outer surface of the roller tappet at the side of the tappet remote from the lubricant supply groove.
  • the present invention relates to a high pressure pump having at least one roller tappet as described herein.
  • the roller tappet 10 is in operative engagement with a surface of a cam.
  • the present invention relates to an engine having at least one roller tappet as described herein that is optionally in operative engagement with a surface of a cam. The advantages described in connection with the roller tappet are likewise true in connection with the engine described herein.
  • the present invention relates to an engine having a high pressure pump having at least one roller tappet as described herein that is optionally in operative engagement with a surface of a cam.
  • the advantages described in connection with the roller tappet are likewise true in connection with the high pressure pump.
  • the invention relates to a method of lubricating a surface of a cam by means of a roller tappet, in particular using a roller tappet as described herein.
  • the method comprising the steps of:
  • the roller tappet is configured for reciprocal motion, with the reciprocal motion corresponding to a pumping phase in a first direction of motion of the roller tappet and to a filling phase in a second direction of motion of the roller tappet.
  • the roller tappet is configured to collect lubricant in the tappet alignment groove during the pumping phase.
  • the roller tappet is then configured to eject the lubricant collected in the tappet alignment groove for a lubrication of a cam surface that can be operatively connected to the roller tappet.
  • Utilizing the filling phase to lubricate the cam surface means that the lubricant can be supplied to the surface of the cam in a pulsed manner by way of the inherently present reciprocal motion of the roller tappet.
  • the tappet alignment groove is in operative engagement with a tappet alignment pin in an installed state of the roller tappet for controlling the reciprocal motion and wherein the roller tappet is further con- figured to eject the lubricant from the tappet alignment groove via the tappet alignment pin during the filling phase.
  • Utilizing an already present tappet alignment pin for carrying out not only a guidance of the roller tappet, but also spraying lubricant onto the surface of a cam means that no re-design of the cambox is required to spray the surface of the cam using the second fluid communicating connection.

  • a roller re- ception space 32 can be seen that has the inner surface 27 adapted to the outer shape of the roller so that the roller 18 is journaled in the roller reception space 32.

  • the length of the lubricant supply groove 20 can be selected within the range of 25 to 75 %, preferably within 33 to 66%, of the height of the roller tappet 10.
  • the lubricant supply channel 50 is provided as a recess at the outer surface of the roller tappet 10.
  • the lubricant supply channel 50 has a reduced depth relative to a depth of the tappet alignment groove 28.
  • the depth of the lubricant supply channel 50 corresponds to approximately 50% of the depth of the tappet alignment groove 28.
  • the lubricant supply channel 50 extends from the annular groove 34 to the shoulder 48, where it opens into the tappet alignment groove 28.
  • a bypass is provided that directs some of the lubricant that was previously directed to a surface of a roller of a roller tappet, to a surface 14 of the cam 16 that can be in operative engagement with the roller tappet 10.
  • bypass In the first case of application the bypass is present in the form of the channel 25 (see Figs. 1 a and 1 b). In the second case of application the bypass forms a connection between the lubricant supply groove 20 and the tappet alignnnent groove 28 (see Figs. 2 to 4b).
