Assembly for supplying lubrication to the bearings of a combustion engine of a motor vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly for supplying the lubrication to the bearings of a combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The assembly includes a lubricant pump (2) and a lubricant-pressure accumulator (4) via which the bearings of the internal combustion engine can be supplied in an engine starting phase and / or an engine stop switching phase, regardless of the lubricant pump (2) with the lubricant.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an assembly for supplying lubricant to a support (lager, sometimes called a bearing) of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] Internal combustion engines of motor vehicles require lubrication for bearings of the internal combustion engine, in particular for the highly loaded sliding bearings of the crankshaft, connecting rods and camshafts. Lubricant pumps are used for this purpose, which are mechanically driven by the internal combustion engine in order to supply lubricant under pressure for lubrication. [0003] Lubricants are also often referred to as oils (?l, sometimes motor oils), even though they are not usually oils these days. Accordingly, the lubricant pumps required for this are often referred to as oil pumps or oil pressure pumps. [0004] In order to generate an oil pressure for the lubrication of bearings and shafts with low wear, the lubricant pump requires a defined mi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Especially in highly loaded engines with high ignition pressures and deteriorating mixed operating conditions, even with the use of such non-return valves, a high bearing load or a reduced service life of the bearing cannot be avoided.
