Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of internal combustion engines, and in particular relates to a highly compact internal bearing lubrication system for a spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine crankcase. Background Art

[0002] The lubrication system of a traditional four-stroke diesel engine is a closed lubrication system, in which the oil in the oil tank or oil pan is transported to each lubrication point through the built-in oil channel by a built-in oil pump. The current spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine adopts a design concept of low cost, reliability, and high compactness, and mostly adopts an open lubrication system. The lubricated oil enters the cylinder during the scavenging process to participate in combustion. Since the crankshaft is supported by grease-lubricated rolling bearings and has no lubrication oil channel, the lubrication oil circuit of the spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine is greatly simplified, making the structure simpler and the cost greatly reduced. The spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine is safe to use fuel, and takes into account the advantages of gasoline engines in terms of small size, simple structure, and high power-to-weight ratio. It has broad application prospects in micro-sized special equipment.

[0003] With the increase in the speed of two-stroke diesel engines and the increase in mechanical loads, grease alone can no longer meet the use requirements of bearings. It is necessary to introduce lubricating oil to splash lubricate the bearings to increase the service life of the bearings. In addition, the overall layout of the engine is compact, and there is not enough space in the diesel engine crankcase to arrange the lubricating oil guide structure, which is not conducive to the diffusion of lubricating oil mist, and has an extremely adverse effect on the lubrication of the bearings. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a highly compact spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine crankcase bearing lubrication system, so as to provide a spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine crankcase bearing lubrication system that can achieve the diesel engine's lightweight, compactness and low cost requirements while ensuring reliability.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0006] A highly compact spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine crankcase bearing lubrication system comprises a crankshaft, which is composed of a rear crank, a front crank and a crank pin, and is mounted on a crankcase composed of an upper crankcase and a lower crankcase through a main bearing, and the crankcase interior is sealed from the outside through an oil seal, and is characterized in that a guide oil channel is provided on the rear crank, and the guide oil channel is used to transport the lubricating oil at the bottom of the crankcase to the vicinity of the bearing to complete the lubrication of the bearing.

[0007] Furthermore, both ends of the guide oil passage include an oil inlet hole and an oil outlet hole respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the opening of the oil inlet hole ensures that the crankshaft is located below the crankcase liquid level when it rotates to its lowest end, and the opening of the oil outlet hole ensures that it faces the gap between the inner and outer bearing rings of the main bearing.

[0009] Furthermore, during the operation of the diesel engine, as the crankshaft rotates, the oil inlet opening is immersed below the lubricating oil level at the bottom of the crankcase, and the lubricating oil enters the guide oil channel. Under the action of inertia, the lubricating oil flows in the guide oil channel and flows out from the oil outlet to complete the lubrication of the bearing.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the highly compact spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine crankcase bearing lubrication system of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0011] (1) The highly compact spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine crankcase bearing lubrication system described in the present invention has a simple structure and good processability. It improves the lubrication of the main bearing while ensuring the overall lightweight and compact requirements of the diesel engine, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the entire machine and providing a better guarantee for further power enhancement.

[0012] (2) The highly compact spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine crankcase bearing lubrication system described in the present invention has a compact structure and does not occupy additional space, thereby ensuring the diesel engine's lightweight and compact requirements.

[0013] (3) The highly compact spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engine crankcase bearing lubrication system described in the present invention improves the main bearing poor lubrication problem caused by lightweight, compactness and high power in compact spark-ignition two-stroke diesel engines.
