The lubricating oil mixture is lubricated or precisely lubricated and inevitably enters the combustion chamber for combustion.

[0003] Existing problems: Lubricating oil is mixed into the fuel, causing the lubricating oil to participate in combustion, increasing carbon deposits, polluting the environment, poor durability, and insufficient lubrication. Most of the existing technologies are to reduce the amount of lubricating oil used, precise lubrication supply, and use oil-gas separators, which do not improve the problems of two-stroke engines much. The valve-operated two-stroke engine uses the same smooth cylinder inner wall as the four-stroke engine. The four-stroke engine uses splash lubrication for the cylinder wall, which cannot ensure that the lubricating oil is evenly splashed on the cylinder wall. The valve-operated two-stroke engine uses mixed lubrication, the lubricating oil participates in combustion, and the lubrication effect is poor.

[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] See also Figure 1-Figure 5An embodiment of the present invention provides a circulating lubrication system for a two-stroke engine. The circulating lubrication system for a two-stroke engine includes: an oil storage chamber 1, an oil pump 2, a crank mechanism 4, a cylinder 6, a piston member 5, an oil passage 3, a sealing device 1 9, a sealing device 2 11, and an oil ring 8. The system mainly provides sealed lubrication for the movable parts of the crank mechanism 4, the piston member 5, and the cylinder wall 6. A sealing device 1 9 is installed at the junction of the crank mechanism 4 and the connecting rod 7. An oil inlet hole 16 and an oil outlet hole 15 are respectively provided on both sides of the crankshaft rod of the crank mechanism 4. The sealing device 9 prevents the engine oil from entering the crankcase. The oil passage 3 inside the crank mechanism 4 allows the lubricating oil to circulate.

[0018] like Figure 4 As shown, a sealing device 11 is installed at the connection between one end of the connecting rod 7 and the piston pin 14, an oil channel 12 is opened in the piston pin 14 to connect to the oil channel 10 outside the circumference of the piston cylinder 5, two air rings and an oil ring 8 are provided at the upper end of the piston cylinder 5, and an oil ring 8 is provided at the lower end of the piston cylinder 5. An external leakage oil channel 10 is opened around the outer wall of the piston cylinder 5 and communicates with the oil channel inside the piston pin 14. The oil channel 10 around the outer wall of the piston cylinder 5 is between the upper and lower oil rings 8 of the piston member 5, and the outer side of the piston member 5 slides inside the cylinder wall 6. The upper and lower oil rings 8 of the piston cylinder 5 fit with the inner wall 6 of the cylinder to form a closed space.

[0019] Furthermore, the oil passage 10 on the outer wall of the piston 7 is connected to the cylinder wall 6. The lubricating oil forms an oil film in the space between the piston 5 and the cylinder wall 6. The two oil rings 8 scrape off the lubricating oil when sliding in the cylinder inner wall 6. Too much lubricating oil will generate resistance. The size of the oil passage 10 on the outer wall of the piston is controlled to control the oil supply to the cylinder wall 6.

[0020] Furthermore, oil inlet holes 18 and oil drain holes 17 are formed on opposite sides of the cylinder wall 6. These holes are located between the two oil rings 8 on the piston 5, i.e., within the overlapping region of the piston 5's vertical travel within the cylinder wall. The oil inlet holes 18 and oil drain holes 17 are positioned laterally within the movable range of the cylinder wall 6 and the piston pin hole 12, and longitudinally within the movable range of the upper and lower oil rings 8 on the piston cylinder. Therefore, the length of the piston 5 is greater than the length of its travel.

[0021] Furthermore, an oil storage chamber 1 is installed on one side of the crankcase, and an oil pump 2 is installed in the oil storage chamber 1. The oil storage chamber 1 is communicated with the oil drain hole 15 of the crankshaft rod and the oil drain hole 17 of the cylinder wall. The oil channel of the oil pump 2 is connected to the oil inlet hole 16 of the crankshaft rod and the oil inlet hole 18 on the cylinder wall.

[0022] like Figure 5As shown, specifically, lubricating oil is pressurized by the oil pump 2 through the oil reservoir 1. There are two routes for the oil passage 3. The first is a dual-channel oil passage type, where the oil passage 3 connects to the crankshaft rod oil inlet hole 16 and the cylinder wall oil inlet hole 2 18. The crankshaft rod oil inlet hole 16 connects to the crankshaft internal oil passage, which then connects to the crankshaft intermediate shaft and connecting rod, and then to the crankshaft rod oil drain hole 15, which then connects to the oil reservoir 1, completing the cycle. The cylinder wall oil inlet hole 2 18 connects to the piston pin internal oil passage 12 and the piston component external leakage oil passage 10, connecting to the piston pin internal oil passage 12, connecting to the piston pin intermediate hole and connecting rod, connecting to the other side of the piston pin 12, merging with the piston component external oil passage, and finally to the cylinder wall oil drain hole 2 17, which then connects to the oil reservoir 1, completing the cycle.

[0023] The second type Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, an oil inlet passage 21 and an oil drain passage 20 are respectively provided in the connecting rod 7, an oil inlet hole 3 23 and an oil drain hole 3 24 are provided in the crankshaft intermediate shaft and are communicated with the crankshaft oil inlet hole 16 and the oil drain hole 15 respectively, an oil inlet hole 3 26 and an oil drain hole 3 25 are provided in the piston pin and are communicated with the piston outer ring oil passage 10 through the piston pin inner oil passage 12, the connecting rod inner oil inlet passage 21 is movably communicated with the crankshaft intermediate shaft oil inlet hole 3 23 and the piston pin oil inlet hole 3 26, and the connecting rod inner oil drain passage 20 is movably communicated with the crankshaft intermediate shaft oil drain hole 3 24 and the piston pin oil drain hole 3 25.

[0024] Further oil passages lead to the crankshaft oil inlet hole 16, to the crankshaft intermediate shaft oil inlet hole 3 23, to the connecting rod inner oil inlet passage 21, to the piston pin oil inlet hole 3 26, to the piston outer oil passage 10, to the piston pin oil drain hole 3 25, to the connecting rod oil drain passage 20, to the crankshaft intermediate shaft oil drain hole 3 24, to the crankshaft rod oil drain hole 15, and to the oil storage chamber 1. In this way, the cylinder wall does not need the oil inlet hole 2 18 and the oil drain hole 2 17, and the length of the piston member 5 is not limited.

[0025] Further lubricating oil circulation path; oil pump 2-crankshaft rod oil inlet channel 16-crankshaft intermediate shaft oil inlet hole 3 23-connecting rod inner oil inlet channel 21-piston pin oil inlet hole 3 26-piston outer oil channel 10-piston pin oil drain hole 3 25-connecting rod oil drain channel 20-crankshaft intermediate shaft oil drain hole 3 24-crankshaft rod oil drain hole 15-oil reservoir 1; The present invention provides two lubricating oil paths. The sealing of the cylinder wall and the piston provided by the present invention, and other lubricating oil paths designed in conjunction with the oil passages and the oil inlet and outlet holes are all within the scope of protection.

[0026] The technical solution proposed by the present invention is based on a smooth cylinder wall and is not limited to being used in two-stroke engines and four-stroke engines.

[0027] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
