Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of crankcases, and in particular relates to an engine crankcase cover plate assembly and a crankcase. Background Art
[0002] The crankcase consists of an upper crankcase and a lower crankcase. The upper crankcase is integrally cast with the cylinder block, while the lower crankcase stores lubricating oil and seals the upper crankcase, hence the name "oil sump." Typically, the cylinder block and crankcase are cast as a single piece, known as a cylinder crankcase. This structure offers superior rigidity and strength, simplified manufacturing, and facilitates engine assembly and disassembly. The crankcase cover primarily seals the crankcase side, preventing oil leakage and ensuring proper engine operation.
[0003] The oil at the bottom of the crankcase needs to be extracted by a pump. The oil coming out of the pump is divided into two paths, one path passes through the filter and enters the various lubrication parts, and the other path passes through the pressure relief valve and re-enters the crankcase.
[0004] With the improvement of manufacturing technology and the increasing integration of parts, the oil pump, oil filter and pressure relief valve are generally integrated into the crankcase cover. However, there are some areas for improvement: 1. The degree of integration of the oil pump, oil filter, pressure relief valve and crankcase cover is not high, and the degree of integration can be further improved.
[0005] 2. The oil pump generally uses a gear pump. The amount of oil pumped by the gear pump depends on the crankshaft speed. The faster the speed, the greater the amount of oil pumped. Although the pressure in the oil circuit where the engine oil is located can be limited by the pressure relief valve, when the oil pump is working at a high speed, regardless of whether the pressure is relieved or not, a corresponding flow of oil will be pumped out. The gears in the pump are subjected to greater force, and loosening due to vibration will occur after long-term operation.
[0006] 3. The filter paper in the oil filter will become clogged after working for a long time. In order to ensure that the oil circuit continues to be in a flowing state after the filter paper is clogged, a spare channel without filtering function will be set next to the oil circuit. Because the spare channel has no filtering function, the oil entering the crankcase through the spare channel contains impurities, which is not conducive to the operation of the engine.
[0007] The present invention designs an engine crankcase cover plate assembly and a crankcase to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an engine crankcase cover plate assembly and crankcase to address the problems existing in the current crankcase. The cover plate assembly of the present invention integrates an oil pump assembly and an oil circuit conversion assembly, which effectively improves the degree of integration. The oil pump assembly of the present invention can rotate a certain angle relative to the first rotating shaft when the oil pressure in the pump housing is too high through the first oil pumping gear set on the first rotating shaft, so that the first oil pumping gear can move axially a certain distance under the threaded cooperation with the first rotating shaft, and finally form a gap between the first oil pumping gear and the second oil pumping gear and the inner wall of the pump housing and the sealing plate, which directly connects the oil inlet and the oil outlet inside the pump housing, thereby achieving effective pressure relief in the pump housing and reducing the amount of oil pumped by the oil pump assembly, thereby reducing the vibration of the first oil pumping gear and the second oil pumping gear caused by the force, and avoiding the loosening of the first oil pumping gear and the second oil pumping gear caused by the vibration caused by the large force during long-term use. The oil circuit conversion assembly of the present invention utilizes the power of the second rotating shaft of the oil pump assembly to rapidly rotate the centrifugal strips on the second filter cartridge, thereby increasing the centrifugal force of the engine oil pumped by the oil pump assembly through the first oil outlet pipe into the annular space between the first cylinder and the second filter cartridge, ensuring that the engine oil pumped through the first oil outlet pipe into the annular space between the first cylinder and the second filter cartridge can be effectively filtered by the first filter cartridge and then reach the crankcase or the parts requiring lubrication through the fourth oil outlet pipe, the oil cavity, and the third oil outlet pipe. When the first filter cartridge becomes clogged after long-term use, the oil circuit conversion assembly of the present invention rotates the third cylinder to close the first oil hole on the first cylinder, so that the engine oil pumped through the first oil outlet pipe into the annular space between the first cylinder and the second filter cartridge reaches a certain pressure, overcomes the centrifugal force generated by the centrifugal strips on the second filter cartridge, and is filtered by the second filter cartridge, enters the second annular sleeve, and then opens the valve assembly through the second oil outlet pipe to reach the crankcase or the parts requiring lubrication, thereby preventing the engine oil from being filtered out of impurities after the first filter cartridge becomes clogged and adversely affecting the operation of the crankcase when it reaches the lubrication parts. The densely packed messy soft hairs on the inner wall of the first filter cartridge in the oil circuit conversion assembly of the present invention can lock the impurities blocked by the first filter cartridge, preventing the impurities at the filtration point from re-entering the engine oil, making it convenient to remove the impurities in the engine oil when the first filter cartridge is subsequently replaced, effectively reducing the impurity content of the engine oil and improving the filtration efficiency of the newly replaced first filter cartridge.

[0020] 2. The oil pump assembly of the present invention can rotate a certain angle relative to the first rotating shaft through the first oil pumping gear provided on the first rotating shaft when the oil pressure in the pump casing is too high, so that the first oil pumping gear can perform axial movement of a certain distance under the threaded cooperation with the first rotating shaft, and finally form a gap between the first oil pumping gear and the second oil pumping gear and the inner wall of the pump casing and the sealing plate inside the pump casing, which directly connects the oil inlet and the oil outlet, thereby achieving effective pressure relief in the pump casing and reducing the oil pumping amount of the oil pump assembly, thereby reducing the vibration of the first oil pumping gear and the second oil pumping gear caused by the force, and avoiding the loosening of the first oil pumping gear and the second oil pumping gear caused by the vibration caused by the large force during long-term use.

[0037] The cover plate assembly 200 of the present invention integrates the oil pump assembly 204 and the oil circuit conversion assembly 238, effectively improving the level of integration. The oil pump assembly 204 of the present invention utilizes the first oil pumping gear 211 disposed on the first rotating shaft 218 to rotate a certain angle relative to the first rotating shaft 218 when the oil pressure within the pump housing 205 is excessive. This allows the first oil pumping gear 211 to undergo a certain distance of axial movement due to its threaded engagement with the first rotating shaft 218. This ultimately creates a gap between the first and second oil pumping gears 211, 229, the inner wall of the pump housing 205, and the sealing plate 234, directly connecting the oil inlet 206 and the oil outlet 207 within the pump housing 205. This effectively relieves pressure within the pump housing 205 and reduces the amount of oil pumped by the oil pump assembly. This, in turn, reduces the vibration of the first and second oil pumping gears 211, 229 caused by the applied force, thereby preventing the first and second oil pumping gears 211, 229 from loosening due to vibration caused by the high applied force during long-term use. The oil circuit conversion assembly 238 in the present invention utilizes the power of the second rotating shaft 230 in the oil pump assembly to drive the centrifugal strips 266 on the second filter barrel 262 to rotate rapidly, thereby increasing the centrifugal force of the engine oil pumped into the annular space between the first cylinder 243 and the second filter barrel 262 through the first oil outlet pipe 209 by the oil pump assembly, ensuring that the engine oil pumped into the annular space between the first cylinder 243 and the second filter barrel 262 through the first oil outlet pipe 209 can be effectively filtered through the first filter barrel 256 and reach the crankcase 101 or the part that needs lubrication through the fourth oil outlet pipe 251, the oil cavity 249, and the third oil outlet pipe 250. The oil circuit conversion assembly 238 in the present invention closes the first oil hole 244 on the first cylinder 243 by rotating the third cylinder 258 when the first filter cylinder 256 becomes clogged after being used for a long time, so that the engine oil pumped into the annular space between the first cylinder 243 and the second filter cylinder 262 through the first oil outlet pipe 209 reaches a certain pressure to overcome the centrifugal force generated by the centrifugal strips 266 on the second filter cylinder 262 and enters the second annular sleeve 240 through the filtration of the second filter cylinder 262 in the reverse direction and opens the valve assembly 252 through the second oil outlet pipe 248 to reach the crankcase 101 or the part that needs lubrication, thereby avoiding the engine oil from having an adverse effect on the operation of the crankcase 101 when it reaches the lubrication part due to the failure to filter impurities after the first filter cylinder 256 is clogged. The densely packed messy soft hairs 257 on the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 256 in the oil circuit conversion assembly 238 of the present invention can lock the impurities blocked by the first filter cartridge 256, preventing the impurities at the filtration point from re-entering the engine oil, making it easier to remove the impurities in the engine oil when the first filter cartridge 256 is subsequently replaced, effectively reducing the impurity content of the engine oil and improving the filtration efficiency of the newly replaced first filter cartridge 256.
[0038] The operation process of the present invention is as follows: In the initial state, the vortex spring 225 is compressed, the limiter block 221 is positioned at one end of the limiter groove 215 under the action of the vortex spring 225, and a slight gap exists between the first and second oil pumping gears 211, 229 and the inner walls of the pump housing 205 and the inner walls of the sealing plate 234. The second oil hole 259 in the third cylinder 258 is aligned with the first oil hole 244 in the first cylinder 243 and is open to the first oil hole 244 in the first cylinder 243. There are gaps between the sealing cover 269 and the upper ends of the fourth ring 261, the first filter cartridge 256, and the second cylinder 247. The baffle 253 in the valve assembly 252 is closed to the second oil outlet pipe 248 under the action of the leaf spring 254. The first and second filter cartridges 256, 262 are both newly replaced.
[0039] At this time, the engine is started, and the crankshaft end 102 of the engine rotates. The crankshaft end 102 drives the first rotating shaft 218 to rotate through the second gear 228 and the first gear 227. The first rotating shaft 218 drives the first oil pumping gear 211 to rotate through the first ring sleeve 223 and the vortex spring 225. The first oil pumping gear 211 drives the second oil pumping gear 229 to rotate. The rotating first oil pumping gear 211 and the second oil pumping gear 229 make the oil at the bottom of the crankcase 101 flow out through the oil suction pipe 208 and the oil inlet 206, pump housing 205, oil outlet 207, first oil outlet pipe 209 enter the first cylinder 243, the second oil pump gear 229 drives the second shaft 230 to rotate synchronously, the second shaft 230 drives the second filter cartridge 262 to rotate synchronously through the hexagonal shaft 264 and the connecting rod 263, the rotating second filter cartridge 262 drives all the centrifugal strips 266 thereon to rotate synchronously and rapidly, the centrifugal strips 266 make the oil entering the first cylinder 243 generate a large centrifugal force, the first cylinder 2 The engine oil in the cylinder 243 enters the first filter cylinder 256 through the first oil hole 244 on the first cylinder 243 and the second oil hole 259 on the third cylinder 258. The engine oil entering the first filter cylinder 256 is filtered by the first filter cylinder 256 under the action of centrifugal pressure and then enters the second cylinder 247. The engine oil entering the second cylinder 247 enters the oil chamber 249 through the fourth oil outlet pipe 251 under the action of pressure. The engine oil entering the oil chamber 249 reaches the crankcase 101 through the third oil outlet pipe 250. The parts that need lubrication may be recirculated into the crankcase 101, and the engine oil entering the oil chamber 249 will not enter the second ring sleeve 240 from the second oil outlet pipe 248 because the baffle 253 closes the second oil outlet pipe 248 under the action of the leaf spring 254. The messy soft hair 257 on the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 256 can intercept impurities in the engine oil and prevent impurities filtered by the first filter cartridge 256 from returning to the engine oil. The impurities can be taken out when the first filter cartridge 256 is replaced, effectively reducing the impurities in the engine oil.
[0040] After a period of use, the soft hair 257 on the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 256 is clogged due to the accumulation of a large number of impurities. At this time, the second filter cartridge 262 drives all the centrifugal strips 266 thereon to rotate rapidly, causing the oil entering the first cylinder 243 to be blocked, thereby causing the oil pressure in the pump housing 205 of the oil pump assembly to accumulate and rise. At this time, the oil pressure sensor 210 installed on the pipe wall branch of the first oil outlet pipe 209 detects the increase in oil pressure and sends a signal. The first oil pump gear 211 and the second oil pump gear 229 in the pump housing 205 are affected. The resistance increases and the rotation lags behind the first rotating shaft 218. The vortex spring 225 is further compressed, and the limit block 221 moves from one end of the limit groove 215 to the extreme position at the other end. At the same time, the first oil pumping gear 211 moves axially for a certain distance under the interaction of the external thread 222 on the first rotating shaft 218 and the internal thread 213 on the inner wall of the first oil pumping gear 211. The first oil pumping gear 211 drives the sealing plate 234 to move axially synchronously through the guide ring 235, and finally makes the first oil pumping gear 211 and the second oil pumping gear 229 aligned with the pump housing 205 and the sealing plate. A large gap is generated between the inner walls of 234, so that the oil inlet 206 and the oil outlet 207 on both sides of the pump housing 205 are directly connected, thereby reducing the oil pressure in the pump housing 205 and reducing the oil pumping amount of the first oil pumping gear 211 and the second oil pumping gear 229. Under the action of oil pressure, the organic oil in the first cylinder 243 is filtered in the second filter cylinder 262 in the reverse direction and enters the second filter cylinder 262 and the second ring sleeve 240. The amount of oil entering the second filter cylinder 262 and the second ring sleeve 240 gradually increases. When the second filter cylinder 262 and the second ring sleeve 240 are When the oil in 240 and the second oil outlet pipe 248 accumulates to a certain amount and obtains a certain oil pressure, the baffle 253 in the valve assembly 252 will overcome the leaf spring 254 and open under the action of the oil pressure below, and the oil in the second oil outlet pipe 248 enters the parts that need lubrication in the crankcase 101 through the oil cavity 249 and the third oil outlet pipe 250 or enters the second cylinder 247 through the fourth oil outlet pipe 251. The oil entering the second cylinder 247 also enters the parts that need lubrication in the crankcase 101 through the fourth oil outlet pipe 251, the oil cavity 249 and the third oil outlet pipe 250.
[0041] If the oil pressure continues to remain high, it means that the first filter cartridge 256 is clogged and needs to be replaced. If the oil pressure gradually decreases and returns to normal after being at high pressure, it means that the oil pressure in the pump housing 205 of the oil pump assembly 204 is increased in a short period of time due to the short-term high rotation speed of the first oil pumping gear 211 on the first rotating shaft 218 driven by the crankshaft end 102. After the speed of the first rotating shaft 218 driven by the crankshaft end 102 decreases, the oil pumping amounts of the first oil pumping gear 211 and the second oil pumping gear 229 decrease due to the reduction in rotation speed, causing the first oil pumping gear 211 and the second oil pumping gear 229 to increase in a short period of time. The resistance encountered by the second oil pumping gear 229 gradually decreases, and finally the first oil pumping gear 211 rotates and resets relative to the first rotating shaft 218 under the action of the vortex spring 225 and rotates synchronously with the first rotating shaft 218. The first oil pumping gear 211 is axially reset relative to the first rotating shaft 218, and the first oil pumping gear 211 drives the sealing plate 234 to reset, and finally the first oil pumping gear 211 and the second oil pumping gear 229 complete the initial state of the tiny gap fit with the inner wall of the pump housing 205 and the sealing plate 234, so that the oil inlet 206 and the oil outlet 207 on the pump housing 205 are blocked, so that the oil pump assembly can perform normal oil pumping operation.
[0042] When the first filter cartridge 256 becomes clogged and the oil passage needs to be switched, the sealing cover 269 is rotated. The sealing cover 269 drives the third cylinder 258 to rotate a slight angle relative to the first cylinder 243 through the two third sealing rings 275, so that the third cylinder 258 closes the first oil hole 244 on the first cylinder 243. As a result, the engine oil pumped into the first cylinder 243 by the oil pump assembly no longer flows toward the first filter cartridge 256 through the first oil hole 244 on the first cylinder 243. When the engine oil entering the first cylinder 243 reaches a certain oil pressure, it overcomes the centrifugal force of the centrifugal strips 266 on the second filter cartridge 262 and is filtered by the second filter cartridge 262, and flows back into the second filter cartridge 262. The engine oil entering the second filter cartridge 262 is pushed open by the second ring sleeve 240 and the second oil outlet pipe 248 to enter the oil chamber 249 after the baffle 253 is pushed open. The engine oil entering the oil chamber 249 reaches the parts of the crankcase 101 that need lubrication through the third oil outlet pipe 250.
