Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of engine rotor oil pan devices, specifically relating to a novel oil pan suitable for rotary engines. Background Technology
[0002] The existing rotary engine oil pan has a long oil passage, which increases the pressure loss of oil during transmission, thereby increasing engine fuel consumption. The long oil passage can increase the oil transmission time, and the oil is cooled and filtered more slowly, which makes the engine compartment take up more space and increases the size of the engine in the engine compartment. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to achieve a more compact design, shorten the oil circuit, reduce connection points for simpler assembly, reduce wear between engine components, and ensure efficient oil circuitry to supply oil from the oil pump to various pressure lubrication friction pairs. Shortening the oil circuit reduces oil flow resistance, facilitates maintenance and disassembly, and saves engine compartment space. The technical solution is as follows: A novel oil pan for rotary engines is characterized by comprising an oil pan 7 and an oil collector hole 1 and an oil pump adapter outlet hole 2 arranged on the outer surface of the oil pan 7. The oil pan 7 internally has an oil cooler inlet hole 3, an oil filter inlet hole 4, and an oil filter outlet hole 5. The bottom surface of the oil filter outlet hole 5 has a cylinder bore 6. The oil pan 7 integrates an oil filter mounting base, an oil cooler mounting base, and an oil pump adapter. An oil pump is connected between the oil collector hole 1 and the oil pump adapter outlet hole 2. An oil cooler is connected between the oil cooler inlet hole 3 and the oil filter inlet hole 4. An oil filter is connected between the oil filter inlet hole 4 and the oil filter outlet hole 5. The oil pan 7 is L-shaped.
[0004] The beneficial effects of this invention are: shortening the oil circuit, reducing connection points and simplifying assembly, reducing wear between engine parts, and the efficient oil circuit supplies oil from the oil pump to various pressure lubrication friction pairs. The shortened oil circuit reduces oil flow resistance, facilitates maintenance and disassembly, and saves engine compartment space. Attached Figure Description

[0006] Reference Figures 1-3 A novel oil pan suitable for rotary engines is characterized by comprising an oil pan 7 and an oil collector hole 1 and an oil pump adapter outlet hole 2 arranged on the outer surface of the oil pan 7. The oil pan 7 has an input oil cooler hole 3, an input oil filter passage hole 4, and an oil filter passage outlet hole 5 inside. The bottom surface of the oil filter passage outlet hole 5 has a cylinder hole 6. The oil pan 7 integrates an oil filter mounting base, an oil cooler mounting base, and an oil pump adapter. An oil pump is connected between the oil collector hole 1 and the oil pump adapter outlet hole 2. An oil cooler is connected between the input oil cooler hole 3 and the input oil filter passage hole 4. An oil filter is connected between the input oil filter passage hole 4 and the oil filter passage outlet hole 5. The oil pan 7 is L-shaped.
[0007] During use, the oil in the oil pan 7 is pumped through the oil collector hole 1 into the oil pump adapter outlet hole 2 by the oil pump. Then, the oil is injected into the oil cooler through the oil pump adapter outlet hole 2 and the oil cooler inlet hole 3 for cooling. After cooling, the oil is injected into the oil filter through the oil filter inlet hole 4 for filtration. Finally, the filtered oil is delivered to various parts of the engine through the oil filter outlet hole 5 and the cylinder bore 6.
[0008] The oil collector hole 1, oil pump adapter output hole 2, oil cooler input hole 3, oil filter input hole 4, oil filter output hole 5, and cylinder block hole 6 on the oil pan 7 are set in positions according to the actual situation.
[0009] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
