Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engines, in particular to an oil filtering system for a horizontally opposed motorcycle engine. Background Art
[0002] In a horizontally opposed engine, the engine pistons are evenly distributed on both sides of the crankshaft and move left and right in the horizontal direction. This reduces the overall height of the engine, shortens the length, and lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle, making the vehicle run more smoothly. The engine is installed on the center line of the vehicle, and the torques generated by the pistons on both sides cancel each other out, greatly reducing the vibration of the vehicle during driving, greatly increasing the engine speed, and reducing noise. Horizontally opposed engines are generally used in sports cars and motorcycles that pursue high-speed performance. During the operation of the engine, in order to prevent dry friction between metal parts, the engine is equipped with an oil lubrication system, which continuously pumps oil to the friction surfaces of all transmission parts to form an oil film between the friction surfaces, thereby reducing friction resistance, reducing power consumption, and improving the reliability and durability of the engine. Existing horizontal engines generally use built-in filters, which are not convenient to disassemble and assemble during maintenance. Utility Model Content
