Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of piston engines, and more specifically, to an oil retaining structure for the oil circuit of a piston engine. Background Art
[0002] Piston engines are widely used. Its principle is that the energy generated by the explosive combustion of fuel drives the piston to make a linear reciprocating motion, which is converted into a rotary motion through the crankshaft and connecting rod to output torque power. There are multiple moving pairs in a piston engine, and these moving pairs require the lubrication system of the engine to provide lubricating oil for lubrication, cooling, cleaning, noise reduction, etc.
[0003] Generally, an engine is provided with an oil pan at a low position. The oil pump sucks lubricating oil from the oil pan and delivers lubricating oil with a certain pressure and flow rate to each moving pair node. The oil pump is also near the oil pan, and the lubricating oil coming out of the oil pump needs to be transported through an oil pipe and can be transported to the lubrication node after being filtered and cooled. Therefore, from the oil pump to the positions of each moving pair, some positions are relatively far. Especially for some engines, the filtering or cooling system can only be arranged at a high position, which further increases the length of the oil pipe from the oil pump to the filter or cooler. Moreover, due to the height difference, when the engine is not working, the lubricating oil in the oil pipe will slowly flow back. When starting the engine next time, the oil pipe needs to be filled first to build pressure, which delays the lubrication of the moving pairs, resulting in poor lubrication of the moving pairs at the moment of engine startup and affecting the reliability of the moving pairs. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is in view of the above deficiencies of the prior art. The purpose of the utility model is to provide an oil retaining structure for the oil circuit of a piston engine, which can quickly build oil pressure when starting the engine next time.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: an oil retaining structure for the oil circuit of a piston engine, including an oil pump, an oil retaining mechanism is arranged at the output port of the oil pump. The oil retaining mechanism includes a housing connecting to the output port of the oil pump. A through hole is arranged in the housing. A valve sleeve is arranged at one end of the through hole close to the oil pump. A limiting hole is arranged at one end of the valve sleeve close to the oil pump, and a valve core body and a spring are arranged at the other end. The spring presses the valve core body against one end of the limiting hole. A locking surface cooperating with the valve core body is arranged at one end of the limiting hole. An oil passing groove is arranged on the side wall of the valve sleeve. A connecting head is arranged at the other end of the through hole.
[0006] As a further improvement, the through hole includes a valve sleeve installation hole for installing the valve sleeve, a joint installation hole for installing the connecting head, and a tapered hole connecting the valve sleeve installation hole and the joint installation hole.
[0007] Further, the joint mounting hole and the connector are connected by threads.
[0008] Further, a step is provided in the joint mounting hole, and a first sealing ring is provided between the end of the connector and the step.
[0009] Further, locking bolts for locking the housing to the oil pump are respectively provided on both sides of the housing.
[0010] Further, a second sealing ring is provided between the housing and the oil pump.
[0011] Further, an interference part is provided on the outer wall of one end of the valve sleeve close to the oil pump. The diameter of the valve sleeve is smaller than that of the interference part, and an interference fit is provided between the interference part and the valve sleeve mounting hole.
[0012] Further, the valve core body is of a spherical structure.

[0014] Further, the number of the oil passing grooves is 4, and the 4 oil passing grooves are uniformly arranged on the side wall of the valve sleeve. The locking surface is an inclined surface or an arc surface.
[0015] Advantageous Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] When the oil pump of the present utility model is working, the oil pressure overcomes the spring force, the valve core body is separated from the locking surface, and the oil passes through the valve sleeve to supply oil to the moving pair. When the oil pump stops working, under the action of the spring force, the valve core body is in contact with the locking surface, and the oil cannot flow back, so as to keep the oil in the oil pipe. When the engine is started next time, the oil pressure can be quickly established. Description of the Drawings
