[0053] The engine provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a timing cover 1 and a body 5, the timing cover 1 is connected to one side of the body 5, and has a first mounting position 11; an oil pot 2, the oil pot 2 is arranged on the side of the timing cover 1 away from the body 5, and has a first connecting structure 21; a first locking member 6, the first locking member 6 is locked with the first connecting structure 21 and the first mounting position 11, and is connected to the body 5 to provide support for the oil pot through the body 5 to ensure stable installation of the oil pot.

[0054] An embodiment of the present application provides an engine for a vehicle, the engine comprising:

[0055] Body 5;

[0056] A timing cover 1 connected to a machine body 5;

[0057] The oil pot 2 is located at a side of the timing cover 1 facing away from the engine body 5 . For example, the oil pot 2 may be located at the front side of the timing cover 1 .

[0058] For example, the oil pot 2 can be located at the front side of the timing cover 1 and separated from the timing cover 1, that is, the oil pot 2 and the timing cover 1 have no direct connection relationship, and the oil pot 2 is fixed to other structures of the vehicle; or the oil pot 2 is located at the front side of the timing cover 1 and contacts the timing cover 1, or the oil pot 2 is located at the front side of the timing cover 1 and connected to the timing cover 1 through a connector.

[0059] In this embodiment, the timing cover 1 is used to be connected to the engine body 5, which includes a cylinder block and a cylinder head. The timing cover 1 can be connected to the cylinder block, or the timing cover 1 can be connected to the cylinder head to form a protective space between the timing cover 1 and the engine body 5, so as to protect the timing belt, pulley, tensioner and other components in the engine. The oil pot 2 can be arranged on the side of the timing cover 1 away from the engine body 5, that is, the oil pot 2 is arranged on the outside of the timing cover 1, so as to improve the compactness of the space in the engine compartment and better utilize the space inside the engine.

[0060] The oil pot 2 is used to store the engine oil required by the engine to ensure normal lubrication and cooling of the engine, and can perform the functions of cooling and shock absorption.

[0061] In one embodiment, the engine is longitudinally arranged in the vehicle, that is, the engine extends in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, and the front side of the timing cover 1 is the side of the timing cover 1 facing the front of the vehicle. The oil pot 2 is installed on the side of the timing cover 1 facing the front of the vehicle, so that the oil pot 2 is arranged in the front side of the timing cover 1 in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, avoiding the space occupied by the oil pot 2 in the left-to-right direction of the vehicle, improving the compactness of the engine layout, and increasing the utilization efficiency of the engine in the interior space of the vehicle.

[0062] In another embodiment, the engine is placed transversely in the vehicle, that is, the engine extends in the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the front side of the timing cover 1 is the side of the timing cover 1 facing the side of the vehicle.

[0063] In one embodiment, the oil pot 2 is installed in the installation area on the front side of the timing cover 1. The installation area can be an adaptation area on the front side of the timing cover 1 that matches the structure of the oil pot 2. For example, the outer periphery of the oil pot 2 is arc-shaped, and the installation area can be an arc-shaped adaptation area on the front side of the timing cover 1, so that at least part of the oil pot 2 can be embedded in the installation area, and then the timing cover 1 and the body 5 are connected through the connecting structure on the oil pot 2.

[0064] See also Figures 7 to 9 An oil pump 100 is connected to one side of the timing cover 1, and an oil pot 2 is connected to the other side of the timing cover 1. The oil output by the oil pump 100 is transported to the oil pot 2 through the oil inlet pipe 24, and the oil in the oil pot 2 is returned to the oil pump 100 through the oil outlet pipe 25; a vent pipe 26 is provided on the top of the oil pot 2 to facilitate the discharge of the gas in the oil pot 2.

[0065] The engine provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a timing cover 1, which is used to be connected to the body 5; an oil can 2, and in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, the front side of the timing cover 1 has a mounting area, and the oil can 2 is installed in the mounting area, which improves the compactness of the engine layout and increases the utilization efficiency of the engine in the interior space of the vehicle.

[0066] In one embodiment, see Figure 3, the engine further includes a plurality of buffer structures 4. The first locking member 6 has a first locking cap 61, and the first connecting structure 21 is located between the first locking cap 61 and the first mounting position 11;

[0067] A part of the buffer structure 4 is clamped between the first locking cap 61 and the first connecting structure 21, and another part of the buffer structure 4 is clamped between the first connecting structure 21 and the first mounting position 11.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the first locking member 6 connects the oil pot 2, the timing cover 1 and the engine block 5 in series, the first connecting structure 21 is located between the first locking cap 61 and the first mounting position 11. In order to prevent the first connecting structure 21 of the oil pot 2 from shaking relative to the first mounting position 11, the gap between the first locking cap 61 and the first connecting structure 21 can be filled with the buffer structure 4, and the gap between the first connecting structure 21 and the first mounting position 11 can be filled with the buffer structure 4, so as to provide the damping function for the oil pot 2 at the fixed point of the first connecting structure 21, absorb the shaking of the oil pot 2 through the buffer structure 4, and improve the NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance of the engine.

[0069] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , the buffer structure 4 includes a gasket 41 and a washer 42. It can be that a part of the buffer structure 4 includes a gasket 41 and a washer 42, and another part of the buffer structure 4 also includes a gasket 41 and a washer 42. The gasket 41 and the washer 42 are arranged adjacent to each other and are both sleeved on the first locking member 6.

[0070] In this embodiment, adjacent gaskets 41 and washers 42 are arranged on both sides of the first connecting structure 21 at the top of the oil pot 2. The gaskets 41 and washers 42 on both sides of the first connecting structure 21 have the same specifications. The gasket 41 can fill the uneven surfaces and defects on both sides of the first connecting structure 21, while the washer 42 is used to increase the contact area and sealing effect on both sides of the first connecting structure 21; when the first locking member 6 passes through the timing cover 1 to fix the oil pot 2 on the engine block 5, the buffer structures 4 on both sides of the first connecting structure 21 already have a certain pre-compression amount. When the oil in the oil pot 2 shakes and causes the oil pot 2 to shake relatively greatly with respect to the engine, the buffer structures 4 on both sides of the first connecting structure 21 can absorb the shaking of the oil pot 2 under elastic deformation, thereby reducing the overall shaking of the engine.

[0071] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the top of the oil pot 2 has a first connecting structure 21, and the bottom of the oil pot 2 has a connecting structure, and the connecting structure is connected to the engine block 5.

[0072] In this embodiment, see Figure 1, two mounting points are formed at the bottom of the oil pot 2 through a connecting structure. These two mounting points of the connecting structure are respectively located on both sides of the centroid of the oil pot 2. The oil pot 2 is connected to the engine body 5 through the two mounting points at the bottom of the oil pot 2, which can play a role in supporting the oil pot at the bottom of the oil pot 2; and the connecting structure at the bottom of the oil pot 2 cooperates with the first connecting structure 21 at the top of the oil pot 2 to form a three-point fixation of the oil pot 2. The three fixing points can withstand the forces in multiple directions on the oil pot 2 and prevent the oil pot 2 from shaking during the operation of the vehicle.

[0073] In one embodiment, refer to Figures 4 to 6 , the engine further includes a mounting bracket 3, a second locking member 7, and a third locking member 8. The mounting bracket 3 has a second mounting position 31 and a third mounting position 32. The connecting structure is connected to the second mounting position 31 through the second locking member 7, and the third mounting position 32 is connected to the engine body 5 through the third locking member 8.

[0074] In this embodiment, since the oil pot 2 is arranged on the front side of the timing cover 1 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, that is, there is a timing cover 1 between the oil pot 2 and the engine body 5, the connecting structure at the bottom of the oil pot 2 is spaced from the engine body 5; in order to facilitate the connection between the bottom of the oil pot 2 and the engine body 5, the oil pot 2 and the engine body 5 can be connected through the mounting bracket 3.

[0075] In one embodiment, the connecting structure includes a second connecting structure 22 and a third connecting structure 23. The second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 are connected to the second mounting position 31 through the second locking member 7;

[0076] In the lateral direction of the timing cover 1, the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 are arranged at intervals at the bottom of the oil pot 2 to improve the stability of fixing the bottom of the oil pot 2 to the engine body 5.

[0077] Specifically, both the second mounting position 31 and the third mounting position 32 can be mounting through-holes. The second locking member 7 with a bolt structure passes through the second mounting position 31 and is locked on the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 at the bottom of the oil pot 2. At the same time, the third locking member 8 with a bolt structure passes through the third mounting position 32 and is locked on the engine body 5 to realize an effective connection between the oil pot 2 and the engine body 5.

[0078] In one embodiment, the connecting structure includes at least three connecting sub-structures similar to the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23. The multiple connecting sub-structures are arranged at intervals in the lateral direction of the timing cover 1 at the bottom of the oil pot 2 to further improve the stability of fixing the bottom of the oil pot 2 to the engine body 5.

[0079] In one embodiment, the oil pot 2 has an axis passing through the center of mass, the axis is parallel to the up-down direction of the vehicle, and the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 are located on both sides of the axis.

[0080] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The bottom of the oil pot 2 forms two mounting points through the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23. The two mounting points of the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 are respectively located on both sides of the center of mass of the oil pot 2. The oil pot 2 is connected to the body 5 through the two mounting points at the bottom of the oil pot 2, which can support the oil pot at the bottom of the oil pot 2; and the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 at the bottom of the oil pot 2 cooperate with the first connecting structure 21 at the top of the oil pot 2 to form a three-point fixation of the oil pot 2. The three fixing points can withstand forces in multiple directions on the oil pot 2 to prevent the oil pot 2 from shaking during the operation of the vehicle.

[0081] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The bottom of the oil pot 2 protrudes downward from the timing cover 1, and the mounting bracket 3 passes through the bottom of the timing cover 1 and connects the oil pot 2 and the engine body 5, so that the oil pot 2 is fixed to the side of the timing cover 1 away from the engine body 5, thereby improving the stability of the joint fixation of the oil pot 2, the timing cover 1 and the engine body 5.

[0082] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The mounting bracket 3 includes a first mounting plate 33 and a second mounting plate 34 , a bending angle is formed between the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34 , the second mounting position 31 is located on the first mounting plate 33 , and the third mounting position 32 is located on the second mounting plate 34 .

[0083] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 at the bottom of the oil pot 2 and the mounting bracket 3, it is difficult to keep the connection directions of the second mounting position 31 and the third mounting position 32 consistent; and when a bending angle is formed between the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34, for example, the bending angle between the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34 is in the range of 60°-120°, it can be ensured that the connection of the oil pot 2 on the first mounting plate 33 and the connection between the second mounting plate 34 and the body 5 do not affect each other.

[0084] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the bending angle between the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34 is 90°, and the oil pot 2 is connected to the body 5 through the bending structure formed by the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34, and the body 5 has a large wall thickness, which can withstand the shaking force caused by the shaking of oil in the oil pot 2, thereby improving the reliability of the fixation of the oil pot 2.

[0085] In one embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the mounting bracket 3 further includes at least one reinforcing rib 35, and the reinforcing rib 35 is disposed at the bent angle between the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34.

[0086] In this embodiment, when the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34 are bent relative to each other at the connection, the shaking of the oil pot 2 relative to the body 5 will drive the first mounting plate 33 to move relative to the second mounting plate 34, so that the stress between the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34 is concentrated at their connection; and the reinforcing rib 35 is disposed at the bent angle between the first mounting plate 33 and the second mounting plate 34, which can strengthen the strength of the connection on the mounting bracket 3 and ensure the stability of the connection between the oil pot 2 and the body 5.

[0087] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , a bushing nut 9 is embedded in the second connection structure 22. Both ends of the second locking member 7 respectively have a second locking cap 71 and a thread 72, and the thread 72 is in threaded engagement with the bushing nut 9 to clamp the first mounting plate 33 between the second locking cap 71 and the second connection structure 22.

[0088] In this embodiment, the bushing nut 9 is embedded in the second connection structure 22, which can ensure the structural integrity of the bushing nut 9 and the oil pot 2; and when the second locking member 7 passes through the first mounting plate 33, the thread 72 at the end of the second locking member 7 can be in threaded engagement with the bushing nut 9 to fasten the first mounting plate 33 on the oil pot 2 and ensure the connection strength between the mounting bracket 3 and the oil pot 2.

[0089] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the engine further includes a buffer bushing 10. The second mounting position 31 is a mounting hole, and the buffer bushing 10 is embedded in the mounting hole. Part of the buffer bushing 10 protrudes from one end of the mounting hole and is clamped between the second connection structure 22 and the first mounting plate 33, and part of the buffer bushing 10 protrudes from the other end of the mounting hole and is clamped between the first mounting plate 33 and the second locking cap 71.

[0090] In this embodiment, the buffer bushing 10 is a bushing structure. When the buffer bushing 10 is assembled in the mounting hole of the mounting bracket 3, there will be part of the buffer bushing 10 on both sides of the mounting hole, and the buffer bushing 10 is already in a compressed state, so as to effectively reduce the impact force of the vibration of the oil pot 2 through the elastic deformation of the buffer bushing 10 and improve the NVH performance of the engine.

[0091] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4, the second locking member 7 includes a first locking section 73 and a second locking section 74. The diameter of the first locking section 73 is greater than that of the second locking section 74, and a stepped surface is formed at one end of the first locking section 73 close to the second locking section 74;

[0092] The second locking cap 71 is connected to the first locking section 73, the thread 72 is located on the second locking section 74, and the stepped surface abuts against the second connection structure 22.

[0093] In this embodiment, in order to better fix the second locking member 7 on the oil pot 2, the thread 72 on the second locking section 74 can be threadedly engaged with the bushing nut 9; and the stepped surface formed between the first locking section 73 and the second locking section 74 can abut against the end of the bushing nut 9 on the oil pot 2, so that the second locking member 7 and the bushing nut 9 are in a hard connection. For example, the materials of the second locking member 7 and the bushing nut 9 are both hard metals, so as to prevent the second locking member 7 from being stressed on the plastic oil pot 2, and further prevent the locking torque of the second locking member 7 from acting on the oil pot 2 and causing deformation of the oil pot 2.

[0094] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the engine further includes an oil pump 100, and the oil pump 100 is disposed on a side of the timing cover 1 away from the oil pot 2;

[0095] The oil output by the oil pump 100 is delivered to the oil pot 2 through the oil inlet pipe 24, and the oil in the oil pot 2 is sent back to the oil pump 100 through the oil outlet pipe 25.

[0096] In this embodiment, an oil pump 100 is connected to one side of the timing cover 1, and an oil pot 2 is connected to the other side of the timing cover 1. The oil output by the oil pump 100 is delivered to the oil pot 2 through the oil inlet pipe 24, and the oil in the oil pot 2 is sent back to the oil pump 100 through the oil outlet pipe 25, maintaining the stability of the oil storage amount in the oil pot 2 and ensuring the effects of lubricating the engine, reducing wear, providing cooling and cleaning with the oil in the oil pot.

[0097] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the oil inlet pipe 24 and the oil outlet pipe 25 respectively pass through the timing cover 1 to shorten the oil delivery path from the oil pump 100 to the oil pot 2 and improve the efficiency of the oil circulation between the oil pump 100 and the oil pot 2.

[0098] In one embodiment, see Figure 7, the engine further includes a breather pipe 26 which penetrates through the timing cover 1, and one end of the breather pipe 26 is connected to the inside of the oil pot 2 through the top of the oil pot 2, and the other end of the breather pipe 26 is connected to the inside of the engine block 5. The blow-by gas in the oil pot 2 can be led into the crankcase inside the engine block 5 through the breather pipe 26, ensuring the cleanliness and quality of the oil in the oil pot 2.

[0099] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , in the lateral direction of the timing cover 1, the oil pot 2 is arranged at the end of the side of the timing cover 1 away from the engine block 5. The inlet pipe 24, the outlet pipe 25 and the breather pipe 26 penetrate through the middle area of the timing cover 1, while the oil pump 100 is arranged in the middle area of the side of the timing cover 1 away from the oil pot 2, facilitating the connection between the inlet pipe 24 and the outlet pipe 25 and the oil pump 100. At the same time, the oil pot 2 is arranged at one end of the side of the timing cover 1 away from the engine block 5, which can avoid the interference between the inlet pipe 24, the outlet pipe 25 and the breather pipe 26 and the oil pot 2, facilitating the arrangement of the inlet pipe 24, the outlet pipe 25, the breather pipe 26 and the oil pot 2, and improving the compactness of the engine structure.
