Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engines, and more specifically, it relates to a pre-oiling system. Background Art

[0002] At present, small and medium-sized engines do not have a pre-lubrication system, and large engines do not have a dedicated pre-lubrication system either. For large engines, only a pre-oil pump is added on the basis of the original engine lubrication system. Generally, the pre-oil pump sucks engine oil from the oil pan and then enters the engine's cooling and lubrication system. The engine oil flows through the oil filter, oil cooler, and engine oil passages, and finally reaches each lubrication point of the engine.

[0003] For example, in the engine pre-lubrication system with the patent number CN109707482A, the engine pre-lubrication system includes: an oil pan for storing engine oil; a pre-oil pump whose suction port is connected to the oil pan through a pipeline to suck engine oil from the oil pan, and the pre-oil pump pressurizes the engine oil and pumps it out from the outlet; a one-way valve connected to the outlet of the pre-oil pump for controlling the one-way flow of engine oil; an oil filter connected to the one-way valve for filtering and cleaning the engine oil; and an engine oil passage whose inlet is connected to the oil filter and whose outlet is connected to each lubrication point of the engine. However, this engine pre-lubrication system only has an oil supply function and cannot extract and replace the engine oil inside the oil pan. Especially for large engines, when there is no additional engine oil extraction device, replacing the engine oil requires manual operation, which is difficult and time-consuming, and the efficiency of maintenance and repair is relatively low.

A plurality of pre-oil supply pipes are provided in the middle of the engine oil pipe. A first stop valve is provided in each of the pre-oil supply pipes. A second stop valve is provided at the outlet end of the engine oil pipe. The ends of the plurality of pre-oil supply pipes far from the engine oil pipe are commonly connected to an oil outlet pipe. An oil pump is provided at one end of the second pipeline. The output end of the oil pump is communicated with the oil outlet pipe. The pre-oil pump, the first stop valve, and the second stop valve are all electrically connected to a controller. The pre-oil pump and the engine oil pipe are both installed on the base.

[0006] Further, there are two pre-supply oil pipes.

[0007] Further, a check valve is provided in each of the pre-supply oil pipes, and the flow direction of the check valve is from the oil pipe to the outlet pipe.

[0008] Further, a corrugated hose is provided on the pre-supply oil pipe, and the corrugated hose is located between the check valve and the first stop valve.

[0009] Further, sealing rings are provided between the three-way joint and the first pipe, the second pipe, and the connecting pipe, and the sealing rings are O-shaped sealing rings.

Specific embodiments

[0019] The following further describes the present utility model with reference to specific embodiments in the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Refer to Figure 1-2 , a pre-oiling system, including an oil pan 1, further including a base 13. The oil pan 1 is provided with a connecting pipe 2 communicating therewith. The other end of the connecting pipe 2 is provided with a three-way joint. One port of the three-way joint is provided with a first pipeline 3, and the other port of the three-way joint is provided with a second pipeline 11. The first pipeline 3 and the second pipeline 11 are communicated with the connecting pipe 2 through the three-way joint; the other end of the first pipeline 3 is provided with a pre-oil pump 4, the output end of the pre-oil pump 4 is provided with an oil pipe 5, and multiple pre-oil pipes 6 are provided in the middle of the oil pipe 5. A first stop valve 7 is provided in each pre-oil pipe 6, and a second stop valve 8 is provided at the outlet end of the oil pipe 5. The ends of the multiple pre-oil pipes 6 far from the oil pipe 5 are commonly communicated with an oil outlet pipe 9. One end of the second pipeline 11 is provided with an oil pump 12, and the output end of the oil pump 12 is communicated with the oil outlet pipe 9. The pre-oil pump 4, the first stop valve 7, and the second stop valve 8 are all electrically connected to the controller. The pre-oil pump 4 and the oil pipe 5 are both installed on the base 13; during normal pre-oiling, the second stop valve 8 is in a closed state, the first stop valve 7 is in an open state, and the controller controls the pre-oil pump 4 to rotate forward. The engine oil passes from the oil pan 1 through the connecting pipe 2, the first pipeline 3, the oil pipe 5, and the pre-oil pipes 6 to reach the oil outlet pipe 9, thereby transporting the engine oil to the pipelines of each lubrication system of the engine. When the engine starts and runs normally, the oil pump 12 starts to run simultaneously, and the controller controls the pre-oil pump 4 to stop. The engine oil passes from the oil pan 1 through the connecting pipe 2 and the second pipeline 11 to reach the oil outlet pipe 9, thereby transporting the engine oil to the pipelines of each lubrication system of the engine; when the engine stops and the post-lubrication function is adopted, the controller controls the pre-oil pump 4 to rotate forward. The engine oil passes from the oil pan 1 through the connecting pipe 2, the first pipeline 3, the oil pipe 5, and the pre-oil pipes 6 to reach the oil outlet pipe 9, thereby transporting the engine oil to the supercharger to lubricate and cool the supercharger and prevent the supercharger from being damaged; when it is necessary to replace the engine oil in the oil pan 1, the first stop valve 7 is in a closed state, the second stop valve 8 is in an open state, and the controller controls the pre-oil pump 4 to rotate forward. The engine oil in the oil pan 1 reaches the oil pipe 5 through the connecting pipe 2 and then flows out of the oil pipe 5, so that the engine oil in the oil pan 1 can be easily pumped out. Then the controller controls the pre-oil pump 4 to rotate in reverse, and the engine oil in the fuel tank can be pumped into the oil pan 1 through the pre-oil pump 4, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing the engine oil. This pre-oiling system can replace the engine oil through the pre-oil pump, which is convenient for the overall machine maintenance, effectively shortens the maintenance time required, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0021] Preferably, when the pre-feed oil pump 4 rotates forward, the first cut-off valve 7 is opened, and the second cut-off valve 8 is closed, the engine oil in the oil sump 1 can be transported through the connecting pipe 2, the first pipeline 3, the oil pipe 5, the pre-feed oil pipe 6, and the outlet pipe 9, and then delivered to the pipelines of each lubrication system of the engine; when the first cut-off valve 7 is closed and the second cut-off valve 8 is opened, the engine oil in the oil sump 1 can be pumped out through the connecting pipe 2, the first pipeline 3, and the oil pipe 5, achieving the effect of pumping out the engine oil in the oil sump 1. When the pre-feed oil pump 4 rotates in reverse, the engine oil in the fuel tank can be transported to the oil sump 1 through the oil pipe 5, the first pipeline 3, and the connecting pipe 2, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing the engine oil in the oil sump 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, there are two pre-feed oil pipes 6; by increasing the number of pre-feed oil pipes 6 between the outlet pipe 9 and the oil pipe 5, the engine oil flow rate can be effectively increased, and each lubrication system pipeline of the engine can be fully lubricated during the pre-feed stage.

[0023] In this embodiment, a check valve 10 is provided in each pre-feed oil pipe 6, and the flow direction of the check valve 10 is from the oil pipe 5 to the outlet pipe 9; when the pre-feed oil pump 4 stops and the oil pump 12 operates, it can prevent the engine oil in the outlet pipe 9 from flowing from the pre-feed oil pipe 6 to the oil pipe 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, a corrugated hose 14 is provided on the pre-feed oil pipe 6, and the corrugated hose 14 is located between the check valve 10 and the first cut-off valve 7; when the pre-feed oil pump 4 or the oil pump 12 is in a working state, the pre-feed oil pump 4 or the oil pump 12 will generate vibrations. If the pre-feed oil pump 4 or the oil pump 12 is affected by vibrations for a long time, the firmness of its installation and the connection with the pipeline will become loose, resulting in oil leakage and other situations. Installing the corrugated hose 14 on the pre-feed oil pipe 6 can avoid the influence of vibrations on the oil pump 12 or the pre-feed oil pump 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, sealing rings are provided between the three-way joint and the first pipeline 3, the second pipeline 11, and the connecting pipe 2. The three-way joint is connected to the first pipeline 3, the second pipeline 11, and the connecting pipe 2 through flanges, which is convenient for quick installation and disassembly; the sealing ring is an O-ring, which can effectively enhance the sealing performance between the three-way joint and the first pipeline 3, the second pipeline 11, and the connecting pipe 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the base 13 includes an upper mounting plate 15 and a bottom plate 16. Multiple support rods 17 are provided on the bottom plate 16, and the top of the support rods 17 is connected to the bottom of the upper mounting plate 15. The pre-feed oil pump 4 and the oil pipe 5 can be detachably mounted on the upper mounting plate 15; a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the upper mounting plate 15, and the upper mounting plate 15 is connected to the pre-feed oil pump 4 and the oil pipe 5 through bolts, which is convenient for repairing and replacing the pre-feed oil pump 4 and replacing the oil pipe 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, a rubber buffer pad 18 is provided between the upper mounting plate 15 and the pre-feed oil pump 4, enabling a flexible contact between the pre-feed oil pump 4 and the upper mounting plate 15, effectively reducing the impact of vibrations generated during the operation of the pre-feed oil pump 4 on the upper mounting plate 15, and avoiding the loosening of the connection between the upper mounting plate 15 and the pre-feed oil pump 4 caused by long-term vibrations.

[0028] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can be made, which will not affect the implementation effect of the present utility model and the practicality of the patent.
