TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the diesel engine technical field, concretely relates to a marine diesel engine oil sump. BACKGROUND
[0002] The oil sump is installed at the bottom of the engine and is an important component of the engine, mainly used for storing oil, collecting oil that splashes and drips after lubrication, preventing oxidation of the oil, preventing foreign matter or impurities from entering the engine, and so on.
[0003] To meet the oil consumption requirements of long-time navigation of the ship, the oil sump needs to have a large enough volume. When the ship is sailing at sea, it may be subjected to wave impact and produce large-angle tilting and swinging that changes alternately. The oil in the oil sump fluctuates violently, causing the motion parts of the diesel engine, such as the crankshaft balance block, piston, connecting rod, etc., to be immersed in the oil for a short time and stir the oil, resulting in increased power loss of the diesel engine, deterioration of the oil, and other problems. In order to solve the above problems, the existing technology usually requires the ship to change the structure of the engine room to increase the space of the engine room, so as to adapt to the installation space of a larger oil sump. However, this operation is very complex and is difficult to implement due to environmental constraints. In addition, a complex oil blocking and defoaming structure needs to be provided inside the oil sump, which can to some extent alleviate the problems of increased power loss and oil deterioration caused by long-time navigation of the ship and tilting and swinging of the ship.
[0004] How to simplify the structure of the oil sump, reduce the manufacturing cost of the parts and components, meet the oil consumption requirements of long-time navigation of the ship, and reduce the power loss and oil deterioration of the diesel engine caused by violent fluctuation of the oil without changing the structure of the engine room of the ship is a technical problem that cannot be overcome by the existing technology.
[0005] In addition, when a high-power marine diesel engine is installed in the engine room of the ship, the oil sump may occasionally directly support the weight of the diesel engine due to the limitation of the internal space of the engine room. Therefore, the oil sump is required to have good structural strength and stability.
[0006] The existing high-power marine diesel engine is usually designed as a cast iron or cast aluminum part, which is difficult to achieve elegance and lightness in terms of weight and volume. In addition, due to the limitation of the installation space of the engine room of the ship, the existing cast iron and cast aluminum oil sump cannot accommodate enough oil in the limited installation space, which cannot meet the requirements of long-time continuous navigation of the ship. In addition, the stamping oil sump made of thin steel plate is prone to deformation and has insufficient overall load-bearing capacity, which cannot support the weight of the diesel engine. SUMMARY
[0007] The utility model discloses a marine diesel engine oil sump, under the premise of not changing marine engine room structure, both simplify oil sump structure, reduce the cost of parts manufacturing, satisfy the oil consumption requirement required by marine long time navigation, reduce the power loss increase of diesel engine and oil metamorphic problem caused by oil violent fluctuation, and the structural strength and structural stability are good.
