[0002] The core role of oil pump in automobile engine is to establish lubrication system pressure. Through the rotation of gear or rotor mechanism, the oil pump sucks the oil in the oil sump and pressurizes it, and forcibly delivers it to the surface of each friction component of the engine to form an oil film, ensuring that key components such as the crankshaft, camshaft, and piston receive stable lubrication, heat dissipation, and cleaning functions. The oil pump itself has a pressure regulating valve that automatically adjusts the system oil pressure. When the pressure is too high, it releases pressure to ensure stable operation of the lubrication system.

[0003] The power source of the oil pump is usually driven by the crankshaft or camshaft of the engine, specifically through the following transmission methods: the driving gear is engaged with the crankshaft / camshaft gear, commonly used in externally meshing gear pumps; some designs use a chain or belt to connect the crankshaft and the oil pump transmission. Both of the above transmission methods require the addition of transmission components, which is not conducive to reducing the overall structure of the engine, especially for range extender engines. In order to make the range extender more compact, it is necessary to further simplify the transmission method of the oil pump. SUMMARY
