[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be emphasized that the following description is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope and application of the present invention.

[0026] Non-limiting and non-exclusive embodiments will be described with reference to the following figures, wherein the same reference numerals denote the same parts unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 The diagram illustrates a double-layered oil sump, comprising an inner shell 2 and an outer shell 1, with a cavity 8 between them. The outer shell 1 has an inlet 4 and an outlet 3 at its front and rear ends, respectively, connecting to the cavity 8. The inlet 4 is installed at a lower height than the outlet 3. Symmetrically arranged baffles 7 are also provided on both sides of the cavity 8, connecting the outer side of the inner shell 2 and the inner side of the outer shell 1. The lower end of the baffle 7 is above the bottom surface of the inner shell 2, and the upper end is below the upper surface of the inner shell 2. The baffles 7 separate the middle of the sides of the cavity 8, forming channels at the upper and lower ends of the cavity 8. This allows the medium entering the cavity 8 to pass through these channels, enhancing heat exchange between the medium and the inner shell 2 of the oil sump.

[0028] Preferably, the baffle 7 is inclined, with its lower end close to the inlet side and its upper end extending obliquely towards the outlet 3 side. Generally, in cold northern weather, the parking heating system equipped in the vehicle is used to heat the parking circulation water circuit. Then, the high-temperature water in the parking circulation circuit exchanges heat with the low-temperature coolant in the engine cooling circulation system through the heat exchanger 11, causing the temperature of the engine cooling circulation system to rise rapidly, thereby increasing the temperature of the engine cylinder block and cylinder head, and shortening the vehicle's starting time in cold weather. For example, in the prior art, the engine water jacket (cylinder block water jacket and cylinder head water jacket), the second water pump 15, and the heat exchanger 11 are usually connected in series to form a preheating circulation pipeline. During operation, the parking circulation water circuit and the preheating circulation pipeline exchange heat through the heat exchanger 11, thereby heating the engine (cylinder block and cylinder head) to a certain temperature before starting the engine.

[0029] Combination Figure 6The parking heater system includes a heat exchanger 11, a water tank 12, a first water pump 13, and a parking heater 14. The heat exchange in this parking heater system is existing technology, such as the air-water integrated parking heater heat exchange method disclosed in patent document CN118372613A. The water tank 12, the first water pump 13, the parking heater 14, and the heat exchanger 11 are connected in series to form a circulating water circuit. It also includes a second circulating pipe 17 and a third circulating pipe 18. The rear end of the second circulating pipe 17 is connected to the inlet 4 of the cavity 8 of the oil pan 16, and the front end is connected to the engine water jacket to draw water, that is, to introduce part of the coolant from the cooling circulation system after heat exchange into the cavity 8 of the oil pan 16. Drawing water in front of the engine results in a higher coolant temperature, improving the heating efficiency of the oil pan. The rear end of the third circulating pipe 18 is connected to the outlet 3 of the cavity 8 of the oil pan, and the front end returns water to the engine water jacket. Preferably, the third circulating pipe 18 returns water to the pipeline connecting the engine and the second water pump 15. By adding hot coolant to the cavity 8 of the oil pan 16 to heat the oil in the oil pan, the oil temperature can be raised rapidly, which can greatly improve the cold start condition.

[0030] Preferably, the inner shell 2 has stepped surfaces at both its front and rear ends, and at least one vertically placed partition 5 in the middle. The outer sides of the front and rear ends of the inner shell 2 have concave surfaces (23, 24), which form a first stepped surface 21 and a second stepped surface 22 inside the inner shell 2, resulting in a structure where the inner cavity of the inner shell 2 is smaller at the bottom and larger at the top. The inlet 4 is located on the outer shell 1 corresponding to the concave surface 23 at the front end of the inner shell 2, ensuring that the medium entering the cavity 8 from the inlet 4 is not obstructed, thus increasing throughput. A vertical clamping cavity 81 is formed between the rear end of the outer shell 1 and the rear end of the inner shell 2. The clamping cavity 81 is part of the cavity 8, and the outlet 3 connects to the clamping cavity 81.

[0031] The partition 5 has an n-shaped structure, with its two sides and lower end abutting against the two sides and bottom surface of the inner shell 2, respectively, and an oil passage hole 51 is provided at its lower part. Preferably, there are two partitions 5, including a first partition and a second partition, which divide the inner shell 2 into three regions.

[0032] In one installation example, the partition 5 is welded to the side wall of the inner shell 2. In this way, the engine oil at the bottom of the inner shell 2 flows through the oil passage 51.

[0033] Combination Figure 1 and 5In another installation example of the partition 5, the partition 5 is detachably mounted on the side wall of the inner shell 2. For example, the side wall of the inner shell 2 is provided with a mounting block 6, which has a vertically arranged mounting groove that matches the thickness of the partition 5, and the partition 5 is snapped into the mounting groove. Preferably, the partition 5 and the mounting groove are interference-fitted.

[0034] To facilitate the drainage of engine oil from the oil pan 16, an oil drain valve is provided at the bottom of the inner shell 2, with its opening extending beyond the outer side of the outer shell 1. When the oil drain valve is opened, the engine oil in the inner shell 2 is drained from it. The top of the inner shell 2 is also provided with several reinforcing ribs 9, with both ends of each rib connected to both sides of the inner shell 2.

[0035] Those skilled in the art will recognize that numerous variations are possible with respect to the above description, and the embodiments and figures are merely for describing one or more specific implementations.

[0036] Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, many modifications can be made to adapt specific situations to the doctrine of the present invention without departing from the central concept of the present invention described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but may include all embodiments and equivalents that fall within the scope of the present invention.
