Definitions
- TITLE Quick-fit acoustic protector.
- the present invention relates to an internal combustion engine.
- the present invention relates to an acoustic protection screen for a heat engine part.
- the present invention relates more particularly to an acoustic protection screen for a heat engine crankshaft end.

- Said distribution end carries at least one drive wheel for driving in rotation various elements of the engine such as a camshaft, an accessory pulley, an actuating wheel of an alternator-starter or of a hydraulic pump.
- Said engine generates various types of pollution that we try to reduce or even eliminate. These pollutions are for example soot and oxides of carbon.
- acoustic protection screens enveloping parts of the engine, either on parts emitting sound, or on parts receiving and capable of reflecting sound.
- Publication FR3079001-A1 thus proposes a protective screen for an air filter for a heat engine of a motor vehicle covering said filter which does not generate noise or sound in order to reduce sound reflections on the wall of said filter.
- Another publication FR3006265-A1 discloses an acoustic protection screen for a motor vehicle engine based on polyurethane foam.

- the cover is attached to the driving wheel of the crankshaft.
- the cover is fixed integral with the driving wheel of the crankshaft so as not to prevent access to other parts of the engine in the vicinity.
- the cover includes an acoustic protection layer facing the driving wheel of the crankshaft.
- the cover comprises an acoustic protection layer which faces the driving wheel of the crankshaft to better absorb noise.
- the device comprises an angular centering pin.

- the axial quick fastening means comprise magnetic cylindrical tokens embedded in the protective layer having a free circular face intended for contact with the drive wheel.
- magnetic cylindrical tokens are embedded in the sound insulation layer and have a substantially free circular face to come into contact with the driving wheel which is made of steel. Said tokens are able to maintain the acoustic protection layer against the drive wheel in a simple manner.
- Magnetic tokens do not require any mechanical operation on the driving wheel.
- the quick-fixing means comprise clip-fastening means.
- the axial fixing means comprise at least one clip-on fixing element connected to the driving wheel by force connection
- the device comprises a fastening ring fixed integral with the drive wheel cooperating with the acoustic protection cover.
- the acoustic protection device comprises a fastening ring integral with the drive wheel to facilitate the attachment of the cover against the drive wheel.
- the fixing ring is arranged in the extension of the driving wheel along the axis of said wheel.

- the engine is the seat of combustions which occur in at least one combustion chamber arranged above the at least one piston. Said combustion therefore generates noise which can propagate via the crankshaft to the outside of the engine. It can be seen in Figure 1 that the distribution face 53 is not completely by a distribution housing 54. Said distribution housing 54 does not cover the drive wheel 40 to allow for example the training of other accessories not shown . The noise generated by the operation of the engine can then escape to the outside of said engine via the drive wheel 40.
