Abstract
Description
したがって、オイルポンプの駆動により吐出したオイルが軸端給油室に至ると、軸端給油室から上流側メイン流路に入り、さらに連通した遠心分離式オイルフィルタ内に導かれる。 In the crankshaft, the upstream main flow passage and the downstream main flow passage perforated from the shaft end are formed apart from each other at the axial center of the shaft portion, and the upstream main flow passage and the downstream main flow passage of the shaft portion A centrifugal oil filter is provided at a position between the two, and the inside of the disk-shaped centrifugal oil filter communicates with the upstream main flow passage and also communicates with the downstream main flow passage.
Therefore, when the oil discharged by the drive of the oil pump reaches the shaft end oil supply chamber, it enters the upstream main flow path from the shaft end oil supply chamber and is led into the communicating centrifugal oil filter.
下流側メイン流路に入ったオイルは、分岐したサブ流路によりクランクピンの外周面などに吐出してコンロッドの大端部との軸支部にオイルが供給される。 When the centrifugal oil filter rotates integrally with the crankshaft, foreign matter having a high specific gravity mixed in the oil moves to the outer periphery by centrifugal force and is separated, and the filtered oil is communicated downstream from inside the centrifugal oil filter It flows out to the side main flow path.
The oil that has entered the downstream main flow path is discharged to the outer peripheral surface of the crank pin or the like by the branched sub flow path, and the oil is supplied to the pivot support portion with the large end portion of the connecting rod.
なお、オイルポンプより上流側では、オイルパンに貯留されたオイルを引き込むときに、オイルストレーナが一般に設けられている。 As described above, in the lubricating structure disclosed in
An oil strainer is generally provided on the upstream side of the oil pump when drawing in the oil stored in the oil pan.
遠心分離式オイルフィルタは、扁平な円盤状をして、回転によりオイル内に混じった比重の大きいスラッジや金属粉などの異物が径方向外側に移動して円盤の内周部に堆積する。 However, the oil strainer removes relatively large foreign matter, and fine foreign matter having a large specific gravity, such as metal powder that damages the bearing to be lubricated, needs to be separately removed with an oil filter. The centrifugal oil filter performs removal of fine foreign matter.
The centrifugal oil filter has a flat disk shape, and foreign substances such as sludge having a high specific gravity and metal powder mixed in the oil by rotation move outward in the radial direction and deposit on the inner circumferential portion of the disk.
そのため、遠心分離式オイルフィルタの内部に溜まった堆積物を取り除く清掃作業を行うメンテナンスの頻度が多くなる。 The centrifugal oil filter is provided on the shaft of the crankshaft, so there is no room for the space to be placed because it is necessary to avoid interference with other devices, and the disk is in the form of a flat disk, ensuring the capacity as much as possible. I try to do that, but I have limitations.
Therefore, the frequency of maintenance for performing a cleaning operation for removing deposits accumulated inside the centrifugal separation type oil filter is increased.
このようなメンテナンス作業を度々行うのは、極めて面倒でコストもかかる。 At the time of maintenance, the centrifugal oil filter is provided on the shaft of the crankshaft, so it is necessary to remove the crankcase cover, which is a major maintenance work and accumulated inside the centrifugal oil filter. Since it is necessary to carry out a cleaning operation to remove foreign matter and the like, labor is required.
Performing such maintenance work frequently is extremely cumbersome and costly.

In a lubrication structure of an internal combustion engine, a centrifugal separation type oil filter is provided on a shaft portion of the crankshaft that protrudes laterally from the crankcase.
An oil filter incorporating a filter element is provided in an oil passage extending from an oil pump that pumps up oil from the oil storage portion to the centrifugal separation type oil filter.
前記オイルフィルタは、前記機関ケースの外壁に設けられるようにしてもよい。 In the above configuration,
The oil filter may be provided on an outer wall of the engine case.
前記オイルフィルタは、前記クランクシャフトの軸方向視で、前記遠心分離式オイルフィルタと重ならない位置に配設されるようにしてもよい。 In the above configuration,
The oil filter may be disposed at a position not overlapping the centrifugal oil filter as viewed in the axial direction of the crankshaft.
前記オイルフィルタは、前記機関ケースにおける前記クランクシャフトの軸方向にほぼ垂直な側壁の周縁から軸方向に延出する外周壁に設けられるようにしてもよい。 In the above configuration,
The oil filter may be provided on an outer peripheral wall axially extending from a peripheral edge of a side wall substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the crankshaft in the engine case.
また、内燃機関のクランクシャフトの軸方向における幅を拡大することなくオイルフィルタを設けることができ、内燃機関の大型化を避けることができる。 According to this configuration, the engine case includes the side wall substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the crankshaft and the outer peripheral wall extending in the axial direction from the peripheral edge of the side wall, and the oil filter has a relatively strong outer peripheral wall By being provided, the oil filter can be firmly provided, and the strength and rigidity of the outer peripheral wall can be further improved.
Further, the oil filter can be provided without increasing the axial width of the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, and the enlargement of the internal combustion engine can be avoided.
前記オイルフィルタは、前記クランクシャフトの軸方向視で、一部が前記外周壁の外側に突出して設けられるようにしてもよい。 In the above configuration,
The oil filter may be provided such that a portion thereof protrudes outward of the outer peripheral wall as viewed in the axial direction of the crankshaft.
前記内燃機関は、前記クランクケースからシリンダ軸線がほぼ水平になるようにシリンダブロックが突出して設けられ、
前記機関ケースの前記外周壁のうち前記シリンダブロックが突出する壁部から底壁部に至る間の隅壁部に前記オイルフィルタが設けられるようにしてもよい。 In the above configuration,
The internal combustion engine is provided with a cylinder block projecting from the crankcase so that the cylinder axis is substantially horizontal.
The oil filter may be provided on a corner wall between the wall where the cylinder block protrudes and the bottom wall of the outer peripheral wall of the engine case.
前記オイルフィルタは、前記底壁部の下面よりも上方に位置するようにしてもよい。 In the above configuration,
The oil filter may be located above the lower surface of the bottom wall.
前記オイルフィルタは、前記オイルポンプよりも下方に配置されるようにしてもよい。 In the above configuration,
The oil filter may be disposed below the oil pump.
前記クランクケースの底壁部には、前記オイル貯留部に連通するオイルドレン孔が下方に開口して形成され、
前記オイルドレン孔の開口はキャップにより閉塞され、
前記キャップに保持されたオイルストレーナが前記オイルドレン孔に配置され、
前記オイルストレーナの上流側が前記オイル貯留部に連通され、
前記オイルストレーナの下流側が前記オイルポンプにより汲み上げるオイルの汲上げオイル通路に連通されるようにしてもよい。 In the above configuration,
An oil drain hole communicating with the oil storage portion is formed at the bottom wall portion of the crankcase to open downward.
The opening of the oil drain hole is closed by a cap,
An oil strainer held by the cap is disposed in the oil drain hole,
The upstream side of the oil strainer is in communication with the oil reservoir,
The downstream side of the oil strainer may be in communication with a pump oil passage for the oil pumped by the oil pump.
また、キャップに保持されたオイルストレーナがオイルドレン孔に配置されるので、オイルドレン孔からキャップを外すことで、オイルストレーナをクランクケースの内部から取り出すことができ、オイルストレーナのメンテナンスが簡単にできる。 Since the relatively large foreign matter is removed by the oil strainer on the upstream side of the oil filter, the load on the oil filter is reduced and the deterioration is suppressed.
Also, since the oil strainer held by the cap is disposed in the oil drain hole, the oil strainer can be taken out from the inside of the crankcase by removing the cap from the oil drain hole, and maintenance of the oil strainer can be simplified. .
