Thus, it is possible to ensure that the inlet of the jet provided in place in the lubricating oil passage in the internal combustion engine cannot be occluded by cuttings or a dust incorporated in the lubricating oil flowing in the lubricating oil passage. <IMAGE>
Description
The present invention relates to a lubricating oil
passage structure in an internal combustion engine for
supplying a lubricating oil to portions to be lubricated in the
internal combustion engine.
In an internal combustion engine, in general, to
guarantee the smooth operation of the internal combustion
engine, a lubricating oil passage for supplying a pressurized
lubricating oil to portions to be lubricated such as rotating
and sliding portions of the internal combustion engine is
provided, and a constriction passage, i.e., a jet is provided
in place in the lubricating oil passage to communicate with the
latter, so that the pressurized lubricating oil flowing in the
lubricating oil passage is ejected through the jet, and for
example, the ejected lubricating oil is supplied to a back side
of a piston to lubricate and cool the piston (for example, see
Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No.9-209733).
It should be noted here that even if the lubricating oil
filtered by an oil filter flows in the lubricating oil passage,
the following problem is encountered: It is inevitable that
a foreign matter such as a small amount of a dust and cuttings
is incorporated into the lubricating oil. The foreign matter
may reach the inlet of the constriction passage, i.e., the jet
provided in the lubricating oil passage, thereby occluding the
inlet, and in such case, the amount and pressure of lubricating
oil ejected from the jet are reduced.
The present invention has been accomplished with such
circumstances in view, and it is an object of the present
invention to provide a new lubricating oil passage structure
in an internal combustion engine, wherein the inlet of the jet
cannot be occluded by the foreign matter.
To achieve the above object, according to the present
invention, there is provided a lubricating oil passage
structure in an internal combustion engine, comprising a jet
provided in place in a lubricating oil passage leading to an
oil pump, so that a pressurized lubricating oil flowing in the
lubricating oil passage is ejected toward portions to be
lubricated through the jet,
characterized in that oil grooves are provided in an inlet of the jet to communicate with the jet, the oil grooves being opened into the lubricating oil passage and extending diametrically from the center of the jet. With such feature, the inlet of the jet is prevented from being occluded by a foreign matter such as a dust and cuttings incorporated in the lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil can be ejected always in an appropriate amount and under an appropriate pressure from the jet.
characterized in that oil grooves are provided in an inlet of the jet to communicate with the jet, the oil grooves being opened into the lubricating oil passage and extending diametrically from the center of the jet. With such feature, the inlet of the jet is prevented from being occluded by a foreign matter such as a dust and cuttings incorporated in the lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil can be ejected always in an appropriate amount and under an appropriate pressure from the jet.
According to another aspect and feature of the present
invention, in addition to the first arrangement, the oil grooves
are cross-shaped grooves extending diametrically about the jet.
With such feature, the inlet of the jet is prevented further
reliably from being occluded by a foreign matter such as a dust
and cuttings incorporated in the lubricating oil, and the
lubricating oil can be ejected always in an appropriate amount
and under an appropriate pressure from the jet.
Fig.1 is a sectional view of essential portions of an
internal combustion engine provided with a lubricating oil
passage structure according to the present invention; Fig. 2 is
an enlarged view of a portion surrounded by a phantom circle
indicated by an arrow 2 in Fig. 1; and Fig.3 is a partial view
of a portion indicated by an arrow 3 in Fig.2.
The mode for carrying out the present invention will now
be described by way of an embodiment shown in the accompanying
drawings.
First, an embodiment of the present invention will be
described with reference to Figs.1 to 3.
Referring to Fig. 1, an engine body E of a 4-cycle internal
combustion engine includes a cylinder block 1 having a cylinder
bore 2 provided therein, a cylinder head 3 which is fixed onto
a deck surface of the cylinder block 1 and in which a combustion
chamber 4 is defined to confront the cylinder bore 2, and a
crankcase 5 fixed to a lower surface of the cylinder block 1.
An oil pan 6 is fixed to a lower surface of the crankcase 5.
As usual, a crankshaft 7 is rotatably carried within the
crankcase 5 with a ball bearing 8 interposed therebetween, and
a connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected at its larger end
to a crankpin 7a of the crankshaft 7 through a needle bearing
11 and at its smaller end to a piston pin 13 of a piston 12
slidably received in the cylinder bore 2.
A lubricating system L is provided in the engine body E
for lubricating various portions of the engine body E. The
lubricating system L is of a conventionally known construction,
and a suction passage 16 connected to a suction port of an oil
pump 15 connected to the lubricating system L is connected at
its lower end to an oil strainer 17 immersed in a lubricating
oil stored in the oil pan 6. A discharge passage 18 connected
to a discharge port of the oil pump 15 communicates with a main
gallery 21 defined as a lubricating oil passage in the cylinder
block 1.
A piston-lubricating oil passage 24 defined in the
crankcase 5 communicate with an intermediate portion of the main
gallery 21, and a jet 25 is opened into a wall 24a of the passage
24, which confronts the cylinder bore 2 and the jet 25 has an
inlet communicating with the piston-lubricating oil passage 24
and an ejecting outlet directed toward a back side of the piston
12 within the cylinder bore 2.
As clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3, oil grooves 26 according
to the present invention are provided at the inlet of the jet
25 to communicate with the inlet of the jet 25, and extend
diametrically in a cross-shape about the jet 25, as shown in
Fig.3. Sides of the cross-shaped oil groove 26, which confront
the piston-lubricating oil passage 24, are opened into the
piston-lubricating oil passage 24 over the substantially entire
region of the latter.
In Fig.1, reference character 28 is a lubricating oil
passage defined in the crankshaft 7; reference character 29 is
a timing transmitting device for operating a valve-operating
mechanism (not shown) in operative association with the
crankshaft 7; reference character 30 is a gear for driving the
oil pump; and reference character 31 is a gear for driving a
clutch leading to a transmission.
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described
below. If the crankshaft 7 is now rotated by the operation of
the internal combustion engine and the oil pump 15 is driven,
the lubricating oil within the oil pan 6 is drawn via the oil
strainer 17 and fed under pressure to the main gallery 21 defined
as the lubricating oil passage in the cylinder block 1.
A portion of the pressurized lubricating oil flowing in
the main gallery 21 is supplied to the piston-lubricating oil
passage 24. The lubricating oil reaching the passage 24 is
ejected from the jet 25 directed to the back side of the piston
12 as shown by an arrow a in Figs.1 and 2, and is supplied to
the back side of the piston 12 to lubricate and cool the piston
12 and an inner wall surface of the cylinder bore 2.
The lubricating oil flowing in the main gallery 21 is
filtered by the oil strainer 17, but a portion of a foreign matter
R such as a fine dust and fine cuttings may not be filtered off
and may be fed through the main gallery 21 to the piston-lubricating
oil passage 24. The foreign matter R may occlude
a center portion of the inlet of the small-diameter jet 25, as
shown by a phantom line in Fig. 2. In such case, however, since
the oil grooves 26 of the cross shape are provided diametrically
at the inlet of the jet 25 to communicate with the inlet of the
jet 25 and opened into the piston-lubricating oil passage 24
in the embodiment, the pressurized lubricating oil within the
piston-lubricating oil passage 24 can be fed under pressure via
the oil grooves 26 of the cross shape to the jet 25, as shown
by a phantom arrow b in Fig. 2, and can be ejected from the jet
25 toward the back side of the piston 12.
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been
described in detail, it will be understood that the present
invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and
various embodiments may be made within the scope of the
invention. For example, although the four oil grooves 26 are
defined in the cross shape diametrically from the center of the
jet 25 in the oil passage provided at the inlet of the jet 25
in the above-described embodiment, one to three or five or more
oil grooves may be defined diametrically from the center of the
jet 25 in place of the four oil grooves. In addition, the
lubricating oil passage structure according to the present
invention has been described as being carried out in the jet
directed to the back side of the piston in the above-described
embodiment, but it is of course that the lubricating oil passage
structure can be carried out in another jet provided in a
lubricating oil passage.
