Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oil pan intended to be fixed under the engine block of an internal combustion engine.
  • the main purpose of an oil sump is to collect the oils used to lubricate all mechanical parts in rotational or translational motion (eg camshafts, valve stems, crankshaft bearings, piston / cylinder interfaces, piston / connecting rods, crankshaft / connecting rods, etc.).
  • the oil pump propels the oil towards these different parts to be lubricated, and the oil then drops back to the crankcase by at least one circuit (by natural trickle or ducted return depending on the case).
  • an oil pan has a lower shell which is fixed under the engine block.
  • This type of casing receives in its internal volume a strainer, to stop the solids contained in the oil so that they reach the suction port of the pump, and an anti-emulsion plate, whose role is to prevent or limit the movements of the oil in the crankcase, in particular to the free surface of the oil.
  • Oil sump type devices incorporating different components of the oil circulation system described by the documents are already known.
  • EP1276974 B1 and EP 2 133 596 the oil sump is constituted by a lower shell molded in a reinforced thermoplastic material and having internal and external reinforcement ribs, as well as at least one longitudinal separator and a transverse separator making it possible to stiffen the casing.
  • An insert serving as an anti-emulsion plate is attached and bears, in assembled position, on the separators.
  • the housing contains an oil pump arranged parallel to an oil lifting line.
  • a disadvantage of this housing is its high production cost, particularly due to the addition of longitudinal and transverse separators.
  • the integration of an oil pump on the bottom of the housing causes additional space in the housing. This last disadvantage greatly limits the increase of the ground clearance and / or limits the increase of the hood guard if the motor is translated downwards.
  • EP0358895 A2 which, like many other documents, describes an oil sump incorporating an oil strainer arranged freely at a predefined distance from the bottom of the sump and allowing the oil to be sucked.
  • the major disadvantage of this type of casing is in the event of a severe impact on the crankcase at the level of the strainer, the latter may be clogged and cause the stoppage of the oil circulation, thus causing the engine to fail.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the invention relates to an oil pan intended to be fixed to an engine block, comprising a lower shell, a strainer and an anti-emulsion plate, wherein the lower shell comprises an element forming a lower portion of the strainer. , the lower shell and said element being made in one piece by molding, the housing further comprising an upper shell comprising an element forming an upper portion of the strainer, and a wall forming the anti-emulsion plate, the upper shell, said element and the anti-emulsion plate being made in one piece by molding.
  • the lower and upper shells are tightly assembled to one another to form a rigid casing, the lower portion and the upper portion of the strainer being, in the assembled state of the shells, assembled one to the other. other sealingly, with interposition of a grid, so as to form a strainer allowing the aspiration of oil to the engine.
  • the invention provides an oil sump consisting essentially of two separate parts assembled to one another and comprising, in an integrated manner and not reported, the strainer and the anti-emulsion plate.
  • the production in one piece of the lower shell and the lower portion of the strainer, and on the other hand the upper shell, the upper portion of the strainer and the anti-emulsion plate, ensures stiffening of the casing of oil and allows the formation of a solid structure of the low engine module.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing such casings, as compared with the prior art.
  • One of the advantages of the present invention is to use the oil strainer as stiffening element along the three axes X, Y and Z (the Z axis being the vertical axis, and the X, Y axes defining a horizontal plane).
  • This rigidifying element integrated and not reported, makes it possible to compensate for the creep of the material - especially when it is a thermoplastic - (Z axis) in direct and permanent contact with a certain mass of oil subjected to high temperatures (about 110 ° C continuously, up to 160 ° C maximum), vibrations and accelerations.
  • This stiffening occurs both in a generally horizontal plane (X, Y) close to the fastening flange to the engine block and in a generally vertical plane solidarisant said plane with the bottom of the housing.
  • thermoplastic generally polyamide 6 or polyamide 6-6 or stiffening elements reported type screwed bridges for example or as described in the document EP1276974 B1 , the addition of longitudinal and / or transverse separators.
  • the lower shell comprises a bottom wall and a peripheral wall, the lower portion of the strainer protruding from said bottom wall upwards, and the upper shell comprises an upper wall and a peripheral wall, the upper portion of the strainer projecting from said upper wall downwards.
  • the lower and upper shells are assembled at their periphery and the lower and upper portions of the strainer are also assembled at their periphery.
  • the lower and upper shells have peripheral edges of complementary shapes and that, moreover, the lower and upper portions of the strainer also have peripheral edges of complementary shapes. Thanks to the invention, the lower and upper portions of the strainer participate in optimal centering between the two shells.
  • the lower portion of the strainer comprises a hollow foot protruding from a bottom wall of the lower shell, said foot having at least one notch formed near said bottom wall, so as to allow the suction of the oil from the interior volume of the lower shell in said foot.
  • the present invention can significantly reduce the risk of air intake between the oil pump and the strainer.
  • the lower portion of the strainer comprises for example an open channel at its upper part, supported by two feet projecting from a bottom wall of the lower shell, at least one foot being hollow and arranged to allow the suction of the oil from the interior volume of the lower shell to said channel.
  • the upper portion of the strainer may comprise a channel formed in an upper wall of the upper shell, said channel being open downwards and opening out of the housing by an orifice formed in said upper wall and surrounded by a substantially cylindrical portion forming the strainer outlet.
  • the integrated strainer outlet to the upper shell ensures the centering of said housing relative to the engine block.
  • the upper shell comprises an upper wall and a peripheral wall, the upper wall constituting the anti-emulsion plate.
  • the latter is therefore integrated into the upper shell.
  • the lower shell is provided on its outer surface with ribs - for example oriented ribs - intended to stiffen the housing and to absorb energy by breaking said ribs during impacts.
  • the upper shell has an upper wall having, at its periphery, a plurality of perforations for fixing said housing to the engine block with the interposition of a seal.
  • the upper wall may have, at its periphery, a groove receiving a seal capable of sealing between said housing and the engine block.
  • the casing may further comprise a soundproofing and / or shock absorbing part assembled under said casing, for example by fixing means cooperating with at least one of the outer faces of the lower shell of said casing.
  • the oil sump module or low engine according to the invention has the advantage of allowing the realization of forms in strong undercut in the lower part of the housing, and thus to gain a certain volume laterally but also to reduce the vertical footprint.
  • the direct consequence of this advantage is an increase in the ground clearance and / or an increase in guard hood if the engine is translated down (to overcome the problem of pedestrian impact).
