US 5136993 AAbstract
An oil guiding housing is arranged below the crankcase of an internal-combustion engine and has a storage tank for lubricating oil and a housing part with a connection for an oil filter. In the pan part of the oil guiding housing situated directly below the crankshaft, a forward flow and return flow part for lubricating oil is integrated. The oil guiding housing ensures a targeted guiding of all lubricating oil flows and provides a good degassing of the oil.
1. An oil guiding housing for an internal-combustion engine having a crankcase, a crankshaft, a crank space and integrated return flow ducts for lubricating oil flowing back from cylinder heads, comprising means for detachably fastening the housing to a flange of the crankcase, a pan part extending approximately parallel with respect to the crankshaft and which bounds the crank space adjacent tot eh crankshaft, and a forward flow device and a return flow device for lubricating oil arranged in the pan part and extending separately from one another so as to lead into a storage tank for lubricating oil which is held on the end side of the pan part and is separated therefrom by a bottom of the pan part, wherein a single inlet opening for the oil is arranged in the bottom of the pan part approximately in the center and above the storage tank.
The present invention relates to an oil guiding housing and, more particularly, to a housing which is detachably fastened to a flange of the crankcase and ensures a targeted guiding of all lubricating oil flows and provides a good degassing of the lubricating oil of an internal-combustion engine.
These and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
An oil guiding housing 1 is fastened to a flange 2 of a crankcase bottom part 3 of an internal-combustion engine. The top part 4 of the oil guiding housing is situated in a horizontally extending plane E1. With respect to a driving direction represented by the arrow A, a housing part 7 is arranged on the front end 5 of the oil guiding housing 1 below a pan part 6. At the rear end 8, a storage tank 9 for lubricating oil is arranged below the pan part 6. The pan part 6 is bounded by the horizontal plane E1 and by a plane E2 which is in parallel to plane E1.
