Title:
BUBBLE ELIMINATOR FOR OIL PAN
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH01104907
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To give a microvibration to lubricating oil housed in an oil pan, thereby making bubbles being contained in this lubricating oil go up quickly and eliminating them efficiently, and prevent a lubrication shortage or the like from occurring by installing an ultrasonic generator additionally in the oil pan. CONSTITUTION:In an engine, an oil pan 2 is connected to the lower part of a crankcase 1, and lubricating oil 3 is housed in this oil pan 2. During engine driving, the lubricating oil 3 is sucked up from a straight 5 installed in a suction port of an oil pump interlocking with a crankshaft 4, and fed to each sliding part of the engine. In this constitution aforesaid, an ultrasonic generator 6 is additionally installed in a lower end of the oil pan 2. Then, this ultrasonic generator 6 is connected to a battery 8 via a switch 7 interlocking with an engine switch, thereby generating a microvibration during the engine driving. With this operation, bubbles being contained in the lubricating oil 3 are quickly raised up by the microvibration, and efficiently eliminated.
