    摘要: An oil filter pump system for automatically prelubricating an internal combustion engine, uses a well known conventional oil filter design further including inlet and outlet check valves and a flexible membrane operatively connected to a prime mover. The prime mover actuates the flexible membrane back and forth from an unbiased at rest position according to an operating cycle programmed into an electronic controller. The electronic controller switches control power from the normally provided battery according to an operating cycle. The elapsed time of the operating cycle is smaller than the elapsed time for the previous prelubricating cycle to become ineffective from oil dripping from working surfaces desired to be protected from wear. The alternate movement of the flexible membrane cooperating with the inlet and outlet check valve scheme converts the conventional oil filter into an effective diaphragm pump readily connected to the normally provided engine lubricating galleries for the purpose of discharging a portion of lubricating fluid removed from the normally provided oil sump in a conventional internal combustion engine. In another embodiment, an adapter kit assembly is made to mate to a conventional oil filter by means of clamping the assembly around the conventional oil filter. A set of orifices is easily punctured in the upper wall of the conventional oil filter. An inlet and outlet check valve scheme is provided and with a prime mover alternately moving a flexible membrane in the adapter kit, converts the combination into an effective diaphragm pump. Power transmission means to the flexible membrane can be pneumatic, mechanical, electromagnetic, hydraulic, among others. According to another aspect of the invention, a method for automatically prelubricating an engine includes the steps of providing an electronic controller means coupled to a pump for automatically switching control power from the battery to the prime mover according to an operating cycle program. Programming the electronic controller with the operating cycle program which is defined as the elapsing of a first period of time added to the elapsing of a second period of time. Actuating the oil filter pump during the elapsing of the first period of time to pump and discharge the lubricating oil contained in the oil sump into the engine lubricating galleries. Thereafter, elapsing of the second period of time. And, thereafter repeating the operating cycle whereby by continuously repeating the operating cycle the engine is automatically prelubricated and primed, and protected from wear by simultaneous priming and prelubricating.

    摘要: An assembly of auxiliary apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a coolant pump, an oil cooler device, and an oil filter unit combined and interconnected as a unitary unit for mounting on the internal combustion engine. The oil cooler device includes a housing having an oil pathway and a coolant pathway formed therein. The pathways are arranged to allow heat exchange between oil and coolant flowing through the pathways. The housing has a mounting surface for attachment to the internal combustion engine such that the oil pathway and the coolant pathway both extend beyond the mounting surface and into a recess of a wall of the engine. The assembly allows the engine envelope size to be reduced.

    摘要: An oil filter and an oil cooler of a motorcycle combustion engine are disposed on an outer surface of an engine body side by side in a right-left direction. A first engine lubrication passage extending in the right-left direction is connected to an outflow passage for the oil cooler. A second engine lubrication passage is connected to the first engine lubrication passage, to extend frontward, and is disposed parallel to an inflow passage and an outflow passage for the oil filter. A third engine lubrication passage is connected to the second engine lubrication passage and extends upward from the second engine lubrication passage in front of the first engine lubrication passage.

    摘要: An apparatus for reducing wear in an internal combustion engine includes a pump, a control element, an external controller. The apparatus of the preferred embodiment is intended to be located inside an internal combustion engine, thereby eliminating most hardware. The control element is connected to a normally provided battery and automatically switches control power from the battery to the electric pump according to a programmed control operating cycle program, and is operatively independent of ignition switch activation or operator action. The inlet of the pump is immersed in oil inside the normally provided engine oil sump. The lubricating fluid is pumped through the high arrestance filter, yielding a substantially contaminant free lubricating fluid which flows into the normally provided engine lubricating gallery. The external controller, such as a wireless remote control, is provided to activate the pump remotely upon demand. In a second embodiment, a three-way valve is provided to facilitate evacuation of the oil sump for the purpose of an oil change by overriding automatic operation of the electric pump by a local control switch. In the second embodiment the inlet of the electric pump is dimensioned to be affixed and fluidly connected to the oil sump. An assembly adapter is disclosed that facilitates installation of the present invention, allows for easy fluid access to the engine oil gallery, and prevents backflow of the periodically injected oil which is done acording to the present invention operating strategy. The method discloses the periodic injection of oil into the lubricating galleries, whereby by continuously repeating the operating cycle the engine is automatically protected from wear by simultaneous priming, purifying and prelubricating.
