OIL COLLECTING DEVICE FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to an oil collecting device for an internal combustion engine, comprising an oil collecting housing (2) arranged under a crankcase, consisting of at least two sections with varying depths of space construction. An oil suction line (8) is disposed in a deeper section thereof (4) and used to transport the lubricating oil to the consumer via a pump. According to the invention, a separate insert (18) is secured in the oil collecting housing (2), comprising an oil barrier (22, 28) arranged across the longitudinal extension of the oil collector housing (4) preventing the lubricating oil from flowing back from the deeper construction space section (4) into the crank area and/or into the flatter construction space surface (12) when the internal combustion engine is in a transversal position, in addition to comprising oil return channels (34, 38, 40) for the lubricating oil flowing back from the cylinder head.
