Abstract
The invention describes an oil-pickup system for an internal combustion engine, especially a one-cylinder diesel engine with at least three oil-pickup tubes (26, 27, 28), which are in communication with the oil pump via a suction tube (29) and which are disposed in the oil pan (24) in such a way that, if the internal combustion engine is in inclined position, intake of air is prevented by the control valves associated with the oil-pickup tubes.
Claims6
An oil-pickup system for an internal combustion engine, especially a one-cylinder diesel engine, which system is provided with an oil pan and an oil pump, wherein the pickup system is provided with at least three oil-pickup tubes having at least four pickup heads, which are in communication with the oil pump via a suction tube and which are disposed in the oil pan in such a way that, when the internal combustion engine is in inclined position, intake of air is prevented by control valves disposed in the oil-pickup tubes, and wherein the control valves are actuated by slide rods (1, 2, 3) which slide under the effect of gravity, characterized in that
- the control valves comprise valve plates (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) which cooperate with valve seats (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35) disposed at the ends of the tubes.
