Programmable computer controlled electric oil pump drive for engines

A programmable computer controlled electric oil pump drive for engines comprising:

• an electric motor having a motor drive shaft;
• an oil pump having a pump drive shaft;
• a coupler device having two ends, one end of said coupler device having a cavity which is sized to receive said motor drive shaft, the other end of said coupler device having a cavity which is sized to receive said pump drive shaft, said coupler device having a magnet attached thereto;
• a programmable controller supplying said electric motor with voltage, said programmable controller receiving the speed of the engine and supplying a particular value of voltage to said electric motor according to a look-up table or an algorithm in said programmable controller;
• and
• a speed sensor being mounted such that thereof produces an electrical signal in response to the rotation of said magnet, said electrical signal being input into said programmable controller, said programmable controller changing the value of voltage sourced to said electric motor if the speed thereof is not consistent with said look-up table or said algorithm.

A programmable computer controlled electric oil pump drive for engines comprising:

• an electric motor having a motor drive shaft;
• an oil pump having a pump drive shaft;
• a reservoir for retaining a quantity of oil;
• a device for combining a portion of said quantity of oil with a portion of fuel;
• a coupler device having two ends, one end of said coupler device retaining said motor drive shaft, the other end of said coupler device retaining said pump drive shaft;
• a programmable controller supplying said electric motor with voltage, said programmable controller receiving the speed of the engine and supplying a particular value of voltage to said electric motor according to a look-up table or an algorithm in said programmable controller;
• a magnet being attached to said coupler device;
• and
• a speed sensor being mounted such that thereof produces an electrical signal in response to the rotation of said magnet, said electrical signal being input into said programmable controller.

A method of providing oil injection to an engine utilizing an electric motor driven oil pump, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing an oil pump;
• (b) coupling said oil pump to an electric motor;
• (c) providing a programmable controller which receives a speed signal from the engine;
• (d) sourcing said electric motor with a value of voltage which is proportional to the speed of said engine;
• and
• (e) changing the value of voltage sourced to said electric motor if the speed thereof is not consistent with a look-up table or an algorithm.
