Abstract
A part of oil sucked by an oil pump is circulated to an oil pan through a hydraulic control circuit, an oil cooler and an oil passage provided in a transmission case and the oil pan. The oil guided to the oil pan is gushed out from a discharge port of the oil passage toward a suction port of an oil strainer communicating with the oil pump. The discharge port of the oil passage is disposed opposite and adjacent to the suction port of the oil strainer so that only the oil containing a small number of bubbles is sucked by the oil pump.
Claims3
An oil circulating apparatus of an automatic transmission having a transmission case, an oil pump, an oil cooler and an oil reservoir connected to said transmission case, for circulating a part of an oil to said oil pump through said oil cooler after said oil is sucked up by said oil pump and supplied to respective parts of said transmission, comprising;
- an oil passage provided downstream of said oil cooler;
- an oil strainer provided in said oil reservoir and connected with a suction side of said oil pump;
- a discharge port of said oil passage provided at a downstream and of said oil passage in the oil reservoir;
- and
- a suction port of said oil strainer provided opposite and adjacent to said discharge port;
- wherein a part of said oil passage is formed at an inside of and along an inner surface of said transmission case, and an other part of said oil passage is provided at an inside of and along an inner surface of said oil reservoir and connected with said part of said oil passage formed in said transmission case.
