Abstract
In an internal combustion engine having an electromagnetically driven valve for driving one of an intake valve and an exhasut valve, at least a lubricating oil passage to a head section including a lubricating oil passage to the electromagnetically driven valve is provided independently from other lubricating oil passage such that the lubricating oil for the electromagnetically driven valve is not mixed with the other lubricating oil. A lubricating device is allowed to have a portion where the lubricating oil is commonly used so long as the lubricating oil for the electromagnetically driven valve and the lubricating oil for the other elements are not mixed.
Claims9
An internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a block section that includes a piston and a crankshaft connected thereto;
- an electromagnetically driven valve driving one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve;
- and
- a cam driven valve driving the other valve;
- a first lubricating oil passage being formed to the electromagnetically driven valve;
- and
- a second lubricating oil passage being formed separately non-communicating from the first lubricating oil passage, and being formed to the cam driven valve and the block section.
An internal combustion engine, comprising:
- an electromagnetically driven valve that serves to drive one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve;
- a cam driven valve that serves to drive the other valve;
- at least two lubricating oil passages, one of the at least two lubricating oil passages being formed to the electromagnetically driven valve independently from the other lubricating oil passage;
- a head section that includes the electromagnetically driven valve and the cam driven valve;
- a block section that includes a piston and a crankshaft connected thereto;
- a first lubricating oil passage to the head section including the lubricating oil passage to the electromagnetically driven valve;
- and
- a second lubricating oil passage to the block section, the second lubricating oil passage being formed separately, and non-communicating from the first lubricating oil passage wherein the lubricating oil passage to the electromagnetically driven valve, a third lubricating oil passage to the cam driven valve, and the second lubricating oil passage to the block section are independently formed.
An internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a head section;
- a block section that includes a piston and a crankshaft connected thereto;
- an electromagnetically driven valve driving one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve, the electromagnetically driven valve formed in the head section;
- a cam driven valve formed in the head section and driving the other valve;
- a first lubricating oil passage being formed to the electromagnetically driven valve and the cam driven valve;
- and
- a second lubricating oil passage being formed separately, and non-communicating from the first lubricating oil passage, and being formed to the block section including the piston and crank shaft.
