The oil storage structure includes an oil pan that closes a lower opening of the transmission case and forms an oil pool in a lower space inside the transmission case, and a strainer having a suction port for oil located in the oil pool. The suction port for the oil is provided so as to face a bottom wall portion of the oil pan with a gap in between, and the bottom wall portion of the oil pan is provided with a protruding portion protruding toward the suction port, with the protruding portion being formed in a direction across the suction port as viewed from the bottom wall portion.

The invention relates to an oil sump (1) comprising a lower shell (2) intended for containing lubricating oil of an engine, in which a flow of oil, referred to as suction oil flow (I), is sucked up via a suction tube (44) to supply a lubricating circuit, and an oil flow, referred to as returning oil flow (II), falls into the oil sump (1). The oil sump (1) comprises an anti-emulsion plate (8) arranged located at the mouth of the suction tube (44) during a transitional period in which the temperature of the oil is lower than an optimal operating temperature.

A continuously variable transmission has an oil pan, an oil strainer located above the oil pan and a control valve unit located above the oil pan. The control valve unit has a shape having a cutting portion formed by a part of the control valve unit being cut out when viewed from an oil pan side. The oil strainer is arranged so as to overlap the cutting portion. With this structure, it is possible to ease a restriction on layout in terms of a height direction in the continuously variable transmission.

An oil pick-up assembly includes an upper housing having an upper shell extending from a first end of the assembly to a second end of the assembly. The upper shell defines a mounting plane of the assembly. The upper housing further includes an upper peripheral flange surrounding the upper shell. The oil pick-up assembly also a lower housing having a lower shell extending from the first end of the assembly to the second end of the assembly. The lower shell includes a first portion adjacent to the first end and substantially parallel to the mounting plane and a second portion adjacent to the second end and formed at a first oblique angle relative to the mounting plane. The lower shell also includes a lower peripheral flange surrounding the lower shell, the lower peripheral flange of attached to the upper peripheral flange of the upper housing to form a chamber.

An engine mounting assembly includes a front frame element defining, in part, a structural load bearing assembly, a differential case mounted to the frame at a frame mounting area, and an oil pan having upright and bottom walls defining an oil sump. The differential case has an opening configured to receive an axle assembly and has walls defining a pan-receiving recess. The oil pan is configured to conform to the pan-receiving recess to be supported by the differential case and overlap the frame mounting area. The oil pan has a mounting flange extending from the upright walls and mounting bores that receives mounting bolts for coupling the oil pan to the engine and the oil pan to the differential case. The differential case and the oil pan form part of the structural load bearing assembly of the work vehicle to transfer structural loads to and from the front frame element.

A powertrain arrangement for a transverse mounted motor for an electric powered automotive passenger vehicle including opposing wheel shafts for powering two parallel mounted wheels, the shafts rotating about a first axis, the shafts having at least one end torsionally connected with a differential, an electrical rotor torsionally connected with the wheel shafts via a planetary gear train, an electrical stator surrounding the rotor, a casing supporting the rotor and the wheel shafts, the casing encompassing the stator, the casing having a floor forming a lubricant reservoir, and a baffle located in the lubricant reservoir. The baffle forming a wall with a portal allowing flow through the formed wall, and wherein an increase of fluid pressure throttles flow through the formed wall.

In order to improve and in particular to more economically manufacture and/or assemble and/or maintain a sump device comprising a sump body particularly for an oil supply in a commercial motor vehicle having a pipe unit comprising a pipe body wherein the sump body is an injection moulded part of plastics material it is proposed that the pipe unit be arranged on the sump body with play.

An oil supply system for a vehicle includes a plurality of oil pumps, suction oil passages, and a communication passage. The oil pumps are independently operational. The suction oil passages each connect an associated one of suction portions of the plurality of oil pumps and a common oil strainer. The communication passage connects the suction oil passages.

A liquid surface height inside a tank is allowed to be confirmed while blow-back of a liquid is reduced. A strainer body having a substantially bottomed tubular shape has a substantially D shape when viewed in a longitudinal direction. A bottom surface of the strainer body has a shape in which a part of a conical shape is cut away, and a top of the substantially conical shape overlaps with a notched portion notched to form the substantially D shape. The bottom surface protrudes toward an opening of the strainer body. A rod is provided adjacent to the notched portion of the strainer body, and a float is provided on a lower end of the rod.

An engine oil strainer includes a lubricating oil passage, and an oil inlet and an oil outlet which are respectively disposed at two ends of the lubricating oil passage. The engine oil strainer further includes a check valve which is disposed at the oil inlet and which only allows a lubricating oil to flow into the lubricating oil passage. Also disclosed herein are a lubrication system employing the engine oil strainer, and an internal combustion engine having the lubrication system. When the internal combustion engine stops operating, the lubricating oil flows back from the oil outlet into the engine oil strainer. Since the check valve is disposed at the location of the oil inlet of the engine oil strainer, the lubricating oil flowing back into the engine oil strainer is not capable of proceeding to flow back from the oil inlet into the oil pan.
