An oil supply device for an internal combustion engine includes: a variable displacement pump (1) that varies a discharge pressure at which oil is discharged; an oil passage (2) through which the oil discharged from the pump (1) flows; an oil filter (3) and an oil cooler (4) each of which is arranged in the oil passage (2); a bypass passage (5) connected to the oil passage (2) and bypassing the oil cooler (4); and a bypass valve (6) that opens and closes the bypass passage (5) according to a pressure of the oil. The bypass valve (6) is operated to control the flow of the oil through the oil cooler 4 as the discharge pressure of the pump (1) is adjusted according to operating conditions of the internal combustion engine.

A variable displacement pump includes: a pump constituting section; a movable member; a first control hydraulic chamber; a second control hydraulic chamber; a control mechanism arranged to be actuated by receiving a control hydraulic pressure which is the discharge pressure on a downstream side of the discharge portion, through a single control passage formed within the engine, and to control a supply and a discharge of the discharge pressure with respect to the second control hydraulic chamber; and a switching mechanism arranged to switch a connection and a disconnection between the control passage and the control mechanism.

A thermo actuator includes an actuator body and a large-diameter portion (54) that projects from the actuator body outward in the radial direction. The outer diameter of a return spring is smaller than the inner diameter of a case. The outer diameter of the actuator body and the outer diameter of a valve body are smaller than the inner diameter of the return spring. The outer diameter of the large-diameter portion is smaller than the inner diameter of the case and is larger than the average diameter of the return spring. One end of the return spring is in contact with the large-diameter portion.

An adjustable vane pump, in particular an oil pressure pump, with a suction side and a pressure side, with a housing and a rotor supported in the housing so as to be rotatable about a rotor axis. At least one vane is supported for movement in a radial direction. The housing comprises a housing floor and a housing cover transversely to the rotor axis, and an adjustment cage is arranged between the housing floor and the housing cover.

[Problem] To provide a relief device for an oil circuit of an engine provided with an oil pressure relief valve and a temperature-sensitive relief valve, with which it is possible for oil to be relieved (expelled) at the intended pressure regardless of the oil temperature, and with which it is possible to simplify the configuration. [Solution] The relief device comprises an oil pump (9), an upstream channel (61) provided from a discharge side of the oil pump (9) to an engine (E), an oil pressure relief valve (A) for relieving oil due to the valve body being moved by oil pressure, and a temperature-sensitive relief valve (B) for relieving oil by sensing the oil temperature and continuously opening and closing. The oil pressure relief valve (A) and the temperature-sensitive relief valve (B) are arranged in parallel in the upstream channel (61).

A control system for an oil supply mechanism includes an oil pump, a hydraulic pressure sensor, a drive shaft, a pump pulley, a toothed belt, and an output shaft. An electronic control unit included by the control system detects an abnormality of the toothed belt based on a comparison result between an actual value and a theoretical value that are frequencies of pressure pulsations of oil. The actual value is a value calculated based on time fluctuations of a hydraulic pressure detected by the hydraulic pressure sensor. The theoretical value is a value calculated based on a rotational speed of the output shaft and the number of teeth of an inner rotor.

A delivery device for a motor vehicle for delivering oil from an oil sump to a lubricating oil circuit of internal combustion engine has, as an oil pump, a double-stroke vane-type pump with positive guidance of vanes. A direct drive of the vane-type pump by means of the internal combustion engine is configured for an operating point P2. An increased or reduced oil demand is compensated by means of an activatable electric drive. A compact oil pump of very small dimensions may thus be used.

An assembly for rotational equipment includes a stationary structure and a rotating structure. The stationary structure is configured with a first fluid conduit. The rotating structure is configured with a second fluid conduit and a fluid scoop for the second fluid conduit. The second fluid conduit is fluidly coupled with the first fluid conduit through an annular plenum formed by and radially between the stationary structure and the rotating structure. The fluid scoop projects radially into the annular plenum.

The present invention relates to a transportable system for delivering lubricant to a target, more specifically for lubricating machine parts and/or for re-filling a central or a de-central lubricating system. Further, the present invention relates to parts of the transportable system, the parts being a pressure releasing coupling, a gear pump and/or a high pressure pump.

A relief valve structure (20) attached to a pump body (10) includes: a first discharge portion (31) for discharging oil when a discharge pressure is a first predetermined pressure; a second discharge portion (32) for discharging the oil when the discharge pressure reaches a second predetermined pressure higher than the first predetermined pressure; a third discharge portion (33) for discharging the oil when the discharge pressure exceeds the first predetermined pressure and reaches the second predetermined pressure or a pressure lower than the second predetermined pressure; and a pressure relief hole (34) for releasing the oil from an area around a valve spring (23). The second discharge portion, the first discharge portion, the third discharge portion, and the pressure release hole are provided in this order between an introduction portion (29) and a spring retaining member (24) when viewed from the introduction portion (29).
