Geared Turbocharged Engine
A geared turbocharged engine, having a gearbox, a drive and output assembly, and an oil supply system. The gearbox has a housing. The oil supply system has a reservoir, a supply line, an oil pump to convey oil from the reservoir, and a return line, to return oil from the gearbox to the reservoir. The housing is mounted on a support plate of reservoir a supply-line opening and a return-line opening are introduced into the housing and the support plate such that the supply-line opening of the support plate and the supply-line opening of the housing and the return-line opening of the gearbox and the return-line opening of the support plate are flush, so that the inflow of oil to the gearbox and the return flow of oil from the gearbox take place via the gearbox housing.
1 . A geared turbocharged engine, comprising: at least one drive and output assembly;
a gearbox comprising:
a gearbox housing;
a central gear wheel with a gear-wheel shaft; and
at least one pinion, with at least one pinion shaft, meshing into the central gear wheel; and
an oil supply system comprising:
a support plate;
an oil storage reservoir in which oil is held;
an oil supply line by which oil can be drawn from the oil storage reservoir and guided toward the gearbox to be lubricated;
an oil pump configured to convey the oil out of the oil storage reservoir, and
an oil return line by which oil emanating from the gearbox flows back into the oil storage reservoir;
wherein:
the gearbox housing is mounted standing on the support plate by a gearbox housing base;
a supply-line opening and a return-line opening are introduced into each of the gearbox housing base and the support plate such that the supply-line opening of the support plate and the supply-line opening of the gearbox housing base are flush and the return-line opening of the gearbox housing base and the return-line opening of the support plate,
whereby inflow of the oil to the gearbox and return flow of the oil from the gearbox take place via the gearbox housing base.
2 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 1 , wherein the gearbox housing base and the support plate are sealed with respect to each other at least in a region of the supply-line openings by a seal element.
3 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 2 , wherein a groove is introduced into the support plate surrounding the supply-line opening, into which groove a seal element configured as an O-ring is inserted.
4 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 2 , wherein the seal element is a flat seal.
5 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 2 , wherein the seal element is a cured sealing gel.
6 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 2 , wherein the gearbox housing base and the support plate are sealed with respect to each other in a region of the return-line openings by a seal element.
7 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 6 , wherein a groove is introduced into the support plate surrounding the return-line opening, into which groove a seal element configured as an O-ring is inserted.
8 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 6 , wherein the seal element is a flat seal.
9 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 6 , wherein the seal element is a cured sealing gel.
10 . The geared turbocharged engine according to claim 1 , further comprising a supply-side oil throttle integrated into the gearbox housing.
