Abstract
Abstract An oil pump arrangement for the pressure oil supply for internal combustion engines, especially a gear oil pump, which comprises impeller gears housed in a pump housing. The gears are driven by the internal combustion engine and the pump housing is connected with a suction pipe and a pressure pipe. The pump housing is arranged in an unmachined recess provided at the side of the timing gears in the crankcase. The pump housing is open on the side of the driving means for the impeller gears and is flanged to the timing gear case of the internal combustion engine. The timing gear case forms the closure of the pump housing and the recess, and at least the driving means for the impeller gears is supported in the timing gear case.

An oil pump arrangement for the pressure oil supply for internal combustion engines, which comprises in combination: an internal combustion engine, one side of a portion of which is provided with a rough-cast unmachined recess therewith; a pump housing having an outlet and a center arranged in said recess; impeller gears which are provided in said pump housing and which mesh with one another; driving means operatively connected to said internal combustion engine for driving at least one of said impeller gears, said pump housing being open toward that part of said side portion which faces said driving means; closure means to which said pump housing is connected for closing off the open side of said pump housing and said recess and for providing support for said driving means; a suction pipe connected to and communicating with said pump housing; and a pressure pipe connected to and communicating with said pump housing as well as having a center so that slight variations in the centers between the pump housing outlet and said pressure pipe can be compensated by having the connecting pipe in an oblique position for accurate maintenance of center distances, said recess forming the suction space for said oil pump, said side portion of said internal combustion engine including a bore for providing communication between said suction space and said suction pipe, and said pump housing including an opening for providing communication between said suction space and the interior of said pump housing, a connecting pipe for providing communication between the pressure side of said pump housing and said pressure pipe, said connecting pipe being adapted to assume a skewed position for compensating for slight misalignment of connecting ducts, said driving means comprising a drive wheel connected to one of said impeller gears and said closure means comprising a timing gear case, and further including an idler gear supported by said timing gear case and serving to drive a fuel injection pump or the ignition distributor and the camshaft, said drive wheel meshing with said idler gear.
