  • Patent number: 10946320
    Abstract: An oil separating device for separating an oil mist from a blow-by gas is arranged on a flow passage of the blow-by gas. The oil separating device includes an oil separator having an inlet formed at one end thereof and an outlet formed at another end thereof opposite to the one end; a collision wall arranged at a downstream side of the oil separator, and including an uneven portion formed on a surface thereof to face the outlet of the oil separator; and a filter arranged between the oil separator and collision wall. The oil separator is formed such that the oil mist in the blow-by gas coalesces together to form a coalesced oil mist, the filter removes the coalesced oil mist from the blow-by gas, and the collision wall separates a remained oil mist remained in the blow-by gas through the filter.
