Abstract: The present invention provides an engine lubrication control system including an engine, an oil pump which is driven by the engine, an oil circuit which extends downstream from the oil pump, and a plurality of oil branch supply paths which branch from the oil circuit and supply oil to each part of the engine. An electronically-controlled first hydraulic control valve which controls, in a stepwise manner, a discharge pressure of the oil pump relative to a speed of the engine is disposed on the oil circuit, a hydraulically-driven second hydraulic control valve is disposed on at least one of the plurality of oil branch supply paths, and a downstream hydraulic pressure of the second hydraulic control valve is controlled to be lower than a downstream hydraulic pressure of the first hydraulic control valve of the oil circuit at least across a predetermined engine speed range.

Abstract: A control valve have a main channel, a channel cross section adjustment spool, a downstream side branching channel, a communication channel, a channel open and close spool, a channel open and close valve, and a upstream side branching channel. In a low rotation speed region of an engine, the channel open and close valve blocks the communication channel. In a medium rotation speed region, the channel open and close spool allows the communication between the downstream side branching channel and the communication channel, and the channel open and close valve allows the communication channel to communicate to slide and move the channel cross section adjustment spool in a direction. In a high rotation speed region, the channel open and close spool blocks the communication between the downstream side branching channel.

Abstract: A control valve have a main flow passage; a flow passage sectional area adjustment spool; a downstream side branch flow passage; a communicating flow passage; a flow passage opening/closing valve; a flow passage opening/closing spool; and an upstream side branch flow passage. The flow passage opening/closing valve cuts off the downstream side branch flow passage from the communicating flow passage in a low rotation region of an engine. In a medium rotation region, the flow passage opening/closing valve connects the downstream side branch flow passage to the communicating flow passage and the flow passage opening/closing spool allows the communicating flow passage to communicate. In a high rotation region, the flow passage opening/closing spool blocks the communicating flow passage.

Abstract: An oil pump unit with a variable flow rate includes lubrication pumps and a control pump that are driven by rotation of a crankshaft of an engine, and changes an oil supply amount from the control pump to each part of the engine, in which the control pump includes a plurality of oil pumps that have different discharge rates.

Abstract: The engine with a variable flow rate oil pump includes a subsidiary relief passage that extends from an oil passage-switching valve to a subsidiary oil pump, a main relief passage that extends from the oil passage-switching valve to the main oil pump separately from the subsidiary relief passage, and a check valve that is provided in the subsidiary discharge passage and cuts off the flow of oil from the main discharge passage side to the oil passage-switching valve side. The oil passage-switching valve has a main pressure-adjusting chamber for the main oil pump, a subsidiary pressure-adjusting chamber of for the subsidiary oil pump, and a spool valve that performs partitioning between the main pressure-adjusting chamber and the subsidiary pressure-adjusting chamber.

Abstract: The invention has: a housing; a pump section formed of a drive gear unit and a driven gear unit; a main flow channel through which oil pressure is applied to the driven gear unit in a discharge volume reduction direction; a first branching flow channel through which oil pressure that assists oil pressure from the main flow channel is applied; a second branching flow channel through which oil pressure is applied to the driven gear unit in a discharge increase direction; a first flow channel control section; a second flow channel control section; and a spring that elastically urges the driven gear unit in a discharge increase direction. The first flow channel control section and the second flow channel control section can perform switching control in accordance with each increase or decrease of engine revolutions and in pressure.

Abstract: The invention allows securing greater discharge pressure and flow rate at high revolutions of an engine in order to secure lubrication and cooling, while reducing discharge pressure and flow rate at low and medium revolutions of the engine in order to improve efficiency. The invention includes a housing; a relief valve; a valve passage; a main discharge flow channel; a main relief flow channel; an auxiliary relief flow channel; a solenoid valve mounted on the auxiliary relief flow channel; and a spring. The solenoid valve is controlled so as to switch between communication and shut-off between the auxiliary relief flow channel and the large-diameter passage section in accordance with an increase or decrease in engine revolutions, and oil in the large-diameter passage section is discharged when the shut-off is implemented.
