LUBRICATING APPARATUS FOR A DOSING SYSTEM FOR CYLINDER LUBRICATING OIL AND METHOD FOR DOSING CYLINDER LUBRICATING OIL

摘要

There is disclosed a lubricating apparatus for diesel engine cylinders. The lubricating apparatus includes: - supply line and a return line, a central hydraulic oil supply pump, a number of injection units, each connected with each their dosing unit, and a supply line for cylinder lubricating oil. In order to provide the cylinder lubrication with a flexible electronically controlled, central stepless dosing as well as precise timing, the hydraulic lubricating apparatus includes: - a setting unit with a setting means engaging the dosing unit, a controllable actuator/motor (23) engaging the setting means; a cylinder block with a number of dosing units, each including a dosing piston in a pumping chamber, and a hydraulic slide interacting with the setting means and the pumping piston and extending largely coaxially with the pumping chamber, a monitoring sensor associated with each dosing unit for ensuring stroke/dosing of the amount of cylinder lubricating oil, and a central computer for controlling the motor (23) and the valves (20, 24) for connecting and disconnecting a system pressure on the hydraulic slide at each lubricating point of time.
