This breather apparatus has a rotation separator that is fastened to a camshaft, and that rotation separator has a base plate section and a plurality of protruding plates that extend from the base plate section. Moreover, a separator housing is provided in the cylinder head, and comprises an air intake on one end, and an exhaust outlet on the other end. Furthermore, a reed valve that opens and closes by the change in pressure inside a cam chamber is provided in the air intake. Blowby gas that is guided to the cam chamber hits against the protruding plates when passing in the radial direction of the rotation separator, and oil mist is captured by those protruding plates. Continuing, the blowby gas is guided from the cam chamber into the separator housing via the reed valve. When passing through the reed valve, the flow rate of the blowby gas changes, so oil mist is effectively captured by the inner wall surface of the separator housing.

Breather apparatus for engine

A breather apparatus of a crankcase, in which lubricating oil is circulated with economy of space and efficiently, is provided. An opening is formed in the top of a vertical wall of a case body, and a breather hole is formed in the top of an outer circumferential wall of the case body. A lubricating-oil return port is formed in the bottom of the vertical wall of the case body, and a breather path communicating with the opening and the lubricating-oil return port is provided between the case body and a power-generator case used as a wall body attached thereto, and an air-breather path branching from the breather path and communicating with the breather hole is provided in the case body. When an oil-component mixed gas flowing through the opening to the outside of the case body hits an inner surface of the breather path, an oil component of the oil-component mixed gas is liquefied and flows into the lubricating-oil return port.

Breather apparatus of crankcase

An oil cooling system of an air-cooled engine for cooling the oil reserved in a crankcase of the engine comprises a base plate assembled to the crankcase, an overlapping plate assembled to the base plate; an oil filter supported in the overlapping plate; and radiation fins formed on the base plate and the overlapping plate, wherein the base plate includes an inlet port for receiving the engine oil discharged from an oil pump of the engine, an outlet groove for outputting the engine oil and a first passage groove connecting the inlet port and the outlet groove, the overlapping plate includes an inlet groove opposed to the inlet port, an outlet port opposed to the outlet groove and a second passage groove opposed to the first passage groove to form an oil passage together with the first passage groove, and the base plate and the overlapping plate having through-holes where the filter outlet of the oil filter passes through for the connection with the crankcase.

Oil cooling system of an air-cooled engine

The power transmission system of an engine is mounted on the all-terrain vehicle and has a crankshaft driven by the engine and the crankshaft is arranged in a direction of width of a vehicle body. A sub-shaft is arranged parallel to the crankshaft and the rotation of the crankshaft is transmitted to the sub-shaft via gears. A primary shaft is concentrically mounted on the sub-shaft and is provided with a primary pulley having a variable groove width. A secondary pulley coupled to the primary pulley via a V-belt and having a variable groove width. The rotation of the crankshaft is transmitted to the primary shaft via the sub-shaft arranged parallel to the crankshaft.
