    摘要: An oil pan includes an oil reservoir and a pair of side walls facing the reservoir. A bulge is formed in each side wall. Each bulge defines an oil sub chamber connected to the oil reservoir. The bulges are formed integrally with the side walls by deforming the side walls outward. In other words, the bulges are not fastened to the side wall but are part of it. The oil pan is therefore easily and inexpensively formed by pressing. Further, since there is no joint between each bulge and the side wall, the oil pan has improved strength and durability.

    摘要翻译: 油盘包括油储存器和面向储存器的一对侧壁。 在每个侧壁上形成凸起。 每个凸起限定了连接到储油器的油分室。 通过使侧壁向外变形,凸起与侧壁一体地形成。 换句话说,凸起不固定在侧壁上,而是它的一部分。 因此油盘通过压制容易且廉价地形成。 此外,由于在每个凸起和侧壁之间没有接合,所以油盘具有改善的强度和耐久性。
