Oil pan assembly

Abstract

An oil pan assembly for an engine may include: an oil pan mounted at a lower portion of a cylinder block of the engine and formed with a space therein, in which oil can be stored; and a support bracket mounted at one side of the oil pan for coupling with an air conditioner compressor or a transmission. In particular, a protrusion portion is formed at an upper surface of the support bracket and upwardly protruded.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An oil pan assembly for an engine, comprising:
 an oil pan mounted at a lower portion of a cylinder block of the engine and configured to form a space to store oil; and   a support bracket mounted at one side of the oil pan and configured to couple with an air conditioner compressor or a transmission,   wherein a protrusion portion is formed at an upper surface of the support bracket and upwardly protruded.   
     
     
         2 . The oil pan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the oil pan is made of plastic material. 
     
     
         3 . The oil pan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a first flange hole is formed at a lower surface of the oil pan; and   the protrusion portion of the support bracket penetrates the first flange hole to be mounted at the oil pan.   
     
     
         4 . The oil pan assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the support bracket is made of aluminum, magnesium or cast iron material. 
     
     
         5 . The oil pan assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the protrusion portion of the support bracket is formed as a pin type and pressed in the support bracket after processed separately. 
     
     
         6 . The oil pan assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the protrusion portion is integrally formed with the support bracket. 
     
     
         7 . The oil pan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a bush type protrusion portion is formed at the upper surface of the support bracket to be upwardly protruded;   a second flange hole is formed at a lower surface of the oil pan; and   the bush type protrusion portion penetrates the second flange hole so that the support bracket is mounted at the oil pan.   
     
     
         8 . The oil pan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion portion of the support bracket penetrates the oil pan to be inserted into and fixed at a lower portion of the cylinder block.
