Abstract

See full text

An engine lubricating oil supply device (1) according to the present invention is configured such that a connection hole (45) is opened and closed by a ball valve element (53) based on a balance between a biasing force of a shape memory spring (51) which changes in accordance with the temperature of the lubricating oil and a hydraulic pressure of the lubricating oil flowing into a piston chamber (31) such that the lubricating oil flowing into an accommodating space (44) from the connection hole (45) is drained via a second drain oil passage (46), thereby adjusting the degree of opening of a first drain oil passage (34) by causing a piston (35) to slide on the basis of a balance between a biasing force of a valve spring (39) and a pressure differential between an upstream chamber (32) and a downstream chamber (33) which is generated in accordance with a flow of the lubricating oil passing through an orifice (38).
