Hello Minh Thanh,
I can't give you the English term right now. It's an oil pump with multiple connections. It's driven. A central oiler.
CI:
The oiler design is interesting in that it drips upwards, apparently through liquid that does not mix with oil (water ?).
I have seen the "drip upwards through water" oilers on steam engines, but was not aware that they were used on IC engines.
I am not positive how that oiler gets the oil up and over to the various places after it drips upwards.
Here is a steam engine lubricator, which drips upwards through water in a sight glass.
The rate of oil flow can be seen throught the window in the form of the speed of dripping.
And a positive oil flow can be verified to each area that needs oiling by observing the dripping through the windows.
If one of the oil pumps stopped working, you would not necessarily be aware of no oil flow without having the windows for visual verification.

I'm not familiar with this version with the sight glass and rising oil drops for diesel engines. I've often seen oil pumps that produce a single drop of oil; this amount can be adjusted separately, and these drops are then transported under pressure to the lubrication point by a second piston in the pump.

Hi Michael S !
Actually I don't intend to build like that , everything is too small to be made to the same detail,.
I just want to do similar to the link you shared.
Update :
---I wish.....someone would design this engine for me...----
