Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a connector for connecting an engine body and an oil element used in an oil passage system of an automobile engine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, engines used in automobiles use oil that circulates with an oil pump for lubrication, rust prevention, cooling, etc.In order to clean this circulating oil and maintain its quality, a filter is used. An oil element with a function is used. The oil element is generally mounted near the engine to reduce the load on the oil pump and for convenience of maintenance.

Sludge caused by friction of the metal part inside the engine, oil that has deteriorated and solidified due to an increase in engine temperature, etc. adheres to the filter part of this oil element, and the filtering function deteriorates, so running Cleaning and replacement are required depending on the distance.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in recent years, it has become common to equip passenger cars with an air conditioner, and an air compressor for it has to be installed in the engine room, and due to the installation of a turbocharger for other high-speed engine rotation, etc. The inside of the engine room, which has only a limited space, becomes narrower. Therefore, depending on the installation location of the oil element, there are problems such as that cleaning and replacement cannot be performed easily. This problem is especially noticeable in small vehicles such as light vehicles, and four-wheel drive vehicles.

The present invention solves these problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an oil element connector for an automobile engine that facilitates cleaning and replacement of the oil element.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is an oil element connector for an automobile engine for achieving the above object, which has a threaded portion to the oil element mounting portion of the engine and which has an oil outlet and an oil inlet. No. 1 block, a second block having a threaded portion into the oil element and forming an oil inlet and an oil outlet, an oil outlet of the first block and an oil flow of the second block. A flexible and heat- and oil-resistant connecting hose that connects the inlet, and a flexible and heat-resistant connecting hose that connects the oil outlet of the second block and the oil inlet of the first block. It is characterized by consisting of an oil resistant connection hose.

[0007]

[Action]

 After connecting the oil outlet of the first block and the oil inlet of the second block with a hose, and further connecting the oil outlet of the second block and the oil inlet of the first block, Screw the block of No. 2 into the oil element installation port of the engine, and screw the oil element body to the second block to fix.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing the actual use of an oil element connector for an automobile engine, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a first block, FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a second block, and FIG. 4 is a thermostat. It is a perspective view which shows the opened state.

A is a screw 3a for mounting the oil element mounting portion 2 of the engine body 1 on one side, and an oil outlet 3b communicating with the oil outlet 2a of the engine body 1 and an oil for the engine body 1 on the other side. The first block is formed with an oil inlet 3c communicating with the inlet 2b, and is made of aluminum die cast in consideration of heat dissipation and thermal conductivity. Reference numerals 7a and 7b are O-rings (O-rings) attached to the mounting side of the first block A to the engine body 1. B has a screw 4a for attaching to the oil element C on one side, and an oil inlet 4b connected to the oil outlet 3b of the first block A and an oil inlet 3c of the first block A on the other side. The second block is formed with an oil outlet 4c to be connected, and is made of aluminum die-cast in consideration of heat dissipation and thermal conductivity.

The oil outlet 3b of the first block A and the oil inlet 4b of the second block B are connected by a hose 5, and the oil inlet 3c of the first block A and the oil of the second block B are connected. The outlet 4c is connected by a hose 6. Since the high temperature oil circulates when the engine is rotating, the hoses 5 and 6 have heat and oil resistance and are flexible so that they can be bent arbitrarily. The hole 4d formed in the side wall of the second block B is an outlet for a hydraulic pressure gauge and an oil temperature gauge, and is covered with a blind screw when not in use.

Next, the actual use of the oil element connector for an automobile engine having such a configuration will be described. After connecting the first block A and the second block B with the hoses 5 and 6, the first block A is screwed into the oil element mounting portion 2 of the engine body. Next, the oil element C is screwed and fixed to the second block B. When screwing the first and second blocks A and B together, it is desirable to use a heat-resistant and oil-resistant O-ring in order to enhance the airtightness and prevent oil leakage. The oil element assembled and connected as described above is fixed by screwing the second block B to the side wall in the engine room via a bracket or the like.

When the engine is started after being connected and fixed as described above, the oil that has flowed from the oil outlet port 2a on the engine body 1 side through the oil outlet port 3b of the first oil block A by the drive of the oil pump flows through the hose 5. Through the oil inflow port 4b of the second block B into the oil element C, the sludge and other impurities are removed by the filter in the oil element C, and then the oil outflow port 4c flows out. 6 through the oil inlet 3c of the first block A and flows into the engine body. As long as the engine is rotating and the oil pump is operating, the flow of these oils is continuous and the quality of the engine oil is kept constant.

In FIG. 4, a thermostat D is attached in the middle of a flow path system of engine oil from the engine, and its outflow port and inflow port are both connected to an oil cooler.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention having the above configuration has many advantages as follows. First, the oil element can be separated from the engine body via the hose and mounted at a desired location, which is convenient for oil element replacement and cleaning. Secondly, since only the first block side needs to be fitted to the oil element mounting portion of the engine body, various kinds of oil elements can be used without being limited to designated models. The versatility is extremely wide. Thirdly, by attaching a plurality of O-rings 7a and 7b on the side of the first block A which contacts the oil element mounting portion 2 of the engine body 1, not only the oil leakage from the contact surface can be prevented but also the oil can be prevented. Even if the element mounting portion 2 and the block A do not have the same size, they can be used as long as they have the same screw-in portions, and thus can be used for various engines. Fourth, since terminals such as a hydraulic pressure gauge and an oil temperature gauge can be attached to one place of the second block, the oil temperature gauge is taken from the oil pan and the hydraulic pressure gauge is taken from around the oil pump as in the conventional case. There is no restriction on the mounting location like the one like. Fifth, when a thermostat is provided in the oil flowmeter from the engine, an abnormal temperature rise of the engine oil can be detected in advance. By connecting this to an oil cooler, an appropriate oil temperature can be obtained. Therefore, it has excellent effects as an oil element connector for an automobile engine, which contributes to improvement of engine performance and durability.
