Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of fluid level measuring devices, and more particularly to a device for measuring the liquid level of a vehicle, and for example a motor vehicle.
- liquid level measuring systems such as for example the oil level measuring probes.
- These devices are conventionally formed by a connector, interface means, for example with a reservoir, and a portion called dip tube which will be in contact with the liquid whose level is to be measured.
- the interface means comprise a threaded portion and a gripping portion for screwing the nut-type device, and are made of metal.
- the present invention therefore aims to overcome one or more of the disadvantages of the devices of the prior art by providing a liquid level measurement device lighter than those of the prior art and less expensive.
- the present invention provides a liquid level measuring device having a threaded portion for fastening by screwing the device on a support, and a gripping element, for screwing the device, anchored on a knurled element, the part threaded and knurled element being metal and overmolded, and the gripping member being plastic.
- the use of a plastic gripping element 3 allows a mass gain of between 15 and 50% compared with the use of a metal gripping element.
- the knurling of the zone in contact with the gripping element 3 for screwing the device consists in increasing the contact surface and producing a greater resistance to torsion than when there is no knurling.
- the threaded portion and the knurled element form a single piece.
- the gripping element comprises at least three faces.
- the gripping element has hexagonal faces.
- the knurled element comprises at least one knurling stage.
- the knurled element comprises two knurling stages.
- the invention also relates to interface means for a liquid level measuring device according to the invention, comprising a threaded part allowing the device to be fixed by screwing on a support, and a gripping element, for screwing the device, anchored on a knurled element, the threaded portion and the knurled element being made of metal and overmoulded, and the gripping element being plastic.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing a device according to the invention, comprising a step in which the threaded portion and the gripping element are overmolded.
- the invention also relates to the use of the liquid level measuring device according to the invention for measuring the oil level in a crankcase.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a perspective view of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a perspective view of a device according to the invention, the internal parts being viewable by transparency.
- the present invention relates to a liquid level measuring device.
- the operation of such a probe is such that, for example, that of the probe described in the patent application FR2950968.
- the liquid is oil.
- the level measuring device is an oil level sensor for a motor vehicle.
- the liquid level measuring device 1 is formed by a plug 6 for a connector, interface means 10 and a dip tube 4.
- dip tube 4 is meant the part that will be immersed in the liquid whose level is measured. Inside this dip tube 4 is disposed a not shown sensitive element.
- interface 10 means that are in contact with elements that do not belong to the device itself. More specifically, the interface means 10, illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, comprise a threaded portion 2 and a gripping element 3 for screwing the device, in which is disposed a plug 6 of a connector.
- the threaded portion 2 allows the assembly of the device 1 on a support not shown.
- This support is for example a wall of a crankcase.
- the gripping element 3 serves to protect the plug 6 of the connector and also serves as holding means when the device is screwed onto a support.
- This gripping element 3 serves for example as an interface with a screwdriver.
- This gripping element 3 is made of plastic.
- the gripping element 3 in the form of a nut and comprises at least three panels 31.
- the gripping element 3 has six panels 31.
- the gripping member 3 is anchored to a knurled element 5 also known as knurling, shown in FIG. 2.
- the connector plug 6 passes through the knurled element 5 and the gripping element 2, and is molded therewith.
- This knurled element 5 comprises at least one knurling stage.
- this knurled element 5 comprises two knurling stages illustrated in FIG.
- Knurling means the grooves formed on an element in the longitudinal direction.
- a stage corresponds to a series of grooves.
- Two floors correspond to two sets of grooves. It is these grooves that allow anchoring of the gripping element 3.
- the knurling of the zone in contact with the gripping element 3 for screwing the device consists in increasing the contact surface and producing a greater resistance to torsion than when there is no knurling.
- the number of knurling stages is a function of the height of the desired gripping element 3, and the distance between the threaded zone 2 and the desired gripping element 3.
- the threaded portion 2 and the knurled element 5 are made of metal and are overmolded on the dip tube 4 and the plug 6 of the connector.
- the threaded portion 2 and the knurled element are identical to one embodiment of the invention.
- This overmoulded part allows the use of a plastic gripping element 3, unlike the devices of the prior art where the gripping element is made of metal.
- a plastic gripping element 3 allows a mass gain of between 15 and 50%, and preferably at least 30% relative to the use of a metal gripper.
- Such a device according to the invention also makes it possible to reduce the cost of the metal part because the machining is done on a metal rod of smaller size, while maintaining the robustness to the tightening torque thanks to the knurled element 5.
- the device 1 also comprises an elongate and smooth portion, not shown, disposed between the threaded portion and the gripping element. This part serves to prevent the direct contact of the gripping element with the support on which the device is screwed.
