Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engine oil pump technology, and more specifically, to an anti-backflow device for engine oil pumps. Background Technology

[0002] Existing equipment equipped with hydraulic systems typically uses hydraulic systems mainly composed of a servo motor and an oil pump. This type of hydraulic system controls pressure by having the motor rotate in the opposite direction to draw back hydraulic oil, thus reducing pressure. During this process, the oil pump may be passively reversed, potentially exceeding its rated speed, which can easily damage the pump.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an anti-backflow device for engine oil pumps to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the aforementioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an anti-backflow device for an engine oil pump, thereby reducing the backflow impact force, lowering the load on the oil pump, and extending the service life of the oil pump.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: an anti-backflow device for an engine oil pump, including a housing, oil inlet pipes fixedly connected to both sides of the housing, an anti-backflow cavity opened on the inner side of the housing, one end of each oil inlet pipe communicating with the anti-backflow cavity, a connecting flange fixedly installed at the front end of the oil inlet pipe, and an anti-backflow component provided inside the anti-backflow cavity.

[0006] Furthermore, the anti-backflow assembly includes a connecting plate, which is fixedly installed at the connection between the oil inlet pipe and the anti-backflow chamber. A telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed at the front end of the connecting plate, and a piston rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic cylinder. An anti-backflow plug is fixedly connected to the front end of the piston rod, and the anti-backflow plug is slidably connected to the oil inlet pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, telescopic slide rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the piston rod, and the rear end of the telescopic slide rods is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the anti-backflow cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the surface of the connecting plate is provided with oil outlet holes.

[0009] Furthermore, a rubber layer is fixedly installed at the front end of the anti-backflow plug.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the anti-backflow plug moves forward and into the inside of the oil inlet pipe to cut off the oil inlet pipe. At this time, the oil inlet pipe under the housing is in a negative pressure state, so the fuel in the engine oil pump chamber and pipe will not flow back. Since the oil pump is constantly drawing fuel, the oil pump chamber and pipe will always be full of fuel. Thus, after the engine oil pump stops, the oil pump chamber and oil inlet pipe will not draw in air, thereby reducing the backflow impact force, reducing the load on the engine oil pump, and extending the service life of the engine oil pump.

[0015] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0017] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down," generally refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" generally refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this invention.

[0018] like Figure 1-2As shown, this application provides an anti-backflow device for an engine oil pump, including a housing 1, with oil inlet pipes 2 fixedly connected to both sides of the housing 1, an anti-backflow cavity 10 opened on the inner side of the housing 1, one end of each oil inlet pipe 2 communicating with the anti-backflow cavity 10, a connecting flange 3 fixedly installed at the front end of the oil inlet pipe 2, and an anti-backflow component disposed inside the anti-backflow cavity 10.

[0019] The anti-backflow assembly includes a connecting plate 5, which is fixedly installed at the connection between the oil inlet pipe 2 and the anti-backflow chamber 10. A telescopic cylinder 4 is fixedly installed at the front end of the connecting plate 5. A piston rod 6 is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic cylinder 4. An anti-backflow plug 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the piston rod 6. The anti-backflow plug 8 is slidably connected to the oil inlet pipe 2.

[0020] Telescopic slide rods 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the piston rod 6, and the rear end of the telescopic slide rods 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the anti-backflow cavity 10.

[0021] The surface of the connecting plate 5 is provided with oil outlet holes 9. Multiple oil outlet holes 9 are provided on the surface of the connecting plate 5 to slow down the flow rate of fuel during the process of the oil pump drawing fuel.

[0022] A rubber layer 11 is fixedly installed at the front end of the anti-backflow plug 8. When the anti-backflow plug 8 enters the oil inlet pipe 2, the rubber layer 11 increases the friction and improves the sealing performance.

[0023] Specifically, before the engine oil pump stops, the operator activates the telescopic cylinder 4. The telescopic cylinder 4 drives the piston rod 6 at the front end to extend forward. The piston rod 6 extends forward and drives the anti-backflow plug 8 at the front end to move forward. As the piston rod 6 moves forward, the telescopic sliding rods 7 on both sides will extend forward to assist the piston rod 6 in driving the anti-backflow plug 8 to move forward, thereby improving stability.

[0024] The anti-backflow plug 8 moves forward to the inside of the oil inlet pipe 2 to cut off the oil inlet pipe 2. At this time, the oil inlet pipe 2 of the housing 1 is under negative pressure, so the fuel in the engine oil pump chamber and pipe will not flow back. Since the oil pump is constantly drawing fuel, the oil pump chamber and pipe will always be full of fuel. After the engine oil pump stops, the oil pump chamber and oil inlet pipe 2 will not draw in air, eliminating the generation of air bubbles, effectively ensuring the safe operation of the engine, thereby reducing the backflow impact force, reducing the load on the engine oil pump, and extending the service life of the engine oil pump.
