Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine oil dipsticks, and more specifically, to a novel engine oil dipstick assembly. Background Art

[0002] The function of the oil dipstick is not only to check the level of the engine lubricating oil. An experienced driver or repairman can find out a lot about the working dynamics of the engine by checking the oil dipstick. Thus, the engine can be maintained, the cause of the fault or accident can be found in time, and the fault can be prevented from further deteriorating.

[0003] The bottom of a traditional oil dipstick pull ring is usually designed as a piston structure to seal the engine oil tank opening. However, since the oil dipstick is repeatedly pulled out and used, when it comes into contact with the edge of the tank opening, the oil will be thrown onto the inner wall of the tank opening due to inertia, which can easily cause leakage at the piston connection.

[0004] The utility model of Chinese patent application number CN202322250145.4 discloses an automobile engine oil dipstick assembly, including an oil dipstick and an installation kit. The bottom of the oil dipstick is an integrated structure with an oil dipstick scale mark fixed thereon. The installation kit includes a sealing sleeve, a threaded connector arranged inside the sealing sleeve, and a protective cylinder located on one side of the inner wall of the threaded connector. The interior of the installation kit is also provided with a combined groove for providing lateral movement of the oil dipstick. The installation kit composed of a sealing cover, a threaded connector and a protective cylinder can seal and protect the outside of the engine oil tank port. The sealing sleeve extends to the inner wall of the oil tank port to prevent external dust from entering the engine. At the same time, it has a good sealing effect to prevent oil leakage. Positioning holes, movable holes and slideways are provided in the installation kit to provide a movable space for the oil dipstick. The protective cylinder is connected to the sealing sleeve through a threaded connector, which is convenient for disassembly to clean the interior. The structure is ingenious.

[0005] Then, combined with the drawings in the instruction manual, it can be seen that the oil dripping from the drawn scale mark is collected by a collecting cylinder. After the collection is completed, the collecting cylinder needs to be manually tilted to pour the oil inside the collecting cylinder into the oil tank, which is inconvenient and may cause the oil to not completely enter the oil tank during the pouring process, resulting in waste. It is inconvenient to recover the oil for reuse, which affects the use effect. Utility Model Content

[0044] When the rotating block 6 is separated from the mounting plug 3, the second spring 23 pushes the limiting plate 21, so that the top end of the insertion rod 20 extends out from the inside of the limiting column 9, and the first spring 18 pushes the limiting block 17, so that the stabilizing rod 15 can be controlled to drive the sealing plug 16 to insert into the inside of the opening 14 to seal the bottom of the collecting tube 11, so as to facilitate collection;

[0045] When the oil dipstick 1 drives one end of the scale mark 2 to be inserted into the oil tank, and is inserted into the oil tank through the bottom end of the collecting tube 11, the rotating block 6 is rotated to control the threaded ring 5 to be inserted into the inside of the mounting plug 3 and fixed, and at the same time, the insertion rod 20 drives the second limit plate 24 to move downward in turn, and the traction bar 19 is pulled. At this time, the limit block 17 can drive the stabilizing bar 15 to move upward, so that the sealing plug 16 is separated from the limit block 17, so that the oil inside the collecting tube 11 can be dripped into the oil tank, which is convenient for recycling and use, and improves the use effect.
