[0003] The existing lubrication system is provided with an oil tank and a scale. An oil inlet pipe is connected between the oil tank and the differential housing of the driving rear axle. By observing that the liquid level of the lubricating oil in the oil tank drops to the appropriate scale value position, it indicates that the required lubricating oil capacity is reached in the differential housing.
[0004] However, the prior art still has shortcomings: when the oil level in the oil tank is observed to drop to a suitable scale value, the oil inlet pipe is closed. The speed at which the oil drops is affected by the size of the oil inlet pipe. If the size of the oil inlet pipe is too large, the oil drops too fast. If the oil inlet pipe is closed after the oil reaches a suitable level, excessive oil will enter the differential housing due to the oil dropping too fast. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the embodiments below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a rear axle lubrication structure for a light truck includes a differential housing 2, which is a component in the rear axle and is used to balance and distribute power to the left and right driving wheels. An oil filling port is provided at the upper end of the differential housing 2, and a sealing cover is provided on the oil filling port.
[0020] An oil storage tank 1 is placed at the upper end of the differential housing 2. The interior of the oil storage tank 1 is hollow and stores lubricating oil. The lower end of the oil storage tank 1 is connected to an oil outlet pipe 6, and the size of the oil outlet pipe 6 is adapted to the oil filling port. The upper end of the oil storage tank 1 is connected to a filling pipe 4, through which lubricating oil can be added to the oil storage tank 1.
[0021] A scale 5 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the differential housing 2 . The outer shell of the differential housing 2 is transparent. Through the transparent outer shell of the differential housing 2 and the scale 5 , the staff can conveniently observe the liquid level of the lubricating oil inside the differential housing 2 .
[0022] A plug 12 is provided inside the oil outlet pipe 6. The size of the plug 12 is adapted to the oil outlet pipe 6. The oil outlet pipe 6 is a circular pipe. The top cross-section of the plug 12 is also circular. The upper end face of the plug 12 is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 7. The rotating shaft 7 passes through the upper end of the oil storage tank 1 and extends to the outside of the oil storage tank 1. The top of the rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected with a handle 8, and the rotating shaft 7 is conveniently rotated by the handle 8. The upper end face of the oil storage tank 1 is symmetrically fixedly connected with connecting rods 10. The tops of the two connecting rods 10 are commonly fixedly connected with nuts 9. A threaded portion is provided on the rotating shaft 7, and the threaded portion of the rotating shaft 7 is threadedly connected to the nut 9.
[0023] When it is necessary to add lubricating oil to the differential housing 2, open the sealing cover of the oil filling port, connect the oil outlet pipe 6 with the oil filling port of the differential housing 2, and place the oil storage tank 1 on the upper end surface of the differential housing 2. Turn the handle 8, and the handle 8 drives the rotating shaft 7 and the plug 12 to rotate, so that the plug 12 moves upward and separates from the oil outlet pipe 6, and the lubricating oil enters the interior of the differential housing 2 from the oil outlet pipe 6. The staff observes the reduction in the amount of lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 1 through the scale 5.
[0024] The plug 12 is provided with a through socket, in which a plug rod 11 is arranged. The plug rod 11 matches the size of the socket, and the end of the plug rod 11 away from the plug 12 passes through the upper end of the oil storage tank 1 and extends to the outside of the oil storage tank 1.
[0025] When it is observed that the lubricating oil level in the oil storage tank 1 is about to drop to the required scale value, the handle 8 is turned, and the handle 8 drives the rotating shaft 7 and the plug 12 to rotate downward, so that the plug 12 enters the oil outlet pipe 6. At this time, the lubricating oil cannot continue to flow into the differential housing 2, and the plug rod 11 is pulled upward to make the plug rod 11 disengage from the insertion hole, and the lubricating oil continues to flow into the differential housing 2 through the insertion hole until the lubricating oil level in the oil storage tank 1 drops to the required scale value. The plug rod 11 is pushed downward to make the plug rod 11 re-enter the insertion hole, so that the lubricating oil cannot flow into the differential housing 2.
[0026] A filter screen 13 is installed inside the oil outlet pipe 6 and near the lower end. The filter screen 13 is used to filter impurities in the lubricating oil.
[0027] An oil drain plug 3 is provided at the bottom of the differential housing 2 , and a wrench can be used to loosen the oil drain plug 3 so that the lubricating oil can flow out from the bottom of the differential housing 2 .
[0028] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of application of the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
