[0002] The steering oil tank is a normal pressure container, and a vent must be set to keep it unobstructed to ensure that the internal pressure of the steering oil tank does not change with the changes in the liquid level and oil temperature during the operation of the automobile steering system. For example, the patent document with application number CN201120347363.4 discloses an oil tank cover with a certain gap between the top of the relatively thick top and the refueling port, that is, a hidden vent is formed between the oil tank cover and the refueling port, thereby ensuring air circulation between the oil tank and the outside.
[0003] However, in similar schemes as mentioned above, when the motor pumps oil in and out, oil vapor is discharged outside through the vent line, resulting in gasoline waste and oil stains near the oil tank, thereby contaminating the tank body. In addition, when the user forgets to unscrew the vent hole, continued use will increase the internal pressure, resulting in inward compression of the tank body, causing the oil tank to deform, thereby causing losses.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the existing structural deficiencies are studied and improved, and an oil tank cover with a vent structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an oil tank cover with a vent structure, comprising an outer shell, an automatic vent assembly and an oil-gas separation assembly, the inner side of the outer shell is threadedly connected with a bottle mouth, and the automatic vent assembly is located on the inner side of the bottle mouth, and the automatic vent assembly comprises a support spring, a support plate, a baffle, a sealing cover and a vent, the support spring is arranged directly below the outer shell, the lower end of the support spring is fixed with the support plate, the upper end of the support spring is fixed with the baffle, the upper end of the baffle is fixed with the sealing cover, and the side wall of the sealing cover is equidistantly provided with a plurality of groups of the vents, the oil-gas separation assembly is located on the outer side of the sealing cover, and the oil-gas separation assembly comprises a reflux chamber, an air outlet, an oil hole and a foam ball, the inner side of the outer shell is penetrated with the air outlet, the reflux chamber is fixed below the air outlet, the bottom of the reflux chamber is fixed with the oil hole, and the upper end of the oil hole is provided with a foam ball.
[0007] Furthermore, a retaining ring is fixed to the lower end surface of the shell, and a sealing ring is attached below the retaining ring.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer side of the automatic ventilation component is threadedly connected to an inner cover, and a stopper is fixed to the inner upper end of the inner cover.
[0009] Furthermore, the support plate and the inner cover are fixedly connected, and the baffle plate and the inner cover are slidably connected, and both the support plate and the baffle plate are in annular shape.
[0010] Furthermore, a convex thread is arranged on the outer side of the inner cover, and the inner cover, the outer shell and the bottle mouth are all connected by threads to form a disassembly structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the automatic ventilation component forms a communication structure with the reflux chamber through a ventilation hole, and the diameter of the foam ball is larger than the diameter of the oil hole.
[0012] The utility model provides an oil tank cover with a vent structure, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] It can achieve that the oil and gas can be concentrated on the oil tank cover after evaporation and flow back into the oil tank, thereby reducing the pollution of the oil and gas to the surrounding of the power steering oil tank. When the user forgets to unscrew the vent hole, the vent hole can be automatically opened to make the air pressure inside and outside the tank consistent, thereby avoiding the formation of pressure difference, preventing the oil tank from deforming and avoiding losses. The specific contents are as follows:
[0014] When the operator forgets to open the vent, a pressure difference is formed inside and outside the oil tank, compressing the spring downward, thereby driving the sealing cover to slide downward, causing the oil vapor to move upward and pass through the vent into the reflux chamber. The oil vapor contacts the inner cover due to the temperature difference, resulting in the separation of oil and gas in the oil vapor, causing the gas to be discharged through the vent, while the gasoline flows into the oil tank through the oil hole along the reflux chamber, thereby avoiding gasoline contamination of the surrounding area of the tank.

[0020] The following is a further detailed description of the implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an oil tank cover with a vent structure includes a shell 1, an automatic vent assembly 3 and an oil-gas separation assembly 5, and the automatic vent assembly 3 is located on the inner side of the bottle mouth 6, and the automatic vent assembly 3 includes a support spring 301, a support plate 302, a baffle 303, a sealing cover 304 and a vent 305, a support spring 301 is arranged directly below the shell 1, and a support plate 302 is fixed to the lower end of the support spring 301, because the support plate 302 and the inner cover 4 are fixedly connected, it is used to improve the stability of the inner cover 4 and prevent it from being deformed under pressure, and a baffle 303 is fixed to the upper end of the support spring 301, and the baffle 303 and the inner cover 4 are slidably connected, and the support plate 302 and the baffle 303 are both annular, which is convenient for the oil tank and the sealing cover 304 to be fixedly connected. A connecting structure is formed between them, the outer side of the automatic ventilation component 3 is threadedly connected to the inner cover 4, and a block 41 is fixed to the inner upper end of the inner cover 4, and the baffle 303 is clamped by the block 41 to fix the position of the sealing cover 304, because the automatic ventilation component 3 forms a connecting structure with the reflux chamber 501 through the vent hole 305, so that the oil vapor can flow out of the oil and gas tank upward, which is beneficial for the oil vapor to leave the tank body, and the upper end of the baffle 303 is fixed with a sealing cover 304, and the side wall of the sealing cover 304 is equidistantly provided with a number of groups of ventilation holes 305, which can avoid the blockage of the ventilation holes and increase the smoothness of the flow of oil vapor. When the user forgets to unscrew the ventilation holes, the ventilation holes can be automatically opened to make the air pressure inside and outside the tank body consistent, thereby avoiding the formation of pressure difference, preventing the oil tank from deformation, and avoiding losses.
[0022] The oil-gas separation component 5 is located on the outside of the sealing cover 304. The oil-gas separation component 5 includes a reflux chamber 501, an air outlet 502, an oil hole 503 and a foam ball 504. The air outlet 502 is provided on the inner side of the shell 1, and the reflux chamber 501 is fixed below the air outlet 502. When the oil vapor passes through the reflux chamber 501, the oil vapor condenses when it is cold, thereby decomposing the oil vapor into gasoline and air, thereby avoiding the oil and gas from polluting the surrounding of the power steering oil tank body. A retaining ring 11 is fixed on the lower end surface of the shell 1, and a sealing ring 2 is attached below the retaining ring 11.

At this time, the upper and lower ends of the sealing ring 2 are tightly fitted with the baffle 11 and the upper end of the bottle mouth 6, and the upper end of the inner cover 4 is tightly fitted with the lower end surface of the outer shell 1. If the operator forgets to press the sealing cover 304, the oil tank is sealed inside the inner structure. When the car turns, the pressure inside the oil tank increases, so that a pressure difference is formed inside and outside the oil tank, thereby making the sealing A downward force is formed at the cover 304, and the support spring 301 is compressed, thereby driving the baffle 303 and the sealing cover 304 to slide downward until the baffle 303 is engaged with the block 41. At this time, the vent hole 305 and the reflux chamber 501 form a connecting structure, and the oil vapor passes upward through the vent hole 305 into the reflux chamber 501, and the oil vapor moves in the reflux chamber 501 and contacts with the inner cover 4. When it is cooled, the oil and gas in the oil vapor are separated, so that the clean gas is discharged through the air outlet 502, and the condensed gasoline flows to the bottom of the reflux chamber 501, lifts the foam ball 504, and then flows into the oil tank from the oil hole 503, thereby avoiding gasoline contamination of the surrounding area of the tank.
