[0035] The utility model provides a power steering oil pot assembly.

[0036] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The utility model is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a power steering oil pot assembly provided by the utility model.

[0037] In one embodiment of the utility model, the power steering oil tank assembly includes:

[0038] The oil pot 200 is provided with a liquid storage space and a liquid discharge port communicated with the liquid storage space; and

[0039] The adsorption member 100 has one end disposed at the liquid discharge port, and the other end of the adsorption member 100 extends into the liquid storage space to adsorb wear debris.

[0040] The power steering oil pot assembly in the technical solution of the utility model comprises an oil pot 200 and an adsorbent 100, one end of the adsorbent 100 is arranged at the drain port, and the other end of the adsorbent 100 extends into the liquid storage space of the oil pot 200, so as to adsorb the wear debris in the power steering oil, thereby reducing the amount of wear debris in the power steering oil in the oil pot 200 and avoiding a large amount of wear debris from being mixed in the power steering oil. When the power steering oil circulates again, the amount of wear debris entering the power steering system is reduced, thereby reducing the wear of the steering gear and the power steering oil pump, and further extending the service life of the power steering system.

[0041] The adsorbing member 100 can realize the function of adsorbing wear debris by various methods such as electrostatic adsorption and magnetic adsorption. The drain port can be arranged at the bottom of the side wall of the oil pot 200, or can be arranged on the bottom wall of the oil pot 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drain port is arranged on the bottom wall of the oil pot 200.

[0042] In this embodiment, a filter is provided at the oil outlet of the oil pot 200. When the power steering oil passes through the filter, the amount of debris mixed in the power steering oil is reduced, thereby reducing the impact of the debris on the filter, ensuring the filtering effect of the filter, and helping to reduce impurities in the power steering oil, thereby reducing the wear of the steering gear and the power steering oil pump, and further extending the service life of the power steering system.

[0043] In one embodiment, the adsorbent 100 is magnetic, and one end of the adsorbent 100 is detachably disposed at the drain port to open or seal the drain port, and the other end of the adsorbent 100 extends into the liquid storage space to adsorb ferromagnetic wear debris.

[0044] In the embodiment of the utility model, wear debris is generally generated during the operation of parts in the power steering system, so most of the wear debris is ferromagnetic metal materials. The adsorbent 100 includes a magnetic adsorbent 100, which adsorbs ferromagnetic wear debris by magnetic adsorption. The structure is simple, easy to implement, and the manufacturing cost is low. On the other hand, the adsorbent 100 is detachably connected to the drain port, so that the adsorbent 100 can be used as a plug to open and close the drain port. When the adsorbent 100 is removed from the drain port to replace the power steering oil, the wear debris adsorbed on the adsorbent 100 can be cleaned at the same time, simplifying the maintenance steps of the vehicle. Among them, the adsorbent 100 can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. Specifically in this embodiment, the adsorbent 100 is a permanent magnet, with a small number of parts, a simple structure, and a low cost.

[0045] In one embodiment, the adsorption member 100 includes:

[0046] an adsorption portion 110; and

[0047] The sealing part 120 and the adsorption part 110 are disposed at one end of the sealing part 120 . The sealing part 120 and the liquid discharge port are detachably connected so that the adsorption part 110 extends into the liquid storage space.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 In the embodiment of the utility model, the adsorbent 100 includes an adsorbent portion 110 and a sealing portion 120. When the sealing portion 120 seals the drain port, the adsorbent portion 110 extends into the liquid storage space, so that the wear debris in the power steering oil can be adsorbed on the adsorbent portion 110; when the sealing portion 120 is separated from the drain port, the adsorbent portion 110 can be moved out of the liquid storage space, which is convenient for cleaning the adsorbed wear debris. The structure of the entire adsorbent 100 is relatively simple, easy to manufacture, and low in manufacturing cost; on the other hand, the two functions of sealing the drain port and adsorbing wear debris are realized by different parts, which prevents the adsorbed wear debris from affecting the sealing of the drain port.

[0049] In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the adsorption portion 110 is smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing portion 120 .

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment of the utility model, since the sealing part 120 needs to seal the drain port, the inner diameter of the drain port and the outer diameter of the sealing part 120 are set to correspond to each other. Setting the outer diameter of the adsorption part 110 to be smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing part 120 will make it easy for the adsorption part 110 to be inserted into the drain port, which is convenient for the assembly of the adsorption part 100 and the drain port. On the other hand, after the adsorption part 110 adsorbs the wear debris, the wear debris will accumulate on the outer surface of the adsorption part 110. Setting the outer diameter of the adsorption part 110 to be smaller avoids the size of the adsorption part 110 being too large after the wear debris accumulates. When the adsorption part 100 is removed, it is convenient to remove the adsorption part 110 with the wear debris adsorbed from the drain port, reducing the possibility of the wear debris on the adsorption part 110 contacting the drain port during the removal process, thereby avoiding the wear debris remaining on the periphery of the drain port, which is convenient for cleaning the wear debris and avoids the wear debris affecting the sealing of the drain port during reassembly.

[0051] In one embodiment, the adsorption portion 110 is provided with a receiving hole 111 , and the receiving hole 111 is used to receive the wear debris.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 In an embodiment of the utility model, the adsorption portion 110 is provided with a receiving hole 111, and the wear debris can be adsorbed in the receiving hole 111, thereby increasing the adsorption amount of the adsorption member 100 on the wear debris and reducing the cleaning times of the adsorption member 100; on the other hand, after the receiving hole 111 is provided, the surface area of ​​the adsorption portion 110 is increased, and the contact area between the adsorption portion 110 and the power steering oil becomes larger, thereby increasing the adsorption effect of the adsorption portion 110 on the wear debris; on another hand, during the operation of the power steering system, the power steering oil is continuously circulated, and there is a certain possibility that the wear debris adsorbed on the adsorption portion 110 will be taken away again, while the wear debris adsorbed in the receiving hole 111 is not easily taken away by the flowing power steering oil, thereby improving the adsorption and collection effect of the adsorption member 100 on the wear debris, further reducing the wear of the steering gear and the power steering oil pump, and extending the service life of the power steering system.

[0053] In one embodiment, the receiving hole 111 is disposed at one end of the adsorption portion 110 away from the sealing portion 120 , and extends along the axial direction of the adsorption portion 110 .

[0054] Reference Figure 3 In the embodiment of the utility model, the receiving hole 111 extending along the axial direction of the adsorption part 110 is easy to process and has low manufacturing difficulty, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the adsorption part 100.

[0055] In one embodiment, the receiving hole 111 extends to penetrate the sealing portion 120; and / or,

[0056] The adsorption portion 110 is further provided with a notch 112 , and the notch 112 penetrates the receiving hole 111 along the radial direction of the adsorption portion 110 .

[0057] Reference Figure 3 In an embodiment of the utility model, the receiving hole 111 extends to penetrate the sealing portion 120, thereby increasing the depth of the receiving hole 111, further increasing the adsorption amount of the adsorbent 100 on the wear debris, reducing the number of cleaning times of the adsorbent 100, and further reducing the possibility that the wear debris in the receiving hole 111 is carried away by the flowing power steering oil, thereby improving the adsorption and collection effect of the adsorbent 100 on the wear debris.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 In the embodiment of the utility model, the receiving hole 111 is deeper, and the fluidity of the power steering oil in the receiving hole 111 is poor, so the amount of wear debris that can be adsorbed by the inner wall of the receiving hole 111 is less. In this embodiment, the adsorption part 110 is also provided with a notch 112 which radially passes through the receiving hole 111, thereby improving the fluidity of the power steering oil in the receiving hole 111, so that the inner wall of the receiving hole 111 can adsorb more wear debris, and the notch 112 itself increases the surface area of ​​the adsorption part 110, thereby successfully further increasing the adsorption amount of wear debris by the adsorption member 100.

[0059] In one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the sealing portion 120 is provided with a sealing pipe thread.

[0060] In an embodiment of the utility model, the outer peripheral wall of the sealing part 120 is provided with a sealing pipe thread, and the inner wall of the drain port is correspondingly provided with a corresponding sealing pipe thread. The sealing part 120 is used to open or seal the drain port. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0061] In one embodiment, the adsorption member 100 further includes an operating portion 130 , and the operating portion 130 is disposed at an end of the sealing portion 120 away from the adsorption portion 110 .

[0062] In an embodiment of the utility model, the adsorbent 100 further includes an operating portion 130. When the sealing portion 120 seals the liquid discharge port, the operating portion 130 is located outside the liquid storage space. By controlling the operating portion 130, the adsorbent 100 is conveniently disassembled and assembled, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the adsorbent 100 and the liquid discharge port. Specifically in this embodiment, the operating portion 130, the sealing portion 120 and the adsorbent portion 110 are an integrated structure, that is, the entire adsorbent 100 has only one part, which reduces the number of parts, simplifies the assembly steps, and reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0063] In one embodiment, the operating portion 130 is any one of an external hexagonal head, an internal hexagonal head, a square head, a cross slot head, and a slotted head.

[0064] Reference Figure 2In an embodiment of the utility model, the operating part 130 can be an external hexagonal head, or an internal hexagonal head, or a square head, or a cross slot head, or a slotted head. The manufacturing process is mature, and the matching wrenches or screwdrivers are relatively common, which reduces the difficulty of disassembly and assembly of the adsorption component 100.

[0065] The utility model also proposes a vehicle, including the above-mentioned power oil tank assembly. The specific structure of the power steering oil tank assembly refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here. By adopting the above-mentioned power oil tank assembly, the wear of various components in the power steering system of the vehicle is reduced, which is conducive to ensuring the working performance of the power steering system and extending the service life of the power steering system, thereby ensuring that the user is more labor-saving when driving the vehicle and improving the usability and safety of the vehicle.

[0066] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
