Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ventilation plugs, in particular to a ventilation plug for an oil tank of a hydraulic power unit. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic power units play a vital role in mechanical operation. The stability and reliability of their performance have a decisive impact on the overall equipment efficiency and safety. Hydraulic power units are widely used in various machines and equipment. Their core function is to transmit energy through liquid to achieve various actions and operations. Among them, the oil tank is a container for storing hydraulic oil, and the vent plug in the oil tank is one of the key components to ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic system.

[0003] In the hydraulic power unit, the venting plug is a key component. Its main function is to adjust the pressure inside the oil tank to prevent damage to the system due to excessive or low pressure, and to ensure that the remaining oil in the oil tank will not leak out during transportation, so as to avoid contaminating the packaging box. When the hydraulic oil returns to the oil tank from the actuator, some air may be brought into the oil tank due to the movement of the actuator. If this part of the air cannot be discharged in time, the pressure inside the oil tank will increase, thus affecting the normal operation of the hydraulic system. The traditional venting plug design is relatively simple. When the hydraulic oil returns to the oil tank from the actuator, the air in it is discharged through the venting plug. However, in this process, after the air and oil droplets are mixed, it is easy to form fine oil mist, which may flow to the surface of the assembly, forming the so-called "false oil leakage". In fact, this "false oil leakage" is not a real oil leakage, but it will make users mistakenly think that there is an oil leakage failure in the hydraulic system, which will cause unnecessary concerns and maintenance work, so it is necessary to improve it.
