AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The sealing performance at the opening of the existing oil pan oil storage tank is poor, mainly because the surface contact between the seal ring and the oil pan and the corresponding extruded parts is flat, resulting in the weak deformation ability of the seal ring after being extruded.

Method used

A high-sealing oil pan is designed, and an upper deformation giving way ring groove is arranged on the side of the seal ring facing away from the oil pan to form an uneven plane. After being squeezed, the two upper sealing convex rings can elastically deform into the deformation giving way groove, thereby improving sealing. In addition, the arrangement of the deformation slope and the lower deformation giving way ring groove further enhances the sealing effect.

Benefits of technology

Through the design of the upper deformation giving way ring groove and deformation slope, the sealing ring can be deformed better after being extruded, forming a double sealing effect, significantly improving the sealing of the oil pan, and ensuring the sealing of the oil suction pipe by setting the sealing gasket ring.

[0015] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. The side of the sealing ring facing away from the oil pan forms an uneven plane through the upper deformation groove. After being squeezed, the two upper sealing convex rings will more conveniently deform elastically into the deformation groove to form a better seal. In addition, the two upper sealing convex rings can form a double sealing effect, thereby improving the sealing effect of the oil pan;

[0017] 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0026] The present application embodiment discloses an oil pan with high sealing performance. Figure 1 The oil pan with high sealing performance includes an oil pan body 1 and a sealing ring 2. An oil tank 11 is provided on one side of the oil pan body 1, and part of the engine oil in the engine will be stored in the oil tank 11. The sealing ring 2 is located at the notch of the oil tank 11, and the oil tank 11 is located inside the sealing ring 2. The side of the sealing ring 2 facing away from the oil pan body 1 and the side close to the oil pan body 1 are both concave and convex surfaces, so that the sealing ring 2 can produce better deformation after being squeezed, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring 2 to the oil pan body 1.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An oil suction pipe 12 is integrally formed on the wall of one side of the oil tank 11. The oil in the engine will enter the oil tank 11 through the oil suction pipe 12. A filter is arranged inside the oil suction pipe 12 so that the oil entering the oil tank 11 can be filtered. The opening at one end of the oil suction pipe 12 is in the same direction as the notch of the oil tank 11.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A mounting ring groove 13 is provided on the side of the oil suction pipe 12 away from the bottom of the oil groove 11, and a sealing ring 14 is inserted into the mounting ring groove 13. The side of the sealing ring 14 away from the mounting ring groove 13 protrudes from the mounting ring groove 13, so that the sealing ring 14 can be deformed after being squeezed to seal the opening of the oil suction pipe 12.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two connecting strips 15 are integrally formed on the inner wall of the sealing ring 2. The two connecting strips 15 are arranged at intervals. The other ends of the two connecting strips 15 are integrally formed with the sealing gasket ring 14, so that the sealing ring 2 and the sealing gasket ring 14 become a whole and can be installed together during installation. Since the sealing gasket ring 14 is connected to the sealing ring 2 through the connecting strips 15, two notches for the connecting strips 15 to be inserted are provided on the oil suction pipe 12, so that the oil pan body 1 is not easy to be installed due to the excessive protrusion of the connecting strips 15 to generate a gap that affects the sealing effect.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A sealing ring groove 16 for inserting the sealing ring 2 is provided on one side of the oil pan body 1 where the oil groove 11 is provided, and a side of the sealing ring 2 facing away from the bottom of the sealing ring groove 16 protrudes out of the sealing ring groove 16, so that the sealing ring 2 can be squeezed and deformed to form a sealing effect during installation of the oil pan body 1.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The side of the sealing ring 2 close to the bottom of the sealing ring groove 16 is provided with a deformation slope 21, and the deformation slope 21 gradually extends toward the side close to the groove wall of the sealing ring groove 16 along the direction in which the sealing ring 2 is pulled out of the sealing ring groove 16, that is, the inner edge and the outer edge of the side of the sealing ring 2 close to the bottom of the sealing ring groove 16 are both chamfered. There is a deformation gap between the deformation slope 21 and the groove wall on the corresponding side of the sealing ring groove 16, so that when the sealing ring 2 is squeezed, there is space in the sealing ring groove 16 for deformation.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A lower deformation-displacing ring groove 22 is provided on the side of the sealing ring 2 close to the bottom of the sealing ring groove 16. Two lower sealing convex rings 23 are formed on the side of the sealing ring 2 close to the bottom of the sealing ring groove 16 through the lower deformation-displacing ring groove 22. The two lower sealing convex rings 23 are arranged at intervals. The two lower sealing convex rings 23 are provided with arc surfaces on the side close to the bottom of the sealing ring groove 16, so that the lower sealing convex rings 23 are easy to deform after being squeezed. When the sealing ring 2 is squeezed, the two lower sealing convex rings 23 can play a double sealing role, thereby improving the sealing effect of the oil pan body 1.

[0033] Similarly, an upper deformation relief ring groove 24 is provided on the side of the sealing ring 2 away from the lower sealing convex ring 23, and two upper sealing convex rings 25 are formed on the side of the sealing ring 2 away from the oil pan body 1 through the upper deformation relief ring groove 24. The two upper sealing convex rings 25 are arranged at intervals, and the two upper sealing convex rings 25 are provided with arc surfaces on the side away from the oil pan body 1, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the oil pan body 1 after installation.

[0034] The implementation principle of a highly sealed oil pan in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the side of the sealing ring 2 close to the bottom of the sealing ring groove 16 forms an uneven plane through the lower deformation clearance groove; and the side of the sealing ring 2 away from the oil pan forms an uneven plane through the upper deformation clearance groove. The two lower sealing convex rings 23 and the two upper sealing convex rings 25 are formed so that the sealing ring 2 can form a double sealing effect after being squeezed. In addition, the setting of the deformation slope 21 allows a certain gap between the sealing ring 2 and the groove wall of the sealing ring groove 16, so that the sealing ring 2 has space for deformation after being squeezed, so that the sealing ring 2 can be better deformed, thereby improving the sealing effect of the sealing ring 2.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
