[0009] Preferably, the arrangement path of the oil channel passes through the oil return one-way valve at the bottom of the respirator body and the bottleneck position which is easily blocked by ice.
[0010] Preferably, the respirator body is made of cast aluminum.
[0011] Preferably, the heating oil pipe is made of metal at both ends, nylon inner layer in the middle section, and metal braided outer layer.
[0012] Preferably, the heating oil pipe has an inner diameter of 4 mm, a wall thickness of 1 mm, and a total length of 40 cm.
[0013] Preferably, the mounting flange is fixedly connected to the engine block by three M8 bolts.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. Since the utility model integrates a breather for heating the oil passage in the housing, the breather is quickly heated by the heat of the oil after the engine is started, thereby preventing freezing.
[0016] 2. Since the oil return channel is designed inside the breather of the utility model, the heated engine oil directly returns to the oil pan through the breather, so there is no need to arrange an additional oil return pipe. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
