Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vent plugs, in particular to a waterproof and oil-proof vent plug assembly. Background Art
[0002] The waterproof and breathable membrane of the existing membrane type vent plug is directly connected to the reduction gearbox. During the operation of the vehicle, due to bumps and impacts, the gear oil in the reduction gearbox may splash into the cavity of the membrane type vent plug. And there is only the waterproof and breathable membrane in the cavity of the membrane type vent plug, so the probability of the gear oil splashing onto the waterproof and breathable membrane is relatively high, and the membrane type vent plug often fails due to the blockage of the waterproof and breathable membrane. Moreover, when affected by the external temperature, the gear oil in the reduction gearbox heats up and generates oil and gas, and the oil and gas are discharged from the waterproof and breathable membrane. Over a long time, there is a risk of blockage of the waterproof and breathable membrane. At the same time, since there is an oil filter cotton between the air inlet and the waterproof and breathable membrane, it is possible that when the reduction gearbox is affected by too low external temperature and generates negative pressure, the waterproof and breathable membrane contacts the oil filter cotton, resulting in a reduction in the air permeability of the waterproof and breathable membrane due to blockage. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a waterproof and oil-proof vent plug assembly, to provide a membrane type vent plug with a new structure, to solve the problem that the oil and gas are discharged from the inside of the reducer and penetrate onto the waterproof and breathable membrane of the membrane type vent plug, and the waterproof and breathable membrane passes through the oil and gas for a long time, resulting in the failure of the waterproof and breathable membrane due to blockage; to solve the problem that the oil liquid in the reducer splashes onto the waterproof and breathable membrane of the membrane type vent plug due to bumps, resulting in the blockage of the waterproof and breathable membrane.

The circumferential edge of the support plate is connected to the boss of the valve body. The inside of the support plate is hollow and the top is fixedly connected with the waterproof and breathable membrane. The valve cover is buckled and fixed inside the valve body and is located above the waterproof and breathable membrane. A labyrinth structure is integrally formed in the air inlet of the valve body. A waterproof sputtering structure is arranged at the position where the support plate is connected to the boss. A plurality of through holes are opened on the circumferential side wall of the upper part of the valve body and above the boss.
[0006] Further, the oil filter cotton structure includes multiple layers of oil filter cotton, and the oil filter pore diameters of the multiple layers of oil filter cotton gradually decrease from bottom to top to filter oil and gas particles step by step.

[0028] The following will describe in detail the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the waterproof and oil-proof breather plug assembly of the embodiment of the present utility model includes a valve cover 1, a waterproof breathable membrane 2, a support plate 3, an oil filter cotton structure 4, and a valve body 5. The oil filter cotton structure 4 is installed inside the valve body 5. A support plate 3 is arranged above the oil filter cotton structure 4. The circumferential edge of the support plate 3 is connected to the boss of the valve body 5. The inside of the support plate 3 is hollow and the top is fixedly connected with the waterproof breathable membrane 2. Among them, the oil filter cotton structure 4 is in the shape of a stepped shaft, its upper part extends into the support plate 3, and its bottom is located at the inner bottom of the valve body 5. The valve cover 1 is buckled and fixed inside the valve body 5 and is located above the waterproof breathable membrane 2. As Figure 2 shown, a labyrinth structure 51 is integrally formed in the air inlet of the valve body 5. A waterproof sputtering structure 31 is arranged at the position where the support plate 3 is connected to the boss. A plurality of through holes are opened on the circumferential side wall of the upper part of the valve body 5 and above the boss.
[0030] In this embodiment, by integrally forming a labyrinth structure 51 in the air inlet of the valve body 5, the phenomenon that the gear oil in the reduction box directly splashes onto the waterproof breathable membrane 2 due to vehicle bumps can be effectively reduced. The labyrinth structure 51 can control the discharge path of the oil and gas, and reduce the risk of the oil and gas directly flushing and causing the rapid blockage of the oil filter cotton. Among them, by arranging a waterproof sputtering structure 31 at the position where the support plate 3 is connected to the boss, the phenomenon of water accumulation in the breather plug breathable membrane cavity caused by liquid sputtering can be prevented, and the risk of corrosion and damage of the waterproof breathable membrane 2 can be reduced.
[0031] Preferably, the oil filter cotton structure 4 includes multiple layers of oil filter cotton, and the oil filter pore diameters of the multiple layers of oil filter cotton gradually decrease from bottom to top. By installing the oil filter cotton structure 4 inside the valve body 5, the phenomenon that the oil and gas generated by the gear oil heating due to too high external temperature penetrates into the waterproof breathable membrane 2 can be effectively reduced. And the oil filter pore diameters of the multiple layers of oil filter cotton gradually decrease from bottom to top to gradually filter the oil and gas particles and reduce the risk of the oil and gas directly flushing and causing the rapid blockage of the oil filter cotton.
[0032] And, as Figure 5As shown, a cross support column is provided in the upper part of the support plate 3, and the waterproof breathable membrane 2 is fixed on the cross support column. At this time, by fixing the waterproof breathable membrane 2 on the support plate 3, and providing a cross support column for supporting the waterproof breathable membrane 2 on the support plate 3, the cross support column is used to isolate the waterproof breathable membrane 2 from the oil filter cotton structure 4, which can effectively prevent the waterproof breathable membrane 2 from generating negative pressure due to the pressure change in the reduction box, thereby causing the waterproof breathable membrane 2 to reversely contact the oil filter cotton, and avoid product failure caused by blockage of the waterproof breathable membrane 2. Preferably, the waterproof breathable membrane 2 is fixedly connected to the support plate 3 by ultrasonic welding, and the cross section of the support plate 3 is π-shaped.
[0033] The support plate 3 and the valve body 5 are fixedly connected by laser welding, and the valve cover 1 and the valve body 5 are fixedly connected by ultrasonic welding.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, when installing the waterproof and oil-proof vent plug assembly of this embodiment, the waterproof breathable membrane 2 is first fixedly connected to the support plate 3 by ultrasonic welding, and then the oil filter cotton structure 4 is installed in the cavity of the valve body 5, and the welded support plate 3 is installed in the valve body 5 on which the oil filter cotton structure 4 has been installed. At this time, the bottom of the support plate 3 abuts against the oil filter cotton structure 4, and then the support plate 3 and the valve body 5 are fixedly connected by laser welding, and the valve cover 1 and the valve body 5 to which the support plate 3 is welded are welded together by ultrasonic welding, thus completing the installation of the overall structure of the vent plug assembly.
[0035] The waterproof and oil-proof breather plug assembly of the utility model can enhance the waterproof and oil-proof capabilities of the breather plug assembly by arranging a valve cover, a waterproof and breathable membrane, a support plate, an oil filter cotton structure and a valve body, and solves the problem of clogging and failure of the waterproof and breathable membrane caused by oil and gas discharged from the inside of the reducer and infiltrating into the waterproof and breathable membrane of the membrane-type breather plug. At the same time, it can prevent the oil in the reducer from splashing onto the waterproof and breathable membrane due to bumps, effectively extending the service life of the breather plug assembly, expanding the scope of use of the breather plug, and can be directly installed on the reducer for use, and the overall structure is compact, easy to use, and highly practical.
[0036] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred methods of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
