Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of measuring engine oil, in particular to an easy-to-plug oil dipstick wrapped with a steel wire rope. Background Art
[0002] The oil dipstick is usually used to measure the oil level and indirectly know the amount of oil in the oil pan. The oil dipstick and the oil dipstick guide tube constitute the oil level detection subsystem in the lubrication system. JP-A-Heisei 8-247822 discloses an oil dipstick, which is not specifically shown, and includes three parts, namely, a handle part, a ruler body part and a measuring part. Specifically, the measuring part has an elongated flat plate shape, and an oil level upper limit mark and an oil level lower limit mark are provided in the upper and lower directions thereof, indicating the appropriate range of the engine oil amount.
[0003] Usually, the dipstick is inserted into a conduit connected to the cylinder oil pan, so that only the measuring part of the dipstick is immersed in the oil in the oil pan. When measuring and checking, the dipstick is pulled out of the conduit, and the amount and oxidation state of the engine oil in the oil pan are measured and checked by checking the engine oil adhering to the measuring part. Based on the measurement and inspection results, the cycle of engine oil replenishment and engine oil replacement is determined.
[0004] As for the traditional oil dipstick, the dipstick body is generally made of flat steel, which is not easy to bend. In the engine or other functional equipment, the oil circuit is more curved. For the traditional flat steel type oil dipstick, it is not easy to bend when passing through, so the passability is not smooth. Usually, the oil dipstick pipeline designed by engineers has complex bends, which makes it difficult to insert and remove the oil dipstick. Utility Model Content
