Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an oil pan for a diesel engine, belonging to the technical field of diesel engines. Background Art

[0002] At present, in order to improve the operation efficiency of tractors in low and narrow spaces such as greenhouses and orchards, it is necessary for tractors to minimize the turning radius and reduce the overall height of the machine to the greatest extent. This requires the position of the oil pan connecting the front axle of the tractor to be moved backward and the thickness of the oil pan at the connection to be thinned. However, moving the front axle backward on the existing conventional "flat" and "equal-depth" oil pans will cause an increase in the height of the tractor, not meeting the supporting requirements. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the existing conventional "flat" and "equal-depth" oil pans cannot achieve the backward movement of the front axle of the tractor on the premise of reducing the height, and provide an oil pan for a diesel engine. The oil pan for a diesel engine adopts a stepped shape, with a deeper front and a shallower rear. The front end stores lubricating oil, and the rear end is close to the bottom surface of the cylinder block, used to fix the front axle bracket, realizing the reduction of the height of the tractor and the backward movement of the front axle.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] An oil pan for a diesel engine is a hollow shell integrally cast and open on one side. The shell includes an oil storage part at the front end and a front axle installation part at the rear end. The oil storage part and the front axle installation part have a common top flange surface above, used for fixing to the engine cylinder block; the rear end of the front axle installation part has a rear plate used for fixing to the flywheel housing; its characteristic lies in that the lower part of the oil storage part and the front axle installation part is a stepped bottom plate, and the stepped bottom plate is jointly composed of an oil storage chamber bottom plate at a relatively low position, an installation part bottom plate at a relatively high position, and a large-round-corner connection bottom plate that is transitionally connected between the two.

[0006] Furthermore, the oil storage part includes an oil storage chamber bottom plate, an oil storage chamber top plate, and oil storage chamber side plates extending up and down between the two. The oil storage chamber is constructed as an outward-expanding wing-shaped arc surface structure among the three. The outward-expanding wing shape at the front end effectively increases the space of the oil storage chamber, and the shrinking arc surface at the rear end avoids tire steering interference.

[0007] Furthermore, the front axle installation part includes an installation part bottom plate, a top flange surface, and side plates extending up and down between the two.

[0008] Furthermore, symmetric block-shaped lugs are arranged on the left and right sides of the installation part bottom plate, used for limiting the left and right movement and swing of the front axle.

[0009] Further, a semi-circular avoidance arc one which is concave upward is arranged in the middle of the front end of the bottom plate of the installation part for avoiding the front support of the front axle; a semi-circular avoidance arc two which is concave upward is arranged below the rear plate for avoiding the drive shaft of the front axle; front axle fixing screw holes are arranged on both sides below the semi-circular avoidance arc one and at the rear end of the bottom plate of the installation part for fixing the front and rear supports of the front axle.

[0010] Further, a lug and an oil level gauge installation screw hole penetrating through the inner cavity of the oil pan are arranged on the left side of the side plate for installing the oil level gauge.

[0011] Further, an oil level gauge air vent hole penetrating through is arranged between the oil level gauge installation screw hole and the inner cavity of the oil pan for solving the problem of the decrease of the oil level when the oil level gauge is inserted.

[0012] Further, a lug arranged on the right side of the top plate of the oil storage cavity and a breather return oil pipe installation screw hole penetrating through the inner cavity are used for installing the breather return oil pipe.

[0013] Further, an oil drain screw hole of the oil pan is arranged on the left side of the side plate of the oil storage cavity.

[0014] Further, a battery bracket and a hood installation screw hole are arranged at the front end of the side plate of the oil storage cavity for fixing the battery bracket and the hood of the tractor.

[0015] The oil pan of the present utility model has a stepped shape as a whole, deeper at the front and shallower at the rear. The front-end outward-expanded wing-shaped structure can effectively meet the lubricating oil reserve. The arc-shaped structure at the rear end of the oil storage cavity can avoid the steering track of the front tire of the tractor. The rear end of the oil pan is designed with a thinning structure to be closest to the diesel engine cylinder block to the greatest extent, reducing the installation position of the diesel engine. The front axle installation position designed at the rear end effectively reduces the wheelbase of the tractor and greatly reduces the turning radius. It effectively solves the problems that the tractors equipped with conventional "flat" and "equal-depth" oil pans have large turning radii, the vehicle body height interferes with the greenhouse top in narrow spaces such as greenhouses and orchards during operation, resulting in low operation efficiency and inability to cover the entire area. The tractor equipped with the oil pan of the present utility model has unique advantages in reducing the overall height of the whole machine and improving the turning flexibility.
