[0002] The oil dipstick, also known as the oil dipstick, is a tool used to measure and detect the amount of engine lubricating oil. It is usually installed on the oil tank or oil pan to facilitate the measurement of the liquid level of the lubricating oil.
[0003] In traditional diesel engines, especially gas engines, the oil dipstick is installed on the oil pan. The condensed water in the crankcase ventilation system will freeze when it encounters low temperatures, causing the pipes to be blocked and unable to discharge the exhaust gas in the crankcase ventilation system. This will cause excessive pressure in the oil pan, pushing the oil dipstick out, resulting in oil spraying or cracking of the oil pan (plastic), causing damage to the oil pan. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a further improvement, the diameter of the pressure relief pipe is adapted to the diameter of the pressure relief plate, and the central axis of the pressure relief pipe coincides with the central axis of the pressure relief plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the pressure relief pipe includes a fixed pipe and a movable pipe, the fixed pipe and the movable pipe are connected by threads, one end of the fixed pipe is connected to the oil dipstick, and the pressure relief plate and the spring are both installed in the movable pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, a slide groove is provided in the movable tube, and a slider is provided at the bottom of the pressure relief plate, and the slider is slidably installed in the slide groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the exhaust pipe gradually decreases from an end of the exhaust pipe close to the pressure relief pipe to an end of the exhaust pipe away from the pressure relief pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer wall of the exhaust pipe.
[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] The utility model provides an oil dipstick with an integrated pressure relief function. When the exhaust gas pressure is greater than the elastic force of the spring, the pressure relief plate moves to the right. At this time, the exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust pipe until the exhaust pressure is less than the elastic force of the spring, and the pressure relief plate resets. The oil dipstick has a simple structure and effectively prevents the oil dipstick from being pushed out and causing malfunctions such as oil spraying. At the same time, it can avoid damage to the oil pan due to excessive pressure, effectively extending the service life of the oil pan. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the specific embodiments in the accompanying drawings.
[0023] See Figure 1--4. An oil dipstick with an integrated pressure relief function, comprising an oil dipstick 1, a pressure relief pipe 2 connected thereto provided on the oil dipstick 1, an exhaust pipe 3 connected thereto provided on the pressure relief pipe 2, a pressure relief plate 4 slidably installed in the pressure relief pipe 2, a spring 5 provided at one end of the pressure relief plate 4, the other end of the spring 5 being connected to the end of the pressure relief pipe 2 away from the pressure relief plate 3, the exhaust pipe 3 being located between the pressure relief plate 4 and the end of the pressure relief pipe 2 away from the pressure relief plate 4; when the exhaust gas pressure in the ventilation system is greater than the elastic force of the spring 5, the pressure relief plate 4 moves to the right, at which time the exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust pipe 3 until the exhaust pressure is less than the elastic force of the spring 5, and the pressure relief plate 4 is reset. The oil dipstick has a simple structure, which effectively prevents the oil dipstick from being pushed out and causing faults such as oil spraying, and at the same time can avoid damage to the oil pan due to excessive pressure, thereby effectively extending the service life of the oil pan.
[0024] In this embodiment, the diameter of the pressure relief pipe 2 is adapted to the diameter of the pressure relief plate 3, and the central axis of the pressure relief pipe 2 coincides with the central axis of the pressure relief plate 3. The diameter inside the cavity of the pressure relief pipe 2 is equal to the diameter of the pressure relief plate 3. A sealing strip is provided on the side wall of the pressure relief plate 3 to further enhance the sealing between the pressure relief pipe 2 and the pressure relief plate 3.
[0025] In this embodiment, the pressure relief pipe 2 includes a fixed pipe 21 and a movable pipe 22. The fixed pipe 21 and the movable pipe 22 are connected by threads. One end of the fixed pipe 21 is connected to the oil dipstick 1, and the pressure relief plate 4 and the spring 5 are both installed in the movable pipe 22; one end of the fixed pipe 21 is provided with an internal thread, and one end of the movable pipe 22 is provided with an external thread adapted to the internal thread in the cavity of the fixed pipe 21. The fixed pipe 21 and the movable pipe 22 are connected by threads, which facilitates the quick disassembly of the movable pipe 22, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the pressure relief plate 4 in the movable pipe 22.
[0026] In this embodiment, a slide groove 6 is provided in the movable tube 22, and a slider 7 is provided at the bottom of the pressure relief plate 4. The slider 7 is slidably installed in the slide groove 6. When the exhaust pressure is greater than the elastic force of the spring 5, the pressure relief plate 4 slides in the pressure relief pipe 2, driving the slider 7 to move in the slide groove 6. At this time, the slider 7 plays a guiding role to prevent the pressure relief plate 4 from deviating when it moves to the exhaust pipe 3, resulting in the pressure relief plate 4 being unable to reset.
[0027] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the slide groove 6 is "convex", the slider 7 is adapted to the slide groove 6, the cross-section of the slide groove 6 is "convex", and the corresponding cross-section of the slider 7 is also "convex", which can prevent the slider 7 from detaching from the slide groove 7 during the sliding process.
[0028] In this embodiment, there are multiple springs 5, and there is only one spring 5. The threshold value of the exhaust pressure in the pressure relief pipe 2 is associated with the elastic force of the spring 5; when the exhaust pressure is greater than the elastic force, the pressure relief plate 4 moves to the right, and the exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust pipe 3 until the exhaust pressure is less than the elastic force of the spring 5, and the pressure relief plate 4 is reset. The exhaust pressure of the oil dipstick 1 can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of springs 5, thereby increasing or decreasing its elastic force.
[0029] In this embodiment, the diameter of the exhaust pipe 3 gradually decreases from the end of the exhaust pipe 3 close to the pressure relief pipe 2 to the end of the exhaust pipe 3 away from the pressure relief pipe 2. The diameter of the exhaust pipe 3 gradually becomes smaller, which facilitates the installation and plugging of the hose.
[0030] In this embodiment, anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 3. The hose can be inserted into the exhaust pipe 3 and connected to the exhaust pipe 3 to discharge the exhaust gas to the outside. Preferably, the other end of the hose can be connected to the engine intake pipe, and the exhausted exhaust gas can be introduced into the engine through the hose for recycling. The anti-slip grooves on the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 3 can increase the friction between the exhaust pipe and the hose and enhance the sealing.
[0031] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
