[0002] Engine oil, also known as engine lubricating oil, can play the roles of lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling and temperature reduction, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, shock absorption and buffering for the engine. The oil in the engine oil tank needs to be cooled. The cooling effect of internal cooling alone is poor. Therefore, an oil cooler is currently arranged outside the engine. The oil in the oil tank is connected to the cooler through a delivery inlet pipe and a delivery return pipe. However, the current cooler only includes an oil chamber and a cooling jacket arranged outside the oil chamber. The cooling water on the engine is introduced into the cooling jacket through a cooling water inlet pipe and a cooling water return pipe to cool the oil. However, such cooling effect is poor, which affects the use of the engine oil. Utility Model Content

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0016] Example 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the utility model is an external cooling device for engine oil, including an external cooler 11, wherein a plurality of cooling oil chambers 10 are provided in the external cooler 11 along the vertical direction, a cooling water chamber 7 is provided between adjacent cooling oil chambers 10, a plurality of oil through pipes 8 are connected between adjacent cooling oil chambers 10, the oil through pipes 8 pass through the cooling water chambers 7, a plurality of cooling water holes 6 are connected to the outside of adjacent cooling water chambers 7, the cooling water holes 6 are located on the outside of the cooling oil chambers 10, the cooling water chamber 7 and the cooling oil chamber 10 at the bottom are respectively connected to the cooling water inlet pipe 2 and the cooling oil inlet pipe 4, and the cooling water chamber 7 and the cooling oil chamber 10 at the top are respectively connected to the cooling water outlet pipe 9 and the cooling oil outlet pipe 12.
[0017] During operation, the cooling water of the engine cooling system enters the cooling water chamber 7 at the bottom from the cooling water inlet pipe 2, and is then gradually transported upward through the cooling water hole 6. During this process, the cooling water will cool the hot engine oil in the cooling oil chamber 10 entering from the cooling oil inlet pipe 4, and then the cooled engine oil is discharged from the cooling oil outlet pipe 12, and the cooling water is discharged from the cooling water outlet pipe 9.
[0018] Example 2, based on Example 1, features a cooling base 1 fixed to the bottom of an external cooler 11. Cooling base 1 is provided with a water guide hole 3 and an oil guide hole 13. An annular distribution water cavity 5 is provided on the inner side of the lower portion of the external cooler 11, connecting to the lowest cooling water cavity 7. The top of the water guide hole 3 connects to the annular distribution water cavity 5, and the other end of the water guide hole 3 is connected to the cooling water inlet pipe 2. The top of the oil guide hole 13 connects to the lowest cooling oil cavity 10, and the other end of the oil guide hole 13 is connected to the cooling oil inlet pipe 4. Sealing rings are provided on the outside of the water guide hole 3 and the oil guide hole 13 at the connection between the cooling base 1 and the external cooler 11 to prevent leakage.
[0019] Example 3, as Figure 3 As shown, on the basis of Example 1 or 2, the external cooling device also includes an oil cooling box 20, in which a serpentine cooling oil coil 19 is provided, and a cooling water hose 18 is wound around the cooling oil coil 19. A connecting pipe 17 connected to the cooling oil outlet pipe 12 is fixed to the bottom of the cooling oil coil 19, and the lower end of the cooling water hose 18 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 15.

The return pipe 16 is connected to the engine cooling system's water tank, and the delivery pipe 22 is connected to the engine cooling system's water supply. The oil discharged from the cooling oil outlet pipe 12 flows upward through the connecting pipe 17 into the cooling oil delivery coil 19 within the oil cooler 20.

The secondary cooling water then enters the return pipe 16, merges with the primary cooling water, and returns to the water tank, with the oil returning directly to the oil tank.
