Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine cooling and lubrication systems, in particular to an oil pan device with a separation baffle. Background Art

[0002] Plastic oil pans are leaking in the aftermarket for high-horsepower engines. Disassembly of the failed components revealed insufficient surface pressure on the oil pan gasket. This is likely due to the large oil sump in high-horsepower engines, which holds a large amount of oil. When the vehicle is started, braked, or driven on rough roads, the oil in the sump tends to slosh back and forth, constantly impacting the gasket. This causes the sealing capacity to be less than the oil's impact force, leading to seal failure.

[0003] We also discovered that the oil pan itself was deformed. This suggests that high-horsepower engines have larger oil sump tanks with no internal support, which can cause the plastic oil pan to deform when the oil temperature is high.

[0004] The defects of the prior art are:

[0005] 1. Since the oil sump of a high-horsepower engine is larger and holds more oil, when the vehicle starts, brakes, or drives on a bad road, the oil in the oil sump tends to swing back and forth, constantly impacting the gasket, causing the sealing capacity to be less than the oil impact force and the seal to fail.

[0006] 2. Because the oil sump of a high-horsepower engine is large and has no internal support, the plastic oil sump will deform when the oil temperature is high. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In response to the above problems, the present invention provides an oil pan device with a partition baffle, which aims to reduce the impact force of engine oil on the plastic oil pan sealing gasket and at the same time support the oil pan oil tank to avoid deformation.

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] The oil pan device with a partition baffle comprises an oil pan body, a sealing gasket, and an oil drain plug, wherein:

[0010] The sealing gasket is installed on the groove at the interface above the oil pan body; the oil drain plug is installed on the oil drain hole at the bottom of the oil pan body; and a cast integral partition baffle is provided on the inner side of the oil pan body.

[0011] Preferably, the partition baffle comprises a left partition baffle, a middle partition baffle and a right partition baffle; the left partition baffle, the middle partition baffle and the right partition baffle are evenly distributed in the oil tank of the oil pan body, and divide the oil tank into four areas.

[0012] Preferably, a through hole is provided at the bottom of the partition baffle; the through hole is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inner side of the oil sump body.

[0013] Preferably, three left partition baffle through holes are provided at the bottom of the left partition baffle; one left partition baffle through hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the left partition baffle; and one left partition baffle through hole is provided at each of the left and right ends of the bottom of the left partition baffle.

[0014] Preferably, a circumvention hole for circumventing the oil suction pipe is provided in the middle of the left partition baffle.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the middle dividing baffle is provided with 5 middle dividing baffle through holes; the center of the bottom of the middle dividing baffle is provided with 1 middle dividing baffle through hole; 2 middle dividing baffle through holes are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the center of the bottom of the middle dividing baffle; and the left and right ends of the bottom of the middle dividing baffle are each provided with a middle dividing baffle through hole.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the right partition baffle is provided with 5 right partition baffle through holes; the center of the bottom of the right partition baffle is provided with 1 right partition baffle through hole; 2 right partition baffle through holes are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the center of the bottom of the right partition baffle; and the left and right ends of the bottom of the right partition baffle are each provided with a right partition baffle through hole.

[0017] Preferably, the oil pan body is made of plastic.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. Since the partition baffle structure of the utility model blocks the oil from shaking back and forth, the impact of the oil on the plastic oil pan gasket is reduced, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0020] 2. Since the partition baffle structure of the utility model plays the role of supporting the oil sump of the oil pan, deformation of the oil pan caused by high temperature is avoided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
