[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] Example 1. A lubricating oil system draining device that is easy to operate, see Figures 1-4 , including: T-type valve core 1, sealing ring A2, sealing ring B3, valve body 4, knob 5, spring 6, spring seat 7, retaining ring A8, retaining ring B9, among which:
[0020] An annular sealing groove with a rectangular cross-section is provided on the lower side of the top boss of the T-type valve core 1, and the interior is filled with vulcanized rubber to form a raised sealing ring belt that seals with the valve body 4 to control the opening and closing of the oil discharge device; the sliding rod body of the T-type valve core 1 is a hollow structure to form a hollow flow channel, and the side wall of the upper end of the hollow flow channel is circumferentially distributed with through-flow channel holes 10; a sealing ring A2 is provided between the T-type valve core 1 and the valve body 4 to achieve sliding sealing; the T-type valve core 1 is provided with two retaining ring grooves on the outer cylindrical surface, and two retaining rings are placed therein, namely retaining ring A8 and retaining ring B9, one retaining ring contacts the bottom surface of the spring seat 7 to limit the position, and the other retaining ring contacts the bottom surface of the knob 5 to limit the position.
[0021] The valve body 4 is a cylindrical structure with a right-handed thread on the upper end of the outer cylindrical surface, which is threadedly connected to the lubricating oil system housing; the lower end of the right-handed thread of the valve body 4 is provided with a sealing groove, which is fixedly sealed with the lubricating oil system housing through the sealing ring B3; the lower end of the outer cylindrical surface of the valve body 4 is provided with a left-handed thread, the thread surface is copper-plated, and is threadedly connected to the knob 5; the inner hole of the valve body 4 is stepped, and a sealing groove is provided at the upper end, in which a sealing ring A2 is provided for sliding sealing with the axis of the T-type valve core 1, and the lower end is a spring chamber 11, which is clearance-matched with the outer cylindrical surface of the spring seat 7; a spring 6 is provided between the spring chamber 11 of the valve body 4 and the spring seat 7; three circular mounting blind holes 12 are evenly distributed along the circumference on the bottom plane of the valve body 4, which are convenient for installation and disassembly.
[0022] The knob 5 is cylindrical, with a knurled outer surface for easy manual oil draining. The inner cylindrical surface of the knob 5 is threaded with a left-hand thread, creating a threaded connection with the valve body 4. A platform is located within the knob 5, with a circular hole at its center, flexibly engaging the axis of the T-shaped valve core 1. Three mounting holes 13 are evenly distributed along the upper axis of the platform, paired with blind mounting holes 12, facilitating installation and removal. The bottom surface of the knob 5 platform engages with the retaining ring 8 for position control. The outer cylindrical surface at the bottom of the knob 5 has three evenly distributed transverse locking screw holes, allowing the oil drain device to be securely connected to the oil system housing via locking screws.
[0023] The spring 6 is a compression coil spring, one end of which is pressed tightly against the end surface of the inner hole of the valve body 4, and the other end is pressed tightly against the end surface of the spring seat 7.
[0024] The spring seat 7 is a cylindrical structure, the outer cylindrical surface is in clearance with the inner hole of the valve body 4, and the inner cylindrical surface is in clearance with the axis of the T-shaped valve core 1.
[0025] The retaining ring 8 is an annular structure with a circular cross section and an open structure; the retaining ring 8 is placed in the retaining ring groove of the T-shaped valve core 1.
[0026] Figure 2 The diagram of the oil drain device in the closed state shows that the raised annular vulcanized rubber on the underside of the top boss of the T-shaped valve core 1 contacts and seals the top end face of the valve body 4, preventing the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil system from flowing out of the oil drain device.
[0027] Figure 3 The diagram shows the oil drain mechanism in the open state. The raised annular vulcanized rubber on the underside of the top boss of the T-shaped valve core 1 is separated from the top end face of the valve body 4, allowing the lubricating oil in the oil system to flow out through the transverse flow channel holes and internal hollow flow channel of the T-shaped valve core 1.
[0028] Method of using the utility model:
[0029] The oil drain device is screwed into the bottom of the oil system housing through the threads of the valve body 4 and tightened with a special tightening wrench. The special wrench head has three cylinders evenly spaced along the axis, and the three cylinders are inserted into the three mounting holes evenly spaced along the axis of the valve body 4 and the knob 5.
[0030] When checking the quality of the lubricating oil or draining sediment, the knurled structure on the outer cylindrical surface of knob 5 is continuously turned leftward, causing knob 5 to gradually move upward. The inner hole of knob 5 moves to retaining ring A8, overcoming the elastic force of spring 6 and pushing retaining ring 8 and T-type valve core 1 to continue moving upward. The raised annular vulcanized rubber on the underside of the top boss of T-type valve core 1 disengages from the top end face of valve body 4, and the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil system flows out through the lateral flow channel holes and internal hollow flow channel of T-type valve core 1. By adjusting the screw-in depth of knob 5 relative to valve body 4, the opening height of the vulcanized sealing surface of T-type valve core 1 is controlled, thereby controlling the amount of oil drained. The screw-in depth of knob 5 is limited by the inner hole platform of knob 5 and the end face of the bottom of valve body 4.
[0031] When the oil is drained, the knurled structure on the outer cylindrical surface of the knob 5 is turned right to gradually move the knob 5 downward, so that the raised annular vulcanized rubber on the lower side of the top boss of the T-type valve core 1 contacts and seals with the top end face of the valve body 4. The knob 5 moves downward until the inner hole platform and the retaining ring B9 contact the limit position, and the oil drain device is closed.
