Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an easy-to-install oil filter. Background Technology
[0002] An oil filter, commonly known as an oil degreaser, is an indispensable component of a vehicle's engine lubrication system. Its main function is to remove contaminants that may be present in the engine oil, ensuring that the oil delivered to all parts of the engine remains clean. During vehicle operation, engine oil continuously circulates throughout the engine, absorbing metal particles, carbon deposits, and other impurities generated by wear and tear.
[0003] The filter element inside the oil filter can be removed and replaced. However, the outer shell of the existing oil filter has a smooth arc-shaped structure. When installing or removing the outer shell of the oil filter, a disassembly tool needs to be placed on the outer wall of the end of the oil filter. Existing disassembly tools mainly include cup-type, pliers-type, and chain-type tools. These tools cannot be well adapted to the shape of the filter and are prone to slipping. Due to the limited external space of the oil filter, it is inconvenient to use a disassembly tool placed on the outer wall of the end of the oil filter for disassembly. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oil filter that is easy to install, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An easy-to-install oil filter includes an outer housing. The outer housing has a structure for easy installation and disassembly at the end furthest from the inlet. This structure includes a reinforcing cover over the end of the outer housing. The reinforcing cover is a circular structure with an open top and a recessed interior. The internal structure of the reinforcing cover matches the external structure of the outer housing. The reinforcing cover is integrally connected to the outer housing. A detachable hexagonal nut is attached to the outer wall of the end of the reinforcing cover furthest from the outer housing.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the outer shell of the oil filter element is provided with an inclined reinforcing structure. One end of the inclined reinforcing structure is connected to the reinforcing cover, and the other end of the inclined reinforcing structure is connected to the outer wall of the outer shell of the oil filter element near the inlet.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, external force anti-slip friction grooves are evenly formed on the outer circumferential wall below the reinforcing cover.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a magnet is provided at the bottom of the disassembly hexagonal nut, and the disassembly hexagonal nut is detachably connected to a matching size inner and outer hexagonal bushing via the magnet.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing gasket is embedded in the inner circumferential wall of the outer shell of the oil filter near the inlet.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the size of the disassembly internal hexagonal nut is mm.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides an integrated reinforcing cover at the end of the outer housing of the oil filter element. This integrated reinforcing cover increases the stability and durability of the entire outer housing structure. The end of the reinforcing cover is equipped with a disassembly hexagonal nut, which, when used with a ratchet wrench, facilitates disassembly and installation. Furthermore, it demonstrates excellent performance in terms of operational safety, stability, and user-friendliness. This solves the problem that existing methods for installing and disassembling the outer housing of the oil filter element require the use of disassembly tools fitted onto the outer wall of the outer housing end. Existing cup-type, plier-type, and chain-type disassembly tools cannot adequately adapt to the shape of the filter element, are prone to slipping, and are extremely inconvenient due to the limited external space of the oil filter element.
[0014] The internal hexagonal nut has a magnet inside, which allows for detachable connection to matching internal and external hexagonal bushings. Different sized internal and external hexagonal bushings can be used for connection, facilitating the use of various gear ratchet wrenches. The ratchet wrench offers flexible disassembly and provides continuous rotation, significantly reducing labor intensity and time required when tightening or loosening nuts, especially in space-constrained situations.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Example
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an easy-to-install oil filter element, including an outer housing 1 of the oil filter element, with an easy-to-install and disassemble structure 2 provided at the end of the outer housing 1 away from the inlet. A sealing gasket is embedded in the inner circumferential wall of the end of the outer housing 1 near the inlet. The sealing gasket ensures the sealing performance during oil filtration and prevents oil leakage. The installation and disassembly structure 2 includes a reinforcing cover 21 covering the end of the outer housing 1 of the oil filter element. The reinforcing cover 21 is a circular structure with an open top and a recessed interior. The internal structure of the reinforcing cover 21 is consistent with the machine... The external structure of the oil filter outer housing 1 is matched, and the reinforcing cover 21 is integrally connected to the oil filter outer housing 1. The outer wall of the reinforcing cover 21 away from the oil filter outer housing 1 is connected to a detachable hexagonal nut 22. The outer wall of the oil filter outer housing 1 is provided with an inclined reinforcing structure 11. One end of the inclined reinforcing structure 11 is connected to the reinforcing cover 21, and the other end of the inclined reinforcing structure 11 is connected to the outer wall of the oil filter outer housing 1 near the inlet. External force anti-slip friction grooves 211 are evenly opened on the outer circumferential wall below the reinforcing cover 21.
[0022] It should be noted that in this embodiment, an integrated reinforcing cover 21 is provided at the end of the outer housing 1 of the oil filter element. The integrated reinforcing cover 21 can increase the stability and durability of the entire structure of the outer housing 1 of the oil filter element. The end of the reinforcing cover 21 is provided with a disassembly hexagonal nut 22, which is convenient to disassemble with a ratchet wrench and easy to install. The production cost is low, and the outer housing 1 of the oil filter element can be recycled.
[0023] Furthermore, an inclined reinforcing structure 11 is provided on the outer wall of the outer housing 1 of the oil filter element. The inclined reinforcing structure 11 strengthens the overall rigidity of the connection between the outer housing 1 of the oil filter element and the integrated reinforcing cover 21, which helps to resist deformation caused by torque or pressure when the outer housing 1 of the oil filter element is disassembled with a wrench.
[0024] Furthermore, external force-type anti-slip friction grooves 211 are evenly opened on the outer circumferential wall below the reinforcing cover 21 to provide additional anti-slip effect, so that the disassembly process is not limited to the same disassembly method as a wrench. The anti-slip friction grooves 211 make it difficult for other disassembly equipment to slip during the disassembly process, increasing the stability of operation.
[0025] Furthermore, the oil filter outer housing 1 is equipped with an integrated reinforcing cover 21, which, together with the disassembly hexagonal nut 22, performs excellently in terms of operational safety, stability, and user-friendliness. This solves the problem that existing methods of installing and disassembling the oil filter outer housing 1 require the use of disassembly tools fitted onto the outer wall of the end of the oil filter outer housing 1. Existing cup-type, plier-type, and chain-type disassembly tools cannot be well adapted to the shape of the filter, and the disassembly tools are prone to slipping. Moreover, due to the limited external space of the oil filter, it is inconvenient to use disassembly tools fitted onto the outer wall of the end of the oil filter outer housing for disassembly.
[0026] Please see Figure 2 , 3 4. The bottom of the internal hexagonal nut 22 is equipped with a magnet 221. The internal hexagonal nut 22 can be detachably connected to a matching internal and external hexagonal bushing 222 via the magnet 221. The internal hexagonal nut 22 is 10mm in size.
[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a magnet 221 is provided inside the internal hexagonal nut 22. The internal hexagonal nut 22 is detachably connected to a matching size internal and external hexagonal bushing 222 via the magnet 221. By using internal and external hexagonal bushings 222 of different sizes for connection, it is convenient to use various gear ratchet wrenches. The ratchet wrench is flexible in disassembly and can provide continuous rotation capability. When it is necessary to tighten or loosen the nut, it can greatly reduce the required labor intensity and time. Especially in the case of limited space, the ratchet wrench can be operated more conveniently.
[0028] This application significantly improves the ease of use and maintenance efficiency of oil filters through an integrated structure, optimized mechanical distribution, and user-friendly disassembly design, while also taking into account the cost-effectiveness of manufacturing and maintenance.
[0029] The working process of this utility model:
[0030] When in use, insert the hexagonal shaft at the end of the ratchet wrench into the interior hexagonal nut 22 for disassembly, and rotate the ratchet wrench to disassemble and replace the filter element inside the outer housing 1 of the oil filter element. When the hexagonal shaft at the end of the ratchet wrench does not match, place the inner and outer hexagonal bushings 222 that match the hexagonal shaft of the ratchet wrench and the interior hexagonal nut 22 inside the interior hexagonal nut 22 by magnetic attraction, and then disassemble or install using the ratchet wrench.
[0031] Cup-type, pliers-type, and chain-type disassembly tools can be fitted onto the outer circumferential wall below the reinforcing cover 21, where external force anti-slip friction grooves 211 are evenly opened to prevent the disassembly tools from slipping easily.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
