AI Technical Summary
Existing oil check valves have high manufacturing costs and insufficient sealing performance and wear resistance, especially when the valve core and sealing gasket are not integrated.
The valve body, valve core, and valve seat are manufactured using a thin steel plate stretching process, and the valve core and sealing gasket are integrated using a rubber vulcanization process. An interference fit and sealing ring are combined to improve sealing performance and wear resistance.
This reduces the manufacturing cost of the oil check valve while improving the sealing performance and wear resistance of the valve core, ensuring uniform fluid pressure distribution.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil check valve technology, specifically an oil check valve. Background Technology
[0002] An oil check valve is a device that prevents the backflow of engine oil, ensuring that the oil flows in one direction to all parts that require lubrication.
[0003] An existing oil check valve is made of metal sheet or bar stock that has not undergone a stretching process, which results in relatively high manufacturing costs. Furthermore, some existing oil check valves do not have a sealing gasket, while others have a sealing gasket, but the gasket is not integrated with the valve core, leading to insufficient sealing performance and wear resistance of the valve core. Therefore, there is a need to propose an oil check valve. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an oil check valve, which can be manufactured by using thin steel plate as the material for valve body, valve core and valve seat, and by thin steel plate stretching process, which reduces the cost. Furthermore, the valve core and sealing gasket are manufactured as one piece by rubber vulcanization process, which can ensure both the sealing performance and wear resistance of the valve core.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an oil check valve, comprising a valve body, a valve seat at the upper end of the valve body, a valve core inside the valve body, a spring fixedly installed between the valve core and the valve seat, a sealing gasket at the bottom end of the valve core, the sealing gasket being integrally formed with the valve core through a vulcanization process, and the valve body, valve seat, and valve core being manufactured using a thin steel plate stretching process.
[0006] To facilitate the entry and exit of engine oil into and out of the valve body, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall and bottom of the valve body are respectively provided with an oil outlet and an oil inlet.
[0007] In order to ensure a tight connection between the valve seat and the valve body, in a preferred embodiment of the oil check valve of this utility model, the valve seat is integrally formed with the valve body by interference fit.
[0008] To enhance the sealing between the valve seat and the valve body, a sealing ring is preferably installed at the interference fit joint between the valve seat and the valve body, which is a preferred embodiment of the oil check valve of this utility model.
[0009] In order to facilitate a more uniform pressure distribution of the fluid inside the valve body, the valve body of the oil check valve of this utility model is preferably cylindrical.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] Compared to traditional oil check valves, this invention uses thin steel plates as the material for the valve body, valve core, and valve seat, and is manufactured through a thin steel plate stretching process, resulting in lower costs.
[0012] Compared to traditional oil check valves, this device features a rubber sealing gasket on the valve core. The steel valve core and the rubber sealing gasket are manufactured as one piece through a rubber vulcanization process. This ensures that the valve core has both the sealing performance of rubber and the wear resistance of steel (due to friction between the valve core and the valve body during movement).

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 3 An oil check valve includes a valve body 1, a valve seat 7 at the upper end of the valve body 1, a valve core 5 inside the valve body 1, a spring 8 fixedly installed between the valve core 5 and the valve seat 7, and a sealing gasket 3 at the bottom end of the valve core 5. The sealing gasket 3 is integrally formed with the valve core 5 through a vulcanization process. The valve body 1, valve seat 7, and valve core 5 are all manufactured using a thin steel plate stretching process.
[0018] In this embodiment: the sealing gasket 3 and the valve core 5 are manufactured as one piece by rubber vulcanization process. During operation, the sealing gasket 3 moves together with the valve core 5. The valve body 1, valve core 5 and valve seat 7 are all manufactured by thin steel plate stretching process, which increases the sealing performance of the valve core 5. When the valve core 5 reciprocates inside the valve body 1, it rubs against the valve body 1, and the sealing gasket 3 increases the wear resistance of the valve core 5.
[0019] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall and bottom of the valve body 1 are respectively provided with an oil outlet 2 and an oil inlet 4.
[0020] In this embodiment: when the oil pressure difference between the oil inlet 4 and the oil outlet 2 can overcome the resistance of the spring 8, the sealing gasket 3 at the lower end of the valve core 5 does not abut against the valve body 1, and at this time the valve core 5 is in a state of attachment. Figure 3 The valve is in the open state; otherwise, valve core 5 is closed.
[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the valve seat 7 is integrated with the valve body 1 by interference fit.
[0022] In this embodiment, the valve seat 7 is integrated with the valve body 1 by welding or interference fit, which can make the valve seat 7 and the valve body 1 tightly connected.
[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a sealing ring 6 is installed at the junction of the valve seat 7 and the valve body 1 where they are interference fit.
[0024] In this embodiment: when the valve seat 7 and the valve body 1 are fitted with an interference fit, the sealing ring 6 can increase the sealing performance between the valve seat 7 and the valve body 1.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the valve body 1 is cylindrical.
[0026] In this embodiment, the valve body 1 is cylindrical, which is beneficial for a more uniform pressure distribution of the fluid inside the valve body 1.
[0027] Working principle: The sealing gasket 3 and valve core 5 are manufactured as one piece through rubber vulcanization process. When the oil pressure difference between the oil inlet 4 and the oil outlet 2 can overcome the resistance of the spring 8, the valve core 5 opens; otherwise, the valve core 5 closes. During operation, when the pressure at the oil inlet 4 is greater than the resistance of the spring 8, the sealing gasket 3 moves with the valve core 5, and the valve core 5 opens. By using thin steel plate stretching process to manufacture the valve body 1, the sealing performance of the valve core 5 is increased. When the valve core 5 reciprocates inside the valve body 1, it rubs against the valve body 1, and the sealing performance of the valve core 5 is increased through the sealing gasket 3.
[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
