Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to oil can technical field especially relates to a car oil can adapter tool. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of automobile development and assembly, the design and manufacture of oil cans face many challenges, especially when responding to different customer needs, the following problems exist:

[0003] 1. Oil cans occupy a large space: as one of the important components of the vehicle front compartment, the volume of the oil can is relatively large, which occupies a large amount of internal space, which not only limits the layout of other parts, but also puts forward higher requirements for the compactness and lightweight design of the whole vehicle;

[0004] 2. Customer demand diversification: different customer models and front compartment structures have significant differences, resulting in the need to redesign and customize oil cans according to specific needs every time a new project starts, which increases the complexity of design and production;

[0005] 3. Using traditional molds to manufacture oil cans not only requires a long production cycle (usually several weeks or even months), but the cost of manufacturing the mold itself is also quite high, which is a huge economic burden for projects that frequently change designs, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of rapid response;

[0006] 4. Limitations of 3D printing method: although 3D printing technology can significantly shorten the sample manufacturing cycle and respond relatively quickly, it still faces some problems in actual application: (1) high cost: although the cost of 3D printing is lower than that of mold manufacturing, for large-scale production or multiple iterations of projects, it is still a considerable expense. (2) Insufficient material performance: current 3D printing materials have certain limitations in mechanical properties, especially the material is brittle and prone to damage during real vehicle testing, which cannot fully meet the strength and durability requirements in actual use. (3) Not suitable for mass production: 3D printing is suitable for small batch or customized production, but when the demand increases, its efficiency and cost advantage is no longer obvious.
