Specifically, one end of the fine filter 1 abuts against the bottom surface of the oil pan 3, so that the sealing ring 1.2 forms a sealing connection between the fine filter 1 and the oil pan 3.
[0026] The oil inlet channel 2.1 communicates the oil cavity of the crankcase 2 with the threaded interface 3.3. Specifically, one end of the oil inlet channel 2.1 communicates with the threaded interface 3.3, and the other end of the oil inlet channel 2.1 communicates with the oil cavity of the crankcase. In this embodiment, the oil inlet channel 2.1 is arranged in the wall of the crankcase 2, and the oil inlet channel 2.1 and the wall of the crankcase 2 are integrally formed. The oil return channel communicates the oil outlet hole 1.3 with the oil cavity of the crankcase 2. The oil in the oil cavity of the crankcase 2 enters the fine filter 1 through the oil inlet channel 2.1, is filtered by the fine filter 1, and then returns to the oil cavity of the crankcase 2 through the oil outlet hole 1.3 and the oil return channel, forming an oil filtering cycle.
[0027] Because the front side, rear side and left and right sides of the crankcase 2 of the motorcycle are generally arranged with other parts of the motorcycle (the left and right sides of the crankcase 2 are generally arranged with decorative plates, and the front and rear sides are generally arranged with functional parts of the motorcycle), the structure space of the front side, rear side and left and right sides of the crankcase 2 is relatively compact; but the lower part of the crankcase 2 is generally not arranged with parts. Therefore, the fine filter 1 of this embodiment is installed in the threaded interface 3.3 on the bottom surface of the oil pan 3 at the bottom of the crankcase 2 of the motorcycle engine through the threaded connector 4, so that the fine filter 1 is installed in the vacant position below the crankcase 2 (the fine filter is externally arranged below the oil pan), so that the fine filter 1 can be directly disassembled and replaced from below the crankcase 2, and the disassembly and replacement of the fine filter 1 is not affected by other parts of the motorcycle (the other parts of the motorcycle do not need to be disassembled during the replacement of the fine filter), and the fine filter can be directly screwed off for disassembly and directly screwed on for installation, so that the fine filter 1 is convenient and fast to disassemble and replace, and the efficiency of disassembly and replacement of the fine filter 1 can be effectively improved, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the motorcycle engine. On the other hand, by installing the fine filter 1 in the vacant position below the crankcase 2, more space can be provided on the front side or rear side of the crankcase 2 for installing other parts of the motorcycle, which is beneficial to the arrangement of other parts of the motorcycle.
[0028] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-3As shown, a motorcycle engine bottom fine filter structure, including fine filter 1, threaded joint 4, oil inlet channel 2.1 and oil return channel. Fine filter 1 one end is provided with sealing ring 1.2 and threaded inlet 1.1 inside sealing ring 1.2. Fine filter 1 one end is also provided with oil outlet hole 1.3. Threaded inlet 1.1 is located in the middle of the one end of fine filter 1. Sealing ring 1.2 extends along the edge of the one end of fine filter 1. Oil outlet hole 1.3 is located between threaded inlet 1.1 and sealing ring 1.2.
[0029] Threaded joint 4 refers to threaded pipe, both ends of threaded joint 4 are provided with external threads.
[0030] The bottom surface of oil pan 3 at the bottom of crankcase 2 of engine is provided with threaded interface 3.3. One end of threaded joint 4 is in sealing connection with threaded interface 3.3. Fine filter 1 is externally arranged below oil pan 3. The other end of threaded joint 4 is in sealing connection with threaded inlet 1.1. Sealing ring 1.2 forms sealing connection between fine filter 1 and oil pan 3, specifically, one end of fine filter 1 abuts against the bottom surface of oil pan 3, so that sealing ring 1.2 forms sealing connection between fine filter 1 and oil pan 3.
[0031] Oil inlet channel 2.1 communicates the oil cavity of crankcase 2 with threaded interface 3.3. Specifically, one end of oil inlet channel 2.1 is connected with threaded interface 3.3, and the other end of oil inlet channel 2.1 communicates with the oil cavity of crankcase. In the embodiment, oil inlet channel 2.1 is arranged in the wall of crankcase 2, and oil inlet channel 2.1 is integrally formed with the wall of crankcase 2. Oil return channel communicates oil outlet hole 1.3 with the oil cavity of crankcase 2. The oil in the oil cavity of crankcase 2 enters fine filter 1 through oil inlet channel 2.1, is filtered by fine filter 1, and the filtered oil returns to the oil cavity of crankcase 2 through oil outlet hole 1.3 and oil return channel, forming oil filtering circulation.
[0032] Specifically, crankcase 2 includes upper box body and lower box body, the upper box body and the lower box body are connected by bolts, and the oil pan 3 is connected to the lower end surface of the lower box body by bolts. Oil inlet channel 2.1 is arranged in the wall of the lower box body of crankcase 2, one end of oil inlet channel 2.1 is connected with the lower end surface of the lower box body of crankcase 2, and the upper end of threaded interface 3.3 communicates with the upper end surface of oil pan 3. One end of oil inlet channel 2.1 is aligned with the upper end of threaded interface 3.3, and the lower end surface of the lower box body where one end of oil inlet channel 2.1 is located is in sealing connection with the upper end surface of oil pan 3 where the upper end of threaded interface 3.3 is located, so that one end of oil inlet channel 2.1 is in sealing connection with the upper end of threaded interface 3.3.
[0033] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the fine filter 1 is arranged in the oil pan 3, and the oil inlet channel 2.1 is arranged in the wall of the lower box body of the crankcase 2. Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in the drawings, the oil sump 3 has a downward protruding protrusion 3.1, which is integrally formed with the oil sump 3. The protrusion is located on one side of the fine filter 1. In this way, on the one hand, the fine filter 1 can avoid the protrusion on the oil sump 3, and on the other hand, the protrusion can provide a certain protective effect to the side of the fine filter 1.
[0034] In one example, the lowest position of the fine filter 1 is higher than the lowest position of the protrusion on the oil sump 3. In this arrangement, the lowest part of the fine filter 1 can be prevented from being too low and occupying too much lower space.
[0035] In another example, the lowest position of the fine filter 1 is lower than the lowest position of the protrusion on the oil sump 3. This is beneficial for the arrangement of a larger volume of the fine filter 1.
[0036] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 , Figure 2 the oil sump 3 has a side guard plate 3.2 on the bottom surface, which is integrally formed with the oil sump 3. The fine filter 1 is located between the protrusion and the side guard plate. In this way, the protrusion and the side guard plate can provide a certain protective effect to the side of the fine filter 1.
[0037] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 the oil return channel includes a sump channel 3.5 provided in the wall of the oil sump 3 and a crankcase channel provided in the wall of the crankcase 2. One end of the sump channel 3.5 communicates with the oil outlet hole 1.3, and the other end of the sump channel 3.5 communicates with one end of the crankcase channel. The other end of the crankcase channel communicates with the oil cavity of the crankcase 2. In this way, the oil return channel can be directly built into the wall of the oil sump 3 and the wall of the crankcase 2, without the need for additional external piping, which can reduce parts and eliminate the installation steps of the corresponding external piping, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.
[0038] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 the oil return channel also includes an annular groove 3.4 provided on the bottom surface of the oil sump 3. The opening of the annular groove 3.4 faces downward. The annular groove 3.4 is located between the sealing ring 1.2 and the threaded interface 3.3, so that the end of the fine filter 1 seals the opening of the annular groove 3.4. The oil outlet hole 1.3 communicates with the opening of the annular groove 3.4. One end of the sump channel 3.5 communicates with the annular groove 3.4. In this way, the oil outlet hole 1.3 of the fine filter 1 can communicate with the sump channel 3.5 through the annular groove 3.4, ensuring that the oil filtered through the fine filter 1 can smoothly flow back to the oil cavity of the crankcase 2 through the oil outlet hole 1.3 and the oil return channel, forming an oil filtering cycle.
[0039] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3As shown, the bottom surface of the oil pan 3 is provided with an annular boss. The threaded interface 3.3 is located in the annular boss. The end surface of the annular boss forms a sealing connection surface. The sealing ring 1.2 forms a sealing connection between the fine filter 1 and the sealing connection surface. In this way, the sealing ring 1.2 can form a sealing connection between the fine filter 1 and the sealing connection surface, thereby ensuring the sealing connection between the fine filter 1 and the bottom surface of the oil pan 3.
[0040] In this embodiment, the end surface of the annular boss is a machined flat surface, which can ensure the smoothness and flatness of the sealing connection surface, thereby ensuring the sealing connection between the fine filter 1 and the sealing connection surface, and further ensuring the sealing connection between the fine filter 1 and the bottom surface of the oil pan 3.
[0041] Since the front, rear and left and right sides of the motorcycle crankcase 2 are generally arranged with other parts of the motorcycle (where the left and right sides of the crankcase 2 are generally arranged with decorative plates, and the front and rear sides are generally arranged with functional parts of the motorcycle), the structure space of the front, rear and left and right sides of the crankcase 2 is relatively compact; but the lower part of the crankcase 2 is generally not arranged with parts. Therefore, the fine filter 1 of the present embodiment is installed in the threaded interface 3.3 on the bottom surface of the oil pan 3 at the bottom of the motorcycle engine crankcase 2 through the threaded joint 4, thereby installing the fine filter 1 in the vacant position below the crankcase 2 (the fine filter is externally arranged below the oil pan), in this way, on the one hand, the fine filter 1 can be directly disassembled and replaced from below the crankcase 2, and the disassembly and replacement of the fine filter 1 is not affected by other parts of the motorcycle (during the replacement of the fine filter, other parts of the motorcycle do not need to be disassembled), and the fine filter can be directly unscrewed to complete the disassembly, and the fine filter can be directly screwed to complete the installation, so that the fine filter 1 is convenient and fast to disassemble and replace, which can effectively improve the disassembly and replacement efficiency of the fine filter 1, and is beneficial to the maintenance of the motorcycle engine; on the other hand, by installing the fine filter 1 in the vacant position below the crankcase 2, the front or rear side of the crankcase 2 has more space to install other parts of the motorcycle, which is beneficial to the arrangement of other parts of the motorcycle.
[0042] In specific embodiment three, the remaining structure of the present embodiment refers to specific embodiment one or specific embodiment two, and the difference lies in that,
