AI Technical Summary
Existing waterproof and breathable valves are prone to clogging in oily environments due to the accumulation of oil mist and aerosols, leading to the failure of the breathable function and consequently affecting the sealing and safety of automotive parts.
An oil-filtering, waterproof, and breathable valve with oil-vapor separation function was designed, including a valve body, a breathable membrane, filter packing, and an oil-proof baffle. The filter packing separates oil from oil mist and aerosol, while the oil-proof baffle prevents splashed oil from entering and thus prevents clogging.
It effectively prevents oil mist, aerosols and oil from entering, extends the service life of the vent valve, reduces the failure rate of water leakage in automotive parts, and improves vehicle driving safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model discloses a waterproof and breathable valve body structure, belonging to the technical field of oil filter waterproof and breathable valves, specifically relating to an oil filter waterproof and breathable valve with oil-vapor separation function. Background Technology
[0002] Existing waterproof and breathable valves can block water and large particles such as dust, but they often fail in environments containing oil. For example, automotive components like gearboxes and reducers contain lubricating oil. When gears rotate rapidly and reach high temperatures, oil mist, aerosols, and splashed oil are generated. When these substances accumulate on the surface of the breathable membrane inside the valve, they cause blockage, leading to malfunction and eventually damage to the membrane due to pressure buildup. This damage can cause the gearbox and reducer to become completely sealed, allowing water and dust to enter and preventing these components from functioning. Ultimately, this can render the vehicle immobile and create safety hazards. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0019] An oil-filtering, waterproof, and breathable valve with oil-vapor separation function includes: valve body 1, valve cover 2, breathable membrane 3, filter packing 4, oil-proof baffle 5, and pressure ring 6.
[0020] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the valve body 1 has a cavity-like interior. The valve cover 2 is fixedly installed on the valve body 1. The breathable membrane 3 is fixedly installed in the upper part of the valve body 1. The oil-proof baffle 5 is fixedly installed in the lower part of the valve body 1. The filter packing 4 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the valve body 1 and is located between the breathable membrane 3 and the oil-proof baffle 5.
[0021] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bottom outer side of the valve body 1 is provided with threads 7.
[0022] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the breathable membrane 3 is fixed to the upper part of the cavity of the valve body 1 by a pressure ring 6.
[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the upper part of the cavity of the valve body 1 forms a mounting groove for installing the breathable membrane 3 and the pressure ring 6.
[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the filter media 4 is formed by stacking several layers.
[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the oil-proof baffle 5 adopts a labyrinth structure.
[0026] Working principle: Based on the above structure, filter filler 4 is designed below the waterproof and breathable membrane 3, and oil-proof baffle 5 is designed below the filter filler 4.
[0027] The breathable membrane 3 is treated with an oleophobic coating to increase the contact angle between the oil and the surface of the breathable membrane 3, allowing the oil to roll off freely and improving adhesion.
[0028] The filter media 4 filters out the oil in the oil mist and aerosol and separates the air. The clean air after separation is discharged through the breathable membrane 3 without causing blockage.
[0029] The oil baffle 5 features a labyrinth design to block splashed oil, preventing it from directly entering the valve and reducing the amount of oil mist and aerosol entering the valve.
[0030] This invention achieves the functions of preventing oil mist, aerosols, and oil; extends the service life of the vent valve; reduces the failure rate of water leakage in automotive parts; and avoids potential risks to vehicle driving safety.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
