Figures 1-4 The system includes an oil drain screw 1, with an internal threaded groove 101 on its upper surface and an oil drain hole 102 on one side of its outer wall. A base plate 2 is installed at the bottom of the oil drain screw 1, with a limit ring A201 installed at the center of the bottom of the base plate 2. A sealing gasket 202 is provided at the top of the limit ring A201, and a spring 203 is installed on the outer wall of the limit ring A201, located inside the oil drain screw 1. A sealing seat 3 is installed at the center of the interior of the oil drain screw 1, with its outer wall slidably connected to the interior of the oil drain screw 1. A limit ring B301 is installed at the bottom of the sealing seat 3, and an oil outlet hole is provided at the center of both the limit ring B301 and the interior of the sealing seat 3. 302. Fix the base plate 2 to the inner bottom of the drain screw 1, and fit the spring 203 onto the outer wall of the limiting ring A201 on the base plate 2. According to the limiting ring B301 on the sealing seat 3, which is fitted onto the top of the spring 203, and taking advantage of the elastic reaction force of the spring 203, when the sealing seat 3 is under pressure, it moves downward and presses against the surface of the sealing gasket 202 on the limiting ring A201, thus sealing the drain screw 1. When the sealing seat 3 is under no pressure, the spring 203 pushes the sealing seat 3 to reset and move away from the sealing gasket 202, so that the liquid can be discharged from the drain hole 302, thus achieving the sealing and draining of the drain screw 1.
[0023] A spiral sealing assembly is installed inside the upper part of the drain screw 1. The spiral sealing assembly includes a spiral sealing head 4, a guide post 401 is installed at the bottom of the spiral sealing head 4, and the outer wall of the spiral sealing head 4 is threadedly connected to the inner thread groove 101. A guide ring 402 is installed at the bottom end of the guide post 401, and the upper part of the guide ring 402 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the guide post 401. A sealing ring 403 is installed on the outer wall of the guide ring 402, and the inner part of the sealing ring 403 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide ring 402. The guide ring 402 is located inside the drain screw 1. The spiral sealing head 4 is installed in the inner thread groove 101 on the drain screw 1 by means of a threaded connection, and its guide... The guide post 401 on the spiral sealing head 4 is rotatably connected to the ring 402. When oil draining is required, simply loosen the screw 1 with a tool and remove the spiral sealing head 4 until the spring 203 pushes the sealing seat 3 to reset. During oil draining, it is not necessary to remove the entire screw 1; only the spiral sealing head 4 needs to be removed to complete the oil draining operation. If the spiral sealing head 4 is damaged inside the screw 1, the screw 1 can also be removed. This double protection ensures stable oil draining and minimizes the risk of oil leakage caused by thread wear due to repeated removal of the screw.
[0024] Working principle: When using this utility model, the base plate 2 is fixed to the inner bottom of the drain screw 1, and the spring 203 is fitted onto the outer wall of the limiting ring A201 on the base plate 2. The limiting ring B301 on the sealing seat 3 is fitted onto the top of the spring 203. Utilizing the elastic reaction force of the spring 203, when the sealing seat 3 is under pressure, it moves downwards and presses against the surface of the sealing gasket 202 on the limiting ring A201, sealing the oil outlet 302. This achieves a sealing treatment for the drain screw 1. When the sealing seat 3 is depressurized, the spring 203 pushes the sealing seat 3 back to its original position, away from the sealing gasket 202, allowing liquid to drain from the oil outlet 302. This achieves both sealing and draining of the drain screw 1. The spiral sealing head 4 is installed on the internal thread of the drain screw 1 via a threaded connection. Inside the groove 101, the guide ring 402 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the guide post 401 on the spiral sealing head 4. When oil draining is required, simply loosen the screw 1 with a tool and remove the spiral sealing head 4 until the spring 203 pushes the sealing seat 3 to reset. During oil draining, it is not necessary to remove the entire screw 1; only the spiral sealing head 4 needs to be removed to complete the oil draining operation. When the spiral sealing head 4 is damaged inside the screw 1, the screw 1 can also be removed. With this double protection, stable oil draining is ensured, minimizing the risk of oil leakage caused by thread wear due to repeated removal of the screw. This effectively improves the performance of the screw and indirectly improves its durability and sealing performance.
