[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The utility model provides a new type oil pan for tractor, including oil pan body 100, the bottom of the oil pan body 100 inner chamber is provided with the arc oil groove 110, when engine operation is finished, oil is at rest, metal and nonmetallic debris carry out sedimentation, and preliminary sedimentation to the arc oil groove 110, the bottom of the arc oil groove 110 is provided with the debris sink hole 120, after carrying out multiple sedimentation, the metal and nonmetallic mixed debris in the arc oil groove 110 will gradually enter and sediment to the debris sink hole 120, because the debris sink hole 120 is compared with the arc oil groove 110, depth is deep, the metal and nonmetallic mixed debris in the debris sink hole 120 is not easy to flow again to the arc oil groove 110, the debris sink hole 120 is provided with the oil drain pipe 130 and the oil drain plug 200 in the inclination, and the oil drain plug 200 is screwed to the oil drain pipe 130, when replacing the oil in the oil pan body 100, the oil drain plug 200 is detached from the oil drain pipe 130, because the oil drain pipe 130 is provided with the inclination, and the oil drain pipe 130 is located the lowest point of the oil pan body 100, and oil can be discharged from the oil drain pipe 130 to the maximum extent, the metal and nonmetallic debris in the debris sink hole 120 will be discharged from the oil drain pipe 130, reduce the oil residue, avoid the mixed debris of metal and nonmetal to stay in the bottom of the oil pan body 100, prevent the residual debris from wearing the moving parts. Meanwhile, the oil drain pipe 130 is provided with the inclination, and the inclination angle makes the wrench operation space more abundant, and the disassembly or installation is more convenient.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, because oil and mixed debris are in the inner cavity of the oil pan body 100 for a long time, and the mixed debris is in contact with the arc oil groove 110 for a long time after sedimentation, it is easy to cause the arc oil groove 110 to wear and produce secondary metal debris. Therefore, the surface of the arc oil groove 110 is provided with a composite wear-resistant layer 111 containing tungsten carbide particles with a thickness of 0.5 mm to enhance the wear resistance of the arc oil groove 110.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the edge of the debris sink hole 120 is provided with a chamfer 121 to make the edge of the debris sink hole 120 inclined to facilitate the metal and nonmetallic mixed debris in the arc oil groove 110 to enter the debris sink hole 120.

[0030] In an embodiment, the angle between the central axis of the oil drain pipe 130 and the bottom of the oil pan body 100 is 40°-75°. The oil drain pipe 130 is arranged at an angle of 40°-75°, which facilitates the discharge of oil from the oil drain pipe 130 along a profiled line, and at the same time, the inclined arrangement of the oil drain pipe 130 makes the wrench operation space more abundant, and the disassembly or installation is more convenient.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In order to accelerate the flow of oil from the drain pipe 130, the inner wall of the drain pipe 130 is uniformly provided with a plurality of spiral oil channels 131. When the drain plug 200 is removed from the drain pipe 130, the oil flows into the spiral oil channels 131 when it flows out of the drain pipe 130, guiding the oil to flow in a spiral form, accelerating the flow rate of the oil and shortening the draining time.

[0032] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The drain plug 200 includes a plug body 210 and a magnetic ring 220. The plug body 210 has external threads, and the drain pipe 130 has internal threads. The plug body 210 is screwed into the drain pipe 130 by the external threads and the internal threads. The magnetic ring 220 is sleeved on the plug body 210 and located near the debris sink hole 120. Since most of the mixed debris are metal debris, they can be collected by magnetic attraction. When the plug body 210 is screwed into the drain pipe 130, the magnetic ring 220 extends into the debris sink hole 120. When the metal debris in the debris sink hole 120 sinks into the drain pipe 130, it is attracted by the magnetic ring 220, achieving the effect of collecting metal debris. When the plug body 210 is removed from the drain pipe 130, the metal debris on the magnetic ring 220 can be cleaned.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The magnetic ring 220 is also sleeved with a rubber ring 230, which is attached to the inner wall of the drain pipe 130. When the magnetic ring 220 extends into the drain pipe 130, the rubber ring 230 is attached to the inner wall of the drain pipe 130, which has the effect of blocking oil.

[0034] In a possible embodiment, the oil pan body 100 has an X-shaped flow guide groove 140 at the bottom of the inner cavity, which extends to the arc-shaped oil groove 110. The X-shaped flow guide groove 140 is located at the four corners of the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil pan body 100, which is beneficial to guide the oil in the inner cavity of the oil pan body 100 to flow from the periphery to the center of the arc-shaped oil groove 110, achieving the effect of guiding and mixing debris.

[0035] In a possible embodiment, the inner cavity of the oil pan body 100 comprises a first side wall (front side wall), a second side wall (rear side wall), a third side wall (left side wall), a fourth side wall (rear side wall) and a bottom, and the top surface is connected with the engine body through positioning pins and bolts. A plurality of straight ribs 300 are arranged on the first side wall and the second side wall of the inner cavity of the oil pan body 100, and a plurality of reinforcing rib plates 400 are arranged on the third side wall and the fourth side wall of the inner cavity of the oil pan body 100, and the bottom of the reinforcing rib plate 400 is in contact with the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil pan body 100, and the straight ribs 300 and the reinforcing rib plates 400 are integrally formed with the oil pan body 100. The straight ribs 300 and the reinforcing rib plates 400 are added in the oil pan, which can effectively increase the structural strength of the oil pan, and because the straight ribs 300 and the reinforcing rib plates 400 are integrally formed with the oil pan body 100, the structure of the oil pan is compact and has higher structural strength, which is suitable for high load working conditions. At the same time, the linear structure of the straight ribs 300 reduces the complexity of the mold, simplifies the casting process, linearly arranges and uniformly disperses the load, avoids the local stress concentration caused by the curvature mutation of the wave ribs, greatly reduces the defects such as sand holes and pores that may occur in the casting process, and reduces the casting scrap rate of the oil pan.

[0036] An engine is provided with a novel oil pan for tractors. By installing the oil pan on the engine, the arc-shaped oil groove 110 and the debris sink hole 120 achieve the effect of depositing mixed metal and non-metal debris. When the oil is replaced, the metal and non-metal debris in the debris sink hole 120 is discharged from the oil drain pipe 130, reducing the residual oil and avoiding the mixed metal and non-metal debris from being retained at the bottom of the oil pan body 100, thereby preventing the residual debris from wearing the moving parts.

[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
