Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an engine oil dipstick. Background Technology

[0002] An engine oil dipstick is a tool used to measure the oil level inside an engine, allowing the operator to easily assess the oil level. When the engine is running, internal wear produces metal shavings, such as those from worn bearings, piston rings, or cylinder blocks. These shavings accumulate in the engine oil, and as the amount increases, it can lead to engine malfunctions. Therefore, an oil dipstick with a metal shaving-collecting function was developed to absorb these shavings.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN219139161U discloses an engine oil dipstick, comprising a handle, a connecting part, and a dipstick body, which are connected sequentially from top to bottom. The dipstick body includes a vertically extending flat plate. Both sides of the flat plate have upper and lower limit marks, with a grid between them. A reinforcing rib is located at the midpoint of both sides of the flat plate, with the rib extending in the same direction as the flat plate, thus forming a cross-section structure. A disc structure is concentrically located at the top of the cross-section structure, and a cylindrical structure is concentrically located at the bottom. The bottom surface of the cylindrical structure has a cylindrical hole, into which a magnet is embedded, with the lower end of the magnet exposed outside the hole. The handle consists of a disc base and a grip located above the disc base. The connecting part is cylindrical.

[0004] Although the existing technology described above achieves the function of adsorbing metal debris on the dipstick, the magnet is connected to the cylindrical structure by an embedded method, which makes the assembly operation inconvenient. Furthermore, the embedded method makes it easy for the magnet to fall off due to deformation of the dipstick body under high temperature conditions, which can easily cause engine damage and other problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an engine oil dipstick to solve the problem that the magnet on the oil dipstick is easy to fall off in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of this utility model provides an engine oil dipstick, including a dipstick body, an operating part connected to one end of the dipstick body, and a magnet connected to the other end of the dipstick body. The dipstick body is sheet-shaped, and a connector is provided between the dipstick body and the magnet. The connector passes through the dipstick body and the magnet respectively and fixes the dipstick body and the magnet in a fixed connection.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this basic solution are as follows: by using a connector to fix the dipstick body and the magnet through the dipstick body, compared with the existing technology of directly embedding the magnet into the dipstick body, the deformation of the dipstick body caused by temperature rise and the resulting magnet falling off are avoided, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the dipstick and reducing the possibility of the magnet falling off and causing engine damage.

[0008] Preferably, the connector is a rivet. This design uses a rivet to pierce through the ruler body and the magnet, securing the ruler body and magnet together. This ensures reliable connection between the ruler body and the magnet under high-temperature conditions, while also improving assembly convenience and facilitating quality inspection, thus guaranteeing product quality.

[0009] Preferably, the magnet is ring-shaped. This design improves the assembly processability of the magnet.

[0010] Preferably, the dipstick body is made of a magnetically conductive material. This design allows the dipstick body to also possess a certain degree of magnetism under the influence of a magnet, thereby increasing the area on which the dipstick can attract metal debris and enhancing its adsorption function.

[0011] Preferably, a torsion reinforcement is provided on the dipstick body between the oil level metering indicator section and the operating section, and the dipstick surfaces on both sides of the torsion reinforcement are perpendicular to each other. This arrangement increases the overall rigidity of the dipstick body without increasing the amount of material used, thereby improving the structural stability of the dipstick.

[0012] Preferably, the end of the dipstick that connects to the magnet has a bend, so that the axis of the dipstick is aligned with the center of the magnet. This arrangement avoids the magnet protruding too much on one side of the dipstick, which could interfere with the insertion and removal of the dipstick.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Compared to existing technologies that directly embed magnets into the dipstick body, this solution avoids magnet detachment due to deformation of the dipstick body caused by temperature increases. This enhances the structural stability of the dipstick and reduces the likelihood of engine damage caused by magnet detachment. Furthermore, the dipstick's ability to attract metal debris is improved. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an engine oil dipstick according to the present invention;

[0016] Figure 2 for Figure 1AA sectional view. Detailed Implementation

[0017] As those skilled in the art know, the oil level markings on the dipstick are scale markings located on the dipstick body to facilitate users in quickly determining the specific location of the oil level.

[0018] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0019] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: operating part 1, scale body 2, twisted reinforcing part 21, connector 3, magnet 4.

[0020] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: An engine oil dipstick includes a dipstick body 2, one end of which is connected to an operating part 1. In this embodiment, the dipstick body 2 and the operating part 1 are snap-fitted together. The other end of the dipstick body 2 is connected to a magnet 4. In this embodiment, the dipstick body 2 is sheet-shaped. A connector 3 is provided between the dipstick body 2 and the magnet 4, and the connector 3 passes through both the dipstick body 2 and the magnet 4 to fix the dipstick body 2 and the magnet 4 together.

[0021] In this embodiment, the connector 3 is preferably a rivet, which facilitates assembly while ensuring the reliability of the connection between the magnet 4 and the dipstick body 2. In this embodiment, the magnet 4 is ring-shaped. More preferably, the dipstick body 2 is made of a magnetically conductive material, so that the dipstick body 2 also has a certain function of adsorbing metal debris under the action of the magnet 4, increasing the area for adsorbing metal debris and thus enhancing the dipstick's function of adsorbing metal debris. In this embodiment, the end of the dipstick body 2 connected to the magnet 4 forms a bend, so that the axis of the dipstick body 2 is aligned with the center of the magnet 4, so that the volume of the magnet 4 distributed on both sides of the dipstick body 2 is approximately equal. Compared with the magnet 4 being placed on one side of the dipstick body 2, this avoids the magnet 4 forming an excessively protruding structure on one side of the dipstick body 2, which would affect the insertion and removal of the dipstick.

[0022] In this embodiment, a torsion reinforcement 21 is provided on the dipstick body 2 between the oil level metering indicator section and the operating section 1. The dipstick surfaces on both sides of the torsion reinforcement 21 are perpendicular to each other, thereby increasing the overall rigidity of the dipstick body 2 without increasing the material usage, which is beneficial to enhancing the structural stability of the dipstick. In this embodiment, the torsion reinforcement 21 is preferably located in the middle of the dipstick body 2. In specific processing, the torsion reinforcement 21 can be formed by twisting the sheet-like dipstick body 2 90 degrees around the axis in the middle.

[0023] This design avoids the possibility of the magnet 4 falling off due to deformation of the dipstick body 2 caused by temperature rise, thus enhancing the structural stability of the dipstick and reducing the likelihood of engine damage caused by magnet 4 falling off. Furthermore, the dipstick's ability to attract metal debris is improved.

[0024] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model, and common knowledge such as specific structures and characteristics of the solution is not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
