Generally, an oil pump has only one safety valve to ensure the safety of the engine seals. In the field of engine oil pump assembly, the opening and closing pressure, sealing performance, and assembly precision of the safety valve directly affect the reliability and service life of the oil pump.
[0003] Currently, the assembly process of existing oil pumps mostly relies on manual pressing and manual inspection. Manual inspection is inefficient, risky, and prone to issues such as pressure leakage and misjudgment. Utility Model Content
