[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an oil cooler with a thermostat, comprising a condenser core 1, a lower left bracket upper and lower plate assembly 2 fixedly installed on one side of the condenser core 1, and a self-tapping screw 3 threadedly connecting the lower left bracket upper and lower plate assembly 2 to the condenser core 1, thereby installing and fixing the lower left bracket upper and lower plate assembly 2. A left upper bracket 4 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the lower left bracket upper and lower plate assembly 2. An inlet and outlet liquid connector assembly 5 is fixedly installed on the other side of the condenser core 1 for connecting the input and output pipes of the coolant. These connectors, through their connection with the condenser body, enable the circulation of coolant. Furthermore, an oil coolant inlet and outlet liquid connector assembly 6 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the other side of the condenser core 1 to control the inlet and outlet flow of coolant, ensuring the normal operation of the condenser and its heat exchange efficiency.

[0023] The oil coolant inlet / outlet connector assembly 6 includes a connector housing 61, a spring 62 is fixedly installed inside the connector housing 61, a piston 63 is fixedly installed at one end of the spring 62, and a thermostat 64 is fixedly installed inside the piston 63. When the oil coolant enters or exits, it pushes the piston 63, thereby compressing the spring 62.

[0024] A plug 65 is fixedly installed on one side of the thermostat 64. An elastic retaining ring 66 is fitted on the outer surface of the plug 65, and a sealing ring 67 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the plug 65.

[0025] A second plug 68 is fixedly installed on one side of the connector housing 61, and a pan head screw 69 is inserted through the inside of the second plug 68;

[0026] The sealing ring 67 is O-shaped and seals the space between the plug 65 and the connector housing 61. The pan head screw 69 is a cross-head pan head screw.

[0027] Working principle: The thermostat 64 inside the connector housing 61 automatically adjusts the flow of oil into the transmission based on the oil temperature to ensure the engine operates within a suitable temperature range. This solves the problem of high internal oil temperatures during engine operation, which increases fuel consumption, damages the engine, and reduces its lifespan. It also increases the space available in the engine compartment.
