Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of engine components and relates to a preheating oil pan. Background Technology

[0002] In the design and application of internal combustion engines, the oil pan, as a crucial component, plays a vital role in storing lubricating oil. The oil pan not only ensures lubrication between various internal engine components but also dissipates heat from high-speed mechanical parts through a circulation system, preventing damage caused by overheating. However, in low-temperature environments, traditionally designed oil pans face severe challenges. When the outside temperature drops to -10°C or even lower, the viscosity of the oil in the oil pan increases significantly, and its fluidity decreases. This directly leads to difficulty starting the engine, and at the same time, the oil pump's supply of oil to the engine's friction surfaces becomes inadequate, increasing the risk of mechanical wear and shortening the engine's lifespan.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies typically employ external heaters to preheat the oil pan. Specifically, these heating devices are installed on the outer wall of the oil pan, indirectly raising the temperature of the internal engine oil by heating the outer shell. However, this method has significant limitations. Due to low heat transfer efficiency, the preheating time is long, failing to rapidly raise the engine oil's operating temperature to a suitable range, thus affecting the engine's immediate starting performance and operating efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a preheating oil pan that can rapidly heat the lubricating oil inside the oil pan, effectively shortening the preheating time to meet the needs of rapid engine start-up.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a preheating oil pan, including an oil pan with openings at both the upper and lower ends. The lower end of the oil pan is detachably connected to a bottom cover. The upper end of the bottom cover is provided with an upward-facing support seat inside the oil pan. An electric heating plate is provided at the upper end of the support seat. An electric heating wire arranged in a serpentine pattern is provided inside the electric heating plate. Multiple heat-conducting fins are provided on the outer side of the electric heating plate. A power connector is provided at the bottom of the bottom cover. The electric heating wire passes through the support seat and is electrically connected to the power connector. The bottom cover has an oil drain hole. An oil drain pipe communicating with the oil drain hole is provided downward at the lower end of the bottom cover. The inner wall of the oil drain pipe has internal threads. An oil drain bolt is threadedly connected to the oil drain pipe. The oil drain bolt extends out of the oil drain pipe and has a bolt head.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lubricating oil in the oil pan becomes viscous due to low temperature, the electric heating wire is energized to raise the temperature, which in turn raises the temperature of the electric heating plate. The heat-conducting fins quickly heat the lubricating oil in the oil pan, and impurities generated in the lubricating oil settle to the bottom of the oil pan. Due to the obstruction of the electric heating plate, they are not easily carried by the lubricating oil to the transmission mechanism through the circulation system, thus preventing impurities from mixing into the lubricating oil and damaging the internal structure of the engine.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that an upper mounting edge is provided on the upper edge of the oil pan, and a plurality of upper mounting holes are provided through the upper mounting edge.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the lower edge of the oil pan is provided with a lower mounting edge, and a plurality of lower mounting holes are provided through the lower mounting edge; the edge of the bottom cover is provided with a plurality of connecting holes corresponding to the lower mounting holes; and the bottom cover and the lower end of the oil pan are connected by connecting bolts passing through the corresponding lower mounting holes and the corresponding connecting holes.

[0009] The present invention is further provided with a rubber sealing ring at the upper end of the bottom cover edge that cooperates with the lower mounting edge.

[0010] The present invention is further provided that a sealing rubber ring is provided on one side of the bolt head to cover the drain bolt.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the electric heating plate and each heat-conducting fin are made of polyimide material.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] Firstly, this utility model utilizes an electric heating plate to rapidly heat the lubricating oil inside the oil pan, and the heat-conducting fins can further shorten the preheating time to meet the requirements of rapid engine start-up.

[0014] Secondly, by setting up an electric heating plate, this utility model prevents impurities that settle at the bottom of the lubricating oil from being carried into the transmission mechanism by the circulation system, thus preventing impurities from mixing into the lubricating oil and damaging the internal structure of the engine.

[0020] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the preheating oil pan proposed in this utility model. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, used only to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model. The same or similar reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar parts.

[0021] Example, refer to Figure 1-4 A preheating oil pan includes an oil pan 1 with openings at both the top and bottom. The upper edge of the oil pan 1 is provided with an upper mounting edge 2, through which multiple upper mounting holes 3 are opened. The lower edge of the oil pan 1 is provided with a lower mounting edge 4, through which multiple lower mounting holes 5 are opened. A bottom cover 6 is detachably connected to the lower end of the oil pan 1. The edge of the bottom cover 6 is provided with multiple connecting holes 7 corresponding to the lower mounting holes 5. A rubber sealing ring 8 that mates with the lower mounting edge 4 is provided at the upper edge of the bottom cover 6. The bottom cover 6 and the lower end of the oil pan 1 are connected by connecting bolts passing through the corresponding lower mounting holes 5 and the corresponding connecting holes 7.

[0022] The upper end of the bottom cover 6 is provided with a support base 9 inside the oil pan 1. A horizontally arranged electric heating plate 10 is provided at the upper end of the support base 9. A serpentine electric heating wire 11 is provided inside the electric heating plate 10. Multiple heat-conducting fins 12 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the electric heating plate 10. The electric heating plate 10 and each heat-conducting fin 12 are made of polyimide material. Polyimide material has good insulation and good thermal conductivity. A connector 13 is provided at the bottom of the bottom cover 6. The electric heating wire 11 passes through the support base 9 and is electrically connected to the connector 13, and is connected to an external power source through the connector 13.

[0023] The bottom cover 6 has an oil drain hole 14. At the lower end of the bottom cover 6, an oil drain pipe 15 is provided downward at the oil drain hole 14 and communicates with it. The inner wall of the oil drain pipe 15 has internal threads. An oil drain bolt 16 is threadedly connected to the oil drain pipe 15. The oil drain bolt 16 extends out of the oil drain pipe 15 and has a bolt head 17. A sealing rubber ring 18 is provided on one side of the bolt head 17 to cover the oil drain bolt 16. When it is necessary to change the engine oil or remove sludge, the oil drain bolt 16 can be removed through the bolt head 17 to drain the engine oil in the oil pan 1.

[0024] Working principle: When the lubricating oil in the oil pan becomes viscous due to low temperature, the electric heating wire 11 is energized and heated, which in turn heats the electric heating plate 10. The heat-conducting fins 12 quickly heat the lubricating oil in the oil pan. Impurities generated in the lubricating oil settle to the bottom of the oil pan 1. Due to the obstruction of the electric heating plate 10, they are not easily carried by the lubricating oil to the transmission mechanism through the circulation system, thus preventing impurities from mixing into the lubricating oil and damaging the internal structure of the engine.

However, the specific means by which the two are connected are not limited in detail, and are usually conventional connection methods. That is, the means should be understood as prior art and do not need to be elaborated. For example, "m is set up with n" only indicates that structure m has structure n, and whether the two are connected by welding, riveting, adhesive, or integral molding is within the scope of protection of this application. Similarly, "x is rotatably set up with y" only indicates that y and x can rotate relative to each other, and whether the two are connected by a bearing, or whether y directly passes through x and is rotatably connected to x, or other feasible methods, are all within the scope of protection of this application.
