Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive coolant technology, specifically to a storage device for automotive coolant. Background Technology

[0002] Coolant is the heat transfer medium that circulates in the engine cooling system, and it has multiple functions such as antifreeze, cooling, corrosion prevention, and scale prevention.

[0003] Most coolant storage tanks on the market currently use a fixed capacity design. Small repair shops may need to frequently replenish small batches of coolant, while large fleets or 4S stores need to store large quantities for a long time. The fixed capacity design cannot be flexibly switched, resulting in resource waste in small capacity scenarios and frequent replenishment in large capacity scenarios. It is impossible to adjust the storage volume according to actual needs. In order to meet different needs, multiple capacity tanks need to be stocked, which increases the difficulty and cost of inventory management. To address these issues, we propose an automotive coolant storage device. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 A device for storing automotive coolant includes: a tank 1, wherein an adjusting component 2 and a limiting mechanism 3 are respectively provided inside the tank 1.

[0024] The limiting mechanism 3 includes a baffle 31 slidably disposed within the inner cavity of the tank 1, a connecting shaft 36 rotatably connected to the tank 1, and a fixed cylinder 34 fixedly installed on the top surface of the inner cavity of the tank 1. A movable cylinder 33 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the baffle 31, and the movable cylinder 33 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 34. An embedded nut 37 is embedded in the inner surface of the movable cylinder 33. A lead screw 35 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting shaft 36, and the lead screw 35 is also threadedly connected to the embedded nut 37. The movable cylinder 33 is located inside the fixed cylinder 34, and the lead screw 35 is located inside the movable cylinder 33. A convex ring 38 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the movable cylinder 33, and a retaining ring 39 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the fixed cylinder 34. The convex ring 38 is located above the retaining ring 39. The outer surface of the movable cylinder 33... The retaining ring 39 is provided with a protruding ridge and a groove that mates with the protruding ridge. The retaining ring 39 contacts the outer surface of the moving cylinder 33. Therefore, when the moving cylinder 33 slides up and down, the retaining ring 39 can be used to scrape off the residual automotive coolant on the outer surface of the moving cylinder 33 to prevent the automotive coolant from entering the interior and corroding the threads on the surface of the lead screw 35. A rubber ring 32 is fixedly provided on the side of the baffle 31 that contacts the inner wall of the tank 1. The inner wall of the tank 1 is smoothed, and the outer diameter of the baffle 31 matches the inner diameter of the tank 1, forming a very small gap between them. This tight fit can be used to prevent leakage, while the rubber ring 32 can be used as a seal to further fill the small gap between the baffle 31 and the tank 1 and enhance the sealing effect.

[0025] The adjusting assembly 2 includes a turntable 21 fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting shaft 36 and a friction plate 25 fixedly installed on the top surface of the tank 1. A threaded sleeve 23 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the turntable 21. A bolt 22 is threaded inside the threaded sleeve 23. A stop block 24 is fixedly installed through the lower end of the turntable 21 by the bolt 22. The friction plate 25 has a ring structure design, and the axis of the friction plate 25 coincides with the axis of the turntable 21. The side of the friction plate 25 adjacent to the stop block 24 is provided with a first friction pattern composed of small protrusions. The bottom surface of the stop block 24 is provided with a second friction pattern composed of small grooves. When the bolt 22 is tightened so that the stop block 24 and the friction plate 25 are in close contact, the first friction pattern can cooperate with the second friction pattern to generate friction.

[0026] Working principle: Rotating the bolt 22, which is threadedly connected to the turntable 21 via the threaded sleeve 23, creates a gap between the abutment 24 at the lower end of the bolt 22 and the friction plate 25. Rotating the turntable 21 then causes the lead screw 35, which is fixedly connected to the turntable 21 via the connecting shaft 36, to rotate together. The lead screw 35 is threadedly connected to the embedded nut 37 inside the moving cylinder 33. The moving cylinder 33 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 34, which is fixed to the top cover of the tank 1, via its surface protrusions. Therefore, the rotation of the lead screw 35 drives the moving cylinder. The rubber ring 32 at the lower end of the body 33 and the moving cylinder 33 slides inside the tank 1, thereby changing the size of the upper cavity of the tank 1 and thus changing the capacity of the tank 1. Finally, the bolt 22 is tightened so that the abutment 24 at its lower end is in close contact with the friction plate 25 embedded in the surface of the top cover of the tank 1. Since the friction plate 25 has friction textures formed by small protrusions on its surface, it can cooperate with several small grooves on the bottom surface of the abutment 24. After the two are in close contact, a certain friction force can be formed, which restricts the rotation of the turntable 21 and thus locks the overall structure.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
