Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of engine components and relates to an anti-splash oil pan. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern transportation, especially the advancement of the automotive industry, the engine, as a core component of a vehicle, directly affects the overall operating efficiency and service life of the vehicle. In engine design and manufacturing, the oil pan, as a key component for storing lubricating oil, plays an indispensable role. The oil pan is typically located at the bottom of the engine, and its main function is to collect and store the lubricating oil flowing back from the various friction surfaces of the engine, and to provide a stable oil supply to the oil pump. This ensures effective lubrication between the moving parts inside the engine, reduces wear, and extends engine life.

[0003] Traditional engine oil pan designs typically employ a simple box structure. While this design meets basic oil storage needs, problems become apparent in practical applications, especially when driving on rough roads. When a vehicle travels on uneven surfaces, the oil in the oil pan experiences violent agitation and splashing due to vehicle vibration and tilting, resulting in extremely uneven oil distribution. Because the oil cannot maintain a relatively stable state, the oil pump may fail to draw enough oil to supply the engine, thus affecting engine lubrication and increasing the risk of wear on mechanical components. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-splash oil pan, which adopts a brand-new internal structure design that can effectively solve the problem of insufficient oil pumping caused by oil splashing inside the oil pan.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anti-splash oil pan, including an oil pan shell with an open top. A baffle plate is provided in the lower part of the oil pan shell, and a gap is left between the lower side of the baffle plate and the bottom of the oil pan shell. Oil guiding gaps are left between the two opposite sides of the baffle plate and the inner wall of the oil pan shell. Multiple crisscrossing anti-splash vertical plates are arranged upward inside the oil pan shell. The bottom and side of each anti-splash vertical plate are connected to the baffle plate and the oil pan shell, respectively. The crisscrossing anti-splash vertical plates divide the oil pan shell into multiple oil storage compartments. An oil drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the oil pan shell outward. The inner wall of the oil drain pipe has internal threads, and an oil drain bolt is threaded to the oil drain pipe. The oil drain bolt extends out of the oil drain pipe and is provided with a bolt knob.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the oil in the oil pan is agitated due to vehicle bumps, the oil can only agitate slightly in the oil reservoir divided by the anti-splash vertical plate. This ensures that the oil pump's suction pipe is always submerged in oil. Furthermore, as the oil agitates and moves between the oil reservoirs, the oil guide hole acts as a damping energy dissipation mechanism, further reducing oil agitation and splashing. This effectively solves the problem of insufficient oil pumping caused by oil agitation and splashing in the oil pan. At the same time, impurities mixed in with the oil during lubrication can settle to the bottom of the oil pan through the oil guide gap along the baffle plate, making it less likely for them to return to the top of the baffle plate. Additionally, the generated metal debris can be attracted by the magnetic head on the drain plug, effectively preventing impurities from being drawn into the lubrication system along with the oil and preventing impurities from accelerating the wear of parts.

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

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the baffle plate is in the shape of an inverted V with both sides pointing downwards toward the corresponding oil guide gap.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that each anti-splash vertical plate is provided with several oil guide holes.

[0010] The present invention is further provided that the drain bolt is provided with a magnetic head at one end inside the oil pan housing.

[0011] The present invention is further provided that a sealing rubber ring is provided on one side of the bolt knob to cover the drain bolt.

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

[0013] Firstly, the oil pan housing is divided into several smaller spaces by the anti-splash vertical plate, which can effectively reduce oil sloshing. In addition, the oil guide holes on the anti-splash vertical plate can dampen the energy when the oil sloshes through, further reducing oil sloshing and splashing, and effectively solving the problem of insufficient oil pumping caused by oil sloshing and splashing in the oil pan.

[0014] Secondly, impurities mixed in with the engine oil during the lubrication process can be deposited at the bottom of the oil pan through the oil guide gap along the baffle plate. Metal debris can be attracted by the magnetic head on the drain plug, which can effectively prevent impurities from being pumped into the lubrication system along with the oil and prevent impurities from aggravating the wear of parts.

[0019] The present invention provides a splash-proof oil pan with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention. The same or similar reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar parts.

[0020] Example, refer to Figure 1-3 An anti-splash oil pan includes an oil pan housing 1 with an open top. An upper mounting edge 2 is provided around the upper edge of the oil pan housing 1, and multiple upper mounting holes 3 are provided through the upper mounting edge 2. A baffle plate 4 is provided in the lower part of the oil pan housing 1. A gap is left between the lower side of the baffle plate 4 and the bottom of the oil pan housing 1. An oil guide gap 5 is left between the two opposite sides of the baffle plate 4 and the inner wall of the oil pan housing 1, allowing oil to enter and exit below the baffle plate 4. The baffle plate 4 is in an inverted V shape with both sides pointing downwards towards the corresponding oil guide gap 5, allowing heavier impurities in the oil to fall into the bottom of the oil pan housing 1 along the inclination of the baffle plate 4.

[0021] The oil pan housing 1 has multiple crisscrossing anti-splash vertical plates 6 arranged upwards. The bottom and side edges of each anti-splash vertical plate 6 are connected to the baffle plate 4 and the oil pan housing 1, respectively. The crisscrossing anti-splash vertical plates 6 divide the oil pan housing 1 into multiple oil storage cells. The oil storage cells divide the oil pan housing 1 into multiple smaller spaces, which can effectively reduce oil sloshing. In addition, each anti-splash vertical plate 6 has several oil guide holes 7, which allows the oil to flow freely between the oil storage cells. When the oil sloshes and shuttles between the oil storage cells, the oil guide holes 7 can play a role in damping and dissipating energy, further reducing oil sloshing and splashing.

[0022] An oil drain pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the oil pan housing 1. The inner wall of the oil drain pipe 8 has internal threads. An oil drain bolt 9 is threaded to the oil drain pipe 8. A bolt knob 10 is provided on the oil drain pipe 8. A sealing rubber ring 11 is provided on one side of the bolt knob 10 to cover the oil drain bolt 9. A magnetic head 12 is provided at one end of the oil drain bolt 9 inside the oil pan housing 1. The magnetic head 12 can attract metal debris mixed in the engine oil.

[0023] Working principle: When the vehicle bumps and the oil in the oil pan housing 1 is agitated, the oil can only be agitated slightly in the oil reservoir divided by the anti-splash vertical plate 6. This ensures that the oil pump's suction pipe is always submerged in oil. As the oil agitates and moves between the oil reservoirs, the oil guide hole 7 acts as a damping and energy-dissipating mechanism, further reducing oil agitation and splashing. This effectively solves the problem of insufficient oil pumping caused by oil agitation and splashing in the oil pan. At the same time, impurities mixed in with the oil during the lubrication process can settle to the bottom of the oil pan housing 1 through the oil guide gap 5 along the baffle plate 4, making it difficult for them to return to the top of the baffle plate 4. The generated metal debris can be attracted by the magnetic head 12 on the drain plug 9, effectively preventing impurities from being drawn into the lubrication system along with the oil and preventing impurities from aggravating the wear of parts.

[0024] It should also be noted that all terms such as "set up" and similar descriptive words in this application (especially the specification) indicate that two structures have or exist a connection relationship. 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.

[0025] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
