Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air inlet / outlet plugs for automotive radiators, specifically an air inlet / outlet plug for automotive radiators. Background Technology
[0002] The radiator air vent plug is a crucial component of the cooling system, typically located at the highest point of the radiator or engine coolant passages. Its primary function is to expel air from the system, preventing air locks that can lead to engine overheating. To operate, open the plug when the engine is cold, start the engine and keep it idling until coolant flows out continuously without air bubbles, then tighten the plug to ensure the system is full. Additionally, it serves as the inlet for adding antifreeze. When changing the coolant, this plug must be opened to thoroughly bleed the system, ensuring smooth circulation and effectively maintaining the engine's normal operating temperature.
[0003] Car engines operate at high temperatures, requiring the cooling system to be pressurized to prevent boiling. The radiator pressure cap is a crucial valve for maintaining this pressure. However, if a user accidentally opens this cap while the engine is warm for inspection or topping up, the high pressure inside the system is released instantly. This causes the overheated coolant, which was previously suppressed by the high pressure, to immediately boil violently and vaporize, creating an unavoidable high-temperature spray that can cause severe burns. Even with existing devices featuring simple protective structures, their safety is still difficult to guarantee. Furthermore, during maintenance, the hot gas pressure needs to be released, but current devices typically rely on natural cooling, hindering the maintenance process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air plug for an automotive radiator to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a charging and discharging plug for an automotive radiator, comprising a radiator box, a one-way valve connected to the lower side of the radiator box, a pressure valve, a vacuum valve connected to the radiator box circuit, and a pressure relief valve connected to the upper side of the radiator box. The upper side of the radiator box is provided with a pressure-replacing and energy-relieving mechanism and a pressure-measuring and protection mechanism, and the pressure-measuring and protection mechanism is located on one side of the pressure-replacing and energy-relieving mechanism. The pressure-replacing and energy-relieving mechanism includes a rotating sleeve, which is rotatably and sealed to the upper side of the heat sink. A bracket is fixedly connected inside the rotating sleeve, and a sealing sleeve is rotatably and sealed to the upper side of the rotating sleeve. A tapered groove is formed inside the upper side of the sealing sleeve. A screw is threadedly connected inside the bracket, and a vent plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the screw. The vent plate is fixedly connected to the sealing sleeve, and a spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vent plate. A baffle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring and slidably connected to the outside of the screw. A sealing block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the screw, and the sealing block abuts against the tapered groove. A cap is threadedly connected to the upper side of the sealing sleeve, and multiple screw rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve.
[0006] Preferably, the breathable plate is configured as a rigid structure.
[0007] Preferably, the sealing block has a trapezoidal cross-section.
[0008] Preferably, the outer side of the baffle has multiple cuts.
[0009] Preferably, the pressure testing and protection mechanism includes a branch pipe, which is connected to one side of the heat dissipation box. A support cylinder is connected to the upper side of the branch pipe, and a support rim is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support cylinder. A sliding rod is slidably connected inside the support cylinder, and a convex plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding rod. An elastic element is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the convex plate. A screw cap is threaded to the outer wall of the support cylinder, and a base plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding rod.
[0010] Preferably, an annular support structure is fixedly connected to the lower side of the support cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, the convex plate is spaced from the upper inner wall of the support cylinder.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an air plug for charging and discharging automobile radiators, which has the following advantages: 1. The pressure-relieving mechanism is used to release the pressure inside the heat sink for easy maintenance. This mechanism uses a vent plate and a baffle as a pressure buffer structure to ensure that the device can discharge air pressure at a controllable and slow speed. At the same time, the spring allows the discharge air flow to be adaptively increased by releasing the spring pressure after the air pressure decreases. In conjunction with the bracket and the conical groove, the discharge air pressure is actively adjusted, so that the device can reduce the damage caused by air pressure carrying hot steam in a stable and controllable manner, thus improving the safety of the device.
[0013] 2. The pressure testing and protection mechanism is used to detect the air pressure status. This mechanism can prevent users from being injured due to residual heat inside the heat sink. The mechanism works with a raised plate and an elastic element. When the cover is opened, if the air pressure inside the heat sink is still dangerous, the air pressure will rush from inside the heat sink to the support cylinder and push up the raised plate, preventing the hot air from escaping. This allows users to clearly see the air pressure status inside the heat sink and avoids the risk of injury from opening the main cover rashly. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Example 1: Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a charging and discharging plug for an automotive radiator, including a radiator box 1, a one-way valve 2 connected to the lower side of the radiator box 1, a pressure valve 3, a vacuum valve 4 connected to the circuit of the radiator box 1, and a pressure relief valve 5 connected to the upper side of the radiator box 1. A pressure-replacing and energy-relieving mechanism 6 and a pressure-measuring and protection mechanism 7 are provided on the upper side of the radiator box 1, and the pressure-measuring and protection mechanism 7 is provided on one side of the pressure-replacing and energy-relieving mechanism 6. This mechanism is used to stably release the air pressure inside the heat sink 1. It solves the problem that traditional devices struggle to handle the high heat of the heat sink 1, hindering rapid maintenance. The pressure-replacing and energy-relieving mechanism 6 includes a rotating sleeve 601, which is rotatably and sealed to the upper side of the heat sink 1. A bracket 602 is fixedly connected inside the rotating sleeve 601. A sealing sleeve 603 is rotatably and sealed to the upper side of the rotating sleeve 601. A tapered groove 604 is formed inside the upper side of the sealing sleeve 603. A screw 605 is threadedly connected inside the bracket 602. A vent plate 606 is slidably connected to the outer wall of rod 605. The vent plate 606 is fixedly connected to the sealing sleeve 603. A spring 607 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vent plate 606. A baffle 608 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring 607. The baffle 608 is slidably connected to the outside of the screw rod 605. A sealing block 609 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the screw rod 605. The sealing block 609 abuts against the conical groove 604. A cap 610 is threadedly connected to the upper side of the sealing sleeve 603. Multiple screw rods 611 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the screw sleeve 601.
[0019] Furthermore, the breathable panel 606 is configured as a rigid structure.
[0020] Furthermore, the sealing block 609 has a trapezoidal cross-section.
[0021] Furthermore, multiple cuts are provided on the outer side of the baffle 608.
[0022] Example 2: Please see Figure 1-5 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, it is further obtained that the pressure testing and protection mechanism 7 includes a branch pipe 701, which is connected to one side of the heat dissipation box 1. A support cylinder 702 is connected to the upper side of the branch pipe 701. An eaves 703 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support cylinder 702. A slide rod 704 is slidably connected inside the support cylinder 702. A raised plate 705 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide rod 704. An elastic element 706 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the raised plate 705. A screw cap 707 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the support cylinder 702. A base plate 708 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slide rod 704.
[0023] Furthermore, an annular bracket 602 structure is fixedly connected to the lower interior of the support cylinder 702.
[0024] Furthermore, there is a gap between the convex plate 705 and the upper inner wall of the support cylinder 702.
[0025] In actual operation, when this device is in use, the radiator absorbs engine heat by absorbing hot water. The heat is accumulated through boiling and vaporization. The air pressure is balanced by transferring to the auxiliary box and releasing overpressure. When the user needs to perform emergency repairs due to a malfunction, the user can unscrew the cap 707. If the cap 707 is lifted up instantly, the air pressure inside the radiator box 1 is too high. The user can then close the opening and unscrew the cap 610. Subsequently, the user causes the sleeve 601 and the sealing sleeve 603 to rotate relative to each other, which causes the screw 605 to drive the sealing block 609 down, leaving space for the conical groove 604. At the same time, the air pressure lifts the baffle 608, causing the spring 607 to store energy. The gas is discharged through the gap of the baffle 608, and the discharge volume gradually increases as the air pressure decreases. The user can adjust the height of the sealing block 609 according to the air pressure discharge volume to increase the discharge volume, making the device maintenance safe and stable.
