Device for emptying used oil from internal combustion engines *

The object of the innovation is a device for emptying waste oil from combustion mitaren Motor vehicles.

It is well known that in all vehicle engines, depending on the type of Veriuendungsart in longer or shorter An oil change must be carried out at intervals. These oil changes are in the operating instructions set. The used oil is drained off while it is warm and new oil is poured in.

For discharging the used GI from the combustion engine the oil pan flanged at the bottom of the engine block is equipped with a screw bolt. After the motor vehicle has gone to work

the stage is driven, the screw bolt is unscrewed and collect the used oil in a container. The oil change should generally be carried out by car workshops or gas stations are made, ieil Here the fee is given, d & B daa waste oil cannot lead to environmental pollution.

Due to the fact that bBim buying engine oil in cans or similar Oil change containers for the motor vehicle owner is much cheaper than doing a workshop with him, many motor vehicle owners have started carry out the necessary oil change yourself. After solving the aog. Drain plug from the oil pan the used oil drained into a container. Often the question arises afterwards, wot.in with the waste oil. There are so-called collection points for used oil, but only a few motorists are aware of them should. Out of this ignorance and because some of the drivers are simply too comfortable, it happens very often that the waste oil is simply in the sewer is poured. This leads to environmental pollution (Grundijasser contamination) comes, should be out of the question.

For environmentally friendly and quick suction won waste oil, so-called waste oil suction vehicles have become known. With the help of this suction trolley an oil change can be carried out without using a lifting platform. In such devices, the waste oil is sucked off by means of a compressed air pump through the Peilst abö ff opening of the motor vehicle engine. the The pump is controlled by a ball valve. A vacuum meter shows the end of the suction process. the The suction hose has a suction probe at the end. at However, when using suction, the motor must have a special suction pipe, which goes down to the deepest Point of the oil pan is performed.

A suction of the used than is from above not given due to the lack of equipment, because the waste oil suction trolleys described above are used only used at car workshops or petrol stations.

In order to give every driver the opportunity to remove the used oil from the internal combustion engine in an environmentally friendly manner and in the so-called "do-ityDur-self" -l / experienced, the inventor has set himself the task of to disclose a device for emptying waste oil which can be easily handled by any driver.

The task at hand is achieved by a transportable extensometer equipped with a vacuum gauge, wabBi the same a flexible hose line with suction sand at the end 'jnd einp with it fRst or detachably connected, manually operable Vacuum pump.

According to the innovation, the container is available as a jug or. Canister with thin walls and made of plastic, light metal or copper.

The neck of the container merges into a kind of funnel when viewed upwards.

Another feature according to the innovation is to be seen in the fact that the vacuum pump at its upper end, a locking device inserted in the vessel with which the pump handle lock can use UDd.als carrying handle having _r.

The suction probe connected to the suction hose is equipped with a shut-off valve. The hose line as such is detachably connected to the container _? namely by means of a screw Dd. bayonet lock.

Finally it should be stated that the The container may have an emptying opening with a closure souiie can show a handle.

The following description serves to explain the subject after the innovation, from which one Embodiment is shown in the drawing.

In the drawing, the container is trained in the form of a Hanne.

In the upper area, the container 1 has a vacuum gauge 2 and a flexible piece of hose 3. This hose piece 3 has a suction probe k equipped with a shut-off valve 8 at its free end. With the container 1, the hose piece 3 is firmly or detachably connected. The detachable fastening can be done by means of a thread, bayonet lock or clamp.

In the neck part 1 ^{1 of} the container ', the vacuum pump 5 is inserted airtight. The pump 5 is a manually operated one. The pump handle can be used as a carrying handle. For this purpose, the pump 5 is designed with a type of lock 6. A web 7 of the dips into this lock G

PumpBngriffBB 7 ao that locked midBla Pump handle 7 represents container 1 can be lifted iat. It However, there is no possibility that the container even equipped with a handle.

The handling of the device according to the innovation iat the following:

The suction probe k is guided through the P'ail rod opening to the lowest point of the oil pan. After the shut-off valve has been opened, the used oil is sucked off via the air-operated pump 5. A vacuum meter 2 shows the end of the suction cycle.

In the drawing, the air inlet is PumpB 5 with A and the air outlet with B. The pump 5 is airtight in the neck piece 1 of the container B 1 and firmly but releasably connected. It should be superfluous to go into the principle of pump 5 in more detail, Because vacuum reciprocating pumps, this is what we are talking about here, ultimately, to the broad state of the art counting. After completion of the suction process, the pump handle 7 is pressed into its lowest position and by rotating, the ends of the web 7 snap into the lock 6 on the head of the pump 5.

The pump handle 7 can now be used as a handle so that the container can be transported by hand.

The emptying of the container filled with waste oil 1 can after removal of the vacuum pump 5 via the half-piece 1 or a The drain cock should be close to the bottom of the container.

The advantage over the known is that an old blower suction device has been created here, with the help of which every motorist makes the necessary oil change Can carry out environmentally friendly and quickly, without the hassle of opening the drain plug in the oil pan. The acquisition costs are seen in terms of the service life of the device relatively low. DiB device itself does not require any maintenance. Certain variations are given without being included having to leave the scope of the invention.
