Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil filter cleaner capable of simply removing the dust bonded to a bottomed cylindrical oil filter. SOLUTION: The oil filter cleaner is composed of a motor-operated drill 6 and the cleaning instrument 7 attached to the motor-operated drill 6 in a freely detachable manner and capable of being inserted into the oil filter and the wiping material of the rotated cleaning instrument 7 is brought into contact with the inner wall of the oil filter.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an oil filter cleaning apparatus, and more particularly to an oil filter cleaning apparatus suitable for a bottomed cylindrical oil filter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a hydraulic elevator, oil leaking from a hydraulic jack 1 is returned to an oil tank 3 by a return hose 2 as shown in FIG. In addition, a bottomed tubular and net-shaped oil filter 4 is installed in the middle of the return hose 2, and the leaked oil is passed from the inside to the outside of the bottomed tubular oil filter 4. The dust in the oil leak was removed.

Since the oil filter 4 is clogged by dust adhering to the inside thereof, a cleaning operation for removing the dust is always carried out regularly.

[0004]

However, the dust in the oil leakage leaking from the hydraulic jack is mostly fibrous dust, and when the fibrous dust gets caught in the net-shaped oil filter, the dust is removed from the oil. There is a problem that it is difficult to remove from the filter, and the cleaning time is long.

An object of the present invention is to provide an oil filter cleaning device which can solve the above problems with a simple structure.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an oil filter cleaning device for removing dust adhering to a bottomed cylindrical oil filter, which is detachably attached to an electric drill and a rotating shaft of the electric drill. And a cleaning tool that can be inserted into the oil filter.

According to this configuration, the cleaning tool can be rotated by rotating the electric drill. When the rotating cleaning tool is brought into contact with the inner wall of the oil filter, dust adhered to the inner wall adheres to the cleaning tool side and is pushed out to the outer periphery of the oil filter, and the dust is smoothly removed from the oil filter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, an oil filter cleaning device 5 includes an electric drill 6 and a rotating shaft 6 of the electric drill 6.
A, and a cleaning tool 7 detachably attached to A. As shown in FIG. 2, the cleaning tool 7 includes a cylindrical body 8 made of a synthetic resin, a wiping member 9 adhered to the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 8 using an adhesive, and the like. And a mounting bracket 10 detachably attached to the shaft 6A.

The mounting bracket 10 is screwed to an end 11A of a long screw 11 provided substantially at the center of the cylindrical body 8. A concave portion 8B is formed in the distal end surface 8A of the cylindrical body 8. The head 11B of the long screw 11 is located in the recess 8B, and the head 11B does not protrude beyond the tip end surface 8A of the cylindrical body 8. The wiping material 9 is made of a material which is elastic, easily catches dust, and easily absorbs oil.
The coating material used for the paint application roller is optimal.

[0011] The oil filter cleaning device 5 having the above configuration.
In order to clean the oil filter 4 according to FIG.
As shown in (1), a waste 13 is put in the shape-retaining container 12, and the oil filter 4 is installed in the waste 13. After inserting the cleaning tool 4 into the oil filter 4 in this state,
The electric drill 6 may be driven. The rotation speed of the electric drill 6 is set to 850 rpm.

When the electric drill 6 is driven, the cleaning tool 4 is rotated. By bringing the rotating cleaning tool 4 into contact with the inside of the oil filter 4, dust adhering to the oil filter 4 is partially removed. Since it is pushed out of the oil filter 4 and adheres to the rag 13 together with the oil, and the remaining part adheres to the wiping material 9 of the cleaning tool 7 together with the oil, it is removed in a short time. According to experiments, about 3
It has been found that the cleaning of the oil filter 4 can be completed within a cleaning operation time of less than one minute. Therefore, according to the oil filter cleaning device 5, the cleaning operation time can be reduced to about 1/3 or less of the conventional cleaning operation.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, a cleaning device for an oil filter which can greatly reduce the cleaning operation time and is easy to use and has a simple structure can be obtained.
