ある。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the ATF switching device of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an ATF exchange device according to the present invention. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container. The container 1 is a hollow cylindrical body that can be hermetically sealed, is filled with ATF, has an openable and closable lid 2 on an upper portion thereof, and is provided with a supply pipe through the lid 2 from outside. 3 and a collection pipe 4 are attached. The supply pipe 3
An opening at one end thereof is located near the bottom in the container 1 and is disposed along the container side surface 5.
Is attached. A cock 7 is attached to the upper part of the recovery pipe 4 in the same manner as the supply pipe 3, and a check valve 8 for preventing a backflow of the waste oil is mounted inside the recovery pipe 4.
A bag 9 for accommodating waste oil is detachably attached to a lower end of the bag. The bag 9 is oil-resistant and easily expandable, with its internal capacity increasing by a slight force, and is preferably made of synthetic rubber, soft vinyl, or the like.

1 with transparent collection hose 12 and supply hose 13
, The supply pipe 3 and the recovery pipe 4 are connected to the flow path D connected to an oil cooler (not shown) of the radiator C. The flow path D leads from the outlet D1 of the automatic transmission A to the inlet C1 of the oil cooler via the hose D2, and from the outlet C2 of the oil cooler to the inlet D4 of the automatic transmission A via the hose D3. The connection is cut off at any point of the flow path D, the recovery hose 12 is connected to the high pressure side, and the supply hose 13 is connected to the low pressure side. In addition, the supply hose 13 is connected to a small-diameter nozzle hose at the tip thereof,
This may be inserted into the filler tube E of the automatic transmission A. Then, the cocks 6 and 7 are opened, the engine B is started, and the oil pump in the automatic transmission A is driven. Thus, the waste oil flows into the bag 9, whereby the bag 9 expands, and the pressure causes the new oil in the container 1 to be pushed out from the supply pipe 3 and moved into the circulation passage D via the recovery hose 13. . And when the waste oil is completely replaced with new oil,
Since the color of the ATF in the collection hose 12 changes from waste oil color to new oil color, when this color change is confirmed, the oil pump in the automatic transmission A is stopped and the connected collection hose 12
Then, the supply hose 13 is removed, the lid 2 is opened, and the bag 9 containing waste oil is removed and discarded.
