Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Object] An object of the present invention is to improve the visibility of the water level of a reserve tank for a radiator and to simplify the manufacture. [Structure] In a radiator reserve tank in which a water level detecting unit is integrally formed on a tank body made of synthetic resin, the water level detecting unit is a tubular body having a constricted portion on the tank body side, and the water level detecting unit is provided in the water level detecting unit. The float was inserted.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a radiator reserve tank installed in a vehicle radiator.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The radiator of the vehicle is equipped with a radiator reserve tank to replenish the cooling water.

Conventionally, in a radiator reserve tank, in order to detect the water level of the stored cooling water, a water level detection unit is integrally formed in the tank body (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-41623). Gazette, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-141827).

The float in the water level detector described in that publication is a float for detecting the concentration of the antifreeze liquid. Further, as a water level detection unit having a scale engraved, for example, there is Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-37629.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, generally, a reserve tank for a radiator is installed in an engine room. Therefore, it is difficult to see the water level, especially when installed in a place where light is difficult to enter.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a reserve tank for a radiator, which improves the visibility of the water level and is easy to manufacture.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a reserve tank for a radiator in which a water level detection unit is integrally formed on a tank body made of synthetic resin, and the water level detection unit is composed of a cylindrical body having a constricted portion on the tank body side. It is characterized in that a float is inserted in the detector.

[0008]

[Action]

 Even when the float inserted in the water level detector moves according to the vertical movement of the water level and light is difficult to enter, the movement of the float allows the water level to be clearly understood and the visibility to be improved.

The float can be inserted into the water level detection unit by integrally forming the water level detection unit in the tank main body and simply pushing the float from the constricted portion on the tank main body side to the water level detection unit side of the cylindrical body. , Easy to manufacture.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a reserve tank for a radiator according to the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a tank body made of transparent synthetic resin, and a water level detecting section 2 is integrally formed on the tank body 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the water level detection unit 2 is composed of a tubular body having a constricted portion 3 on the tank body 1 side. A spherical float 4 made of an independent foamed resin body that does not absorb water is inserted into the water level detection unit 2 which is formed of a tubular body having a constricted portion 3.

The float 4 is inserted into the water level detecting portion 2 by pushing it from the inside of the tank body 1 through the narrow constricted portion 3 into the water level detecting portion 2 made of a cylindrical body. At this time, in order to make it easier to push in, it is preferable to provide a part 5 in which a part of the constricted part 3 is widened as shown in FIG.

Although the float 4 is made of an independent foam resin body, wood products or other materials that float on water may be used. According to such a radiator reserve tank, the water level can be confirmed by the movement of the float 4 even in a place where light is difficult to enter, so that the visibility of the water level is improved. Moreover, since the water level detection unit 2 is formed of a tubular body having the constricted portion 3, the spherical float 4 made of an independent foamed resin body (elastic body) is used to pass the water level from the inside of the tank body 1 through the constricted portion 3. It can be easily inserted (pushed) into the detection unit 2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3 described above, if a part 5 of the constricted part 2 is widened, a float made of an inelastic wooden product can be easily inserted.

After the float 4 is once inserted into the water level detecting portion 2, the narrow constricted portion 3 prevents the float 4 from coming off. In this way, the float 4 can be provided in the water level detecting section 2 simply by inserting it into the water level detecting section 2, so that the production of such a reserve tank is simplified, and once the float 4 is inserted, , The water level detector 2 does not fall out.

If the float 4 is colored, the vertical movement of the float 4 becomes clearer and the visibility becomes more reliable.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention improves the visibility of the water level and simplifies manufacturing.
