Description
본 발명은 자동차의 윤활장치에 관한 것이며, 특히 엔진오일 교체시기검사용 인디케이터에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a lubrication device for an automobile, and more particularly, to an indicator for testing engine oil replacement time.
자동차의 윤활장치는 기관의 작동을 원활하게 하고, 그 작동이 기관의 수명이 다할 때까지 오래 유지하기 위해 운동마찰부분에 엔진오일을 공급하는 장치이다.The lubricator of the vehicle is a device for supplying engine oil to the motion friction part in order to smooth the operation of the engine and to maintain the operation for a long time until the life of the engine.
엔진에는 실린더와 피스톤처럼 접동하는 부분이나, 크랭크 샤프트 및 캠샤프트와 같이 회전운동하는 부분이 있으며, 이러한 운동 마찰부분은 금속끼리 직접 접촉하여 마찰열이 발생하고, 마찰면이 거칠어져 빨리 마모하거나 눌어 붙는 등의 고장이 발생하여 엔진이 작동할 수 없는 상태에 이르게 된다.The engine has a sliding part such as a cylinder and a piston, or a rotational part such as a crank shaft and a cam shaft. These moving friction parts are in direct contact with metals to generate frictional heat, and the friction surface becomes rough, causing wear or pressing quickly. This can lead to a condition where the engine cannot run.
이것을 방지하기 위해 금속의 마찰면에 오일을 주입하면 그 사이에 유막이 형성되어 고체 마찰이 오일의 유체 마찰로 바뀐다. 따라서, 마찰 저항이 적어져 마모가 적고 마찰열에 의한 온도 상승을 방지하게 된다.In order to prevent this, oil is injected into the friction surface of the metal to form an oil film therebetween, thereby changing the solid friction into the fluid friction of the oil. Accordingly, the frictional resistance is reduced, the wear is less, and the temperature rise due to the frictional heat is prevented.
따라서, 엔진오일은 주기적으로 교환하여 오일의 양과 점성을 적절한 상태로 유지하여야 하며, 오일을 적절히 교환하지 않으면 윤활기능이 감소되어 엔진의 마모를 일으키는 원인이 된다.Therefore, the engine oil should be replaced periodically to maintain the proper amount and viscosity of the oil, and if the oil is not properly replaced, the lubrication function will be reduced, causing engine wear.
종래에는 오일팬에, 제1도의 (a),(b)에 도시된 바와 같이, 블레이드(2)와 손잡이(3) 및 커버(4)로 구성된 오일레벨 표시기(1)만이 설치되어 있어서 오일팬내의 오일의 양만을 측정할 수 있게 되어 있다. 따라서, 오일레벨 표시기에는 하단에 F(full)과 L(Los) 혹은 MAX, MIN 등의 표시가 되어 있다.Conventionally, in the oil pan, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 1, only the oil level indicator 1 composed of the blade 2, the handle 3, and the cover 4 is installed. Only the amount of oil in the oil can be measured. Therefore, the oil level indicator has F (full) and L (Los) or MAX, MIN, etc. at the bottom.
그러나, 엔진오일의 양뿐 아니라 엔진오일의 점성도 주기적으로 점검하여야 하나 현재 엔진오일의 점성을 검사할 수 있는 간단한 인디케이터가 개발되어 있지 않아 주로 육안 검사나 혹은 별도의 장비를 이용하여 검사하고 있는 실정이다.However, not only the amount of engine oil but also the viscosity of the engine oil should be checked periodically, but a simple indicator for checking the viscosity of the engine oil has not been developed at present, which is mainly inspected by visual inspection or by using separate equipment.
엔진오일의 점성을 확인할 수 없는 경우, 불필요하게 자주 엔진오일을 교환하여 낭비를 가져오거나, 혹은 엔진오일의 교환시키를 놓여 엔진에 마모를 가져올 우려가 크다.If the viscosity of the engine oil cannot be confirmed, there is a high possibility that wastefulness may be caused by exchanging the engine oil unnecessarily frequently, or wear of the engine may be caused by replacing the engine oil.
따라서, 종래의 오일레벨 표시기를 대체하여 엔진오일의 양과 동시에 점성도 검사할 수 있는 엔진오일 인디케이터가 개발된다면 편리할 것이다.Therefore, it would be convenient if an engine oil indicator was developed that could replace the conventional oil level indicator and could also check the amount and viscosity of the engine oil.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 엔진오일의 양과 점성을 동시에 측정할 수 있는 엔진오일 인디케이터를 제공하는 것이다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an engine oil indicator capable of simultaneously measuring the amount and viscosity of engine oil.

이에따라, 본 발명에 따른 인디케이터를 장착하므로써, 인디케이터의 상단에 설치된 투명창을 통하여 엔진오일의 교환시기를 알 수 있으므로, 불필요한 엔진오일의 교체로 엔진오일을 낭비하거나 혹은 엔진오일의 교체시기를 놓여 엔진오일의 점성이 감소하므로써 엔진을 마모시키는 것을 방지하여, 엔진의 수명을 연장할 수 있게 된다.Accordingly, by mounting the indicator according to the present invention, it is possible to know the replacement time of the engine oil through the transparent window installed on the top of the indicator, so that the engine oil is wasted by replacing unnecessary engine oil or the engine oil is replaced. By reducing the viscosity of the oil, it is possible to prevent the engine from wearing out, thereby extending the life of the engine.
이하, 첨부도면들을 참조하여 본 발명에 따른 엔진오일 인디케이터에 대해 보다 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, an engine oil indicator according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
제2도에 본 발명에 따른 엔진오일 인디케이터의 상세한 구성이 도시되어 있다.2 shows a detailed configuration of the engine oil indicator according to the present invention.
도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 인디케이터(10)는 원통형의 몸체(11)내에 바아형태의 리스머스시험지(12)를 설치하고, 몸체(11)의 상단에는 투명창(15)과 커버(15)를 설치하고, 몸체(11)의 하단에는 삼투압체(13)를 형성하여 구성된다.As shown, the indicator 10 according to the present invention is provided with a bar-shaped lithmus test paper 12 in the cylindrical body 11, the transparent window 15 and the cover 15 on the top of the body 11 ) Is installed, the lower end of the body 11 is formed by forming an osmotic body (13).
또한, 제3도에 상세히 도시한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 인디케이터(10)의 상단면에는 투명 플라스틱 등으로 제조된 투명창(15)이 형성되어 리스머스시험지(12)의 상단의 변색여부를 확인할 수 있도록 구성된다.In addition, as shown in detail in Figure 3, the upper surface of the indicator 10 according to the present invention is formed with a transparent window 15 made of a transparent plastic or the like whether the discoloration of the upper end of the lithmus test paper 12 It is configured to confirm.
본 발명에 따른 인디케이터(10)는 상술한 바와 같이 간단하게 구성되나, 엔진오일이 산성이며, 오일의 점성이 묽어지면 삼투압이 커져 상승높이가 증가하는 원리에 입각한 것이다.The indicator 10 according to the present invention is simply configured as described above, but the engine oil is acidic, and when the viscosity of the oil dilutes, the osmotic pressure is increased to increase the elevation height.
따라서, 리트머스시험지(12)의 높이를 엔진오일의 교환시기에 적합한 엔진오일의 점성상태와 일치시키므로써, 엔진오일의 점성이 일정치 이하로 감소하면 엔진오일이 리트머스시험지(12)의 상단까지 물들이게 되어 인디케이터(10)의 상단의 투명창(15)을 통해 리트머스시험지(12)가 묽은색으로 변색된 것을 확인하여 엔진오일의 교환시기를 알 수 있도록 구성되어 있다.Therefore, by matching the height of the litmus test paper 12 with the viscosity state of the engine oil suitable for the replacement time of the engine oil, when the viscosity of the engine oil decreases below a certain value, the engine oil is stained to the top of the litmus test paper 12. This is to confirm that the litmus test paper 12 discolored through a transparent window (15) of the upper end of the indicator 10 to change the engine oil replacement time.
따라서, 본 발명에서 리트머스시험지(12)는 상단의 변색여부만을 확인하는 것으로 충분하므로, 리트머스시험지(12)는, 제2도에 도시된 바와 같이, 투명창(15)의 하부로부터 삼투압체까지 형성할 필요는 없으며, 상단만을 리트머스 시험지로 구성하고 리트머스시험지(12)까지 삼투압체(13)를 연장하여 형성할 수 있다.Therefore, in the present invention, since the litmus test paper 12 is sufficient to check only the discoloration of the upper end, the litmus test paper 12 is formed from the lower portion of the transparent window 15 to the osmotic body as shown in FIG. It is not necessary to form only the upper end of the litmus test paper and may be formed by extending the osmotic body 13 to the litmus test paper 12.
또한, 인디케이터(10)의 하단에는 종래와 같이 오일레벨을 표시하도록 구성하여, 엔진오일의 레벨을 표시하는 오일레벨 표시기로서도 사용할 수 있다.In addition, the lower end of the indicator 10 is configured to display the oil level as conventionally, it can be used as an oil level indicator for displaying the level of the engine oil.
따라서, 본 발명에 따른 인디케이터를 장착하므로써, 인디케이터의 투명창(15)을 통하여 용이하게 엔진오일의 교환시기를 알 수 있으므로, 불필요한 엔진오일의 교체로 엔진오일을 낭비하거나 혹은 엔진오일의 교체시기를 놓여 엔진오일의 점성이 감소하므로써 엔진을 마모시키는 것을 방지하여, 엔진의 수명을 연장할 수 있게 된다.Therefore, by mounting the indicator according to the present invention, it is possible to easily know the replacement time of the engine oil through the transparent window 15 of the indicator, it is possible to waste the engine oil or to replace the engine oil by replacing the unnecessary engine oil By reducing the viscosity of the engine oil, it is possible to prevent the engine from abrasion and to prolong the life of the engine.
이상에서 본 발명의 구체적인 일 실시예를 상세히 설명하였으나, 본 발명은 이에 한정되는 것은 아니며, 이 분야의 통상의 지식을 가진 자라면 본 발명의 기술적 사상을 바탕으로 다양한 변경과 수정이 가능할 것이다.Although one specific embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art based on the technical idea of the present invention.
