The present invention relates to an oil changer for exchanging oil in an automatic transmission and a power steering system of a differential vehicle, and an oil change method using the same. More specifically, the oil filled in the automatic transmission system can be exchanged regardless of the vehicle type. Of course, the present invention relates to an oil changer for automobiles and an oil change method using the same, which may be applied to oil change of a power steering system.

In general, the automatic transmission system of a vehicle is a device that receives the power from the engine to change the rotational speed and rotational force of the output shaft, the oil in the oil pan is sucked into the oil pump and supplied to the torque converter from the torque converter through the oil cooler It is a device that transmits power through oil (fluid) through the main shaft and the load by the torque converter while continuously circulating the process back to the oil pan and automatically shifts according to the load variation. The oil pan of the automatic transmission varies depending on the vehicle type, but there are about 30 to 50% of the oil in the automatic transmission system.

In such an automatic transmission, the oil circulated therein needs to be replaced as it is deteriorated or aged as it is used. The altered or aged oil is exchanged using an oil exchanger. The oil changer related to this technology is connected and installed as shown in FIG. 1, and the oil changer is connected to the input / output adapters 82 and 84 between the torque converter TC and the oil cooler OC, which form the automatic transmission AT. After connecting the input / output coupler of (10) and driving the automatic transmission (AT) through the engine of the vehicle, the oil in the automatic transmission (AT) is discharged to the oil exchanger (10) through the torque converter (TC) , After a certain amount of oil is discharged, the oil in the new oil tank of the oil exchanger 10 is supplied to the oil cooler OC to be replaced. The new oil supplied in this way is the oil exchange is completed when circulated through the oil cooler (OC), oil pan (F), oil pump (P) and torque converter (TC).

Therefore, since waste oil and new oil are diluted and discharged from the oil pan of the automatic transmission (AT), even if the oil is exchanged using a lot of oil, the exchange efficiency is inevitably decreased, which causes a large amount of new oil loss. In a vehicle having no oil level gauge hole or a difficult connection of an input / output coupler to the input / output adapter, there is a problem that it is difficult to change the oil as well as to accurately check the amount of oil change.

In particular, when the input / output coupler is connected to the input / output coupler of the automatic transmission (AT) interchangeably, the operator sees and reads the flow of oil and stops the engine, and then changes the input / output coupler again to connect the flow of oil. The worker had to carry out the work with special attention.

However, in the utility model as described above, when fresh oil is injected into the automatic transmission after discharging the waste oil in the automatic transmission, the fresh oil is injected into both the supply and discharge lines of the oil changer, and thus the oil discharged by the oil pump of the automatic transmission. There was a problem that the noise is generated in the oil pump of the automatic transmission due to the collision between the pressure and the supply pressure of the new oil supplied from the oil pump of the oil changer side.

In particular, the oil exchanger may be connected to the power steering system as it is, oil exchange may be performed, but since the oil discharge pressure is 6 to 8 kg / cm 2 in the oil pump of the oil changer, Damage to the system can not be applied as it is, due to this has to be equipped with a separate oil changer for oil exchange of the power steering system, there was an end to increase the burden of equipment purchase.

In addition, the external container and the external electronic balance are provided to use the oil of various automatic transmissions according to the vehicle type, but this is an oil injection connection hose for connecting the external container to the oil change device, and the external electronic balance. The cable had to be stored separately, which caused the inconvenience of losing or attaching each time it was used.

The present invention has been researched and developed in order to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of which is to provide a three-way valve in the line for changing the direction of the oil, respectively, and control the three-way valve by the respective electric actuator of the oil changer The number of components can be simplified and can be automatically controlled, and the oil filled in the automatic transmission system can be adjusted appropriately through the work environment of each type of automatic transmission, that is, through input / output adapters and level gauge holes.

The step of checking the weight of the waste oil container and the new oil container, respectively, after performing the first "oil exchange" to "set amount exchange" with new oil of low cost, replaces it with new oil of high quality (high quality) on the electronic scale again and operates the operation panel. This can be done by pressing the "Freshing Oil Change" key on the top of the screen, setting the oil change amount, and then pressing the "Start" key.Then, the waste oil of the automatic transmission immediately without the process of collecting the waste oil sample on the sight glass, the initial process of the oil change operation. If the weight of the waste oil container is continuously increased by the incoming waste oil and there is no change for a specified time, all the oil in the fan of the automatic transmission is discharged and the oil pump of the automatic transmission is operated. Micom recognizes that no abnormal oil is being discharged, and Micom remembers the discharge oil amount as “primary waste oil discharge amount”. It may be made of a step of storing.

And the oil replacement method using the level gauge hole of the automatic transmission comprises the steps of checking the weight of the waste oil container and the new oil container by pressing the "gauge oil exchange" key, set the oil exchange amount and then press the "start" key; At this stage, if the actual value of the waste oil in the waste oil container is higher than the upper limit programmed in the microcomputer, the error message "Out of waste container" is output and after emptying the waste container, press the "Gauge Oil Exchange" key again to proceed or If the actual value of new oil within is lower than the lower limit programmed in the microcomputer, an error message of "new low oil" is output and the new oil container is replaced or refilled with new oil, and then pressing the "gauge oil exchange" key again from the beginning to proceed; If there is no problem in the weight of the new oil container and the waste oil container, the oil pump is operated so that the waste oil sucked from the automatic transmission is discharged into the waste oil container through the sight glass, and then the oil is discharged into the waste oil container through the sight glass. Collecting a waste oil sample into a glass; In this step, as the oil is discharged into the waste oil container through the sight glass, the weight of the waste oil container continuously increases, and if there is no change for a specified time, the microcomputer recognizes that the oil in the oil pan of the automatic transmission is not discharged. Stopping and removing the waste oil by stopping the oil pump after the microcomputer stores and stores the discharge oil amount; After the oil pump is operated again, injecting fresh oil in the new oil container as much as the discharged amount of waste oil stored in the microcomputer of the oil exchanger, stopping the oil pump to stop the new oil supply; After injecting fresh oil as much as the amount of waste oil discharged in the above stage, the engine is operated and the engine waits for a specified time so that the oil circulates and dilutes in the automatic transmission, and checks the fresh oil injection amount and the set amount. Operating and injecting oil from the oil changer again and repeating the process of injecting the new oil into the automatic transmission to inject as much as the set amount; When the new oil is injected as much as the set amount in the above step is characterized in that the oil pump is operated to take a sample of the exchanged oil to the sight glass and stop the oil pump to block the line to discharge and suck the oil.

In the oil exchange method using the level gauge hole, if there is no change in the weight of the waste oil container for a predetermined time from the beginning of discharge of the waste oil of the automatic transmission, an error message is displayed and the oil change operation is stopped and initialized.

When new oil injection is performed in the oil exchange method using the level gauge hole, if new oil injection does not proceed from the beginning of new oil injection, or if the new oil is insufficient during new oil injection, an error message is displayed and the microcomputer of the oil changer shows the remaining oil injection amount. If you replace the new oil container or refill the new oil and press the "Start" key, the oil pump will be restarted, and after the fresh oil injection is injected into the automatic transmission, the oil pump will be stopped and the new oil supply will be stopped.

The oil change process of the automatic transmission using the oil changer for automobiles according to the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail.

First, as shown in FIG. 7, the input / output couplers 81 and 83 of the oil changer 10 of the present invention are connected to the input / output adapters 82 and 84 of the automatic transmission AT in a normal forward direction. After the power switch 126 installed on the operation panel 210 of the oil changer 10 is turned on, the engine of the vehicle is driven. At this time, all of the fifth to eighth three-way valves TV5 to TV8 are in an off state.

When the input / output couplers 81 and 83 of the oil changer 10 are connected to the input / output adapters 83 and 84 of the automatic transmission AT in the forward direction, the output adapter 84 of the automatic transmission AT is connected. Oil discharged from the output coupler (83) → line (H38) → eighth three-way valve (TV8) → line (H36, H33) → sixth three-way valve (TV6) → line (H32) → sight glass (70A) → Line (H29, H28) → Fifth three-way valve (TV5) → Circulation line (H27) → Pressure gauge (PG) → Line (H24) → Seventh three-way valve (TV7) → Line (H37) → Input coupler (81) → the input adapter 82 of the automatic transmission AT is circulated into the automatic transmission AT of the vehicle.

Since the slide ball moves in the direction in which the oil passes (in the direction of the line H32 to H29), the sight glass 70A can check the flow of the oil in the forward direction, and the backlight 60 behind the sight glass 70A is the sight glass. (70A) is illuminated, so the color of the waste oil can be visually confirmed. At this time, the color of the waste oil can be seen whether it is time to change the oil of the automatic transmission.

When it is determined that the oil should be replaced by looking at the oil color in the state where the oil is circulated in the forward direction as described above, the "oil change" key arranged in the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210 is pressed, and then the "start" key is pressed. . When the "start" key is pressed, the electric actuator EC6 is driven in an on state to rotate the valve shaft 152 of the fifth and sixth three-way valves TV6, so that the fifth and sixth three-way as shown in FIG. The flow path directions of the valves TV5 and TV6 are switched.

Therefore, the waste oil discharged from the output adapter 84 of the automatic transmission AT is output coupler 83 → line H38 → eighth three-way valve TV8 → lines H36 and H33 → sixth three-way valve TV6. → Parallel line (H31) → Sight glass (70B) → Parallel line (H30) → First check valve (CV1) → Parallel line (H28) → Fifth three-way valve (TV5) → Line (H13) → Waste oil container ( Discharged to T1).

When the waste oil of the automatic transmission is discharged to the waste oil container T1 and the waste oil is introduced into the waste oil container T1 by 0.5 →, the electronic scale S1 under the waste oil container T1 is recognized, and the electronic scale S1 is recognized. When the electric drive EC6 is driven to the off state and the valve shaft 152 of the sixth three-way valve TV6 is rotated, the flow direction of the sixth three-way valve TV6 is switched to the original state (off state) as shown in FIG. 9. Will return.

When the sixth three-way valve TV6 returns to its original state (off state) in this way, the waste oil discharged from the output adapter 84 of the automatic transmission is output coupler 83 → line H38 → eighth three-way valve ( TV8) → Line (H36, H33) → Sixth three-way valve (TV6) → Line (H32) → Sight glass (70A) → Parallel line (H29, H28) → Fifth three-way valve (TV5) → Line (H13) → It is discharged to the waste oil container (T1). In this case, since the slide ball moves in the direction (flow direction) where the oil passes through the sight glass 70A, the oil may recognize the flow in the forward direction. Therefore, the sight glass 70B stores the waste oil sample of the automatic transmission at the beginning of the oil exchange operation, and the back light 60 of the rear side illuminates the sight glass 70B so that the color of the waste oil can be visually checked.

The waste oil in the automatic transmission (AT) is discharged to the waste oil container (T1) as described above, and almost no oil in the oil pan (1) forming the automatic transmission system is discharged to the waste oil container (T1) for a predetermined time. The microcomputer 120 recognizes the electronic balance S1 under the waste oil container T1, and the oil pump 100 of the oil changer 10 is turned on by the signal of the microcomputer 120. . At this time, the first to fourth three-way valves TV1 to TV4 are in an off state.

When the oil pump 100 is turned on, the new oil flow lines H16 and H21 in the new oil container T2 on the electronic balance S2 are connected to the first three-way valve TV1 and the line H15 to the second three-way valve. (TV2) → line (H14) → oil pump (100) → line (H17) → third three-way valve (TV3) → line (H18) → fourth three-way valve (TV4) → line (H19) → second check valve (CV2) → line (H26, H27, H24) → seventh three-way valve (TV7) → line (H37) → the input coupler 81 → the input adapter 82 is injected into the automatic transmission.

Thus, the new oil injected into the automatic transmission by the oil changer of the present invention is injected after discharging the waste oil in the automatic transmission (AT) by a predetermined amount so that the waste oil remaining in the oil pump, torque converter, and oil cooler in the automatic transmission is sequentially By injecting and exchanging, the oil exchange can be easily carried out while maintaining a high exchange efficiency state, thereby minimizing the loss of new oil.

The process of oil change by the oil changer of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. First, turn on the oil changer 10 and press the "oil change" key to check the weight of the waste oil container (T1) and the new oil container (T2), respectively. At this time, if the actual value of the waste oil in the waste oil container T1 is equal to or higher than the upper limit programmed in the microcomputer, an error message of "Out of waste oil container" and a buzzer sound are output. After emptying the waste oil container T1, "Oil exchange" is started again. Press key to continue oil change operation. If the actual value of the new oil in the new oil container (T2) is less than the lower limit programmed in the microcomputer, an error message and a buzzer sound are displayed.If the new oil container is replaced or new oil is replaced, the "Oil exchange" key is restarted from the beginning. Press to continue the oil change operation.

When there is no problem in the weight of the new oil container (T2) and the waste oil container (T1), when the "Start" key is pressed, a certain amount of waste oil discharged from the automatic transmission is discharged to the waste oil container (T1) through the sight glass (70B), and then the site The waste oil sample is stored in the sight glass 70B by discharging the waste oil container T1 through the glass 70A. In this way, if the weight of the waste oil container (T1) is continuously increased by the waste oil flowing into the waste oil container (T1) and there is no change for a specified time, all the oil in the fan (1) of the automatic transmission is discharged and the automatic transmission (AT) Even if the oil pump 2 operates, the microcomputer recognizes that no more oil is discharged, and the microcomputer 120 stores and stores the amount of discharge oil at this time as a "primary waste oil discharge amount." At this time, if there is no change in the weight of the waste oil container (T1) for a specified time from the beginning of the discharged waste oil, an error message is displayed and the oil change operation is stopped and initialized.

The oil pump 100 of the oil exchanger of the present invention is operated to sequentially inject 95% of fresh oil of a specified amount based on the "primary waste oil discharge amount" stored in the microcomputer 120. In this way, if the oil starts to be injected and crosses the new oil and continues to be discharged according to the jungle, if there is no change over the specified discharge within the specified time, an error message is displayed on the display. If the waste oil increases above the specified discharge, an error message is displayed. It will disappear automatically and the oil change will proceed normally.

In addition, if fresh oil is injected as much as the specified reference amount, but the waste oil is not discharged above the specified reference amount, the oil pump 100 stops and the fresh oil injection is temporarily maintained while the discharged oil is discharged above the specified reference amount. The process of continuing the injection is automatically repeated sequentially. This repetition function eliminates the risk of oil spilling into the level gauge hole if the discharge rate of waste oil is slower than that of fresh oil.

When the oil pump 100 of the present oil changer 10 is operated, the new oil injection does not proceed from the beginning, or when the new oil is insufficient during the new oil injection, an error message is displayed and the oil pump 100 is stopped. The line to discharge it is closed. At this time, the microcomputer 120 of the oil changer stores the fresh oil injection remaining amount and replaces the new oil container T2 or replenishes the fresh oil and presses the “Start” key to open a line for discharging waste oil and operates the oil pump 100. As the waste oil is discharged, the oil pump 100 is automatically stopped after the new fuel injection residual amount is injected into the automatic transmission.

As such, after the oil pump 100 is stopped, the line for discharging the waste oil is closed and switched to the circulation line while checking the waste flow amount discharged to the waste oil container T1. When the total amount of waste oil discharged is confirmed, the oil changer operates the oil pump again to inject fresh oil as much as the total amount of waste oil discharged, and stops the oil pump to complete the oil change operation.

In the oil change operation of the oil changer, the oil remaining in the system of the oil pump, the torque converter, and the oil cooler in the automatic transmission after the first discharge of the waste oil in the oil pan by driving the automatic transmission is transferred to the oil changer of the present invention. The new oil injected by the sequential push and discharge can be exchanged for new oil while maintaining a high exchange efficiency.

10 and 30 are views in which the oil changer according to the present invention is connected in a normal forward direction and discharged to the oil changer when the oil in the automatic transmission is larger than the prescribed amount in a state where oil is circulated as shown in FIG. .

In order to discharge the oil in the automatic transmission, the fifth electric actuator EC5 is temporarily turned ON while the " oil discharge " key arranged on the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210 is pressed. Thus, the flow path is switched in the fifth three-way valve TV5, and thus oil is discharged from the fifth three-way valve TV5 through the line H13 to the waste oil container T1. At this time, the electronic scale (S1) recognizes the increase value of the weight of the waste oil container (T1) and displays it on the display display window, and when the oil amount of the automatic transmission is discharged to a prescribed amount, it is applied to the "oil discharge" key on the operation panel 210. When the hand is released while removing the force, the fifth electric driver EC5 is turned off, and the state is switched back to the basic circulation state as shown in FIG. 7.

11 and 31 are the oil changer of the present invention is connected to the automatic transmission in the normal forward direction, when the oil is circulated as shown in Figure 7, when there is less oil than the specified amount inside the automatic transmission, it is easy to automatically It is a figure which supplements with a transmission and meets a prescribed quantity.

To replenish oil in the automatic transmission, the oil pump 100 is temporarily turned on only while the user presses the " oil supplement " key arranged on the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210. Will be. At this time, the first to fourth three-way valves TV1 to TV4 are in an off state. Therefore, when the oil pump 100 is driven, the oil of the new oil container S2 is sucked into and discharged into the oil pump 100 through the first and second three-way valves TV1 and TV2 and then the third and fourth three-way. It passes through the valves (TV3, TV4) and is injected into the automatic transmission through the second check valve (CV2) and the seventh three-way valve (TV7). At this time, the electronic scale (S2) recognizes the reduced value of the new oil container weight and is displayed on the display display window, and after the oil filling of the automatic transmission is made as much as desired, the user releases the hand holding the "oil filling" key. Since the pump 100 is turned off and stopped, the pump 100 is switched back to the normal forward circulation state as shown in FIG. 7.

12 is a view illustrating an oil circulation state when a user incorrectly connects an input / output coupler of an oil changer to an input / output adapter of an automatic transmission in an abnormal reverse direction.

In other words, the input coupler 81 of the oil changer is connected to the output adapter 84 of the automatic transmission, and the output coupler 83 is connected to the input adapter 82 in the reverse direction. Thereafter, after turning on the power switch 126 installed in the operation panel 210 of the oil changer 10, the engine of the vehicle is driven. At this time, all of the fifth to eighth three-way valves TV5 to TV8 are in an off state.

When the oil changer 10 is connected to the automatic transmission AT in the reverse direction, the oil discharged from the output adapter 84 is input coupler 81 → line H37 → seventh three-way valve TV7 → line ( H24) → Pressure gauge (PG) → Circulation line (H27) → Fifth three-way valve (TV5) → Parallel line (H28, H29) → Sight glass (70A) → Line (H32) → Sixth three-way valve (TV6) → Lines (H33, H36) → eighth three-way valve (TV8) → line (H38) → output coupler (83) → input adapter (82) → automatic transmission.

Since the slide ball moves in the direction (flow direction) through which the sight glass 70A passes, it is possible to check the flow of oil in the reverse direction.

After the oil is connected in the reverse direction and the flow is checked in the reverse direction, when the user selects the "line change switch" arranged in the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 22, the seventh and The eighth electric drives EC7 and EC8 are driven in an on state so that the flow path direction is switched to the seventh and eighth three-way valves TV7 and TV8 being in an on state.

When the flow direction is changed to the forward direction by selecting the "line selector switch" in this way, the oil discharged from the output adapter 84 is input coupler 81 → line (H37) → seventh three-way valve (TV7) → line (H35, H33) → 6th three-way valve (TV6) → parallel line (H32) → sight glass (70A) → parallel line (H29, H28) → 5th three-way valve (TV5) → circulation line (H27) → pressure gauge (PG) → line (H34) → eighth three-way valve (TV8) → line (H38) → output coupler (83) → input adapter (82) → circulates to automatic transmission. Since the slide ball moves in the direction (flow direction) where the oil passes through the sight glass 70A, the oil flow can be checked in the normal forward direction.

Even if the "line change switch" is selected as above, the line change operation is not performed during the program operation such as setting the oil level or during the normal oil change operation.

The oil changer for automobile according to the present invention does not apply pressure in the circulation line of the oil changer even if the user of the oil changer accidentally changes the line connection in the reverse direction as compared to other oil changers, and also stops the engine of the vehicle and disconnects the line connection. This eliminates the inconvenience of reconnecting and thereby prevents oil from sprinkling when disconnecting line connections.

When it is determined that the oil should be replaced by looking at the oil color in the state in which oil is circulated in the reverse direction, the "oil exchange" key arranged in the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210 is pressed, and then the "start" key is pressed. When the "start" key is pressed, the valve shaft 152 is rotated by the electric actuator EC6 of the fifth and sixth three-way valves TV6, so that the fifth and sixth three-way valves TV5 and TV6 as shown in FIG. The flow path direction of is switched.

Therefore, the waste oil discharged from the output adapter 84 of the automatic transmission AT is input coupler 81 → line H37 → seventh three-way valve TV7 → lines H35 and H33 → sixth three-way valve TV6. → Parallel line (H31) → Sight glass (70B) → Parallel line (H30) → First check valve (CV1) → Parallel line (H28) → Fifth three-way valve (TV5) → Line (H13) → Waste oil container ( Discharged to T1).

When the waste oil of the automatic transmission is discharged to the waste oil container T1 and the waste oil is introduced into the waste oil container T1 by 0.5 →, the electronic scale S1 under the waste oil container T1 is recognized, and the electronic scale S1 is recognized. When the valve shaft 152 is rotated by the electric actuator EC6 of the sixth three-way valve TV6, the flow direction of the sixth three-way valve TV6 is switched to return to its original state (off state) as shown in FIG. 15. Will be.

When the sixth three-way valve TV6 is returned to its original state (off state), the waste oil discharged from the output adapter 84 of the automatic transmission is input coupler 81 → line H37 → seventh three-way valve ( TV7) → Line (H35, H33) → Sixth three-way valve (TV6) → Parallel line (H32) → Sight glass (70A) → Parallel line (H29, H28) → Fifth three-way valve (TV5) → Line (H13) → It is discharged to waste oil container (T1). Since the slide ball moves in the direction (flow direction) through which the sight glass 70A passes, it is possible to check the flow of the oil in the forward direction.

When the oil pump 100 is turned on to inject new oil into the automatic transmission of the vehicle, the new oil value lines (H16, H21) stored in the new oil container (T2) on the electronic balance (S2) → the first three-way valve (TV1) → line (H15) → second three-way valve (TV2) → line (H14) → oil pump 100 → line (H17) → third three-way valve (TV3) → line (H18) → fourth three-way valve (TV4) ) → Line (H19) → Second Check Valve (CV2) → Line (H26, H34) → Eighth Three Way Valve (TV8) → Line (H38) → Output Coupler (83) → Input Adapter (82) → Automatic Transmission Will be injected.

As described above, even if the oil changer is connected to the automatic transmission in the reverse direction, it can simply be converted in the forward direction. After the conversion is made in the forward direction, oil can be simply changed by injecting fresh oil while removing the waste oil in the automatic transmission.

16 to 18 are diagrams for explaining the oil change process to the level gauge of the automatic transmission using the oil changer according to the present invention.

First, the level gauge hole insertion transparent hose 85 is connected to the output coupler 83 of the oil changer and inserted into the level gauge hole of the vehicle, and then the "gauge" arranged in the key input portion 121 of the operation panel 210. Press the "Oil change" key to set the oil change amount and then press the "Start" key. At this time, as the oil pump 100 is driven, the first, third and sixth electric actuators EC1, EC3, and EC6 are turned on, so that the first, third, and sixth three-way valves TV1, TV3, and TV6 are closed. Driven in an on state, and the second, fifth and eighth three-way valves TV2, TV5, and TV8 remain off, and the input coupler 81 is closed before connecting to other couplers. The valve TV7 may be in any state.

As the oil pump 100 is driven in this state, the waste oil in the automatic transmission AT is, as shown in Fig. 16, the gauge hole suction transparent hose 85 → output coupler 83 → line H38 → eighth. Three-way valve (TV8) → Line (H36, H33) → Sixth three-way valve (TV6) → Discharge line H31 → Sight glass (70B) → Parallel line (H30) → First check valve (CV1) → Parallel line (H28) ) → Fifth three-way valve (TV5) → Line (H27) → Pressure gauge (PG) → Line (H23) → First three-way valve (TV1) → Line (H15) → Second three-way valve (TV2) → Line (H14) ) → oil pump 100 → line (H17) → third three-way valve (TV3) → line (H12) → start to discharge to the waste oil container (T1).

As described above, when the waste oil in the automatic transmission starts to be discharged and 0.5 liter (→) of waste oil flows into the waste oil container T1, the electronic balance S1 recognizes this and the sixth electric driver EC6 is turned off as shown in FIG. 17. To change the flow path direction of the sixth three-way valve TV6. Therefore, the sight glass 70B stores the waste oil sample of the automatic transmission at the beginning of the oil change operation, and the backlight 60 of the rear side illuminates the sight glass 70B so that the color of the waste oil can be visually checked.

As such, when the flow path direction is changed by the sixth three-way valve TV6, the flow of oil flows into the gauge hole suction transparent hose 85 inserted into the level gauge hole LGH of the automatic transmission → the output coupler 83 → Line (H38) → 8th three-way valve (TV8) → Line (H36, H33) → Sixth three-way valve (TV6) → Line (H32) → Sight glass (70A) → Line (H29, H28) → Fifth three-way valve (TV5) → circulation line (H27) → pressure gauge (PG) → circulation line H23 → first three-way valve (TV1) → line (H15) → second three-way valve (TV2) → line (H14) → oil pump (100) ) → line (H17) → third three-way valve (TV3) → line (H12) → waste oil container (T1) is discharged. Since the slide ball moves in the direction (flow direction) through which the sight glass 70A passes, it is possible to check the flow of the oil in the forward direction.

After the waste oil is discharged from the automatic transmission by the oil exchange set amount as described above, the oil pump 100 is turned off and stopped, and the oil pump 100 is driven for new oil injection thereafter. At this time, the first to fourth three-way valves TV1 to TV4 are in an off state and the eighth three-way valve TV8 is in an on state.

When the oil pump 100 is driven again as described above, as shown in FIG. 18, the new oil value lines H16 and H21 stored in the new oil container T2 on the electronic scale S2 are first three-way valves TV1. → line (H15) → second three-way valve (TV2) → line (H14) → oil pump 100 → line (H17) → third three-way valve (TV3) → line (H18) → fourth three-way valve (TV4) → line (H19) → second check valve (CV2) → line (H26, H34) → eighth three-way valve (TV8) → line (H38) → output adapter (83) → gauge hole suction transparent hose (85) It is injected into the automatic transmission.

The oil change operation to the level gauge hole using the oil changer of the present invention as described above will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 25. First, when the "gauge oil change" key arranged in the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210 is pressed and the oil change amount is set, the oil changer starts the oil change operation. At this time, if "line change switch" is selected as ON, the error message is displayed and initialized. Then, press the "Gauge Oil Change" key from the beginning and set the oil change amount. The oil changer starts the oil change operation again.

Thereafter, the oil changer checks the weight of the waste oil container (T1) and the new oil container (T2), respectively. At this time, if the sum of the actual value of the waste oil and the set value in the waste oil container T1 is equal to or higher than the upper limit programmed in the microcomputer, an error message and a buzzer sound "Out of waste container" are output. Press "Gage oil change" key to continue the oil change operation. If the actual value of the new oil in the new oil container (T2) is less than the lower limit programmed in the microcomputer, an error message and a buzzer sound "new oil shortage" are output.When the new oil container is replaced or new oil is refilled, the "Gauge oil replacement" key is restarted. Press to continue the oil change operation.

If there is no problem in the weight of the new oil container (T2) and the waste oil container (T1), the oil pump (100) is operated so that the amount of waste oil sucked from the automatic transmission (AT) through the sight glass (70B) waste oil container (T1) After being discharged to, the oil is discharged to the waste oil container T1 through the sight glass 70A. At this time, a waste oil sample is collected on the sight glass 70B. In this way, even if the oil pump 100 is operated, if there is no change in the weight of the waste oil container for a specified time from the beginning of the discharge of the waste oil of the automatic transmission, an error message is displayed and the oil change operation is stopped and initialized.

Thereafter, if the weight of the waste oil container (T1) is continuously increased and there is no change for a specified time, the microcomputer 120 recognizes that the oil in the oil pan 1 of the automatic transmission is not discharged, and at this time, the amount of oil discharged. After the microcomputer 120 stores and stores the oil pump 100, the intake and discharge of waste oil are blocked.

When the oil pump 100 is operated again for new oil injection, new oil is injected into the new oil container T2 as much as the discharged amount of waste oil stored in the microcomputer 120 of the oil changer, and the oil pump 100 is stopped. Supply will be interrupted. When new oil injection is performed as described above, if new oil injection does not proceed from the beginning of new oil injection, or if the amount of new oil is insufficient during new oil injection, an error message is displayed and the microcomputer 120 of the oil changer stores the new oil injection residual amount. When T2) is replaced or replenished with fresh oil and the "start" key is pressed, the oil pump 100 is operated again, and after the fresh oil injection residual amount is injected into the automatic transmission, the oil pump 100 is stopped, so the fresh oil supply is stopped.

After waiting for a specified time so that the oil is circulated and diluted in the automatic transmission in the state where the engine of the vehicle is operated, and checking the new oil injection amount and the set amount, if the new oil injection amount is small, the oil pump 100 is operated to operate the oil of the automatic transmission. Injecting the oil back into the oil changer and repeating the process of injecting the new oil, it is injected as the set amount. In this way, when the new oil is injected by the set amount, the oil pump 100 is operated to collect a sample of the exchanged oil to the sight glass 70A, and stop the oil pump 100 to complete the oil change operation.

In the oil change operation using the oil changer according to the present invention, the oil change operation is performed by completely inhaling the oil inside the oil pan 1 of the automatic transmission with the oil changer while the engine of the vehicle is operating and introducing fresh oil by the amount sucked. The oil change can be completed by circulating and diluting the oil inside the automatic transmission and repeating the suction and injection of the oil.

As described above, the oil change operation through the level gauge hole of the automatic transmission includes the input / output adapters 82 and 84 of the automatic transmission according to the type of the vehicle, and the input coupler 81 and the output coupler 83 of the oil changer. Even when it is difficult to connect to the oil through the level gauge hole (LGH) of the automatic transmission (AT) can be easily performed, thereby increasing the user's convenience.

19 is a view showing for explaining the injection of the oil amount set by the user with the automatic oil changer according to the present invention to the automatic transmission.

First, in order to inject a new amount of oil set by the user, press the "oil setting injection" key arranged on the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210, set the injection amount, and then press the "start" key. At this time, check the weight of the new oil container (T2) in the oil changer, and if the actual new oil value in the new oil container (T2) is less than or equal to the set value, an error message and a buzzer sound "no new oil" are output and the new oil container is replaced or supplemented with new oil. After this, the oil filling operation can be continued by pressing the "Inject oil setting" key again from the beginning. In addition, the first to eighth three-way valves TV1 to TV8 are all driven in an off state, and the input coupler 81 is closed because it is not connected to other couplers.

In this state, if the actual value of the new flow rate is larger than the set value, the oil pump of the oil changer is operated. When the oil pump 100 is driven and driven, it is stored in the fresh oil container T2 on the electronic balance S2. New oil price line (H16, H21) → first three-way valve (TV1) → line (H15) → second three-way valve (TV2) → line (H14) → oil pump (100) → line (H17) → third three way Valve (TV3) → line (H18) → fourth three-way valve (TV4) → line (H19) → second check valve (CV2) → line (H26) → pressure gauge (PG) → line (H27) → fifth three way Valve (TV5) → Line (H28, H29) → Sight glass (70A) → Line (H32) → Sixth three-way valve (TV6) → Line (H33, H36) → Eighth three-way valve (TV8) → Line (H38) → the output coupler 83 is injected into the level gauge hole LGH of the automatic transmission through the gauge hole suction transparent hose 85.

Even if the oil pump 100 of the oil changer is operated as described above, if there is no change in the weight of the fresh oil container for a specified time from the initial time of injecting fresh oil, an error message is displayed and the oil filling operation is stopped and initialized again. Press the key to continue the oil filling operation, but add oil of the set amount and stop the oil pump to complete the oil filling operation.

Such oil injection can replace or repair the automatic transmission of the vehicle so that the user can easily inject a prescribed amount of oil into the automatic transmission when there is no oil in the automatic transmission.

20 and 29 are the oil changer while the waste oil in the waste oil container T1 of the oil changer according to the present invention reaches the upper limit value set in the microcomputer, and displays the display part of the error message and outputs a buzzer sound. Figure is a view showing for explaining the process of discharging to the outside.

In order to discharge the waste oil of the waste oil container T1 provided in the oil changer, which is the equipment of the present invention, to the outside of the oil changer, press the " waste oil discharge " key arranged on the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210, and then " Press the "Start" key. At this time, the second three-way valve TV2 is driven in an on state.

In this state, when the oil pump 100 is turned on and driven, the waste oil in the waste oil container T1 on the electronic scale S1 is line H11 → second three-way valve TV2 → line H14 → oil pump. (100) → line (H17) → third three-way valve (TV3) → line (H18) → fourth three-way valve (TV4) → line (H19) → second check valve (CV2) → line (H26, H24) → The seventh three-way valve (TV7) → line (H37) → the input coupler 81 → waste oil discharge adapter 88 is discharged to the external waste oil container.

At this time, if there is no change in the weight of the waste oil container for the specified time from the beginning of the discharged waste oil, an error message is displayed and the waste oil discharge operation is stopped and initialized. Then, the waste oil discharge operation can be continued by pressing the "waste oil discharge" key from the beginning. If the weight of the waste oil container does not change for a specified time, the microcomputer 120 recognizes that no further waste oil is discharged and stops the oil pump 100 to complete the waste oil discharge operation.

21 and 27 are views for explaining the process of changing the oil of the power steering system using the oil changer according to the present invention.

First, in order to change the oil of the power steering system, the input / output adapter of the oil reservoir tank is disconnected, and then the input coupler 81 of the oil changer and the power steering oil input adapter 86 of the vehicle are output coupler 83. And the power steering oil output adapter (87).

In this state, when the "power oil exchange" key arranged on the key input unit 121 of the operation panel 210 is pressed, the weights of the waste oil container T1 and the fresh oil container T2 are respectively checked. At this time, if the actual value of the waste oil in the waste oil container (T1) is higher than the upper limit programmed in the microcomputer, an error message and a buzzer sound "Out of waste container" are output. In this case, after emptying the waste oil container (T1), the "power again" from the beginning. Press the "Oil change" key to continue the oil change operation. If the actual value of the new oil in the new oil container (T2) is less than the lower limit programmed in the microcomputer, an error message and a buzzer sound are displayed.If the new oil container is replaced or new oil is filled, press the "Power Oil Exchange" key again. Press to continue oil change operation.

In addition, when the "line change switch" is ON, an error message is displayed and initialized, and the oil change operation is continued by pressing the "power oil change" key again from the beginning.

In this way, if there is no problem in the actual values of the waste flow rate and the new flow rate, when the "Start" key is pressed, the fourth and fifth electric actuators EC4 and EC5 are driven in an on state and the fourth and fifth three-way valves ( TV4 and TV5 are driven on. Since the oil pump 100 is turned on and driven as described above, the new oil price in the new oil container T2 on the electronic balance S2 is H16, H21 → the first three-way valve TV1 → H15. 2 Three-way valve (TV2) → Line (H14) → Oil pump 100 → Line (H17) → Third three-way valve (TV3) → Line (H18) → Four-way three-way valve (TV4) → Line (H20) → Third 3 is injected into the vehicle's power steering system through the check valve CV3 → line H25, H24 → seventh three-way valve TV7 → line H37 → input coupler 81 → input adapter 86.

As described above, the waste oil is discharged from the output adapter 87 of the power steering system by the amount of fresh oil discharged by the oil pump 100 into the power steering system. The waste oil discharged from the output adapter 87 of the power steering system is output coupler 83 → line H38 → eighth three-way valve TV8 → line H36 and H33 → sixth three-way valve TV6 → Line (H32) → sight glass (70A) → parallel lines (H29, H28) → fifth three-way valve (TV5) → line (H13) → discharged to the waste oil container (T1). At this time, the sight glass 70A moves the slide ball in the direction (flow direction) through which the oil passes, so that the oil flows in the forward direction, and the backlight 60 behind the sight glass 70A is the sight glass ( 70A) can be used to visually check the color of the waste oil.
