July 28, 1959 TAKESHI IWASAKI 2,896,645 PORTABLE WASHING AND CLEANING APPARATUS FOR T VARIOUS KINDS OF THE ENCLOSED ENGINE PARTS Filed May 4, 1954 INVENTOR TAKESH' IWASAW- ATTORNEYS PORTABLE WASHING AND CLEANING APPARA- TUS FOR THE VARIOUS KINDS OF THE EN- CLOSED ENGINE PARTS Takeshi Iwasaki, Kawasaki City, Japan Application May 4, 1954, Serial No. 427,504
2 Claims. (Cl. 134-111) The present invention relates to washing and cleaning apparatus for the various kinds of the enclosed engine parts especially for the crank case of an automobile engine. This apparatus consists of a filter tank, oil tank, vacuum tank, electrically driven vacuum pump, electrically driven high pressure reversible compression pump and the pipes suitably connecting each of the said members, which are arranged on a carriage. In this invention a fixed quantity of cleaning oil can be repeatedly circulated by the alternate operation of the high pressure injection and the high vacuum withdrawal of the cleaning oil through the special nozzle, followed by the change of the normal operation on a reversing of said reversible compression pump.
The object of this invention is to obtain a washing and cleaning apparatus capable of washing completely the enclosed engine parts in a very short time and to eliminate the waste of cleaning oil by the artificial repeated circulation of the cleaning oil and thus to always keep the working of the engine in the best condition.
Fig. l is a schematic view of the present device connected to an engine for cleaning the interior thereof.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a nozzle of the device inserted through an engine oil pan.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the device.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the device.
Fig. 5 is a front view thereof.
Fig. 6 shows the piping arrangement.
Referring now more in detail to the accompanying drawing wherein like and corresponding parts are designated by similar reference characters, the present apparatus is mounted on the carriage 1 having wheels 2 and is easily portable. Before starting the washing operation, it is necessary to start the vacuum pump 3 for efiecting a vacuum in tank 4. The reversible pump 5 is then started and the injection nozzle 6 which is provided with a fitting plug 7 is inserted into the crank case 8 for injecting the cleaning oil from the oil tank 9 thereby cleaning the inside of said crank case. At the time time, the special suction nozzle 10 is inserted in said crank case for withdrawing the dirtied oil after finishing the cleaning action and directing the same through the filter 11 to said vacuum tank.
This operation completes the injection of the oil in approximately ten seconds. Immediately reversing the operation of said reversible ptunp converts the injection nozzle to a suction nozzle which draws in the dirtied oil from said crank case. Thus, this dirtied oil flows into the filter tank 12 after passing through the filter 13 and by the oil gauge 14.
This operation is also limited to approximately ten seconds. In the present example by a few repeated opera tions as above described, the crank case 8 can be completely washed and cleaned and the cleaned oil passing through the oil gauge 14 becomes transparent and clear. Also cleaning oil is drawn in by nozzle 10 after it is injected from nozzle 6 and'when said nozzle 6 functions atent 2 as a suction nozzle, both nozzles -6 and 10 withdraw the oil.
The dirtied oil accumulated in said vacuum tank can be directed into the filter tank at the proper time by the'op eration of the valves 15, 16 and 17 and a reversible pump 5. The filter tank 12 operates ina vacuum state at all times and the filtered oil is accumulated in the oil tank.
Nozzle 6 is connected to pipe 19 which in turn is connected to valve 17 which has pipe 18 connected thereto extending to the oil tank 9.
Nozzle 10 is connected to a pipe 20 which extends into the vacuum tank 4 and has a valve 16 interconnected therein for controlling the flow of oil therethrough.
A by-pass pipe 21 is connected to said valves 16 and 17 for connecting pipes 19 and 20 at times converting nozzle 6 into a suction nozzle. When said valves 16 and '17 are changed pipes 19 and 20 are disconnected where by nozzle 6 is an oiled injection nozzle.
Pipe 18 further has a valve 15 connected to pipe 22 extending into filter tank 12 for directing the flow of oil thereto when nozzle 6 is a suction nozzle but otherwise disconnecting pipes 18 and 22. *Pipe 22 also has the oil gauge 14 connected therein.
Pipe 19 has filter 13 interconnected therein, pipe 20 has filter 11 interconnected therein, while the reversible pump 5 is interconnected in pipe 18.
Suction pump 3 is shown as being connected by pipe 23 to the vacuum tank 4.
By this invention, the waste of the washing oil can be very much reduced by the repeated circulation of the oil supplied in a fixed quantity and the complete washing and cleaning of the engine crank case can be accomplished in a very short time. Thus the cleaning oil can be used very economically without abandonment of the cleaning oil as useless after every cleaning operation as herebefore and the engine can thus be kept in its best running condition.
