Description

"CONECTOR UNIVERSAL PARA FILTRO DE  "UNIVERSAL FILTER CONNECTOR
COMBUSTÍVEL PARA MÁQUINAS AGRÍCOLAS"  FUEL FOR AGRICULTURAL MACHINES "
Assunto:  Subject matter:
[001 ] A presente Patente de Invenção refere-se a um dispositivo universal utilizado para conectar o filtro do combustível em máquinas agrícolas em geral , sendo que dito conector possibilita a utilização de outros filtros existentes no mercado. Desta forma, é possível que o filtro de combustível original de fábrica das máquinas agrícolas seja substitu ído por filtros maiores e/ou mais baratos.  [001] The present invention relates to a universal device used to connect the fuel filter to agricultural machines in general, which connector allows the use of other filters available on the market. In this way, it is possible that the original factory fuel filter on agricultural machinery may be replaced with larger and / or cheaper filters.
Estado da Técnica: State of the Art:
[002] São conhecidos da técnica os filtros de combustível para motores de veículos de passeio, os quais são instalados em cabeçotes próprios. Máquinas agrícolas de maior porte utilizam-se de dois filtros de combustível , enquanto máquinas ag rícolas menores um único. Na prática acontece que os diversos fabricantes de máquinas agrícolas determinam que os filtros de combustível utilizados no motor sejam de marca própria, chamados filtros originais. O que determina esta utilização é o fato de que o cabeçote do filtro existente somente possibilita o encaixe do filtro da marca do fabricante. - [002] Fuel filters for passenger car engines are known in the art and are fitted to their own cylinder heads. Larger agricultural machines use two fuel filters, while smaller agricultural machines use one. In practice it happens that the various manufacturers of agricultural machinery determine that the fuel filters used in the engine are their own brand, called original filters. What determines this use is the fact that the existing filter head only makes it possible to fit the filter of the manufacturer's brand. -
[003] Este fator faz com que somente filtros chamados originais possam ser utilizados os quais possuem , em alguns casos, pouca durabilidade, exigindo manutenção constante. Ocorre que em muitos casos as máquinas agrícolas são utilizadas em fazendas muito distantes de centros comerciais, dificultando muito a obtenção do filtro da marca do fabricante, fazendo por vezes que o equipamento fique parado. [003] This factor means that only so-called original filters can be used which have, in some cases, poor durability, requiring constant maintenance. It turns out that in many cases agricultural machines are used on farms far from shopping centers, making it difficult to obtain the manufacturer's brand filter, sometimes causing the equipment to stand still.
[004] Outro fator importante é que, em geral , os filtros chamados originais possuem preço mais alto que os filtros chamados paralelos, que não são das marcas dos fabricantes de máquinas agrícolas. [004] Another important factor is that, in general, so-called original filters are priced higher than filters parallels, which are not the trademarks of agricultural machinery manufacturers.
[005] Para possibilitar a conexão de filtros paralelos, estes precisam ser adaptados ou são utilizados adaptadores que não são apropriados. Estes arranjos podem trazer problemas ao motor e maior manutenção ao usuário, causando vazamento de combustível e/ou entrada de ar no sistema . Arranjos não apropriados podem ainda alterar as característica original do equ ipamento, causando outros danos ao seu funcionamento e até mesmo a perda da garantia dada pelo fabricante.  [005] To enable parallel filters to be connected, they need to be adapted or adapters that are not appropriate are used. These arrangements can lead to engine problems and increased user maintenance, causing fuel leakage and / or air to enter the system. Improper arrangements may still alter the original features of the equipment, causing further damage to its operation and even loss of warranty given by the manufacturer.
[006] Desta forma, não é conhecido da técnica um conector apropriado para que possa ser fixado outros modelos de filtros paralelo diretamente no cabeçote onde é acoplado o filtro de combustível original .  Thus, a suitable connector is not known in the art so that other parallel filter models can be attached directly to the head where the original fuel filter is coupled.
Conceito Inventivo: Inventive Concept:
[007] O presente Conector Universal para Filtro de Combustível para Máquinas Agrícolas baseia-se no conceito inventivo de permitir que seja utilizado outro modelo ou marca de filtro de combustível paralelo, utilizando-se do conector universal para a fixação de tais filtros. O conector é acoplado ao cabeçote de fixação do filtro de combustível original, não sendo alteradas as características originais do equipamento.  [007] This Universal Fuel Filter Connector for Agricultural Machinery is based on the inventive concept of allowing another parallel fuel filter model or brand to be used using the universal connector for attaching such filters. The connector is coupled to the original fuel filter mounting head and does not change the original equipment characteristics.
[009] A principal vantagem de utilizar o conector universal para filtro de combustível é possibilitar ao usuário a manutenção e substituição do filtro com facilidade, praticidade e baixo custo. Nota-se que, em muitos casos, filtros paralelos são mais fáceis de encontrar em localidades isoladas que filtros de uma determinada marca, o que agiliza a manutenção sem comprometer o funcionamento do motor quando utilizado junto ao conector universal . [009] The main advantage of using the universal fuel filter connector is that it allows the user to easily and conveniently maintain and replace the filter. Note that in many cases parallel filters are easier to find in isolated locations than filters of a particular brand, which makes maintenance easier. without compromising engine operation when used near the universal connector.
[01 0] Nos casos de máquinas agrícolas de grande porte, onde são utilizados dois filtros de combustível pequenos, a utilização do conector pode possibilitar que seja utilizado um único filtro maior, com maior durabilidade, o que significa redução de custos ao usuário. No entanto, esta inutilização de um único filtro não altera as condições de funcionamento do motor e não altera as características originais do equipamento.  [01 0] In the case of large agricultural machines where two small fuel filters are used, the use of the connector may enable a larger single filter to be used for longer durability, which means cost savings to the user. However, making this single filter unusable does not change engine operating conditions and does not alter the original equipment characteristics.
Campo de Aplicação: Application field:
[01 1 ] A aplicação do presente Conector Universal para Filtro de Combustível para Máquinas Agrícolas se dá na utilização deste como componente para máquinas agrícolas em geral , sendo, portanto, um conector de filtro de combustível .  [01 1] The application of this Universal Fuel Filter Connector for Agricultural Machinery is to use it as a component for general agricultural machinery and is therefore a fuel filter connector.
