AUTOMATIC OPENING AND CLOSING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE LUBRICATION FLOW PASSAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17981202 titled 'AUTOMATIC OPENING AND CLOSING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE LUBRICATION FLOW PASSAGE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an automatic opening and closing device for a vehicle lubrication flow passage. The device includes a valve housing installed on an oil pump of the vehicle, with a valve positioned inside the housing. The valve is operated to open and close the lubrication flow passage by rotation. A mass member is installed on one end of the valve to surround its rotation axis. The mass member is rotated by the inertial force generated during vehicle turns or acceleration/deceleration, which in turn rotates the valve.

  • The device is designed to automatically open and close the lubrication flow passage in a vehicle's oil pump.
  • It includes a valve housing and a valve that can be rotated to control the flow.
  • A mass member is attached to the valve to enable its rotation.
  • The rotation of the valve is achieved through the inertial force generated during vehicle turns or acceleration/deceleration.

Potential Applications

  • Automotive industry
  • Vehicle lubrication systems

Problems Solved

  • Ensures proper lubrication flow in a vehicle's oil pump
  • Automates the opening and closing of the lubrication flow passage
  • Reduces the need for manual intervention in lubrication system operation

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency and performance of the vehicle's lubrication system
  • Reduces the risk of damage or failure due to improper lubrication
  • Simplifies the operation of the lubrication system for vehicle owners and operators


Original Abstract Submitted

An automatic opening and closing device for a vehicle lubrication flow passage includes a valve housing installed on one side of an oil pump of the vehicle and includes a valve positioned in the valve housing and installed in a lubrication flow passage of the oil pump that passes through the inside of the valve housing. The valve is operated to open and close the lubrication flow passage by rotation. The device also has a mass member installed on one end of the valve to surround a rotation axis of the valve. The mass member is rotated by an inertial force generated during a turn or acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle to rotate the valve.
