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 patent application describes an automatic opening and closing device for a vehicle lubrication flow passage. The device includes a valve housing installed on one side of an oil pump and a valve positioned inside the valve 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 a turn or acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle, which in turn rotates the valve.
- The device is installed on the oil pump of a vehicle.
- It includes a valve housing and a valve that opens and closes the lubrication flow passage.
- The valve is operated by rotation.
- A mass member is installed on one end of the valve.
- The mass member rotates the valve using the inertial force generated during vehicle turns or acceleration/deceleration.
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry
- Vehicle lubrication systems
Problems Solved
- Ensures automatic opening and closing of the lubrication flow passage.
- Allows for efficient lubrication of vehicle components.
- Reduces the need for manual intervention in the lubrication process.
Benefits
- Improved lubrication system efficiency.
- Reduced maintenance requirements.
- Enhanced vehicle performance and longevity.
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.
