Preventing apparatus for concentrating oil of vehicle
A preventing apparatus for concentrating oil of a vehicle includes: a chamber disposed in an oil pan to enclose the surrounding of an oil strainer and having both sides provided with through holes through which oil inflows and outflows; and an oil blocking module disposed to be spaced apart from the through holes in the chamber and operated in an opposite direction to a turning direction of the vehicle when the vehicle turns in order to block one of the through holes of the chamber.
1. A preventing apparatus for concentrating oil of a vehicle, comprising:
a chamber disposed in an oil pan and configured to surround an oil strainer, the chamber defined by a plurality of plates including first and second plates, wherein the first and second plates are facing to each other and each provided with one or more through holes through which the oil flows in and out of the chamber; and
an oil blocking module disposed in the chamber,
wherein the oil blocking module includes:
a plurality of rails each having a first end and a second end, wherein the first ends of the plurality of rails are fixedly disposed on the first plate, and the second ends of the plurality of rails are fixedly disposed on the second plate;
a plurality of stopping members including first and second stopping members each movably coupled to the corresponding rail of the plurality of rails and configured to slide along the corresponding rail; and
a plurality of elastic members configured to provide elastic force and including a first elastic member disposed between the first plate and the first stopping member, and a second elastic member disposed between the second plate and the second stopping member,
wherein the first stopping member is configured to close the one or more through holes formed in the first plate when the oil pushes the first stopping member toward the first plate when the vehicle turns in one direction, and the second stopping member is configured to close the one or more through holes formed in the second plate when the oil pushes the second stopping member toward the second plate when the vehicle turns in other direction.
2. The preventing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first and second stopping members are subject to a force to be moved in an opposite direction to the turning direction of the vehicle when the vehicle turns, and
the first and second elastic members are compressed when the first and second stopping members are subject to the force to be moved in the opposite direction more than a set value.
3. The preventing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rails are parallel to each other and provided in the chamber.
4. The preventing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first and second stopping members each have first and second ends provided with coupling holes configured to receive the corresponding rails, and a central portion of the first and second stopping members is provided with a protrusion to block the through holes.
5. The preventing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the protrusion is projected from the central portion and tapered toward the one or more through holes.
6. The preventing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a cross section of the protrusion adjacent the central portion of the stopping members is formed to be larger than an area of one of the through holes, and a cross section of the protrusion near the through holes is formed to be smaller than the area of one of the through holes.
7. The preventing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rails includes a stopper formed on a surface of the rails to prevent each of the first and second stopping members from moving beyond a set distance measured from the first ends and second ends of the rails, respectively.
