    摘要: A motor for a vehicle comprises: a motor housing; an oil sump mounted to the motor for oil to drain from the motor housing into the oil sump, a width of the oil sump being greater than a depth of the oil sump, the oil sump having an oil pickup for circulating the oil; and a valve member mounted at a pivot point inside the oil sump, the valve member enclosing an air cavity for buoyancy, wherein the valve member is configured to rotate about the pivot point due to being buoyed by the oil.

    摘要: An assembly for draining fluid from a sump having a receiver. A plug is adapted for threaded engagement with the receiver, has a transverse outlet arranged for communication with the sump, and is rotatable between: sealed, where flow is inhibited across the outlet; and drain, where fluid from the sump flows across the outlet. A head is rotatably attached to the plug. A limiter between the head and plug operates in: lock, where the head and plug rotate concurrently in a first direction to move the plug from sealed to drain; slip, where the head rotates in a second direction independent of the plug in response to torque acting on the head exceeding a threshold; and limit, where the head and plug rotate concurrently in the second direction in response to torque acting on the head being less than the threshold to move the plug towards sealed.

    摘要: An oil collection system includes a boat that has an engine. A pan is removably coupled to the engine such that the pan may capture oil leaked from the engine. A plurality of clips is provided and each of the clips is coupled to the pan. Each of the clips engages the bottom end of the engine such that the pan is removably retained on the engine. A filter is positioned within the pan such that the filter filters the oil. A gauge is coupled to the pan such that the gauge may display an amount of oil contained within the pan. A drain is coupled to the pan such that the drain may selectively drain the oil from the pan.

    摘要: An oil sump, preferably made of plastic or metal, for motors or transmissions and having a filter housing, comprises a filter housing top shell, a filter housing bottom shell, a filter medium, a filter inlet, and a filter outlet, and an oil drain opening in the floor area of the oil sump, which is implemented in such a way that it is closable using an oil drain screw having external thread, which comes from the oil sump bottom side. The filter housing comprises an internal thread which is implemented to receive the external thread of the oil drain screw, the filter housing being at least partially fastened on the oil sump via the oil drain screw, which closes the oil drain opening and engages using its external thread in the internal thread on the filter housing side.

    摘要: A universal drain plug system and method allow for the use of a single tool, such as a wrench, for installing and removing drain plugs from fluid containers such as vehicle oil pans. The system includes a plurality of different drain plugs, each with a substantially identical tool-engaging head portion, but with a different threaded shaft. The threaded shafts may differ in diameter, length, and thread dimensions including thread height and pitch, for example.

    摘要: A device for determining the filling level of a fluid in a container, in particular in the oil reservoir of a vehicle, is provided. The device has at least one sensor element, at least one control unit, at least one energy source, and at least one transmitting unit for wireless transmission of measured data. The at least one energy source is a thermal generator, in particular a thermocouple. The device has at least one energy storage device. The thermal generator is configured for measuring a time-dependent temperature gradient, the thermal generator has a signal-conducting connection to the control unit, and the control unit is configured for placing the device from an energy-saving state into a ready-to-measure state. A method for determining the filling level of a fluid in a container using the device, and a vehicle with the device, in particular a motor vehicle, are also provided.
