Funnel assembly

A funnel assembly, which is a funnel assembly for an automobile or locomotive to be assembled on an oil hole when adding oil, the funnel assembly being a container for guiding oil into the oil hole.

The funnel is a very useful guide fluid tool for guiding liquid or fine particulate matter such as motor oil or gasoline into a container having a small opening. Under normal conditions, adding fluid into a container with a small opening, if the funnel is not used, it is likely that fluid will overflow the outside of the container.

However, the position of the sump of the engine box of the automobile or the locomotive is different. It is possible that the oil hole is disposed above the engine unit box or at a lower position, which allows the user to place the outlet end of the funnel into the oil hole. Difficult, because the outlet tubes of the general funnel are all upright, so there are many funnel structures, such as the patent number: ES1119986 and the patent publication number: US2012152408, which is a funnel assembly for different oil hole positions, which has a hose coupling. The funnel; and the funnel guiding tube are provided with a ball valve for the function of turning the funnel.

Moreover, the disadvantage of US2012152408 is that it is a connecting guide tube with a flexible hose as a funnel, but the hose cannot be fixedly positioned, so the flexibility of the hose is both an advantage and a disadvantage, because the hose is twisted. The positioning cannot be fixed, so that the operation may be caused by the operator not holding the hose, and the hose is separated from the oil hole to cause the oil to leak out; and, the patent number: ES1119986 is connected to the cover by the ball valve set provided by the guiding tube In the body, after the cover body is assembled to the oil hole, the funnel can adjust the vector angle on the cover body due to the ball valve structure. The disadvantage is that the angle cannot be fixed at the angle after adjusting the angle, because the ball valve and the cover There is no positioning structure between the bodies. The inconvenience is that the operator has to hold the funnel with one hand to fix the angle to add the oil. This disadvantage is also caused by the same problem in US2012152408.

The invention relates to a funnel assembly for adding oil to an automobile or a locomotive, which is a detachable funnel assembly, the assembly comprising: a body, a first sleeve, a connecting tube, a second sleeve and a cover; a funnel) having a receiving portion having a first open end and a second open end; the first sleeve having an axial tube portion and a radial tube portion; the second sleeve having an axial tube portion and a radial tube end; the connecting tube has a first nozzle and a second nozzle; the cover has a platform and a screw joint, the platform is provided with a sleeve hole; and the second open end sleeve of the body (funnel) The radial tube portion of the first sleeve, the axial tube portion of the first sleeve is connected to the first nozzle of the tube, the second tube of the connecting tube is sleeved to the axial tube portion of the second sleeve, and the second sleeve The radial tube portion of the tube is connected to the sleeve hole of the cover body: wherein the first sleeve and the connecting tube can be combined and positioned by a plurality of radial angles, and the second sleeve can be combined with a plurality of radial angles Cover and position.

The funnel assembly can be applied to the oil hole position of different types of vehicles, so that the operator can easily change the assembly angle of the funnel assembly, and the user can operate because the funnel assembly is changed after the assembly angle is changed. It is convenient to pour the oil into the oil, and it is not easy to cause the overflow funnel or the oil hole outside during the operation.
