Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a cap for a surge tank of a vehicle cooling system which can discharge the high temperature and high pressure air inside the surge tank before opening the cap to prevent a risk of burns and injuries that may occur when the cap is opened.
The engine cooling system of the vehicle is provided with a radiator, thermostat, water pump, surge tank, etc., and the thermostat is opened or closed according to the temperature of the coolant circulating the engine to circulate the coolant inside the engine or to the radiator side. .
That is, when the temperature of the cooling water is below a certain temperature, only the inside of the engine is circulated, and if the temperature is above a certain temperature, the thermostat is opened while the cooling water is introduced into the radiator, cooled, and then circulated into the engine by the water pump.
In addition, a surge tank is used to hold the cooling water during expansion and contraction of the cooling water in the cooling process of the engine and to apply a constant pressure to the cooling system.

Therefore, the air flowing through the
However, the pressure cap has a structure in which the positive pressure valve unit and the negative pressure valve unit are vertically integrated, so that the vertical length of the pressure cap is long, and this causes the limitation of the layout by the pressure cap when installing the surge tank. As a result, there is a problem that can only reduce the capacity of the surge tank.
That is, due to the structure of the cooling system, the lower part of the surge tank should be provided at the same level or higher than the top of the engine and the radiator, so that the position of the pressure cap is also high. Therefore, when the length of the upper and lower length of the pressure cap is long, since the upper end portion of the pressure cap interferes with other parts and structures, the upper portion of the
Furthermore, since the port is protruded laterally outside the pressure cap, there is a problem that the port may be damaged and damaged by a strong impact, and the mold for manufacturing the pressure cap is complicated, and the mold size increases. There is also a problem that the pressure cap manufacturing cost increases.
In addition, since the
In addition, when the pressure cap is separated from the surge tank, the overflow hose connected to the port must be removed, thereby causing a problem of adding a work process.
It should be understood that the foregoing description of the background art is merely for the purpose of promoting an understanding of the background of the present invention and is not to be construed as an admission that the prior art is known to those skilled in the art.
The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, to provide a pressure cap for the surge tank of the vehicle cooling system to separate the positive pressure valve and the negative pressure valve to reduce the vertical length of the pressure cap. have.
The present invention is formed so that the port formed in the pressure cap does not protrude to the outside, to block the risk of damage to the port, surge of the vehicle cooling system to couple the pressure cap to the surge tank with a constant coupling force regardless of the type of surge tank To provide a pressure cap for the tank.
The configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object is coupled to the filler neck formed in the surge tank, the port body is formed through the cap body to communicate with the inside and the outside; A guard provided inside the cap body and having a positive pressure valve hole and a negative pressure valve hole communicated with an inner end of the port at one side and the other side; A positive pressure valve unit is provided in the positive pressure valve hole, and the positive pressure valve unit moves up and down according to the internal pressure of the surge tank to open or close the positive pressure valve hole; And a negative pressure valve provided in the negative pressure valve hole, the negative pressure valve unit being moved up and down according to the internal pressure of the surge tank so that the negative pressure valve hole is opened or closed.
The positive pressure valve unit, the positive pressure flange portion formed on the edge of the positive pressure valve hole; A constant pressure valve seated on an upper surface of the constant pressure flange part and moving up and down; And a constant pressure spring having one end supported by the positive pressure valve and the other end supported by the cap body side to provide an elastic force so that the positive pressure valve is in close contact with the positive pressure flange.
A support plate may be provided on an upper portion of the positive pressure flange part so that the other end of the positive pressure spring may be supported on the bottom surface of the support plate.
The negative pressure valve unit may include a negative pressure flange formed on an edge of the negative pressure valve hole; A negative pressure valve having a lower end mounted on a bottom surface of the negative pressure flange and moving up and down; And a negative pressure spring having one end supported on an upper surface of the negative pressure flange part, the other end being supported on the upper end of the negative pressure valve, and providing an elastic force so that the negative pressure valve is in close contact with the negative pressure flange part.
The port is formed in the side wall surface of the cap body, the inner end may be formed to communicate with the interior of the cap body.
The port may have an outer end formed on a bottom surface of the side wall of the cap body.
The present invention through the above problem solving means, the positive pressure valve and the negative pressure valve are separately installed on both sides of the cap body, so that the structure of the positive pressure valve unit and the negative pressure valve unit is simplified, as well as to lower the height of the valve structure do. Therefore, the vertical length of the pressure cap is shortened, thereby securing a space between the pressure cap and the surrounding structure, there is no need to reduce the structure of the surge tank, there is an effect that can further secure the capacity of the surge tank.
Moreover, since the port is formed inside the side wall of the cap body and does not protrude to the outside of the cap body, there is an effect of preventing the risk of breaking the port, and the pressure cap is applied to the pillar neck at an appropriate torque regardless of the direction of the pressure cap. There is an advantage that can be combined.
