PUMPING DEVICE
The pumping device includes a barrel, a cover, a pumping mechanism, a positioning ring, and plural posts. The barrel has plural first positioning portions extending upward near a bottom thereof. The cover is disposed on the barrel to selectively close the barrel. The pumping mechanism is disposed on the cover for pumping liquid in the receiving space outward or pumping liquid outside into the receiving space. The positioning ring is detachably combined by two semi-ring bodies and is sleeved onto the cover and the barrel to position the cover on the barrel. The positioning ring has plural second positioning portions. Each of the posts connects the positioning ring and the bottom of the barrel therebetween. Each post is detachably connected to one of the first positioning portions and one of the second positioning portions therebetween so that the two semi-ring bodies are unable to separate freely.
Engine revision for peristaltic oil change
A method and a kit for oil removal or injection into the oil pan of a vehicle, marine or aircraft engine. A modified dip stick tube or other access tube extends to the bottom of the oil pan has at least one or more openings at its bottom end to allow oil to enter or exit. The top has an air-tight seal that can be attached to a flexible tube that can be run to a peristaltic pump. The pump can have an exit tube that runs into an oil recovery receptacle. After draining, the oil, the tube can be valved or physically relocated to a fresh oil source. The direction of rotation of the pump can be reversed to fill the oil pan with fresh oil. An electric control can run the pump in both a forward and reverse direction typically from a vehicle battery voltage source.
OIL CHANGE APPARATUS AND RELATED METHODS
An oil change machine or apparatus for removing used oil from an engine has flow lines for removing oil directly from the engine, which can be an automobile engine or a boat engine. The oil change machine can be configured to empty used oil to a designated waste oil bin. The oil change apparatus or machine can be located at a shop, can be portable and maneuverable from locations to locations, or be mounted on a service vehicle for on-site use, such as to perform oil change away from an oil lube center. The oil change machine can have adaptors for use with various engine models and can include an onboard offloading tank, in addition to a service holding tank, for performing multiple oil changes.
Fluid extraction system for vehicles
A system for removing fluids, such as engine oil, from internal combustion powered vehicles is disclosed. The system includes a pump, an extraction line that connected between the pump and the oil pan drain (or other similar fluid receptacle drain) of the vehicle, a controller, a fluid storage container and a discharge line that is connected between the pump and the storage container. The fluid extracted is automatically transferred to a pressurized intermediate storage container and subsequently transferred to a non-pressurized final storage container.
Fluid pumping device having a storage structure
A storage structure for fluid pumping device adapted for disposing on a fluid pumping device comprises: a ring body, sleeved onto the fluid pumping device; a plurality of storage portions, arranged around the ring body, each of the storage portions being adapted for a workpiece to removably connected.
Engine Revision for Peristaltic Oil Change
A method and a kit for oil removal or injection into the oil pan of a vehicle, marine or aircraft engine. A modified dip stick tube or other access tube extends to the bottom of the oil pan has at least one or more openings at its bottom end to allow oil to enter or exit. The top has an air-tight seal that can be attached to a flexible tube that can be run to a peristaltic pump. The pump can have an exit tube that runs into an oil recovery receptacle. After draining, the oil, the tube can be valved or physically relocated to a fresh oil source. The direction of rotation of the pump can be reversed to fill the oil pan with fresh oil. An electric control can run the pump in both a forward and reverse direction typically from a vehicle battery voltage source.
VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR MACHINE FLUID OPERATIONS
A fluid system of a machine. The fluid system includes a fluid reservoir, a pump coupled to the fluid reservoir, a filter coupled to the pump and a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a first port, a second port coupled to the first port and to the fluid reservoir, a third port coupled to the first port, and a first check valve positioned between the first port and the second port. The fluid system further includes a second check valve positioned between the filter and the third port.
Apparatus and method for engine cleaning
An apparatus configured to perform a static and a dynamic cleaning of an engine at the same time or separately, as well as to back-flush the oil pump screen of the engine, air purging the engine and prime the engine with oil before filling the engine with the required oil amount. The apparatus has a holding tank for storing a cleaning solution, a pump, an oil drain adapter configured to connect the apparatus to the oil drain of the engine, a transfer tank and an oil filter adapter connected to a first and a second conduit. The pump is selectively in fluid communication with the holding tank, to pump the cleaning solution from the holding tank into the engine, and with the oil drain to draw the cleaning solution out of the engine.
TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT
One embodiment provides an apparatus for replacing transmission fluid of an automatic gear shift, including: a first tube and a second tube, operatively coupled to two different access points of the automatic gear shift; a first tank containing the fresh transmission fluid; a second tank which receives the exhausted transmission fluid; a first three-way electro valve which establishes selective communication between the first tube and the first tank or between the first tube and the second tank; a second three-way electro valve comprising a selective communication between the second tube and the first tank or between the second tube and the second tank; a first pressure gauge and a second pressure gauge operatively coupled to the first tube and to the second tube, respectively, to detect the pressure of the transmission fluid, wherein an oleodynamic manifold comprises a box-like casing housing for the three-way electro valves and the pressure gauges; and a first calibrated throttling is present between the first gauge and the first three-way electro valve and a second calibrated throttling is present between the second gauge and the second three-way electro valve. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Fluid Exchange Service
A machine for replacing used transmission or power steering fluid in a vehicle with new transmission or power steering fluid includes a frame having a housing. The machine includes a pair of service hoses that extend from the machine and connect to the vehicle for placing the machine in the fluid flow. New, used, and axillary fluid tanks are provided. A pump and a manifold are associated with two of the tanks. The pumps provide for the selective withdraw or insertion of fluid into or out of the tanks. A display on the housing presents an operator of the machine with various tasks or options the machine can perform. A processor controls activation of the pumps and other electrical components based on inputs received by the display. Scales are provided under one or more of the tanks for determining the amount of fluid going into and out of the tanks during the exchange process.
