Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an oil amount adjusting device cover (hereinafter referred to as an FT (Feeding Tank) cover) in oil-filled power equipment.

This type of oil level adjustment device is covered with an FT cover to protect it from wind and rain and to improve its appearance. Conventional oil level regulators are particularly prone to rust in the area that comes in contact with the lid plate of the power equipment body, and the FT cover is also heavy. Due to this, removal was troublesome, and repair painting after rusting was also insufficient.

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a gap at the bottom of two opposing sides of the FT cover, and will be described in detail below with reference to Examples.

Figures 1 and 2 are conventionally used
FIG. 7 is a front view and a side view showing the attached state of the FT cover. The FT cover 1 is made up of a head plate 2 and a body plate 3 that are welded together to form a single body.The FT cover 1 covers from above an oil amount adjusting device 6 attached to a lid plate 5 of a power equipment main body 4, and is attached and fixed with bolts 7. has been done. Here, the portion where the FT cover 1 is in contact with the lid plate 5 of the power equipment main body is in close contact over the entire circumference. However, due to slight warping of the cover plate 5 and dimensional errors in processing the lower end of the FT cover, complete contact is not achieved, and a gap of about 1 to 2 mm is partially present.

This type of power equipment is often used outdoors, and rainwater infiltrates into the FT cover from the bottom edge of the FT cover, but due to poor ventilation inside, the infiltrated rainwater stays for a long time, causing rust. promoted. Note that this is not limited to rainwater, but also when moisture in the air condenses inside the FT cover, which is the main cause of rust on the inner surface of the FT cover itself, and especially on the cover plate 5.

The present invention solves these drawbacks of the FT cover, and the front and side views of an embodiment thereof are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

In the present invention, a gap is actively provided at the lower end of the FT cover to prevent water from stagnation inside the FT cover and to provide effective ventilation. That is, in this embodiment, the third
As is clear from the figure, gaps 8 are provided at the lower ends of the two opposing mirror plates 2, respectively. This gap 8 is made narrow, about 5 mm, to prevent sparrows and the like from entering from the outside. This prevents stagnation of rainwater, etc., and its ventilation effect helps prevent FT.
Drying inside the cover is promoted and rust can be prevented.

In this case, various methods can be considered to simply prevent water from stagnating inside or to obtain a ventilation effect, such as not necessarily narrowing the gap 8, but making the gap 8 an appropriate size and installing gold steel, but all of this requires a lot of effort. and materials are required.

The present invention achieves the objective without requiring extra labor or materials. For example, providing the narrow gap 8 at the lower end of the front and rear end plates 2 as shown in the above embodiment is simply done when manufacturing the FT cover. , it is only necessary to shorten the lower dimension of the mirror plate, and no extra labor or materials are required. As described above, the present invention is characterized in that water stagnation prevention and ventilation effects can be achieved without increasing the amount of labor and materials required compared to conventional methods. Note that gaps can also be provided at the left and right lower ends of the body plate 3 instead of the end plate 2;
A gap may be provided at the lower ends of the opposing surfaces of the FT cover.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the purpose of preventing rust can be achieved without increasing labor and materials compared to the conventional methods.
