Title:
OIL LEVEL DETECTOR FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3774401
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil level detector for an automatic transmission, giving almost no influence to a space in a oil reservoir even in using an oil level detecting cylindrical member, increasing a degree of freedom in installation and receiving almost no influence of the type of a vehicle.
SOLUTION: The oil level detecting cylindrical member 6 is detachably mounted on the oil reservoir 2. In detection of an oil level, the cylindrical member 6 is set on the oil reservoir 2 by passing through an oil level detection hole 3 of the oil reservoir 2 and opening a cover 5. When an operating oil supplied to the oil reservoir 2 reaches a predetermined level, it flows through the cylindrical member 6 to the outside. Thus, the oil level can be detected. In no detection of the oil level, the cylindrical member 6 is removed form the oil reservoir 2. In such a normal condition that the oil level is not detected, the cylindrical member 6 is removed from the oil reservoir 2 and so the space in the oil reservoir 2 is not influenced by the cylindrical member 6.
