ABSTRACT:
A lubrication monitoring device for heavy duty diesel engines includes a plurality of measuring receivers connected at one level to driving spaces of the engine. Each receiver is assembled of a socket part secured to the wall of the engine and enclosing a lower and upper padding of resilient material pressed together by a pressure plate fastened to the top of the socket. Opposite lateral walls of the socket are formed with cutouts for receiving a ribbon cable which is integral with lateral elongated channels connected respectively to an underpressure and overpressure pump. The upper padding is provided with a connector block carrying a plurality of fork shaped contacts and with two hollow connection pieces which upon compression of the upper padding penetrate the elastic material around the elongated channels while the fork shaped contacts penetrate the insulation of the cable wires. A housing part of the receiver is hinged to the socket and is secured thereto by a central fastening screw which is provided with an axial passage forming a nozzle communicating with a testing channel in the housing attachment and opening into a feeding channel leading to the driving spaces in the engine. The housing attachment supports a plurality of uniform modular units with electrical circuitry for a light barrier in the testing channel. The modular units are connected by contact strips which upon fastening the housing attachment to the socket are pressed against a set of spring biased flat contacts connected via the fork shaped contacts to the cable wires.
