Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing tooling, and in particular to a diesel engine flywheel gear ring clearance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Diesel engines, as the primary power source, still occupy a very large share in the shipping industry. Currently, most marine diesel engines still use electric motors or pneumatic motors for starting. As diesel engines become increasingly compact and well-protected, the flywheel gear ring is often completely enclosed inside the gear housing. This makes it impossible to measure the contact clearance between the flywheel gear ring and the starter motor gear, thus making it impossible to control assembly quality. The clearance between the starter motor and the flywheel gear ring has a critical impact on the stable operation of the diesel engine.

[0003] The flywheel ring gear of the existing diesel engine is completely inside the flywheel housing, making it impossible to measure the contact clearance between the flywheel ring gear and the starter motor gear. When the diesel engine starts, the starter motor gear inserts into the flywheel ring gear and meshes with it, driving the flywheel to start, resulting in gear grinding and severe wear.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a diesel engine flywheel gear ring clearance detection device that facilitates clearance measurement is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a diesel engine flywheel gear ring clearance detection device. By meshing the internal gear with the flywheel gear ring, the meshing state is fed back to the external gear.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a diesel engine flywheel gear ring clearance detection device, including a base, a rotating shaft, an internal gear, an external gear, and a measuring instrument. The base is detachably installed at the connection position between the flywheel housing and the starter motor. The rotating shaft is installed on the base via a bearing. The internal gear is installed at one end of the rotating shaft, extends into the flywheel housing, and meshes with the flywheel gear ring. The external gear is installed at the other end of the rotating shaft, located outside the flywheel housing and close to the measuring instrument. The internal gear and the external gear rotate synchronously, and the measuring instrument detects the rotation of the external gear.

[0007] Preferably, the two ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the internal gear and the external gear respectively via flat keys.

[0008] Preferably, both the internal gear and the external gear are provided with shaft elastic retaining rings on their sides.
