AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing engine production methods fail to effectively prevent both accidental and intentional intrusion of foreign objects into the combustion chamber, leading to potential engine destruction.

Method used

A smart security label with a disposable seal adhesive is applied to the inlet air port and turbocharger to create a protective layer, which changes visibility upon removal, indicating tampering or intrusion.

Benefits of technology

Prevents both accidental and intentional entry of foreign objects into the combustion chamber, providing a clear indication of tampering and enhancing engine protection.

Abstract

Considering the risks of foreign object penetration in the assembly process of engine assemblies in the machining and assembly departments of automobile manufacturing, the use of a security label on the inlet air port of production line engines in the automobile manufacturing industry is proposed.\nBy installing a security label on the inlet port, the risk of objects accidentally penetrating into the combustion chamber is reduced to zero, and the security label is also an important barrier so that no one can intentionally throw objects into the combustion chamber. If the security label is opened, white writing will appear. Invisible writing on the label becomes visible when opened, indicating that someone has attempted sabotage. This error is regularly made by operators on engine assembly lines, and the security label prevents both. If foreign objects penetrate the engine combustion chamber (for the reasons mentioned), the piston will knock the objects into the combustion chamber and destroy the engine.

Description

Description of the invention Title of the invention Smart label to prevent engine destruction on the assembly line Technical background of the relevant invention Car Mechanic - Automotive Industry Technical problem and stating the objectives of the invention A technical problem in the engine production line is the risk of foreign objects entering the combustion chamber, either intentionally or unintentionally. To prevent the intrusion of objects, our goal is to prevent the destruction of the engine with a simple method. The smart security label also seals the throttle valve and turbocharger to prevent the intrusion of foreign objects during assembly. A description of the state of the prior art and the history of developments related to the claimed invention. This initiative has been used in various ways in Subaru, Toyota, and Benz automobile manufacturing, such as using a sponge in the air intake port, but our initiative uses a method that prevents the penetration of objects, intentionally or unintentionally. Providing a solution to an existing technical problem along with an accurate, sufficient, and integrated description of the invention The use of a security label (a disposable seal adhesive on the inlet air port (and turbocharger and gas valve) to the combustion chamber is to prevent objects from penetrating intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, the label is a protective layer on the inlet air ports. If the seal is removed, it will be clear that someone has intentionally placed an object inside the air port-combustion chamber. If the security label is opened, the invisible writings become visible (the white writings on the label appear, indicating that the seal has been invalidated). Explanation of shapes, maps and diagrams Figure 1: Shows the air inlet port to the combustion chamber (cylinder head inlet). Figure 2: Smart security label that is installed by the operator on the air inlet port. The letter A on the label in the image on the last page of the map indicates that part of the label has been removed and the invisible text has been converted to visible text. If the security label is opened, white writing on the label will appear, indicating that the seal has been broken. This ultimately means that someone has thrown an object into the combustion chamber. A clear and precise statement of the advantages of the claimed invention over prior inventions. In previous initiatives abroad, only unintentionally falling screws or objects into the combustion chamber is used (foreign automakers use sponges or plastic frames in the engine production line, which only prevent objects from accidentally entering, and not every engine has a frame installed). However, in our initiative, both accidental and intentional objects from entering the combustion chamber are prevented. Description of at least one implementation method for implementing the invention Using a seal label (security label) on the air inlet (air port-combustion chamber used in the production line, which the operator manually attaches to the cylinder head port at the beginning of the production line) Explicit mention of the industrial application of the invention Saipa-Mega Motor-Iran Khodro production line, etc.)

Claims

Complaint What is claimed: Claim 1: (Independent claim) It is a plastic barrier consisting of laminate and paper with visible and invisible writing that fits in one piece according to the cylinder head ports and their diameters and blocks the path of objects entering the combustion chamber. It is installed by the engine quality unit on the engine port and inlet. This barrier consists of an anti-scratch limit and a label layer that matches the dimensions of the cylinder head port and covers the thread and cylinder head bolts to prevent errors. Claim 2 (dependent claim) According to claim number one, the label is such that the manufacturer's logo and the writing on the label are invisibly engraved on the label by a high-frequency laser. In case of tampering with the label on the port opening, the color will not change, and only the label around the cylinder head port will have visible writing. This technique is a barrier to guarantee the prevention of the penetration of objects in the engine assembly process to prevent the destruction of the engine, so as to prevent heavy costs of damage to the engine. Claim 3 (independent claim) This idea has not been used in the automotive industry - the engine manufacturing sector - until now, and it is not an imitation of another idea and has no analogues. Mercedes and Subaru automakers use foam and cardboard in the air intake ports, which have weaknesses such as the foam penetrating into the engine or not being error-proof, and they also do not cover intentional errors on the assembly line.
