[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The invention provides a pulling-out tool for conveniently testing the pulling-out force of a camshaft and a timing gear.

[0030] Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the invention described in the claims. Furthermore, all the contents of the configurations shown in the embodiments below are not necessarily required as the solution to the invention described in the claims.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 3 The pulling-out tool in the embodiment of the present invention includes: a base 100, a clamp 200 and a pulling-out mechanism 300; the clamp 200 includes a supporting front plate 201 and a supporting rear plate 202, the supporting front plate 201 and the supporting rear plate 202 are fixedly connected, and the supporting front plate 201 and the supporting rear plate 202 are both fixed to the upper surface of the base 100; the pulling-out mechanism 300 includes a power device 301, a pressure sensor 302 and a fixed pulling piece 303, the power device 301 is installed in the middle of the supporting front plate 201, and the piston rod of the power device 301 is located at the supporting Between the front plate 201 and the supporting rear plate 202, the pressure sensor 202 is installed on the piston rod, and the pressure sensor 302 is used to sense the extrusion force of the piston rod of the power unit 301 pressing the camshaft; the fixed puller 303 is installed in the middle of the supporting rear plate 202, and is used to clamp the timing gear of the fixed camshaft; the supporting front plate 201 and the supporting rear plate 202 are parallel to each other, and the supporting front plate 201 and the supporting rear plate 202 are both perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 100. When the camshaft is pulled out, the vertical section of the camshaft is perpendicular to the plane where the supporting front plate 201 is located.

[0032] In the extraction tool provided by the present invention, the base 100 is used to provide a support surface for extracting the camshaft, the clamp 200 is used to clamp and fix the camshaft body, and the extraction mechanism 300 is used to extract the camshaft timing gear from the camshaft body. The support front plate 201 and the support rear plate 202 are fixed to the base 100 by bolts. The fixed extraction member 303 is fixed to the middle of the support rear plate 202. Through this fixed extraction member 303, the camshaft body can pass through the support rear plate 202 and fix the camshaft timing gear in the support rear plate 202. The power unit 301 is used to provide power for extracting the camshaft timing gear. The power unit 301 is fixed to the middle of the support front plate 201. The power unit 301 passes through the support front plate 201 so that the piston bolt is located between the support front plate 201 and the support rear plate 202. The pressure sensor 202 is mounted on the piston rod.

[0033] When the pulling-out tool provided by the present invention is used to pull out the timing gear of the camshaft, the end of the camshaft near the flange is passed through the support rear plate 202 so that the flange is located between the support front plate 201 and the support rear plate 202. The piston rod of the power unit 301 is used to squeeze the top of the camshaft near the support front plate 201. At the same time, the pressure sensor 302 senses the squeezing force of the piston rod of the power unit 301 pressing the camshaft. By continuously increasing the squeezing force of the piston rod pressing the camshaft, the timing gear of the camshaft can be pulled out from the main body of the camshaft. At the moment the timing gear is pulled out, the maximum pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 302 is the pulling-out force value between the camshaft and the timing gear, completing the test. When using the pulling-out tool of the present invention, it is only necessary to sense the squeezing force of the piston rod of the power unit 301 pressing the camshaft through the pressure sensor 302. No other tools are required. The test is convenient and the results are accurate.

[0034] See Figure 3 In this embodiment of the present invention, the fixed puller 303 is a two-part structure, comprising two semicircular pullers: a semicircular puller 3031 and a semicircular puller 3032. When the semicircular pullers 3031 and 3032 are closed, they form a closed ring with a receiving cavity within. The fixed puller 303 has a T-shaped vertical cross-section, with the vertical end of the T-shaped structure extending through the support rear plate 202 and the horizontal end of the T-shaped structure located on the side of the support rear plate 202 near the support front plate 201. When the timing gear on the camshaft is clamped in the fixed puller 303, the timing gear nestles in the receiving cavity. When the camshaft timing gear is removed from the camshaft body, the T-shaped structure secures the timing gear, preventing it from shifting with the movement of the camshaft body.

[0035] The pressure sensor 302 is electrically connected to the power unit 301. The pressure sensor 302 of the pull-out mechanism 300 is used to sense whether the extrusion force of the piston rod of the power unit 301 pressing the camshaft has reached the detected pull-out force value between the camshaft and the timing gear. The sensing unit of the pressure sensor 302 is located on the end face of the camshaft close to the piston rod. When the piston rod of the power unit 301 is in an extended state and presses the camshaft, the sensing unit of the pressure sensor 302 senses the extrusion force of the piston rod pressing the camshaft, converts the extrusion force into a standard electrical signal, and outputs a standard measurement result corresponding to the extrusion force. The test process is simple to operate, and the required test results can be directly obtained without the aid of other auxiliary tools, which is convenient for practical application.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, the timing gear of the camshaft is pulled off from the main body of the camshaft by controlling the extension and contraction degree of the piston rod of the power device 301. The power device 301 is a hydraulic cylinder or a hydraulic oil cylinder. The present invention preferably uses a hydraulic oil cylinder to ensure the functional stability of the power device.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the front support plate 201 and the rear support plate 202 are fixedly connected by a plurality of connecting rods 400. The material of the connecting rods can be a rigid material or other materials that are resistant to stretching and deformation, and this application does not specifically limit this. The fixed connection between the front support plate 201 and the rear support plate 202 via the connecting rods 400 can make the structure between the front support plate 201 and the rear support plate 202 more stable, and maintain the parallel distance between the front support plate 201 and the rear support plate 202 unchanged.

[0038] In this embodiment of the present invention, base 100 comprises a platform 101 and a bracket 102. The shape of platform 101 is not limited to a rectangle; it can be designed in other shapes, as long as it provides a support surface for removing the camshaft. Beneath platform 101 is bracket 102, which consists of several supporting legs. Rollers can be mounted on the ground-contacting ends of the legs to facilitate movement of the entire device.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pulling tool also includes a support seat 500, which is fixed to the upper surface of the base 100 by bolts and is used to support the camshaft. In order to improve the supporting force of the camshaft, two support seats can be set. The overall structure of the support seat can be designed as a trapezoidal structure. A drag groove 501 is provided at the top of the support seat for convenient placement of the camshaft. The shape of the bracket 501 can be an arc or a V-shape, as long as it is a concave groove that can accommodate the camshaft body. In the embodiment of the present application, an arc shape is preferred, which is consistent with the shape of the camshaft body.
