DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The following further describes the present invention with specific embodiments in the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, a flexible adjustable engine clamping device of the present invention includes a tray 1 for holding an engine body. Two parallel slide rails 2 are provided on the tray 1. A plurality of mounting plates 3 slidably connected thereto are provided on each slide rail 2. A telescopic column 4 is provided on each mounting plate 3. A locking member is provided between the telescopic column 4 and the slide rail 2. An adjusting device 5 for adjusting the height is provided on the telescopic column 4. A fixing plate 6 is provided at the top of the telescopic column 4. A movable clamping plate 7 slidably connected thereto is provided on the fixing plate 6. A locking bolt 13 is provided between the movable clamping plate 7 and the fixing plate 6. First, according to the model of the engine body, adjust the distance between each telescopic column 4, tighten the nut 11 on the first bolt 10 to fix the mounting plate 3 on the slide rail 2. Then, use bolts to install the fixing plate 6 at the top of the telescopic column 4. Immediately, use the locking bolt 13 to clamp the movable clamping plate 7 on the fixing plate 6. Immediately, according to the engine model, rotate the rotating handle to adjust the height of each telescopic column 4. After adjusting the height, immediately place the engine body on the tray 1. Clamp the left and right movable clamping plates 7 on the convex platforms on the surface of the engine body respectively. After adjusting the movable clamping plate 7, use a wrench to tighten the locking bolt 13 to clamp the engine body. When it is necessary to unload the engine body, loosen the locking bolt 13 with a wrench, and separate the left and right movable clamping plates 7 from the convex platforms on the surface of the engine body respectively, then the engine can be lifted off. The whole clamping and disassembly process is simple and convenient, which improves the equipment installation speed and greatly improves the production efficiency.

[0025] Specifically, the telescopic column 4 includes a support rod 41 and an adjustment rod 42. Inner cavities 8 are provided on both the support rod 41 and the adjustment rod 42. One end of the support rod 41 with an opening is movably inserted into the inner cavity 8 of the adjustment rod 42. The other end of the support rod 41 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3. The other end of the adjustment rod 42 is detachably connected to the fixing plate 6. The adjusting device 5 is arranged in the inner cavities 8 of the support rod 41 and the adjustment rod 42. The cross-sections of the support rod 41 and the adjustment rod 42 are in a rectangular structure. The rectangular structure prevents the adjustment rod 42 from rotating, making the structure more firm.

[0026] Further, the adjusting device 5 includes a support plate 52, a push plate 53, a screw rod 51, and a rotating shaft 54. The support plate 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support rod 41, and the push plate 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjusting rod 42. One end of the screw rod 51 is threadedly connected to the support plate 52, and the other end of the screw rod 51 passes through the push plate 53 and is connected with a first bevel gear 55. Moreover, the connection part between the screw rod 51 and the push plate 53 is rotationally connected through a bearing. Both ends of the rotating shaft 54 are rotationally connected to both sides of the adjusting rod 42 through bearings. A second bevel gear 56 meshing with the first bevel gear 55 is provided at the middle position of the rotating shaft 54. When the rotating shaft 54 rotates, it drives the second bevel gear 56 to rotate. The second bevel gear 56 meshes with the first bevel gear 55, and the first bevel gear 55 drives the screw rod 51 to rotate. The screw rod 51 is threadedly connected to the support plate 52, so that the screw rod 51 moves up and down, thereby driving the push plate 53 to move up and down. The push plate 53 drives the adjusting rod 42 to move up and down, realizing the height adjustment function of the telescopic column 4, so as to meet the use of engine blocks of different models.

[0027] Further, one end of the rotating shaft 54 extends to the periphery of the adjusting rod 42 and is connected with a rotating handle 57. By rotating the rotating handle 57, the rotating shaft 54 is driven to rotate, realizing height adjustment.

[0028] Further, two parallel T-shaped chutes 9 are provided on the slide rail 2. The locking members are a plurality of first bolts 10. The heads of the first bolts 10 are slidably installed in the T-shaped chutes 9. The threaded rods of the first bolts 10 pass through the mounting plate 3 and are threadedly connected with nuts 11. When the mounting plate 3 drives the telescopic column 4 to adjust the position on the slide rail 2, the nut 11 is loosened and the movement can be carried out. When the position is determined, the nut 11 is tightened to lock and fix.

[0029] Further, the number of telescopic columns 4 is four, and the four telescopic columns 4 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the tray 1, clamping the engine block from different directions, making the installation more firm.

[0030] Further, a long chute 12 is provided on the movable clamping plate 7. The locking bolt 13 passes through the long chute 12 and is threadedly connected with the fixed plate 6. When the locking bolt 13 is loosened, the movable clamping plate 7 can slide on the fixed plate 6 to adjust the position of the movable clamping plate 7. After adjustment, the locking bolt 13 is tightened to make the movable clamping plate 7 press the engine block.

[0031] Further, the movable clamping plate 7 has an L-shaped structure, and a rubber pad 14 is provided at the bottom of the movable clamping plate 7. The rubber pad 14 prevents the movable clamping plate 7 from generating indentations on the surface of the engine block, affecting the appearance of the engine block.

[0032] Further, a scale 15 is provided on the slide rail 2. According to the scale 15, the distance between two adjacent mounting plates 3 can be clearly known, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the telescopic column 4.

[0033] When a flexible adjustable engine clamping device of this embodiment is in use, first, according to the model of the engine body, adjust the distance between each telescopic column 4, tighten the nut 11 on the first bolt 10, so that the mounting plate 3 is fixed on the slide rail 2, and then use bolts to install the fixed plate 6 at the top of the telescopic column 4. Immediately afterwards, clamp the movable clamping plate 7 on the fixed plate 6 with the locking bolt 13. Immediately afterwards, according to the engine model, rotate the rotating handle to adjust the height of each telescopic column 4. After adjusting the height, immediately place the engine body on the tray 1, and clamp the left and right movable clamping plates 7 on the convex platforms on the surface of the engine body respectively. After adjusting the movable clamping plate 7, use a wrench to tighten the locking bolt 13 to clamp the engine body. When it is necessary to unload the engine body, after loosening the locking bolt 13 with a wrench, separate the left and right movable clamping plates 7 from the convex platforms on the surface of the engine body respectively, and then the engine can be lifted off. A flexible adjustable engine clamping device of the present invention, through the settings of the slide rail 2 and the telescopic column 4, can meet the use of engine bodies of different models. The whole clamping and disassembly process is simple and convenient, improves the equipment installation speed, and greatly improves the production efficiency, and has the characteristics of convenient use and strong practicability.

[0034] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicability of the patent.
