Background Technology

[0002] On the inner opening surfaces of the crank arms in each gear of the marine medium-speed engine crankshaft, punch holes are drilled to measure the gear shift difference and verify whether the crankshaft meets the design requirements. The punch holes are generally drilled at the intersection of the line connecting the main journal's elemental line and the inner opening surface of the crank arm, and the position of the punch holes for each gear should be consistent. Due to space constraints, in actual production, the fitter typically scribing lines and then manually punching the holes. However, due to the influence of factors such as the scribing needle, the center punch, and manual labor, the position of the punch holes for each gear often varies and cannot be kept consistent, resulting in a large error in the measured gear shift difference and inaccurate measurement results. Furthermore, manual drilling by the fitter is labor-intensive and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

The top of the double-acting cylinder 13 is equipped with a wristband 19 for easy carrying of the invention.

[0019] A pair of slider mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner opening of the two crank arms 4 in the corresponding positions, located on the lower side of the drive mechanism 1. The slider mechanism 2 includes a guide sleeve 21, a slider 22, a punch 23, a wedge 24, an adjusting screw 25, and a set screw 26.

The slider 22 is supported in the inner hole of the guide sleeve 21 and can slide left and right along the inner hole of the guide sleeve 21. The punch 23 is fixed in the horizontal inner hole of the slider 22 by the set screw 26. The punch head of the punch 23 corresponds to the punching point on the inner side of the crank arm 4. The wedge 24 is fixed in the vertical inner hole of the slider 22. The inclined surface of the wedge 24 abuts against the inclined end face of the tail of the punch 23. The adjusting screw 25 passes through the bottom of the guide sleeve 21 and the slider 22 and abuts against the bottom of the wedge 24. When the punch 23 is worn after the first use or after multiple uses, the position of the punch 23 can be adjusted by the wedge block 24 to make the positions of the punches 23 on both sides symmetrical.

The bottom of each guide sleeve 21 has two mounting holes 212 corresponding to the positions of the set screw 26 and the adjusting screw 25, facilitating their installation. The main function of the spring mechanisms 5 is to help the slider mechanism 2 quickly reset and complete the punching and drilling process.

The screw sleeve 14 drives the connecting rod mechanism 3 to move up and down reciprocally as well. Under the drive of the connecting rod mechanism 3, the slider mechanism 2 moves horizontally reciprocally in the guide sleeve 21, thereby realizing automatic punching.
