[0040] The structure of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that these embodiments are descriptive and not limiting.

[0041] Please refer to the following for a crankshaft full complement cylindrical roller bearing roller mounting device. Figures 1-11 The invention comprises: a base 11, an eccentric adjustment base 10, an upper support 7, an upper eccentric adjustment screw 8, a lower eccentric adjustment screw 9, a lubricating oil reservoir 1, a lubricating oil channel 2, a lubricating oil level regulating valve 3, a roller limit block 4, a linear guide rail 12, a moving handle 14, and a roller-driven slider 15. A knob is fixed to the outer end of both the upper and lower eccentric adjustment screws.

[0042] The base is a disc-shaped base with a central mounting groove at the upper end, used to fix the eccentric adjustment base and the upper support. Multiple radially threaded holes are provided on the base along the circumferential direction; three are shown in the attached drawing, but not limited to three, for installing the lower eccentric adjustment screws.

[0043] The eccentric adjustment base is an annular base with multiple upper and lower radial threaded holes arranged along the circumference. The attached diagram shows three holes, but not limited to three, for mounting an upper eccentric adjustment screw. The upper support consists of an annular seat portion 7.1 and a roller support platform portion 7.2 extending outward from one side of the annular seat portion. The roller support platform portion is elongated.

[0044] The eccentric adjustment base is located at the upper end of the base, and the upper support is located at the upper end of the eccentric adjustment base. The annular portion of the eccentric adjustment base and the upper support are coaxially arranged, and the eccentric adjustment base and the upper support are fixed to the base by bolts.

[0045] The inner holes of the upper support and the eccentric adjusting base are aligned vertically to form a crankshaft receiving cavity. After the crankshaft is placed in the crankshaft receiving cavity, the shaft section on the crankshaft where the rollers are mounted corresponds to the inner hole of the annular seat portion of the upper support. Therefore, the expression for the inner hole diameter of the annular seat portion of the upper support is as follows:

[0046]

[0047] In the formula: The inner diameter of the upper support is [missing information]. The diameter for installing the roller shaft section on the crankshaft. Where is the diameter of the roller. This is the radial clearance of the roller (generally taken as 0.1~0.3mm).

[0048] A roller receiving groove 7.4 is provided at the upper end of the roller support platform. This roller receiving groove is a rectangular groove extending into the inner hole of the annular seat portion of the upper support. The outer side of the rectangular groove is tangent to the side of the inner hole of the annular seat portion. The width of the rectangular groove forms a clearance fit with the roller to be installed, preferably expressed as follows:

[0049]

[0050] middle: To accommodate the width of the groove for the rollers, Where is the diameter of the roller. This is the radial clearance of the roller (generally taken as 0.1~0.3mm).

[0051] A slot 7.3 is provided on the outer side of the inner hole of the annular seat portion near the upper support of the roller receiving groove, which is used to position the roller limiting block. The roller limiting block is inserted into the slot in a pluggable manner, and the inner end of the roller limiting block extends into the roller receiving groove to temporarily limit the roller installed in the roller receiving groove.

[0052] The linear guide rail is fixedly installed on the upper end of the roller support platform, located on one side of the roller receiving groove, and is arranged parallel to the roller receiving groove.

[0053] The roller-driven slider consists of a guide section, a pushing section, and a connecting section disposed between the guide section and the pushing section. The lower end of the guide section has a guide groove, which forms a guiding engagement with a linear guide rail. The pushing section extends into a roller receiving groove to push the rear ends of a row of rollers placed within the groove. A movable handle is fixedly installed at the upper end of the connecting section of the roller-driven slider, facilitating the operator's pushing of the rollers.

[0054] The lubricating oil reservoir, lubricating oil channel, and lubricating oil level control valve constitute a lubricating oil delivery structure for lubricating the rollers. The lubricating oil reservoir is located on the outer side of the roller support platform. An oil outlet is located near the bottom of the lubricating oil reservoir on the side closest to the roller support platform, and an oil inlet is located on the outer side of the roller support platform. The oil inlet communicates inward with the roller receiving groove. The lubricating oil channel connects the oil outlet of the lubricating oil reservoir and the oil inlet of the roller support platform, used to deliver the lubricating oil stored in the lubricating oil reservoir to the roller receiving groove for lubrication of the rollers. The introduction of lubricating oil lubricates the bearing rollers, reducing friction during sliding and making it smoother. Simultaneously, after installation, the grease on the bearing rollers can also act as a binder, adhering the bearing rollers to the bearing raceways of the crankshaft. The lubricating oil level control valve is installed on the lubricating oil channel to regulate the amount of lubricating oil delivered.

[0055] The method for inserting rollers using the above-mentioned full complement cylindrical roller bearing roller insertion device for crankshafts is as follows:

[0056] Step 1: Place the crankshaft 5, from which the rollers are to be installed, into the crankshaft housing cavity formed by the eccentric adjustment base and the upper support. To prevent the rollers from falling into the crankshaft hole, a crankshaft end cap 6 can be installed at the upper end of the crankshaft. Adjust the multiple upper and lower eccentric adjustment screws to ensure that the width of the roller mounting cavity formed between the outer ring surface of the crankshaft roller mounting section and the inner hole surface of the upper support is uniform around the circumference. During the adjustment process, a detection pin can be inserted from the end of the roller housing groove. The size of the detection pin is the same as the outer diameter of the roller. Fix a detection handle at the upper end of the detection pin. By rotating the detection pin one revolution within the roller mounting cavity, determine whether the multiple upper and lower eccentric adjustment screws are properly adjusted.

[0057] Step 2: Insert the roller limit block into the slot on the roller support platform;

[0058] Step 3: Fill the roller 13 in the roller receiving groove between the roller limiting block and the roller pushing slider;

[0059] Step 4: Add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the lubricating oil reservoir and adjust the lubricating oil flow rate regulating valve to ensure an appropriate flow rate.

[0060] Step 5: After removing the roller limit block, push the moving handle to make the bearing roller push the slider slide along the linear guide rail, pushing the rollers in the roller receiving groove into the roller mounting cavity in sequence, so as to install the rollers on the roller mounting shaft section on the crankshaft. When the rollers are fully distributed, the filling is completed.

[0061] Traditionally, it takes about 20 minutes to assemble each set of bearing rollers by hand. With the device of this invention, it only takes about 2 minutes to assemble each set of bearing rollers, which increases the assembly efficiency by 10 times.

[0062] Although embodiments and drawings of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will understand that various substitutions, variations and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
