[0007] The device further comprises an adjusting element for adjusting the orientation of the oil hole of the bushing so as to align the oil hole of the bushing with the inclined oil hole of the camshaft.

[0008] Further improvement lies in that the rotating part comprises an insertion block and a rotating block, the distance between the outer side of the insertion block and the axis of the pressing rod gradually increases from front to back, the distance between the outer side of the rotating block and the axis of the pressing rod is equal to the maximum distance between the outer side of the insertion block and the axis of the pressing rod, and a plurality of rolling balls are arranged on the outer side of the rotating block.

[0009] Further improvement lies in that the outer sides of the insertion block and the rotating block are both arc surfaces, and the centers of the arc surfaces are both located on the axis of the pressing rod.

[0010] Further improvement lies in that the limiting part comprises an axle seat and a movable rod rotatably arranged on the axle seat, a coil spring is arranged on the axle seat, the movable rod is composed of a first rod body and a second rod body which are perpendicular to each other, under the action of the coil spring, the first rod body tends to extend outward along the radial direction of the pressing rod, the second rod body tends to extend forward along the axial direction of the pressing rod, and a rolling plane is arranged on the second rod body and a roller is arranged on the rolling plane and coincides with the axis of the pressing rod.

[0011] Further improvement lies in that the length of the first rod body satisfies that at least a part of the first rod body contacts the end surface of the shaft hole of the camshaft when the depth of the pressing rod inserted into the shaft hole of the camshaft is equal to the set depth, and the length of the second rod body satisfies that when the depth of the pressing rod inserted into the shaft hole of the camshaft is greater than the set depth and the first rod body rotates under the block of the end surface of the shaft hole of the camshaft, the second rod body rotates synchronously and the distance between the outer side of the rolling wheel and the axis of the pressing rod is greater than the distance between the outer side of the rotating block and the axis of the pressing rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0025] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, an assembly device for a marine diesel engine camshaft bushing includes a pressure rod 1. The front end of the pressure rod 1 has a connector 2. The connector 2 has a positioning part 3 for positioning the bushing oil hole when placing the bushing on the connector 2, ensuring that the bushing oil hole faces the designated direction of the pressure rod 1. The rear circumferential sidewall of the pressure rod 1 has several fixing components arranged radially. The fixing components can be 4, 6, or 8, etc. Each fixing component includes a groove 4 formed in the circumferential sidewall of the pressure rod 1, a movable block 5 disposed in the groove 4 and supported radially along the pressure rod 1 by an elastic element 17, and a rotating element arranged front to back on the outer side of the movable block 5. The rotating part and the limiting part, the movable block 5 can extend laterally outward from the groove 4 under the elastic action of the elastic member 17. When the movable block 5 extends out of the groove 4, the rotating part can contact the inner wall of the camshaft shaft hole when the depth of the pressure rod 1 inserted into the camshaft shaft hole is equal to the set depth (the set depth is determined by the position height of the rotating part and the limiting part on the pressure rod 1) and make the pressure rod 1 rotatable in the circumferential direction. That is, the rotating part provides the function of rotational support to ensure the stability of rotation. The limiting part is used to contact the inner wall of the camshaft shaft hole when the depth of the pressure rod 1 inserted into the camshaft shaft hole is greater than the set depth and to restrict the pressure rod 1 from rotating in the circumferential direction.

[0026] The equipment also includes an adjusting element for adjusting the orientation of the bushing oil hole to align the bushing oil hole with the camshaft inclined oil hole.

[0027] Preferably, the rotating part of the present invention includes an insertion block 6 and a rotating block 7. The distance between the outer side of the insertion block 6 and the axis of the pressure rod 1 gradually increases from front to back, which facilitates insertion into the camshaft hole. The distance between the outer side of the rotating block 7 and the axis of the pressure rod 1 is equal to the maximum distance between the outer side of the insertion block 6 and the axis of the pressure rod 1. Furthermore, ball bearings 8 are arranged on the outer surface of the rotating block 7, which can reduce friction through rolling contact. In addition, the outer surfaces of both the insertion block 6 and the rotating block 7 are arc surfaces, and the centers of the arc surfaces are located on the axis of the pressure rod 1.

[0028] Preferably, the limiting part in this invention includes a bearing seat 9 and a movable rod 10 rotatably disposed on the bearing seat 9. The bearing seat 9 is provided with a coil spring (not shown in the figure). The movable rod 10 is composed of a first rod body 101 and a second rod body 102 that are perpendicular to each other. Under the action of the coil spring, the first rod body 101 tends to extend radially outward along the pressure rod 1, and the second rod body 102 tends to extend axially forward along the pressure rod 1. A roller 11 with a rolling plane that coincides with the axis of the pressure rod 1 is provided on the second rod body 102.

[0029] The length of the first rod 101 satisfies the following condition: when the pressure rod 1 is inserted into the camshaft hole to a depth equal to the set depth, at least a portion of the first rod 101 contacts the end face of the camshaft hole; the length of the second rod 102 satisfies the following condition: when the pressure rod 1 is inserted into the camshaft hole to a depth greater than the set depth, and the first rod 101 rotates under the obstruction of the end face of the camshaft hole, the second rod 102 rotates synchronously and the distance between the outer side of the roller 11 and the axis of the pressure rod 1 is greater than the distance between the outer side of the rotating block 7 and the axis of the pressure rod 1.

[0030] Preferably, in this invention, the pressure rod 1 has a through hole 12 extending from front to back. The adjusting component includes a central rod 13, which is movably inserted into the through hole 12 and connected to the through hole 12 with a key. In this way, the central rod 13 can only slide along the axial direction of the through hole 12 and cannot rotate relative to the pressure rod 1. The end of the central rod 13 is connected to a telescopic rod 15 through a spring shaft 14. The radius of the telescopic rod 15 is smaller than that of the central rod 13, so it can pass smoothly through the through hole 12. Under the action of the spring shaft 14, the telescopic rod 15 tends to be perpendicular to the central rod 13 and faces the same direction as the positioning part 3. In this way, when the telescopic rod 15 is disengaged from the through hole 12, it will immediately rotate to a vertical state. The telescopic rod 15 consists of an outer sleeve rod and an inner sleeve rod that are movably connected to each other, as well as a spring located between the outer sleeve rod and the inner sleeve rod (the spring elasticity is relatively small compared to the spring shaft 14, so that when the end of the telescopic rod 15 touches the inner wall of the shaft hole during rotation, it will contract itself to ensure that it rotates to a vertical state). A ball bearing 8 is provided at the end of the telescopic rod 15, which can also reduce friction.

[0031] In addition, the positioning part 3 is existing technology, which includes a pressure plate disposed on the side of the connector 2, a columnar groove located inside the pressure plate, and a steel ball located in the columnar groove and supported by a spring. For the convenience of stamping, the rear end of the pressure rod 1 is also provided with a connecting plate 16 for connecting stamping equipment (such as a liquid oxygen cylinder).

[0032] The specific operating procedure of this assembly equipment is as follows: First, the bushing is fitted onto the connector 2 at the front end of the pressure rod 1, and the oil hole of the bushing is aligned with the positioning part 3. Then, the pressure rod 1 is inserted into the camshaft shaft hole 18 to be pressed. The insertion block 6 and the rotating block 7 on the pressure rod 1 will enter the camshaft shaft hole 18 in sequence. The movable block 5 automatically retracts to match the shaft hole size. When the pressure rod 1 is inserted to the set depth, the ball bearings 8 on the outer side of the rotating block 7 contact the inner wall of the camshaft shaft hole, and part of the first rod body 101 contacts the end face of the camshaft shaft hole 18, playing a certain stopping role. At this time, the state is as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the pressure rod 1 can rotate stably around its axis. Then, the center rod 13 is inserted into the through hole 12 until the front telescopic rod 15 extends out of the through hole 12 and rotates to a vertical position, with the telescopic rod 15 facing the same direction as the positioning part 3. Rotating the center rod 13 at this point will cause the pressure rod 1 and bushing to rotate synchronously. The ball bearing 8 at the end of the telescopic rod 15 will also roll along the inner wall of the camshaft hole 18. By adjusting the insertion depth and angle of the center rod 13, the telescopic rod 15 can be inserted into the inclined oil hole, at which point the bushing oil hole will be aligned with the inclined oil hole. Next, the pressure rod 1 is further inserted (overcoming the resistance of the coil spring on the bearing seat 9) until the insertion depth exceeds the set depth. At this point, the end face of the shaft hole will block the first rod body 101, causing the movable rod 10 to rotate and the second rod body 102 to gradually swing outwards, ultimately causing the roller 11 to roll into contact with the inner wall of the shaft hole. The state at this point is as follows. Figure 6 As shown, the pressure rod 1 will be unable to rotate under the restriction of the roller 11 (the surface of the roller 11 is made of friction material, and the sliding friction in the non-rolling direction is large under the extrusion contact state), thus achieving circumferential positioning; then the adjusting part is taken out, and a stamping device is connected to the rear end of the pressure rod 1 to stamp the pressure rod 1. During the stamping process, the pressure rod 1 will not rotate in the circumferential direction until the bushing reaches the designated position and is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the shaft hole, and the bushing oil hole is aligned with the inclined oil hole in the camshaft shaft hole, thereby completing the assembly of the diesel engine camshaft bushing.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
