Due to the application of multiple new technologies, the overall product design structure is complex, and in particular, the timing chain system is a key kinematic pair mechanism, and its performance directly affects the power, economy and reliability of the engine. The existing V-type twelve-cylinder engine chain system, such as the chain system involved in the invention patent application: an engine chain system and a vehicle (application number 202310710879.8), reduces friction loss by eliminating the intermediate idler, reduces phase deviation, improves timing accuracy, reduces overall fuel consumption and noise, avoids the reliability and use experience problems caused by the intermediate idler, and cooperates with the sprocket integrally arranged on the crankshaft, so that the sizes of the crankshaft, the intake camshaft and the exhaust camshaft can be reduced, thereby reducing the space required for installing the engine chain system, which is beneficial to optimizing the vehicle design and improving the overall product power.

[0068] Embodiment 1
[0069] Referring to Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the timing chain assembly device of the V-type engine provided by the embodiment of the application comprises: a layered assembly module 200, which is used for sequentially assembling an oil pump chain set, a left camshaft chain set and a right camshaft chain set, and tightening an oil pump chain wheel X2; a tensioning chain module 300, which is used for sequentially tensioning a left camshaft chain Z1, a right camshaft chain Y1 and an oil pump chain X1; and a camshaft chain wheel tightening module 400, which is used for tightening a right row camshaft chain wheel Y2, a right inlet camshaft chain wheel Y6, a left row camshaft chain wheel Z2 and a left inlet camshaft chain wheel Z6 in a clockwise direction as the tightening sequence.
[0070] First, the chain sets are installed in the order of "oil pump chain set-left camshaft chain set-right camshaft chain set", and then the chains are tensioned in the order of "left camshaft chain-right camshaft chain-oil pump chain", so that the chains are closely attached to the camshafts and the crankshaft, the gap between the chains and the camshafts and the crankshaft is eliminated, and finally the camshaft bolts are tightened one by one in the clockwise direction, so that the camshaft chain wheels are fixedly installed on the camshafts, the camshafts and the crankshaft are always synchronously operated, the power transmission efficiency decay is reduced, and the valve timing lag is eliminated, thereby improving the valve timing precision of the engine, the engine performance and quality, reducing the failure rate, improving the maintainability and the overall reliability, and prolonging the service life of the engine.
[0071] Referring to Figure 1 , 2 , 4, the layered assembly module 200 is provided with an initial positioning module 100 in advance:
[0072] The initial positioning module 100 is used for rotating and adjusting the crankshaft 1, the right row camshaft 2, the right inlet camshaft 3, the left inlet camshaft 4 and the left row camshaft 5 to the initial timing position by the positioning tool and fixing.
[0073] The crankshaft 1 and the camshafts are fixed, so that the assembly of the oil pump chain set, the left camshaft chain set and the right camshaft chain set can be completed.
[0074] Referring to Figure 1 , 3 , 5, 8, 9, 10, the initial positioning module 100 comprises:
[0075] The fixed crankshaft module 101 is used to set the crankshaft timing groove 1-4 on the crankshaft 1, and rotate the crankshaft 1 to make the crankshaft timing groove 1-4 coaxial with the cylinder block timing hole; the tail of the crankshaft timing pin 7 is installed in the crankshaft timing groove 1-4, and the middle part of the crankshaft timing pin 7 is fixedly connected to the cylinder block; the rear end of the crankshaft 1 is connected to the flywheel 6, the flywheel fixing plate 8 is installed on the flywheel 6, and the flywheel fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the cylinder block by fasteners;
[0076] The fixed camshaft module 102 is used to set camshaft timing grooves on the right-hand camshaft 2, right-in camshaft 3, left-in camshaft 4 and left-hand camshaft 5. The tail of the camshaft timing pin 9 is inserted into the camshaft timing groove, the middle of the camshaft timing pin 9 is fixedly connected to the camshaft cover, and the head of the camshaft timing pin 9 is provided with a nut that cooperates with a tightening tool.
[0077] The crankshaft timing pin 7 and flywheel retaining plate 8 are designed to fix the crankshaft 1 in the initial timing position. The crankshaft timing groove 1-4 is set in the middle of the crankshaft 1. The crankshaft timing groove 1-4 is rotated to a position coaxial with the timing hole of the cylinder block, so that the crankshaft 1 is in the initial timing position. Then, the crankshaft timing pin 7 is inserted into the crankshaft timing groove 1-4 to fix the middle part of the crankshaft 1 to the cylinder block, thus fixing the crankshaft 1 in the initial timing position. Since the flywheel 6 is installed at the rear end of the crankshaft 1, the flywheel retaining plate 8 fixes the flywheel 6, thereby fixing the rear end of the crankshaft 1. Fixing the middle and rear ends of the crankshaft 1 ensures that the crankshaft 1 will not shift when the chain assembly is installed at the front end of the crankshaft 1. The camshaft timing pin 9 is designed. The camshaft timing pin 9 is tightened by a tightening tool to fix the camshaft on the camshaft cover, thus fixing the camshaft in the initial timing position.
[0078] See Figure 1 As shown, the camshaft timing grooves are all located at the front ends of the right-hand camshaft 2, right-hand camshaft 3, left-hand camshaft 4, and left-hand camshaft 5.
[0079] The camshaft is a component with an extremely large shaft diameter ratio. Since the camshaft sprocket is installed at the front end of the camshaft via camshaft sprocket bolts, the front end of the camshaft is subjected to a large force when the camshaft sprocket bolts are tightened. If a camshaft timing groove is set at the rear end of the camshaft to fix the camshaft, the front and rear ends of the camshaft will bear a large load at the same time, which can easily cause the middle part of the camshaft to bend and deform, affecting the timing accuracy. Therefore, the camshaft timing groove is set near the front end of the camshaft, so that the force on the camshaft is concentrated at the front end, avoiding bending and deformation of the camshaft and affecting the timing accuracy.
[0080] See Figure 1 , 9 As shown, the flywheel fixing plate 8 is provided with threaded hole 8-2 and fixing tooth 8-1. After the fastener is screwed into the threaded hole 8-2, it is fixedly connected to the cylinder body, and the fixing tooth 8-1 is engaged with the flywheel 6.
[0081] The flywheel fixing plate 8 is clamped with the flywheel gear ring of the flywheel 6 through the fixing teeth 8-1, so as to fix the flywheel 6. The fastener is used to connect the flywheel fixing plate threaded hole 8-2 and the cylinder body at the same time, so as to fix the rear end of the crankshaft 1. In the embodiment, the fastener is a bolt.
[0082] Referring to Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 6, the layered assembly module 200 includes:
[0083] The oil pump chain assembly module 201 is used to connect the oil pump chain X1 with the oil pump driving sprocket 1-3, and place and tighten the oil pump bolt X3 in the oil pump sprocket X2, and install the oil pump tensioner X4.
[0084] The left camshaft chain assembly module 202 is used to connect the left camshaft chain Z1 with the left crankshaft sprocket 1-2 and wrap the left row camshaft sprocket Z2 and the left inlet camshaft sprocket Z6, install the left guide rail Z8, the left upper guide rail Z5, the left guide rail Z8 and the left tensioner Z9, and place the left row camshaft sprocket bolt Z3 in the left row camshaft sprocket Z2 without tightening, and place the left inlet camshaft sprocket bolt Z7 in the left inlet camshaft sprocket Z6 without tightening.
[0085] The right camshaft chain assembly module 203 is used to connect the right camshaft chain Y1 with the right crankshaft sprocket 1-1 and wrap the right row camshaft sprocket Y2 and the right inlet camshaft sprocket Y6, install the right guide rail Y8, the right upper guide rail Y5, the right guide rail Y4 and the right tensioner Y9, and place the right row camshaft sprocket bolt Y3 in the right row camshaft sprocket Y2 without tightening, and place the right inlet camshaft sprocket bolt Y7 in the right inlet camshaft sprocket Y6 without tightening.
[0086] The oil pump sprocket X2 is fixed on the oil pump, and then the chain and the tensioner and other accessories are arranged at the target position in the order of “oil pump chain assembly-left camshaft chain assembly-right camshaft chain assembly”.
[0087] Referring to Figure 1 , 2 The tensioning chain module 300 sequentially tensions the left camshaft chain Z1, the right camshaft chain Y1 and the oil pump chain X1 by sequentially tensioning the left tensioner Z9, the right tensioner Y9 and the oil pump tensioner S4.
[0088] After the step-by-step installation in the order of "oil pump chain set-left side camshaft chain set-right side camshaft chain set" through the layered assembly module 200, the left tensioner Z9, the right tensioner Y9 and the oil pump tensioner X4 are respectively tensioned in the order of "left side camshaft chain-right side camshaft chain-oil pump chain", so that the left side camshaft chain Z1, the right side camshaft chain Y1 and the oil pump chain X1 are respectively closely attached to the left side camshaft sprocket Z2, Z6, the right side camshaft sprocket Y2, Y6 and the oil pump sprocket X2, and the fitting clearance is eliminated.
[0089] Referring to Figure 1 、 2 , 7, the tightening camshaft sprocket module 400 comprises:
[0090] The determination tightening sequence module 401 is used for observing the positions of the right exhaust camshaft 2, the right intake camshaft 3, the left intake camshaft 4 and the left exhaust camshaft 5 at the front end of the engine, and taking the clockwise direction as the tightening sequence.
[0091] The sequentially tightening module 402 is used for sequentially tightening the right exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt Y3, the right intake camshaft sprocket bolt Y7, the left intake camshaft sprocket bolt Z7 and the left exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt Z3.
[0092] According to the rotation direction of the crankshaft 1, that is, observing the four camshafts of the chain structure at the front end of the engine, since the arrangement sequence of the four camshafts in the clockwise direction is the right exhaust camshaft 2, the right intake camshaft 3, the left intake camshaft 4 and the left exhaust camshaft 5 in turn, the right exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt Y3, the right intake camshaft sprocket bolt Y7, the left intake camshaft sprocket bolt Z7 and the left exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt Z3 are sequentially tightened, so as to fix the corresponding camshaft sprocket, complete the fastening of the camshaft and the camshaft sprocket, eliminate the fitting clearance between the crankshaft, the chain and the sprocket, realize the synchronous operation of the crankshaft 1 and the camshaft at all times, and eliminate the camshaft lag phenomenon.
