Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a diesel engine for oil drilling, and more particularly to a diesel engine starter motor installation device for oil drilling, belonging to the field of well site auxiliary equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] The advantages of diesel engines are high torque and good economic performance. Each working cycle goes through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Currently, in oil drilling operations, the power of drilling rigs and generators is mostly provided by diesel engines. Drilling diesel engines are heavy equipment and play a very important role in oil drilling operations.
[0003] For a diesel engine to transition from a stationary state to a working state, an external force must first be applied to rotate the engine crankshaft, causing the pistons to reciprocate. The combustible mixture in the cylinders burns and expands, doing work and pushing the pistons downwards, thus rotating the crankshaft. Only then can the diesel engine operate automatically, and the working cycle can proceed automatically. Therefore, the entire process from the crankshaft starting to rotate under external force to the engine automatically idling is called engine starting.
[0004] Currently, diesel engines are started by a starter motor, whose output pinion meshes with the flywheel gear at the end of the crankshaft. When the starter motor malfunctions or requires maintenance, it needs to be removed from the diesel engine for inspection and repair, and then reinstalled after repair.
[0005] When installing the starter motor, it is necessary to suspend the starter motor and move it towards the end where the flywheel sprocket is located until the fixed end of the starter motor contacts the end face of the motor mounting bracket. Then rotate the starter motor to align the mounting hole of the starter motor with the hole of the motor mounting bracket, and then insert the bolt.
[0006] Due to the harsh environment of the drilling team's field operations, the installation and removal of the diesel engine starter motor are currently being carried out manually in conjunction with a crane at the production site. This requires waiting for the crane to arrive, and the challenging environment makes crane access and lifting difficult. It takes four people three hours to complete the task. This increases maintenance costs, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, places high demands on worker skills, and poses certain safety hazards during the operation.
[0007] If the diesel engine stops operating, the drilling system will lose power, and if it cannot be started for a long time, it will create risks of complex downhole conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0040] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for installing a diesel engine starter motor for oil drilling, comprising the following steps in sequence:
[0041] S1. Fix the diesel engine starter motor mounting device for oil drilling to the side of the diesel engine base, and adjust the left and right support slots to be horizontal and the height to match the height of the motor fixing support frame.
[0042] S2. Pull the rack position adjusting rod forward so that the rack and sector gear are in a non-meshing state;
[0043] S3. Then, rotate the forward and backward adjusting handwheel to drive the left screw to rotate forward, so that the left support moves forward along the left support groove; at the same time, it drives the right support to move forward synchronously along the right support groove.
[0044] S4. Lift the diesel engine starter motor and place it on the lateral moving support. Secure the right end of the starter motor with a cable tie, and fix both ends of the cable tie to the buckles at both ends of the sector gear.
[0045] S5. Reverse the front and rear adjustment handwheel. By rotating the left screw in the opposite direction, the left and right supports will move backward synchronously, so that the diesel engine starter motor gradually approaches the diesel engine body until the starter gear of the starter motor is aligned with the hole on the diesel engine motor mounting bracket.
[0046] S6. Rotate the worm handwheel on the worm shaft in the forward direction to move the lateral moving support to the right. The diesel engine starter motor also moves to the right, so that the motor pinion passes through the motor seat hole until the flange of the starter motor contacts the flange of the motor fixed support. At this time, the motor pinion meshes with the flywheel gear of the diesel engine.
[0047] S7. If the mounting holes on the starter motor flange are aligned with the mounting holes on the motor mounting bracket flange, then directly insert bolts for fixing.
[0048] If the mounting holes on the starter motor flange are not aligned with the mounting holes on the motor mounting bracket flange, proceed to the next step.
[0049] S8. Push the rack position adjusting rod backward so that the protrusion of the adjusting rod engages with the top of the two moving screw blocks. At this time, the rack position adjusting rod rises to the high position, so that the rack rises and meshes with the sector gear.
[0050] S9. Turn the right handle to rotate the right screw, which will cause the rack and guide block above to move back and forth. The sector gear will swing at a certain angle, causing the diesel engine starter motor to rotate within a certain range until the mounting hole on the starter motor flange is aligned with the mounting hole on the motor mounting bracket flange. Then, insert bolts to fix it.
[0051] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved the following beneficial effects: it solves the problem of needing a crane and manpower to install and dismantle the diesel engine starter motor at the production site, and shortens the installation time to less than half an hour, greatly reducing the risk of complex underground conditions.
[0052] Existing technology in production sites involves manual labor and multiple operators for the installation and removal of starter motors, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to accidents such as motor drops and injuries if not handled carefully. This invention enables rapid installation and removal of diesel engine starter motors, saving manpower and resources, and is easy and safe to operate. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them.
[0069] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0070] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the diesel engine starter motor installation and disassembly device of the present invention consists of support legs, a left support seat assembly, a right support seat assembly, a transverse support seat assembly, a worm gear box assembly, and connecting parts.
[0071] The support legs include components such as the front support leg lower rod 1, the front support leg adjusting rod 2, the rear support leg fixing clip 14, the rear support leg lower rod 15, and the rear support leg adjusting rod 17. The lower end of the front support leg adjusting rod 2 is externally threaded into the upper end of the front support leg lower rod 1, and the lower end of the rear support leg adjusting rod 17 is externally threaded into the upper end of the rear support leg lower rod 15. Both can be height-adjusted within a certain range to ensure that requirements are met even when the starter motor installation position changes slightly.
[0072] The left support assembly includes a front and rear adjusting handwheel 3, a handwheel fixing nut 4, a left support 5, a left support groove 18, a left support groove rear stop block 34, a support groove front stop block 40, and a left screw 43. The top of the left front support leg adjusting rod 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom front end of the left support groove 18 via a flange, and the top of the left rear support leg adjusting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear end of the left support groove 18 via a flange, keeping the left support groove 18 horizontal. The groove opening of the left support groove 18 faces upward and extends along its entire length. The left support 5 is supported above the left support groove 18.
[0073] The bottom sides of the left support 5 are supported on the top of the left support groove 18. The bottom center of the left support 5 has a downward protruding left support lower protrusion. The left and right sides of the left support lower protrusion are respectively attached to the side wall of the groove of the left support groove 18. The center of the left support lower protrusion has a left support screw hole.

[0074] The rear end of the left screw 43 is rotatably supported in the rear stop block 34 of the left support groove, which is fixed to the rear port of the left support groove 18 by screws. The front end of the left screw 43 is rotatably supported in the front stop block 40 of the left support groove, which is fixed to the front port of the left support groove 18 by screws, so that the left screw 43 can only rotate and cannot move axially.
[0075] The front end of the left screw 43 is fixed with a front-to-back adjustment handwheel 3 by a handwheel fixing nut 4. Rotating the left screw 43 by the front-to-back adjustment handwheel 3 will drive the left support 5 to move back and forth along the left support groove 18.
[0076] The two ends of the transverse long fixing rod 12 are respectively inserted into the port of the transverse rod fixing seat 11. The flange of the transverse rod fixing seat 11 is respectively fixed to the inner walls of the left support groove 18 and the right support groove 49. The two transverse long fixing rods 12 connect the left support groove 18 and the right support groove 49 into a rigid whole.
[0077] When the left support 5 moves back and forth along the left support groove 18, it drives the right support 9 to move back and forth synchronously along the right support groove 49. The main bodies of both the left support 5 and the right support 9 are crescent-shaped with their openings facing upwards.

The inner end of the limiting screw 10 is inserted into the sector gear concave arc groove 28a through the small hole to limit the sector gear 28, ensuring that the sector gear 28 can only swing around its own axis.
[0092] The bottom of the concave groove 9a of the right support communicates with the long groove 9c of the right support. The long groove 9c of the right support accommodates a rack 29. The left and right sides of the rack 29 engage with the sides of the long groove 9c of the right support, allowing the rack 29 to move only back and forth. The rack 29 meshes with the bottom of the sector gear 28. The bottom of the rack 29 is integrated with the top of the guide block 31. The left and right sides of the guide block 31 extend downward to form downward-opening guide grooves. A rack position adjusting rod 30 extending in the front-back direction is embedded in the guide grooves. The rack position adjusting rod 30 can only move back and forth to control the raising and lowering of the rack 29.
[0093] The top of the rack position adjusting rod 30 is flat, and the bottom of the rack position adjusting rod 30 has two sets of adjusting rod grooves 30b and a downwardly protruding adjusting rod protrusion 30a along its length. The adjusting rod grooves 30b transition to the adjusting rod protrusion 30a via inclined surfaces. The front end of the rack position adjusting rod 30 extends from the notch of the support groove front stop block 40 and is provided with an adjusting rod hook 30c, which facilitates pulling the rack position adjusting rod 30 in the front-back direction.
[0094] The right screw 32 is located in the slot of the right support groove 49 and below the rack position adjustment rod 30. Two movable screw blocks 33 are screwed onto the right screw 32. The tops of the two movable screw blocks 33 are located below the grooves 30b of the two adjustment rods respectively. The left and right sides of the two movable screw blocks 33 are flush with the side walls of the long groove 9c of the right support, so that the movable screw blocks 33 can only move in the front and back direction.
[0095] The rear end of the right screw 32 is rotatably supported in the rear stop block 34 of the right support groove, which is fixed to the rear port of the right support groove 49 by screws. The front end of the right screw 32 is rotatably supported in the front stop block 40 of the right support groove, which is fixed to the front port of the right support groove 49 by screws, so that the right screw 32 can only rotate and cannot move axially.
[0096] The front end of the right screw 32 is fixed to the right handle 46 by key 47. The center of the outer end face of the right handle 46 is pressed with a handle fixing nut 45. The handle fixing nut 45 is screwed onto the threaded section of the front end of the right screw 32. A handle extension rod 44 is hinged to the circumference of the right handle.
[0097] Rotating the right handle 46 and the right screw 32 via the extension rod 44 will cause the two movable screw blocks 33 to move back and forth synchronously. The left and right sides of the two movable screw blocks 33 are respectively fixedly connected to the guide block 31 above via connecting blocks 33a. When the two movable screw blocks 33 move back and forth, they will drive the guide block 31 and the rack 29 to move back and forth.
[0098] In the initial state, the groove 30b of the adjusting rod engages with the top of the two moving screw blocks 33. At this time, the rack position adjusting rod 30 is in a low position, causing the rack 29 to disengage from the sector gear 28.
[0099] Push the rack position adjusting rod 30 backward so that the protrusion 30a of the adjusting rod engages with the top of the two moving screw blocks 33. At this time, the rack position adjusting rod 30 rises to the high position, so that the rack 29 meshes with the sector gear 28.
[0100] When the rack 29 and sector gear 28 are engaged, the right screw 32 is rotated by the right handle 46. The right screw 32 and the moving screw block 33 drive the rack 29 to move through the screw drive. The rack 29 and sector gear 28 form a rack and pinion transmission, which causes the sector gear 28 to swing within a certain range.
[0101] The rack position adjusting lever 30 is used to adjust the meshing or non-meshing state of the rack 29 and the sector gear 28 according to the working conditions. When the diesel engine starter motor does not need to rotate in the direction of the diesel engine crankshaft during assembly, the rack 29 and the sector gear 28 should be in a non-meshing state first, and other states can be adjusted according to working needs.
[0102] Each of the two sector edges of the sector gear 28 is screwed with a retaining ring 28c. The middle part of the binding strap passes around the circumference of the diesel engine starter motor and its two ends are fixed to the retaining ring 28c. This allows the sector gear 28 to drive the diesel engine starter motor to rotate slightly, and facilitates the alignment of the mounting holes on the starter motor with the mounting holes on the motor mounting bracket for installing the fixing bolts.
[0103] The following are the operating procedures for installing a diesel engine starter motor:
[0104] S1. Fix this device to the side of the diesel engine base, specifically including: fixing the two rear support leg fixing clips 14 to the inclined wall slots of the diesel engine base respectively, and supporting the lower ends of the two front support leg lower rods 1 to the bottom plate of the diesel engine base through the front support leg pads 48 respectively; adjusting the two front support leg adjusting rods 2 and the two rear support leg adjusting rods 17 so that the left support slot 18 and the right support slot 49 are in a horizontal state and the height matches the height of the motor fixing support frame.
[0105] S2. Pull the rack position adjusting rod 30 forward so that the adjusting rod protrusion 30a is disengaged from the moving screw block 33, that is, the moving screw block 33 is located in the adjusting rod groove 30b, and the rack 29 and guide block 31 fall to the low position so that the rack 29 and sector gear 28 are in a non-meshing state.
[0106] S3. Then, rotate the forward and backward adjusting handwheel 3 to drive the left screw 43 to rotate forward. Since the left screw 43 is fixed in the left support groove 18 through the front stop block 40 and the rear stop block 34 of the support groove, it can only rotate. The screw hole at the lower end of the left support 5 cooperates with the left screw 43. Therefore, when the left screw 43 rotates forward, the left support 5 moves forward along the left support groove 18; at the same time, it drives the right support 9 to move forward synchronously along the right support groove 49; so that the position of the lateral moving support 7 is forward, which makes it easier to avoid interference with the diesel engine exhaust pipe and other components above when hoisting the diesel engine starter motor.
[0107] S4. The diesel engine starter motor is lifted and placed on the transverse moving support 7 using simple tools such as a lifting pole and a hand-operated hoist. The right end of the starter motor is fixed with a cable tie, and the two ends of the cable tie are fixed to the buckles 28c at both ends of the sector gear 28.
[0108] S5. Reverse rotation of the front and rear adjustment handwheel 3 causes the left support 5 and right support 9 to move backward synchronously through the reverse rotation of the left screw 43, so that the diesel engine starter motor gradually approaches the diesel engine body until the starter gear of the starter motor is aligned with the hole on the diesel engine motor mounting bracket.
[0109] S6. Rotate the worm handwheel 39 on the worm shaft 36 in the forward direction. The worm shaft 36 and the worm wheel 22 drive the worm wheel shaft 13 to rotate through the transmission of the worm shaft and worm wheel. Therefore, the transverse moving support 7 that cooperates with the worm wheel shaft 13 moves to the right through the screw drive. The diesel engine starter motor placed on the transverse moving support 7 also moves to the right side of the flywheel gear plate, so that the motor pinion passes through the motor seat hole until the flange of the starter motor contacts the flange of the motor fixed support. At this time, the motor pinion meshes with the flywheel gear plate of the diesel engine.
[0110] S7. If the mounting holes on the starter motor flange are aligned with the mounting holes on the motor mounting bracket flange, then directly insert bolts for fixing.
[0111] If the mounting holes on the starter motor flange are not aligned with the mounting holes on the motor mounting bracket flange, proceed to the next step.
[0112] S8. Push the rack position adjusting rod 30 backward so that the protrusion 30a of the adjusting rod engages with the top of the two moving screw blocks 33. At this time, the rack position adjusting rod 30 rises to the high position, so that the rack 29 rises and meshes with the sector gear 28.
[0113] S9. Turn the right handle to drive the right screw 32 to rotate. Since the right screw 32 is axially positioned, the two moving screw blocks 33 drive the rack 29 and guide block 31 above to move back and forth. The sector gear 28 swings at a certain angle, driving the diesel engine starter motor to rotate within a certain range until the mounting hole on the starter motor flange is aligned with the mounting hole on the motor fixed support bracket flange. Then, bolts are inserted for fixing.
