Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of marine diesel engine maintenance, and in particular relates to a device and a method for repairing a main bearing cap in a high-power marine diesel engine room. Background Art

[0002] The main bearing cap is one of the key parts of a marine diesel engine. It is installed on the main bearing support cross plate of the fuselage and serves as half of the main bearing seat. After being assembled with the fuselage, it is processed to form a high-precision main bearing hole for the crankshaft to operate.

[0003] After a certain type of high-power marine diesel engine 1 (5.5m long × 1.8m wide × 2.9m high, V-type 20 cylinders, 11 gear main bearing cover model) was delivered to the user, it was found that the strength of the front and rear gear main bearing covers (KS, KGS) (360mm wide, 10kg heavy) did not meet the requirements of the drawings. After long-term operation, deformation and looseness will occur, which is very likely to cause major quality accidents such as burning bearings and shaft seizure, resulting in machine damage and death. Therefore, it is urgent to repair the main shaft cover in the narrow space in the engine room 3 (see Figure 1-3 ). Through analysis, the following difficulties exist in the maintenance of the main bearing cap in the cabin:

[0004] 1) The main bearing cap 1-3 is the first part to be assembled in the diesel engine, and is an integrally bored part with the fuselage 1-1. It is the most basic single-mounted fixing part of the diesel engine. The conventional operation requires breaking the compartment 3-3 to fish out the diesel engine and then returning it to the factory for repair. The cost of breaking the compartment, returning the diesel engine to the factory for transportation, and repairing it is huge, and the repair cost is about tens of millions.

[0005] 2) The diesel engine is located in the bottom cabin of the hull. The relevant cabin on the top needs to be cut to remove the whole engine. The diesel engine is lifted out by a large-tonnage crane from the outside and placed inside the soundproof box 2 in the cabin (the maintenance space is about 0.5m). The oil, water, gas, electricity and other systems are involved in complex engineering, with huge engineering workload, complicated operation and high difficulty coefficient.

[0006] 3) The conventional factory repair method requires the diesel engine to be completely disassembled (the diesel engine is assembled from more than 10,000 parts), the fuselage 1-1 is removed, the new main bearing cover 1-3 is installed, the diesel engine 1 is reassembled, and after the bench test is passed, it is returned to the cabin for positioning, alignment, and restoration of the cabin systems. A large number of disassembly and assembly tools and maintenance sites are required. However, the space in the cabin is small, construction is difficult, and cleanliness control is difficult, so the conventional whole-machine disassembly and maintenance plan cannot be used in the cabin.

[0007] 4) The diesel engine is heavy (greater than 20 tons). The lifting beam type whole machine hoist (3m lifting space) of this model is small in the cabin (1.5m lifting space). This type of hoist cannot be installed and used, making it difficult to lift the diesel engine.

[0008] 5) The main bearing cover 1-3 and the fuselage 1-1 are interference fit (interference 0.01-0.06mm), and the fuselage needs to be opened (0.1-0.5mm) during disassembly and assembly. The main bearing cover is fastened to the fuselage 1-1 by a set of main bearing bolts 1-4 and a set of transverse bolts 1-6. The main bearing bolts are high-strength bolts (elongation 1-1.05mm), and the transverse bolts are tightened by torque plus angle, which has high tightening requirements and is difficult to assemble.

[0009] 6) Normal maintenance should be carried out by boring the fuselage 1-1 and the new main bearing cap to meet the coaxiality of adjacent gears ≤0.04mm and the coaxiality of each gear ≤0.2mm. Before installing the crankshaft, test-install the main bearing cap with bushings and measure the main bearing aperture size and lateral ovality ≤0.07mm to ensure a suitable oil gap with the crankshaft to meet the lubrication and heat dissipation of the crankshaft. The assembly precision is high, which makes maintenance difficult.

[0010] Through investigation, there are three existing maintenance solutions:

[0011] Plan 1: After the diesel engine is fished out of the cabin, it is returned to the factory to repair the main bearing cap. The factory repair method requires the diesel engine to be completely disassembled, the fuselage to be removed, new main bearing caps to be installed, the diesel engine to be reinstalled, and the bench test to be passed before it is returned to the cabin for positioning, alignment, restoration of the cabin systems, and repair welding of the broken cabin. This process requires a large number of disassembly and assembly tools and repair sites. Currently, there are more than 20 cases of this type of aircraft being returned to the factory for repair and replacement of main bearing caps of various gears.

[0012] Solution 2: A method for replacing a main engine crankshaft of a ship, including setting a lifting point, confirming a lifting position, opening a process hole, presetting a bracket, removing accessories, lifting the crankshaft and the frame at the same time, lowering the crankshaft to the preset bracket, translating the crankshaft, lifting the crankshaft again, moving the crankshaft forward, slowly turning the crankshaft, the crankshaft exiting the process hole, the new crankshaft entering the cabin in the reverse process, and installing and positioning.

[0013] Solution 3: A method and device for assembling a crankshaft with a straight fuselage, in which the crankshaft is fixed, the fuselage is lifted and lowered, and the crankshaft is pre-positioned; the fuselage is fixed, the crankshaft is raised, and the fuselage is finally positioned and installed. This method is widely used in the crankshaft assembly process in the production of medium-speed and high-power diesel engines.

[0014] The above three solutions have the following defects:

[0015] Solution 1: This solution is suitable for diesel engines whose main bearing caps of all gears need to be replaced and repaired. The amount of work required to repair a damaged engine is huge, with a repair cost of tens of millions for each engine. The repair scenes are frequently switched, and many projects and units are involved. The scope of the incident is large, and there are various uncontrollable potential risks.

[0016] Option 2: This option is suitable for replacement inside the crankshaft compartment. The focus is on the description of the hoisting method of the entire engine and crankshaft inside the compartment. There is ample space inside the compartment and lifting is simple. The technical difficulties in repairing the main bearing cover mentioned above are not explained. The maintenance process method of the diesel engine itself is unclear, and the overall option is relatively rough.

[0017] Option 3: This option is applicable to the normal process of installing the crankshaft of a diesel engine, and focuses on a crankshaft installation option when the fuselage is upright. It fails to explain the technical difficulties in repairing the proposed bearing cover, fails to identify the complexity and difficulty of in-cabin maintenance, and cannot solve the technical difficulties in repairing the main bearing cover involved in this case.

[0018] In summary, the maintenance of the main bearing cap in the cabin of this type of diesel engine is complex, technically demanding, and difficult to construct. The existing related maintenance process solutions all have defects and cannot effectively guide the maintenance of the main bearing cap in the cabin of this type of diesel engine. In order to solve the above-mentioned problem of in-cabin maintenance of the main bearing cap, reduce the difficulty and complexity of maintenance construction, eliminate maintenance risks, significantly reduce maintenance costs, and control the scope of the impact of the event itself, it is necessary to design a new device and method for in-cabin maintenance of the main bearing cap of a high-power marine diesel engine.
