[0026] Four symmetrically distributed bolt holes are provided on the flange plate 3, and the aperture of the bolt holes matches that of the frame plate 6.
[0027] The welding surface of the square plate 4 is roughened to enhance the welding strength. The adjustment accuracy of the telescopic control hole 5 is ±0.5 mm. The first round steel 11, the second round steel 12 and the flange plate 3, the square plate 4 are connected by welding or integrally formed. The MD type top code 1 is made of cast iron and its surface is coated with a wear-resistant coating. The locking mechanism is a manual knob or a hydraulic locking device. The device also includes auxiliary support rods, which are detachably connected to the middle parts of the first round steel 11 and the second round steel 12. Scale lines are marked on the surfaces of the first round steel 11 and the second round steel 12 to indicate the adjustment amount. A shock-absorbing gasket is provided at the connection between the flange plate 3 and the frame plate 6.
[0028] The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the head end of a marine diesel engine frame, which is used to quickly and accurately adjust the perpendicularity between the head end and the bottom of the frame, and avoid damage to the frame and tools caused by traditional welding methods. The following will describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] As Figure 1 shown, the adjustment device mainly consists of the following components: MD type top code 1: As the core adjustment component, it is internally provided with a telescopic control hole 5. The telescopic amount of the MD type top code 1 is controlled by the tightening and loosening of the bolt in the telescopic control hole 5, so as to adjust the position of the head end of the frame. The MD type top code 1 is made of cast iron, and its surface is coated with a wear-resistant coating to extend its service life.
[0030] The first round steel 11 and the second round steel 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the MD type top code 1, and are made of high-strength alloy steel, and their surfaces are treated with rust prevention. The outer end of the first round steel 11 is welded with a flange plate 3, and the outer end of the second round steel 12 is welded with a square plate 4. The lengths of the first round steel 11 and the second round steel 12 can be adjusted according to the cylinder diameter of the frame, and scale lines are marked on their surfaces to assist in adjusting the length of the device.

[0033] As Figure 2 shown: Installation and adjustment steps:
[0034] 1 Pre-installation: Align the flange plate 3 with the flange plate 6 at the head end of the frame and fix it with high-strength bolts; weld the square plate 4 to the fixed block 7, and clean the welding slag after welding.
[0035] 2 Adjust the perpendicularity: Loosen the fastening bolt of the telescopic control hole 5, and adjust the position of the head end of the frame by the telescopic movement of the MD type top code 1. Observe the scale line or use a level to measure until the perpendicularity between the head end of the frame and the bottom reaches the requirement: accuracy ±0.5 mm.
[0036] 3 Locking device: After the adjustment is completed, tighten the locking mechanism of the MD type top code 1 to ensure that the device remains stable in a vibrating environment.

[0038] Taking an existing marine diesel engine as an example, the aperture of the flange at the head end of the engine frame is Φ20 mm, and the distance between the fixed blocks is 800 mm. Select the corresponding length of round steel 2, and after installation, adjust it through the telescopic control hole 5. The verticality calibration can be completed within 10 minutes, and the accuracy reaches 0.3 mm, which is much higher than the ±1 mm of the traditional process.
