Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a processing technology for large-sized dual-fuel marine diesel engine parts, and particularly to a processing method for the air inlet holes of the gas valve holes on the cylinder head of a dual-fuel marine low-speed engine, belonging to the technical field of dual-fuel marine diesel engine processing. Background Art

[0002] The gas valve hole is a key part on the cylinder head of a dual-fuel marine diesel engine. Its traditional structure is shown in Figure 1 , the gas valve is installed in the gas valve hole of the cylinder head, and the intake of gas is connected to the gas valve through an outer pipe. The gas valve hole structure of this design is simple, and the processing is also very simple. It can be directly completed by using conventional drilling, boring, and milling cutters.

[0003] However, some large-sized dual-fuel marine diesel engine cylinder heads adopt a relatively special structure for the gas valve holes. Taking the main engine of the G95ME-C-LGIM model as an example, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the gas valve hole of its cylinder head consists of a main valve hole D1, a main air inlet hole D2, and a parallel air inlet hole group D3; one end of the parallel air inlet hole group D3 is communicated with the main valve hole D1, and the other end is communicated with the main air inlet hole D2. The axis of the parallel air inlet hole group D3 forms an angle of 58° with the axis of the main valve hole D1 and an angle of 32° with the orifice plane of the main valve hole D1. The parallel air inlet hole group D3 is composed of three first air inlet connection holes D4, a second air inlet connection hole D5, and a third air inlet connection hole D6 with parallel axes and intersecting cross-sections; the first air inlet connection hole D4, the second air inlet connection hole D5, and the third air inlet connection hole D6 have the same size, with a diameter of 38 mm, a center distance of 21.5 mm between holes, and a depth > 350 mm.

[0004] Since the first air inlet connection hole D4, the second air inlet connection hole D5, and the third air inlet connection hole D6 are parallel in axis from beginning to end and have intersecting cross-sections, resulting in their cross-sections becoming incomplete circles with two adjacent breaks, there are serious tool deflection and tool knocking situations during the tool processing. In addition, due to the 32° angle between the parallel air inlet hole group D3 and the orifice plane of the main valve hole D1, it causes interference to the machine tool spindle, so the tool needs to be lengthened. As a result, the length-diameter ratio of the processing tool exceeds 10 times. Therefore, the processing of the gas valve holes of this special structure of dual-fuel marine diesel engine cylinder heads is much more difficult compared with the gas valve holes of the traditional structure. Especially in the parallel air inlet hole group D3 part, it makes it impossible to complete the processing using conventional drilling, boring, and milling processing methods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a processing method for the intake holes of the gas valve holes on the cylinder head of a large dual-fuel marine diesel engine, aiming at the difficulty in machining the intake holes of the gas valve holes with a special structure on the cylinder head. By scientifically arranging the cutting sequence, setting up the tooling and reasonably using the cutting tools, a deep hole group with parallel axes and intersecting cross-sections that cannot be machined by conventional processing methods is completed, while meeting the processing requirements of the intake holes of the gas valve holes.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0007] A processing method for the intake holes of the gas valve holes on the cylinder head of a dual-fuel marine low-speed engine. The gas valve holes are arranged on the cylinder head and include a main valve hole, a main intake hole and a parallel intake hole group. One end of the parallel intake hole group communicates with the main valve hole, and the other end communicates with the main intake hole. The axis of the parallel intake hole group forms an angle of 58° with the axis of the main valve hole and an angle of 32° with the orifice plane of the main valve hole. The parallel intake hole group includes a first intake connection hole, a second intake connection hole and a third intake connection hole with parallel axes and intersecting cross-sections. The second intake connection hole is located between the first intake connection hole and the third intake connection hole. The first intake connection hole, the second intake connection hole and the third intake connection hole have the same size, with a diameter of 38 mm, a hole center distance of 21.5 mm, and a depth > 350 mm. The characteristics of the processing method are as follows:

[0008] Step 1, machine the second intake connection hole

[0009] Taking the horizontal axis as the reference, turn the workpiece by 32°, use a milling cutter to machine a plane at the orifice of the second intake connection hole to create conditions for the subsequent centering of the drill bit, then use a short drill bit with a diameter of 38 mm to pre-drill a shallow hole, and finally use a gun drill with a diameter of 38 mm to complete the machining of the second intake connection hole;

[0010] Step 2, machine the side fixing screw holes

[0011] Taking the horizontal axis as the reference, turn the workpiece to -58°, and machine three side fixing screw holes on the cylinder head. The side fixing screw holes communicate with the second intake connection hole;

[0012] Step 3, machine the packing rod

[0013] Machine a cylindrical packing rod. Three counterbores are machined on the cylindrical surface of the packing rod, and two pull pin plate mounting screw holes along the axial direction of the packing rod are machined on the end face. The outer circle of the packing rod has a clearance fit with the second intake connection hole;

[0014] Step 4, install the packing rod

[0015] Insert the packing rod into the second air inlet connection hole, align the three counterbores with the three side fixing screw holes on the cylinder head respectively, tighten the side fixing screws in these side fixing screw holes, and let the heads enter the counterbores to fix the packing rod.

[0016] Step Five, machine the first air inlet connection hole and the third air inlet connection hole

[0017] Taking the horizontal axis as the reference, turn the workpiece by 32°, use a milling cutter to machine a plane at the orifice of the first air inlet connection hole and the third air inlet connection hole to create conditions for subsequent drill centering. Then, use a short drill with a diameter of 38 mm to pre-drill a shallow hole, and finally use a gun drill with a diameter of 38 mm to complete the machining of the first air inlet connection hole and the third air inlet connection hole.

[0018] Step Six, pull out the packing rod

[0019] Install the pin pulling plate through the pin pulling plate mounting screw holes on the end face of the packing rod, then connect the pin pulling device to this pin pulling plate, and pull out the packing rod outward to complete the machining of the air inlet holes of the gas valve holes.

[0020] Further, in the above Step Two, the side fixing screw holes are full-thread holes, and the axes are perpendicular to the axis of the second air inlet connection hole.

[0021] Further, in the above Step Three, the material of the packing rod is the same as that of the cylinder head body.

[0022] Further, in the above Step Six, the pin pulling plate is a disc-shaped component, which is provided with a connection hole for connecting the packing rod and a threaded hole for connecting the pin pulling device.

[0023] Compared with the traditional processing method, the present invention has achieved the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1) The present invention takes the measure of inserting a packing rod into the already machined second air inlet connection hole in the middle, so that when machining the first air inlet connection hole and the third air inlet connection hole on both sides, the cutting tool cuts into the solid packing rod, and the working condition is the same as that of machining a solid part, avoiding the occurrence of tool deflection and tool knocking at the break part of the intersecting holes in the cross section. This not only reduces the damage of the cutting tool, but also ensures the machining quality of the air inlet holes.

[0025] 2) The present invention scientifically arranges the cutting processing sequence. First, the machining of the second air inlet connection hole in the middle is completed, creating conditions for machining the first air inlet connection hole and the third air inlet connection hole by combining the packing rod tooling.

[0026] In summary, the present invention solves the defect that the conventional processing method cannot machine parallel and intersecting deep holes in the cross section, realizes the high-efficiency and high-quality machining of the air inlet holes of the gas valve holes of the cylinder head of a dual-fuel marine low-speed engine, and meets the requirements of the drawings.
