[0002] In the repair of a two-stroke diesel engine of a ship, measuring the parallelism between the cylinder center line and the guide plate is an important item. In the past, the method of measuring the clearance was adopted, and a feeler gauge was used to measure the clearance between the upper guide plate and the crosshead. First, the crosshead was pushed against one end of the guide plate, and a feeler gauge with an appropriate thickness was selected and inserted vertically between the upper guide plate and the crosshead from both sides of the crosshead to measure the clearances at three points, namely the front, middle, and rear of the crosshead. Then, the crosshead was pushed against the other end of the guide plate, and the clearance between the crosshead and the upper guide plate was measured in the same way. This is time-consuming and laborious, and the measurement accuracy is not high, resulting in an improper adjustment of the guide plate clearance, which will increase the unidirectional friction between the cylinder wall of the diesel engine and the piston ring, affecting the mechanical efficiency and service life of the diesel engine. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The measurement auxiliary device includes a slide plate clamped in the chute, a bracket vertically fixed on the slide plate, a light target seat fixed at the end of the bracket and arranged vertically, and a cross light target placed on the upper surface of the light target seat;

[0008] S3. Move the slide plate along the chute to move the entire measurement auxiliary device to the highest position of the chute;

[0009] S4. Adjust the position of the cross light target on the light target seat, and at the same time observe with the collimator telescope to make the center of the target of the cross light target coincide with the cross center of the collimator telescope;

[0010] S5. Keep the position of the crosshair light target unchanged, slowly move the measurement auxiliary device downward along the chute to the lowest position, observe the lateral deviation and longitudinal deviation of the crosshair center of the crosshair light target from its cross center at this time using a collimator telescope, and calculate the non-parallelism between the center line of the diesel engine cylinder and the working surface of the guide plate according to the observation results.

[0013] Install a collimator telescope on the upper end face of the diesel engine cylinder so that the cross center of the collimator telescope coincides with the crosshair centers of the upper and lower adjustable light targets;

[0014] Remove the adjustable light targets on the upper and lower end faces of the diesel engine cylinder.

[0015] Preferably, a layer of protective soft pad is provided between the mounting contact surface of the bracket of the adjustable light target and the cylinder liner of the cylinder.

[0016] Preferably, a plurality of length-adjustable adjusting rods are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the light target base. The adjusting rods are arranged horizontally and their ends are fixed on the support frame, and the support frame is fixed on the light target base.

[0017] Preferably, the thickness of the slide plate is 0.01 mm - 0.02 mm smaller than the width of the chute, the cross section of the bracket is concave-shaped, and the light target base is cylindrical.

[0018] Preferably, the calculation formula for the non-parallelism γ between the center line of the diesel engine cylinder and the working surface of the guide plate is:

[0019]

[0020] Wherein, L is the moving distance of the slide plate from the highest position to the lowest position of the chute, a is the lateral deviation of the crosshair center of the crosshair light target from the cross center of the collimator telescope when the slide plate is at the lowest position of the chute, and b is the longitudinal deviation of the crosshair center of the crosshair light target from the cross center of the collimator telescope when the slide plate is at the lowest position of the chute.

This not only improves the measurement accuracy of the guide plate parallelism but also improves the measurement efficiency, effectively solving the problems that the traditional clearance measurement method has low measurement efficiency and accuracy, resulting in the adjustment of the guide plate clearance not in place, further increasing the unilateral friction between the cylinder wall of the diesel engine and the piston ring, and affecting the mechanical efficiency and service life of the diesel engine. At the same time, the measurement auxiliary device adopted in this application has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, convenient operation, and can be reused, greatly reducing the construction cost of the ship and improving the construction efficiency.

The deviation between the target centers of the upper and lower adjustable light targets and the center line of the diesel engine cylinder does not exceed 0.005 mm. Preferably, in order to prevent the brackets of the adjustable light targets from scratching the inner surface of the cylinder liner, a layer of protective soft pad can be provided between the installation contact surfaces of the brackets of the adjustable light targets and the cylinder liner;

[0048] S5. Keep the position of the cross light target 4 unchanged, and slowly move the measurement auxiliary device along the chute to the lowest position. Use the collimating telescope to observe the lateral deviation and longitudinal deviation of the center of the cross of the cross light target 4 from its cross center at this time, and calculate the non-parallelism between the center line of the diesel engine cylinder and the working surface of the guide plate 6 according to the observation results.
