[0020] The realization of the purpose of this application, its functional features and advantages will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Detailed implementation manners

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the following further details this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not used to limit this application.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7, this application provides a support device for crankshaft inspection, which includes a support assembly 1, a drive assembly 2, two first transmission assemblies 3, two pushing assemblies 4, two clamping assemblies 5, two second transmission assemblies 6 and a third transmission assembly 7. The support assembly 1 includes a support portion 12 and two mounting boxes 11. The surfaces of the two mounting boxes 11 close to each other are both provided with first through holes 112 for the crankshaft to pass through; the drive assembly 2 is arranged in one of the two mounting boxes 11; the two first transmission assemblies 3 are respectively arranged in the two mounting boxes 11; the two pushing assemblies 4 are respectively movably arranged in the two mounting boxes 11; the two clamping assemblies 5 are respectively movably arranged in the two mounting boxes 11, and the clamping assembly 5 is connected to the first transmission assembly 3; the two second transmission assemblies 6 are respectively arranged in the two mounting boxes 11, and one of the two second transmission assemblies 6 is connected to the drive assembly 2. The second transmission assembly 6 is connected to the pushing assembly 4 to make the pushing assembly 4 move in the vertical direction so that the clamping assembly 5 approaches the end of the crankshaft. When the clamping assembly 5 clamps the end of the crankshaft, the second transmission assembly 6 can be connected to the first transmission assembly 3 and cooperate with the first transmission assembly 3 to make the clamping assembly 5 rotate; the third transmission assembly 7 is arranged on the support assembly 1, and the third transmission assembly 7 is connected to the two second transmission assemblies 6, and the two mounting boxes 11 are slidably connected to the support portion 12 to be able to adjust the distance between the two mounting boxes 11.

[0023] In the embodiment provided by this application, the two ends of the crankshaft to be inspected respectively pass through the first through holes 112 and extend into the mounting boxes 11. The drive assembly 2 operates to make the second transmission assembly 6 move, and then make the pushing assembly 4 move and gradually approach and abut against the clamping assembly 5. The clamping assembly 5 will approach the end of the crankshaft under the pushing action of the pushing assembly 4. When the clamping assembly 5 moves to clamp the end of the fixed column crankshaft, it will drive the first transmission assembly 3 to move from the state of being disengaged from the second transmission assembly 6 to the state of being connected to the second transmission assembly 6. The continuous movement of the second transmission assembly 6 will cooperate with the first transmission assembly 3 to make the clamping assembly 5 rotate, and then make the crankshaft rotate. In this way, only by manually operating one drive assembly 2 to run, it can be realized that the clamping assembly 5 first automatically clamps the end of the crankshaft and then rotates the crankshaft, improving the degree of automation, thereby improving the efficiency of inspecting multiple crankshafts and reducing the labor intensity of workers. By setting the third component, after adjusting the distance between the two mounting boxes 11, it can still ensure the synchronous movement of the second transmission assemblies 6 in the two mounting boxes 11, and then can inspect crankshafts of different lengths, improving the versatility of the device. Among them, mounting columns can be detachably connected to the two ends of the crankshaft, and the mounting columns are located in the mounting boxes 11, so that the clamping assembly 5 can clamp the mounting columns and facilitate the rotation of the crankshaft.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the second transmission assembly 6 includes a bidirectional lead screw 61, the bidirectional lead screw 61 is rotatably disposed through the mounting box 11, the driving assembly 2 includes a driving motor 21, a driving shaft 22, a first bevel gear 23 and a second bevel gear 24, the driving motor 21 is mounted on one of the two mounting boxes 11; one end of the driving shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 21; the first bevel gear 23 is fixedly connected to the other end of the driving shaft 22; the second bevel gear 24 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 61 and meshes with the first bevel gear 23. The bidirectional lead screw 61 is threadedly connected to the pushing assembly 4.

[0025] Start the driving motor 21 to rotate the driving shaft 22, drive the first bevel gear 23 to rotate, and then drive the bidirectional lead screw 61 to rotate through the second bevel gear 24. The bidirectional lead screw 61 is connected to the pushing assembly 4. When the bidirectional lead screw 61 rotates, the pushing assembly 4 will move close to the clamping assembly 5 along the vertical direction.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the pushing assembly 4 includes two movable blocks 41, two sliders 42, two fixing plates 44 and two pushing parts 43. The two movable blocks 41 are respectively threadedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 61. A plurality of limiting holes 411 arranged at annular intervals are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the movable block 41; the two sliders 42 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 11. Both sliders 42 are fixedly connected with mounting rings 412, and the mounting rings 412 are rotatably sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the movable block 41; a first chute 421, a second chute 422 and a through hole extending in the horizontal direction are provided in the slider 42. The first chute 421 and the through hole are both communicated with the second chute 422. A first elastic member 4211 is provided in the first chute 421. The first elastic member 4211 is fixedly connected with a limiting rod 4221. One end of the limiting rod 4221 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first chute 421, and the other end can correspond to the limiting hole 411; a first abutting member 423 passing through the through hole is provided on the outer wall of the limiting rod 4221, an electromagnet 424 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole, and an iron block 4231 is provided on the first abutting member 423; the two fixing plates 44 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 11. An installation cylinder 441 is provided on the fixing plate 44. A second elastic member 443 is provided in the installation cylinder 441. The second elastic member 443 is fixedly connected with a second abutting member 442. The second abutting member 442 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation cylinder 441. The surfaces of the first abutting member 423 and the second abutting member 442 facing each other are inclined; the two pushing parts 43 are fixedly connected to the slider 42 and can abut against the clamping assembly 5.

[0027] When the bidirectional lead screw 61 rotates, the two movable blocks 41 approach each other along the vertical direction, driving the mounting ring 412 and the slider 42 to move vertically. When the pushing portion 43 on the slider 42 abuts against the clamping assembly 5, as the slider 42 moves, the pushing portion 43 will push the clamping assembly 5 to clamp the end of the crankshaft. When the slider 42 moves to a position where the clamping assembly 5 tightly clamps and fixes the end of the crankshaft, the first transmission assembly 3 will be connected to the second transmission assembly 6. During the movement of the slider 42, the inclined surface of the first abutting member 423 will contact the inclined surface of the second abutting member 442. As the slider 42 continues to move, the first abutting member 423 will drive the limiting rod 4221 out of the limiting hole 411 and compress the first elastic member 4211. The electromagnet 424 is energized and will attract the iron block 4231. When the first transmission assembly 3 and the second transmission assembly 6 are connected, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 61 will cause the clamping assembly 5 to rotate through the first transmission assembly 3. When the bidirectional lead screw 61 and the clamping assembly 5 rotate, the movable block 41 will rotate, and the slider 42 will remain positioned in place to keep the clamping assembly 5 in a clamped state of the crankshaft end, ensuring that the clamping assembly 5 can clamp the crankshaft and rotate smoothly between the two pushing portions 43.

[0028] After inspecting the crankshaft, de-energize the electromagnet 424. The iron block 4231 will be released from the attraction of the electromagnet 424, and the limiting rod 4221 will be inserted into the limiting hole 411 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 4211. As the bidirectional lead screw 61 continues to rotate, the movable block 41 and the slider 42 will move away from the clamping assembly 5 and return to their original positions to facilitate the removal of the crankshaft. Among them, the magnitude of the current applied to the electromagnet 424 can be controlled so that the sum of the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 424 and the elastic force of the second elastic member 443 is greater than the elastic force of the first elastic member 4211, and the elastic force of the first elastic member 4211 is greater than the elastic force of the second elastic member 443. In this way, the limiting rod 4221 can smoothly compress the first elastic member 4211 and disengage from the limiting hole 411. Since it is not easy to see the clamping state of the clamping assembly 5 in the installation box 11, the electromagnet 424 can be kept energized and in an attracting state before inspecting the crankshaft. After inspecting the crankshaft, de-energize the electromagnet 424 to allow the second abutting member 442 to compress the spring again, enabling the limiting rod 4221 to smoothly insert into the limiting hole 411. The aperture of the limiting hole 411 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the limiting rod 4221 to facilitate the insertion of the limiting rod 4221 into the limiting hole 411.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the pushing portion 43 includes a connecting body 431 and a pushing body 432. One end of the connecting body 431 is fixedly connected to the slider 42, and the other end is fixedly connected to the pushing body 432. The pushing body 432 is semicircularly arranged, and a plurality of balls 4321 are provided on the surface of the pushing body 432 away from the connecting body 431; the clamping assembly 5 includes two clamping plates arranged in a semicircular shape, and both clamping plates are connected to the first transmission assembly 3 and are located between the two pushing portions 43.

[0030] When the cross-sections of the two pushing bodies 432 are in contact, a complete circle will be formed. When the cross-sections of the two clamping plates are in contact, a complete circle will also be formed. The rolling balls 4321 will be in contact with the surfaces of the two clamping plates facing away from each other. In this way, not only can the end of the crankshaft be firmly clamped, but also the two clamping plates can rotate smoothly between the two pushing bodies 432 and drive the crankshaft to rotate smoothly. The arrangement of the rolling balls 4321 facilitates the rotation of the two clamping plates when the clamping plates clamp the crankshaft. Of course, lubricant can also be applied to the surfaces of the two pushing bodies 432 close to each other to improve the smoothness of the surfaces of the two pushing bodies 432 close to each other, so that the two clamping plates can rotate smoothly when the surfaces of the two pushing bodies 432 close to each other are in contact with the surfaces of the two clamping plates facing away from each other.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the second transmission assembly 6 further includes a third bevel gear 62 provided on the bidirectional lead screw 61. The first transmission assembly 3 includes a mounting seat 32, a rotating cylinder 34, a movable box 31, a rotating column 33, a fourth bevel gear 333, two connecting members 38 and a fixed cylinder 35.

The third bevel gear 62 is located in the through hole 321. One end of the rotating cylinder 34 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the communication hole. The inner wall of the rotating cylinder 34 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves. The movable box 31 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating cylinder 34.

The fourth bevel gear 333 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating column 33 and can mesh with the third bevel gear 62. The two connecting members 38 are respectively fixedly connected to the two clamping plates.

[0032] When the two clamping plates approach the end of the crankshaft along the vertical direction, the connecting member 38 and the moving plate 381 will move along the length direction of the rotating cylinder 34 and stretch the third elastic member 39. The inserting rod 3811 will move towards the inclined groove 331. When the inserting rod 3811 moves from the higher part of the inclined groove 331 to the lower part of the inclined groove 331, the rotating column 33 will move along the horizontal direction towards the bidirectional lead screw 61. When the fourth bevel gear 333 on the rotating column 33 meshes with the third bevel gear 62, the rotation of the rotating column 33 will cause the rotating cylinder 34 to rotate through the strip-shaped block 332, and then cause the two connecting members 38 and the two clamping plates to rotate, and realize the rotation of the crankshaft. After the crankshaft is inspected, the moving plate 381 moves away from the rotating cylinder 34 under the elastic force of the third elastic member 39, so that the inserting rod 3811 disengages from the inclined groove 331. Furthermore, the rotating column 33 will move away from the bidirectional lead screw 61 under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 36, so that the fourth bevel gear 333 disengages from the third bevel gear 62.

[0034] When the two mounting boxes 11 approach or move away from each other, the rotating rods 73 will move in the movable cylinder 72, and the driving plates 731 will move along the horizontal direction in the driving grooves. When one of the two bidirectional lead screws 61 rotates, the sixth bevel gear 75 will cooperate with the fifth bevel gear 732 to rotate the rotating rod 73. The movable cylinder 72 is rotated through the driving plates 731 and the driving grooves. When the movable cylinder 72 rotates, the other rotating rod 73 will be rotated through the driving grooves and the driving plates 731, and then the other of the two bidirectional lead screws 61 will rotate. In this way, it can be ensured that after adjusting the distance between the two mounting boxes 11, only the operation of one driving motor 21 can also rotate the two bidirectional lead screws 61.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the support portion 12 includes two brackets 122 and a placement plate 121. The two ends of the placement plate 121 are respectively fixedly connected to the tops of the two brackets 122. The placement plate 121 abuts against the two mounting boxes 11. The placement plate 121 is provided with two sliding holes 1211. A moving body 83 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 1211.

By starting the hydraulic cylinder 8, the telescopic end moves to make the placement plate 81 move in the vertical direction, and then the distance between the two mounting boxes 11 is automatically adjusted through the two connecting rods 82 and the moving body 83, saving manpower.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, a support block 97 is movably provided on the placement plate 121. An inspection cylinder 9 for the crankshaft to pass through is provided on the support block 97. A probe 95 for inspecting the crankshaft is provided on the inner wall of the inspection cylinder 9. One end of the other of the two bidirectional lead screws 61 is provided with a cam 612. A fixed block 1213 and a mounting block are provided on the bottom surface of the placement plate 121. The fixed block 1213 is provided with a receiving cavity. A fifth elastic member 12131 is provided in the receiving cavity. A sliding rod 12132 is movably inserted through the mounting block. One end of the sliding rod 12132 extends into the receiving cavity and is fixedly connected to the fifth elastic member 12131. The other end is provided with a pulley 6121 that abuts against the cam 612. A vertical plate 971 is provided on the sliding rod 12132. A sliding hole 1212 is provided on the placement plate 121. The inner wall of the sliding hole 1212 is slidably connected to the vertical plate 971. The vertical plate 971 is fixedly connected to the support block 97.

[0037] Only by starting the drive motor 21 to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 61 can the cam 612 also be rotated, causing the sliding rod 12132 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, and then causing the vertical plate 971 and the support block 97 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, so that the inspection cylinder 9 reciprocates in the horizontal direction, facilitating the automatic movement of the probe 95 to detect the crankshaft and reducing the labor intensity of workers for holding the probe 95 to inspect the crankshaft. Among them, when the two mounting boxes 11 approach each other, the cam 612 will push the sliding rod 12132. One end of the sliding rod 12132 will compress the fifth elastic member 12131 and move a certain distance in the receiving cavity. When the cam 612 rotates, the sliding rod 12132 will still compress the fifth elastic member 12131 again and reciprocate in the horizontal direction.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, air supply hoods 111 are fixedly connected to the tops of both installation boxes 11. A plurality of fan blades 611 are provided on the part of the bidirectional lead screw 61 located inside the air supply hood 111. A corrugated pipe 1111 is connected to the side wall of the air supply hood 111; two air supply pipes 94 are fixedly connected to the inspection cylinder 9. One end of the air supply pipe 94 is connected to the corrugated pipe 1111. An annular air supply cavity 93 extending in a ring shape is provided inside the inspection cylinder 9. The air supply cavity 93 is communicated with the air supply pipe 94. An annular sealing plug 91 is movably provided inside the air supply cavity 93. A plurality of first air spray holes 92 and a plurality of second air spray holes 96 are respectively provided on the inner walls at both ends of the inspection cylinder 9; the support part 12 further includes a support frame 123 fixedly connected to the placement plate 121. The support frame 123 is provided with a second through hole 1231 for the crankshaft to pass through. The support frame 123 is provided with a fixing rod 1232. A part of the fixing rod 1232 extends into the air supply cavity 93 and is fixedly connected to the sealing plug.

[0039] When the bidirectional lead screw 61 rotates, the plurality of fan blades 611 rotate to send gas into the air supply cavity 93 of the inspection cylinder 9 through the corrugated pipe 1111 and the air supply pipe 94. When the inspection cylinder 9 moves horizontally, the space of the gas in the air supply cavity 93 will be reduced, and then the gas will be sprayed onto the crankshaft through the plurality of first air spray holes 92. When the inspection cylinder 9 moves in the reverse direction, the gas will be sprayed onto the crankshaft through the plurality of second air spray holes 96. In this way, when the inspection cylinder 9 reciprocates horizontally, the gas will pass back and forth through the first air spray holes 92 and the second air spray holes 96 and be sprayed onto the crankshaft, effectively cleaning the dust and impurities attached to the surface of the crankshaft, so that the crankshaft is convenient to be inspected.

[0040] Among them, the plurality of first air spray holes 92 and the plurality of second air spray holes 96 are both communicated with the air supply cavity 93. The drive shaft 22 and the first bevel gear 23 can be located inside the air supply hood 111. The air supply pipe 94 can be a rigid pipe arranged in an L shape. The top of the air supply hood 111 can be fixedly connected to the installation body 74. The support frame 123 can be arranged in a U shape. The support frame 123 is provided with two second through holes 1231. The top of the support frame 123 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 71.

[0041] Working principle: When in use, the crankshaft is passed through the second through hole 1231 on the support frame 123 and the inspection tube 9 to support the crankshaft first, and then the hydraulic cylinder 8 is started. During the extension and retraction process, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 will move the moving plate 381 and the mounting box in the horizontal direction through the connecting rod 82, thereby adjusting the distance between the two mounting boxes 11 to adapt to the length of the crankshaft on the support frame 123, so that the end of the crankshaft extends into the mounting box 11 and is located between the two clamping plates. The drive motor 21 is started, and the second bevel gear 24 and one of the two bidirectional screws 61 are rotated through the drive shaft 22 and the first bevel gear 23. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 61 causes the movable block 41 and the sliding block to move toward the clamping plate, and the multiple balls 4321 on the push body 432 will contact the clamping plate and cause the two clamping plates to clamp the ends of the crankshaft when the push body 432 continues to move. The connecting piece 38 will move toward the rotating column 33 along with the clamping plate, and the insert rod 3811 will be inserted into the inclined groove 331 on the rotating column 33 and make the rotating column 33 move toward the bidirectional screw rod 61, so that the fourth bevel gear 333 and the third bevel gear 62 can be engaged, and then the rotating cylinder 34 and the movable box 31 can be rotated, so that the two clamping plates can rotate and realize the rotation of the crankshaft.

[0042] After contacting the second abutment 442, the first abutment 423 will move in the horizontal direction and disengage the limiting rod 4221 from the limiting hole 411, the electromagnet 424 will attract the iron block 4231, the movable block 41 can rotate with the bidirectional screw 61, and the slider 42 will remain in the position where the clamping plate clamps the end of the crankshaft.

[0043] When the bidirectional screw 61 rotates, the multiple blades 611 rotate and can blow air into the bellows 1111. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 61 will also cause the cam 612 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the slide bar 12132 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, and the inspection tube 9 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. During the movement of the inspection tube 9, the annular sealing plug 91 will cooperate with the annular sealing plug 91 to spray gas to the crankshaft through the first jet hole 92 and the second jet hole 96. The probe 95 on the inner wall of the inspection tube 9 will inspect the crankshaft as the inspection tube 9 moves. When the crankshaft inspection is completed, the electromagnet 424 is de-energized, and the limit rod 4221 will be inserted into the limit hole 411 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 4211. Then, as the screw continues to rotate, the slider 42 and the movable block 41 can gradually move away from the clamping plate, so that the clamping plate is away from the crankshaft under the elastic force of the third elastic member 39, so as to facilitate the removal of the crankshaft.
