Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ships and relates to a cylinder sleeve sealing detection method of a RAT type cylinder head for ships. Background Art
[0002] The core position of the ship's main engine is reflected in its power output, which is directly related to navigation safety. Among them, the cylinder head is the core component of the main engine. Under the high-temperature working conditions of the cylinder head fuel injection and combustion, the cylinder head and the cylinder liner together build a precise cooling system. The two work together to ensure the continuous flow of cooling water and achieve effective control of the cylinder head working temperature. Since the cylinder head needs to push the piston to work through internal explosion in a high-temperature combustion environment, its inner cavity is subjected to severe thermal stress shock for a long time. Cylinder head disassembly and inspection is an indispensable maintenance item in ship maintenance.
[0003] At present, some ships use the RAT Sulzer model for cylinder heads. The cylinder liner of this model adopts an inner cavity water outlet structure, and the cooling system presents a special distribution method of water flow of half cylinder head and half cylinder liner. Due to this structure, it is impossible to enter the cylinder liner for pressure testing after the cylinder head is disassembled, forcing technicians to face a dilemma: if the pressure test link is skipped and reinstalled directly, the cylinder head or cylinder liner is prone to cracks and leakage after the main engine is ignited, resulting in secondary disassembly and repair. This unplanned rework not only disrupts the debugging process of the entire ship system, but also causes serious delays in the repair cycle. Therefore, solving the problem of pressure testing and inspection of the cylinder liner of the RAT Sulzer type cylinder head has become a technical difficulty that needs to be overcome in the field of ship maintenance.

[0047] The cooling system of the RAT - type cylinder head of Sulzer. Half of the water in the cooling system is in the cylinder head and half is in the cylinder liner 4. Therefore, when the cylinder head is disassembled for inspection and repair, the cylinder liner 4 needs to be separately sealed and inspected.
[0048] As Figure 1-8 shown, a method for detecting the seal of the cylinder liner of a RAT - type cylinder head for ships uses a test fixture to detect the cylinder liner 4 of the RAT - type cylinder head to be detected.
[0049] Specifically, as Figure 2-4 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 - 8, the test fixture includes a seal 1, a sealing ring 2, and a fixing member 3; the seal 1 is a stepped ring structure, and the stepped ring structure includes a head 110 and a body 120. The outer diameter of the head 110 is larger than the outer diameter of the body 120. The outer diameter of the body 120 matches the inner diameter of the cylinder liner 4, and the inner diameter of the head 110 is equal to the inner diameter of the body 120; two circular grooves 121 are provided on the outer periphery of the body 120, and the positions of the circular grooves 121 correspond to the positions of the water inlet holes 420 in the cylinder liner 4; the sealing ring 2 is placed in the circular grooves 121, and the fixing member 3 fixes the seal 1 on the cylinder liner 4.
[0050] The transition surface where the head 110 is connected to the body 120 is the first end face A, the end face on the side of the head 110 is the second end face B, and the end face on the side of the body 120 is the third end face C.
[0051] As Figure 1 shown, the detection method includes the following steps:
[0052] Manufacture the seal 1 according to the inner diameter size of the cylinder liner 4;
[0053] Place the sealing rings 2 in the two circular grooves 121 respectively;
[0054] Insert the body 120 of the seal 1 into the cylinder liner 4, and the first end face A is closely attached to the end face of the cylinder liner 4;
[0055] Use the fixing member 3 to fix the seal 1 on the cylinder liner 4.
[0056] A method for detecting the seal of the cylinder liner of a RAT - type cylinder head for ships performs a sealing treatment on the water inlet holes 420 of the cylinder liner 4 through a test fixture: the seal 1 is pressed and shaped, the sealing ring 2 plugs and reinforces leaks, and the fixing member 3 locks and reinforces, realizing an independent pressure test on the cylinder liner 4. This method breaks through the limitations of the traditional detection process, moves the quality inspection node forward to the maintenance workshop link, supports the verification of the sealing performance of the cylinder liner 4 during the cylinder head disassembly stage, and completely avoids the ineffective cycle of "unable to detect after disassembly - can only be tested after reassembly". This method can detect potential leakage hazards in advance, achieve early detection and early repair, simultaneously reduce the labor cost and component loss caused by secondary disassembly and assembly, and shorten a large amount of repair time and human resources.
[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 6-8 shown, the annular groove 121 is provided with the sealing ring 2, and the sealing ring 2 blocks the water inlet hole 420 of the cylinder liner 4. Since the water inlet holes 420 are not in the same plane, but the sealing ring 2 adopts the same specification, the position of the annular groove 121 is correspondingly adjusted. Specifically, two-stage stepped structures 122 with different diameters are axially arranged on the outer circumference of the body 120 of the seal 1 in sequence, and the annular groove 121 is provided on each step to ensure the sealing effect.
[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 6-8 shown, the sealing ring 2 is used to block the water inlet hole 420 of the cylinder liner 4, and the cross-sectional dimension of the sealing ring 2 matches the width of the annular groove 121. Specifically, the sealing ring 2 is an O-ring, and the elastic O-ring is installed in the annular groove 121 to achieve sealing. The sealing effect depends on the pressure to be sealed, and the sealing effect is efficient and economical.
[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 6-8 shown, the length of the body 120 of the seal 1 is the same as the length of the inner hole 410 of the cylinder liner 4. The seal 1 is inserted into the inner hole 410 of the cylinder liner 4, the first end face A is closely attached to the end face of the cylinder liner 4, and at the same time, the third end face C is closely attached to the inner surface of the cylinder liner 4. In this way, rapid positioning can be achieved during detection, ensuring the coaxiality of the seal 1 and the inner hole 410 of the cylinder liner 4 during insertion and realizing radial sealing.
[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 、 4 and 6 shown, there are four bolt holes 430 equidistantly arranged on the circumference of the cylinder liner 4 to fix the seal 1 and the cylinder liner 4. As the water pressure inside the cylinder liner 4 increases, the fixing member 3 can prevent the seal 1 from being pushed out of the cylinder liner 4. Specifically, the fixing member 3 is a long rod structure, and two long rod structures are located on the second end face B and are respectively fixed to the bolt holes 430 at the diagonal positions through fasteners to make the seal 1 fit with the cylinder liner 4.
[0061] Specifically, the fixing member 3 can adopt an angle steel. The tie rod is used to pass through the hole positions of the angle steel and the stud holes on both sides of the cylinder liner 4 to achieve fastening. The two fixing members 3 are cross-mounted, and the pre-tightening force of the tie rod is adjusted to make the contact pressure on the surface of the seal 1 uniform.
[0062] In other embodiments, the fixing member is a steel plate, and the directly used steel plate presses the second end face B of the seal 1. Holes are drilled at the edge of the steel plate, and fasteners are used to pass through the holes of the steel plate and the hole positions of the cylinder liner 4 for fastening.
[0063] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the steps of manufacturing the seal 1 according to the inner diameter size of the cylinder liner 4 include:
[0064] S1: According to the size of the inner hole 410 of the cylinder liner 4, roll the steel plate into a circle and then perform roundness correction;
[0065] S2: Close-weld the cylinder, and perform penetrant testing on the weld;
[0066] S3: Perform surface grinding on the end face of the seal 1;
[0067] S4: According to the position of the water inlet hole 420 of the cylinder head, machine the head 110 and the body 120 of the seal 1;
[0068] S5: Machine the stepped structure 122 according to the position of the water inlet hole 420, and machine the circular groove 121 according to the width of the water inlet hole 420.
[0069] Among them, step S1 includes: According to the size of the inner hole 410 of the cylinder liner 4, roll the steel plate into a cylinder. First, turn up the edge of the steel plate and initially roll it into a circle to avoid local non-roundness. Draw a standard circle on the ground, compare the rolled cylinder with the standard circle, and correct the non-round part by using a jack and / or heating method, with a tolerance of ±0.2 mm.
[0070] Among them, step S2 includes: Fix the cylinder with a steel pipe or angle steel to prevent deformation in the next process and affect the occurrence of non-roundness during machining. After strengthening the cylinder, use the groove welding process for the connection of the cylinder, with multi-layer and multi-pass welding. Open a V-shaped groove from the outer circle, and pay attention to the welding quality during the process to avoid the occurrence of pores or slag in the subsequent machining, which will affect the detection work of the subsequent cylinder head water jacket.
[0071] Among them, step S3 includes: The flatness of the end face of the seal 1 ≤ 0.05 mm. The two end faces are smooth and flat, so as to ensure the tightness with the inner surface of the cylinder liner 4 after being inserted into the cylinder liner 4.
[0072] Among them, step S5 includes: The tolerance of the step height is ±0.1 mm, and the position tolerance of the circular groove 121 ≤ 0.3 mm. Ensure that the machined seal 1 can be inserted into the inner hole 410 of the cylinder liner 4 to press-seal the water inlet hole 420 of the cylinder liner 4.
[0073] It should also be noted that, in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.
[0074] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
