Description

Technical Field

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

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

[0003] However, the gas valve hole of the cylinder head of the large dual-fuel marine low-speed engine described in the present invention is changed to a methanol valve hole, which adopts a relatively special structure. Taking the 10X92DF-M type main engine as an example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 . The methanol valve hole of the cylinder head is composed of a main valve hole D1, a triple intake hole and an outer intake hole. The main valve hole D1 leads downward from the top surface of the cylinder head to the cylinder inner cavity, and the axis of the triple intake hole is horizontally communicated with the main valve hole D1, see Figure 3 , forming a 75° angle with the main valve hole D1; the triple intake hole is composed of a left intake hole D2, a middle intake hole D3 and a right intake hole D4, and the three holes are distributed in a three-axis cross pattern, and the hole walls intersect to form a break shape, see Figure 5 , wherein the left intake hole D2 and the right intake hole D4 respectively form an angle C1 of 7° with the middle intake hole D3 on both sides, see Figure 2 . The left intake hole D2, the middle intake hole D3 and the right intake hole D4 have the same diameter of 20 mm, a depth > 320 mm, and a surface roughness requirement of Ra6.3. The outer intake hole is communicated with the triple intake hole, and the outer end opens on the side surface of the cylinder head. The outer intake hole is on the same level as the triple intake hole and forms a 75° angle with the main valve hole D1; the outer intake hole is a stepped hole, which is composed of an inner intake hole D5, a middle intake hole D6 and an outer intake hole D7 connected in sequence from the inside to the outside, see Figure 3 , and the hole diameters increase in sequence.

[0004] Since the angles between the left intake hole D2, the middle intake hole D3 and the right intake hole D4 are small, the cross section thereof becomes an incomplete circle with three adjacent breaks. Please refer to Figure 5During direct machining, serious tool deflection and chattering occur; moreover, since the diameters of the inner air inlet hole D5, middle air inlet hole D6, and outer air inlet hole D7 on its outer side are not large, and the overall depth is greater than 320 mm, it causes interference with the machine tool spindle. Therefore, the tool needs to be lengthened, resulting in the tool length-diameter ratio of the machining tool exceeding 10 times the diameter. As a result, its machining is much more difficult compared to the gas valve hole of the traditional structure, and it is difficult to complete the machining using conventional drilling, boring, and milling methods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a machining method for the three-way holes of the cylinder head of a dual-fuel marine low-speed engine to solve the problem of difficult machining of the air inlet holes of the methanol valve hole of the cylinder head of a large dual-fuel marine diesel engine. By scientifically arranging the cutting sequence, designing the tooling, and reasonably using the tools, the technical problem that the conventional machining method cannot machine the deep holes in the form of three-way holes is solved, and the machining of the air inlet holes of the methanol valve hole meets the requirements.

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

[0007] A machining method for the three-way holes of the cylinder head of a dual-fuel marine low-speed engine, wherein the methanol valve hole of the cylinder head is composed of a main valve hole with a vertical axis, a three-way air inlet hole with a horizontal axis, and an outer air inlet hole. The three-way air inlet hole and the outer air inlet hole communicate with the main valve hole and form a 75° angle. The three-way air inlet hole is composed of a left air inlet hole, a middle air inlet hole, and a right air inlet hole with the same diameter of 20 mm, and the depth > 320 mm. The left air inlet hole, the middle air inlet hole, and the right air inlet hole are distributed in a three-axis cross pattern, and the cross-sections of the hole walls are connected to form an incomplete circle with three breaks. Among them, the left air inlet hole and the right air inlet hole form a 7° angle with the middle air inlet hole on both sides respectively. The outer air inlet hole is a stepped hole, which is composed of an inner air inlet hole, a middle air inlet hole, and an outer air inlet hole connected in sequence from the inside to the outside, and the hole diameters increase in sequence. The characteristics of the machining method are as follows:

[0008] Step 1, machine the middle air inlet hole of the three-way air inlet hole, the inner air inlet hole, the middle air inlet hole, and the outer air inlet hole of the outer air inlet hole;

[0009] Step 2, machine fixing screw holes on the bottom surface of the outer air inlet hole;

[0010] Step 3, machine a packing rod from a material similar to the cylinder head. The packing rod includes a small shaft, a middle shaft, a large shaft, and a flange surface connected coaxially. The diameters of the small shaft, the middle shaft, and the large shaft increase in sequence and are in clearance fit with the machined middle air inlet hole, inner air inlet hole, and middle air inlet hole respectively. Fixing through holes matching the fixing screw holes are machined on the flange surface;

[0011] Step 4, fix the packing rod in the middle air inlet hole, inner air inlet hole, and middle air inlet hole through screws;

[0012] Step 5: With the middle air inlet hole as the reference, turn the workpiece by an angle of 7°. First, mill a counterbore on the end face of the packing rod, then pre-drill a shallow hole with a diameter of 20 mm, and then use a Φ20 gun drill to drill through inward to the main valve hole to complete the machining of the left air inlet hole;

[0013] Step 6: Remove the processed incomplete packing rod;

[0014] Step 7: Replace with another identical packing rod, repeat Step 4, Step 5 and Step 6 to complete the machining of the right air inlet hole, thereby completing the machining of the three-way hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the surface roughness requirements for the left air inlet hole, the middle air inlet hole and the right air inlet hole are Ra6.3.

[0016] Furthermore, in Step 5, the diameter of the counterbore is slightly larger than the diameter of the left air inlet hole.

[0017] Furthermore, in Step 5, the machining of the left air inlet hole is carried out by straddle machining on the entity formed by the packing rod and the cylinder head.

[0018] The present invention solves the difficulty of machining deep holes with three-way intersections and large cross-section breaks by conventional machining methods, avoids the occurrence of tool knocking and tool deflection, and enables the machining of the three-way air inlet holes with a 7° angle in the methanol valve hole of the cylinder head of a dual-fuel marine low-speed engine to meet the technical requirements.
