Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of casting processing, and specifically relates to an adjustable sealing device and method for water testing of the sand cleaning holes of the engine block. Background Art

[0002] Through a hydrostatic test, it can be detected whether there is a leakage phenomenon in the inner cavity of the casting under a specified pressure. The sand cleaning hole is a hole deliberately set during the casting process to facilitate the removal of the molding sand in the inner cavity or internal structure of the casting. However, when conducting a hydrostatic test on the water cavity of the engine block, it is difficult to effectively seal the sand cleaning hole. The main reason is that generally, the wall thickness of the blank where the sand cleaning hole is located is relatively thin and the tolerance is large. The end face of the sand cleaning hole is generally a blank surface, and the precision error of the hole wall is relatively large.

[0003] Common plugging methods for sand cleaning holes include: the first one is to use a welded plug plate and then cut off the plug plate after the hydrostatic test. This method causes relatively large damage to the engine block and reduces the service life of the engine block, and is not suitable for castings with relatively thin wall thicknesses; the second one is to perform finish machining on the sand cleaning hole, correct the end face and inner dimensions of the hole, and then install a plug. This method increases the processing cost and reduces the processing efficiency. Similar plugging methods in the prior art, as shown in the patent "A Hydrostatic Test Plugging Device for a Valve Housing Casting" with the publication number CN109186892A, its sealing object is the valve interface. The end face and inner wall dimensions of the valve interface have relatively high precision, and a sealing ring can be sleeved on the plug plate to achieve a sealing effect, but it is not suitable for sealing holes with relatively large tolerances such as sand cleaning holes.

[0004] There are many water cavities distributed on a certain type of water-cooled diesel engine block. The water cavities are located inside the engine block, and there are a large number of sand cleaning holes on the surface of the engine block to facilitate the cleaning of the molding sand. These sand cleaning holes are sealed during the assembly of the diesel engine. The end face of the hole is a blank surface, and an O-ring cannot be used for axial sealing. There is no chamfer at the orifice of the sand cleaning hole. If an O-ring is used for radial sealing of the water hole, the orifice is likely to cut the O-ring when the O-ring enters the hole, resulting in the failure of the O-ring. Therefore, a static O-ring cannot be used for radial sealing of the water hole. As Figure 1 、 2 shown, the theoretical wall thickness of the blank where the sand cleaning hole is located is only 6 mm, and the upper deviation of the size is +3 mm, and the lower deviation is 0. The tolerance zone of the dimension D from the end face of the sand cleaning hole to the engine block lug surface is ±2 mm. To reduce costs, the cylindricity and positional tolerance of the blank hole before machining of the sand cleaning hole are relatively poor. Therefore, during machining, it is often necessary to align and machine according to the center of the blank hole, resulting in a tolerance of ±2 mm for the coordinate dimensions A, B, and C of the sand cleaning hole relative to the side lug screw hole M10 of the engine block. It can be seen that under the premise of controlling the processing cost, without performing finish machining on the sand cleaning hole, a fixed sealing device cannot stably and reliably seal the sand cleaning hole. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the background art, the present invention provides an adjustable sealing device and method for water testing of the sand cleaning hole of the machine body. The purpose is to adopt an installation base with an adjustable position to adapt to the position error between the sand cleaning hole and the machine body boss, control the plugging component to align with the sand cleaning hole, and then actively extrude the sealing ring through the plugging component to seal the sand cleaning hole, so that it is not necessary to perform precision machining on the sand cleaning hole, reducing the processing cost; after the hydrostatic test, the plugging device can be removed without damaging the machine body, ensuring the service life of the machine body.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An adjustable sealing device for water testing of the sand cleaning hole of the machine body, including a mounting plate; a group of second through holes are provided on the mounting plate for detachably mounting the mounting plate on the machine body through second screws and covering the upper part of the sand cleaning hole; the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a positioning sleeve through a bolt assembly; one end of the positioning sleeve is provided as a cylindrical part, and the end of the cylindrical part can be inserted into the sand cleaning hole, and its outer wall is in clearance fit with the inner wall of the sand cleaning hole; the middle part of the adjusting shaft is threadedly connected to the positioning sleeve, and one end of it is provided as a cylinder that can be inserted into the cylindrical part, and the outer wall of the cylinder is in clearance fit with the inner wall of the cylindrical part; a circular shoulder is provided at the end of the cylinder; the circular shoulder can be inserted into the sand cleaning hole and is in clearance fit with the inner wall of the sand cleaning hole; an O-ring rubber seal is sleeved on the cylinder, and the O-ring rubber seal is located in the groove formed between the circular shoulder and the end of the cylindrical part; the bolt assembly includes several adjusting gaskets located between the mounting plate and the positioning sleeve for adjusting the axial position of the positioning sleeve; the diameter of the second through hole is 4 to 6 mm larger than the diameter of the second screw.

[0007] As a further optimization, in order to facilitate insertion into the sand cleaning hole, chamfers are provided on the outer edges of the circular shoulder and the end of the cylindrical part.

[0008] As a further optimization, for an exemplary installation structure, a first through hole is provided in the middle of the mounting plate; there are two second through holes, respectively located on the left and right sides of the first through hole; the positioning sleeve includes a flange fixedly connected to one side of the sleeve part, and a plurality of third through holes are provided on the flange; the sleeve part is inserted into the first through hole, and the first screw in the bolt assembly passes through the third through hole and is screwed into the first threaded hole preset on the mounting plate to fixedly connect the positioning sleeve and the mounting plate together; a fourth through hole is provided in the middle of the flange; the middle part of the adjusting shaft passes through the fourth through hole, and an external thread is provided on its outer side; a shoulder nut abutted against the outside of the flange is screwed onto the external thread for threaded connection between the middle part of the adjusting shaft and the positioning sleeve.

[0009] As a further optimization, another implementation of the threaded connection also has the same function; a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the positioning sleeve, and an external thread is provided in the middle of the adjusting shaft for the middle of the adjusting shaft to be threadedly connected to the positioning sleeve.

[0010] As a further optimization, preferably, the diameter of the second through hole is 5 mm larger than the diameter of the second screw.

[0011] As a further optimization, in order to facilitate the screwing of the adjusting shaft, a handle is connected to the end of the adjusting shaft.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for using an adjustable sealing device for water testing of the sand cleaning hole of the machine body. Using an adjustable sealing device for water testing of the sand cleaning hole of the machine body as described above, it includes the following steps:

[0013] S1: Pre-assembly; Assemble the positioning sleeve, the adjusting shaft, and the O-ring rubber seal together to form a plugging assembly, so that the O-ring rubber seal is clamped in the groove; then assemble the plugging assembly with the mounting plate through the bolt assembly, so that several adjusting gaskets are provided between the mounting plate and the positioning sleeve;

[0014] S2: Pre-installation; Install the mounting plate on the machine body through the second screw passing through the second through hole, but do not tighten the second screw;

[0015] S3: Axial adjustment; After inserting one end of the plugging assembly with the O-ring rubber seal into the sand cleaning hole, according to the position of the O-ring rubber seal, increase or decrease the number of the adjusting gaskets until the O-ring rubber seal is located in the middle position of the hole wall of the sand cleaning hole, and then tighten the bolt assembly to fix the mounting plate and the plugging assembly;

[0016] S4: Radial adjustment; Utilize the gap between the second through hole and the second screw to move the mounting plate. The mounting plate drives the position adjustment of the O-ring rubber seal until the O-ring rubber seal is concentric with the sand cleaning hole, and then tighten the second screw to fix the mounting plate on the machine body;

[0017] S5: Extrude the O-ring rubber seal; Rotate the adjusting shaft. Through the threaded connection between the middle of the adjusting shaft and the positioning sleeve, drive the adjusting shaft to retreat, forcing the groove to narrow and squeeze the O-ring rubber seal. The O-ring rubber seal is radially expanded by the extrusion to seal the sand cleaning hole. Thus, the sand cleaning hole in the rough state with a large tolerance can be sealed.

[0018] As a further optimization, the middle part of the adjusting shaft is threadedly connected to the positioning sleeve through a shoulder nut that abuts against the outside of the flange; the middle part of the adjusting shaft is provided with an external thread and passes through a fourth through hole preset in the middle of the positioning sleeve, and the shoulder nut is screwed onto the external thread in the middle of the adjusting shaft; when adding or reducing the adjusting gasket in step S3, first loosen the shoulder nut and do not install the bolt assembly; there is no axial constraint between the adjusting shaft and the positioning sleeve; the operator first roughly positions the adjusting shaft so that the O-ring is located in the middle position of the wall of the sand cleaning hole, and then pushes the positioning sleeve forward until the end of the cylindrical part abuts against the O-ring. At this time, according to the gap between the positioning sleeve and the mounting plate, select the number of adjusting gaskets, then install the positioning sleeve and the mounting plate together through the bolt assembly, and finally tighten the shoulder nut to preliminarily fix the adjusting shaft; in step S5, the operator controls the adjusting shaft with one hand and controls the shoulder nut with a wrench with the other hand, and rotates one of the adjusting shaft and the shoulder nut to drive the adjusting shaft to retract. This method can set the number of adjusting gaskets more conveniently and quickly.

[0019] The advantages of the present invention are as follows. First, the groove where the O-ring is located is dynamic rather than static, which can drive the O-ring to expand radially to play a sealing role. One O-ring can be accommodated in the groove, so as to adapt to the sealing of the sand cleaning hole in a rough blank state with a large tolerance. Second, after the O-ring expands radially, the pressure exerted on the wall of the sand cleaning hole is large, which can adapt to the higher water pressure required for the hydrostatic test, and the sealing pressure is high. Third, there is no need to perform finish machining on the sand cleaning hole, which reduces costs and improves efficiency; it is not necessary to damage the body due to welding, ensuring the service life of the body. Fourth, when the O-ring seals the sand cleaning hole, the adjusting shaft remains stationary through thread self-locking, with a large self-locking force and high reliability. Fifth, the installation base position of the sealing device is adjustable, and can be adjusted axially and radially, suitable for the situation where the hole position tolerance is large in the casting rough blank state. Sixth, the structure of this device is simple, easy to manufacture, highly reliable, and low in cost.

[0020] In summary, the installation position of the sealing device of the present invention is adjustable, suitable for plugging the sand cleaning hole in the casting rough blank state; the groove where the sealing ring is located is dynamic, and the sealing effect is improved by squeezing the sealing ring, with high sealing reliability, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.

The inner cylindrical surface 704 extends to the right to form a blind hole, and a fourth through hole 702 coaxial with the center of the positioning sleeve 7 is distributed at the center of the bottom of the blind hole.

[0036] The right end of the adjusting shaft 5 is a screw rod 505. A light hole 506 is vertically distributed near the end of the screw rod 505. The light hole 506 is used to mount the handle 6. The left end of the adjusting shaft 5 is a cylinder 501. The cylindrical surface of the cylinder 501 has a clearance fit with the inner cylindrical surface 704 of the positioning sleeve 7, and the fit dimension is preferably φ30.7H7 / f6mm. A first chamfer 504 is arranged at the right end of the cylinder 501, and the size of the first chamfer 504 is preferably 2mm×15°. The left end of the cylinder 501 is a circular shoulder 502 integrated with and coaxial with the cylinder 501. The outer cylindrical surface of the circular shoulder 502 has a clearance fit with the riser hole of the machine body, and the outer diameter of the circular shoulder 502 is preferably φ36e7mm; the transition between the right end annular surface 503 of the circular shoulder 502 and the cylindrical surface of the cylinder 501 is a second fillet, and the radius of the second fillet is preferably R0.5mm.

[0037] The O-ring rubber seal 8 is installed in the annular groove formed by the circular ring surface 503 of the adjusting shaft 5 and the left end face of the positioning sleeve 7. The inner diameter of the O-ring rubber seal 8 is φ30 mm, and the cross-sectional diameter of the O-ring rubber seal 8 is φ2.65 mm.

[0038] The adjusting shim 2 has a thickness of 1 mm and a quantity of 6 pieces.

[0039] An adjustment method for an adjustable sealing device for water testing of the sand cleaning hole of the machine body proposed by the present invention:

[0040] Axial position adjustment: To ensure reliable sealing of the sand cleaning hole, it is necessary to ensure that the O-ring rubber seal 8 is located near the middle position in the depth direction of the sand cleaning hole. To achieve the above purpose, it can be realized by adjusting the installation quantity of the adjusting shim 2. Increase or decrease the quantity of the adjusting shim 2 according to the actual position of the sand cleaning hole of the machine body, so as to ensure that the mating length of the outer cylindrical surface 703 of the left section of the positioning sleeve 7 and the sand cleaning hole is more than 2 mm.

[0041] Radial position adjustment: First, position and align the outer cylindrical surface 703 of the left section of the positioning sleeve 7 with the sand cleaning hole, and then install the washer 9 and the second screw 10 to achieve radial position adjustment.

[0042] A usage method for an adjustable sealing device for water testing of the sand cleaning hole of the machine body proposed by the present invention: After the sealing device is installed on the machine body, hold the handle 6 tightly with one hand, and use a wrench to rotate the shoulder nut 4 clockwise with the other hand. The circular ring surface 503 at the left end of the adjusting shaft 5 squeezes the O-ring rubber seal 8 to achieve sealing of the sand cleaning hole of the machine body.

[0043] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows. First, the groove where the O-ring rubber seal 8 is located is dynamic rather than static, which can drive the O-ring rubber seal 8 to expand radially to play a sealing role. One O-ring rubber seal 8 can be accommodated in the groove, so as to adapt to the sealing of the rough state with a large tolerance such as the sand cleaning hole. Second, after the O-ring rubber seal 8 expands radially, the pressure applied to the wall of the sand cleaning hole is large, which can adapt to the higher water pressure required for the hydrostatic test, and the sealing pressure is high. Third, it is not necessary to perform finish machining on the sand cleaning hole, which reduces costs and improves efficiency; it is also not necessary to damage the machine body due to welding, ensuring the service life of the machine body. Fourth, when the O-ring rubber seal 8 seals the sand cleaning hole, the adjusting shaft 5 remains stationary through thread self-locking, with a large self-locking force and high reliability. Fifth, the installation base position of the sealing device is adjustable, and the position can be adjusted axially and radially, which is suitable for the situation where the hole position tolerance is large in the casting rough state. Sixth, the structure of this device is simple, easy to manufacture, highly reliable, and low in cost.
