DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some preferred embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] Embodiment 1; Please refer to Figure 1-4 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the camshaft hole 13 of a certain type of high-power diesel engine installed on the hull is taken as the repair object. Without removing the diesel engine from the hull, only the cylinder head and the accessories at both ends, as well as components such as the camshaft, need to be removed, so that the camshaft hole 13 of the diesel engine block 12 is exposed. The following technical solution is provided in this embodiment: A repair device for the camshaft hole of a high-power diesel engine, including a tool shank 1; a tool bit 14 is connected to the side wall of the tool shank 1. A second bushing 3 is sleeved at one end of it, and a screwing head assembly is fixedly connected to the other end for connecting a screwing tool; the second bushing 3 can be inserted into the camshaft hole 13 of the diesel engine; a sleeve 4 is sleeved on the tool shank 1 near the position of the screwing head assembly; a flange is provided at one end of the sleeve 4, and connection holes are provided on the flange for detachably installing the sleeve 4 to one end of the diesel engine block through a second screw 9; the tool shank 1 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 4; the cutting edge length 15 of the tool bit is greater than the pitch of the threaded connection.

[0029] During use, the following steps S1 - S5 are included.

[0030] S1: First, according to the aperture size of the camshaft hole 13 to be repaired, calculate and obtain the cutting amount, and adjust the size of the tool bit 14 on the tool shank 1 according to the cutting amount.

[0031] S2: Install the sleeve 4 at one end of the diesel engine so that the axis of the sleeve 4 coincides with the axis of the camshaft hole 13 to be repaired.

[0032] S3: After inserting the second bushing 3 into the next gear camshaft hole 13 adjacent to the camshaft hole 13 to be repaired, then insert the tool shank 1 into the sleeve 4 so that the tool bit 14 is close to the camshaft hole 13 to be repaired, and the end of the tool shank 1 is inserted into the second bushing 3.

[0033] S4: The screwing head assembly is connected to a screwing tool to drive the tool shank 1 to rotate; through the threaded connection between the tool shank 1 and the sleeve 4, the tool bit 14 is advanced in a spiral manner to cut the camshaft hole 13 to be repaired. Continuously rotate the tool shank 1 until the machining of the camshaft hole  13 is completed.

[0034] S5: Rotate the tool shank 1 in the reverse direction so that both the tool bit 14 and the end of the tool shank 1 are disengaged from the camshaft hole 13 to be repaired, and then insert a sleeve into the camshaft hole 13 to complete the repair of the camshaft hole 13.

[0035] Among them, the screwing tool is any one of an electric wrench, a handwheel, and a manual wrench.

[0036] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows. First, the cutting motion of the tool is realized through screw drive in this device, which can ensure the machining accuracy of the camshaft hole 13. Moreover, large-scale machining equipment is not required, which is flexible and convenient. Second, the diesel engine does not need to be completely disassembled as a whole, nor does it need to be returned to the factory. With this device, the machining of the camshaft hole 13 can be completed on-site, saving maintenance costs and improving maintenance efficiency. Third, the repair device for the camshaft hole 13 has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has a low cost.

[0037] In one of the implementation manners, an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 4; an external thread is provided on the tool shank 1 to achieve the threaded connection described above. A hexagonal head is machined at the end of the tool shank 1 to connect a screwing tool. However, in this manner, the external thread and the hexagonal head are integrally formed with the tool shank 1. After the external thread and the hexagonal head are damaged, the entire tool shank 1 needs to be repaired or scrapped, which is not cost-effective.

[0038] This embodiment adopts a more optimal implementation manner. Specifically, an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 4; a transmission sleeve 5 is sleeved on the tool shank 1 between the screwing head assembly and the sleeve 4. One end of the transmission sleeve 5 is provided with an extension part, and an external thread corresponding to the internal thread is provided on the outer side of the extension part for the threaded connection between the transmission sleeve 5 and the sleeve 4; the transmission sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to the tool shank 1 by a first screw 8. The screwing head assembly includes a connecting shaft 6 sleeved on one end of the tool shank 1; the connecting shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the tool shank 1 by a connecting pin 7, and a hexagonal head is fixedly provided at its end for connecting a screwing tool.

[0039] It can be seen that the external thread and the hexagonal head in this embodiment are both detachable and can be replaced after being damaged, without the need to repair the tool shank 1, which is more convenient to use and has a lower cost.

[0040] Although the parts of the tool shank 1 on both sides of the tool head 14 are supported by the sleeve 4 and the bushing, avoiding the cantilever structure and improving the cutting accuracy, in order to further improve the machining accuracy and the supporting ability of the tool shank 1 to make the tool shank 1 more stable when rotating, this embodiment further includes a first bushing 2 sleeved on the tool shank 1; the first bushing 2 can be inserted into the camshaft hole 13; the tool head 14 is located between the first bushing 2 and the second bushing 3. Among them, the first bushing 2 is inserted into the adjacent upper gear camshaft hole 13 to be repaired, making the stiffness of the tool shank 1 better and the machining accuracy higher.

[0041] In order to facilitate the adjustment or replacement of the tool head 14, the tool head 14 is detachably connected to the tool shank 1 by screws. Although the tool head 14 makes a spiral motion, in order to avoid the cutting trajectory of the tool tip being a thread line, the cutting line length 15 of the tool tip is greater than the pitch of the threaded connection, so that all parts of the camshaft hole 13 can be cut.

[0042] Preferably, there are a plurality of screw holes corresponding to the first screw 8 on the tool shank 1, and they are evenly distributed at axial intervals for adjusting the initial position of the transmission sleeve 5 on the tool shank 1 to adapt to different machining positions and facilitate the adjustment of the initial position of the cutting head 14.

[0043] Example 2, please refer to Figure 1 、 2 、5, 6.

[0044] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the camshaft hole 13 repaired in Embodiment 1 is close to the shock-absorbing end, and the tool shank 1 needs to feed from the shock-absorbing end. Since there are differences in the machining of screw holes on the outer surface of the camshaft holes 13 in the first and last gears. The camshaft hole 13 repaired in this embodiment is close to the other end of the diesel engine, that is, the flywheel end. At this time, the positioning sleeve 11 is installed on the flywheel end of the engine block by the third screw 10, and then the bushing 4 is installed on the positioning sleeve 11.

[0045] Therefore, on the basis of having the same advantages as Embodiment 1, this embodiment can insert the same tool shank 1 and bushing 4 and other components into the inside of the diesel engine block 12 from both ends respectively to machine the camshaft holes 13 at different positions. The tool shank 1 and other components have good versatility, and the length of the tool shank 1 can be as short as possible, with good stiffness, high machining accuracy, and cost savings in manufacturing.

[0046] The parts not detailed in the present invention are the prior art; for those of ordinary skill in the art, the technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as the combinations of these technical features do not conflict, they should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
