Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of engines, in particular to an engine camshaft timing installation and positioning tool. Background Art

[0002] During engine operation, the engine transmits the rotation of the crankshaft to the camshaft via a timing belt or chain according to the requirements of each cylinder's working cycle and ignition sequence. The cams on the camshaft timely control the opening or closing of the corresponding valves to complete the intake and exhaust operations, allowing fresh air and post-combustion exhaust gases to enter and exit the cylinders in a timely and sufficient manner. Therefore, timing installation is a key step in ensuring the accuracy of the engine's intake and exhaust timing. To facilitate installation, markings are generally made on the intake and exhaust camshaft gears and the engine, and on the crankshaft and the engine during design. During installation, the markings on the intake and exhaust camshaft gears and the engine, and on the crankshaft and the engine, are aligned to ensure accurate timing.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with publication number , discloses a camshaft timing installation method and camshaft timing tooling. The method involves setting the camshaft timing tooling on the cylinder head of the engine and rotating the engine flywheel to the OT mark line position. At this time, the first positioning rod is located in the tooth groove at the top center of the idler wheel, and the second positioning rod points to the second marking tooth. The first marking tooth is then engaged with the second marking tooth to complete the camshaft timing installation. Through the above method, there is no need to process the marking tooth number on the gear, which reduces the production process and facilitates the manufacture and installation of gears related to valve timing. Moreover, after replacing the camshaft, the cam timing tooling can also be used to determine the second marking tooth of the idler wheel that is engaged with the camshaft, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0004] However, during use, this device has difficulty adapting to the difference in spacing between the camshaft body and the crankshaft when facing different models of engines, resulting in the same tool being unable to be used universally, increasing equipment costs; at the same time, when adjusting the angle between the two timing mechanisms to match the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft, there is a lack of convenient and precise adjustment methods, and coaxial deviations between the positioning holes and the pin holes often occur, affecting the timing installation accuracy and causing abnormal engine operation; in addition, the positioning components of some tools lack sufficient stability in matching with the shaft holes and pin holes, and are prone to displacement during installation, further reducing positioning reliability.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, an embedding hole 370 is opened on the outer wall of the first positioning ring 341 , and the depth of the embedding hole 370 is greater than the thickness of the nut of the adjusting bolt 390 , thereby facilitating the adjustment bolt 390 to be completely installed into the interior of the first positioning ring 341 .

[0045] In an optional embodiment, hard rubber pads are fixedly provided on the outer walls of the first positioning ring 341 and the second positioning ring 351 to enhance the friction with the inner wall of the shaft hole and facilitate fixation.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the installation height of the guide rod 240 and the screw rod 250 on the first side plate 220 and the second side plate 230 is higher than the height of the adjustment knob 310 to facilitate the rotation of the screw rod 250 .

[0047] In an optional embodiment, angle scale lines are engraved on the first mounting plate 200 and the second mounting plate 210 at positions corresponding to the adjusting knobs 310, and an indicator arrow is provided on the edge of the adjusting knob 310 for accurately marking the rotation angle of the positioning plate. Distance scale lines are engraved on the first side plate 220 along the length direction of the guide rod 240, and a reference line is provided at a corresponding position on the second side plate 230 for accurately marking the distance between the first mounting plate 200 and the second mounting plate 210.

Then, the adjusting mechanism 300 is used to first insert the locating ring into the shaft holes of the camshaft 100 body and the crankshaft 110, and then the spacing between the first mounting plate 200 and the second mounting plate 210 is adjusted by adjusting the screw 250 in the mounting mechanism to adapt to camshafts 100 bodies and crankshafts 110 of different spacings; turning the adjusting knob 310 drives the limit block 330 to rotate around the axis of the locating column 320, and accurately adjusts the angle in combination with the angle scale line and the indicator arrow so that the locating hole 360 ​​is aligned with the first The pin hole 101 and the second pin hole 111 are coaxial, and finally the screw 250 is rotated to adjust the positioning column 320 to be able to pass through the positioning hole 360 ​​and insert into the first pin hole 101 and the second pin hole 111, while driving the limit block 330 to rotate so that it can be completely installed into the interior of the limit groove 361, thereby completing the timing positioning installation of the camshaft 100 body and the crankshaft 110.

[0051] In summary, the engine camshaft 100 timing installation and positioning tool adjusts the distance between the first mounting plate 200 and the second mounting plate 210 through the screw 250, and the positioning column 320 is driven to rotate by the adjustment knob 310 to achieve the adaptation of the camshaft 100 body and the crankshaft 110 of different spacings and relative angles, achieving a widely applicable effect. When faced with the difference in spacing between the camshaft 100 and the crankshaft 110 in different models of engines, rotating the screw 250 can flexibly change the distance between the two mounting plates, so that the positioning column 320 is accurately inserted into the corresponding pin hole; at the same time, rotating the adjustment knob 310 can adjust the angle of the timing mechanism, ensuring that the positioning ring and the shaft hole, and the positioning hole 360 ​​and the pin hole are accurately aligned. This design breaks the fixed size limitation of traditional tools and can adapt to engines of various specifications without changing tools, greatly improving the versatility of the tool, reducing equipment investment costs, and improving the efficiency of installation operations.

[0052] This engine camshaft 100 timing installation positioning tool changes the distance between the first positioning plate 340 and the second positioning plate 350 by adjusting the cooperation between the bolt 390 and the threaded sleeve 380, so that the fixed area formed by the positioning ring can adapt to the shaft holes of camshafts 100 and crankshafts 110 of different sizes, thereby enhancing the adaptability of the tool. When there is a difference in the shaft hole diameters of the camshaft 100 and the crankshaft 110, screwing the adjusting bolt 390 can adjust the distance between the first positioning ring 341 and the second positioning ring 351 so that it fits tightly against the inner wall of the shaft hole. This adjustable structure avoids the trouble of replacing positioning components due to different shaft hole sizes, ensures stable installation on engines of various specifications, improves the scope of use and practicality of the tool, and reduces the time cost of the operator replacing the tool.

[0053] This engine camshaft 100 timing installation and positioning tool realizes precise limiting and status observation when adjusting the positioning plate angle through the cooperation of the limit block 330 and the limit groove 361 and the setting of the observation hole 311, thereby achieving the effect of improving the installation and positioning accuracy. During the process of adjusting the positioning plate angle, the limit block 330 slides along the limit groove 361 to limit the rotation range of the positioning plate and avoid positioning deviation caused by excessive rotation; the observation hole 311 can intuitively observe the position of the limit block 330, which is convenient for the operator to judge whether the positioning hole 360 ​​is coaxial with the pin hole. This design effectively reduces human operation errors, ensures that the positioning column 320 can be accurately inserted into the pin hole, ensures that the timing position of the camshaft 100 and the crankshaft 110 is accurate and correct, and improves the engine assembly quality and operation stability.
