Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of grinding and repair technology, and specifically relates to an engine valve grinding tool. Background Technology

[0002] Engine valves (also known as valves or valves) are key components in the valve train of an internal combustion engine, primarily responsible for controlling the engine's intake and exhaust processes. Currently, well workover equipment is mainly powered by CAT diesel engines, requiring regular overhauls to ensure performance and durability. Valve grinding is an important part of engine overhaul projects.

[0003] Traditional grinding methods typically involve manually holding a pneumatic grinder. Since the grinder lacks a dedicated handle, the operator must hold it by the air inlet and air intake adjustment knob, making it difficult to grip. Furthermore, the high-frequency vibration of the grinder during handheld operation causes misalignment and leveling, resulting in inconsistent grinding quality and a lower pass rate. Additionally, the method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and can lead to operator fatigue, all of which require improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of the present invention can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The illustration shows an embodiment of the present invention, which discloses an engine valve grinding tool, including a support base 1, a support frame 2, valve grinders 3, and an intake manifold assembly 4. The support base 1 is used to fix the engine block, and the support frame 2 is mounted on the support base 1. Multiple valve grinders 3 are provided, each mounted on the support frame 2. Each valve grinder 3 is aligned with a corresponding valve of the engine and used to grind the valve. This embodiment only shows the state of four valve grinders 3. One end of the intake manifold assembly 4 is connected to each of the valve grinders 3, and the other end is used to connect to an external air source.

[0042] The engine valve grinding tool in this embodiment can be installed on the engine block and grinds the corresponding valves separately using multiple valve grinders 3, thereby achieving efficient grinding of engine valves, reducing the workload of workers, and improving work efficiency. At the same time, the mechanized grinding operation results in smaller errors compared to manual grinding, ensuring grinding quality and a high pass rate, thus guaranteeing the engine's service life.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the support base 1 includes a horizontally arranged support ring 11, which is used to fit against the engine cylinder block. The support ring 11 is provided with a plurality of limiting parts 12, which are used to fix the engine cylinder block respectively.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the outer contour of the support ring 11 is rectangular and the inner contour is circular. The limiting part 12 includes four magnetic seats 121, which are correspondingly arranged at the four corners of the support ring 11 and are used to magnetically fix it to the engine cylinder block, so as to realize the quick connection and disassembly of the support seat 1 and the engine cylinder block.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the support ring 11 has clearance notches 13 at its four corners, and the four magnetic gauge holders 121 are respectively inserted into the corresponding clearance notches 13. The four magnetic gauge holders 121 are welded and fixed to the support ring 11. At the same time, the lower surface of the magnetic gauge holder 121 is flush with the lower surface of the support ring 11.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 2 includes two vertically and symmetrically arranged support screws 21, and the bottoms of the two support screws 21 are respectively connected to the support ring 11. A mounting plate 22 is horizontally arranged above the support ring 11, and the mounting plate 22 has two first mounting holes 23, through which the two support screws 21 pass. Each support screw 21 is screwed with a pair of locking nuts 24, and each pair of locking nuts 24 clamps the mounting plate 22, thereby fixing the mounting plate 22 to the support screws 21. The mounting plate 22 has multiple second mounting holes 25, through which multiple valve grinders 3 pass, and which are respectively connected to the mounting plate 22.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the support ring 11 has two threaded holes 26. The bottoms of the two support screws 21 are threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded holes 26. The bottoms of the two support screws 21 pass through the corresponding threaded holes 26 and are used for positioning and engagement with the mounting holes of the engine cylinder block, thereby achieving rapid positioning when the support ring 11 is connected to the engine cylinder block. At the same time, the bottoms of the two support screws 21 are threadedly connected to clamping nuts 6, which can abut and limit the movement against the upper surface of the support ring 11.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the support frame 2 also includes a straightening plate 27 horizontally disposed above the mounting plate 22. The straightening plate 27 has two first support holes 28, which are aligned with two first mounting holes 23. Two support screws 21 pass through the corresponding first support holes 28. Each support screw 21 is threaded with a pair of limiting nuts 29, and each pair of limiting nuts 29 clamps the straightening plate 27, thereby fixing the straightening plate 27 to the support screws 21.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the straightening plate 27 is provided with multiple second support holes 30, which are aligned one-to-one with multiple second mounting holes 25. Multiple valve grinders 3 pass through the corresponding second support holes 30 and are connected to the straightening plate 27. At the same time, a pair of lifting handles 5 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the straightening plate 27 to facilitate the lifting, carrying and other operations of the grinding tools by the operator.

[0050] The valve grinder 3 is connected to the mounting plate 22 and the straightening plate 27 respectively, which straightens the valve grinder 3 and improves the connection stability of the valve grinder 3. At the same time, since the positions of the mounting plate 22 and the straightening plate 27 are adjustable, the grinding tool can be adapted to valve grinders 3 of different sizes, improving its adaptability.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, each valve grinder 3 includes a grinding body 31, and a grinding block 32 is fixedly connected to the piston shaft of the grinding body 31. The grinding block 32 is used to grind the engine valves. At the same time, an air intake 33 is provided on the top of the grinding body 31, and the air intake 33 is connected to the air intake manifold 4.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the outer diameter of the grinding machine body 31 has a three-section tapering structure, so that the upper end of the grinding machine body 31 forms a first variable diameter positioning step surface 34 and the lower end forms a second variable diameter positioning step surface 35. The first variable diameter positioning step surface 34 abuts and limits the upper surface of the straightening plate 27, and the second variable diameter positioning step surface 35 abuts and limits the upper surface of the mounting plate 22. At the same time, a clamping ring 36 is threadedly fitted at the lower end of the grinding machine body 31, and the clamping ring 36 is used to press against the lower surface of the mounting plate 22. That is, the clamping ring 36 and the second variable diameter positioning step surface 35 together clamp the mounting plate 22.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the intake manifold 4 includes an intake main pipe 41 and multiple intake branch pipes 42. The intake main pipe 41 and multiple intake branch pipes 42 are connected by a split connector 43, and the multiple intake branch pipes 42 are respectively connected to the corresponding intake section 33 so that multiple valve grinders 3 can open and close synchronously.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the air intake 33 includes an air intake head 331, a regulating valve 332, and an air intake nozzle 333. The air intake head 331 is connected to the top of the grinding machine body 31. The regulating valve 332 and the air intake nozzle 333 are respectively disposed on the air intake head 331. The air intake nozzle 333 is vertically disposed and connected to the corresponding air intake branch pipe 42 to facilitate the arrangement of components such as the air intake 33 and the air intake pipe assembly 4 by the operator.

[0055] As can be seen from the above process, the use of this grinding tool can achieve efficient grinding of engine valves, reduce the workload of workers, improve work efficiency, ensure grinding quality and grinding qualification rate, thereby extending the service life of diesel engines and enhancing the safety of well repair operations.
